 We would ask Judge Wickersham; what was this grand jury for? and why were it's members so hampered in doing their official duties? There are mary connecting links in the chain of Judge Wickersham' administrative connect ions that certainly demand rigid Sen atorial investigation-L1N LINK BY LINK.

for the meals furnished. This profit went from the government treasury in.. to the pockets of Deputy marshal George ~Dreibelbis, who was at the same time receiving salary of $2,000 per year from the government for services as deputy marshal at Rampant.
 It-has been generally understood that government employees were prohibited from being interested in any kind. of supply contracts with the government, nor to speculte directly or indirectly, at the expense of the government for ger sonal profit. Citizens who comply with the laws in conducting their mercantile establishments, have the right to de- lnand recognition in all public matters touching their line of business. If it is the intention of the officials to establish the system of fevaing prisoners contined in federal jails in AlasAa, as that adop- Jel by penetentiaries; then the supplies should be furnished by the lowest res ponsible bidder, and the profit to the deputy marshal discontinued. On the other hano, ltcooked toou Is contracted for, on a basis ot profit over actual cost, then the contractor should be the lowest responsible bidder residiug- at the point where the jail Is situated.
 inc same rule is applicable on this fine, as is adopted in furnishing the wood supply. If the ruling comes from the department of justice, that United States marshals in Alaska shall have the exclusive privilege of feeding the prisoners confined in the different jails of their respective divisions, it is right and proper that deputy marshals of the different precincts should feed the pri- soners, and receive whatever stated price the government agrees to pay. But it seems that such a ruling is an unjust one. It is certainly not on the line of equal rights to all for the gov ernment to employ an official at salary of 5000 per annum, and then grant him, as perquisite, an exclusive .mon- opoly of furnishing the government certain line of supplies, at 1uctuating profit to himself alone

 SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3l, 1904
 THERE is considerable discussion at the present time, over the matter of an elective administrative territorial form of government for Alaska, in which the present current expenses of the Dis trict are quite extensively considered. It is a well-known fact that some of our federal officials are not administer ing the affairs of their respective offices with a conscience of. economy. By the inauguration of little more, public spirited executive ability, the present expenses could be considerably decreas- ed. Take, for instance, the system as adopted by the United States marshal's office for feeding the prisoners confined in the federal jail at Rampant.
 Here the deputy marshal has the ex- clu i've privilege of feeding the prison CTS confined in the federal jail on ba- sis of profit over actual cost. With no expense to- himself in the way of rent, license, lights, fuel, or water, and with the jailor, who IS paid salary of $I50 per month by the government; cooking the meals, for the prisoners; the deputy marshal receives, from the government $l for each meal furnished. This is the highest price charged the public, for good square meal, by the first-class res taurants of Rampant, under heavy ex- penses, such as government license, rent, cooks, lights, fuel, and water.
 Take these necessary expenses away from these restaurants, and surround them with the same conditions as the deputy marshal; with help furnished by the government, and they can furnish the prisoners with as good, if not better meals for Scents, than Deputy mar shal George Dreibelbis did for $i. Dur- ing the winter of 1902-3, the expense for feeding the prisoners confined in the federal jail at Rampant, cost the governmenc Y5uO per month more than the actual cost 70 lne deputy marshal

NO CONTINUOUS" FOR
"MADAME DU BARRY"
Mrs. Carter Refused to Perform at
Four Hour Matinee and Act at Niaht.

ATLANTIC CITY, May 81. Mrs.
Leslie Carter refused to play ''Du
Barry" at a matinee here. The
house was sold out, and $1-500 in cash
was in the box Office.
Where is my dressing room?" she
asked on entering the theater.
Mrs. Carter was personally con-
Quoted to that apartment.
This is a nice little room for my
trunks, but want to go to my dressing
room," she said.
The actress was informed that She
was to use the "star" dressing room
shown her.
She positively declined to dress in
such 4 small room. A new carpet was
laid and more space secured. When
she learned the curtain would not ring
up until 3:15 o'clock she made things
hum.
'Du Barry runs three hours and a
half. On the small stage here it
would take four hours. Mrs. Carter
declined to conclude a matinee at 7
O'Clock and begin an evening perform
ance an hour later. David Belasco was
sent for. He sustained Mrs. Carters
decision.
In anticipation of the performance
ending about daybreak, a number of
people brought luncheon with them at
tonights performance to eat between
the acts.

