AFTER the United States supreme
court has decided one or two more ap-
peals like those of the Anarchists and
Maxwell, the ST. Louis trunk murderer,

a small annuity to all unmarried women
at the age of forty, provided those

a trifling sum after their thirteenth
birthday. The annuity. of course, is
never called for. Who ever heard of an

The Walls of the New York Capitol in q
Shaky Condition.

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 3.-The assembly
chamber is about to be vacated. The
preliminary report of the commission
appointed to examine the ceiling was
made this afternoon. They discovered
many serious movements of the
stone in the groined arch, all
of the main ribs of the vault
split and many of the stones cracked
clear through. The whole ceiling is de-

A time must come soon, they say, when
without any warning, the whole ceiling
will fall. They recommend the whole

been advanced by the fire brigade master at

through tho interior of buildings or the

connected with an ordinary suction and
