Feminine Economy.

When a man buys an expensive hat
and wears it out, that is the end of
the story. A woman's hat, though.
is a serial which runs indefinitely.
The pretty plumes which graced last
years creation as white, appear on
this seasons of another hue and will
run the gamut of colors until they
reach black. The flowers, the ribbons,
the laces, the velvet, even the gossa-
mer shapes, do service again under
expert manipulation. Take, too, those
monster sleeves over which .mere men
guffawed so loudly. When the fall
for them was over their fair wearers
just took this surplus material and
made extra waists of it. This is not
Vail. With an art which savors of the
mysterious, they took those flowing
sleeves of the fashion of a year or so
ago, and, turning them upside down.
made them into the prevailing mode.

THE VINES FOB not PLACES.
Some vsritabIe Salamanders Do Well
on Western and Southern Exposure

The western and southern side Of a
building is rather trying position for
a.y kind of plant, especially vine,
Sp- some there are which seem veri-
tsrie salamanders in their ability to
sand unscathed such hot location.
Among these Indoors and Out recon-
mends certain of the moon flowers,
notably Ipomoea pandurata, which is
said to be able to Withstand years
drought without injury. The foliage is
attractive, and it bears an immense
quantity of creamy white flowers of
thick, waxy texture. Once established
1t covers an immense amount of space
and for this reason should be given
liberal room when planting
Another vine which thrives in hot,
sunny situations is the Cobaea scan
dens. This, while not hardy, being
started each spring from seed sown in
house or hotbed, is so rapid grower
that it will cover quite as much space
as perennial vine. When grown on
a stonewall or on trees the tendrils
cling to anything within reach.
The blossoms are large and gloxinia-
like and change in color from the
greenish white of the newly opened
flower through shades of lavender,
mauve and purple as the flowers de-
velop, ending at last in the deepest
wine ere the flower fades.
When the period of bloom is over
the flowers fall, so that there are
never any withered ones on the vine.
When grown on porches or wood it
should be provided with Irvine or wire
netting for support. 1t should be well
watered in hot, dry weather, but dur
ing damp weather should not receive
any water. An occasional drink of
liquid manure during the blooming
period will be of benefit
III desired Its roots may be taken up
IN the fall and wintered over in the
conservatory or greenhouse, where
they will continue in bloom during the
winter and may be planted out again
during summer. The seeds of the
coboea are much addicted to decay
ana In planting they should be placed
in the soil edgeways and kept only
moist.

POLICE SEARCH IN VAIN

MAN WOUNDED BY MEXICAN HAS

Away

Walter D. Ivers, who was wounded
by a Mexican January 10 in a quarrel
over the possession of tin bucket, has
disappeared, and his invalid wife, living
In tent on Avenue co. is nearly frantic
with grief.
The entire force at the Eastside po-
lice station was trying to locate Ivers
yesterday, but with no success.
He left home Saturday morning say
ing he was going out in the country to
purchase some oranges to peddle from
his wagon. Since then he has not been
heard from and his wife fears foul
play.
The Mexican who had the quarrel
with him, Vito Ybarra, alias Devado,
Is now In the county Jail awaiting trial
for assault to commit murder. His
friends, who live not far from the tent
occupied by Ivers, have been very
bitter against the man whom they
claim caused their friend to be put in
Jail.
The police have questioned number
OF them as to the strange disappear
ance of 1vers, but all of them disclaim
any knowledge of his whereabouts.

where her husband might have gone
They had had no quarrel and he was

CIVIL SERVICE
so INCOMPETENT
CITY ASSESSOR TELLS WHY HE
OBJECTS
Frankly Tells Commissioners the EN-.
ployes They Are Sending to Him
Are Not Result Producers
and Must Get Out

City Assessor Lewis gave the civil
service commission a slap yesterday
afternoon when he was granted an op-
portunity to tell the city council what
he thought of the commission.
Mr.. Lewis had asked the council to
increase his force by eight men, five to
be employed at 800 month, between
March / and June / and three to be
constantly employed in his office.
IF l had the selection of my own
men i would not need to ask for this
increase in force" said Mr.. Lewis.
when the council called him before
that body to explain the need for the
increase. But l must take anyone the
civil service commission sends me and
these are usually so incompetent that
two men are necessary to do the work
that one good man could do.
Il will not go over my appropriation
for the year, but with the incompetent
men that the civil service commits
sion sends me to do the work in my
office, l will have to manage carefully
to produce results and make both ends
meet.
The commission tells me I must
take the men at the head of the ell
gible list, but If l cannot keep within
my appropriation those who are unable
to do my work will have to get out of
my office, civil service or no civil
service"
The council granted him the nee
essary increase in his force.
Mr.. Lewis does not like civil service
one little bit and has no hesitancy in
telling that august body that he
doesn't. He now is at loggerheads with
the commission over some men that
have been sent him, whom he declares
to be incompetent

MURDERER TWICE BEFORE
COURT FOR SENTENCE
JOHN MCCLURE, WHO KILLED
TWO, MUST HANG
Announcement Recalls the Tragic
Death of Jerry o'shea and T. sco-
dlcoff on December IL, 19o4-Story
OF the Crime

Convicted of murder and sentenced
to be hanged, John Mcclure, an old
miner, was taken before Judge Smith
in department one Of the superior
court yesterday and resentenced.
Attorneys for the old man carried
the case to the state supreme court,
following the decision of the lower
courts, and the former verdict was
sustained, but new sentence was
necessary and Saturday Sheriff White
returned from the north, bringing Nc
Clure with him..
Yesterday the death sentence was
again pronounced and Mcclure will be
hanged at San Quentin within the
next sixty days.
The crime for which Mcclure was
convicted was the murder of Jerry
O'Shea and Z. Scodicoff on December
12, 1904, at the San Pedro street
stables.
Prior to that time the miner had
driven a close bargain with Scodicoff
and there was dispute over ten
cent halter which the liveryman re-
fused to give to Mcclure. On the
morning of December IL Mcclure Wis
tied the stables and shot Scodicoff.
The liveryman dashed across the
street and dropped dead.
Mcclure then turned his attention
to O'Shea, a stable hand, and after
shooting him stabbed him to death.
The miner made no attempt to es-
cape. He was a cripple and after ter
rifying the neighbors by limping up
and down the street with his weapons
drawn he turned over his revolver and
knife to an officer and surrendered.
