THE SUGAR BOUNTY CLAIMS.
The Comptroller Has the Right to Decide
Constitutional OmestIons.

Assistant Acknowledgement Dodge, who
represents the government in all cases
before the United States Court of Claims,
is taking some interest in the question
raised by Comptroller Bowler as to the
constitutionality of the act making an
appropriation of $23S 900 in liquidation of
claims for bounty ON sugar manufactured
during the season of 1873.
Mr. Dodge declined to discuss the ques-
ton of the constitutionality of the act,
but he had no doubt whatever that the
comptroller had a perfect right under the
law to raise the question and pass upon
it in accordance with his own interpreted
ton of the constitution. Mr.. Bowler, he
commended, was an executive officer of the
government, and as such was charged
under the law with the Interpretation of
the acts of Congress, especially when no
construction had been placed upon them
by the courts. The United states Court
of Appeals for the District of Columbia
had decided that the act of 1890. granting
a bounty on sugar, was unconstitutional,
The question now before Mr.. Bowler,
while not identical, was thought to in
volve the same general principle, and
under the circumstances Mr.. Bowler
properly, he thought, had decided to raise
the question and decide it.
The people, Mr.. Dodge said. by degrees
had come to believe that only the high
courts of the country We're competent UNI
der the law to pass upon the constitution
ality of Congressional acts; yet this. it
was declared, was a mistaken belief. The
remark of President Andrew Jackson when
the United States bank act was under
discussion was recalled in this connection,
Jackson said that he took an oath to sup
port the constitution as he understood it,
and not as Chief Justice Marshall might
understand it, The right of the comp
trOller of the treasury to pass upon GER
tain constitutional questions, Mr., Dodge
said, was never doubted in the earlier days.
When the office of comptroller was ere
ated in 1883 it was suggested in Congress
by Mr. Madison to make the office life
position, in order that he might be indie
pendent of any consideration other than
that of duty, as his duties were more
judicial than executive. While the right
is now rarely exercised, Mr.. Dodge had
no doubt that the comptroller had "a legal
right to COnstruc as to their constitution
ally all acts of Congress carrying appro-
priations, and his decisions on this point
must stand, subject only to the disap-
prevail of the courts of the United
States.-Washingto Post.

MARRIAGE A SPECULATION.

"Of course the chief objection to mar
rage" Stuart said, 'is the old one that
you can't tell anything about it until you
are committed to it forever. 1t is "A very
silly thing to discuss even, because there
is no way of bringing it about, but there
really should be some sort of a prelimin-
airy trial. Men go gayly off and get mar
ried, and make the most awful promises.
and alter their whole order Of life and
risk the happiness of some lovely creature
on trust, as it We're, knowing absolutely
nothing of the new conditions and respon-
shllities of the life before them. Even "A
river pilot has to serve an apprenticeship
before he gets license, and yet We are
allowed to take just as great risks, and
only because We want to take them. It's
awful, and it's all wrong.
A young man runs two chances Of mar
rying the wrong woman. He marres her
because she is beautiful, and because he
persuadcs himself that every other loNable
attribute must be associated with such
beauty, or because she is in love with
him. If this latter is the case, she gives
certain values to what he thinks and TO
what he says which no other woman
gives, and SO he observes to himself,
This is the woman who best under
stands me"
You can reverse this and say that
young women run the same risks, but as
men are seldom beautiful, the first danger
is eliminated. Women still marry men,
however, because they are loved by them,
and in time the woman grows to depend
upon this love and to need it, and is not
content without it, and so she consents TO
marry the man for no other reason than
because he cares for hcr-From Miss

ABOVE THE SMOKE.
A Clear Days Disclosures on Famous
Mount Mansfield,
the Editor of the Free Press:

