THE BRIGHTON MYSTERY.
Evidence gainst Engineer Jeffreys
Seems 10 Be ccumulating.

Evidence Against Engineer Jeffreye
Seems Be Accommodating.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. An evening pa
per publishes the statement that one
Starkey, the night foreman of the rail-
road yard here, confessed today that
Engineer George Jeffreys two months
ago proposed to him and third party
to dispose OF Miss E. o. Ayres, the tele.
graph operator whose charred remains
wers found in the ruins Of the dep5t at
Brighton.
Jeffreys is in Jail here on suspicion of
being implicated in the death of the
woman, to whom it is said he was mar
ried some time ago, while having wife
and children residing in Oakland. He
declares that if a marriage between
George Jeffreys and Mics Ayres took
place in July last before Rev. Ferguson
in San Francisco, the groom was some
body who assumed his name and ap-
pearance.
This morning an incident came to
light which may dispel much mystery
Miss Ayres, three weeks before the
tragedy, left picture, securely sealed,
with neighbor, Mrs. Edward Mundy,
saying q person was trying to get it
away from her. The package has not
yet been opened. 1t is supposed to con-
tain picture of the person to whom
she referred as trying to secure it.

THE CAPITOL.

rounded by a multitude of people, is not
the same capitol which our forefathers
built. And yet it is the same capitol in
idea, in lines, in style, in character. Their
successors have simply enlarged and to
some extent improved the original design.
The central building itself, which was for
so long a time the capitol, is today prac-
tically what it was at the beginning of this
century. The evolution of the capitol as
building has been like that of the nation
behind it. 1t started with a central idea,
which has existed through all the changes
and decades. The additions and improve
ments have all been in consonance with the
original idea. AS luck-or perhaps genius
would have it, the constitution and the
capitol were alike in their elasticity. 1t
was possible to adapt them, to build upon
them without destroying harmony or sym
metry.
When the constitution was adopted prob
ably no living man foresaw nation of 65,-
100000, with Al separate states, within a
little more than a hundred years. Nor
could any one look into the future and see
that the little capitol building was to grow
to its present mammoth proportions. First
they constructed the two wings of the CEN
trail building leaving to the future the
task of filling in between. One of these
wings was for the senate, the other for the
house of representatives. 1t is curiously
illustrative of the growth of the country
that the chamber then devoted to the SEN
ate was so small that if the present senate
and its clerks and employees were to be
crowded into it there would be room neither
for spectators nor desks. But in proportions
and lines there are today no more beauti-
full, no more perfect halls in the world, GER
tainly none in legislative homes, than these
old halls of the senate and house, now used
for the supreme court and as hall of stat
uary respectively. To this day visitors
from all over the world are charmed with
these two apartments.
The great dome which now surmounts
the central building was not thought of by
the builders of the capitol. Its possibility
never entered their minds. They planned
a dome indeed, but it was small, almost q
trifiing affair About 1920 they connected
the two wings together by means of the
structure which still exists, this taking the
place of a low, cheap corridor which former
ly ran from one building to the other Aft
erward they put on their little dome, which
very well fitted in size and proportion the
building as it then was All this time the
country was growing and growing. The
ambitious young nation that had started the
construction of its lawmaking palace lit
orally in the woods found the forest and
the savage shifting their habitat far toward
the setting sun. More room was needed
for the legislative genius, swollen more by
numbers than by ability, which the ex-
panding land sent hither
Out of this necessity grew the present
wings. They were finished just at the close
of the war between the states, and when the
country became reunited the two new wings
were joined together in a fitting celebration
of the peace. Now the old dome was too |

lT is customary for English news
papers and magazines to sneer at
what they are pleased to term the
recklessness of American newspapers
in their statement of fact These
filings may be warranted in some in
stances, but no American newspaper
makes mistakes in geography which
could be avoided by looking into a
gazetteer or an atlas. The last num-
ber of the Pail Mall Budget, cheap,
popular illustrated London weekly,
speaking of the yacht Navahoe,
which has been participating in the
Cowes regatta, declares that 1.-The
name Navahoe is that of an Ameri-
can state. This is nothing unusual,
however, for the Budget, which a
few months ago announced that
Utah was the only one of the Ameri-
can estates" that had refused to is
sue paper money!

The beautiful city of Charleston
seems to have apportioned to it more
than an ordinary share of misfor-
tune. 1t is but few years since a
devastating earthquake so far laid it
waste that the generous people of the
whole nation came to its citizens re-
lief. And now the fearful cyclone
that swept upward from the Gulf,
carrying destruction along the At
lantic coast, seems to have spent its
utmost fury upon the same spot
Hundreds of lives and millions of
dollars have disappeared before the
breath of the storm, and again a
brave-hearted people must set to
work to repair their shattered for
tunes. Their injuries this time are
less severe and lasting. for the worst
of the tempest was concentrated upon
the shores and low-lying islands, dis
tant from the busy center of industry
and the store houses of capital.

HE DIDN'T KNOW.

The Woman Was Angry and the Train
Caller Nearly Lost His job.
Over $50 trains a day come into the
Grand Central depot, Philadelphia,
and the other afternoon, just when
business was heaviest and one of the
long suffering station attaches was
calling out the Sis express from
Albany, woman came up to him, her
whole figure life size interrogation
point.
''Do trains from Connecticut come
in here? she asked.
Eyes, madam" replied the station
man.
Express trains?"
"Yes, madam"
''All trains?"
"Yes, madam"
She cogitated moment and then
asked:
What time does the evening train
from-from-Oh, dear, I've forgotten
the name of the town, but it's in Con-
necticut, and seventeen trains day
stop there-you know the town /
mean. Now tell me when tn even
ing train from there comes in
But madam" mildly expostulated
the train caller, you haven't told
me"
"Yes, 1 have" interrupted the wo-
man.
But, madam, 1 don't know,
'Oh, that's it," she snapped; you
don't know. What are you here for
but to know when trains come imp
I'D be happy to tell you if"
'No such thing" snarled the now
thoroughly aroused woman; you
know, but you won't tell me. You're
an impertinent rascal and l shall re-
port you at once" which she pro-
ceeded to do.
Nothing came of it. but the unfor-
tunate man nearly lost his job because
he could not answer the impossible
quest ion Of silly, irritable woman.
