In an indirect way the recent death of
George Hayden. who was killed by a
train OF. the Washington County Rail
raod. Sept. 80, near PASSPORT, was laid
to the door of a saloon. about mile
out, where it was alleged only Uno beer
was sold. The accusation came out in
hearing held before Judge McFaul in
the PASSPORT municipal court, this
week, resulting from a seizure made at
the small store kept by Rena Oliver and
his brother. Hiram. The so-called
'Uno' was found on examination to
contain 5 per cent. alcohol and on the
strength of this Rena Oliver was fined
800 and costs and threatened with Jail
sentence if the respondent was brought
in again on the same charge. The young
prisoner has been totally blind for the
past Is years. Several witnesses were
heard on both sides and it was estab-
lished that Hayden, the unfortunate
man who met his death under the train,
was intoxicated when he left the Oliver
shop and started for home. but got out
of the road and soon followed up the
track. where he laid down and met his

EMINENT DOMAIN IN GUAM.
Atty. Gen. Knox Holds Constitution Did
Not Follow FLAG.

Washington. Sept. 30.-Attorney GCncr-
al Knox holds that the constitution die
not follow the flag in the case of the es
tabishmcnt of the United States Govern
ment in the island of Guam.
When the American naval colony was
originally established in Guam, with AID.
miral then Captain) Leary, as Governor
one of his assistants, Lieutenant w. +.
Stafford, obtained one of the few Sooo
dwelling houses on the island by purchase
from the owner. and improved it that
it became practically the most desirable
residence there. Governor Leary finally
decided that Lieutenant SaffOrds house
was needed by the government as an exc
cutive mansion and opened negotiations
for its purchase. The price asked. how
ever, he thought excessive. and when he
and Lieutenant Stafford could not agree.
Governor Ieary 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. n
nancial and otherwise. Ever since then
the case has been under consideration.
and finally became so complicated that II
was referred to the Attorney General fol
an opinion on the legal principles in
Volved.
The Attorney General has sustained the
action to Governor IIeary as being legal
under the peculiar circumstances of the
case. He holds that the constitution mas
not been extended to Guam by enactment
of Congress, and that the sole powers of
government in the island had been nee
essarily and properly committed by the
President to the Naval Governor, ana In
appropriatine the property of Lieutenant
Stafford he was entirely within his author
ity in the exercise of the right OF eminent
domain. and that the United States has
a clear and valid title to the property IN
dispute. He holds that the Treasury can
lawfully allow the owner the price paid
for the property by order of the Governor
OF the island.

time Sewing Circle" The course of
study is one of deep interest from start
to finish and the year is looked forward
to with keen enjoyment.
In view of the coming meeting oil
the State Federation the following
enumeration of the requisite quallnca-
tions of women who serve on COM
mittees will be of interest. They were
compiled by Mrs j. L. Buxton IN the
International Messenger, the oHlclal
organ of the Womens and Young Wo-
mems Christian Association. and are
worthy of perusal by committee wo-
men of all organizations. For any
committee there is needed. she says:
First-The woman who is willing to
lead. not the woman who has to be
carried.
Second-The woman who is willing to
work, not the woman who complains
of it.
Third-The woman who forgets her
own individuality in her enthusiasm
for the work. not the woman who is
constantly sounding the personal note.
Fourth-The woman who has the
courage to assume responsibility and
brave criticism, not the woman who is
fearful because of possible failure and
Wits under adverse opinion.
Fifth-The woman who thinks it her
duty to have opinions and offer sugges-
tions in the discussion of ways and
means, not the woman who is silent
and non-commital. but afterward
critically wonders why wiser measures
were not adopted.
Sixth-The woman who, when she
makes a mistake. frankly acknowledges
it and, undismayed, sets about remedy
ing it, knowing that she who never
makes mistake seldom makes any,
thing else.
Seventh-The woman who gives
earnest thought to the business in hand
not the woman who enters the COM
mittee room airily and late. and the
moment the meeting adjourns claims
the attention of the women on some
matter foreign to the subject under
consideration ere she departs on her
interrupted pursuit of the fashionable
Celebrations of life.
Eighth-The woman who understands
that associated work will not succeed If
NCiiNoNlSu III Jooe lllC way lllulN luuot
effort is, and therefore pays due heed
to parliamentary law and practice and
has regard TO parliamentary courtesy in
her intercourse with her associates.
Ninth-The woman who is steadfast
and can be relied upon when difficulties
| arise, not the woman who gladly avails
herself of some excuse for being absent
when knotty problems must be solved
Tenth-The woman who is an in
spiration to the discouraged, not the
woman who is timid and yields to the
counsels of the faithless.
Eleventh-Not the woman who con-
siders the cause honored by her identi-
fcatiOn with it, but the one who be-
lieves it is Gods work, and that she is
happy in being counted worthy to en-
gage in it.
Twelfth-Not the woman who is in
different or obtuse, but the one who
clearly discerns the spiritual purposes
in the work, and who undertakes it in
q spiritual frame of mind

A RAPID C0URTSHIP.

