King Peter I of Servia is placed in
difficult position. He owes his throne
to those who assassinated King Alexan-
der; to punish them, therefore would
smack of ingratitude. And yet the
new King cannot afford to compromise
with murder. To palate the crime of
the murderers would make him an ac-
cessory to it. He has intimated that
he will insist on their Punishment. That
seems inadequate punishment for one
Of the bioodiest assassinations in the
history Of Europe; and yet It is diff
cult to see how King Peter can de-

The investigation into the affairs of
the New York postoffice by a special
grand jury, which is going forward
this week, is expected to show some
rather sensational facts in connection
with the management Of the postal es-
adjustment. The grand jury will in
quire into the why's and hows of Post
master Van Colts automobile, paid for
out of government funds: into the ap-
pointments Of his son and his sons
brother-in-law to sinecures in the New
York postoffiee; into the payment of
certain sums, said to aggregate $12, 500,
to certain politician by manufactur-
ing concern that sold goods to the New
York pOstoffice. and into the carrying
on the New York Office pay rolls of at
least three persons who rendered no
equivalent to the government for the
salaries, received by them. 1t seems,
in short, from the prima facie evidence
that Postmaster Van Colt has exer-
cised an extraordinary pun with the
department, getting pretty nearly
everything he wanted for himself, his
family and his friends.

How much of a heavyweight an ad-
miral of the navy really is, is mat
ter not generally appreciated by the
public. The bald statement that the
presence of an admiral on 2 battleship
adds fifty tons to the weight of the
craft may sound like an exaggeration,
yet that is precisely what the navy ex-
perts figure on and make allowances
for. AS a matter of course the ad-
niral does not weigh all that himself.
but he must be accompanied by a staff
of gold-laced and ample girthed gen.
tlemen, his aides and secretaries. In
addition he must have provided for his
use, in case of need, number of
books, instruments and flags, all of
which are inseparable from the dig
nifty of his office. Furthermore he
must have a launch for his private use.
and two bath tubs, one of the latter for
himself and the other for the guests
entertained by him. When all OF
these men and things that must go
with the admiral are taken into ac-
count, 1t will be seen that fifty tons
weight is a moderate estimate. Re-
Gently the navy experts have been try
ing to reduce this weight by cutting
out of the equipment everything that
the admiral could do without. At last
advices they had succeeded in elm
mating the extra bath tub.

Clever Female Politician.

Miss J.. N. Strong, private secretary
to ex-Congressman Hawley of Texas,
Is credited with being the cleverest
female politician ever seen in Wash

county in Texas, knows every man OF

to nearly all details Of federal patron
age there. 1t Is related OF her that
she once went to see a cabinet officer
In regard to a place for a Texas con-
stituent. Tie official was not disposed
to give the place to her applicant, but
in a pleasant and courteous manner
said: II am sorry to dlsappoint you
after looking into such pretty brown

the quick answer, that the ayes
ought to have it, The cabinet officer
was so pleased with the retort that
he made the appointment.

After milking was over and the

whistling. But the whistle froze upon
his lips as he stepped over the yellow
painted doorsill. He dropped into his

Joe had dragged himself up to his
room the old man opened the envelope
and read the letter.
