A bill has been introduced in Con-

A bill has been introduced in Con-
gress praying for an appropriation to
build the President a new house. 1t
is claimed that the present residence
is more of a department for routine
business than private home, and that
the President is constantly annoyed
by the coming and going of clerks at
all times of the day, whose offices are,
for lack of more suitable and conven-
lent rooms, in what.should be the. Pres
idents private sanctum. This is not the
first time an attempt has been made to
to provide the President and his family
with strictly private home. 1t is ar
gued that no business man of to-day
would consent to have his office in his
family dwelling and that it swrong to
compel the President of the United
State to submit to domestic annoy
ances and inconvenience that the or
binary business man would not toler-
ate. All this may be true, but would
it not be just as well to select some
more convenient and suitable time to
ask for an appropriation for purpose
in which vanity and luxury are osten-
sible features. It is an exhibition of
extravaganza and prodigality that
would i'll become the Congress at this
time to subject the already almost
depleted Treasury to an additional
drain of several hundred thousand
dollars, in order to facilitate the do
nestle felicity of the most ungrateful
President this country has ever known.

SENATOR FOLEY'S SLAYER
DOOMED TO ELEVEN YEARS
In PRISON.
She Is Admitted to Bail In the sum
of S25, 900 Pending an Appeal
to the Supreme Court.

RENO, New, Jan. 12.-Mrs Alice
M. Hartley, the woman who killed
Senator M. D. Foley last July, was
yesterday sentenced to II years in the
State Prison. In the afternoon Judge
Cheney decided to admit the woman
to bail and placed the sum at $25, 600
pending an appeal to the Supreme
Court, which her lawyers said would
be made.
The sentence was heavier than was
expected, as it was thought by many
that Judge Cheney would not deny
the motion for a new trial which was
pending.
Mrs Hartley came into court attir-
ed in black, nurse accompanied her
bearing her two months old baby.
Mrs. Hartley looked pale and showed
plainly the marks of illness and the
terrible ordeal through which she
passed. Although many expressions
Of sympathy for the woman ara ex-
pressed here, the general opinion is
that justice has been done.
The bond furnished by Mrs. Hart
ley must be approved by the Court,
although she has many Influential and
wealthy friends it is thought that the
bond will not be furnished.

A GRITTY JUDGE.
He fOrcibly resents an Insult.

Last week the Supreme Court rem
dered decision in the case of j.
Guinan versus J. P. Meder ct al, by
which Guinan lost the case. The case
was contest instituted by Guinan to
hold the position of school trustee of
District No. /, claiming that the Dis
trict Attorney, who is ex-officio Sup
lntendent of Schools, had appointed
him long term trustee in January 1893,
when there was doubt as to the va
lidity of the preceding election. The
certificate Of that appointment. reads
as follows: 81 .......... 4, do here
by appoint James Guinan School
Trustee for School District No. II.
Inasmuch as the certificate did not
specify the term of Office, it was held
invalid and consequently did not er-
title him to the position. The opin-
ion was by Judge Bigelow. Judges
Belknap and Murphy concurring.
Yesterday afternoon as Judge Bige-
low was returning to his office he was
met by DR.. Guinan, who las near as
we could learn accused the Judge of
having rendered and unjust decision.
Judge Bigelow resented the insult and
intimated that neither Guinan nor any
body else could intimidate him or
cause him to swerve from the right.
Guinan then struck the Judge sting
ing blow in the face. Although the
physical is double the size of the
Judge, the latter never stopped for
that, but sailed in, dealing blows with
rapidity and ferceness that surpris-
ed his burly opponent. Friends quick
ly interfered and prevented further
trouble.
Judge Bigelow's decisions have new
er before been questioned even by his
bitterest enemies.
