Short Term Convicts Who Have Work
ed Out Portion of Sentence on Roads.
Governor Aycock yesterday pardoned
wo short term convicts. They were Ed
ward F. Littleton, of Onslow, and Glomer
Kearney. of Granville. Both men were
convicted of assault with deadly weapons,
and sentenced to serve terms of twelve
and ten months on the roads.

Ommendation of the solicitor. Hon.
Rudolph Duffy and 10 citizens CT Ons-
low county, including the sheriff. the
Board of County Commissioners and many
other county officers, past and present.
His family need his services, and the
solicitor is of the opinion that the punish
ment already inflicted is as solitary as
the full punishment would be. Llttleton
was sentenced at the January term of
court.
kearney was sentenced at the July
term of court, 1901. A great number of
the citizens OF Granville county recon-
mended his pardon. He had served
eiught months of the term and it was
thought his punishment was sufficient
To turn him out now would enable him
TO make crop this year whereas If he
served out his full term, he would have
nothing to do at the end of the time.

RAIN Sunday was beautiful spring

as those that strewed palms in the tri-

AT CHRIST CHURCH.

Christ church was filled to the doors
at the morning services. On the altar
tall clusters of spear-like palms reared
their points upward against the purple
hangings of the Lenten season, and the
scene in the church was impressively
significant of the first Palm Sunday The
service was unusually prolonged, it being
also the occasion of the Bishops vista
ton for the purpose of administering the
ordinance of confirmation.
During the singing of the confirmation
hymn fifteen candidates approached the
altar rail and were presented by the
rector, Rev. DR.. Marshall, for the sa-
cred rite of laying on of hands After
the solemn service Bishop Cheshire deliv-
cred a short address to the newly con-
firmed in which the religious life as a
growth was especially emphasized. In his
sermon afterwards he dwelt particularly
on the various aspects of the Saviour S
sutferings and death, His sensiblity to
pain, and the agony He endured for the
sins of mankind.

An interesting relic of the district court
OF pioneer days has been found among the
effects Of the late Judge G. e. Wander
burgh by his son William H. Vanderburgh.
1t is the calendar for the November term,
1851 probably the only one In existence.
Those were days when the county COM
missioners were not obliged to worry
over bids for printing the calendar. The
clerk wrote them out with pen and ink.
This was not particularly onerous job,
for the calendar just found contains only
sixty-nine civil and fourteen criminal
cases. Still the calendar Is very neatly
ruled in red and blue ink and carefully
written.
The Judge OF the district was Charles
E.. Yanderburgh, and his jurisdic-
tion reached from Grow Wing
county on the north and Kan
diyohi on the west. w. w. McNail
was the prosecuting attorney for the
county and H. A. Partridge was the clerk

GREAT BUILDING YEAR
This Is Exclusive Of Over 100000
for Electrical Work and
Plumbing.

The grand total of the building opera
lions in Minneapolis in 1901, for which
permits were issued, was $6,020,967. There
were buildings erected costing about $780,
900 more for which the city council issued
special permits. The total for 1900 was
So, 943,774. -.
The 1901 total does not include plumb
ing and electrical construction in both
of which lines the tot ais were by far the
largest on record. Plumbing permits
called for an expenditure of $360,000, and
the electric permits for 1868, 00O an in
crease Of about 100000 in each depart
ment over the figures of the previous
year. The number of elvators of all de-
scriptions installed last year was ninety
nine, representing total cost Of Sal ,7SO
This Is included in the building figures.
It is a gain Of twenty-five over 1900.
The grand total in st. Paul, according
to the official figures of the building in
spectors office of that city, was Sc, 43l, 769.
To reach this formidable figure the de-
partment had to resort to several 1ngeni-
GUS devices. In the first place all plumb
ing and electrical construction work was
included; then 20 per cent was added for
"values withhold and finally another
liberal per cent was addedtyor buildings
for which no permits VERY taken out.
Prior to the adoption of the new. build
ing ordinance in September, large num-
Der Of permits were obtained for which
there is nothing to show in the way of
buildings, it is said. The purpose was to
get in under the old ordinance, on the
theory that the buildings might be put up
eventually. q, -

PERMITS TO PEDDLERS
THE MAYOR RENTS LICENSES
Each Recipient of Such FavOrs Must
Have u Hard Luck
Story. T.. .,...a.. ..

The present outlook is not at all favor
able to large revenue for the city THIS
year from peddlers' licenses. Beginning
with the new year free permits carrying
immunity from arrest for not more than
thirty days will be issued from the may
or's Office to all applicants who, in the
Judgment of the mayor or his secretary
cannot afford to pay the price named IN
the ordinance. To facilitate this prac-
tice new blank permit has been printed,
notifying the police department that the
holder has permission to peddle for GER
tain time and within certain territory
and stating that he is not to be inter-
fered with. In each case a reason Is
stated, and it also provides that the re-
cipient is not to interfere with business
houses or firms having for sale such ar
ticles as the permit holder sells. Already
four such permits have been issued this
year. Death in the family or sickness, or
poverty are the reasons given for except
ing the beneficiaries from the provisions
of the ordinance.
In justification for this action the
mayor claims that the practice has been
general with his predecessors, and his
purpose now in preparing a new blank is
but to systematizen the business. The
Office will continue to issue permits tc
peddlers for limited periods for the pro
rata part of the license fee and the same

alone it is not likely they will be inter
fered with. e..
