son Robert, young man of 81 years,
from the mysterious Influences of "loye
potions," which, Mrs. Richards alleges,

that the young man has been unable to
leave the latter's house for months past.

whose affections she sought TO gain. Mrs
Whiskeyman claims she has only sis
terly interest in Mrs. Richards son, but

documents Of considerable importance were

THERE is hardly doubt among dis
corning Southern people that as the old
negro slaves are dying out, the ami

neighbors, upon whom they depend for
support, instlled into them by their
white political allies in the North, is
increasing, and that, too, rapidly. If
some of The hundreds of millions OF do =

in deporting the Southern negroes TO

THE latest declaration of indepen5

partial readers, familiar with the condi
tions of both countries, can deny, is
more justi6able and more worthy of the
support of the people of the Philippine
Islands, and of the recognition Of for

issued by the American colonies a Gen.
and a quarter ago of the support Of
the people of those colonies sud of the

more, if that number be not enough,
thoroughly armed and equipped, will

when the rainy season will be over,

natives of that Island. Three months
ago General Otis said his army was
large enough, or rather was reported

so, and that hostilities would be pros
ecuted as well in rainy as in sunny
weather. If General Otis was reported
correctly, he must realize that he made

OLYMPIA, June lathe following cir
cular letter has been issued by Horatio
Alling. chief clerk in the department OF
state:
Considerable attention p being paid
by the newspapers to the difference Of
opinion existing between the governor
and this department In relation TO notar-
ial commissions. The secretary Of state
II at present absent from the capital on
Official business. and I deem II but j1st
to him and due to this department to an
nounce the fact that In response 70 the
governors request the attorney generals
ONCE rendered an official opinion to the
CRect that notafial commissions should
be issued by the governor in the same
manner that other commissions issue 70
Gubernatoeial appointees. This depart
ment 10 simply following the advice Of
the law officer Of the administration. AZ
1t would willingly have done had the at
torney general rendered a coatrary opin-
ion. The secretary OF state stands ready
to perform his duty In the premises BY at
testing the governors signature TO notar-
inl commissions and affixing the state
Seal thereto whenever such coYrmlssi1ns
duly signed BY the governor are presented
to him. The governor does not ask this
department TO make out and mail his COM
missions to appointees other Than notar-
ial and the attorney generals office
seems to SEQ no good reason why he
should seek to impose this portion OF hts
proper official functions upon us. More
over. a notarial commission. when prop
efiy encased for mailing. requires cents
Of postage. and In view OF the fact that
the appropriations for postage and ger
erai office expenses for the past two
years are $ea4 short Of the amount ac-
tually expended during the past two
years. the secretary deems It his duty to
his department and the public doing Is
mess through II to conserve as far as
possible the funds available"
