 The conviction of Mayor Schmitz divests him of the presumption of his innocence which has all along pro- tected him from consideration, out of court, Of the acts with which he was charged. Now that it may be as- stunned that he was an extortioner and meanly corrupt official preying upon the good morals of the sorely vicious and criminal element, it is in teresting to conjecture when and how he became a criminal
 Before Schmitz became mayor. there was no doubt of his uprightness. He was known far and wide for his hon. esty and that knowledge was his strength at time when San Fran cisco was seized with its first spasm of virtue There is no evidence that fe fell during his first term of office He was charged, it is true, with poli- ;ical misconduct, but that charge was rnsde. by political enemies and beside tn this day and generation political fni,cOnduc, is not 8 crime and hardly disgrace.

trained reporter though is seldom guilty of this offense unless there is some good and special reason for it It makes no difference to him whether it is an Irishman, a Dutchman, an American or Jew who has brought himself into disgrace. Now and then the nationality of the offender becomes an interesting if not an essential part of the story just as now and then the name of some religious denomination may be dragged in.
 For instance the criminal may be a pastor of a church or some high of ficial of it. In that case the unusual feature of the downfall can not be overlooked.
 But ordinarily the nationality or re- ligicn of a criminal is a circumstance which adds nothing to the value of the news story and the omission of it is an avoidance of an appearance of intending to give offense.

Irby \ Prosperous.

L. N. Lewis, Of the Wenatchee
Planning Mills, returned this morning
from Irby, the new town on the
Great Northern midway between We
natchee and Spokane.
Irby enjoys the distinction of be-
ing the only irrigated townsite on
the Great Northern between the
two last named cities, and here on
an irrigated tract of several hundred
acres the new town is being built
The big wheat fields are an alluring
feature and settlers are coming in
fast.
Things are moving down that
way" said Mr.. Lewis this morning,
"and the town will Undoubtedly see a
substantial growth during the COM
ing season.
Mr.. Cornish of the Wenatchee
Planning Mills is the moving spirit in
the Irby irrigation enterprise, and
is very sanguine as to the future of
the town. Near the town is large
amount of potential water power.
and a movement is on foot to develop
this and locate a -four mill at the
falls.

when the population reached $4,000;
helped to celebrate again when It
reached 100000; saw the city

somewhere near the present South
Water street and Michigan avenue,
and his boyhood amongst the tall
grasses that grew in rank. profusion
over the stretch of swamp that was
known in those days, when known at
all. as Chicago Portage.
Here and there along the banks of
the river there were other huts like
that inhabited by his father; all
counted, there we're not a score of
people in the entire trapper's camp

learning the only trade that could be
followed here with profit.
He was well into early manhood
before the strangers began to arrive
in large numbers, their only reason
for stopping here being the fact that
the military post known as Fort
Dearborn afforded them some pro-
lection from strolling bands of saw
ages.
One by one Alexander saw the cab
ms grow in number around his faith
er's hut, especially after the mas
sacre, when confidence was again re-
stored, and one by one he saw the
cabins take on a second story. From
a village of a few blocks in area he
saw it stretch along the north
branch; he saw it cross the stream in
that direction; he witnessed the un-
loading of the first cargo OF timber,
the first cargo Of brick; he saw
planks laid for sidewalks along the
main street, he-was present when the
first town marshal was elected, and
he knew the first police force per-

OLDEST OF LIVING TREES.
The BO-Tree is Probably the Oldest
Living Thing on Record.

This Bo-tree (the Fiscus religiosa)
is probably the Oldest living thing
in the world of which record has
been kept by man, and, with the pos
sible expection of the sequois, the
oldest of living trees. 1t was brought
from India by the Princess Sangha-
militia, and was planted by King De-
wanahpiya Tissa in 2SS B. c. 1t is
therefore 2,195 years old. The pre-
servation of this tree has been an
object of reverent solicitude of sue
cessive dynasties, and either through
supersitious reverence or because of
its worthlessness to plunderer it
has been spared amid all the havoc
or repeated invasions. AS recently
as A. D. 1879 it was endowed with
lands by Kaja Sinah, a Kandian
chief.
The Bo-tree's age and identity are
matters of absolutely faithful record,
and when one recalls that in the rig
orous climate of northern Germany,
in Hildeshiem, there grows rose
bush which is a thousand years old,
it does not seem so remarkable that
in the balmy climate of Ceylon this
tree should have lived so loncmf
tree should have lived twice as long.
1t is gnarled and unsymmetrical, be-
cause many of it's branches have been
cut off and sent to distant temples.
This Bo-tree is a branch of the tree
under which Guatama Buddha sat
when he attained Nirvana, and Bud
dhists say the passion through
which he passed communicated itself
to the tree, and caused all the leaves
to tremble.
Each of the millions of pilgrims
who have toiled along the sacred way
which leads to this shrine has hoped
to bear away with him leaf from
the sacred tree, and happy is he at
whose feet one falls.
The leaves hang on slender stem,
and are easily stirred by the slight
est breeze, SO each petitioned is re-
warded for his pilgrimage by feeling
that the tree responds to the fervor
of his soul; but few take home leaf.
Many bring offerings to the tree, and
on number of the lower limbs are
sheets of gold placed there by jewell
ers and other wealthy worshipers.

BUNGLING EXECUTION.
Rope Breaks and Victim Again Car
ried to GaloWs.

Indiana, Pa, Aug. 2S.-The first
hanging In this county for more than
twenty years took place here during
the day and was not a success, as,
owing to the breaking of the rope, the
operation had to be repeated
The victim of the law was Carmine
Reno, aged forty-five years and weigh
Ing IT'S pounds. The weight of the
man and the drop of five feet proved
too much for the strength Of the rope,
which snapped when the trap was
sprung, precipitating Reno to the
ground. The jail attendants loosened
the rope around his neck while others
adjusted new rope to the scaffold
and the man, already half dead, was
carried to the platform and the lever
again sprung. This time the execu-
ton was successful.
The crime which Reno expiated
was the murder of his sweetheart,
Marian Bearno, aged fifteen, at her
home in Ernest two years ago. It had
been agreed that Reno should marry
the girl providing he paid the passage
of herself and parents to this country.
He did this and when the girl refused
to wed him he shot her.

The Hague, Aug. 28.-Joseph H.

the American delegation to the peace
conference, have brought up a new
proposition with respect to the allot-

In this proposition the United States
announces the willingness of all the
countries of the American continent,
including the United States, to have
four judges, appointed for the twenty
one countries of the continent, on the
understanding that this will reduce
the number of judges to fifteen. The
proposal does not go any further, but
1t is understood that the Americans
hope the other countries will take
similar action, that Asia will be al
lotted two judges and Europe nine.