Summit House, Mt. Mansfield, July. 1899.
You must have clear day for Mt.
Mansfield. Such is the unwritten law
and thus runs the tradition. But take the
experience of one who has heretofore
always believed that tradition when say
it is not all lost time and money even
if you chance to come on a smoky day.
The wsest and most far-seeing men
(and women cannot always prophesy cor
reCtiy concerning the weather, and though
il may-promise clear and fair when you
start on a 20-mile drive to the foot
Of the mountain on the Stowe side, il
may be dim and smoky when you reach
that point, and DINNER and smoker yet
when, after the fve-mile climb of your
good horses, up, up, from glory to
glory" you land at last at the Summit
House. Such was our experience of yes
tcrday.
Ten years ago when we were here we
found the mountain road rough, especially
near the top and diversified with lodges,
so it needed a skillful driver to take
n team up and down the mountain. Now
the road is in such good order and the
Lodges have somehow been 50 disposed of
that any lady accustomed to driving can
20 up and down as safely on an ordi-
nary country hill road.
The country below us was wrapped i'm
a blue veil of smoke, but We were above

Chin doomed up clear and rugged as ever.
We walked out there IN the glorious
afternoon, every step a revelation of new
beauty and wonder, and disappointing as
il was not to be able to see the country
from Lake Champlain with it's Adirondack
background to the White Mountains, the
picture of the smoke-wrapped world below
us, range after range of blue hills, was
something unique and ever to be remem-
bered.
AS the sun lowered CLEAN of glory
came up In the west and we knew II
was the lake. For an hour or more we
saw it plainly, the sun turning its surface
to a sheet of red gold, cut in twain by
the long line of the Sandbar bridge. be-
yond which we dimly saw the islands.

without going out. The country below us
was like blue print when the mountain
thrush sang to us in the early dawn
and we sat by the window and watched
| for the sun. The sky above was pink
then crimson, then the tiny floating clouds
turned to fakes of gold, and up over the
unseen peaks of the White Mountains
suddenly rolls the great red ball of fire
so yelled in smoke that we could look

MAY GO TO CANADA.
But Extradition Is Very Dimcult-uard
Fight May Follow.

Philadelphia, July 25.-Owing to the YER
diet of the Toronto coroner's jury charg-
ing Holmes with the murder of the two
Pietzel children. the chances are row al
most bevond doubt that Holmes will be
taken to Canada to stand trial for the
murders.
1t is stated that it will require at least
two months to effect the eXtradition of the
accused.
Attorney Shoemaker, who represents
Holmes, to-day declared that his client
was not afraid to face any charge the
Canadian authorities had to make. The
district attorney, said he should proceed
slowly I'm this matter or the result will be
that he will not hold Holmes on even the
charge of conspiracy to which he pleaded
guilty and is now awaiting sentence. The
process Of extradtion Is Just as difficult
from the Canadian jurisdiction as it is
from that of the United States If the
Toronto authorities fail there may he a
fight before the man is returned to that
city.

KILLED MRS. CONNOR.


Chicago, July 26.-Col. Jonathan L. Bel
KNAPP. the great uncle Of the Milmette
wife of Holmes who resided for many
years at Big Foot Prairie Ills, has made
81 statement to the effect that Mrs. Julia
J.. Conner was killed by Holmes i'm the
Englowood building four and half years
ago.
Her room was a small dark one, adjoin-
ing dark bath room. Col. Belknap' s
theory is that Holmes entered the
woman's room by a secret door from the

gas, and carried her body to the bath tub.

process of cremation was complete Holmes
carried the bones and ashes to the cellar
and buried them in quick lime.
Col. Belknap was one of the men whom
Holmes tried to victmize. Holmes got a
loan of $1,000, which was never repaid.
The colonel states that he and his wife
spent Christmas with Holmes and Mrs.
Connor; that he helped Holmes to carry
the stove through the secret door into the
bath room adjoining Mrs. Connor's room,

Tho Historic Pine Cut Down Presidential
Chair VIII BIO Nado From a part of II.

