Washington. May 24.-A measure for the preservation of American an tiQuities. which has the endorsement of a score or more societies in this country, has been ordered reported fayorably by the senate committee on public lands.

HEIR SUED BY sHoRaIaL.
Waterbury Woman Brings . Breach
 of promise Suit.

Miss Emma Pllon, ldressmaker has, according to the Springfield Re publican brought proceedings for breach of promise asainst one of the most prominent and wealthy young men in PittsHeld, Mass, Alfred viger, for breach of promise of marriage. Her local counsel is Attorney U. c. Church, and he declined to discuss the matter to-day. For balm to her wound cd dignity, Miss Pilon asks damages of $15,0O0 very small sum in com parlson to the social and financial standing of the defendant.
 Last January viger married a Miss Louise M. Clarity and when Miss Pilon heard the news, 1t is said she WAS greatly shocked. She lives at 358 West Main street, and is about 2 years Of age two years the junior of Mfr yiger
 The suit against Viger was begun only week ago and. according to tlie papers Miss Pllon was engaged as q c0atmaker in the shop of the England Bros company Pittsfeld. It Is also said that she used frequently act as a model to display the beautiful out lines of the fashionable garments turned out by the concern.
 How she became acquainted with Mir Viger Is not yet known. That must be left for later development, accord ing as the case progresses.
 1t is said however that they be- came acquainted during the year 1904 and that notwithstanding the vast diff ference in their social positions. Mr Viger was a most ardent wooer. X score or more letters and some photo graphs are said to be in the posses sion of the plaintiff and will tell of the fervency of his words, but for the present they are silent. A large photo- graph of Viger promises to be one of the most eloquent features in the case. Mir Vigcr's father died quite recently. leaving him on the pinnacle of pros- perity and with a political heritage in the repuglican party. that is said to be worth good deal to young man.
 Last summer Miss Pilon first no- ticed change In Viger's disposition. His protestations. however. were as fervent as ever. With the approach to Christmas. Miss Pilon felt a great change was pending in viger, though he seemed as constant as before. Stiil when she heard of his marriage she was shocked with amazement. The suit will be tried in the Massac achusetts courts.

THE BOND ISSUE.
Committee Having Matter in Hand
 Begiuuing to Do Busiuess.

x
 "Wonder what the bond issue com mittee appointed by the mayor will do?" inquired man who is worth a neat pile and has the whole of 1t drawing interest at five percent, of q Democrat reporter. By love" he con. tinued without waiting for reply to his query T think the old town has woke up at last. We owe $1,70O0OO, which is about half the market value of the water works, and yet you meet people that are afraid of another bond issue. I hope to see this bond ques- tion pushed and then probably fel- low who has his money where the progressive follows can't get at it may be able to get hold of nice place right after a few years" The reporter said it was nothing that concerned him. but added that he had heard n great many say that they hoped no xnore bonds will he issued until we have had more equitable system of assessing property and something done with reference to water rates, so that nobody will have to come down with more than his share to meet the added burdens To this the advocate of bonds replied that all these will come in time and concluded by expres- sing the hope that the committee will not do things by halves.

COUNTESS MARTINI RELEASED
Had Served Nearly Four Years for
 the Murder of Her Husband.

Turin, May 24.-After serving three years and eight months of a ten years sentence. Countess Theo di Linda Bon Martini. who was convict cd. with four others, of participation in the murder of Count Bon Martini In 1903. has been released on a ticket of leave. ostenslbly because of III health. but really as the result of the agitation of influential believers in her innocence.
 The count was stabbed to death in his rooms. and it was at first be- lieved that robbery was the motive of the crime. Subsequent develop ments led to the arrest of Tullio Murri. the countess's brother, Dr Naldi, Dr Soochi and Rosa Bonnet, the countess's maid. all of whom were convicted and sentenced to vari- ous terms of Imprisonment after a trial that excited widespread interest throughout Italy. Tullio Murri con fessed that he did the stabbins.

Fighting the Boil WeeviI.

The agricultural appropriation bill contains an item in relation to the boil weevil. This item puts $190O00 into the work of fighting the boil weeyil in the year beginning on July 1 next. The item will undoubtedly be retained in the bill when it goes through the two houses, and the sum named will enable the governments force in the field to do their best against the pest handed to us by Mex. ico.
 Texas and Louisiana are also try ing to keep down the destructive in sects, but it is generally conceded, even in those states, that the work of the general government is the more efficient. Its men are better organ ized, and they work systematically along lines of approved practice and science, No one anticipates an elim- ol lllC lnbCSNS, DuL SISdL u6dl can be done towards minimizing their destructive course.
 They are now well established in Louisiana, and doubtless the parishes along the Mississippi will be invaded by them this year. This will bring MisSissinni and Alabama face to faee with the insect pests, for the river is not wide enough to stay the course of their march eastward. The subject will doubtless be brought before the legislature next winter for before an- other Alabama legislature is as sembled in 1911 the insects will be due in this state.

Archives and History.

