 ''You're excited, my dear boy" retorted Commissioner Hess.
 He coolly produced cigar, placed it in the revolver, pulled the trigger, and cut v- shaped piece fresn the cigar. Next, by a simple turn of the wrist he threw the barrel down, extracted match and lighted his cigar. He then turned the cylinder of the revolver around, opened side door, gave it Q tap and the clippings fell out.

Peor students at Yale.

The favorite method of paying for
board is to organize an eating club.
The process is simple. At the be-
ginning of year a man gees around
among his classmates and secures
eight or ten who agree to take their
meals together. He then goes to
some landlady and agrees to furnish
her with an eating club of students.
He agrees furthermore TO relieve her
from all pecuniary responsibility by
collecting at the end of each week
from the men the money for their
board and handing it over to her. In
return for this she agrees to furnish
him with his board. 1t is beneficial
to the student, because the members
of the club, knowing that he is in
Strengthened circumstances, are al
ways willing 10 help him by paying
regularly and promptly.
Every class has in it four or five
monitors, whose duty it is to record
the absence or tardiness of students
at recitations or morning prayers. A
monitor receives $50 year from the
faculty. The same amount is paid
each year to the man who rings the
college bell. OF late years the col
lege press has been a fruitful source
of revenue TO its editors. The Liter
ary Magazine pays to each editor

In Favor Of Annexation.
The Spokane Revie,U is exhibiting
more than its usual enthusiasm of
the result of Judge Bucks candida
ey in Northern Idaho, and considers
that his vote proves conclusiVely
that the annexation feeling is prac-
tically unanimous in latah and Nez
Perce counties and pretty strong in
Shoshone, Kootenai and Idaho coun-
ties. 1t believes that the new repub>
lican delegate of Washington terrific
ry will more than Offset the influence
of Mr.. Dubois against division, and
that Senator Stewards bill, submit
ting the annexation question to the
voters of North Idaho, will be passed
at the next session of congress. The
ReUielU appears very sanguine that
North Idaho will soon become a part
Of Washington territory, but more
sanguine hopes than the Revieto en-
tertains have been disappointed.
If the question is ever submitted
to the vote of the five northern coun-
ties alone there is no doubt but the
annexation will win. but this propo-
sition will be streuuously opposed by
Mr.. Dubois, Gov. Stephenson and
others. With Nez Perce and Lake
counties solid for annexation, and
Idaho, Kootenai and Shoshone coun-
tiss with a large vote in favor of it,
the opposition would have to rustic
to maintain their hold on the pan
handle.-Cour dAlene sam.

Railroad Building.

Pittsburg Chronicle: We are
nearing the end of the railroad build
ing season of 1888, and the indica-
tions are that the mileage for the
year will be above 5000 miles of new
track Up to the 1st inst, $3.50
miles had been completed in the
United States. Altogether the
showing is very favorable, as it was
feared the general stagnation of bus
mess incident to presidential CAM
paign would seriously interfere with
the important branch of our materi-
al progress. During the ten months
ending with October, 2S0 lines made
additions to their trackage. and
many of them are still pushing the
work of construction with all posi-
bic energy.
The extensions have been greatest
In the far west, including the terri
tories, and in the southern states.
Among the latter Georgia leads in
miles of new track, with Kentucky,
South Carolina, Texas, Alabama,
Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia,
Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and
Arkansas followed in order named,
these states being credited with 2.14S
miles of the total. The new track
age, however, is fairly distributed
over the entire country, and com
prises less than usual OF the evil

GARDENERS SENTENCE.

The sentence of Gardner. for opium
smuggling and conspiracy is as
follows:
''On the first three counts in the
indictment, two years in the Erie
county penitentiary and to pay a fine
of $4,000, on the second and third
counts in the Indictment, two years
in the Erie county penitentiary and
to pay fine of $4,000. When the
jury returned with a verdict Of gull
ty in the conspiracy Indictment,
Gardner was sentenced to two years
more in the Erie county penitentiary.
The total sentence is thus six years
imprisonment and $4,000 fine"
This is well and good. We wish
others guilty of similar work could
be dealt with in like manner. But
this detection and conviction is
notice to all such offenders to cease
from their nefarious practices.

