Story O the Crime.

Carlyle Harris the New York wife
murderer, who dies to-day, has prob
ably attracted more attention than
any other criminal for months.
The desperate fight for her boys
life made by his mother and the equal
ly desperate fight for his conviction
made by the murdered girls mother
has intensified the dramatic interest of
the trial to a wonderful degree. This
erect, handsome man of "a years has
an unenviable history. Born in
Glen Falls, n. Y, of fine
family, he lived with his mother
in Brooklyn after she separ-
ated from his father. Mrs Harris
was poor and Carlyle passed through
the stages of book-agent, clerk and
actor before he took up the study of
medicine at 10. In 1889 they went to
Ocean Grove, \. j., to live and there
he met Mary Helen Potts, the muir
dered girl She was pretty and he took
fancy 10 her Pretty girls were a
weakness of his and his reputation in
that direction was unsavory. The
girl mother refused to sanction their
engagement, as while in Ocean Grove
Harris ran a gambling house and sa-
loon. After the return to New York
Harris and Miss Potts We're secretly
married and in q little while he began
to neglect her. She was in delicate
condition and an operation was per-
formed to conceal her condition. after

lHE SURGEON GENERALLY.

lie to Serve Four Year

Able to Serve Four Years.
WASHINGTON, May s.-There is a
question whether DIR. A. L. Gihon, of
the Naval Medical Corps, will be Sc
lected as the head of that branch OF
the service, for which place he has of
late been quite frequently spoken of.
The President, who must appoint a
Surgeon-General in place of DR..
Browne, who goes upon the retired
list on May 10, is credited with an in
tention to give a coveted place to an
officer who does not retire so soon as
d.. Gihon and others who have been
mentioned as candidates.
If the President insists that the new
Surgeon General shall have period to
serve in the navy long enough to cover
a period of four years as chief of
bureau he will have to go down seven
officers before he finds one who will
not retire before 1897. The first officer
SO situated is DIR. c. j. Cleborne Of the
naval hospital at Chelsea, Mass. The
next is DR.. Michael Bradley OF the
medical examining board. Both Of
these have until 1900 to serve. Drs.
Bates, Wells, Bogert, Beardsley and
Wales, who are medical directors, re-
tire before Cleborne or Bradley.
The doctors who are by age likely to
serve longer than one term and who
are now mentioned in connection with
the surgeon generalship are Drs.
Bates, Kidder, Penrose and Bogert, as
well as Cleborne and Bradley.

WELCOME THE ORDER.

senators and congressman Tired OF
Hounding the President.
WASHINGTON, May s.-Ofhceseekers
the Presidents new order excluding
ofieseekers from his presence before
they generally consulted their Con-
gressmen. The furry of indigna-
ton which filled the air early to-
day has subsidized, The otticeseek-
ers are now raiding the heads of de-
partments and getting in their work
there. Democratic Senators and Rep
resentatives gen erauy express approval
OF the order. They say it affords them
great relief, as well as the President;
that from day to day the same men
have invaded the White House reiter-
ating arguments in their behalf and
that it had become monotonous. These
applicants tor appointments would in
sist upon having their Congressman &C
company them, hoping thereby to inn
press the PRESIDENT. Instead of pro-
voking Congressional indignation the
order is hailed as d measure OF positive
relief.
Representative Williams, of Illinois,
says that the order will not only spare
congressman from the necessity of
taking otfice-seekers along with them
when they call to recommend appoint
ments, but that it will afford the Pres
ident time to duly consider recommen-
dations submitted. Mr.. Williams does
not regard the order as excluding all
applicants, by any means. 1t is de-
signed to prevent the same persons
from continually crowding the execu-
tive rooms.
1t can be stated upon official author
ity from the Treasury that the ap-
pointment of Scott Wike as assistant
secretary has been definitely deter
mined on. The appointment may not
be officially announced for several
days.
The president to-day announced the
following appointments:
IL. w. Smith of Utah, to be associate
justice of the Supreme Court of the
Territory of Utah.
Everett B. Ellinwood of Arizona, to
be attorney of the United States for
the Territory of Arizona.
John s. McNeily of Mississippi,
United States marshal for the southern
district of Mississippi.
Nate M. Brigham of Utah, United
States marshal for the Territory of
Utah.
William M. Meade of Arizona,
United States marshal for the Terri
tory of Arizona.
