Since time immemorial red hair has
been the object of ill-humored jokes
just why, no one seems to know, unless
it be that Judas 1scariot was thus
endowed. And yet, despite the popu-
lar prejudice against auburn locks.
there are few things more beautiful
than a woman with such hair.
Red-headed women have played
prominent parts in the worlds history
and have caused many a kingdom to
trembe and even TO fall. Helen OF
Troy, was red-haired. and she certain
ly caused trouble enough for one
woman. Catherine l, of Russia: Joan
of Arc; Elizabeth, of England; Mary
Stuart; Annie, of Austria; ex-Empress
Eugenie. Ninon de rEnclos, Lucretia
Borgia and Beatrice Cenci, all had red
hair, and all are famous.
Nevertheless 1t is a curious fact that
in all ages there has been aversion to
hair of this hue. Red has always been
considered the color of war and blood
shed, and the cruelest gods of savage
races have always been adorned with
red topknots.
The ancient Egyptians We're violent
ly opposed to red hair, and once a
year burned a maiden of this descrip-
ton in the hope of discriminating OF
lessennig what they considered a
curse.
In Spain red hair is abhorred on the
ground that It is Judas hair" Among
some savage races red hair Is held in
great esteem especially among some
of the Alaskan tribes
In New Zealand a red headed woman
Is considered as on the right road tc
Paradise.
students of red-hairology say that a
woman thus adorned is more cruel
brighter. more deceptive and more am
bilious than woman having other
colored hair Whatever truth there
| may be in this, it is n fact that red
haired women have strange fascina-
ton for most men and redheaded old
maids are almost unknown.-N. Y

McAllister was inspector of pro-
visions for Salt Lake City and in 1895
the City Council abolished the Office.
He brought suit to recover Sl,oSO back

held that appointment void in the case
of the People VS. McAllister on the
ground that no vacancy existed when
1t was made. Alma $. Kendall was held
to be the lawful incumbent of the office
and entitled to dicharge its duties and
receive the emoluments thereof, until

ton of his term, and in Kendall VS.
Raybould we held that,not having been
lawfully removed therefrom, said Ken

receive the emoluments thereof until
November Is, 1894, and granted him
writ of mandate to compel payment OF
the salary to him accordingly.

noyal of Kendall and right in the face
of this decision of the People VS. Nc
Allister, the Mayor and City Council

FAILED TO QUALIFY.
Number Of Election Judges Disqualified for
Not Complying With the Law.

on account of a number of election
judges not having qualified. In accord
ance with the law, City Recorder
Emery was unable today to deliver all
the ballots and election supplies.
Under the law one half of the official
ballots must be delivered to the judge
of one of the leading parties and the
other half to the judge of another
party; all supplies to be delivered by
IL o'clock noon of the day before cleo
tlon. The districts affected by the
failure of the Judges qualifying are: 16,
10, 20, 81, 3S and ii. In all the districts
with the exception of districts 81 and
16. the Democratic judge has failed to
qualify. while in district 81 no judge
has yet taken the oath of office, and
in district 10 the Republican judges are
responsible. The result of this will be
that the vacancies viii have to be filed
by at least six voters at the poles to-
morrow morning. Those thus chosen
must be Of the same political party
as those who failed to qualify. Mr.
Emery will see to It that the supplies
in these cases are on hand at the OPEN
ing of the polls.

KILLING OF BARRIER GER.

William Lewis who Did the Shooting to
be Tried for the Crimc-Win He BE
Convicted?
william Lewis, the man who walked
into d barber shop at Sandy in May,
1892, and shot the proprietor. james
A. Gier, will soon be released from the
state insane asylum and put on trial
for murder, at the next term of court,
which opens Tuesday week. The medl-
cal superintendent, DIR. Milton IL.
Hardy, says Lewis has now fully re-
covered his mental equilibrium and 1t
has been a question for some time
whether or not he is entitled to dis
charge. DIR. Hardy communicated
with Governor Wells who referred the
matter to Attorney General Bishop.
The latter gives 1t as his opinion that
Lewis should now be placed on trial
for the crime committed. Lewis was
charged by the September grand jury
of 1892 with murder and later COM
mitted to the asylum, as an insane
and irresponsible person, there to re-
main until he was legally discharged.
The statute provides that an
insane person may be tried
when he become sane. The cose, in
more than one respect, promises TO be
an interesting one. 1t is claimed that
no jury will convict Lewis because the
fact of his commital goes to show that
he was not in his right mind when he
committed the deed.
The people of Sandy say that for
several days prior to the shooting
Lewis had been drinking heavily and
had premeditated the killing of the
barber, and that his action since have
all been put on.
