child and wilkins stated that she had

A friend of the dead woman, Mrs. ]. X.
Anderson Of San Francisco, had been
staying at the Wilkins home during the
past few days and now asserts that Will
kins had tried to induce her to leave
her husband and &c away with him. Her
suspicious became aroused, and Monday
night, In dream, she saw the body OF

with the arms crossed over the breast.

derson says that she was awakened from
her singular dream by Wilkins, who was
standing over her with a knife in his

he replied that she had been talking wild
ly in her sleep. He put away the knife
and asked her to take a drink of water

Blue Blood.

In the "Zeitschrift Fur Deutsche
Wortforsch@g" R. F. Arnold recently
called attention to a verification of the
origin of the well known term blue
blood" In Goethe's preface to the
German translation of Salyandy's
French novel, "Alongo" Q825 occars
the following passage, "a man OF so
red and even SO blue blood as mine"
to which the author adds the explana-
tory note. "In some parts Of Spain. es-
pecially in the kingdom Of Valencia,
the aristocracy is divided into different
classes, according to the color of the
yellow, red and blue blood" In the
opinion of the "Politische Anthropo-
logische Revue" the blue blood re-
fers to the BLUSH blood shining through
the veins of the skin that distinguish
ed the hidalgos, the Spanish nobility
of German descent, from the red and
yellow blooded native-that is, the
darker type.

Then we received orders to continue

be much farther, as it was already all

marched and marched and marched.

WILL DIG TWO CANALS
Frederick C. Stevens, In Charge
Of New York Work, to Back
Oliver In Panama.
SAYS He WILL NOT RESIGN.

State superintendent Of Public Works
Announces Financial Support Of Sue
cessfui Bidder For lsthmian Con-
struction contract-WiII Attend to
Both Jobs, He Declares.
Albany, n. Y, Jan. 3O.-Frederick G.
Stevens, the millionaire state superin-
tendent of public works, whose APP
pointment by Governor Hughes has
been the great surprise of the present
administration, is now virtually the
director of two of the most stupendous
works of engineering ever conceived
by man.
He is the sole hacker Of William ].
Oliver, the contractor whose bid to con-
struct the Panama canal has just been
accepted, and in his official position in
New York state is in charge of the en-
largement of the Erie canal at an ex-
penditure of $101, 100000.
Il shall not resign as state superjn-
tendent of public works" said Mr..
Stevens when asked about the Panama
canal work 1T is true that am the
hacker, and the sole hacker, of William
j. Oliver, who has been awarded the
contract for the construction of the
canal. If l had known that the bid of
Oliver was to be accepted ] should not
have become commissioner of public
works, but now that | have the two
jobs l shall attend to them BOTH
Stevens Political Foes.
This statement of Mr.. Stevens made
politicians here gasp. They hold that
his appointment was a blow struck at
his political enemies, including Con-
gresham Wadsworth and his son, the
speaker of the assembly.
AS superintendent of public works
Stevens was placed in control of the
great patronage incident to the canal
work. 1t was the one position in the
gift of the governor that the political
machine coveted because of the patron
age involved.
Mr.. Stevens says that he will not
resign Politicians are certain that
he will not quit his Office unless pres
sure is brought to bear. The question
is what attitude Governor Hughes will
take in the matter.
VIII he, too, share the opinion of Mr.
Stevens that he is capable of taking
care of both jobs, OF will he decide
that the Panama canal job will not
allow Mr.. Stevens to give his first and
best attention to the work of the state
and either call for the retirement of
Mr.. Stevens from the Panama work or
for his resignation as state superin-
tendent of public works?
The work on the Erie canal is the
greatest problem with which the state
has ever had to deal and overshad-
ows by far any other enterprise in the
hands of the people. The official in
immediate charge of the expenditure
of $101, 100000 is charged with trust
second to none, and the appointment of
the commissioner of public works was
the most important one made by Gov
ernor Hughes.
