WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-On motion
of Assistant Attorney-General Ander.
son, the supreme court today decided
to issue Immediately mandate in the
Dnrrant murder case, No representa-
tive Of, ,Durrant was in conrt-when the
motion was made.
The court, after hurried consulta-
tion on the bench, announced through
Chief Justice Fuller that q mandate
should issue forthwith.
Anderson thinks this will settle the
matter and hasten Durrapts execution.
He said he would have made the motion
sooner, but for the necessity of giving
notice to Durrant's counsel.

CHICAGO, Nov. PA special to the
Times-Gerald from Washington says
Ratification of the Hawaiian annexa-
tion treaty by the United States senate
is assured. The administration has
made poll of that body, and as re
suit President Mckinley thinks that
more than two-thirds of the senators
will vote for ratification.
When the treaty was submitted to
the senate on June l6 last, &c senators
were depended upon to vote for the in
sJrument. Eleven senators were doubt
full and q were opposed to its ratifica-
tion. Since that time the administra-
tion has taken steps to ascertain the
views of the men who were then in
doubt. AS result President McKin-
ley is depending upon 61 senators who
will certainly cast their votes in favor
of the treaty, with prospects of the ad
dition of several votes to this number.
The treaty is in excellent shape for
prompt action. 1t was fully considered
by the senate committee on foreign re-
lations, reported to the senate and
placed on the calendar with practically
the unanimous indorsemen Mt of the COM
mittee. There were no votes against
it, though Senators Turpie and Daniels
refrained from voting because they had
not fully made up their minds as to
what position they would take in the
matter. 1t is said to be the purpose of
Chairman Davis at the first executive
session to ask that day be fixed for
taking up the treaty. Its ratification
early in the year is confidently ex-
pected.

Well, he hadn't come out OF the struggle

Keiths exhibit bears out his former
reputation of standing with the best in
my eye as l passed, so full was it of life
and action. Joullin, Hill. Van Perbandt,
Castlehun and others whose names are
familiar to us all have reproduced the
scenes about us for our approval. Ger
tainly California is not to blame if its
artists are no more wonderful, and from
the results of their efforts so far perhaps
it is not the fault of the artist either but
rather the fault of time, who hurries by
too fast.
The work of the scuIptors has the promi-
nence that it deserves. All of the older
modelers are represented with work much
in their usual style, but there is new
exhibitor, young man whose name is as
yet unfamiliar. but who will undoub btedly
make name for himself in the days to
come. This young man is R. /. Aitken,
and he is represented by eight pieces
of most creditable work.
1t seems incredible that they can be the
work of student of only year. But
they are and will bear the closest COM
parison with the work of men who have
been studying many years. The principal
piece of work by Mr.. AitKen is bust of
Modjeska, which is particularly strong.
Besides these there are several portraits
and ''study of a woodchopper." relief
portrait of Daniel Frawley is lifelike in
the extreme.
1t must have been late, for the atmo.
sphere of the main building was changed.
The doors of exit were open and the chill
air of the outer night crept in. The musi-
Clans were laying aside their instrumen
and preparing to depart. AT the different
booths the keepers were covering and lay
ing aside their wares or looking over the
days receipts. Mothers searched for their
children, calling them with a touch of
impatience in their voices, and the chill
dren came slowly, swallowing the last bit
OF popcorn or sweetmeat, and verging on
tears because the joy was gone and indi-
gestion was threatening.
And the men and women and children
passed out with a sense of the morrow's
labor and responsibility stealing back into
their faces. JEAN MORRIS.

"GoLD CURE IS SURE"
Full Particulars Given.

