At woman's club meeting In New
York recently a woman who had made
a witty speech about men in general
was asked by one of the members If
she could tell Just what was the mean
ing of the expression, "An average
man" "of course can" she prompt

one who smiles and looks pleasant all
day at the office, but when he comes
home acts as cross as bear with a
sore head. Just so he can make up the

Saloons and Taxes.

That the beverage liquor traffic is
responsible for large part of the
court costs in any county, thereby
draining the revenues and increas'
ing taxes is shown from the follow
ing figures given out by Hon. |. j.
Mccall, clerk of the Circuit Court
of Hamilton county. We give his
letter in full:
"For the sake of those who desire
information along this line, desire
to submit few facts. |. Should

ty the revenue received from each
saloon is $3.50 per year, which amount
goes into the general revenue fund.

report, taken from the records in my

seau confessed today to the police
that he sent the box of dynamite to
the steamship Umbria in New York

up the statue of Frederick the Great

SO much was forced from him this
afternoon when Captain James Dom
aghy, chief of the detective force Il
this city confronted the prisoner in
Donaghy's private Office with Mrs.
Currie, the woman with whom he
boarded in New York when he sent
the box to the Umbria. Detective
Sergeant Arthur Cary. who traced his
movements from Seattle to New York
and Alfred Carter and George II. Ha-
eel, hack drivers of Washington. all
of whom Unidentified him without hes
itation.
Nothing has been developed to con-
firm the suspicion that he may have
placed on board the steamship Naron-
ic, which went to the bottom of the
ocean years ago with all on board, an
internal machine.

ting of Gayle oyer from that city has
created a great deal of CONSERVATION

of Mrs. Chadwick. The Vindicator
says:
Constable John Evans of Squire
Miskell's court last night visited Gayle
Oyer's resort on West Commerce
street and served an attachment for
$500 sworn out by Birmingham Bros.
the money claimed to be due them for
work and labor. The inmates of the
house and the help all moved into the
resort next door.
THE sudden departure of Gayle
Oyer from the city has thrown her
creditors in a furry Of excitement.
Samuel Maxwell and Mr.. Fink of the
II. L. McElroy company, appointed
by Constable Evans as a board of ap-
praisers determined the value of the
woman's assets at $4,000. Her liabil-
tiles are said to be far in excess of
Ihis amount. A chattel mortgage on
the furniture of the house is held by
the II. l.. McElroy company. Four pi-
amos In the house are outside the Nc