PALERMO HAS MYSTERY
IN A SEVERED HEAD
Found Impaled on Pest, It Is Labelled
as That of Notorious Brieand.

Special Foreign Service.
ROME, May 21.-Fronn Sicily comes
a CHASTITY story reminiscent Of the mid
die ages.
Last Thursday morning a mans head
IN an advanced state of accommodation
was found impaled on a post outside
the walls of Palermo. Attached to the
post was a card bearing the words.
This is the head of the infamous
brigand Varsalona."
This curious discovery was made on
the property of a certain Baron Aniello
VINO took prominent part in the trial
or the notorious Varsalona two months
ago for murder and offered a large re-
ward for his capture.
When the daughters Of the brigand
were confronted with the head. one de-
clared it was that of her father, but
the other denied it. The brigand's
sweetheart, however, recognized the
head by the filling in a front tooth.
Great excitement prevails in Sicily
as the result of this strange occur
renee. The inhabitants in the neigh
borhood are divided into two parties,
one believing in the death of the fa-
nous bandit and the other declaring
the event to be merely another trick to
make the police believe that he is dead
In order that he may continue to rob
undisturbed.

JACOBS, THE SlEUTH,
Split HIS MAKEUP
Jerome's Detective Has All His
DISCUSSES Scattered by a
Stout Woman.

NEW YORK, May 21.-A short,
stout man, wearing heavy black
mustache and a broad grin on his
sunburnt face, was on an uptown
bound Fourth avenue car last night.
He was accompanied by two friends
They carried large bundle between
them.
A stout woman boarded the car as it
turned into the Bowery She fell on
top of the bundle and the three men
began to yen as though a murder had
been committed.
The other passengers laughed when
they saw wigs, false boards, clothes as
scriptions and full outfit of ladies'
underwear spread all over the floor of
the car.
Jacobs" said one of the men to the
short stout man with the heavy mus
tache, II hope nobody will find out
what you have dropped"
IF Jerome knew he'd go Wild" said
the other man.
The man addressed as Jacobs picked
up the wigs, false boards, underwear
md other articles and tried the best to
do them up in a bundle again.
What is all this about?" asked a
policeman, who had just boarded the
car in time to witness the accident.
Never mind, officer" said one of the
men of the party. This is his ward
robe, his disguises. If that fat lady
had not bursted the bundle nobody
would have found out that Jacobs is
getting ready to go out on his secret
missions again."
The three Jerome sleuths, false
boards, wigs and undergarments left
the car at Houston street.
This was the first official notification
that Jacobs, who got into Canfeld's
gambling house last fall, is at work
again.

FAREWELL HANDCLASP
AWAKENS GIRLS HEART
One of chicago's Fairest Is Made
Aware of Young Mans Love.

PARIS, May 81. = There was a re-
markable scene at the St Lazarr8
railway station yesterday, ending in a
rapturous hug and kiss on the part of
young man and an American girl
Just as the train for Cherbourg was
pulling out the young man ran up to
the last car. at the door of a cornpart-
ment of which stood the girl, styIishly
gowned, her face wreathed in smiles.
Won't you say good-by to me ?'
cried the young man.
Gladly, my boy replied the girl, in
shrill soprano.
She held her hand out of the open
window, and the man grasped it as he
ran alongside of the moving train With
a powerful grip he pulled her out on
the platform, and they rolled overNtwo
or three times. The girl got up in tears
and indignation. Then she got a look
at the swain and saw something in his
eyes.
Why, Dick, you love mel" she ex-
claimed gleefully, and she tumbled
into his arms with all the emphasis in
her
That ended the episode SO far as the
public was concerned, for the twain
disappeared in a waiting carriage, but
there is reason to believe that there
will soon be work for a parson in their
behalf. If, indeed, there has not been
already.
The girl is said to be one of Chi
cago's fairest.

PLAINTIFF WINS IN
COURT UNDER TREE
Justice Joseph Drove to Street
Tribunal in Hanson and
Stood on Step.