The white signs with the black lettering
in the idst of these ferns and palms ct
the Pavilion were necessary, but-well,
necessary things are sometimes to be de-
plored.
But it was impossible to be in the at
mosphere OF the place without catching
the spirit of it. l found myself staring at
a collection of mounted butter flies with
ill-concealed delight and laughing with
the rest at the lack of humor in a colIec-
tion of humorous drawings, at the sight
of which should have wept at any other
time, and enthusing over the painted por-
trait of an oiy-Iooking man, the grim
humor of which would have haunted my
dreams had / seen it in saner moment.
But Joy is sort of deirium, and it has
way OF radiating and rushing over one
with a food-tide OF vibrations. Sorrow
moves slowly and heavily, but its vibra-
tions are mostly bey ond our ken, which Is
a wise provisi on of nature.
The most sedate wandered about, filing
their m ouths with popcorn, all gluey and
syrupy. and smiled and talked the while,
and the children threaded their happy
way in and out, chattering eagerly.
A notwithstanding woman, with her
hands full of gayly painted piclure-cards,
stood contemplating booth constructed
of paper napkins, and another, with
tired, flushed face and a baby in her arms
and one tug ing at b skirts. called to
her husband 10 observe the cabin made of
soap.
Isn't it pretty?" she asked.
Just then the music began again, and he
smiled.
"Yes, dear" he said, and he took the
heavy baby from her arms, and their eyes
met, and then they strolled away closer
than they had come. 1 saw them again,
standing before a y-patchwork quilt
that mostly covered half of the wall and
was self-confessed study in green, yellow
and red satin, and they were laughing to-
gether happily.
The ert gallery-a most enviable poses
session of the Mechanics Pavilion-was
filled with visitors, moving slowly about
and gazing long and interestedly at the
creations Of our well-known artists. Ger
tainly the booths were, and are, and ever
shall be, the same, and one may not al
ways be interested in hearing. year after
year, the same individuals expatiate upon
the same merits of the same wares, but
the art gallery, with its quiet bit of land
scape, its quaint and beautiful figures and
i'm mpressionistic studies, always attracts.
And with the music stealing up from the
lower floor and the murmur OF voices
coming softly with it there is kind of
peace il the midst of the colorings that

crimson decked rafters, carrying the
warmth of life and the echo of the
voice OF happiness into the farth-
est corner. There were the sounds
OF footsteps, the rustiing OF gowns and
the mingling of voices and laughter
and blending softly, like the soothing
voice of the mother when the child will
not be CAIN, the deep, soulful notes of
"Tannhauser" saved the time for Joy.
And there was light, light everywhere,
from the far distant corner of the gallery,
where an icecream sign stared unblush-
ingly and unlnvtingly back at me from
over the moving heads of the people, to
the booth near by where the small boys
with wistful eyes and watering mouths
looked 1onglngly from the tall glass
pitchers of nut-brown cider to the dis
figured whiteness of he sign above, which
told the price of that beverage per glass.
/ moved closer to the group of boys
while waiting for the warmth and har-
mony to crush out the chill and clash of
the darkness whence 1 had come.
"Gee!' said one, crunching a good
sized mouthful of candy the while he
spoke. "That fellow behind there's
drinking some"
HE can. It's his" another said, and
a third piped in:
"WouIdn't you like to be cider man,
SOS you wouldn't have to pay for it?"
"Oh," said one bitlarger than the rest.
and more willy. "I'm going to sell cider"
and he walked as near the booth as he
dared and spoke loudly, while the others
followed respectfully, lust SOS can give,
all the nice little boys drink"
He glanced out of the corner of his eye
to note the effect upon the seller of tenn
perate drinks, and observing nothing but
stony stare he tossed a few peanut
shells in our direc ton and betook himself
to the popcorn balls, with all the rest of
his coT panions admlringly grouped
about him.
"Boys are great nuisance" observed
the cider man sourly.

upon he fell to wiping the white oil cloth
with deal more energy than was really
necessary.
Farther up the way. and nearer to this
wonderful band which bears the stamp of

ing out with shining eyes.

And they hurried away, with me a close
second.
There were no flowers, but the ferns and
palms in their COOL green shades were
refreshingly beautiful.

paused. Once in the depths of the red

tree that had fallen in some storm, was
painted in glaring white-washed letters:

Lonely Death OF Young win Perkins
Who Went Hunting.

Boise, Idaho, Nov. ga sudden, lone
ly death has been the fate of q young
lad Of Middleton. named VIII Perkins.
On Thanksgiving day he went out shoot
ing, but did not return. Early the next
day party was out looking for traces Of
the missing lad. The fears of his par
ents proved only too well founded, his
dead body being found on the edge of a
slough a mile or two from home. His gun
lay little distance to the right. 1t had
been discharged, the charge striking the
unfortunate lad in the right side, tearing
a gaping hole through his body. 1t is
thought he slipped and threw the gun
from him to prevent it falling in the wa
ter, the trigger being caught by a twig
or stone and the piece discharged.

BUTTE MINE ACCIDENT.
John GOss, After Lighting Fuses for
blasts, Waited Too Long.

Butte, Mont, Nov. 29-John Goss was
instantly killed in the Original mine at
O'Clock yesterday morning by an ex-
plosion OF blasts in the face of a drift.
He and three others had been drilling
holes for the blast, and when it was ready
lighted the fuses. They waited too long,
however, and the blasts began to go of.
Goss was thrown down and must have
died at once. Two of the others escaped
without injury except the shock.
Richard Gilbert was burned by powder
and his legs filed with pieces Of rock.
Co.'S was a brother of William Goss, who
while working at squaring timbers in the
same mine less than a month ago fell
across a circular saw and was cut in two.