The old Dartmouth pine tree one of the
oldest and most historic emblcms of
Dartmouth college has been cut down.
1t was one of those relics so intimately
associated with Dartmouth as to be sacred
to every man ever within her halls. The
old tree had resisted the fury of the storms
and winds for over a century. Twice it
was struck by lightning In 1892 a tornado
made havoc with it One main limb was
severed and the trunk badly damaged, but
every means Of preservation was adopted
and it has stood until the present time
Last Spring it died.
The ancient tree was seventeen feet
high, and, by the rings, approximately 125
years Old. Legend has it that three In
dams graduating from Dartmouth long
ago set out the tree as a memorial pine
a hymn was composed by them, which is
still famous, when SHAH We Three Meet
Again." For as long as memory serves
each year graduating classes have held
class exercises around it,
1t will be sawed into timber and presi-
dents chair and mantel for Butterfield
Hall will be made from it. The remainder
will become souvenirs.

suddenly disappear What Holmes did
with the women, of course she could not
say.
Holmes murdered his victims by asphyx-
iation or speedy suffocaton. The police
have found the key to the steel dummy
vault which stood in his office, the purpose
of which has never been satisfactorily
explained heretofore. In the steel vault,
whose doors opened into the private Office
of Holmes, there is the imprint of two
human feet-those of an adult-outlined
In the dust. Assistant Chief of Police
Ross has theory. In discussing the dis
appearance Of Miss Cigrand he said:
"Holmcs owed her money as he did
all of his employees. She came into the
office to receive her pay. She was to be
married and she was going away. Holmes
said to her casually: Step into the vault
and get my check book
THE vault was but a steel box, whose
interior she had never seen. The outer
door stood partly open. Beyond it she
could see two closed steel doors. She
must pull these open to find the check
book behind them. She stepped in.
Holmes, quicker than a cat, sprung the
heavy door behind her, the combination
twirled ana she was lost forever"
The steel tomb was practically air
tight. With the door closed death from

sible Crematory-T Toronto Authori-
ties Want Him up There.

Chicago. July PA. II. Jones. who pur-
chased a drug store from Holmes, is posi-
tive that Holmes is guilty of numbering
the Williams sisters and insists that he
alo ended the life of Kate Durkey, Il
young woman who was for a time his
slave. The girl had her life insured. Mr..
Jones to-day said: Holmes was digging
in that cellar day and night and | now
think he was burying the bodies of those
he had slaughtered"
Mrs. Quinan, one of the former ianitors
of the Holmes building to-day stated that
young lady named Cigrane who lived
with Holmes Just before the Williams
girls, and who came to Chicago from In
diana, had mysteriously disappeared
Tho SearcherS in the Holmes castle to-
day found shoulder bone, which detec-
tives believe is a part of an adults body ::
and socket bone, supposed to be part of
the remains of a child, a portion of a
dress was also found. The remains of Il
furnace that was possibly used by Holme
as a Crematory was unearthed in the cellar
this morning. Near it was a large heap
of ashes which are being sifted The man
who built the furnace says that Holmes
maintained great secrecy concerning its
construction and said it was to be used
in his gas manufacturing experiments
AS no attempt was ever made to make
gas, this story was clearly a fabrication.
The furnace had an air tight receptacle in
which could be generated heat 24C0 de-

at rapid pace Nothing like has been
known in the previous history of the city.
/ "What is the reason?" The question is
answered by the Free Press of that city
in y way that may bo instructive to other
places that We might mention. Burline
ton, the Free Press says, enjoys natural
advantages and attractions to a large
degree, as is quite true. but certainly no
more so tnan Brattlcboro at least many
other towns of the state. But the Free
Press says the possession of these "alone
would not account for the era OF rapid
development which we are enjoying. one
influence that is helping Burlington is the
feeling that has resulted from the loss Of

strangers would very naturally take our
own people at their word and stay away.

there has been a marked change for the
