 erlck B. Dibble.

erick B. DibbIe.
 Mrs. Emily Frances Dlbble, widow of Frederick B. Dibble, of Edwards street, who took his life by drinking carbolic acid a few weeks ago, passed away at Mrs. Westerman's sanitarium on York street yesterday.
 Mrs. Dibble had been in poor health for some time preceding her husbands death, and few days ago submitted to a third surgical operation for the re- moval of abnormal internal growths. The operation was resorted to as it was believed it was the only chance of saving her life. She grew steadily weaker, however, after the operation, dying yesterday. She leaves one son, John Burton Dibble, who is in the ser- vice of the Security Insurance company and for whom great sympathy is felt by all. He has been unremitting in his devotion to his parents, especially in the weary months of painful Illness which preceded their deaths.
 The funeral services of Mrs. Dibble will be held at her late residence, 52 Edwards street, tomorrow afternoon at 2:90

MAYOR STUDLEY
 SENDS IN VETO
(continued from First Page.)

(COntlnueQ rom H1TSt Ed6e'J 1t Is not surprising that they fear even more marked disadvantages from the establishment of the contagious disease hospital.
 This matter has been agitated much during the past five years, and 1t was agreed upon all sides in 1902 that it would be wiser to repeal the law which authorized bond issue of $5OO0O than to force the hospital upon the people of any locality and the law was re- pealed four years ago.
 Last year an effort was made to es- tablish the hospital in the Twelfth ward. The people in that locality held mass meetings to oppose the proposi- ton as earnestly as the people of the Second and Tenth wards do now, The board of aldermen at that time, out of regard for the wishes of the people, voted down the proposition unanimous ly, or nearly so. I assured the alder man from the Twelfth ward and the committees of citizens at that time that I would not approve the order if pass ed under such circumstances, and upon other occasions I have given similar assurances to the aldermen of other wards.
 When proceedings are held for the condemnation of property tribunal is appointed to assess the damages, and it is supposed to give the full value of the property taken, but the law makes no provision for damage to property in a case like the present, and the citizen who is injured is powerless to obtain redress.
 Under these circumstances, the law being as it Is, I regard 1t my duty to disapprove the order.
 Respectfully yours, JOHN P. STUDLEY, Mayor

Two APPOINTMENTS.

c. ENATOR DUPONT and Senator Richard
~ son have agreed to recommend the reap
pointments of United States Marshal William r.
llinn for this district, and of Postmaster Thomas
Jefferson, of Smyrna. II is fair TO presume that
the marshals selection was made by Senator du-
ont as the position goes to this end Of the State,
and that Senator Richardson is responsible for the
recommendation of MIR. Jefferson Without dis
paraging any of the other aspirants for these
places it is admitted that Marshal Finn has
made faithful and excellent official, careful in
attention TO his duties, courteous and fully COM
petent II is pleasing appointment Mr.. JEFF
icrson has long been an active Republican in
Duck Greek hundred. and abored hard for
the success of that party when the district was
heavily Democratic as he does to-day. He is the
right hand man of State Senator Moore in the
northern end Of the county, and had Mr. Alice
been reelected senator, Mr.. Jefferson without
doubt would have been reapponted. Mr.. Jeffer-
son is commended not only by members of his
own party, but by his political opponents who
have dealings with his office and who speak of
his administration in high terms. The naming of
Mr. Jefferson also shows that Senator Richardson
Is to consider the party as whole regardless OF
past factional differences.

Speedy coastins.

The finest coasting hill in the world
is at St. Moritz, In Switzerland. The
hill is a mile long. and to coast down
II takes, on an average, siKty-seven
seconds. The Cresta course, as It Is
called, Is iced and runs between snow
banks. Its turns are dangerous. and
only skilled coasters venture on it.
They use the American fat toboggan,
lying on the stomach, and steering not
with the feet. but with lifts and jerks
II the body. A few seconds from the
start on this course the coaster is go
ng at a speed of twenty miles an hour.
Ihis speed soon increases to forty
miles. Faster and faster he flies,
wooping down the precipltous Church
cap at the speed OF an express train,
aud then on to the long, straight Shut
ilecock run. To fifty. to sixty, to sew.
enty, to eighty miles an hour the pace
crows till It is like the flight OF the
wlftest bird through a binding blur
n snow. Yet the speed still increases,
and at the end of the Shuttlecock
eighty-seven miles an hour is register
ed. These Cresta course speeds are
not problematical; they are the accu-
rate tlmin~a 80 ~ electric clock.
