One of the two famous silk woven pictures of George Washington in ex- istence in this country is owned by Cleveland (O.) family, that of L. R. Pulliam. The picture is one of the ten woven in Lyons, France. Only three of these are known to have come to this country, One was burned in the San Francisco fire and the other is in possession of the washington artillery, with headquarters in Charleston, s. c.

There are some jokes which don't seem funny to all concerned, A French provincial paper has a story of game keeper who, going his round one night, saw poacher and pursued him, but lost him on the highway in the dark ness. Soon a motor car came up, and the keeper accepted an offer from the occupants to get in for the purpose of following the poacher But nothing could be seen of the culprit, and when the keeper asked to be let down there was a burst of laughter, and an inti- lnation he would find himselef in Paris before morning. In the twilight the motor stopped in the Place de la Con- corde, the keeper was thrown out, and the party-which, of course, included the poacher-drove away. The unlucky keeper had to pawn his gun in order to pay his train fare back,

There isn't a great deal of real estate in Japan. but what there Is Is in de- rnand. Land in Kumochi Fugiai Ka- sugano and Mirume has in some in- stances gone up to two and four times the former price, says an Osaka news paper, land at other points even to seven or eight times the previous values Tn parts of Kobe land has in- creased in cost three or four times. In Osaka the business center is gradually moving westward since the construc- tion of the new harbor, and land in the western part of the city has gone up very high and is still rising. The gen. eral rise in real estate Is moving east ward into Kyoto, and the rise is already noticeable in Fushimi"

You can have too much of good thing, Poisonous snakes and destruct- i've sugar rats caused the importation of the mongoose from India into Ja- nlaica years ago. This lively little anil mal killed off the snakes and thined out the sugar rats, but 1t especially enjoyed destroying the chickens. Now 1t is a costly nuisance All the island poultry has to be kept within wire net ting, and usually above the ground, and the price of eggs Is high.

The offer of $3,0OO,OOO for the Temple Emanu- Els property at Fifth avenue and Forty-third street, New York has been rejected. IA member of the con gregation said "I know that many of- fers have been made for the property. but none as large as the last, and I know also that even a much greater sum would be refused for the proper ty. not because we think it worth more, but because 1t is not, never has been, and probably never will be, for sale. The congregation is the richest in the country. and its income Is much be- yond its requirements"

JOHN FRANKLIN FORT.

Pleasantville'sI election day was
marked by the usual apathy In pub
lie matters. Out OF $50 registered
voters but 44S availed themselves OF
their right to have say at the polls.
Members OF the coIOred population,
however, gathered at the voting
booths In bright particular 'sconstel-
leshuns," as Mr.. Johnson would say,
or, just as they have been doing since
Abe Lincoln's fiat was sent forth.
And the dusky skinned warriors OF
American politics did their best to
hold Pleasantville in the ranks OF Re-
publican towns. But there were
some white Republicans who did
not vote for Fort, as the following
figures will show.
The Prohibitionists and Socialists,
as usual, did not cut wide swath.
The chief voting strength OF these
minority parties lies In the first pre-
cinct, strange to say, although the
figures do not show it in the case Of
the Socialists. Seven ballots were
discarded In the first precinct, be-
cause OF their uninteIligible mark
ings. They were marked beyond all
recognition.
The vote:

II Mr.. Henry Reinar can promote the
good work. He appeared before the
Councilmen Monday night to ask for
the grade aud curb line around his

there has not been a grade officially
established at that point, and that
the best thing he ean do is to 20
ahead and guess at the lines, settling
his 200 feet uf curbing and leaving the
rest to a future date for adjustment
rhe Councilmen were OF the opinion
that the Borough cannot afford the

this case reach 500. MIR. Reinar will

PAY OF RURAL MAIL CARRIERS
Men with Routes Tyyenty-FOur Miles
Long VIII Probably he Given
Maximum of 5000 "a Year.

WASHINGTON, March 9o-Under the re-
cent act Of congress making appropriations
for the postal service for the ensuing fiscal
year, the postmaster general may fix the
salaries of carriers in the rural delivery
service at a rate not exceeding 800 per am
mum after July 1, 1907. The highest rate
now paid is $72O per annum. The readjust-
ment Of salaries under the new law has
been fully determined, but It is proposed to
allow the maximum rate, $500, to all car
riers on routes twenty-four or more miles
in length, as shown by the records of the
department. This will give approximately
22S0O, or about 60 per cent, Of the carriers
an advance in salary of $3.50 per annum
substantial increase in pay for other
carriers is contemplated, but the chief bene-
ficiaries of the new law will be those serv-
ing the longer routes, upon whom the
greater hardships of the service fall Car
riers on the shorter routes, ranging from
twelve to fourteen and from fourteen to six
teen miles in length, now receive $5O4 and
$40 per annum. respectively being proper
tonally better paid than carriers on routes
Of twenty miles or more.
This advance in pay fer carriers and
substitutes it is estimated, will result in an
approximate increase of $1,9OO.OOO in the cost
of rural delivery service

TRAINMEN MAY NOT STRIKE
Vote Being Taken, but Result VIII
Not he known Until
Tuesday.

CLEVELAND, March 8o-P. II. Morrisey,
grand master Of the Brotherhood OF Rail-
way Trainmen, said today there was no
truth In the report that the traiumen em-
ployed on roads west Of Chicago had re-
jected the wage scale recently offered by
the general managers Of the various lines
and that the men had voted to strike II
their demands were not granted. Mr.. Nor
rissey said that while II was true that
vote was being taken on the ofrer Of the
managers, the result could not be decided
before next Tuesday.
Mr.. Morrissey will go to Chicago early
next week to be present when the votes
are counted
The officials OF the Brotherhood Of Rail-
way Trainmen generally express the opin-
ion that a peaceful settlement OF the wage
question on the western roads will be
reached and that the possibilities of a strike
are very remote.
KANSAS CITY, Mo, March 9O-The Star
today says; Many extra brakemen, known
on the road ss student brakemen," have
been employed by the Santa Fe Railway
company. About twenty-five new names
have been placed on the extra board" at
the shops in Argentine. New men are be-
ing added to the working force at all di-
vision points on the Santa Fe system. En-
ployes believe that the railroad company
is employing the student brakemen" IN
anticipation OF a strike.

MAN KILLS WIFE AND HIMSELF
James KimberIin and His Victim Both
Dead When the Police
Arrive

In a little dingy room at 1904 Dodge street
there occurred a double tragedy last night
at 9:15 o'clock which ended the lives of
James Kimberlin and his wife, Visie.
There were no witnesses TO the tragedy,
but the man and woman were found dead,
he with a bullet hole just behind the left
ear and stlll grasping a 32-caliber pistol
in his hand and she with a bullet hole in
both her breasts and one behind her left
ear. Both parties are colored. and both
apparently about 30 years old.
Mrs. Maggie Mitchell, who has a room
back OF the one they occupied, and OF whom
they rented, heard several pistol shots in
their room and telephOned the police. When
the police broke in the door they were met
with a ghastly sight. The two corpses
were lying on the floor, the mans head rest
ing in the woman's lap, both their faces
powder burned and splattered with blood
Every appearance indicates that the man
murdered the woman and then turned his
pistol on himself.
Little is known OF the couple IN Omaha
they having come here from PEORIA ILL.,
about three months ago. Papers in his
pockets indicate that his mother, Louisa
Kimberlin, lives al S14 Commercial avenue
Peoria, The bodies were taken charge OF
by Coroner Bradley and an inquest will be
held today.
