board OF regents has poid out $4,000 of
the states money on the warrants Of the
Old board since the constitutional
amendment which legislated them out OF

the Old board has been holding office
illegally all this time and consequently
paying out this money illegally. And

rERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION
TO ADVERTISERS.
Attorney General Grigsby has writer

Attorney General Grigsby has written
an opinion in which he holds that the
two joint resolutions passed by the last
legislature, creating q revenue law com
mission and an investigating commission,
have mo force or effect whatever as law
Also that the appropriations made for
the maintenance of these commission
are Invalid. The opinion was given at
the request of Auditor Mayhem.
The attorney general states that the
appointment of a joint committee OF
members OF the legislature by joint
resolution, to sit during recess, with
power to send for persons and papers, is
a commo practice, sanction d by the
the highest authority. But The crea-
ton of a committee to be appointed by
the governor with "power to send for
prisons and papers and to force the
giving Of testimony" is an entirely
different question.
To hold that this could be done by
Joint resolution under our constitution
would be to hold that laws can be made
by Joint resolution. This would %nullify
many provisions Of the constitution;
Those providing for an enacting clause,
for reading bills three times and for ex.
ecutive approval. The joint resolutions
were not approved by the governor.
The attorney general cites a case de-
cided in Colorado. The legislature pro.
vlded by joint resolution for the print.
ing of a report and in the general ap-
preparation for Legislative printing.
The court held that the appropriation
was illegal and that the joint resolution
was rot law.
The attorney general then states that
in his opinion the joint resolution Great.
Ing these commissioners is without the
force and effect of law.
AZ to the appropriation the attorney
general says: 1T is clear that the ap-
preparations cannot be used to pay the
EXPENSES Of committees that are rot
lawfully created"
But even if the Joint resolutions we're
constitutional and valid the %appropria-
tions are illegal because they are items of
the appropriation bill. The constitution
strictly limits the items that may 60 into
the general appropriation bill and the
expenses Of these commissions cannot be
cIassed under any Of these items.
Able lawyers dissent from the opinion
of the attorney general and it is probable
that the mandamus proceedings will
be instituted to compel the auditor to
pay out the expense money appropriated.

CRUSHED BY AN ANACONDA. - A
huge anaconda, On exhibition in d
museum at Philadelphia, yesterday,
severely injured Samuel Washer, a
Waterman, and crushed to death q
valuable trick pony. The pony was
tied to feed box, alongside the ana
conda's cage. Washer saw the reptile
had worked one of the boards of its
cage loose, and had stretched its tail
out short distance. He pushed the
board to, believing that the anaconda
would pull within the cage again. H.
stead, it wriggled out and wrapped it
self several times about Washer. The
latter screamed for help, aud the pony,
frightened by tie big reptile, began
jumping about. This probably saved
Washers life, for the reptile unwound
itself from him and completely encir-
tled the pony. Masher fell to the floor
unconscious. while the big snake con-
tinued to crush the pony until life was
extinct. When q number of the en-
ployes reached the scene the snake had
begun to unwind itself. and appeared
to be getting ready for more fight. The
men kept aloof until lasso had been
obtained, and the anaconda finally
made secure. Several of Washers ribs
were broken, and he was removed 10 a
hospital.

WoMAN's TALE SHOCKS a CLUB =
The Woman's Literary Club, of Baltl-
more, is on the brink of disruption en-
account of the reading of g story writ
ten By Mrs. George Dallas Dixon, ore
of the newest members, entitled "On
the Sand Dunes"
The story vas submitted at the re-
Quest of the fiction committee, and
Mrs. George Whitlock was assigned to
read it. When she had gotten about
half through the president of the CLUB,
Mrs. Turnbull, showed signs OF disap
probation. She suggested that the
story was not altogether OF the charac
Ter which the members had been wont
10 hear. Mrs. Whitlock said that it
would be only fair to the author 10
have the entire story presented. II
was decided that the reading should
continue.
The authoress was not present, Du'
when she heard of the controversy II
had provoked she sent in her resigna'
ton. Mrs. TuInbull sent her ~ com
,nunication calculated to smooth mat
tiers, with the request that she recon
slider her action, but Mrs. Dixon seems
determined to go.
The moral of the story is that mar
ried woman who permits herself to in
dulge in what appears to her BARN
less Irritation may suddenly awaken to
tud herself compromised, and, while
really innocent, be driven by the con.
sequences of her actions still farther oil
until she is forced to pay at last the Jul!
penalty of the law.

HEARD His FUNERAL SERMON =
At Vads, Harrison county, W. Va,
Yesterday, the novel scene of an Old
man listening to his own funeral Ser
mon was witnessed in the Methodist
Church. Frank Wiseman, eighty
three years old, some months ago be
gan preparations for death. He made
q will disposirg of over one hundred
thousand dollars in cash ard farm
lands, had a fine solid walnut coffin
built by local cabinetmaker, got into
the box and made sure that it was sot'
and roomy, selected the habilimenls in
which he desired to be buried, and
finally made the request of several
ministers that they preach his funeral
sermon. All the preachers refused
but Rev. John 2. Ireland. MIR. Wise
man offered TO provide new church
for him at Vadis, and he agreed TO
take the old man as text, putting IN
the proviso that the sermon would deal
only with the truth and would be
worded just as though Wiseman were
dead and not present to hear it. Yes.
terday the church was damned, and
the sermon was preached. Many OF
Wiseman's acts in life and eccentrici-
ties were touched upon unfavorably,
and he was praised for his good deeds.
Some of Wiseman's friends and rela.
tives took exception to Mr.. 1relan6's
remarks, but The old man after the Ser.
mon expressed himself as pleased and
en- irely satisfied. Wiseman is hale
aud hearty, and may live past the cen
turY ark.
