In the House on Tuesday morning
Mr.. Aull called up his bill to reor
ganizc the dispensary constabular,
system.
Mr.. Laney moved to strike out th'
enacting words.
Mr. Aull explained the provision:

will not do away With the governors

the seizures: expense, etc.
Mr.. DeBruhl opposed the bill as it
provides for a new oIliue an: gives the
chief constable much latitude in ap-
proving expense accounts.
Mr.. Tatum thought the governor
should be given the machinery with

constable would save the State ten
times more than his salary if he were

Immediately 60 through that vo!umin-
GUS correspondence.
Mr.. Pollock told Of the manifold du-
ties OF the governor who ought to be
relieved Of passing upon every little
claim for liquor seized by constables.
The governor will still be the respon-
sihle head.
Col. Moses and Col. Towill favored
the bill The latter declared that the
present law makes the governor con-
Stabulary clerk. He stated his SIN
cere belief that the present governor
wants to enforce the law.
Mr.. Pollock also favored the bill.
Mr.. Nichols thought the district
chief constables could do this work
and save the salary OF the proposed
Office.
AIr. Bowling thought this would be
removing the responsibility from the
governors Office, and be objected. If
there is too much work tr be done,
Why not get another clerk in the gov
ernOr's oificc to Stt out the cores
pondence?
The motion to strike out the enact
ing words failed by vote of 33 to IS.
The bill provides for a chief consta-
bic at salary Of 1880 a year, and
expenses. The chief constable, with
the advice of the governor, is autho-
rized to appoint one or more State
constables at a salary of 81 per day
and expenses, seven assistant chief
conStableS at salary Of So per day
and expenses, and one or more detec-
tiveS at reasonable compensation
The expenses OF the chief constable
are to be approved by the governor
and the expenses OF the subordln-
ates are to be approved by the chief.
I he latter is to have an Office at the
State dispenSary, The proposed
bond Of the chief constable is to 81, 900;
and of the subordinates $500 each.
Salaries and expenses are to come out

Mr.. Aull proposed an amendment
that the governor and not the chief
constable should appoint the Subordi-
mates, but this was rejected and the
original bill passed intact.

Bros. HinSon was j horse dealer WHO
worked at Pates & Aliens livery

The two men had been together for
several hours and apparently there WAS
no cause for the trouble which arose
over the purchase Of a bottle Of liquor
that Goodwin had in his possession.
They had crossed the street in the
presence Of several persons. and Good
win had walked ahead some dis
tance when Hinson called after him
and said he must have some Of it, sup
posed to be the liquor.
Goodwin had gone about 30 feet
from Hinson, when he turned around
and drew his pistol, firing tue first
shot in the air and then in straight
line fired directly at HinSon, the
second shot striking Hinson in the
left breast aad going through the
heart. He died almost Instantly and
was carried into the office Of Thack-
ston s. Son. Goodwin Immediately
surrendered to a policeman and was
afterwards taken to jail. He is well
connected and has been regarded very
favorably since he came here from the
country.
Hinson has been living here for
several years, but went back occasion

81 years old and strong, athletic

Does College Education Paw?

Desiring to know whether a college
education for women pays" the AS
ISOLATION of College Women recently
sent out circular letters to the alum
nae of various colleges, the replies to
which are interesting.
OF 451 graduates replying 23S receive
less than SIo month, and 165 receive
from S75 TO $500 and over. The range
of teachers salaries is very wide, 81
receiving less than $50 month. "a
receive from $50 to So. AZ receive from
S15 to 500, % receive from 500 to
$500, one 5000 and one over $500. This
seems to show a profit on the invest
ment. Women without education sell
dom earn as much as 500 a month.
But many of these reported to the as
ISOLATION have very much larger in

But it should be remembered that
education for either men or women is
not merely matter of money getting.
A well trained mind is no less useful
for women who choose home career
than for those who become breadwin-
ners. A woman of educa ton is pretty
apt TO be more capable wife and
mother than one of inferior mental at.
tainments, as 1t can hardly be denied
that personal power is augmented by
the store of knowledge and sharpened
understanding which are obtained in
college.

