his authority from the constitution. which sal
the superior judges shall make rules He IA
yored q resolution that 1t was the opinion OF
majority of the judges of she state that the rules
should be adopted.
Judge Allyn was In favor of the motion; If he
did not consider it within the power of this
convention to make rules for all courts he
should propose that they at once adjourn and
go home. He did not see. in face of the manda-
tory declaration of the constitution that the
judges should adopt uniform system OF rules,
how that power could be circumscribed. In the
ordinary affairs of life the vote of the majority
ruled the minority, and he did not understand
why that rule should not be observed in this
case.
Judge Lichtenberg agreed with sll that had
been said as to judicial powers, but he did not
take the view that majority of the judges OF
the superior courts present at a meeting could
bind judges as to the rules of their own court.
The constitution said the judges should make
uniform rules. but 1t nowhere said that ma
jority might do so.
Judge Humes moved that no rule be adopted
unless it receives a vote of thirteen, which
would make majority of all the judges of the
state. This would meet the objection Of Judge
Lichtenberg, who had argued that as there were
only fifteen present and two proxies, making
seventeen, nine might vote one way and eight
present agree with the seven absent, sc that the
minority of nine would really control the other
fifteen.
A long discussion followed as to the value OF
votes, whether judge sitting in more than one
county court should cast vote for each county,
and If carrying out this plan, court with three
judges should have only one vote.
Judge Lehtenberg read the constitution to
show that il was not the counties but the judges
VINO were to make the rules. The debate raised
the old question whether there were thirty-four
superior courts or twenty-four judges OF one
superior court. II was decided to adopt no rule
without the consent of thirteen judges present
or approved by seventeen out of the thirty four
counties.
The convention then adjourned until $50 this

SHOT DEAD AT TABLE
A Rancher's Son Murdered Near
Cedar Mountain.
NOT KNOWN TO HAVE AN ENEMY
An Assassin Fires With Deadly Aim
Through the Window at Willie
Mason-His Father Absent.

Willie Mason, the son OF Thomas Mason, a
raneher, was shot and instantly kill ed last even
ing oy concealed assassin, at his homo near
CEDAR Mountain. The young man sat at supper
In his fathers house, which Is situated short
distance from Cedar Mountain, when q rifle shot
startled all al the table. Willie sprang to his
feet, placed both hands to his left side and
without word, fell dead
At the table were two brothers of the young
man ana two hired men. The fatal shot was
nred through window, and though il was evil
dent that the murderer could not have been
four feet distant from his victim, none of those
at the table saw him. nor have they the slightest
IDEA who he Is. The ball passed through the
lett arm near the elbow and entered the left
side 1t was plain that the shot was intended
for hims as the range was such that 1t would not
strike any one else at the table.
Immediately after the shooting the following
dispatch was sent from Cedar Mountain to
Sheriff Woolery by William 5. Mayfeld:
Will Mason was shot and killed by an I'M
Known Known party tonight. Please find his father.
Ihomas Mason, at Frank Dorans lodging
house, corner OF Fifth and Jefferson streets,
and tell him the news. Come at once
At the time of the tragedy the young mans
father, Thomas Mason, was in this city arrang-
ing for the sale OF his seasons crop of hops
The following dispatch from Cedar Mountain
was sent to his lodgings
Willie was shot this evening Come at once
and bring sheriff.
The old gentleman did not receive the dis
patch. He had completed all his arrangements
In the city and left for home about two hours
before. little dreaming that when he arrived at
Cedar Mountain, he would find his household
in mourning.
Sheriff Wooiery sent Deputy Jack Mcdonald
out to the scene of the tragedy last evening
with instructions to investigate the murder and
either report at once or make arrests.
The murdered boys parents have lived near
Cedar Mountain on wellcultivated farm for
the past nineteen years Willie was only % years
old, and all who knew him speak of him as a
young man of exemplary habits and good
promise. The feeling at Cedar Mountain, where
every one was his friend, is very bitter.