Until recently the Puget Sound
shingle has been little known in the
markets of the East But an effort
has been made of late to place it on
the markets there and at a price that
wotld bring 1t into large use. 1t is
thought that they can be laid down
there for $50 per thousand, afford
ing fair profit at $3.50 at retail. A
Tacoma correspondent of the Miss
sippi Valley Lumberman says: A
great deal of misapprehension pre-
walls among the dealers who have
handled them in the East. FIRE.
quently there are red streaks in the
shingles which are mistaken for rot
in the timber, but this is simply a
peculiarly in the wood and by no
means impairs it's durability or abil-,
ity to stand the test of all weather.
Another objection has also been
made in the East to the Puget Sound
shingle on account of its rather rough
appearance as compared with the
product of the pineries. This is due
to the difference in the machinery
and methods of saving employed
here as we'll as peculiarities in the
timber itself. The time, however, is
not far distant when the cedar shin>
gle will drive the pine shingle en-
tlrely out OF the markets of the East,
not only on account of its durability
but of its natural beauty, as it can at
very small cost be dressed and SIM
ply vanished, when it not only will
be more lasting but gives an elegant
finish to the building When var
nished it will retain its natural color
for years and becomes the handsom-
est of all woods. These vanished
shingles have been tried on this coast
not only for roofing but for finishing
the sides of houses instead of clap
boards, and nothing can be more
tasteful in appearance than IA house
finished in this manner.

THE CHAMPION SCHOONER.
She will have Five Masts and Draw
Twenty Feet Of Water.

The Great Eastern of scheonsrs is
being built at Waldoboro, Me. II
will have five masts. About $50 men
are at work ON her to get her ready
to move before the river freezes.
She will be known as the Gcverner
Ames, and is owned by the Ames
family and capitalists of Massachu-
setts and Rhode Island. Her lines
were taken from a model by Albert
s. Winslow, designer of Taunton,
Mass. The dimensions Of the Gov
ernor Ames are as follows: Length
of keel, 232 feet; leagth over all, 265
feet; breadth of beam, SO feet, depth,
81 feet; lower hold, 13 feht; between
decks, 8 feet. Her tonnage register
will be between 1900 and 1,9OO and
her coal carving capacity 1900 on a
draft of twenty feet and light water
draft of 9 feet. In the construction
of the Governor Ames 400 cubic tons
of Virginia white oak timber of the
best quality went into the frame.
The five lower masts, foremast. main.
mast. mizzenmast, jiggermast and
spsnkermast, are each lis feet in
length and 80 inches in diameter.
The topmasts are so feet in length.

Among the poor appointments

of the most important in Dakota. At
the request of Indiana Democrats.
especially that of Judge Lowry, one
OF the most corrupt men who ever
found place in congressional halls,
Cleveland appointed as one of the
the judges of the supreme court of
the Territory a fourth rate Indiana
lawyer. Any one of the large num-
Der OF lawyers at Fargo, where this
man at one time resided, was far
more competent than he for the DO

lawyers of that and other Dakota
cities had to swallow when they ad-
dressed Judge Mcconnell as Your

to party. The place has been occu-
pied bui not filled Sometimes court
has adjourned in the midst of impor-
tant trials TO allow the Judge to re
cover from drunk5. The incoming
administration will find it necessary
to remodel the territorial court of
Dakota. A great howl will doubtless
go up that it was done for partisan
purposes. So be it. It will in all
probability be done for partisan pur-
poses; but only that President Harri
son the party that he represents may
give the people an administration in

years, Washington Territory, for the
admission of which introduced a
bill in the Forty-ninth congress and
which passed the senate, will be ad-
mitted, without doubt. as will also
south Dakota, north Dakota and

that these territories will necessarily
be admitted, since they have lost the
control of the house, would pass bills
admitting them in order to get the
