the Chinese interpreter. buff therefore
went out of service under a cloud. Later
the treasury agents investigated the case
and found that it was Williams and not
HUFF who was guilty of crookedness in
connection with the Chinese business
and they so reported to the Secretary OF
the Treasury and recommended that the
injured interpreter be made the official in
terpreter IN the United States courts in
order to re-establlsh his reputation and
standing.
This was done month or so ago and
for four weeks Huff has held that posi-
ton. Yesterday he presented his resigna-
ton to the department, as he is now fully
exculpated from all charges by the Gov
eminent.

MCEhERnEY NOW
HOLDS THE FORT
The Supreme Court Decides
Against George A.
Knight.
Final Settlement as to Who Is
State Board of Health
Attorney.
Office Declared TO Be Not Elective,
but One of Gubern atorial
Appointment.

Carrot W. McEnerney remains now in
undisputed possession of the Office of at
torney for the State Board of Health, and
George A. Knight is an lex"
The Supreme Court in bank has at las It
decided in very terse style in only two
tyre written pages.
Knight was appointed attorney for the
State Board of Health by Ex-Governor
Markham under the provisions of an act
of June Is, 1891. July IL. 1895, Governor
Budd appointed Dennis Spencer as
knights successor, but knight refused to
vacate.
Spencer began action against Knight
and judgment was rendered in favor of
the former. An appeal to the Supreme
Court was taken from this decision. When
Spencer died McEnerney was appointed
as his successor.
Knight claimed the right to retain the
Office from the language EN- ployed in the
latter part of section 1 of the act creating
the Office, which states that the appointee
''shall hold his Office as such attorney for
the term of four years and until his sue
cessor is elected and qualified" while for
mer language recites that such attorney
shall be appointed by the Governor"
Court asserts that there is no provision in
the section or elsewhere upon the statute
book that the Office shall be provided for
by an election. That construction fails to
give effect to the provisions declared with
definiteness and attributes a controlling
effect to a provision which is merely SUD
sidiary and incidental to the purpose of
the act. Accordingly the court argued
that Knights contention that his sue
cessor had not been properly elected and
qualified was not based upon good
grounds.
THE additional words, until his sue
cessor is elected and qualified so the
text of the decision runs, cannot have
the effect to overcome the previous decla-
ration that the officer is to be. 'appointed, ,
or justify an inference that the office
should be elective.
THAT the provision in the act that such
attorney shall be appointed by the Gov
ernor, was intended by the Legislature to
apply to future incum bents of the office
is also corroborated by the tact that no
provision has been made for an election of
the officer, or the constituency by which
he should be elected"
Accordingly the judgment of the lower
court was affirmed. Mr.. Knight steps
out.

ing, has fled petition to be appointed
executor of the estate OF Sarah H Trow-
bridge, who died i'll this City on the 18th

him as executor she says: I'D. .. Mills,
my dear and trustworthy frienc, L do
hereby appoint you as my executor of this
my last will, without bonds or other out
side control"
Mr.. Mills would not ordinarily Geal with
an affair with so small an amount of money
involved, but in appreciation of the conf
dence reposed in him by his dead friend
has expressed a willingness to manage the
affairs of the estate until they can be
legally settled. Judge Slack will take up
the matter on the 81 OF next month. John
Flournoy is attorney for the executor.

young Bonaparte to a mortal duel,
and was ignored by the imperial prince.
Ten years Of quiet life, interrupted on
ly by q sensational speech at dinner
given him by the Literary Fund OF
London were spent by the due at his
seat ON the Thames and his fine breed
ing estate In Worcestershire, where he
devoted himself to agriculture. When
the Franco-Prussian war came D'Au-
male freely offered his wealth and per-
son to the cause OF his country, but the
military authorities steadily refused to
have aIght to do with him. In Janu-
airy, 1871, he addressed o proclamation
to the people of the department Of the
Disc. He told them that he would
prefer constitutional monarchy, but
would abide by and support a republic
il the people wanted one. He an
nounced himself as candidate for the
assembly and was elected, but he did
not return to France until June OF 1871,
when the ban was removed from the
royal family.
Honors now came fast for the Prince
of Orleans. He was elected president
Of the general council Of the Disc de-
partment. He became a member Of
the academy with but one vote against
him. He was made general Of di-
vision in the army and in 1876 de-
mand was made upon him to represent
the people of the assembly, but he de-
clined in order that he might give
all his time to the army of France.
But he was not to be left long in his
beloved France. The bill of expulsion
against the members of the royal fam
lily was passed and Boulanger, then
minister Of war; deposed the royal gen.
eral, who retired meekly to his estates
in England. When he had gone 1t was
discovered that he had willed his beau
tiful chateau at Chantilly to the French
nation. Among the treasures in this
country palace is painting, Raphael's
celebrated "Three Graces," for which
he had paid the English Lord Dudley
the stupendous sum of $4,000 francs.
This discovery softened the hearts Of
Frenchmen for the patriotic duke, but
1t was only after many years, in 1889,
that the decree banishing him was re-
voked and he returned to live in his
chateau life interest in which he re-
tanned for himself. 1t now becomes the
property Of the French nation. D'Au-

OLDEST COUPLE.


Hitler and His wife, Aged 1O7 and 1916,
Respectively.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Hitler, who live
near La Grange, Ind, have just COM
pleted eighty-seven years Of married
life, and both bid fair to live a few
years longer. Mr.. Hitler is now 107
years old and his wife 1906, and the
little frame cottage they occupy has
been their home for nearly eighty-flve
years. This house consists of one
room, and this room contains all the
aged couples earthly possessions. Mr..
Hitler is vigorous looking man for
his extreme old age. His hand is as
strong and his step as firm as those
of man of 40. His eyes are bright
and his long hair falls in unmixed
whiteness almost to his shoulders. His
wife has long since passed under the
spell Of old age. She is bent almost
double with the weight Of her years,
and is totally blind. Its caution"
says Mr.. Hitler, speaking Of his age.
Il never counted on living so long or
anything like it." He tells how he
was born in jamestown, near King
ston, Canada. He was % years old
when the war of 1912 came along, and
he describes Canada as very wild
country in those years. The first year
of the war he and his wife left Can
ada and settled near Marine City, and
went from there to Emmett, Mich,
whence they came to their present
home. They were married when Mr..
Hitler was 20 and his wife IS. With
his old age have come symptoms Of
second childhood, the most amusing
and amazing of which is the cutting
Of two teeth safely. The old couple
have eleven children--the eldest 50
and the youngest 81.

IL is practice OF some farmers we
know to let few burdock plants grow
so as to furnish a green bite for horses
during the early summer. The horses
are almost crazy at this season to eat
something green, and the slightly Bit
ter taste of the burdocls leaves does
not prevent them from eating them
greedily. This will not interfere with
eating dry feed asgreen pasture would
do In fact 4ome horsemen regard the
burdock leaves as a valuable tonic,
and declare that horses eat mora
heartily and do more work after tibet
have been fed thus.

Back in the early '7O's the Tacoma
Mill Company, not being able to hand

trading with and paying off the Indian
laborers and early settlers, hit upon
the novel plan Of issuing It's own cur

smith to work to fashion out Of scraps
of iron and brass pieces of money, or
rather tokens, which could be used as
circulating medium.
The pieces consisted of 40 and As
cent iron tokens and brass 81 pieces.
The Accent pieces were about an inch
In diameter, and the 45-cent pieces were
about the size of the present silver
half dollar. The 81 pieces were oval in
shape, about an inch and quarter
long, an inch wide and sixteenth OF an

stamped with the figures showing their
value and readily passed current all
