BEAVERS HEARING ADJOURNED.


NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-The examina ton
of George w. Beavers on the Brooklyn in
dietment in the postal investigation was
again adjourned to-day by United States
Commissioner Hitchcock until Oct. >, when
the contempt proceedings against Postoffice
Inspector Little, for refusing to obey a SUBJ
poena, will have been argued
1t is claimed by the defense that sub
poena was served on Inspector Little To at
tend the second Beavers hearing as a wit
ness in their behalf, but that the inspector
ignored the process and since that date has
kept out of the way. United States District
Attorney Burnett said he thought the de-
Tense should be compelled to state what the
materiality Of the evidence expected to be
established by Inspector Little was, but
Commissioner Hitchcock decided that as he
already had been served with a subpoena
by the defense no such statement was need
ed at that juncture. An adjournment was
accordingly taken.
Beavers was also formally arraigned on
the first Washington indictment, which
charges him with conspiracy with the CO.
lumbia Supply Company which furnished
the large iron boxes used for receiving
packages and papers. The defense admitted
Beavers's identity, but gave notice to the
prosecution that they intend to object to the
sufficiency of the indictment, and that they
would, on or before Sunday next. file briefs
with the commissioner. pointing out their
objections and the legal reasons therefor.

whines at everything. Whine, whine
whine. 1t is just habit he has fallen into
There is nothing the matter with him. 1t is
just bad habit.
The wilmer is generally an idle person or
a lazy one What he needs is to be set TO
work-at real hard work. mental or physi-
cal. Some work that will interest him and
engage his whole attention and he will not
have time to whine. We know two women.
One of them does her own homework and
takes care of her horse besides. She is
happy and singing all the, day long. The
keyboard of her life sounds no whining
note. 1t is a pleasure to be with her, q
good, wholesome tonic to watch her The
other woman is situated that she does
not have TO work. Nothing to do but to
interest in anything. She is a bunch of
selfshness and whines at everything. Whin-
ing has become such q habit with her that
her most casual remark is tinged with a
whine. She is miserable herself and makes
everybody else in her presence miserable.
heavy weight somebody all the time.
Get the whine out of your voice or it Will
stop the development and growth of your
body. 1t will narrow and shrink your mind.
1t will drive away your friends; ii will
make you unpopular Quit your whining
for something; fill your place in the uni
verse. Instead of whining around, exciting
only pity and contempt, face about and
make something of yourself. Reach up to
the stature of strong, ennobling manhood,
TO the beauty and strength of a superb
womanhood.
There is nothing the matter with YOU
Just quit your whining and go to work.

DID NOT FOLLOW THE FLAG
CONSTITUTION HAS NOT YET BEEN
EXTENDED TO GUAM.
Opinion of the Attorney General
Given i'm Connection with n Con-
troversy Over "a House.

WASHINGTON, Sept 25.-According to
the attorney general. the Constitution did
not follow the flag in the case of the estab-
lishment of the United States government
in the island of Guam. When the American
naval colony was originally established in
Guam, with Admiral (then captain) Leary
as the supreme power, one of his assistants
Lieut.. W. f. Stafford, obtained one of the
very few good dwelling houses on the island
by purchase from the owner. and improved
1t to such an extent that it became prac-
tically the most desirable residence there
Governor Leary finally concluded that Lieu
tenant Safford's house was needed by the
government an executive mansion, and
opened negotiate for its purchase. The
price asked. however, the Governor thought
excessive. and when he and Lieutenant SAT-
ford could not agree Governor Learyf finally
condemned the premises for government
purposes and took possession.
Lieutenant Stafford made vigorous pro-
test against this summary proceeding, and
appealed TO Washington for redress, finan-
cial and otherwise. Ever since then the case
has been under consideration, and finally
became so complicated that il was referred
to the attorney general for an opinion.
The attorney general has sustained the
action of Governor Leary as being legal UNI
der the peculiar circumstances. In his opin-
ion the attorney general holds that the Con-
stitution has not been extended to Guam
by congressional enactment. and that the
sole power of government has been neces-
sarily and properly committed by the Pres
ident TO the naval Governor, and that in APP
propriating the property of Lieutenant SAT-
ford he was entirely within his authority in
the exercise of the right of eminent domain
and that the United States has clear and
valid title to the property in dispute. He
holds the treasury can lawfully allow the
owner the price paid for the property by
order of the Governor of the island.
Admiral Leary has died, and Lieutenant
Stafford has resigned from the navy to ac-
cept position under the Agricultural De-
partment.
