ASSAULTING A WOMAN

Denver. June 27.-Charles f. Griffin,
the assailnnt of Mt least one woman, is
safely behind the bars of the city Jail
but SO far nothing has transpired to
connect him with the deadly assaults
On Capitol hill or the brutal attack on
Celestine Coleman last Saturday night.
At police headquarters yesterday af-
ternoon Griffin confessed to having as
saulted Mrs. Christina KildOh of 800
Lincoln avenue, GlObeville. The u.s.
sault occurred about 2 p. M, just after
the woman had crossed the Thirty-frst
street bridge, on the Globeville side.
In attempting to es1npe, Griffin re-
seived in the left hand and in the back

Photography Without Dark Room.
Tho continued experiments of Prof.
r. Z. Nipher Of st. Louis with posi-
tive photography have produced some
very interesting results. He says that
the plates may be separately wrapped
In black paper at night. or in q dark
room. and all the remaining work can
Be done in the light. A plate Is taken
from Its wrapper in the light and
placed In the slide holder. and an ex-
posure-a long one-is made. After ex-
posure the plate 10 taken out in the
Light again. and placed in the develop
ing bath, and the picture Is developed.
and may be hxed. In the light. The re-
suit IL positive. Fine pictures are
thus obtained. While It is desirable to
shield the plate from the light ~ much
~ possible during the changes. yet.
Professor Nipher says, all OF the op-
erations may be carried ON without
any darkroom conveniences that may
net be secured even In the open fields.

evidence of the fitness Of the person
applying, but as soon as our hrst pa!cn
Of eachers have been secured, under
the great pressure for teachers IN these
islands, we shall extend the ciyh ser
vice law to the teachers as well.
"I desire to add that In our civil ser
vice law, and in carrying 1t out to tne e
letter. we have the assistance, sincere
and active, of both the President anu
the secretary of war. We have not
been Obliged to make n single appoint

the law effective. As 1t Is we have mol
heard of any complaint Of 1t from any
source. ,..
"As an earnest of the sincerity with
which the law was put into eHect,
would like to call your attention to the
fact that every man appointed De

when the law was passed. ana the nrst
of March, when the machinery was MI
ready for operation, was required 10

tions, very large proportion OF
whom were temporary appointees. 1t
was suggested and urged that we
ought not to require such appointees
to pass a competitive examination, but
we were firm and as n result a great
many worthless appointees abandoned
the idea of taking the examination and
went home.
You ask me what the friends OF
civil service in the United States can
do, and all 1 can say Is that you Will
strengthen us, think, by having the
fact generally understood that the law
has never been suspended since 1t was
passed and that no attempt has been
made to evade its provisions"

Williamson, w. Va, June 2I.-There
is no longer any doubt that the list OF
dead, the result Of the recent flood,
will exceed 100. Parties reached here
this evening from the upper end Of the
flooded district bringing the first au-
thentIc information received from the
scene OF disaster.
The section visited by the flood was
thickly settled, but as the population
consists chiefly OF miners who were Mt
work at the time, the large majority Of
the dead are women and children, and
thrilling stories OF rescue are told. AT
Eckman mother climbed huge Pill

breast her only child. Her home was
washed away, but the mother and
child were saved.
Fifteen persons are said to have
been drowned at Eckman. At Key

On Dry Fork the loss of life is great.
Bodies are scattered all along the
stream, many Of which will never be

governments presented another ques-

providing that after Marck, 1902, all
provincial officers except the governor
should be selected under the civil SER

From the oozy depths OF turf banks
the several parts of the still are I'M

In the western parts of Connaught
and the islands lying few miles off
the coast in the Atlantic ocean the
''poteen workin' is carried on to
great extent. Here the people have
changed little during the past one
hundred years, and few of the common
conveniences of modern civilization
are known. An instance of this back
wardness is illustrated above, where a
woman sits grinding oats for poteen in
a quern, the same crude mill that was
used in the Holy Land in Biblical
times, and is still used in that coun-
try. The quern is simply two stones
fitted together. A hole in the top stone
receives the grain, which is pre-
pared for grinding by being dried
over the turf fire in an iron
pot. BY turning the top stone the
grain is passed through the stones, and
finally falls from the rough sides into
a white cloth spread on the ground
