A POLITICAL MURDER.
Result Of An Axnsuraa.e Sui, Grow
ing Ont Of An lAssassinnti0n
in California.

San Francisco, Feb. 10.-Ths jury in
the case of Mrs. Louis B. McWhlrter
against the Connecticut Mutual Life In
surance company, last night brought in a
verdict awarding Mrs. MoWhirter $4,000,
the full amount Of the life insurance held
by her husband. year ago last August,
McWhirter, prominent lawyer, of Fres-
no, was called into his back yard at 3
O'Clock in the morning and shot and
killed. He held policies in four com
panies aggregating $4,000. All the
companies except the Connecticut Mu-
tual Life paid. The latter claimed that
McWhlrter committed suicide and re-
fused to pay. McWhirter was promi-
nent Democrat and was engaged in
very bitter local political fight at the
time of his death. McWhirter's friends
say he was murdered because of his poll
tics and the bitter feeling between poll
ticians in Fresno
Some time after McWhirttr's death
Richard Heath, son of Gen. Heath, one
of the best known men in the state, was
arrested on the charge of being the mur-
derer. The jury disagreed and Heath
was released on $4,000 bail. His second
trial is set for February IA, but the case
will probably be delayed, owing to an
appeal to the supreme court for change
of venue.

LONG AND SHORT HAUL.
The Governments Biii from the san
ta Fe and Southern Pacific.

Washington, Feb. 10.-An early deci
sion is expected from Second Comptrol-
ler Mansur OH the question now before
him concerning the application of the
long and short haul clause of the inter
state commerce act to govern freight
shipments on the transcontinental rail
roads. The specific cases now before the
comptroller ainvolve~ shipments for the
army between interior parts of the United
States, for which greater proportionate
charge was made than on similar ship
ments to the Pacific coast, the difference,
as alleged by the companies, being on
account of the water competition, which
is favorable to coast cities.
The railroad companies involved in the
present cases are the Southern Pacific
and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
roads. The accounts for freight shipment
come before the second comptroller be-
fore they are finally allowed by the treas
ury department. The comptroller has
heard several arguments on the question
by the attorneys of the roads in interest,
who have held that the long and short
haul clauses of the act were as appli-
cable to the government as to individuals,
sub ject only to the limitations that the
rates must be fair and reasonable.

A Long Land Contest.

The commissioner of the general land
Office has Just remanded for new trial an
old case involving n valuable quarter
section in San Miguel county, east of the
Pecos Park. The tract was settled on by
Jose Ignacio Martinez in 1885, and con-
test affidavit filed by Antonio Salazar
three years later, his attorney being Mr.
T. B. Mills. From then on the lawyers
have kept the pot boiling. In the con-
test which followed Mr.. Martinez was
represented by Mr.. B. NJ. Read, of this
city. The register and receiver, then
Judge Walker and Lee Knapp, sent on to
Washington decision in favor of the
contestee, Martinez. The next four years,
the entire term Of Messrs. Morrison and
Berger, were consumed in filing appeals,

CRISIS In SILVER.
lndia's Rupee Paper Continues to
Tumbie-A Big storm Erew-
ing Abroad.

London, Feb. 1O.-The silver market
seems to be completely dem oralized. The
tone of the market is once more upward
however. The Associated Press in an inter-
view with high official of the India Office
was told that the government did not
contemplate any further silver legislation
at present. In conclusion the India Of
flee official made the following significant
statement: Speculation in which Amer
lea is interested which is sending silver
to the Indian markets will probably re-
suit in some heavy failures before long"
Rupee paper fell to 81 1.2, the lowest
on record.
Calcutta.-The bank of Bengal has
raised its rate of discount froms to per,
cent and the bark of i; Dmbay .ass raised
its rate of discount from to per cent.
Both banks tako this action on account
of the silver crisis.
INDIA MAKES DEMAND.
Calcutta.-The Times of India severely
condemns the policy of the Earl of Kim
berly, secretary of state for India, saying:
"a decline of 3la pence in exchange
will result before the end of the year in a
loss of PIG lakhs of rupes. Thus to sell
4s lakhs of rupes the Earl of Kimberly
has thrown away PIG lakhs. The whole
question must be dealt with by parlia-
ment directly it assemblies. 1t ia scan

He Wants to BE Saved from His Friends.
"Why do | keep my proposed trip to
Europe SO secret?' repeated a man whose
circle of friends is larger than common
to a person who had asked him the ques-
ton. "Well, to tell the truth, because
| want to escape being made a purchas-
ing agent for a dozen or two Of people
whom l know. Whenever they learn
that | am about to 90 abroad they over
whelln me with commissions of all
kinds. One man wants a photograph Of
a certain tower of the castle at Heidel-
berg; another wants a peculiar kind of a
match-safe, which may be bought at a
certain shop in Paris; still a third is anx-
ious to have a few London neckties, and
others want umbrellas, sticks, opera
glasses, cigar holders, jewels or ONE
thing else.
Its a nuisance in the first place to
buy these things, especially as you are
likely to be in a hurry at times. Then
when you arrive back in New York you
are likely to have trouble with the GUS
toms officials, because your friends al
ways expect you to get their articles in
duty free. Besides, no one ever pays
you in advance, and you have to go
around dunning the people. To cap the
climax, you often buy things that donot
suit the persons who have asked the ia
vor of you, and their disappointed looks
or words make you feel unpleasant, to
say the least. Consequently, having
been through these experiences several
times, l now keep my intended depart
ure as secret as possible, New York

Through cuttings white and marshes

Through black plantations, grim and dead,
And forest giants darby sere.
The landscape fed and passed below.
And gazing still, we saw no more

So sternly from the icy earth,

A forest tangle, and once more
A long and stainless slope Of snow.

In hopeless mourning for an age
So distant now, its records cat
But mystery on earth's dim page.
They seemed as frowning on the eye
That a~rrogantly dared to read

Too passionless to stop to hate,
That anything Of mortal born
Should dare one thought to penetrate.

Still watching from their fortress white

''HER LADIES.

Catarrh of the ears and catarrh of the
Eustachian tubes often cause deafness.
Catarrh of the stomach loads the stomach
with tough phlegm and interferes with
digestion. Catarrh of the gall bladder
obstructs the outflow of the bile, which
is absorbed into the circulation, and thus
gives rise to jaundice. Catarrh of the
bladder is a dangerous disease, from the
difficulty of getting rid of the mucus.

Preference of cannibals for Cinnamon.

The black cannibals Of northern
Queensland are exceedingly partial to
Cinnamon. The reason is said to be that
the flesh of the Chinese is peculiarly
tender and palatable, owing to rice being
their staple article of diet. There is now
a numerous Chinese population in the
north of Australia, and scores of them
who have ventured beyond the confines
of civilization have been captured and
devoured by the natives. This explains
the nonchalance with which the northern
Queensland surveyor recently reported
in these terms to the government: The
blacks have stolen all my provisions and
sampled two of my Chinamen."-Lon-
don Tit-Bits.
