Mrs. Georges Murderous Threats.
Canton, O., April 14.-The feature of
yesterdays proceedings in the trial
of Mrs. George was the testimony of
Attorney w. o. Werntz, who had rep
resented her in number of civil ac-
tons prior to the killing of Saxton.
He sought to evade testifying on-the
ground that what he knew had been
told him by Mrs. George. and was
privileged communication between
counsel and client. However, the
court decided to admit the testimony,
and Werntz told Of series of threats
and plans for their execution on the
part Of Mrs. George against the life
Of Saxton.

A CONFIDENCE GAME.


Exception will no doubt be taken to
the statements made by Aid. Kenny re-
garding our so-called smoke ordinance,
and the influences which have been eff
fective in keeping such criminally
foolish local statute in existence. But
no matter how individuals may depre-
cate the personal feature of the alder
mans reference to those influences no
one can successfully gainsay the sub
stantiaf correctness of his position. He
is right in designating the entire bust
ness as confidence game, and he is
right il. insisting that nothing save
the efforts of individuals in politics and
business to promote the sale of so-called
smoke consumers will explain the eX-
istence of the present ordinance and the
vexatious and questionable determina-
ton shown to enforce its provisions.
Men who do not belong to commercial
bodies and are not active in political
life. whose names are never seen in the
newspapers. but whose standing, Judg-
ment and public spirit are generally I'M
surpassed, may be heard on our streets
day by day denouncing the settled con-
duct of that class Of our citizens who In
political and business life assume to
give voice and direction to the inter
ests of the community. Their complaint
is that in many cases such men either
do not understand the city's needs, or,
understanding them, choose to yield to
the demands of private interest when
ever a line of action is to be determined
on which involves the general well-be-
ing.
These protestants are in the main and
usually right The existence of such
local regulations as this smoke ordi-
nance, and the determined purpose shown
by public officials to enforce its pro-
visions at the cost of local manufacture
ers and merchants, and to the detriment
of the city's growth, offer striking
instance of the grounds which exist for
dissatisfaction and disheartenment on
the part of vast body of our people
with reference TO the nlandSeIneul VI
our local interests There IS a great
deal of money in this consuming
industry if it only can be successfully
worked. Men prominent in business and
political circles can be named who have
at intervals in the past fifteen years
and perhaps fer the past twenty years,
as Aid Kenny says-taken the agency
for the safe of different varieties Of
smoke consumers and worked up
public sentiment through politics and
otherwise with a view to securing the
enactment and enforcement of smoke
ordinances. Nobody doubts that Just the
same influences saare- behind all that is
being done in this directienanew.s There
is 40 public interest which can demand
such action. On the contrary, the pub
lie interest is being seriously injured
and handicapped by such operations.
1t is right and timely that some public
official should take the responsibility in
his representative character to do just
what Aid. Kenny has done concerning
this whole corrupt and disgraceful busl-
ness of smoke ordinances and their en-
forcement.

NOTIFIES COUNTY AUDITORS
PUBLIC EXAMINER POPE CALLS
THEIR ATTENTION TO SOME
VIOLATIONS OF LAW

Road and school Funds and Bills for
Board Of Prisoners by SheriHs
Frequently Manifest Irregular
tiles Which Should BE Corrected.
State Public Examiner Z. NJ Pope yes
terday sent out two circulars to county
auditors, which, he intimates, will be
quickly followed by details in specific
cases where violations of the law referred
TO have been found.
The first circular relates 20 the irregular
payment of moneys from current school
funds. 1t says:
Information from the department of
public instruction discloses the fact that
some auditors do not conform to the pro-
visions of section 3763, Of General Stat
utes 1894, as amended by chapter 40, of
the Laws of 1887, in that they pay 10
districts in their counties, from the cur
rent school funds an amount In excess
of the amount appropriated by such dis
tricts from their special and local one
mill tax levied in that year.
You are advised to withhold from such
districts all amounts to which they are
not ent tied under the law. and report the
same to the state auditor. All amounts
forfeited by districts and returned to
state auditor Will be adQeQ TO the current
school fund to be distributed in the March
apportionment"
The second circular is as follows:
To County Auditors and Chairmen Coun-
ty Commissioners:
Dear Sir: Resulting from the current
examinations, now nearly completed, of
counties in the state, my attention is
called to a looseness. of Interpretation. OF
laws, and in some cases an open violation
Of their plain provisions, on the part OF
the board of county commiss: oners, au-
ditors and other county officials
This is especially manifest in the allow
ance and payment of bills against the
county, in the using of road fund and
school fund, and especially in allowance
Of sheriff's bills for fees or services per-
formed or attempted, and for board Of
prisoners
This circular is general, but your atten-
ton will soon be called to any special
causes Of criticism in your county, pend
ing which l hope you will examine the
laws under which you are allowed to
use the county funds, and of your own
voItion correct any evils resulting from
previous misunderstanding or inattention
to the provisions of the laws. The re-
sponsibility devolved upon this depart
nlent, under the provisions of section 412,
General Statutes 1894 cannot be dis
charged satisfactorily without your cor
dial cooperation and assistance, and 1

Methodist Women Discuss Methods
of Raising Their Share.

of Raising Their Share.
The Methodist Episcopal church Of the
United States is to celebrate the be
ginning of the new century by raising
fuEd of $20,000,000 for missionary work.
OF this sum the various woman mission
airy societies are pledged to raise 100000
and the Minneapolis branch Of the
WCman's Foreign Missionary society will
endeavor to contribute $4,000.
Ways and means of raising this amount
were discussed at yesterday afternoons
session of the society. Mrs. D. S. B.
Johnston, of ST. Paul, offered some reso-
lutions providing for the organization of
fifty new auxiiaries in the branch; for
the holding of special praise services in

charge contained mems hats and English
newspapers AS the ma tives do not wear
hats, from choice, and as their ignorance
of the English tongue prevents them
from reading anything printed in that
language, the box alone proved valua bic,
being used as kindling wood
