NOT SECOND CLASS NATTER.
Rate Does Not Apply to Books Pub.
lished Periodically.

Washington, April 13.-The United
States Supreme Court has decided
that books published periodically are
not entitled to transmission through
the mails as second class matter. The
opinion was delivered by Justice
Brown and covered three cases against
the postmaster general, instituted re-
spectively by Houghton, Miffn & Co..
Smith and Others. and Bates 4 Oil.
The Chief Justice and Justice harlan
dissented.
The question decided has been the
subject of long controversy between
the POstOhice Department and the pub
fishers, both before Congress and in
tie department. For sixteen years.
and under eleven postmaster generals,
these publications. were carried as sec
ond class mail matter, though under
protest from the department, which
made many efforts to have the law
modified or repealed but without sue
cess. Failing in this, the postmaster
general issued an order in 1902 exciud-
ing the books from the second class
rate. Thereupon the matter was ta-
ken to the courts, the effect being that
the postmaster general was sustained
by the final decision just rendered.

Ourum Instead of Macaroni

A statement of the Department of
Agriculture says that it is important
for the farmer to note that the name
''durum" is likely to be largely used
for this wheat instead of the term
'macaroni" in future, especially in
commercial circles, and it is necessary
to become familiar with the term The
word durum is really the correct name
for this group of wheats. and besides
IL is now found that the name macaroni
is misleading as the wheat is already
known, from the results Of many trials,
to be excellent for making bread as
well as macarOni. On the other hand.
other kinds of wheat, as well as the
durum are often used for making mac
aroni. although the durums certainly
make the best product. The word dur
uIn means hard" and is therefore,
very appropriate, and being a short.
easy term. it ought to come al once
into use.

BY the Chief Of Police in
Denver

Denver April Blast night Azel
ID. Gaibraith and his paramour. Mrs.
IOttie Russell, were examined in the
ONCE of the chief Of police in the
presence OF District Attorney II. G.
Thurman OF Gilpin county and it was
decided that the preliminary hearing

Ing sentiment against the murderer is
not too strong there. Mrs. Russell

cessory. In any case she will have to
appear in Central City at the prelirn
fnary hearing. The trial will come up
In the Criminal Court in Central City

braith told the district attorney he

During the examination it came out
that Galbraith twice pawned his
wifes wedding ring. which he took
from her finger afte. he had murdered
her. to secure money with which TO
carous with Mrs, Russell. The ring is
now in Golden with a pawnbroker. For
the first time since his arrest Galbraith
broke down and lost the cold-b!ooded
idemeanor which has characterized him
Throughout. He had to be taken TO the
police surgeon for a stimulant. Mrs.
Russell was questioned in the presence
'oi Galbraith and showed plainly her
contempt for him, but his eyes hardly
ever wandered from her face and he
did not try to conceal his infatuatiOn
for her. Mrs Russell has engaged At
torney Milton Anfenger to guard her
interests.
''If you knew what | have done you
would not let me in your house" are
the words Mrs. Russell says Galbraith
addressed to her one night after the
murder. She says he was very drunk
and mad s'nt her note asking her to
get a carriage and call for him at a
saloon, She did so and after riding
around she took him to her home AS

The Arabian Horse.

While the Arabian horse is admitted
ly one of the most perfect of equine
types as to conformation, quality and
bearing, there is no special field 50 far
as known, in which he is not excelled
by some other type bred for a special
purpose The thoroughbred can out
run him at any distance; tho trotting
bred horse can lose him at any har-
ness gait; the saddle bred horse OF
Kentucky is preferred for riding, the
little range bred broncho for polo and
for military purposes, and for heavy
draught the Perchcron. Clydesdale or
Shire horse. AS the horse Of art and Of
romance the Arabian stands alone, but
for practical purposes he has not yet
gained distnction.-New York Herald

Denver Election Cases Dismissed.

Denver. April 12.-Judge Palmer OF
the District Court yesterday ordered
dismissed the criminal proceedings in
stituted by the League of Honest Elec-
tions against twenty persons charged
with crimes against the ballot in the
recent charter election on the ground
that these elections were special cleo
tions under the law and that there Is
no law applicable to special elections
in Denver; and for the further ground
that Judge Johnson of the District
Court, sitting as a committing magts-
trate. was required to grant change
of venue to the defendants.
The decision is accepted by the Hon
est Election League as blow to most
of its labors for which there does not
appear to be a remedy as was found in
the case where the same court ordered
down the bars against women entering
saloons on the ground that they were
deprived of their constitutional pr1vi-
leges. Attorney Hoyt of the league
characterized the opinion of the court
as one that placed special elections un-
der a state of anarchy.

yesterday and Mr.. Cleveland was with
drawn. Mr.. Cleveland also had himself
placed on record. He wrote to Repre-
sentative Bartlett of Georgia a letter
which Mr.. Bartlett read. in which he
said:

ing or waking. alive or dead, on my
head or on my heels, dined. Iunched

ception. any coiored man, woman or
child"
Mr.. Cleveland also denied that he
signed the bill as governor of the
state of New York abolishing separate
schools for coored children. This de-
nial was presented by Mr.. Bartlett.
After Mr.. Bartlett had placed the
letters in the Congressional Record
he exclaimed that Mr.. Cleveland need.
ed no defense at his or any one else's
hand. Mr.. Cleveland he said, was not
to be the Democratic nominee for the
presidency.
Every one in the country knows
who is to be the nominee" he con
ciuded.
