An organization has just been
formed at Chicago whose members
propose to substitute a phrenologist
for Cupid. The working plan of this as
ISOLATION, which is said to have a rap
idly increasing membership, is to hold
what are called matrimonial picnies
every few weeks, at which all the
candidates of both sexes for the mar
riage state submit their heads to the
examination sof the qualified officials
for the recording of characteristic
bumps. After due comparisons and
consultations a list of men and women
whose traits are found to supplement
each others are told of, and all pos
sible encouragement offered to induce
their speedy marriage. At a recent
matrimonial picnic sixty men and for
ty women had their .cranial bumps felt
by the professors, and a number of
marriages Of "af1nities" are, expected
to take place shortly. A great deal

The motto of every notorious poitt-
ical boss is'"rulee or ruin" He is in
capable Of genuine patriotism, but the
laws Of the, country in which he .prac-
tices restrain him from reasonable
acts. True loyalty to a political party
is likewise beyond his capacity, and
there are no laws to prevent him from
betraying honest citizens who. as
members~of- "a political organization,
find themselves under his leadership.
So long as he is permitted to. rule in
his own party the damage he. can do
depends largely upon the power of his
party in public affairs. When he hnds
that he can no longer. rule in his party
he sets out to ruin it. He must have
a majority with him in order to rule;
he can ruin sometimes with a minor,
ity. Thus, however dangerous the po-
litical bossdsyto~the people, he is more
dangerous to the party to which he
belongs, or which he may look upon
as belonging to him. One Of the mar
wells Of politics in this republic is that
~partisanship does not. in self-defense.

Words are undoubtedly useful
things; but, alas! how inadequate are
they to express what is worthiest Of
expression. The best thing in us can
never be spoken or written. We Know
not what. dictionaries future ages may
invent to remedy this want; we are
certain;e at least, the benefactor is not
yet born. Meantime if, in our STUN
bling way, we do justice in any faint
degree to our better aspirations, let US
be thankful.

Two Ladies' at the Baldwin Deny m

A story originating in the office of pri.

was to the effect that the Ashley girls of
Pasadena were in town and that thew had
brought . contract for E. J. Baldwin to

of the infant child of Miss Lillian Ashley.
On Wednesday last two ladies register
ing as Mrs B. Lay and Miss F. Law of
Chicago arrived at the Baldwin Hotel and
were assigned TO suite 230 third floor. on
the Powell-street side. Some time after
ward the suspicious of the hotel people
were aroused that the new arrivals were
none other than Lillian Ashley. the nem.

Emma Ashley. There were some stronq q
points in resemblance, so it was stated,

THE LAST APPEAL
FOR DURAN I
It Will Be Made to the
United States Supreme
Court
On the Ground That His Rights
as a Citizen Have Been
Iniringed.
Governor Budd Asked to Grant 6
Reprieve ami Stey of Execution
In the Meantime.

Eugene n. Deuprey, counsel for Dur
rant. has perfected his papers on appeal
10 the United States Supreme Court at
Washington, and they will be presented
to Chief Justice Fuller. 1t is likely, how
ever that Justice Field will have charge
of the matter, 1t being within his terri
torial jurisdiction, Chief Justice Fuller
having the preference as a matter Of cour-
tesy.
The ground on which the Supreme
Court will be asked to intervene is that
Durrants rights as a citizen of the United
States have been infringed throughout
the whole course of the proceedings
against him.
1t was expected that an appeal would
be had to the United States Circuit Court
here, but it was found that in case OF an
un1avorable decision al the hands of that
tribunal the time for an appeal to the Su-
preme Court at Washington. D. c., would
be too close upon the date set lor the exc
cution, June II.
There was no hope from the Supreme
Court of this State, and there were cer-
tain indications leading to the suspicion
that an appeal to the United States Cir
cult Court would not be productive Of
favorable results, so it was decided to take
in the land.
simultaneously with this movement the
necessary papers were prepared for pre-
sentati to Governor Budd asking him
for reprieve until after the United States
Supreme Court shall have rendered an
opinion on the merits Of the appeal
Should the opinion be unfavorable to the
condemned man Governor Budd will be
asked to commute the death penalty to
imprisonment for life.
Several persons called upon the Gov
ernor shortly after his arrival from Sacra-
mento and laid the matter before him.
The Governor has the matter under ad.
visement. 1t is not believed that he will
refuse to grant the reprieve SO long as
Mr.. Deuprey shall have spark of hope
left to save his client. The fact that the
conviction was based upon circumstantial
evidence will have great weight in Dur
rants favor. SO far as q stay of execution
is concerned.
