Mr.. Alers for the Commission.

Discussing the discussion of the Corpo-
ration Commission, which Governor Mon
tague will have to name at5an early date.
as required under the new Constitution,
the Lexington Gazette has the following
to say regarding the action of the Cen
eral Assembly at its recent session:
No more important positions could be
placed in the hands Of an appointing
power, and we are satisfied the Governor
fully appreciates the responsibility of his
action and must realize. that the people
Of Virginia look to him to give them
representative men, whose names will be
a guarantee to the people, as well as to
the corporal tons, that equal and exact
Justice will be meted out to all.
The Legislature at its last regular
session elected g new railroad commits
sioner to succeed General HIN. but whose
term of Office does not commence until
April j, 1908. under the provision of the
new Constitution which is now IN force.
The railroad commissioner was done away

CAN'T FIND A JUDGE
TO TRY haOLlNEUX.
Deaths and Retirement Reduces the
Supreme Court Bench Until There
is not a Judge Available.

NEW YORK, October 3.-Though Dis
trict Attorney Jerome and Mr.. Osborne,
his assistant, who has charge of the pro-
secution of Roland B. Molineux for the
murder Of Mrs. Adams, are ready to pro-
coed with the case next Monday, when it
is called in the Supreme Court, it is very
Improbable that the trial Of the celebrated
case will be begun at that time. Though
the whole of New York has been secured
for Supreme Judge to preside at the
trial, all efforts have been unsuccessful
and Mr.. Jerome fears that another
months delay will be the result
Judge Barrett, on whose calendar the
case was placed is still i'll, and it is GER
tain that he will be unable to go on the
bench. The death of Judge Russell ana
the retirement of Judge Fursman cuts
down the list of available Supreme Court
judges until there is none left
Mr.. Jerome said the fact that he canno,
find a judge to try Molineux, added to
the great number Of important cases yet
to be tried, will make a special term OF
the Supreme Court necessary, and he will
ask the Governor to convene one.

CAN SEE BRIDE
BUT TWICE A WEEK
Then 11-Ycar-OId Husband, VINO
Was Secretly Wed, Must Be

Was Secretly Wed, Must Be
Chnperoned.
NEW YORK, Oct. SIT was pure acct
dent that the Rev. Irving McElroy dis
covered yesterday that his pretty daugh-
ter Mary had been a bride since July 20
last. ~
It wouldn't have happened at all If
Mary hadn't given her sister her mar
riage certificate to keep. She would
have kept her secret until she and her
youthful husband got ready to tell all
about it. She wanted to share her happy
secret with her sister, SO she asked her
to keep the certificate and the cat was
let out Of the bag.
The result of the minister's discovery
is that now the young benedict is only
allowed to see his bride twice a week,
and that for. only a given length Of time
and under strict chaperonage. The young
people think it very hard, but Papa Nc
Elroy assures them that it will only last
until early in December, when the young
husband will be eighteen.
Then the Rev. Mr.. McE1roy says he
will see that the couple are remarked,
so that there cannot possibly be any
doubt of the validity Of the ceremony.
He thinks that the original ceremony
might be annulled on account of the
youth Of the bridegroom.
Harry Mackey, the groom, is only sew
cnteen. while Mrs. hlackey is twenty.
