Historians are constantly reminding
people that there Is scarcely foot Of
soil owned In England now by the de-
scendants of the Norman conquerors,
all the property having gradually come
again into the possession Of the Sax
ons, who originally owned 1t. One Of
the rare exceptions to this state Of
things is Trafford Park, which until a
year ago remained In the possession Of
the same family which has held 1t for
over eight hundred years, the Traf-
fords Of Trafford. Randolph, Lord Of
Trafford, who lived in the reigns Of
Canute and Edward the Confessor, dy-
ing about 1850, was the head of this
ancient house, which for 800 years has
enjoyed an unbroken line of male sue
cessors, and whose land has not suffer-
ed alienation during all the changes Of
this time. The old place Is one Of the
most romantic and picturesque spots in
all England, and, lying as II does just
without the city Of Manchester, 1t Is
greatly admired by visitors. There are
nearly 1000 acres In the estate. The
hall will shortly be turned into hotel
and the grounds converted into parks.
golf links, race courses, etc. A con-
siderable portion of the fine old land
will be devoted to shipping, as 1t lies
along canals connecting directly with
the ocean. 1t was only last year that
the estate passed from the hands Of
its old-time owners into the possession
of a company, which is dividing 1t up
and selling 1t to various purchasers.

Italy's next queen will be the most
remarkable woman ruler In the modern
history of the world. She has the cour-
age Of lion, the physique Of an ANA
zon, the spirit of Joan dare. She is
perfectly at home in the saddle, and Is
an expert with the rifle. The princess,
moreover, takes keen delight in shoot
ing birds with n revolver, and so great
IL her skill with that weapon that even
the smallest animal falls an easy prey
to her unerring aim. The number of
languages with which she is thoroughly
conversant Is half a dozen, and she
knows the political intricacies Of Eu-
rope as well rs prime minister.
Though lover of the wild and fero-
cious, she has enough intelligence and
training to make her finished woman
Of the world.

Speculative Mania Possesses the
American People.
Every time q cashier takes passage
for Canada or for that more distant
bourn whence there can never be, In
Shakspeare's opinion, any extradition
and the friends he leave behind him
find that his books will not balance the
chances are about hundred to one
that some kind Of speculation" as 1t
has come to be denominated, has been
at the bottom Of 1t. A few days ago a
circle of callow youths In Indianapolis
We're found to be jointly, engaged In
taking flyers" on the stock market
and, since the little capital they owned
was soon exhausted, they resorted to
surreptitlously borrowing the money Of
their employers.
The city or county treasurer who
falls short of making both ends meet
commonly gets into the tangle by rea-
son of loans from "the crib" to his po-
litical friends, but even such cases are
not always free from the mania for
speculation.
If 1t shall prove that the university
funds, some part of which II Is now
feared is lost, have actually disap-
peared the chances are that Ii will also
prove to be because somebody has been
specializing and needed more money
than his or their own to keep margins
good.
Most of this has to be done, Of course,

would never do for grave, conservative
bank cashiers or the treasurers Of
municipal or other public corporations
to be heard shouting frantically In any
kind Of bourse, whether of the So
called bucket or Of larger dimensions.
The other day one of these agencies
which profess to aid others in convert
ing nothing into something overreached
itself In New York and fell down,
doubtless carrying with 1t more or
less long row of patrons. How many
there are of these latter does not yet
appear, but the interesting part of this
transaction lies in the fact that the
agency itself appears to be as elusive
as flea. 1t was at first said that the
principal we., a woman whose identity
could not be established. Later it was
said that even this fem'Sine suspicion
had faded like ghost Mt cock crow.
A shrewd Frenchman once said that
whenever n crime was committed the
OBVIOUS thing to do was to seek for the
woman at the bottom. But in nearly
all crime. Of this class in this country
the thi-g to be first done is to seek for
the speculation which was the tempta-
ton.
The prolsem arising out Of this Is
grave one for civil and for criminal
administration. The moral error con-
sists in Identifying as legitimate bust
ness that kind of speculation which is
really nothing more than gambling.
There is kind of speculation and n
way of conducting it which is entirely
legitimate and honorable, but that
which POUNDS its only hope of gain for
one man on the equal and certain loss
of another is neither
1t may not wholly stop this kind of
so-called business to relentlessly punish
all who are detected in it, but it would
certainly check it, and how to attain
that end may better employ the in
genuity of our legislators than much of

their time and the peoples money

DISTRICT ATTORNEY JONES
KILLED BY A BULLET THROUGH
THE HEAD
A Nevada Official Pays the Penalty
of Ignoring a Fathers Repeated
Warnings
Associated Press Special Wire.

Associated Press Special Wire.
CARSON, New, Nov. 9.-The entire
state of Nevada has been startled and
shocked at the murder late this after
noon of Charles A. Jones, United States
district attorney by Julian Guinan, the
16-year-old son of a well-known local
physician.
The prominence of all connected with
the affair, the peculiar circumstances
and the suddenness of the tragedy, make
it one of the most sensational happen
ings in the history of Nevada.
Jones death was caused by bullet
wound in the head and for a time mys-
terry surrounded every circumstance
connected with the killing. At first it
was supposed that Jones had committed
suicide, but no weapon being found in
his possession nor near the scene of the
shooting, it became evident that his
death had been caused by another, and
an hour later young Guinan voluntarily
surrendered himself at the sheriff's Of
flee and confessed to the homicide.
The statement of the youth, who is
now in Jail, is to the effect that immedi-
ately prior to the shooting he had OBJ
served his sister talking to Jones, with
whom his father had forbidden associa
ton, when he saw DR.. Guinan approach
ing. Believing trouble to be inevitable
when the two men should meet, the bov
procured Winchester rifle and station.
1t, co.. ft,av
as he says, of protecting his father.
Upon encountering Jones, DR.. Guinan
said to him: This is the last time shall
ever warn you against keeping company
with my daughter"
Jones jeered at the doctor in comment
upon this warning, and slipped his hand
into his right pocket. Julian states that
having often heard his father threaten
to kill Jones, and having been informed
that the district attorney always carried
a revolver, which he believed from
Jones' motions was about to be drawn.
the boy fired at Jones in anticipation Of
an attack upon his father.
Jones fell forward, dead. The bullet
from the rifle entered above his right
eye and passed out at the neck behind.
Miss Guinan seeing Jones fall threw
herself upon him and embraced the dead
body.
When the coroner took charge Of the
remains, Jones' hand was still in his
pocket, but no weapon was found.
The dead attorney was about SO years
of age, married. and leaves widow and
child at his home in Reno, New. whence
he came this morning on official busi-
ness. He was necessarily at Carson
much of the time, and while here his
attentions to Miss Guinan occasioned
so much talk that DR.. Guinan had been
aggravated into making threats against
Jones, which indirectly led to the lat
ter's murder by the doctors son. Jones
had served as district attorney during
one of the most stormy criminal ses-
sions ever held in the United States
court in Nevada, rendered notable by
the prosecution and conviction of those
concerned in the now notorious rob-
berieS at the United States mint.
