 'sNotwfthstanding this personal ex- perfence, I will have no personal in- terest in the bill in the future" said Senator Reese. "Tor 1t has been so arranged at my house that the burglar who tries to enter will never trouble the court"
 Senator Leith was opposed to the bill on the grounds that 1t would greatly increase the expenses of the courts in the trial of capital cases where special juries would have to be summoned. Senator Reese voluntarily moved that the bill should so over until the July session.
 teachers was also the cause of con- siderable discussion by the Senators. It was called up by Senator Blackmon and opposed by Senator Lusk. Senator Lusk declared the bill was an effort to put the election of teachers out Of the hands of the district trustees into the county boards of education. It looked to him like an attack on local self government.
 Senators Blackmon. Reynolds and Merritt supported the measure, argu- ing that the bill only conferred that exclusive power on the county board when the district trustees refused to elect teacher. Senator Barbour also spoke for the bill. but it's consideration had not been completed when the Sem ate adjourned for the day.

New shah Has But One Wife.

Persia's new ruler has no harem, in the sense of a multiplicity of wives and odalisques. differing in this respect from all of his predecessors on the throne. He has but one consort to whom he accords a degree of com rederie and consideration rare in Oriental life. She Is a woman of much education, and like him. speaks French perfectly. and Is imbubed with all sorts of Gallie tastes and views. Her dress is always in accordance with the latest dictatse of Parisian fashion, and she keeps Parisian coutouriere of some -note, with two clever French assistants and several modistes, per manently attached to her household and busily employed.
 The Shah's wife bears the title of Ansied Dowleth. which means Com panion of the King" and she Is the mother of the young Crown Prince. Houssein Ali MirZa, whom his father has just proclaimed heir apparent, in- stead of waiting until the very eve of his death to make any arrange ments for the succession, which has been the practice until now. When it is stated that the Shah Faith Ali had over a thousand wives, and left 5000 living descendants at the time of his death, 1t will be readily seen that the new ruler of Persia is a reformer of the most radical type and a man im- bued with principles and views calcu- lated to commend him to the good will of Western nations

 While the finding of the jury was be- ing read in open court, Coleman sat mute in his chair.
