Killed With q Hat Pin.

Tacoma, Wash.-Last week, at
Prescott, Walla Walla county, Frank
Sloan in fun kissed Miss Ella Boone,
whom he had blindfolded. She re-
sented his action, and pulling hat
pin from her hat, stabbed him in the
leg. The pin was broken of in his
limb and blood poisoning resulted.
Next day the pain became so intense
that Sloan went to the hospital at
Walla Walla. An ex-rsy machine
failed to locate any sign of the re-
naming portion of the pin, and
Sloan grew worse and died.
Miss Boone had remarked in
Sloan's presence that she had never
been kissed. This innocent remark
led to SiOan's death.

aovERNoR's SALARY AND TaH MANSION.
The State provides for the Governor
and his family Mansion spacious and
stately and well adapted to enterta n
ments and social coca lions. The liber.
atty Of Mr.. George Vanderbilt has i'm
proved the Mansion grounds an 1 made
them more attractive. The salary OF
the Governor is not adequate, to meet

say that serious pecuniary loss Is i'm
posed on q man Of moderate means
when he quits his personal earnings and
abandOns close attention to his private
property to become Governor o. North

to about $148. 900. So that the reg
ular or ordinary income OF the
Treasury for 1900 was about 81, 6l8,-
600, less this SAC, 900, which makes
the deficit for 1900 $29, 900 plus
$40, 900, which is SLIT 600.
II the Charities are to be sustain
ed and enlarged to meet manifess
wants and to relieve the suf1erings
Of the unfortunates, and abolish
existing horrors, such as the con-
flnement of lunatics in common
jails and in private houses With
families unable to care for them
and without means OF proper treat
ment ; If reformatories are to be es-
tablished, and il the legitimate
wants of the University are to be
met, and II the common schools are
to be enlarged, the General Assem-.
bly, must find additional sources of
income.
The prospects Of the railroad liti
cation are such as to give reaso =
able ground for the hope that some
additional income will be derived
from this source.
1t goes without saying that an
other way to augment the revenues
will be to increase the tax rate, or
to preserve the present tax rate,
but increase the present assessment
on property. II those methods OF
increasing the revenue are not SUI
ficient, then there is left for the
General Assembly only the consid-
Grafton of making . sale Of the as
sets of the State, or Of borrowing
money by an issue Of State bonds.
