QUEEN OF ALL PIPES.
Smoked by Shah of Persia, and Said
to Be Worth $4,000.

The queen of pipes belongs to the
Shah of Persia. Why is the great
chieftain of pipes {. queen? Probably
because pipe is feminine noun in
French.
The little shah's pipe was smoked
by his father before him, and by his
uncle, and by his grandfather. and
how many more of the rulers of Da-
RUSS kingdom we know not The pipe
is adorned with all kinds of precious
stones and is said to be worth $4,000.
1t is constantly guarded by a high
court funetionary, whose duties allow
him as much leisure as the superin-
| tendent of the Persian arsenal; but as
! there is no arsenal in Persia, so the
extent of the sinecure may be Judged
Still this funetionary is responsible
This is how his Office was created:
once a grand vizier was found trying
to pry out a stone from the pipe with
his poignard. Then the office of
guardian of the imperial pipe was Gre
lated. What became of the grand viz

Davis Contract Void.

The supreme court of Maine has
handed to the Governor and Council its
decision upon the question raised by
the Kennebec Journal last July-the le-
| gality of contracts made with the
State by concerns in which the heads
of State departments are directly or
| indirectly interested.
The specific case was that of Cyrus
w. Davis, secretary of State for Maine,
and his publishing house, the Water
vile Sentinel, in contract with the
| state for public printing.
The supreme bench decides, unani-
and void. The claim of the kennebec
Journal is confirmed. Every member
Of the supreme bench affixed his sig
nature to the finding. There was no
dissenting opinion.
The law is plain and direct; its OBJ
ject could not be questioned; its pur-
pose is obvious. The question should
have been decided, AT ONCE, by the
Governor and Council. The supreme
court should not have been asked to
review so trivial a matter
Indeed, if the legal talent upon the
Council had not the courage of its con-
vietions to declare such contracts
void, Mr.. Davis. himself. should have
taken the Initiative. when the law was
called to his attention. Instead, the
secretary of State assumed the un-
enviable position or being familiar
with the law, yet wilfulIy leading the
Governor and Council into an illegal
contract, for the sake of the few hum
bred dollars "peeuniary interest" which
he would realize.
In the editorial columns of Secre- |
tary of State Davis paper on July 81,

we're assured that Mr.. Davis had mot

There is specimen of Democratic |
Ring regard for law Not only are
such as the prohibitory law reviled and |
ridiculed. but laws for the safe con-
duet of the States financial business
are brazenly violated

mel wonder that the Governor and his
near political associates cry there are
no teeth in the law. when it is Tor
their "pecuniary interests" that the
laws be not enforced?
