A petition for the Communication of the
capital sentence OF George Black, the Al
bany county murderer. to imprisonment
forl life was circulated. Black claims
that he is innocent. The appeal for
clemency was not signed by many sub

jurors join in the petition.
A quite forceful plea for mercy was
made on behalf of the criminal. while
legal representatives of the territory and
county spoke against Communication.
Governor Warren, after the hearing,
said he would withhold his decision until
to morrow.
The petition will probably be denied.

COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
In committee of the whole council file
No. "a, Mr.. Campbell bill fixing the sala-
~ OF probate judges, clerks Of district
courts, assessors and justices Of the peace.
An amendment fixing the compensation OF
county treasurers was added. The amend
ment fixes the per centum OF the treas
urers for collecting taxes and limits the
amount to 81, 200 per annum.
This bill fixes the fines ofiustices of the
peace at five dollars for performing the
marriage ceremony. Mr.. McGill moved
an amendment fixing the fee at two dol
lars. In support of his amendment he
said he thought five dollars was too much,
that marriage should be encouraged, that
the council had a number of. bachelors
who might, if the rates were fixed at a
reasonable figure, emerge from their
present miserable condition and get mar
ried.
MIR. Galbraith supported Mr.. McGill's
views. He knew by experience the mar
ried state was the best and the cost of the
ceremony should be within the reach of
all.
Mr.. Murphy thought the married men
of the council were proceeding upon the
theory that misery loves company an d
as a matter of self protection he moved
to amend by making the fee ten dollars.
Messrs. Beck, Liggett and Campbell
seconded Mr.. Murphy's amendment
simultaneously and with a~lacrity. Mr..
MurphY's amendment was lost, the mar
ried men voting down the single men BY a
vote of seven to four. Mr.. McGllps
amendment was then carried BY the same
vote and the price of the marriage cere'
mony fixed at two dollars.
With these amendments the bill wal
recommended for passage.

Colorado PRECEDENT.

At a late hour last night a number Of
attorneys who had been considering the
question in all its phases, came to the
conclusion hat Col Downey was mistaken
in his opinion that the constitution was
retroactive in its operation. The main
authority is a decision of the Colorado
supreme court in a similar case. The
tribunal first held as Col. Downey recited
yesterday morning, but reopened the case
and reversed the ruling.

To give an off hand estimate, should say
that the several factories of this country turn
out about two million watches each year.
The demand for them increases, here and in
all civilized countries, even in larger ratio
than the increase of population. OF course
the much smaller number of high priced
watches made in Switzerland show much
larger financial returns in proportion to the
total number made than in America, where
the majority are extremely low priced. 1t
should be added that our American watches,
costing the purchaser as low as 81 at retail,
are fully as reliable and satisfactory in the
matter of accurately recording time as the
extravagantly high priced and deliberately
constructed watches imported for and pur-
chased by an annually decreasing number of
Americans, who labor under the now practi-
cally exploded Authorization that Swiss
watch, or anything, in fact, that is imported
from Europe, must be better than anything
in the same line produced here, New York

That woman who, as wife and mother,
thinks her life narrow compared to that of
some friend who has chosen as her field of
work the lecture platform or one of the pro-
fessons may see grand possibilities in the
following sketch of perfect home by the late
Helen Hunt jackson:
The most perfect home I ever saw was q
little house into the sweet incense Of whose
fires went no costly things. A thousand
dollars served as a yearly living for father,
mother and three children. But the mother
was the creator of home; her relations with
the children were the most beautiful have
ever seen; every inmate Of the house involun-
tarily looked into her face for the keynote Of
the day, and it always rang clear. From the
rose bud or clover leaf which, In spite of her
hard housework, she always found time to
put beside our plates at breakfast, down to
the story she had in hand to read In the
evening, there was no intermission Of her in
nuence. She has always been and will al
ways be my ideal of mother, wife and home
maker. If to her quick brain, loving heart
and exquisite face had been added the appli-
ances of wealth and engagements of wide
culture, hers would have been absolutely the
ideal home. As it was, it was the best have
ever seen.

Talk loudly in public places.
Wear torn glove when needle and
thread aud few stitches would make il all
right
Fail in answering letters or returning visits,
unless she is i'll or in trouble
Fret about the heat or the cold, the sun or
the rain, the air or the lack Of it.
Make an engagement and then not be on

Complain of her family or discuss personal
affairs with strangers
Always believe the worst rather than the
