The Coming Spring Elec,
tiOn.

The secretary of state is now pre-
pairing the enrolment books for the
primary enrolment OF voters of the
various parties, to be made under
direction of the registration officers
at the spring election on the first
Monday of April. These will be
supplied to the several county clerks
as provided by the law, in time for
their distribution to the various pol
ling places; and 1t is essential to any
practical operation of the primary
reform method I'm our state, that
voters shall generally enroll them-
selves. Those who fail to do 80 will
cease TO be voters for any of the pur
poses of this primary election, unless
incapacitated by sickness or absence,
In which case, as In the ordinary
registration they will be entitled to
have their names entered on election
day, In June, This is the Jeff year"
when no state officers are to be chosen
at the spring election and the interests
TO call out the voters would be less
than on the odd numbered years.
But there Is another interest which
should operate at this time to increase
the attendance at the polls; we are to
vote this spring upon the question OF
calling convention to revise the con
stitution, under Act 426 OF the last
session.
This opportunity is one of more
Importance than the opportunity of
voting on the direct nomination of
officers to be elected next fall. That
is bat the experimental test of new
law, which may be altered sr repealed
In year, this Is proposition to out
line the general policy and methods of
the state for the next quarter or half
century. In one, the legislature has
put iuto the hands OF the people the
authority this year to name their
legislators and governors and ad'
ministrative officers without any inter-
mediary agency; in the other, the
legislature las Empowered the people
to enact for themselves the limiting
and governing principles and regula-
tions under which they would en-
power the legislature to max laws, and
the governor and other officers TO
execute and administer the laws, for
many years TO come. There is no
comparison In the Importance Of the
two, and it would be deplorable If the
voter should give TO this matter a
languid and Indifferent attention.
This is not likely to be. and the two
unusual issues on this occasion will
doubtless be mutually helpful in at
tracting attention and interest.
There is another act of the last
legislature session, aimed to secure
other questions submitted to voters at
elections. That lack of attention has
been not so much from Indifference, as
from want of information; and this is
provided for In Act No. %, which re-
quires the secretary Of state TO prepare
statements OF the purport, nature and
effect Of such amendment or other
question. These are TO be supplied to
all newspapers in the state three times
sixty, and thirty, and fifteen days
previous to election, and also posted
at each polling place, printed In
English, German, Holland and Polish.

who conducted the governments case
against the Oregon land sharks, was
engaged to gather the evidence. For
this purpose the district attorney, w
I'll. Langdon, appointed him his assist
ant. This move was followed by a
very sensational one on the part of
Ruef. Acting Mayor Gallagher, who
belongs to the Ruef faction, removed
Langdon and appointed Ruef in his
stead. The first act of the latter was
to remove his prosecutor, Heney. But
Langdon claimed his removal was lille
gal and held on to the office. The at
t0rney general of the state stepped in
and declared that if Ruef were recog-
nized as district attorney he would ap-
point Heney a deputy attorney general

THE GOLDEN FLEECE.
Most Highly Priced of the Surviving
Orders of ChivaIry.

Most Highly Priced of the Surviving
Orders of ChivaIry.
Of all the orders of medieval chiv-
airy which have survived the shock of
successive revolutions on the continent
of Europe since the great cataclysm of
1889. that of the Golden Fleece is per-
haps the most distinguished and the
most highly coveted by personages of
royal birth or of illustrious patrician
lineage.
The badge of the order is the figure
of a sheep in embossed gold suspend
ed from a heavy chain of gold. The
full robes consist of long mantle Of
crimson velvet, cut in the fashion of a
sacerdotal cope, richly embroidered at
the borders with emblematic devices
of stars, half moons and fieeces in
gold and lined with white satin, over
a doubIet and hose of crimson damaSk.
The full robes also comprise ''ch0p-
eron," or hood, with a long flowing
streamer of black satin, but this head
gear has in modern times been gen
orally dispensed with.
Originally the robes of the order,
which was founded in 1920 by Philip
the Good, duke of Burgundy, were of
crimson cloth lined with white lamb S
wool. and this circumstance has some
what strengthened the theory that the
golden fleece was instituted by Philip
the Good in grateful recognition of the
immense treasures which the Duke of
Burgundy had acquired from the
wool of the flocks reared on his vast
estates in Flanders Be it as it may,

that compositor has gone through
more poems than you ever wrote or

Bisamist Returns.

Thomas w. Kiiey, the Brooklyn mil
lionaire banker, who was discovered six
weeks ago to be the head of two house
holds less than mile apart, and who
disapr cared when the facts became
public, returned to the home of Mrs.
Kiley No. yesterday. He said he
would leave New York today never to
return. Neither wife will accompany
him. Apparently the matter has been
amicably Strengthened Out, because ii is
announced that Mrs. Kiley No. / has
fully forgiven him and that Mrs. Kiley
No. 2 has agreed not to attempt to see
him.
Kiley was president of the North Side
Bank OF Williamsburg, a wholesale mer-
chant and a big man in fnqnce. he
was what is called model citizen,
scrupulously honest in his business deal
ines. a leader in char able and church
work.
The discovery that he had one wife at
the Jefferson avenue address and another
at 2I6 Brooklyn avenue startled the
community. Ii appears that neither
wife knew of the existence of the other
until a short time before the exposure.
Kiley admitted the facts.
When the story of his two families
came out he resigned from the presidency
of the bank and dropped out of sight.
No criminal proceedings were brought
against him, and he kept in communl-
cation with his lawyers and business as
sociates all through his absence. He
went directly to Asheville, n. g., visit
ed Baltimore, Norfolk and other cities
until two days ago, when he was advised
that matters had been so shaped that he
might return.
Arriving 10 Jersey City, Kiley went
to hotel, where ha remained until yes
terday morling, when he started for his
old home in Williamsburg. He has
aged since he went away.

Suicide at 108.

Mrs. Mary McKittrick, l0S years old
and, as far az known, the Oldest woman
iu America, committed suicide at the
bone of her son, Luke McLittrick, an
octoeenarian. near Uniontown, Pa,
vest, rday morning by cutting her throat
with carving knife. She had been in
i'll health for several weeks and her
mind had failed.
Mrs. McKittrick declared God had
forgotten her and had neglected to call
her, although all those she knew in
her girlhOod and wOmanhood, before
the Oldest OF old men and women now
living were born, had all gone TO their
future home.
Mrs McKittrick was born in county
Kildare, Ireland. March IL, 1898. The
fact of her birth is duly recorded in the
parish register, and the authenticity OF
her claim TO being one of the oldest, II
not the oldest person in America, is
well established. She remained in
Ireland until very old woman. Her
children had all emigrated to this
country many years before, had raised
| families aud died Of old age. All OF the
persons she had known had died, and
she was left alone in the old home in
county Kildare among strangers.
March II last, when her birthday was
celebrated, she danced an Irish jig Il
show what a good old Irish woman
could do, she said. But her hear
longed for old Ireland. Her thoughts
turned back TO the hills Of Dunmurrl
and the banks of the Boyne, to the :an
tiquities of Punchestown and Jigglns
town AMI the other historic spots il

freely, as a slight thing will cause race

strong. The girl has positively iden'i-

other than that he is not guilty, and
claims that he did not see Tie girl that
day. The assault lo"k place on the