"All Alabamians are awaking more and more to an appreciation of the import ance of the department of archives and history as means of preserving and keeping valuable papers and pictures, said a student.
 A short time ago Dr. Thomas M Owen asked families known to have taken an active part in the Civil war for the con tribution of records or papers relating to the organization and movements of the Alabama regiments. In response to the request the department has just re- ceived the letters of Capt. Samuel c. Kelly, Thirtieth Alabama, C. s. A, to his wife. These date from the enlistment and organization of the regiment at Tal- ladega in 1862 to the surrender of Johnston in North Carolina in 1S65. thus being a complete account of the work of that part of the regiment, yet giving an inter- esting personal touch to historic facts.
 "The work of arrangement and the elimination of the merely personal was done by his granddaughter, Miss Marion Kelly, of Birmingham, with high skill and a sympathy that will do much toward making possible the permanent preserva- tion of these evidences of the loyalty and courage of descendant of a colonial and revolutionary family of America"

Senators by Direct Vote.

The Oregon state election will take
 place on June 4, when two congress men are to be elected, and a legisla- ture that will elect next January an
 United States senator. But the prim- ary system is in force in Oregon, and
 the people will name their choices for senator. Senator Gearin fills by ap- pointment the seat of the late Senator Mitchell. The people will name MT. Gearin's successor in primaries. MT. Gearin will probably be his own sue cessor if the democrats carry the state. The two congressman, Herr man and Williamson, are as deeply in volved in land frauds as Senator Mitchell was. and they are not candi- dates for reelection, simply because they are handicapped by indictments.
 Kentucky and Connecticut are the latest states to seek direct voting in the SelectlOn ol ScndloiS. IL ID outSiuV the federal constitution. but it is nc more outside than our present method In presidential elections. The only difference is that the latter has ac, uuired the sanction of time, but the former will soon have that also. It Is spreading rapidly, and even such states as New York and New Jersey will soon choose between popular ac- ton and boss rule in the selection of United States senators. The present senators from those states are re- hection upon representative govern : ment

From the Washington Post.
 A group of eminent southern lawyers occupied chairs in the Raleigh last even ing, and it was worth any mans while to hear their stories of court house episodes in Dixie. After Col. John Allen and Judge ward L. Russell of Mobile had each mar rated some funny yarns, Judge Jim Neville of Gulfport. Miss. one of the most successful lawyers of his state recounted this one
 "Some years ago, while I was on the bench, there came up for trial murder case of more than usual interest. great deal of difficulty was had in trying to get a jury, man after man being told to stand aside mainly for the reason that he had already formed an opinion or that he was opposed to the infliction of capital punish ment. So many of them made this last an excuse that I got a trine irritated and came to the conclusion that 1t was merely a dodge to avoid jury service.
 Finally Q long lank specimen of a oountryman was called upon for examina-
 
 asked the regulation questions he replied that he was opposed to capital punish ment. Looking at him sternly and in tones somewhat suggestive of wrath, l asked the fellow if he did not think there were conditions so extraordinary as to warrant the hanging of the offender He said he did not believe anything could make him assent to such a verdict, and l impatiently waved him aside and called for a new man.
 " But will your honor let me ex- plain said the disqualified citizen. I'd like to give the court my reasons.
 "'I don't wish to hear any explana- ton from you. Go and sit down.
 Excuse sme judge, but you must hear my reason
 Well. then, give it, and go along with you
 The reason l am opposed to capital punishment, your honor, is that my old nanny taught me it were a sin to kill anything that wasn't fitten to eat. "

staudpattism and Charity.

The standpatters are facing prob- lem precipitated by earthquake and fire. Their sacred tariff stands in the way of a rebuilding of stricken American city, and they are asked to permit not only gifts to come in free from duty but also all building ma terial for use in San Francisco during one year. John Wesley Gaines has introduced a bill to that effect, and Representatives Madden of Illinois and Knowland of California, both repub- licans, have presented similar bills, all intended to let down the bars in this emergency, all intended to help the stricken districts in California.
 What will the standpatters do in relation to these bills? They are drawn in accordance with precedent. Congress has in the past aided suffer- CTS in times of disaster in this way and now when the greatest disaster in American history is to be faced and overcome, the problem reappears before the eyes of our noble standpat- ters. Their sacred instrument of Privilege is assailed.
 Mercy and charity cry aloud, and the standpatters will either have to stuff their ears with cotton. or else they will have to assert that the sa- credness of the tariff is so great it cannot be touched even to give shelter to the homeless and to relieve the distress of the suffering.
 Already it is given out from stand pat sources that the demand for steel and other building material in San Francisco has been over-estimated, and that the steel mills of Pittsburg are equal to all demands that will be made upon them from that quarter. All this means that the standpatters in Congress are expected to stand firm, no matter how many are homo less, or how great the suffering in the California towns may be or may be- come. The situation is interesting, and it deserves watching. It will ex- plain perhaps the heartless selfish ness of Dingleyism, which is Privilege at it's worst.
