most prominent. New Mexico candi-
dates are Joseph Dwyer, Judge Bradford
Prince, of the Territory, A. G. Morrison
and General J. B. Bowman.
G. II. Harrison has come to Washing
ton to push mis- claims for Governor OF
Alaska. He has fourteen rivals in Mich
igan, three in Wisconsin, two in Nebras-
ka, one in Iowa, and half-a-dozen more
in different parts of the country.
In Alaska there are no party organiza-
tions and no public press, which makes
it necessary that the Governor of that
Territory should be a man of such high
character as not to need such supervision
as the officials in other Territories are
subjected to, because of the expense oi
political parties and the printing of news
papers. He would endeavor, for this
particular office, to find man who will
not need any such spur to do his duty.
The attention of the President was called
to the alleged inefiiciency in the railway
mail service, and the PRONUNCIATION OF an
order by the late administration placing
the service under the provisions of the
civil service rule. The President replied
that he would not revoke that order, bu
| would modify it somewhat.
He will have the rule touching rein
statements changed, where it is specified
that a dismissed employee may be re
stored, by having the words "within ont
year" stricken out. The order will take
effect on the 10Th of June instead OF tn,
18th of March.

that on the first Monday in December

prison. Recess was had by the Court
until ! o'clock at which hour cases Nos.
81 and 68 Mao, Ponaha and Rahapa (all

and the Court was adjourned at IL 80 a.
M. until 10 a. m. on Saturday.

Capt. Davis of the five masted
schooner Governor Ames, built ct
Waldoboro, Me-, had q remarkable
mother. She was not content with
bringing up her own eleven sons and
daughters in the way they should go,
but adopted two or three other chill
drcn. She was the doctor Of the whole
neighborhood. Physicians worc few
and inexperienced, as is usual in small
country places, and Mrs. Davis was
always sent for in hurry when any
ono was sick. Many were the men
sho saved from death. One man,
given up for dead by everybody else,
is now very wealthy citizen of q
western state. Often there would be
two calls for her at once, and in ono
case couple Of men carried her half
mile through snow waist deep to the
sick bed of friend. She was present
at tho birth of every child born in the
village for over forty years. Lewis