fused yesterday TO grant motion to dismiss the
libel suit brought by Robert Joseph, the negro
sailor, against the British vessel Fred b. Taylor.
Rev. John b. Alexander, the British vice-eonsul,
located at Port Townsend, who has been inter-
ested in the case, petitioned the court to dis
miss the libel Colonel J. C. Haines appeared for
the vessel and the firm of Smith e. Bird for the
libellant and argued the motion yesterday after
noon. Afiidavits were introduced by the de-
tense to the effect that Joseph is British sub
ject instead of an American citizen, as he claims
to be.
In support of that motion Colonel Haines
argued that in Difference to the comfy of nations
the case should be brought before the British
consul, also laying stress on the point that the
shipping papers show Joseph to be a British sub
ject In giving his decision Judge Hanford said
that the libellant claimed to be an American citi
zen and this being an open question he was
entitled TO protection until the matter could DO
decided from the testimony in the case.

responded to the toast of the "Circuit Court of
Appeals in a pleasant and good humored
relation to his own decisions Judge
Graves, of Ellensburg, made an eloquent speech
on behalf of "Judge and Lawyers" which
was warmly applauded for its ability.
The wittiest speech of the evening wss
that of Judge Upton, of Walla Walla, who kept
bis audience in a continuous roar of laughter.
He concluded merry criticism of "the court
above with hearty tribute to the integrity
of Judge Anders Colonel T. V. Eddy elo-
quently eulogized Governor Ferry. Judge
Lichtenberg responded for the superior court
and Judge Campbell, of Tacoma, for "Judge and
Jury" Judge Jacobs was called upon suddenly to

Enthusiasm on the Increase.

Only five day have elapsed since Miller first
addition to Everett has been put on the market
at the office of Lonsway Co., by the resident
agent, and scarcely anything has been said
about it as it needs no advertising. Already
half OF the addition has been sold and conf
dence is such they will either withdraw the ad-
dition or advance prices % per cent on Deem
bert. This speaks well for the coming city and
particularly for Millers addition as it lies mid
way to improvements and nowhere could q
finer building addition be secured.

Fashions in Jewelry.

A rare jewel on a slender chain pleases
fastidious tastes.
Ornate vases of Berlin ware are among
the new importations.
Safety matches lie concealed in minia-
ture little wood basket of silver.
Holders for sauce bottles are like extra
high coasters with perforated bands.
A glass dish for flowers has an outer COW
ering of real lace, which has been overlaid
with gold.
Silver gilt spoons with enamel bowls and
silver gilt bowls with enamel handles come
in the same set.
Little racks are sumptuous in brass,
Dresden china, Berlin faience, and silver.
They are large, useful and ornamental.
Silver cornucopiss with perforated bord-
ers hold silken' bags that close with cords
and tassels. They are intended for bon
bons.
Little glass cabinets with ormolu mounts
are intended to hold the little pieces of
faience bric-a- brac to which allusion has
been made
Trays for sealing letters have an edge
like crimped ruffie These hold cradle
for the seal, receptacle for the stick of
wax, tiny lamp, and mucilage pot.
The most exquisite pieces of bric-a- brac
in the form of tables, chairs, screens, sedan
chairs, toilet tables of colored enamels
covered with painting and brass mounted,
are brought out for the holidays.
Oblong boxes of silver, prettily chased,
have at one end a crossbar, at the other a
square superimposed box. The rest is to
support the curling tongs; the little box is
an alcohol lamp for heating the tongs.

Latest Things in Gloves.

The beauty and chic of white suede
gloves consists of their freshness, which
may easily be renewed with bath of dry
cornmeal or benzine, hence no excuse for
dirty gloves.
Every now ana then fancy, sillken, en-
broidered or lace top ball gloves are shown,
but they never seem sin it."
Gloves having embroidered gauntlets
have not taken as briskly as was expected.
For day wear four button glacs, eight
button mousquetaire or Biarritz are the
correct mode.
Pearl and silver grey shades are having q
run of warm favor for both day and even
ing wear.
Jacket sleeves are antagonistic to the
stiff gauntlets. They will hardly go over
them and must not go under. or Dame
