Miss Ada May Thompson, girl sixteen years
old, living in South Des Moines, Iowa, shot
herself in the kitchen of her parents house on
Sunday night. She was attached to a barber,
bat her parents objected to her acceptance Of
his attentions He called Sunday evening and
before leaving told her he was about to cease
his attentions to her. She seemed very much
affected and said as they parted: II expect

Open Crates on Second Floors.

Experts in house building have suggested
that CRATES in second stories are usually less safe
than those below, as the narrower joists give
little room for the boxing of the hearth. 1t is

The Story Of a Diamond Necklace.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
The birmingham magistrates were yesterday
called upon to adjudicste on curious case. A
London lady staying in Wales was some time
since robbed Of diamond necklace of the
value OF ESQ. She recently received an
anonymous letter, in which the writer said
that, being in sore need, she took the necklace
but without fraudulent intention. She was
now on the point of sailing for a far country,
and took the opportunity of saying that the
necklace had been pawned for f35 with Woods,
Of birmingham. Messrs. Woods did not deny
having received the necklace from a lady who
seemed likely owner Of such jewel, but they
submitted that they were not called upon to
give 1t up to the present claimant, because it
was not received as pledge, but under special
contract, which the law did not affect. Event-
ually they gave up the necklace for clio.

THE RAILROAD TnROUCH BULGARIA.

In spite of Russia's opposition and all
tho harassing to which he has been sub
ject since accepting the rulership of Bull
garia, Prince Ferdinand has steadily ex-
erted himself to improve the country,
and the completion of this road is practi-
cally his work. The day of its opening
was grand fete in his little domin-
ion. He officiated in person, and was
especially gracious to the French
engineers who had designed the
route and directed the work, as
well as to the many artists and reporters
present. Bulgaria is a country Of great
natural fertility, and the people were
once noted for their love Of and skill in
gardening; but war rapine and bad gov
ernment have almost obliterated the
marks Of their taste. Tho prince designs
to reawaken their taste, to improve agri-
culture and facilitate trade and communi-
cation with the world, and this railroad
is his first achievement in that line.

prior TO the time appointed in that act
for the meeting Of the electors. A dupli-
cate certificate is 60 be sent forthwith
by mail to the President of the Senate,
and a triplicate is to be delivered "forth-
with TO the judge Of the district. Thus it
would be impossible for the
electors, on the second Monday Of Jan
uary, as provided by the act of 1887,
to send one of the certificates by
messenger TO the President Of the Senate
to be delivered before the first Wednes-
day in January. But they could forth
with mail a certificate and deliver
another to the Judge of the District
Court. Fortunately the act Of 1892 pro-
vides for the possible failure Of the mes
senger to act In that case the Secre-
tary of State is required TO send a special
messenger to the district judge in whose
custody one certificate has been lodged,
and the judge is thereupon required to
transmit that certificate TO the seat Of
the government. This is obscure.
though IL is evidently intended
that the certificate filed with the Judge
shall take the place of that which should
have been sent by messenger to the Pre-
sident of tue Senate. In practice no trou-
bic need ensue from the defect in the act
of 1887 TO change the date fixed for de
livery of the certificate. There would
necessarily be failure. Bnt that would
be corrected in the manner provided for
in the act Of 1902 Bnt he omission ought
to be supplied so as to leave, if possible,
no cause of dispute or trouble on that
score Congress is still in session, and
there ought 20 beno difficulty IN promptly
passing an act amending that of 1892 so
as to change the date for the delivery Of
the certificate by messenger to the second
Wednesday Of February or some other
convenient date It seems strange that
no one in the course Of the passage Of the
Act of 1887 though both houses noticed
the effect Of the change Of date for the
meeting of the electors IN relation TO the
date fixed by the unrepealed provisions Of
the Act Of 1892, for the delivery Of the
certificate of the vote cast hy the cleo
tors, The fault is not likely to lead to
any trouble for the reasons given above,
but it ought to be promptly corrected
