NEVER BEFORE at the beginning OF
an administration has there been such
rush of applicants for diplomatic and
consular places as at present, and never
before have so few of these places been
available, owing partly to the fact that
the President has already promised many
TO personal friends and partly TO the
policy of retaining in Office incumbents
who have made good records. Ordiuar-
ily. it is said, there are from ten to
dozen applicants for each foreign aP'
pointment at the beginning of an admin
istra.ion at present there are fully 20.
This rush is explained by the extern
sion of the civil service rules to practi-
calIy all other desirable places, although
for several years the demand for appoint
ments abroad from men of wealth has
been steadily on the increase. The oc-
cupancy of an official post, even IN The
consular service, gives social standing
abroad it is difficult to obtain otherwise.
1t is for this reason that Americans with
social ambition and wealth to back it up
are so eager to get these appointments.

Judge Mann.

Judge Mann in Petersburg Saturday
night gave out statement concerning
his candidacy for Governor. He said !;
Education, good roads, business
methods, and the liquor question are
the great public questions before our
people," and added: "My name will be
presented to the primary. and il the adj
vices which come to me are correct |
shall win. Ny campaign will be con-
Quoted upon a platform with education,
good roads, business methods, and a
reasonable regulation of the liquor traffic
as the leading planks, and | submit
the question to the people Of Virginia
standing upon my record and expressed
couviction?"
Judge Mann says he is proud Of being
the author Of the Mann liquor law. which
has greatly reduced the sale of liquor
in the State. He says he cannot be-
lieve that the democratic party is ready
to take the position that no man can be
nominated for Governor of Virginia be-
cause be entertains the views which the
judge holds on the regulation OF the
liquor traffic.

Hackenssck, N. j., March 1S.-An-
other woman, who is facing death at the
hands of the hangman, has, unoficially,
been given renewed hope for her life.
She is Mrs. Anna Valentino, an Italian
woman, convicted Of Staying her rival,
Regina Salza. The Supreme Court
recently denied her new trial. but in
timations have come that the Board of
Pardons will take up her case and that
her sentence will be committed TO i'm.
prisonment for life. Governor Stokes
will undoubtedly consent to this, as he
has expressed himself as being unwilling
to have a woman hanged in This State.
Counsel for the woman believe that the
mercy shown Mrs. Kate Edwards, in
Pennsylvania, and Mary Rogers, in
Vermont, should be shown the unfortu-
nate Italian woman 10 New Jersey.

Seeking Their Old Places.

New York, March i3.-There was no
let up today in the push OF Interborough
strikers to get back their jobs on the
subway and IL" roads. They Hocked
to the Office of the company in the Park
Row building by the hundreds. The
same routine that prevailed Saturday
was followed. The men fled applica-
lions aud were told the company would
send for them if wanted. The company
is re-employing the old men slowly, but
the indications are that between two
thousand and three thousand Of them
will eventually End their way back to
their places. There are many pathetic
scenes as the strikers come back looking
for jobs. Some OF the men in making
application tell, with shaking voice and
tears 10 their eyes, the story of their
part in the strike. These men were OPP
posed to the strike, but were outvoted at
the union meeting by their fellows.
They are generally men with families
who have already felt the wolf at the
door. The service in the subway and
on the 'L' roads was poor again this
morning. The green men run their
trains at half the speed of the old motor
men, and, as new trains go on, blocks
aud hong delays result. Fer this reason
it would not be surprising to see great
many of the old men back on the roads
before many days pass.

not save Capt. Bailey any actual la

half dozen to a dozen pages while
this amount of work done in type
writing, requires mot more than two

is said by mill men and others that
not one time in a thousand could
the mill have caught fire as. it did,
without DESTROYING the whole, The
time was the one in thousand, the
six hours rain and the direction of
the wind enabling the firemen to
save the remainder of the mill.
The insurance held on the saw
mill was $4,000, so the company
loses pretty heavily. The origin of
the blaze is mystery. 1t is not be-
