THE COLON WEALTH
 IN BARTNETTS HANDS
A SuPposition That the Special Ad' rninistrator Was Guilty of Perjury.

Santa Cruz, Dec. 12.-Tnere has been more or less wondeE expressed that at the time Walter J. Bartnett applied for special letters of admin istration on the Cotton estate a great
 CT bond than S20.O00 vas not required of him. Judge Smith stated that when the matter came before him he was about to make a bond sufficient to cover the amount involved, when Bartnett's counsel contended that it would be extremely hard to secure a bond of that magnitude. in various surety companies, and upon the consent of attorneys representing Helen Be atrice Sachneri it was agreed that the bond should be given for s30,000. while the securities were to be placed in the vaults of the California Safe Deposit and Trust company and not to be uti-

They Will Stop tine Practice of Heads
 of Departments Sending in Bills for
 Passage.
 Washington, Dec 12.-The practice of certain executive departments of sending drafts of bills to the senate for passage. which bills have been i'm mediately referred directly to commit tees was discussed in the senate to- day. MT. Carter of Montana presented a prepared list of instances where the heads of executive departments has addressed communications to the sen ate requesting the passage of certain bills. He said that Senator Teller of Colorado. himself sent bills to the senate for passage when he was sec retary Of the interior.
 M1 Aldrich said that no matter how old the practice il should be stopped. that the executive departments had DO right to seek legislation is such a di- rect manner. MT. Aldrich observed that the department heads have the right to petition congress, or commun- icate there with through the presi- dent" But, he said it is intolerable to suppose that We are here to receive dictation from anybody as to wha { measures We shall or shall not enact laws"
 It was moved that the secretary of the interiors communication be re- ferred to the committee on rules with MT. Heyburns motion to promptly re- port as to what action should be taken by the senate to correct the practice of direct communication by department heads. The motion prevailed, and. af- ter a brief executive session the sen ate adjourned to Monday.

WHAT'S the Use.

!, It is little use for the local editor
to waste his lungs and sprain his
spine in trying to boom a town when
the citizens all stand around with
their hands in their pockets and
wait for something to turn up. II
the capitalists or business men do
not put their shoulders to the wheel
and do a little boosting it is useless
for the editor to try to boom things.
He can write ''boom" articles until
he gets baldheaded, but if the citi:
zens themselves do not take hold
and push, the town will forever
stick in the mud. Of what use is it
for the local paper to suggest i'm.
provements and new enterprises II
the suggestions are never acted up
on?
One man cannot boom a town:
It requires the concerted actiona aaot
the citizens. When one man Fat
tempts to shoulder a town and carry
it there are always a lot of cranky
ickers who are always ready to
Jump on top of the load. Unity Of
action is what counts.-Fort Mill

HER HANDS WE'RE NAILED TO THE SINK.
dition grew steadily worse from the
day she was discovered nailed to the
wooden sink. It was in the kitchen OF
the Mitchell family apartment, 2704
Forbes street. Tenants were attracted
by q woman's shrieks, and man en-
terfng through a window was horrified
to see long wire nails partly driven
into the top Of the wooden sink and
the ends protruding above the backs
of the woman's hands.
A short time ago Miss Mitchell went
to live with her sister, Mrs. Edward
Worley, in 2341 Center avenue. Then
she began to, cry frequently In the
night that she was second Christ and
that she was to be crucified not once,
but many times. Three days ago q
watch was set on her, three detectives
from police headquarters being detail
ed for the work.
Miss Mitchell has only the one delu'
sion. She left her home, followed by
two of the sleuths, and, boarding q
street car, began to charge passengers
with q plot to nail her to cross. The
detectives escorted her back to the
house, and there she spoke as follows:
Il got on the car, and man on the
platform Immediately said, Cruelty
herr It was the same with all the
others In the car. 1t has been the
same for many days. Every place
have gone the same man has appeared
before me and said, Cruelty her! l
cannot escape him, but I am not alarm
ed, because I feel I came into the
world to die on the cross"
Mystery still surrounds the mailing
of the young woman to the sink. AT
that time Miss Mitchell said she had
been knocked down by blunt instru'
ment in the hands of man, who then
drove the nails through her hands
But no evidence tending either to es'
tablish or disprove her statement has
ever been uncovered, and for this rea'
son the police attach more interest to
the present plight Of the girl.

Caused by Whiskey.

w. L. Fleming, the white photo
grapher who shot marshal Holloway
and MIR. Cooper in Springfield last
winter, was tried in Orangeburg
last week. He plead guilty and ask
ed for the mercy of the court, saying
he was drunk at the time and had no
recollection Of the affair. Judge
Hydrick told him being drunk was
no excuse, and sentenced him to
seven years in the penitentiary.
Fleming was drunk and was
worrying some horses in lot when
Holloway and Cooper went to arrest
him and a man named Corbett who
was with him. Holloway arrested
Fleming and turned him over to
Cooper, then turned to arrest Cor
bett. As soon as Holloway turned
his back Fleming pulled his pistol
and shot Cooper twice, both balls
taking effect in the thigh. Fleming
then shot Holloway in the thigh and
he fell, but pulled his pistol as he lay
on the ground and shot Fleming in
the thigh. All three men were shot
in the thigh, which is strange coin
cidence, and all are manned for life.
It is feared that Cooper will yet lose
his leg, Holloway is still on crutches,
and Fleming walks with a limp.
Fleming's health is badly broken by
his wound and confinement, and
although 80 years old, he appears to
be an old man. His drunk was GER
tainly an expensive one to him.

SAVES HER MOTHER.
Child Flags Train on a Bridge With .
Red Muff7er.

Red Muffier.
Mrs William Johnson, while walk
ing across q Pennsylvania railroad
bridge near the Mount Holly On. j.
station, fell between the ties Of the
bridge and, besides breaking her leg,
narrowly escaped death from an ap-
preaching passenger train.
Mrs. Johnson was accompanied by
her young daughter, Sadie. Not being
able to lift her mother, who was sup
porting herself with her arms extend
ed, the child sped across the bridge
and, snatching from her neck a red
silken mufier, stood In front Of the
oncoming train and frantically waved
it. The engineer brought the train to
a sudden stop at the approach to the
bridge.
Passengers and crew rushed from
the train and dragged Mrs. Johnson
from her dangerous position. She was
taken to the station and thence to her
home in a carriage.
