81 Maine, 63. An officer Tor service rendered
in his official character can change nothing
in excess of his salary but for services ner,
formed in his individual capaeity, he ia On
eonai footing with other individuals. The
same principle Is cited and confirmed In Goth

Nightingale, 1st Nevada. 323. the lieutenant
governor was made ex-otficio warden of the
states prison by the legislature. 1t was held
warden in addition to his salary as lieuten-
ant governor.
1t seems to me very clear
from the numerous authorities
on the subject that position on the State
House Commission was an employment and
not an office, and that the governor in sery-
ing thereon was In no way acting within his
scope as governor, and that he was clearly
entitled to compensation for his services. In
conclusion will cite one more precedent
sive of the whole question. Article 6, sec
tion of the constitution reads:
"The Justices OF the Supreme Judicial Court,
shall, at stated times, receive a compensation
which shall not be diminished during their con-
tinuance In office, but they shall receive no other
fee or reward" Section reads "The justices
of the Supreme Judicial Court shall hold no office
under the United States nor any state, nor any
other office under this states except that Of justice
OF the peace"
1t will not be questioned that these two
Sc 6csions as closely confine justice of the Su-
preme Court within the lines Of his office as
the sections before cited confine the COVER
nor In his. Still under these restrictions

think this case furnishes strong and, In
the absence of direct authority to the con-
tlary, conclusive precedent in establishing
the constitutional right of the Governor to
perform any service In any employment
which does not fall within his official duty,
and receive compensation therefor.

men are "lifers," but the average term Of
punishment is SIS years. The ages vary
from fifteen 20 seventy with an average

gan had her in his arms, badly burned, it
is true, but not fatally hurt. He held her
up and great cry arose. It was echoed
cheer on cheer through all the adjacent
streets.
IA girl-a nine-year-old girl-and alive
yes, alive under all that wreckp
And then more cheers for the gallant
firemen And yet was the cheering less
strange than the weeping The ordinarily
reserved New York nature gave way, and
hundreds of people in whom one would
have thought the emotions to be dead
sobbed in their excitement. 1t was Mamie
Heagney, whose parents were crazed with
grief. Her little three-year-old sister,
Annie, had died near her. but her brother,
Peter, five years old, had gone away just
before the collapse and thus escaped.
Soon details of other marvellous escapes
were heard. One boy had fallen all the
five stories under heavy engine which
had, nevertheless, saved him from serious
hurt. One waiter had escaped from the
front of the restaurant, another from the
back. A few girls had escaped by rear
window. And so on. But of the $50 or
more known 20 have been in the building
very few are accounted for. All the rest.
at least 100 were instantly killed. The
horrible sights revealed as the workmen,
one squad succeeding another day and
night, tore away the wreck may easily be
imagined. And as TO whether the calam-
ity was due to a defective building, an ex-
plosion or the heavy presses, we must
await the slow action of a coroner's jury.

Cnrred rrnnk. Get strairht.

Possibly the greatest manifestation Of
growth power that could Be referred to
is in the power of many trees TO curve
their trunks when partly blown over,
though they may have had them straight
for quarter of g century. This curious
subject is yet in its infancy as 8 branch
Of study; but so far the curving has
been noticed more in connection with
palms and coniferous trees. A trunk
may be, say twenty or thirty feet high
and foot thick, and as straight as s gun

come tilted in q few years the whole
trunk from the ground 20 the summit

nastic exhibitions while descending. Whai
the assembled people saw was this:
thin, pale girl, weighing less than hun
6red pounds, who undertook her task whit
almost overcome by nervousness. Sht
made the ascent all right and at the slip
ulated altitude cut the parachute loose
from the balloon. The former shot down
ward, then spread out and more slowly
sought the earth. At height of 500 feet
the girl attempted to perform on the
trapeze Her tiny strength was not equai
TO the effort. One hand loosed its hold ano
then the other, and down she sped through
the air to an awful death Her body STRUCK
the ground with a thud that was heard
and remarked on a mile away, and wheI
the terrified witnesses of the TRACED

several rOds-here an arm, there Jawbone

When the fragments had been collected
! and the first shock was over, the inquiry
came, "Who was frankie LavelleW II
didn't take long to obtain an answer. Hel
real name was Annie Harkes, and until
she grew TO womanhoOd she lived with hel
parents at Indianapolis While yet hardly
more than girl the tempter crossed her
path, she sinned, suffered and was driven
from home. Her child was born dead in
hosnital at Cincinnati, and then she sought
TO earn an honest living as domestic and
restaurant servant.
Some weeks ago, being out of work, she
hired bare and cherries room, hardly
large enough to hold a bed, and began
anew the search for occupation. She saw
the advertisement of a man who wanted
girl to make balloon ascensions. In hen
desperation and poverty she went to him
and lied. She said she was an experienced
aeronaut and secured an engagement at
five dollars for each exhibition. At Coney
island she donned the tawdry tights and
spangles of performer" and started on
her journey Of death, weak and nerveless
with hunger.
In her room were found enough worn
clothes TO about fill large pocket hand
kerchief, and letters from several mash
ers and married men who had no respect
for poverty and regarded virtue as an un-
known quantity. Evidently the child
she was hardly twenty years of age-had
had tough time of it in this world, and
perhaps that terrible fall was a happy re-
lease from tragic existence.

When silk Wa. Costly.

When silk was first worn in England
two nantes on the shoulders Of noble
ladies belonging TO Elizabeth's court at
tracted more attention than even the
queen. The manufacture Of goods from
raw silk began in England in 1904, and
was brought to perfection by the Hugue-
not refugees in 1888. Even at that time,
however, silk was very costly, a pair Of
stockings costing in our money little
over 500, cloak little less than 81 900.
Among the 3,052 dresses left by Eliza
beth at her death only twelve were Of
silk, and Leicester. more than his knight
hood, prided himself on pair Of silk
breeches which he had imported from
Italy at an expense of over $685.

The Rattlesnake Season.

Men who live in snake infested districts
have comparatively little fear of the effects
of bite. The other day William Light
ner, Of Beccaria township, Clearfield coun-
ty, Pa, was bitten on the wrist by huge
rattlesnake when some distance from
home. Having no whisky with him, be
took his knife and cut out the flesh into
which the fangs had pierced Then he
sucked the wound, bandaged his arm and
beyond a slight swelling he suffered but
little. At about the same time, near Mon
roe, Orange county, y. Y, an elevsn-year-
old boy went out in the woods, saw huge

and carried him alive and squirming into
town. The residents frightened him with
their cries of alarm. and be would have re-
leased his hold had he not been warned to
cling tight and avoid being bitten. The
snake was finally secured around the head
and rendered helpless, after which be vas

China's Formidable Secret Society.

The present widespread agitation against
foreigners in China is said to be directly
traceable to the Ko-lao-Hui, a secret soci-
ETY. which exercises a perfect terrorism
over it's members. Recently one of the
rioters at Wusueh was put to torture that
pain might wiring from him the names of
the ringleaders, but he would tell nothing.

case. If / give up the names the Kolaos
will kill me and the whole of my family,
and wipe my name off the face of the
earth. If 1 remain firm you Will kill me,
but the Kolaos will take care of my fam
ly." This terrible organization recruits
members in very INSCRIPTIONS fashion. A
man will go around the various kitchens
selling choppers, and telling each cook
that he need not pay till he has proved the
wares-perhaps not for year. Only he
must sign the peddler's book. Next day
the peddler arrives and shows the I'M
lucky cook that he has signed the roll of
the Ko-lao-Hui, and henceforward must
obey their behests.
