The manner of electing lord mayor Is as
follows: On Michaelmas day-the 10Th of
September-in each year the members of
companies or guilds assemble in the Guild
hall and nominate the two senior aldermen
who have not already held the Office of lord
mayor. These nominations are submitted
to the board Of aldermen, who elect one of
them as lord mayor, usually the senior in
Office, though once in awhile there will be "A
contest. when the senior alderman for any
reason is unpopular with the board But as
a rule it is cut-and-dried affair, the SEN

years pass.

CHEAPER STAMPED ENVELOPES
Can Sell Them for S1.30 Per
One Thousand.

From the Washington Star
Within a short time it Is expected that
the postmaster general will issue an order
reducing the cost of stamped envelopes and
newspaper wrappers. This is made possible
by the extremely low bids received for do
ing the work. The government does not
seek to make money out of the people III
the sale of envelopes. but endeavors to put
their price near the cost.
1t is interesting to note the immense
sums paid by the government for envelopes
in the past. Thus in 1874 the price of the
envelope most used by the public was
$3.50 per 1.0OO to the government, and the
people had to pay $3.50 per LOCO.
Four years ago (and the government is
now operating under this contracO the de-
partment awarded a contract upon a bid
of S1.30 per GO for the same envelope. and
figured on selling them to the people at
$50 per 1000.
The government will be enabled to fur
nish envelopes under the new contract at
a much lower price. 1t is understood that
tine reduction will be in the neighborhooo
of so cents per 1,0oO.
Under the new bid a man can go to any
postoffice and purchase envelopes at s21 30
per LOCO. already stamped with accent
stamps. This is approximately but 13 cents
per 100 for the envelopes. or. to get it down
much finer, only 4 cents for a package of
twenty-five envelopes Of the best govern,
ment grade.

RUSSIAN EXILE REFORM.
Prisons Administrator, After Investi-

Is Useless.

LONDON. Jan. 5.-The st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Daily Mail says:
'.Privy Councillor Salomon, of the pris-

from five months tour of the prisons and
exile colonies of the Russian government
in Siberia and the island of Saghalien, on
the east coast of Asia. He has furnished
me with the chief points of his report TO
the czar.
Its leading feature is NJ. Salomons con-
clusion that banishment is useless and un-
desirable as punishment, because It pro-
duces the complete moral degradation Of
the exile.
.Salomon found the prisons in Western
Siberia in fair condition. with no signs OF
overcrowding or dirt but in Eastern ST.
IBERIA the conditions were quite the oppo-
site. Matters he found still worse in Sag
hanen-prisoners badly treated, prisons
filthy and hospitals crowded like pigsties
He dismissed two chief directors of pris-
ons for cruelty and embezzlement and
eighty minor officers for cruelty
He has drafted comprehensive sys-
tenn OF reforms in prison treatment, great
ly ameliorating existing conditions, pro-
viding payment for penal work and facil-
tiles for settling in Siberia on the expira-
tion of sentences. He believes his suggest

CORNISH CASE SUSPECTS.
Only the Lack of Light Boards Saves
Them From Summary
Arrest.

NEW YORK. Jan. 4.-The police have
three men under surveillance in connection
with the Adams-Cornish poisoning, and
would have arrested one or all Of them had
it not been for the fact that none of these
suspects has a light beard. Miss Miller,
the saleswoman who sold the match hold
er in Newark, is positive that the purchas-
er had a light beard: 1t is said that. should
the police discover that any of the suspects
purchased a false beard, an arrest would
Immediately follow and that the police
would then believe that they had a good
chance to secure the conviction of Mrs
Adams murderer.
Professor Witthaus. who has been analy-
iZng the contents of the bottle out of
which Mrs. Adams drank to-day made his
report to the district attorney. Professor
Witthaus says definitely that the poison
in the bottle sent to Cornish was cyanide
of mercury. and that he believes the sender
of the poison must have been either a
chemist or one with an intimate knowledge
Of chemicals. Professor Witthaus also says
that the bottle containing the poison was
not a bromo seltzer bottle. though label
taken from a regular bromo seltzer bottle
had been pasted over this bottle.
All the suspects are said to be men who
had grudgeS against Cornish.
