has been called 1.-THE tree of 10000 pic,
lures" Travellers have related thu,
on each leaf of this sacred tree. On the
branches and all over the trunk, ar,
letters Of the Thibetan alphabet or re
ligiOus pictures; 1t was even asserted
only short time ago that large sum
OF money had been offered for cutting
from this marvellous tree by travele,
who had seen It,
BOtanists have smiled mt and ridi
culed the existence OF such tree, only
to he met with the assurance that il
had been seen. At last the truth has
been made known by Buddhist con
vert to Christianity.
In the village Of louisa Ii mona 3
terry of 1900 lamas or Buddhist priests
TO support these priests considerable
sum of money Ii required, 80 at som,
far-Off time the idea of this tree wa,

H. X. RICHARDSON IS SENTENCED
BY JUDGE WILLIS FOR
LARCENY.
MOTION FOR A NEW TRIAL
ARGUED BY MIR. HALL-PENITEN-
TIARY ON THE REFORMATORY
PLAN.
TO REFORM RATHER THAN PUNISH
The Court Said, in Passing Sentence,
Was the Purpose of the
Law.

Judge Willis yesterday oyerruled the mo-
ton for new trial for H. K Richardson,
secretary and manager of the Snow-Church
company. who was recently convicted Of
grand larceny in the first degree, and sentenc-
ed him to the penitentiary on the reforma-
tory plan. The first motion being based
on a notice that the court considered disre-
spectful, time was given until yesterday for
the Hing Of a new notice. The result was a
very gentlemanly notice yesterday in which
were enumerated thirty-two errors the de-
sendant's counsel claimed the court had
made in its rulings in the trial. The principal
OF these was the exclusion of testimony going
to show the condition of the business previ-
Gus to the time Richardson took hold of it,
the object of the testimony being to prove
that 1t had been the custom to misapply the
money collected for clients. The motion was
argued by Attorney Hall, Mr.. Durment TAX
Ing no part in the proceedings.
The county attorney had but little to say
In reply, simply remarking that the argu-
mcnt of the attorney for the defense fell Of
its own weight.
In passing sentence. Judge Willis made a
few remarks commenting ON the sad nature
of the case. He said it was the purpose of the
law to reform, rather than punish, persons
convicted of crime in cases where the indi-
vidual showed a capacity for reformation
He thought that was the case in this in
stance, and he would, therefore, give the
young man chance by sending him to the
penitentiary on the reformatory plan.

George Connell's overwhelming desire for a
new suit of clothes was the cause of his being
locked up at the central police station last
night on the charge of larceny.
Connell made the acquaintance of William
Smith in West Seventh street saloon and
after several rounds of drinks, persuaded his
new-found friend to allow him to try on suit
OF clothes which he had purchased and had
wrapped up under his arm. Smith thought 1t
good opportunity to see how his new suit
would look in active service, and the men re-
tired to a back room, where Connell donned
the suit. Another round Of drinks were or
dered while waiting Connell stepped to the
door to see friend. He never came back,
and officer Casey, who was informed of the
theft by Smith, placed him under arrest at

only the names of the ,aldermanic candidates

that in the Sixth ward an additional Justice
Of the peace and constable are voted for
and in the Tenth and Eleventh wards an ad-
ditional justice of the peace.
While the foregoing represents the city
clerks original draft Of the ballot, the pos
sibilties are that the whole ticket labeled
Democrat will be stricken from the ballot
by the courts, in consequence of the illegal
methods employed by certain members of the
Democratic city committee.

The matter of the paving of Sixth street
from Summit avenue to Smith avenue will
come before the board of public works this
week. 1t is understood that it was the inteu-
tion of the board to pave the street its full
width with granite, to which the bicyclists
filed demurrer. Sixth street is the thor
oughfare which is climbed by nearly all the
wheelmen who live on the hill and they yery
properly object to granite. They favor paving
the center of the street with granite. but
want five feet of asphalt on each side as a.
cycle path. They claim, with reason. that
granite is too rough to wheel over, and, be-
sides firing riders, would be likely to rack or
puncture their machines
