struction in cities is controlled by it,
not uniformly in the direction of SYM

of the elements Of sublimity, though
the builder cares less for that than for

MUSIC AND DRAMA.

When all is said there is certainly a
wonderful satisfaction when leaving a
theatre to feel that YOU have seen
something you can recall with delight;
TO have sen a story developed that has
excited your interest: you have laughed
uproarously at fun that happened nat
urally and which was not dragged in.
in such a senseless fashion as to be
an insult to your intelligence. Such
a play is Aunt Sally" The piot is
wholesome; the fun unceasing, the
songs new and catchy: the scenery SUI
perb; the clinnaxes thrilling and the
company one of the best comedy or
CARNATIONS on the road.-San Francis

what will be done, but it would seem
probable that if the work now under way
IN the development OF the properties
under Mr. Browns control continues to
be satisfactory there will be spur from
the Drummond & Phillpsburg Railroad
built from Stone Station to the mines;
but Of course this would probably be de-
termined by the character of the reduc-
tion works decided upon. One thing
seems certain, and that is, that some
where near the site of the old placer
mining town of Emme 'sburg another
and probably much more substantial and
prominent town will soon be established
and the very people who have been en-
deavoring as best they could to keep
capital out of the district by various
questionable methods will perhaps have
an opportunity to make money that they
hardly deserve.
Thus it is that St. Louis capital will
in all probability again reap a rich re-
ward for its investment in Granite

They Were Observed Enter
ing the Church.
Important Testimony Volunteered by
aWoman Eye Witness.
Has Remained Silent Because She OBJ
jected to Being Witness.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 16.-A local paper
says the last link in the chain OF evidence
against Theodore Durant has been dis
covered. A woman who lives across the
street from the Emanuel Church has re-
ported to the police that she saw Durant
and Blanche Lamont enter ths church at
4 O'Clock on April 3, the day of Miss La
mont's disappearance. The woman named
IS Mrs. L. Il. Leake, and she lives at 143
Bartlett street. She is 30 years OF age and
was member of the church for years. She
knew both Durant and Miss Lamont inti-
mately, and therefore cannot be mistaken
as TO their identity. She has remained
silent since the discovery OF the bodies OF
the two girls, because she did not wish to
undergo the annoyance of being a witness
in the case and did not consent to divulge
her information 10 the police until she
became convinced that ii was duty she
owed TO the State.
On April 3, Mrs. Leake sat at the win
dow of her residence nearly all the after
noon, looking for her daughter, whom
she expected TO arrive from San Mateo.
At o'clock she saw a couple come up the
street, one of whom she instantly recog-
nized as Durant but at first she was
puzzled over the identity of the girl. She
first thought that the young lady was
Lucille Turner, but as the couple came
nearer Mrs. Leake recognized the girl as
short school girls dress and carried some
school books The dress and books
were afterward found secreted in TIE
church. When the couple reached the
church gate, they stopped for a moment,
Durant opening the gate, and they
passed through. Mrs. Leake, from her
point of observation, was watching them
and when the girl stepped through the
gateway she said to herself, "What an
imprudent thing for her TO do" Mrs.
Leake knew nothing detrimental to Du-
"such an exemplary young man., but
knowing the fact, she thought it impru-
dent .or the girl TO go into the church
with him alone. She feared some one
might have seen them and make unpleas-
ant remarks. She imagined that they had
some errand in the church and expeose
in a few minutes they would come out.
She watched carefully, but the gate did
not open.

Now Searching the Municipal Court
Records for Several Years Back.
Names That VIII BE Stricken or the
Voting List.

Persons who dislike TO work, or think
about IL, during dog days had better not
read what follows, for il has TO do with
the work the Board of Canvassers and
Registration are doing and have planned
TO do during the next few weeks. BY the
time ii is done, il not before, the mem
bers may feel entitled to a vacation. They
will certainly be inclined TO take one. At
present, Chairman Blodgett states, they
are searching the Municipal court records
for several years back to get at the names
of those persons of full age who are
under guardianship. IL may not be gen.
orally known, but IL is unconstitutional
for such to vote and IL any are found
whose names are on the voting lists, they
Will be stricken off.
Later on comes an examination OF all
commitments during several years past,
by the various courts, for insanity. All
persons so committed whose names have
from the lists. Then in all proba bility all
convictions by the common pleas court
Tor term longer than one year will be
looked mp, going back several years also,
as persons so convicted cannot vote until
properly restored.
will give the board another tussle, and
then the property list, containing 10000
or more names will have to be revised
To see who may have died, sold his prop
erty, had foreclosure "sprung" on him,
or has lost his property through the
sheriff's interference.
Next comes the registry list OF nearly
IL, 600 names, which will have to be eS-
amined to see IL any have acquired prop
erty, In order TO place their names on the
property list.
The special election set down for Sep
tember %, 10 vote on the proposed con-
stltutional amendment, means a sand
wichlng In of considerable more labor.
There must be 10 canvass meetings i'm
the various ward rooms and final one to
prepare and make up lists, which are
liable 10 contain 1000 or 5000 changes.
There must be "A lists so prepared for the
clerks and supervisors aud If any political
organizations want lists, they must have
them.
Next year being presidential year, there
VIII probably be registration of 16. 600
names, to be attended to before January
j, which means an avearge OF 150 regis
trations per day, excluding Sundays and
holidays. OF course the bulk of this
work will come during the last month or
two; 1t always does.
The board has just finished laborious
undertaking, that of verifying the July
deaths. All reports of deaths which
come in from various sources have to be
carefully compared with the record kept
by the city registrar.
Last month II was found that the board
had kept good track of them and but one
name escaped their vigilance. That was
promptly stricken from the list. In May
and June, however, better luck attended
them and they found no name had been
overlooked.
The board has many other duties and
details to observe beside these special
ones, hence they rightly consider that
they earn their salaries.

A Remark That May Become
of National Interest.
Senator Washburn's Remark Uttered
in Private Conversation.
He Acknowledges What He Said and
Wants the Truth known.

MINNEAPoLIs, Aug 16. IA chance re-
mark uttered by Senator Washburn in
private conversation in New York threat
ems to become a matter OF national in
terest. The name of John Edward
Addicks became very familiar TO the
reading public during the last Senatorial
contest In Delaware, and il is alleged 1t
was due to him that the election of an
other Republican Senator to succeed
Senator Higgins of Delaware was de-
feated. This was discussed by Senator
Washburn upon his return TO this country
and he made use of an expression, which
was published in New York last Saturday,
TO the effect that a man like Addicks
should be killed. When the Senator re-
turned here, he acknowledged having
used such an expression. In response TO
this Senator Washburn received from
Philadelphia the following telegram:
Senator W. ID. Washburn:
KINDLY wire me the grounds upon
which you base your judgment that
should be killed.
"(Signed) j. EDWARD ADDIcKs." 4"
To this the following reply was sent:
"MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, Aug. 13 1895
81. Edward Addicks, Philsdelphis, Pa.
Telegram just received. Believing you
responsible for the defeat of Republican
Senator, expressed myself emphatically
as i did in New York as TO your action,
intimating, OF course, political rather
than physical punishment.
'(Signed) w. ID. WAsHBURN. F"
Senator Washburn, in speaking of the
incident, said that il he had known the
he would have preferred to have said
nothing, but now that it has gone TO the
extent It has. he proposes to have the
truth told