NEW YORK, May 21-Not since
Alexander cut the Gordian knot has
rough and-ready justice enjoyed such
a triumph as it scored in Harlem yes
terday morning. The White Glover
the city Of New York, S., was the
loser of $155.SO.
Justice Herman Joseph, Of the York
vile district court, invented the new
est and shortest way of arriving at the
truth. One of the wagons of the dairy
company had its top knocked off by
low hanging branch of a maple tree in
front of sos East One Hundred and
Twenty fourth street. Experts dis
agreed as to the height of the limb
from the pavement.
"We1l see," said Justice Joseph; sac
tually and physically see."
Three hundred citizens had assem-
bled in East One Hundred and Twen-
ty-fourth street when Justice Joseph
rolled up in a hanson at a. m. Six
policemen from the East One Hundred
and Twenty-sixth street station pushed
back the crowd and told it to "g'wan
out O. this and giviz honor a chance"
The court poised himself on the bot
tom step of the house and gave the
command Come on" A man from the
city surveyors Office drew straight
chalk line just one foot from the curb,
closer than which no wagon should be
driven.
George A. Young, who drove the
same wagon with the same horses at
a. m. last Nov. 10, when the accident
happened, told the horses to giddap.
They giddaped on the opposite side of
the street. turned in & broad arc and
approached the fatal tree.
So intent was George A. Young on
playing his part true to life that he
forgot the danger of knocking the new
top off of his wagon. He was guiding
his team straight toward the danger
spot when score of voices yelled
"Hey! hey!" and a bold youth leaped
out and seized the brides just in time
to avoid a catastrophe.
There could be no doubt that the
maple limb is a peril to every COW
cred wagon that passes.
THE limb" said Justice Joseph, 'is
silent but most eloquent witness
No doubt it is a menace to traffic. This
place is out of the jurisdiction of the
court and 1 shall make no ruling here
This court stands adjourned to East
Fifty-seVenth street without delay
There his honor gave judgment in
favor of the plaintiff for $15580 with
costs against the city.

SERVANTS IN RUSSIA
= L Allowed to Testify Against
Their Employers.

y LONDON, May 21. = The Russian
servant is hired for one year, and is
told exactly what his particular duty
is to be. He then sticks to that one
duty. AS long as each servant faith
fully performs the special duties of his
position all is we'll; but the neglectful
butler, or cook, or cOachman is sent by
the employer with a written note to the
police judge. who, after carefully in
Vesugating the complaints, has a right
to order bodily punishment or to write
bad mark in the book kept for this
purpose.
In great Russian households often
from twenty to fifty servants are kept,
and even the middle class families have
two to four. The pay of these servants
varies according to the line of work
While the chefs" in the kitchens of
wealthy families often receive 81, 500
year, a cook in an ordinary citizens
employ gets no more than $50 a year,
and a maid of all work never gets more
than SIS a year. At Easter every ser
want gets present, generally suit or
dress.
Every other Sunday the servants in "a
Russian household are entirely free
Their work stops Saturday night after
supper, when the servants leave the
house, not to return until the next Mon
day morning. The employers never ask
Wnere or now the ffee time is spent.
Russian servants will pilfer Since
Russian ladies leave everything to the
care of the servants, the latter do as
they please.
The men servants smoke cigars be-
longing to their masters and pay fire.
quent visits to the wine cellars of the
house, but a gentleman would consider
1T "demeaning'' himself to prosecute a
servant for this.
The Russian servants will talk about
fellow servants, but never about their
Z employers. Even when they quit one
place and take service in another fam
lily they would never mention anything
about their former masters. This dis
cretion goes so far that even the law
considers it. In Russia the law eX-
cludes servants as witnesses against
their former or present employers, SO
long, at least, as these servants are not
suspected of having taken part in the
crime.

of this horse trade.

ME from Summit, N. J., to Morris
town when along came Tim" Mahan,
driving his dapple-gray mare. She was
so spirited that Bill" pulled up and
began to talk of horse trading. The
upshot Of it all was that Bill" got that
dapple gray by giving up Fannie J

to Morristown. He got sick of the bar

locked, took the animal to the public
pound and left it there.
The poundkeeper told the chief of

mayor, after reading up the law, said
the horse had not been impounded with
sufficient ceremony.
She amt much of a mare, if the
pound don't want her., said Mahan,
when he was notified to call and take
the gray away. So he drove the animal
around to Downey'S stable.
Downey hitched up and drove to
Summit and left the trotter at Tins
stable.
Some way or other the mare got into
a strange stable. The stable owners
told the police, the police told the So
ciety for the Prevention Of Cruelty to

and said that, aside from being for
