II VERY day witnesses the introduce
IL tion Of some new water project,
and every day The intest scheme is de-
clared to be impracticable. We have
had the services OF expert engineers,
but they have either been unable to help
us or we are constltutionally dlsquali-
fed for receiving any benefit from their
reports.
soon the Legislature will adjourn
and we suspect that then we shall be
told that nothing can be done until
another session OF that body occurs.
We are becoming alarmed and real
begin to fear that by nature the people
Of this city are disqualified as Ear as
ability to solve this problem is con-
cerned. And yet 1t is a question in
volving no great engineering prob
lens The water is here almost at our
doors, and the proper system OF puri-
fication Is understood.
More than this, the people II allowed
to vote would be utmost unanimous for
a new water system. There seems ic

No Plausible Motive For Crime.


San Francisco, March 3.--The news
received from Honolulu that strychnineI
had been discovered In the bicarbonate
of soda bottle from which Mrs. Stan
ford took a dose shortly before her
death, has convinced most of her
friends here that she was the victim
of poison, though many are reluctant
to admit that such could have been
the case. The apparent absence of a
plausible motive for such a crime baf-
fies her acquaintances, as well as the
detectives. Revenge or animosity are
not regarded as possible factors of the
question. and nothing has been shown
to indicate that desire to obtain an
expected Inheritance could have
prompted the deed
Acting Chief OF Police Spillane re-
ceived a cable dispatch from William
Henry. high sheriff of Honolulu, say
ing:
"The Stanford bottle of bicarbonate
Of soda contained 43 drahms 1862
grains) Of strychnine. An examination
of the organs is now under way
A medical expert said: Six hundred
and sixty-two grains OF strychnine
easily would kill 662 persons. The
maximum dose administered is only
one-hfteenth Of a grain, while the
average is one-fortieth Of a grain"
Mrs. Stanford did not leave so large
an estate as was supposed, for during
her lifetime she decided the property
she inherited from her husband to the
regents of Stanford University to be
held in trust for that institution after
her death. The last transfer of import
ance made by her was about three
years ago, when she made over her
magnificent residence in California
street and at the same time she prac-
tically gave to the regents Of the uni
)versity a trusteeship TO her jewelry,
which she. provided should be disposed
Of for the benefit Of Leland Stan
ford. Jr. University after her death.
OF those who 1t is presumed are
likely to receive a share of the estate
left by Mrs Stanford. it is generally
believed that Miss Jennie Lathrop and
her sister and brother, Hermione and
Leland Stanford Lathrop, the children
Of Charles Lathrop, VIII fare the best
for they were more frequently in her
company than the others. and deeply
interested Mrs. Stanford. Besides these
relatives. Mrs. Stanford is survived by
brother, Ariel Lathrop. Of Albany
n. " two nieces, one in New York
and the other IN Brooklyn, the daugh-
ters of a late brother, Daniel s. La
throp, and two nieces In Saratoga
That they have all been provided fol-
10 generally understood, for Mrs. Stan
ford had frequently remarked to friends
that while she did not see much Of hel
relatives in the east, she had not for
gotten thom and would remember them
IN her will.
Mountford Wilson, Mrs. Stanford:
attorney, and her brother, Charles
Lathrop. have stated tho Mrs. Stan
ford made her Will a few Months ago
but they have announced that they are
not yet ready to make its contents
known.

A Comparison Of Conditions.

From the ST. Louis Star.
From all accounts labor conditions
in France and England are in deplora-
bic condition, and possibly they are not
much better i'm Germany.
A German paper states that during
the month Of November the number Of
unemployed persons increased largely
in France and England, especially in
the latter country, where IN thirty five
municipal districts Sa0S22 persons were
out OF work or IN want. the number Of
unemployed in London alone being es-
timated at over 100000.
In many trades wages have been re-
duced. and large subscriptions are now
being raised to provide food for the
poor and unemployed The high price
OF bread and meat makes the condition
Of the working classes all the harder.
An Interpolation in the French
Chamber Of Deputies has produced the
statement that in 1904 there were
about 10 per cent. fewer people en-
ployed in that country than during the
year before. The magnitude OF the re-
duction can be better comprehended
when It is understood that there are
$500. 900 industrial workers in France.
a nalA Hlluon WolkinB ptvpie III W.
out OF employment within one year is
calculated to shake the economic con-
lditlons Of any country to its very foun-
dation.
Absolutely there is no valid reason
why any man in the United States
should be out OF employment Of some
kind. The employment may not be al
together congenial but In every In
stance 1t will bring bread and butter.
Il is to be hoped that these favor
able conditions in this country will
continue TO prevail until the end of
time, II any such contingency can be
contemplated, but one thing is certain
our only safety at present is in main
taining the protective policy that has
up to this time made us rich prosperous
and independent

In the treatment of deafness which

turn al once. A few days treatment
win bring relief, and In three or four

Miss Mselxs OF Mattewan, New York,
says: "Hyomei is truly wonderful.

a great change In my condition. My
hearing Is Improving rapidly. and I
had no idoa ] would Improve so rapidly
in 80 snort a time. My breath which
was so offensive TO myself and others,
has lost its bad odor entirely. I have
spent a great deal OF money with ca
tayrh specialists and can truly say that
six months OF their treatment Is not
equal 10 one month OF Hyomei."
Z. James Belt Is selling Hyomei upon
the unusual plan Of agreeing to return
tho money If the medicine does not
cure.
A complete outfit costs only st.0o and
consists OF an inhaler that can be car
ried in the vest pocket, a medicine
dropper and a bottle of Hyomei. The
inhaler viii last a.lifetime and there is
enough Hyomei for several weeks
treatment. Additional bottles Of Hy-
omd can be procured for so
cents. Compare this small expense
with the fees charged by specialists and
then remember that II Hyomei does not

woMAN's SPHERE.

MEMBERs Of the Legislatures Of
4 Il the several States sometimes de-
velop an independence Of both conduct
and utterance which brings trouble and
causes regret. But there is a certain
gentleman who is a member OF the H.
linois Legislature who is likely to have
this brought home 10 him most fore
ibly.
The other day while considering an
equal suffrage bill with the galleries
crowded with women. somebody moved
to amend by striking out all after the
enacting clause and inserting this:
'rhat women and females should be
at home taking care Of the house and
raising babies. as provided by Roose-
velt's special message and wasner's
Simple Life"
Wen wager that the public career
of the man who introduced that will
end with the present Legislature. The
women win resent It bitterly. and the
best he can do is 10 retract BY saying
that women should not be at home car
