THE LAWS DELAYS.
Gov. Higgins, of New York, Says tina
in the Case CT Lawyer Patrick
They Have Been ScandaIous.

Albany, n. Y.-"Little less than
scandalous," is the phrase used
by Gov. Higgins in a veto memoran-
dunn issued last night regarding The
laws delays" in the case of Albert T.
Patrick, convicted Of the murder of
the aged millionaire William NJ. Rice,
in New York City, in 1900. The gov
ernor's veto is of two bills introduced
by Assemblyman Wade, of Chautau-
qua, to amend the code of criminal
procedure so as TO permit an appeal
from an order denying a motion for a
new trial in a criminal case on the
ground of newly discovered evidence,
The bills, which were introduced in
the senate also, by Senator Smith,
were generally understood to have
reference principally to the Patrick
case and the governor SO describes
them in his memorandum.
"Waiving the objection tc the bills,
says Gov. Higgins, that, though gen
eral in form, they are special in their
application, and are intended to grant
a right of appe'.. to Albert 7. Patrick
to obtain a review of an order, if such
order be made, denying his pending
motion for new trial on newly dis
covered evidence, | disapproye them
for the reason that they introduce a
new procedure to our criminal law and
tend to defer indefIritely the termiuG-
tion of a capital case.
Recorder Goff, before whom Patrick
was originally tried, has now under
consideration motion for a new trial
for Patrick, and Gov. Higgins has re
prieved the condemned lawyer for a
third time until June IS.

OCEANS OF SMALL CHANGE
Nickels Paid Into New York Street
Car Companies Reach an En-
ormous Total.

1t is probable that all the five-cent
pieces now in existence would not
have more than paid the cash faIes
collected on the New York City Rail-
way company lines alone. According
to the report of the state railroad com
mission, the number of cash fares
paid in 1905 in New York reached the
enormous total of LII ISL ,G9S. At iiye
cents each that amounts to $5S,557,-
5S490 In the period from 1898 to the
close of 1904 the total value of the
five-cent pieces coined n this country
amounted to only S24,175, ,7SS.15. Ii all
the three-cent pieces and two-rent
pieces and the cents and ha.f-ccnts
were added it would still leave a total
in money far less than that represent
ed by the collection of cash fares in
New York. With a reasonable allow
ance for the number of coins that
must have been lost and destroyed in
one way or another since our mint
was opened, it is probable that the
total amount of change now in this
country, including all coins between a
dollar and three cents, would not ex-

THE JERUSALEM ARTIcHoKE
Peculiar Qualities Of Tuber That
Grows on the Roots of the
Sunfower.

Most young folks in the country Gre
familiar with the sweet, crisp juicy
tubers known as artichokes. These,
says an article on Mature and Sci
ence," in st. Nicholas. grow on the
roots of the sunilower known to bot
anists as Helianthus tuberosis, and
are commonly called Jerusalem art.-
chokes. Under this common name you
will find the tubers offered for sale in
most seed catalogues.
The plants are easily grown in al
most any kind of soil At first glance
the tubers have somewhat the appear
ance of potatoes, but unlike them they
may lie eaten raw like radishes, or
they may be picked or cooked. Re
cipes are to be found in all cook
books.
These artichokes are entirely differ
ent (yet not far distant in a botanical
way) from the globe artichokes which
are grown IN California, and perhaps
elsewhere exclusively for their edible
flower buds. These are never eaten
raw. Even when cooked they are
rather tasteless. Personally, | think

Congressman Adams, of
Pennsylvania, Suicides.
BECAUSE OF DEBT.
lie Had Been in Congress for Many
Years ard Had Made an
Enviable Record.

Washington, d. c. Representa-
tive Robert ALams. of Philadelphia,
died at the Emergency hospital Friday
at 1870 a. m. from the effects of a
self-inflicted bullet wound.
Mr.. Adams was discovered in a dy-
Ing condition in his apartments at the
Metropolitan club shortly after S
O'Clock in the morning. He was sit
ting in a chair. A bullet wound in
his mouth and pistol lying near him
made it clear that he had attempted to
kill himself.
A letter received by Speaker Can
non from Mr.. Adams explained the
cause of the suicide. Mr.. Adams said
in the letter that his debts exceeded
his resources and forced him to aban-
don his official position. While he did
not Indicate an intention to take his
life, he spoke of the form of his burial,
indicating that he had then made up
his mind to commit the rash act.
Robert Adams was one Of the most
popular representatives in congress
and he has been identified with many
matters of world wide Importance
His position as ranking member of the
majority after the chairman on the
house committee on foreign affairs
has, owing to the i'll health of Mr.. Hit,
made il necessary for him to largely
direct the business of that committee.
1t was only Thursday that he, as
acting chairman of the house commit
tee on foreign affairs, managed the
diplomatic and consular appropriation
bill to its final passage in the house.
Mr. Adams has always been a re-
publican of the stalwart type. He was
born in Philadelphia, February 26,
1S49, and graduated at the University
of Pennsylvania 20 years later. He
practced law for five years and spent
some time in scientific explorations as
member of the United States geo
logical survey In 1888 he began his
political career as member of the
state senate, where he served four
years and in 1889 entered the diplo-
matte service as American minister to
Brazil. He filled this post for a little
over one year and then came back to
this country to re-enter politics, being
elected member of the Fifty-thrd
congress, in which body he has served
continuously ever since.
1t was Mr.. Adams who reported,
conducted through the house and had
charge of in conference with the sen
ate, the Cuban resolutions, and draft
ed, introduced, reported and passed
through the house of representatives
in one hour the declaration of war
against Spain.