Why is sailor Jean" going to all
this trouble? Because he has fallen a
victim to the universal desire to be an
author He explains it in this wise:
Il had observed that most people
who wrote stories of travel journeyed
over the country in first class coaches.
They visited only the great cities and
points of known interest. They are pi-
loted around by guides, from whom
they acquire most of their information.
Their stories are of beaten paths and,
dress them as artistically and original
ly as they may, they are only telling a
tale that has been told. While making
no particular, claim to superiority in
writing, | thought by assuming the
| garb of n sailor and travelling as one

! get closer to nature and her children

His schedule requires him to report in
Topeka, Kan, in the spring. He is to
go on foot the entire distance, except in
crossing streams, where ferries are the
only method.

Governmental Red Tape.

Governmental red tape Is rather Id
dlcrously illustrated by a remarkable
bit of circumlocution which has Just
come TO an end concerning an army
mule formerly employed in building all
iron pier at Lewes. Del. The mule.
which actually died some thirteen
months ago, has now been acknowl-
edged legally dead by the war depart
ment. The animals public career be-
gan in 1871, and after ten years OF
faithful service he was turned loose on
Pea Patch island, where he was per-
nitted to become sort OF recluse.
For ten years, 1t appears from the rec
ord. he lived a hermit life, browsing
in the Pea Patch. By that time he
had become decrepit. The comman'
dant of Fort Delaware, which Is on Pea
Patch island, decided to put the mule
out of his misery and ordered the quar-
termaster to attend TO the execution.
This was done. 1t seemed simple
enough, but before long the Uniteu
States engineer in charge of the Della.
ware river improvements found the
mules name or number on list of the
property turned over to him by his
predecessor.
AS the mule was by that time only a
memory, and not the engineers mem
DRY at that, he did not wish to be re
sponsible for the creature. He there
| fore wrote to the chief of engineers at
Washington for authority II drop the
hermit mule from his list. With his
request he sent the quartermaster's
certificate that the commandant had
ordered the mule to be shot The
chief engineer forwarded this to the
office of the secretary of war. Here al
important omission was discovered.
The record showed only that the mule
was ordered to execution. not that be
had been executed This would never
do, so the certificate went back to the
chief of engineers, from him to the EN-
gineer at the Delaware river improve
ments, from him to the quartermaster
who added this essential line; Accord.
ingly the mule was shot and buried on
Pea Patch island" Then 1t went to
the Delaware river engineer. to the
chief of engineers, to the secretary OF
war, back to the chief of engineers and
then for the last time to the Delaware
river engineer. who crossed Off the
mule from his books.
The system would seem to be devised
on the theory that mules are immortal
Unless the government experts discov
er means of making this theory ar
actually Uncle Sam should be little
less reticent to admit that one of his
army mules has given up the ghost.

Pension For Aged Professors.

In his annual report President Faunce
of Brown university urges system OF
pensions for professors retired by rea-
son Of age. He calls attention to the
fact that Harvard university allows a
professor who has been in active serv-
ice for twenty years or more TO retire
after sixty on from one-third to two
thirds of his salary. Yale allows half
a salary after sixty-five, as does Co
lumbia. Cornell retires at seventy.
Amherst is arranging a similar plan.
The United States retires its navy OIL
GERS at sixty-two, its army officers ut
sixty four, and President Faunce might
have added the time is apparently APP
preaching when the government will
have TO choose between retiring pen
sions for its civil servants or depart
ments clogged with men inefficient
from old age. Now that removals are
few, men remain in office indefinitely,
and every department head at Wash
ington is embarrassed by faithful gov
eminent servants whose days Of serv-
ice are passed, but for whom the gov
ernment makes no provision in pen
sion.
In industrial lines the same principle
is taking shape. The Erie railroad has
recently adopted a rule forbidding new
engagements of men who are older
than thirty-ive and dropping all those
recently employed who are above this
age. This plan includes a pension sys-
TEN for super1nnuated employees who
have spent their lives in the company's
service. The Pennsylvania some time
ago put such a system in operation.
! AS the pace of modern industry and
the pressure of modern life increase
there is increased difficulty for men of
| advanced age to get and hold places
More and more industry gravitates to-
ward an organization in which men
are worked to the utmost during the
active years. After this period Is over
