Systematic Scheme Adopted There For
Highway improvement.
Ten years ago the building Of good
roads in Maryland was begun by the
state geological survey, says the New
York Sun. The results were an object
lesson to the people, who were so I'M
pressed with the advantages Of scien-
tifically constructed highways that they
were heartily in favor Of the bond Is
sue of $5,000,000 authorized by the leg
islature last winter. The new fund Is
to be used in the making Of 1000 miles
Of highways throughout the state with
n the next five years.
So Maryland is to expend $1,0OO,OOO
year in building these main arteries
for wagon transportation. The person
mel Of the new commission Of six MEM
bers seems to assure the judicious eX-
penditure of the money. The state geo.
logical survey is represented on the
commission by its director, DR.. w. b.
Clarke; by Governor Crothers, and by
President Remsen of Johns Hopkins
Inc COMMISSION Is 10y li6 Out S'S ANNN
mile system, and the construction OF
the entire work will be In charge OF
the engineers Of the geological survey.
There was very loud demand from
the press of Maryland, from the busi-
ness associations of Baltimore, and
from the agricultural societies for wise
conservation Of this fund, so that every
dollar of it might contribute fully to
the economic purpose in view; and
there is no reason to doubt that the
fund is properly safeguarded against
political manipulation.
Twenty years ago we seemed CEN
tury behind Europe in this important
phase of civilization. Now many OF
our states are carrying out well-de-
v,,d plans for road Improvement.
Cool highways are money savers. by
turni:., {. very poor road into a fine
highway we reduce the cost Of haulage
by from to Z cents ton mile. we
still have wagon roads as poor as some
in China, where the cost Of coal freight
age is so high that the commodity can
not be carried to a market over twen-
ty-five miles away.

At one stage of the game the
Standard was pretty well crowded

SEATTLE, Sept. 29.-Brought to

than so members of the First
Christian church attended services
for the first time since Rev. Joseph

Garvin arose to preach his sermon

into the wrinkled faces and on
the silvered hair of many who
through infirmity had been unable
to attend church, and now heard
him for the first time.
So many were they that he felt
almost like stranger addressing
a congregation to which he was

Was 1t Ghost of Brother?

Miss Isla Stewart, for Fl years ma
iron of st. Bartholomew hospital,
London, recently told this story at a
public dinner given in her honor:
Some years ago, in one of her wards,
lay little boy who was dying of hip
disease. He was an orphan with only
one brother, sailor then serving
on British warship in Chinese wa
tiers. One morning the boy told her
that he had had such happy night, as
he had dreamed that his brother was
with him at his bedside. When the
night nurse came to report she said
that she had had curious experience.
When looking along the ward during
the night she had been astonished to
see a sailor in the ward beside the
boys bed. Resenting the Intrusion,
she had gone to the bed to inquire into
the matter, when she found there was
nobody there. Twice afterward dur.
ing the night she had seen the same
apparition. At last she turned down
the gas and altered the position of
some plants. After that she did not
see the sailor again.

The good people of Reno are very
much incensed over the city council
licensing saloon in the residence dis
4rict. 1t looks to an outsider as if Reno
had enough saloons in the business dis
trict for city of two or three times its
size without crowding more into the
residence district. Such action as this
by Renos city council will create a
temperance sentiment throughout the
state that will either result in higher
license and greater restrictions on the
saloons or will wipe them out entirely.
There is limit beyond which the people
cannot be driven in dealing with the
liquor traffic.
A lady recently left $1,000 year for
the comfort of her parrot. Far more
extraordinary was the bequest of an
Ohio gentleman, who left money for a
cat intirmary or sanitarium, which was
to have rat holes for sport and ample
grounds for exercise. The same
testator, wishing to give some consola-
ton to the feline race, whom he sup,
posed to supply the material named
catgut, left directions for his intestines
to be made into fiddle strings, and
these to be sold, the proceeds to be
used for the purchase of an accordion
which one of the nurses at this cat
intirmary was to play continually for
the delectation of the cats.

Sentenced to be Hanqed

|
When we went to press Wednesday,
John Dolan, convicted of murder in the
first degree, was before the district
court for sentence.
The proceedings opened by ATTORNEY
Taber filing a motion for new trial on
statutory grounds. This motion was
submitted without argument and
promptly denied by the court
The defendant was then given an
opportunity to talk He spoke for over
twenty minutes in rambling manner
and criticised every body connected with
his trial. He had nothing but bitter
ness for the man he murdered and for
the world in general. He finally reach
ed the period in his life when he went
to the Philippines, but Judge Brown,
who had listened patiently to Dolan's
rambling talk, quietly told him that he
could not go to the Philippines with
him and that he (Dolan) had talked
lfong enough. There was nothing in
lDolan's rambling talk but complaint
against everybody. In his opinion, he
was right in everything and everybody
else was wrong. Not a word of peni-
tence or sorrow for his crime passed
his lips. .....
AT the conclusion of Dolan's talk, At.
torney Taber moved for the arrest of
judgement on the ground that Dolan
was insane and that an insane man
could not be legally punished. Mr..
Taber read lengthy affidavit, made by
himself, setting forth the grounds, of his
application The affidavit reviewed
at length Dolans mental condition as
revealed to Mr.. Taber after his appoint
ment to defend him. AS all the matters
set forth in the affidavit had been
passed upon adversely to the defendant
by jury, Judge Brown overruled the
motion.
Dolan was then told to stand ND and
Judge Brown sentenced him to be
hanged by the neck until dead on the
day to be named in the death warrant.
Dolan took the sentence without show
ing any emotion and with the same in
difference that characterized him dur
ing the trial AS Judge Brown pro-
nounced the words and may God have
mercy on your SOUL" Dolan said that's
pretty good or that's pretty fine
Judge Brown has fixed Fyiday, Feb
ruary 10. 1909, as the day upon which
Dolan is to pay the penalty for his
crime. The case will probably be APP
pealed and this will lengthen Dolan's
time on earth.
Deputy Sheriff Harris left on No. 3
this afternoon for Carson with Dolan
and Christian Scott, who will begin his
| 11-years' term tomorrow.
