IT seems that Mrs. Chadwick's ex.
allied ideas OF life have sustained no
serious shock by her recent humiliat-
ing experience. When she left the
county Jail. at Cleveland, the other
day, to select such personal effects as
the court might allow as exempt from
the claims Of creditors, she gathered
together between $4,000 and 5000
worth OF clothing and other effects she
claimed to be exempt. The master in
bankruptcy declares she has enough
clothing for twenty-five women, which
he considers in very bad taste for Q
bankrupt, and will so report to the
court.

LONG HELD, But QUICKLY RELEASED.
1t will be remembered that about
two and half years ago a Mrs. Floyd
A. Smith was arrested in San Fran
cisco for an an alleged swindle Of Sc
attic women out OF some $4,000 by
sale of worthless oil stock. There was
some difficulty at that time in extra.
dition Of the alleged swindler and it
was with great difficulty she was
brought back to Seattle, where she has
voluntarily awaited trial ever since.
The liability must have been cumula.
lative in results for last Tuesday, when
the woman was brought before Judge
Griffin, she had three trials in one
day, but they all resulting in dismis.
sal. The battle, dispatch says, closed
with Mrs. Smith free woman, with
several angry women dancing around
her claiming she had swindled them.
One OF these, Mrs. Lutz, admits to
having lost over 1900, and another,
Miss Daugherty, $1,000.

LET Us COUNT THE Cosr.-There

pirate money when you have it, or to
draw warrants on "invisible funds"
and the temptation is so great when
an offer is made to Finance" doubtful

resist. But it is just such policy that
has got both county and city into a
hole from which it is exceedingly diff
cult to dig out. Let reason prevail. An
exceptionally good display at Portland
will not hide the fact that we would 60
gladly conceal, that we cannot afford
to be lavish in expenditure.

POSSESSES A. DUAL NATURE.-Clyde
B. Clancy, hitherto a prominent so.
ciety man, has been unmarked and
shown to possess Janus-faced nature.
He was arrested at Tacoma, Saturday.
for theft Of three suit cases and their
contents. So plain was the larceny
that the matter was settled out of
court by the young mans father, Capt.
Clancy, by aid of an attorney. Upon
release, however, he was arrested by
the Seattle police, on a charge OF a
series OF bold burglaries in the Lincoln
hotel, which for months had mystified
the officers. Clancy is a nephew OF
the late Senator John B. Allen, and is
also related to Judge Whitson, the
newly appointed Federal Judge. He
confesses to the crime of burglary, for
which the minimum penalty is four.
teen years imprisonment. His friends
intend, it is said. to interpose the plea
OF kleptomania.

, on No, ALASKA.-It is hardly prob
able that any great number Of our
people will favor proposition, now
under consideration by some of the
people of Southeastern Alaska, for an.
nexation of their panhandle district
to this State. There is such thing
as having enough, and it applies to
amplitude Of territory as well as local
conditions which may predominant at
times. The declaration OF Senator
Spooner and others, that they are I'M
alterably opposed TO the creation of a
State now or at any future time, out of
territory not contiguous to the United
States, has doubtless led to this con-
tentlon, rs substitute, although sub
Ject to the same objection. While it
may be true that southeastern Alaska
is more closely connected by business
interests with Puget Sound than the
remainder OF her district, the unwieldv
nature OF wide scope Of country for
united and satisfactory political SER
vice has been shown from experience,
and we doubt very much whether it
would pay to import Senators and
Representatives thousands of miles for
the service they would perform, or to
have the vagaries of camp-life incor-
porated into our State code of political
ethics.

TO DEATH
FROM FLYING CAR
FALLING TROLLEY WIRE PLAYS
HAVOC ON CROWDED WoRKcAR.
John Anthony Leaps to Avoid the
Deadly Current and Is Ground to
Pieces Beneath the Wheels Three
Other Employees Taken to the City
Hospital with Painful Injuries.

John. Anthony was instantlyki killed and
three Of his fellow workmen were seri-
ously injured at Hennepin avenue and
Twenty eighth street at 6 O'Clock last
evening, while trying to dodge a
broken trolley wire that had fallen upon
crowded work car.
The three na injured men are Mat Rich
Boyda and George Dets, both of 416
Marshall street NE. Anton lived at
307 Main street NE.
There were about thirty workmen on
the car, which was returning to the city
from Minnetonka. When it reached
Hennepin avenue and Twenty eighth
street, the trolley wire suddenly
snapped and the loose end came down
in the midst Of the men, emitting terri
flying flashes Of fire as it touched the
metal work. Knowing their danger, all
Of the men leaped from the car, altho
it was going at good speed. Anthony
missed his footing and fell between the
rails directly in front Of the car. The
first trucks missed him, but the rear
truck caught him up and dragged him
to Twenty seventh street. Wher the
car was stopped, the unfortunate man 8
| head had been ground to pulp and life
was already extinct.
The other men were picked up by
| NACAA A11CAOD oAu So1Oo 1Vh NJ -.
Norman NJ Smith until the patrol
wagon took them to the city hospital
Altho painfully injured and sustaining
several fractured bones, they will re-
cover. -.
| Anthony's body was taken to the
morgue. He was not well acquainted
with the men, having recently gone to
work there. Little is known about his
relatives and the coroner is waiting
for them to claim the body.
After the accident traffic on Henne-
pin avenue was delayed for more than
an hour. From fifteen to twenty cars
were punched on each side Of the
broken trolley wire and hundreds of
i passengers stood about the scene of
1 the accident in the dark. The fallen
wire, from which the current was
/ turned off only at intervals, lay on the
ground where anybody could have
stepped upon it with serious results
Yet: notwithstaIdi ding the fact that
dozens of street railway employees were
on the scene, no apparent precautions
were taken to prevent a second catas
trophe. -.
The fallen wire had broken earlier
in the day and was supposed to have
been repaired. .......,*
. After an investigation and confer
ence with the county attorney, the coro
ner has decided to hold no inquest OF
the death Of Anthony.

allowed last year for hospital for in

The total amount asked by the board ),
exclusive of the $4,000 balance Of last