Marry in haste, repent at leisure, is
good" she said, according to the New
York Tribune. II know of several short
transactions of the kind that have turn
ed out remarkably well, one of which
was the shortest courtship have eyer
heard of. To oblige my husband, 1
asked the daughter of Western bust
ness friend of his to make me a short
visit. The night she arrived we had a
large dinner on, and, as | did not ex-
pect her until the following day, | had
to write note to man | knew very
well and ask him to take her in to
dinner. She arrived just about tea
time, and / never saw a more COM
posed young woman. She was decid-
eddy pretty. Very-what we would call
Western, and particularly we'll gown
ed. do not think she had ever been
to a regular dinner party in her life,
but she took everything for granted
and asked that her trunks might be
sent up to her room as soon as they
arrived, so that she could be ready at
8. The trunks came all right, but 8
o'clock arrived, and my beauty did not
appear. One guest after another came
in rapid succession, until all the guests
with the exception of Miss = had
put in an appearance. Just as every
one was becoming impatient, in she
sailed like a princess, and created quite
a sensation. introduced Harry R.,
the man 1 had asked especially for her,
and then we all went in to dinner.
There were too many people for gem
eral conversation, and as Miss 2
and her companion, were seated at the
end of the table / saw nothing of them,
and you may imagirfe my surprise when
Miss 3 came up to me when we
went into the drawing room and held
up her finger with Harry Rs ring
upon it. They told me afterward that
they were engaged that evening, but
that I cannot believe; but at all events,
il was only a week later that they
formally announced their engagement,
and they were married month later.
That was nearly ten years ago, and, as
far as / know, they have been happy
ever since"

WHEN HE GOES SHOPPING.

1t has been suggested by not In
competent authority that woman was
sent into the world to buy things, and
that man was intended to wait outside
the shop door until the time arrived
for paying the bill, when he was al
lowed to take a hand in the game by
meekly and promptly cashing up, says
the New York Commercial Advertiser.
This view of the case seems to be
supported by the undeniable fact that
a woman, the moment she finds herself
inside a shop, seems to be, as it were,
upon her native heath; whereas a man,
in any sort of shop except tobaccon-
lists, wanders sadly around like a lost
soul, covering beneath the benign eye
of the fioorwallSer, and shrinking from
the questioning glance of the Sales
lady" who puts the familiar question:
Are you being waited on?"
It is, in fact, in shop that the in
nate shyness which every man has in
herited from his first parent Adam
comes out most strongly, and defles all
ordinary attempts at concealment.
Take, for instance. the case of the
young man who, in the first moment of
beatific ecstacy that follows an effec-
tual proposal, goes into jewelers.

WALKING BAD FOR CHILDREN.

A great many children have crooked
legs because their mothers or nurses
endeavor to make them walk before
their limbs are strong enough to bear
the weight of their bodies without in
jury, says the Chicago Record Herald.
The inexperienced mother takes a pride
in seeing her offspring making at
tempts to walk, and often forces the
little one to stand in spite of the very
obvious protestations of nature. Nurses,
too, when taking their charges out for
an airing, often force them to walk sim
ply to save themselves the trouble of
carrying them.
Baby carriages are often to be bIam-
ed for some of the crookedness of the
limbs of the rising, as well as the risen.
generation. In this instance the child
is wheeled about until it is many
months old and its body is developed,
while the legs remain inactive. The
result is that when the child is at last
made to bear the weight on its recreant
limbs they, being very soft, bend I'M
der the unaccustomed pressure.
Young bones consist chiefly of carti-
laginous material, and are at this stage
bent with comparative ease, and, hav-
ing little elasticity, become readily set.
Children should be allowed to creep as
much as they like. and when their limbs
are fit to bear their weight they will
begin of their own accord to make at
tempts to walk.
In any case, walking is not an exer-
