A Very Sick Man.
When King Christian. who is now
eighty-seven years of age, left here to
take his annual cure at the springs of
Wiesbaden everyone here knew that he
was a very sick man.
The heavy blows OF the last few years
have undermined even his iron constitu-
ton. The death of Queen Louise after
an unusually happy married life OF over
half century nearly broke his heart.
Since then has come the everlasting
fear for the life OF his favorite daugh-
ter. the Dowager Empress of Russia.

Will Consider Suggestion.

Mr.. Wortnington further stated that
he would consider the suggestion he
made in open court yesterday, relative
TO asking for the discharge of Craw-
ford from custody. on the ground that
the jury, while not agreeing TO 4 YER
dict on the three counts of the indict-
ment submitted TO it, may have agreed
TO verdict OF not guilty as to the fifth
and sixth counts. The assumption that
the jury had agreed TO verdict on the
fifth and sixth counts was no doubt
based on the request of the jury on
Wednesday afternoon for additional in
structions by the court relative to the
first count. This created the impression
in the minds of some that an agreement
had been reached as to the remaining
counts of the Indictment.
After the jury was discharged yester-
day from further consideration of the

Honest Ballot in Hawaii.

Various people are drawing various
lessons and conclusions from the coun-
ty elections. There is one, however
that can't hurt anyone's feelings and
should not be forgotten. Though the
contest on this island was sharp tC
bitterness, not one word has been offer
ed by even the defeated candidates o.
party which impugns the integrity o
the ballot and the count, so far al
those in official charge of the election
are concerned. 1t was an honest cleo

All womankind is more or less par
ticular about being well shod, generally
more so as they grow beyond their
teens and realize that no costume is
complete unless the shoes are in per-
feet accord. The short skirted suit so
prevalent this season compel boots OF
perfect fit and finish, never admitting
missing button OR ripped seam,
condition the longer skirts frequently
concealed. For the house, too, the
daintiest of slippers are shown, in
bronze and kid, both beaded and plain,
and also in a bright scarlet morocco,
the latter, oddly enough, a fad with
young and dashing widows whose first
term of mourning has expired. There
is something very fascinating in the
particular shade of red in which these
Louis Quinze affairs come, and with
the graceful heel, and the fluffy rosette
of tulle to match they are bound to be
becoming to almost any foot, and also
look extremely well with many differ
ent gowns The stockings should be in
rxactly the same shade which is also

pump is perhaps the most used slipper

Colorado is at Rest

DENVER, COL, Jan. 1O.-With the
exception of the contest for the gov
ernorship which will be filed by Gov.
Peabody on Wednesday and the hear
ing of which will continue through sew
eral weeks, the political troubles of
Colorado have been settled and Alva
Adams was inaugurated as gov
ernor today. The last fight was
waged yesterday in the senate when
Luther M. Goddard, of Denver, and
George w. Bailey, Of Fort Collins, who
were nominated by Gov. Peabody for
the supreme bench, were confirmed
after hard fight.
The two Walcott Republican sena-
tors, Campbell and De Long, who Sat-
urday voted with the Democrats, came
in with the regulars yesterday and two
Democratic senators, Ballinger and
Hill, also came over. Both Democrats
voted for Bailey, making the totals on
his nomination. 81 to 13. Ballinger re-
mained with the Republicans when
Goddards name came up and the vote
was 20 to IA. The appointments con-
firmed will make the complexion of the

for indoors wear and one of the most
satisfactory. A pretty dress boot in
patent leather is also shown in the ac-
companying sketches for wear with
dresses touching the ground or with a
slight train, those worn with the trot-
ting skirts are built on mannish lasts
with extended soles and low heel. The
strap slipper shown is also Of patent
leather, wee steel buckles fastening
each on the instep. The evening slip
per with French heel and spangled
tulle or lace rosette should be in satin
or kid to match the frock, satin the
preferable material. The riding boot
for wear in riding clubs is shown in
both patent leather and a fine soft calf
skin with kid top; and for country
wear in tan leather. For summer these
should be ordered in tan or white can
vas, as coolness and ightness is the
first consideration, and with the linen
riding habits the heavy boots seem in
congruous. For bedroom wear mules
and Turkish slippers rival each other;
the latter are the acme of comfort, but
the former are considered the smarter
this season.

Has RIGHT to Timber

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 10.-The SUI
preme court of the United States today
decided the case of the United States VS..
the United Verde Copper Mining COM
pany, of Arizona, which was a pro-
ceeding to recover $3S. 900 on account of
timber cut from the public lands and used
in roasting ore. A regulation of the in
terror department directed that timber
should not be used for smelling purposes.
whereas the law authorized miners to
cut public timber for domestic pur-
poses" The opinion was by Justice Nc
Kenna, who held that the words ''domes-
tic purposes included the roasting of ore
and that the mining company was enti-
tied TO cut timber on the public land for
that purpose. He held that the secretary
had no right to promulgate regulation
extending the scope of the law, as would
be the effect in this case if ore roasting
were to be construed as ore smelling. The
opinion affirmed the decision of the AriS
zona supreme court.
