A Yankee touring through Europe
some time ago met in Paris an enthusi.
astic Frenchman. whose heart he nearly
broke by the manner in which he pooh
poohed the idea of France containing
anything that might be in the slightest
degree superior to what the States could
show.
In despair Froggy at length wended
his way toward the Eiffel tower, and.
pointing to it, exclaimed excitedly;
'There. you can't beat that for height.

ShOup has just returned from an official

purpose Of acquainung himself with leg

would not share in the tremendous ex-

The Senator is of the firm conviction
that nothing would retard the growth of
Alaska more than Territorial form Of
government The cost Of maintaining

and taxation would be equivalent to CON

BOARD
IS NOT A UNIT
The Folsom Penitentiarv
Without a Warden.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Oct IA
Contrary to expectations the State Pris-
on directors did not elect anybody to
succeed the deceased Warden Hale as
head of the Folsom Prison at their regu-
lar monthly meeting to-day. The reason
given for this delay by four of the direc-
tors was that there is no hurry as regards
succeed the deceased Warden Aull as
captain of the guard Murphy is perfectly
competent to manage the institution in
accordance with the most modern penolog-
ical principles, but it is suspected by sew
eral who have been watching proceedings
that the real trouble is a disagreement
among the members of the board as to
whether the deceased warden shall be
succeeded by a Democrat or a Repub-
can.
Directors Devin and Hayes are theonlv
Republican members of the board, and
consequently the Democrats have a ma
Jortty and can control the election. 1t is
pretty we'll understood that Directors
Fitzgerald, Wilkins and Ray are in favor
OF honOring the unWritten law and pIaC-
ing Democrat in the position while the
failure to act at this time would seem to
indicate that their Republican confreres
would be pleased with a radical departure
from the rule and would like to see a Re

ons. William Ashe, brother of Attorney
Porter Ashe; was present as candidate
for the position, but departed without the
satisfaction of knowing that the plum
had fallen to his lot

the courtesy of Adjutant General Sea-
mans of the National Guard the prison
had been loaned a Gatling gun, which
had been tested and found to be in good
working order.

the total cost of It's establishment being
$!O99 10. From the warden's report it is
also seen that the breaking of the main
shaft in the jute mill has occasioned Iit
tie delay in the manufacture Of bags, as
burlap to complete the 1880 sacks for
which orders were on file at the time
of the accident
James Cunningham, a convict, was ex-
amined by the, Lunacy Commission,
