THE GRAND HOTEL MURDER.
More Evidence discriminating the Pris-
 Oner


 New York, Aug. 1s.-Dr. Samuel J. Kennedy, who is imprisoned at police headquarters on the charge of the mur- der of Emeline Reynolds at the Grand hotel on Monday night, has secured counsel, and Captain McCluckey says, will be questioned no further by the po- lice.
 It was learned to-day that when the detectives made a search of his room in the Grand hotel on Tuesday a num- Der of bits of paper were found in the room and on the fire escape. These were gathered up, taken to police head quarters, and pasted on 8 piece of glass. It was then seen that it was 8 piece of dentists pad, on one side of which "E. Maxwell'' was written in the prisoners handwriting. A search of Kennedys office brought forth a pad of similar sheets.
 The detectives are searching the pawn shops for the diamonds of the dead woman, but thus far have had no success.

lie win 30 General storekeepor and
Gnuger Under Collector Penman.

w. S. Jones, of West Scranton, has
been appointed general storekeeper and
gauger by Revenue Collector 7. +. PEN
man. AS yet the appointment is only
temporary, but it will undoubtedly be
made permanent within a short time.
The appointment was made to fill
vacancy caused by the resignation of
John Monrey, of Bloomsbury, who was
one of Grant Herring's appointees.
Mr.. Jones was a deputy collector
under Mr.. Penman during the latter's
former term. He is well fitted by eX-
perience for the position. The appoint
ment of Mr.. Jones was made possible
by rule Of the civil service regulations
of the internal revenue department
which provides that q soldier who has
an honorable discharge from the army
and who was removed from office for
political reason can be reinstated
without passing the usual civil service
examination.
This fits Mr.. Jones' case exactly. He
served in the late war and was hon
orahly discharged and during Mr.. PEN
mans former term was a highly valued
meber of revenue collectors staff. He
was removed by Mr. Herring. Mr..
Penman has sent a statement of the
case to the department and pending
the approval of the appointment Mr..
Jones is on duty by virtue of the tenn
porary appointing power which the
collector has.

1t may not be generally known that
the Dutch Beers at the cape, especially
those living in remote districts, where
material is expensive and labor diff
cult to obtain, frequently purchase at
least one coffin beforehand, which is
placed in a conspicuous position in
the "voor kamer," or principal sitting
room, and utilized as an article OF fur
niture, for ornament or as receptacle
for clothing and other oddments.
One farmer, we'll known to the writer,
possesses a beautifully finished article
of this sort which he purchased about
thirty years ago. During that period
he has buried three wives, each Of
whom had to be content with coflins Of
the commonest material and toughest
workmanship, while his own, awaiting
its possessor, stands in all its luster of
polished teak and silver mountings.
For the present the old gentleman
uses it as a couch for his midday nap,
in order, as he sometimes remarks
with grave humor, that he may getac

First Don't Worry Club Man.

The middle-aged man who was sit
ting on the railing ficked the ashes
from his cigar, and then said: "This
don't-w worry movement isn't anything
new; there always have been people
who take life easy, and there always
will be. When was boy l lived in
a small town which had just one good
grocer-one man who kept an up-to-
date stock of goods and sold at fair,
honest prices. Well, in the summer
time that man used to shut up his
grocery every afternoon at o'clock
sharp and go to bed. His store doors
were locked and bolted, and you
couldn't buy a match or potato of
that man until 3 o'clock.
''At that time he would open his
shop again, put out his barrels of
vegetables and his baskets of fruit
and begin all over again. His trade
was brisk, the whole town knew his
peculiar way of doing business, and he
probably never lost any money by re-
tiring for two hours of sleep. In the
winter, of course, lie kept open all
day. His health was always good,
he made fair living, and left his
family enough money to quarrel over
when he died. In my opinion he was
