REMEMBERED PARTING.
After Three Years Of Separation
Naval Oficer and His spouse
Exchange Greetings.

Navy families are used to separations.
A middle aged officer of the navy left
Washington three years ago for
cruise on the China station, says the
Post. On the evening that he left his
wife herself prepared an especially
dainty dinner for him, the bill of fare
winding up with strawberry shortcake.
Only half the shortcake could be eaten
by the family, SO heartily had they par
taken Of the other viands, and the Of
ficer said to his wife: You can just
put the remaining half of that short
cake in the refrigerator and we'll have
it tomorrow" He forgot for the mo-
ment that he was going away that
night. His wife went down to the
station with him and among the final
instructions she gave him was an i'm
perative command to have his hair
trimmed as soon as he reached San
Francisco. The officer had, absent
1nindedly, permitted his hair to grow
rather long.
He returned to Washington recently,
after an absence of a month more than
three years. His wife met him at the
station. After their first salutation
she said to him, smiling:
II observe that you obeyed orders
and had your hair cut"
"Yes, my DEAR" replied the officer
"and did you save me that bit of straw
berry shortcake?"

Dewey DAY PARDON.
Oldest Prisoner in Penitentiary
Will Be PardOned.

Louis Ford, a Topeka colored man,
who has served 2S years of his life pen
atty for the murder of a colOred man
named Scales in Topeka in 1871, in the
Kansas penitentiary, will be pardoned
by Governor Stanley and permitted to
leave the penitentiary Monday morning
to celebrate Dewey day.
The governor is today hearing pardon
cases and the Ford case attracted his
attention. The board of pardons under
Governor Leedy recommended a pardon
and no protests have been offered
against it.
Ford and Mary Jane Scales, the wife
Of the man killed, were sentenced to be
hanged. The crime was committed in
1870. when under the law people were
executed for murder. Governor James
NJ. Harvey commuted the sentence to
life Imprisonment. Mrs. Scales has
been pardoned. When Ford was sem
fenced he was II years old.
Nineteen of the % years he has spent
in the Topeka asylum. He is now cured
and was returned to prison when Dr.
c. H Wetmore was superintendent of
the asylum.

This system comprises 227 miles of
road operated by horse, electric and
cable power. The current market value
of the securities is sos, ,153. $3.50. The
whole outfit, including tracks, real es-
tate and equipment, could be duplicated
for $35. 600, OOO leaving a franchise ac-

part of the town and then on to the
northeast for fifteen miles. The path
in some places is swept as clean as
threshing floor Along other parts
carpet of timbers, trees and bricks knee
deep is seen, but the debris is pulverized
as though it had gone through a stone
cruSher.
Stories of the victims are heartrend-
ing. DR.. Howells, his wife and three

Miss Bessie, a student in the state
normal school, were crushed in their
home and their bodies were found far
out among the wreckage. The little
son, Audrey, was found today severely
The Weaver family of eight saw the
storm coming but stood calmly by the
chair of John c. Weaver, the aged in
valid father. The grown sons might
have run with their wives and baby out
of the storms path. The house was
torn to fragments. The old man was
crushed in his chair and the others
were knocked senseless. Ella Weaver's
legs were both broken. The aged mother
was not hurt.

dead form embraced in each arm and
crazed with grief
While John McCalT was holding on
to a sapling at the skirt of the cyclone
a 12-year-old boy John Gebdart, came
down on him from the sky. He caught
and saved the boy, whose home had
been demolished two blocks away
At Henry Nichols farm, just out of
town, in the path of the storm, another
man was seen carried uD a hundred
feet from the ground. The body has not

That was my personal Judgment as a
lawyer, not alone in this case, but in the
matter of two or three other bills which
were passed by the legislature manifestly
for special purposes. This bill in partic-
uiar devoted not little time and study
to, but at every turn there bobbed up
before me the decision of the court in
the court house case in Minneapolis, and
there I was. This decision, it seems to
me, directly contradicts the position taken
by the court in that case. 1t was COM
PEELED by necessity then, but there is no
excuse, according to the law. This de-
cision, 1t seems to me, is based on sound
sense and sound law, but 1t will result
in the setting aside of a number Of meas
ures which were passed in good faith
If l am not mistaken. I recall at least
three bills which came to me for my
signature last winter where the circum-
stances were such that they seemed to
me clearly special legislation, yet so def
rite was this decision in the court house
case with respect to the latitude to be
allowed the legislature in its classical
ton that / was constrained not to veto
them, but to let the processes of the gov
eminent take their course, and in the
event they promised to work any injus-
tice- to any one or any community, let
him or 1t find relief in the courts of last
resort"

rill The latter considered the action of
the court a reflection on his official rep
utation, and there was a sensational
scene in the chambers this morning, In
which the states attorney roasted the
court. Rev. Van Horn, organizer of the
league, seems to be the leading spirit in
the work. The prisoners will have a
