COLLAPSED AND CRIED.
Never Did Believe Board and Cover.
 nor Would Save Him.

Chicago, June 10.-When the news of the decision of the pardon board and Governor Deneen was taken to Billek he collapsed and cried bitterly, Well. if they are going to hang me, let them go ahead" he said, drying his eyes. "l am ready-I never did be. lieve that they would do anything for me. I've always been unlucky. don't care so much for myself. but 1 do care for the sake of my wife and children" All efforts to calm him was of no avail.
 The accusation against Bllek was that as the agent of Mrs. Veral. who afterward committed suicide, he mur. dered the woman's husband, and four of the Veral children. The alleged motive was life insurance money. Ac- cording to the prosecution the method was the use of medicine" prescribed by the fortune teller. Largely through the efforts of Father O'Callahan an affidavit was recently made by one of the principal witnesses against Bill lek, Jerrey Veral eighteen years old and survivor of the Veral family that the testimony given against Bill lek by the affiant was wholly untrue. .

OUR FRENCH CRITICS.

When war broke out between the
United States and Spain in 1898 the
newspapers of Paris confidently pre-
dicted victory for Spanish arms. The
American army and navy were referred
to in terms of contempt and a French
adpiral was quoted as saying that a
Spanish sailor was equal to a dozen
American sailors. When Cervera's fleet
started across the ocean, French
Critics believed, and hoped. that
it would a~nnihilate the American war
ships and ravage the Atlantic coast.
When Dewey sailed for Manila his
destruction was as confidently looked
for. The false news, received in Paris,
of a repulse of the American fleet in
Manila Bay was received with accla-
nations in Paris, followed by gloom
when the American victory became
known.
The ridiculous ease with which tbs
Spanish navy was wiped out, without
injury to any American warship, con.
founded expert" French criticism
But it is assertive again in the case

THE SOLDIERS CHEAP PAY.

The government should be governed
by the rules of private business in its
employment of men. When a private
employer mi get labor at a certain
price he raises the rate and Their gets
what he needs. The government needs
a disciplined army, and it is $1,000 short
Of its requirements. The pay of the
soldier is absurdly small and hence
with wages high in all civil occupations
there are assertions galore and few en-
listments.
A bill introduced in Congress proposes
to increase the enlisted mems pay 80
per cent, and that is small enough con-
sidering the meagre wage now paid.
An advance of 20 per cent. in the pay
of officers will be a boon to the junior
officers who are now compelled to live
from hand to mouth. The government
has tried and failed to maintain an
army on a scale of pay per month not
equal to a day laborer's wage in a
week..

TACOMA Jan. 16. Fabulously
wealthy for an hour and then back to
the mediocre financial basis of the or
binary prospector was the fate of John
II. Davis, of this city. and a companion.
The men found an immense monolith
lying in the forest on the head-waters
of the Skagit River, which ran twenty
two ounces in silver to the ton and was
from twenty to thirty per cent. lead.
Imagining that they had discovered one
of the richest mines ever in
the Cascades, they staked out claims,
only to n after careful investigation
that the stone was simply lying on the
top of the ground and with no apparent
ledge to be found.
The men had gone into the Skagit
River foothills looking for a placer
mine prospect, reports of which had
come to them. When they came to the
spot wher the placer .diggings were
supposed to be their investigation
proved thai there was no placer dust
worth the name to be found. Indica-
lions, however, pointed to the locality
as a good region for prospecting and
they began to skirmish over the foot
hills.
