were hanged in the Jail yard here.
Coombs. who had no friends or rela-
tives. will be buried by the county,
while Williams, who leaves a widow

atives. During the executions the
streets about the Jail were crowded
with men. women and and large
number of children, whose jeers and
laughing and shouting had to be
quieted by special detail of police.
Williams shot and killed Mrs. Mary
Ouincey, his mother-in-law, at her
home in this city, Sept. 16 last year.
Without any apparent provocation he
fired five shots at the woman, each of
which inflicted a wound that would
have been fatal. COOmbs shot and
killed Lizzie Dickerson at McKeesport

the presence of the woman's husband
and was prompted by jealousy.

During the last fiscal year there wer>
1858 assertions from the United States
army, an increase of $50 over the pre-
ceding year, and amounting to 11.07 per
cent of the entire enlisted strength.
That is to say, of every nine soldiers
enlisted, one deserts. No other army
in the world equals that, although no
other soldier in the world is better paid,
better housed and better fed than the
American soldier. The Inspector Gen.
eral gives as one of the reasons for the
numerous assertions that no beer can be
had in the post exchanges, and he adds
that the best judgment of the army is
that if the exchanges were to furnish
the soldier with light beer under the
supervision of the commanding officer,
1t would result in greater contentment
and in minimizing the crime of deser-
ton.

The traveller through a part Of New
Hampshire where the stones seemed to
be especially thick stopped to comment
to her driver on a man who was at
work in a field the surface of which
was little more than a mass Of stones
Of all sizes and shapes.
Eyes, Jake's having a hard time of
It." said the driver, who apparently
knew every one in that region. Hes
been at that field now for two years,
off'n' on. The wall all came out Of
the ground, as you might say, and you
see there's still considerable material
left to work on"
II should think he'd be perfectly dis
couraged, poor man, to own such a
piece Of property" said the traveller.
"Oh, he doesn't own it, ma'am, Jake
doesn't" said the driver, hastily.
Jake isn't so poor as all that. 1t be-
longs to Squire Farnum, and he's hired
Jake to clear it, that's ALL"

The greater part of the business Of
the United States Supreme Court con-
sists in deciding cases on appeal from
the lower courts. Over some cases it
has original and exclusive jurisdiction,
chief among which are suits to which a
State Of the Union is a party. Last
month the docket Of original cases was
called for the first time in tw%enty-nine
years. When the attorneys for New
Jersey and Delaware, which have had
a boundary dispute before the court
since 1877, asked for a continuance,
the Chief Justice remarked that the
court does not keep cases on the calen-
dar for more than a generation. There
seems to be a limit to the period dur
ing which States shall suffer from the
laws delays.

The government has found 1t nee
essary to issue a warning to the public
against persons who represent them
selves as agents and canvassers for the
maps of the Geological Survey. As Is
generally known, they are by far the
best that are to be had of the country
mapped, because they are not only &C.
curately drawn, but are on a large
scale. They are sold by the govern
ment for five cents a sheet. The bogus
"agents" charge two dollars. 1t should
be noted, however, that the govern
ment does authorize certain booksellers
and stationers to sell the atlas sheet
maps at a slight advance over the gov
eminent price, to pay them for the
trouble of keeping and handling
them.

In a speech made at the White House
to twenty city and state civil service
officials, President Roosevelt said that
after having had experience in nearly
all branches of government, he was in
clined more and more to feel that the
observance in letter and spirit of the
civil service law was the first requisite
in obtaining clean, decent, efficient gov
ernmental service in any branch or bu-
reau Of the government. Political ap-
pointments, he said, while seemingly
necessary in some cases, nearly always
brought bad results. He said that ex-
ceptions would have to be made in the
cas- of promotions to insure best re-
suits.

Hon. John G.. Woolley, the distin-

been in San Francisco and Bay cities for
several days. Mr.. Woolley arrived last

He spoke Sunday morning at DR.. H. H.
Bells church on Golden Gate avenue. He
has been absent for about year. He has

does not think much of the method of

that the question of getting good people
together on this important question is
one of 'beseeching." Human nature is
not driven or prodded on to do good, but
it may be led, persuaded, or "beseeched"
into doing good. The day of sarcasm
and contempt has passed and the day
of "beseeching'' has come. His address
was not only bright but exceedingly
helpful. In his Sunday morning address
he made many telling points. He went
on to say: "The explanation of the
drink habit is that the men do not see.
They slip into it blindly, and the farther
they go the greater the temptation is
not to look themselves over too critic

ton of the saloon is that citizens do not
see. We are intelligent and brave and
