Funds Are Low.

The extraordinary demands upon the
Judiciary Department for funds since
the last Legislature has quite depleted
the appropriation, until now no funds
are available. 1t is said the same con-
dition of affairs exists in the Attorney
Generals Department. Chester A.
Doyle was booked for Kauai yes
terday, and his failure to leave gave
support to the rumor of the scarcity of
funds. He was questioned about it last
night, but denied any knowledge of it,
adding that he always has enough mon
ey to get away on, if the department
had not. He stated that important bust
ness only had kept him in the city.

So many different styles of
oil stoves have been put on
the market during the past
ten years, that it was with
difficulty that the best could
be determined until the
Primus was introduced a
year ago. This style burns
a kerosene vapor and is nom
explosive; yon can turn it
upside down and no danger
will result.
The oil tank cannot be fill
ed while burning as the re-
moval of the filler cap ex-
tinguisheS the flame in
stantly. In point of simpli-
city it has no equal for it has
no wick, burns any grade of
kerosene and the flame can
be regulated. 1t produces a
heat of from 2,Ioo deg. to
1900 deg. Fair. and consumes
one quart of oil in five hours
consecutive burning. This
means an expense of cents
per hour. Nothing but solid
brass is used in the manu-
facture of the Primus, and
when in operation it is abso-
lutely odorleSS. 1t will bring
a quart Of water to boiling in
3 minutes.

conviction and execution OF the murderer.
The still more famous Cronin murder in
Chicago, the result. it was believed of
suspicious by the Cian-na-Gael as TO the.
integrity OF one of its members. was al
most wholly brought to light through the
efforts of the newspaper men Of that city.

Many other cases there are in which the
newspaper aid rendered to the police has
been beyond value. The papers them
selves are of service in all cases in which
mystery enters ever so slightly through
the wide publication of the known facts
and the stimulation thereby of a general
interest which often results in the dis

Of value are thus found, clues are devei-
oped and in the end the police are given
aid that could not be duplicated by any
other agency. In the New York case the
identification of the mutilated body, upon
which the whole case of course hinged,
was made possible almost exclusively Ivy
the newspapers. The journal seems to
have led the procession, and for the good
work it has done in this affair it is being
highly coEplimented by police officials

Hot Weather Canton.

The advent of hot weather brings with il
the usual crop of heat prostrations, caused
in many instances, by individual indiffer-
e!ce to the ordinary precautions against
such misfortune. To some natures of
course, the heat Is overpowering despite
all care, hut to a majority of persons II is
possible to avert sunstroke through the OBJ
servance of few simple rules that have
been repeated SO often that their reitera-
ton now is superfiuous. The main princi-
pie of midsummer caution is the avoidance
OF all excitement and unusual exertion
especially when exposed to the direct rays
of the sun. There should be comparattyelv
few cases of heat exhaustion in a city like
Washington. with its miles of shade trees
and its large expanse of parking. The
asphalt payements, to be sure tend to con-
centrate the heat at about two o'clock in
the afternoon of hot days, but there are
few persons who cannot manage to reduce
to a n minimum the necessities for exposed
labor. Others who are forced to take the
risk of prostration should, above all things
be temperate in the use of drinks of all
kinds. 1t is easier to advise abstention
