SIR WALTERS PIPE
Raleigh Smoked It Just Before His
 Execution

From the London Daily Telegraph
 The idea that a man in the old days
 could go to his execution smoking a pipe
 amounts to possibility, and has proba- bly happened more than once in history,
 but though historians are dumb on the point it would not be outrageously sur | prising to be assured on unimpeachable | authority that Sir Walter Raleigh be- | trayed such outward and visible evidence | of defiant calm. 1t is just what the historian of the world" would have been capable of, and if certain evidence, which is now forthcoming, is to be believed, Sir Walter did as a fact smoke weird and
 wonderful pipe until the moment before his execution.
 The pipe which it is alleged was the in strument of this admirable piece of rom
 ance is now in the possession of MT J. c.
 Stevens of No. 3S King street. Covent Gar den. He has been instructed to sell it on behalf of it's present owner, and whoever
 may ultimately become possessed of what is believed to be a genuine Raleigh relic
 will no doubt set a high value upon it..
 The pipe, as seen by a representative of
 the Daily Telegraph. has no counterpart
 in anything to be seen today in the win
 dow of a tobacconists shop. Any one
 found attempting to control it would be
 suspected of failing to produce sound
 from an undersized hybrid kind of bag
 pipe. It is not unlike the letter ''Y' in
 shape, and for centuries now has had its
 home in ancient inlaid box dated
 "Anno 1527''
 It is constructed of four pieces of wood,
 rudely carved with dogs heads, and with
 the faces of Red Indians. On the bowl
 there is a cap about as large as the bowl
 itself, and attached to the stem is string
 of beads made of the same wood as the
 pipe. Tn this stem a powerful whistle
 has been cut and the suggestion is that
 Sir Walter Raleigh used 1t to summon
 his servants. After smoking the pipe just
 previous to his execution he handed 1t to Bishop Andrewes. who administered the last sacrament. The Carews of Bedding ton. Govers of Croydon, and William Andrew Bryant, an antiquarian success ivey owned the pipe, and it is worth not ing that they all claim descent from Bishop Andrewes. The Archa eological society exhibited it at the Guildhall in the sixties of the last century, the inscrip- ton accompanying it bearing these words: '"rhe orieinal pipe of the above celebrated Historian of the World. and who first in- troduced tobacco and potatoes into Eng | land. Tradition, corrOborated by a parch- nnent in the possession of the owner states that this pipe was used by Sir Walter Raleigh on the scaffold inst pre- 7-ious to his execution and handed to one | If his relatives as a momento of him It I has been pronounced by an American | rent1eman to be made of virginia maple wood which colony he founded. namine I,'t after Eiizabeth, the virgin Queen" 1 Buiwer Lytton. it is related. wished to purchase the relic, but was told that 'ii | was not to be sod-not for any amount T

Cardinal Cheverus

From the HartfOrd COuraht.
 A good many papers have spoken of Archbishop O'Connell as 'the first New England Cardinal" and Dr. Samuel A. Green feels the pricking of a doubt. To be sure John Louis Lefehre de Cheverus was Frenchman by birth and was Arch bishop of, Bordeaux when he got his red hat, but for 13 years he was Bishop of Boston, her first and universally beloved bishop. Protestants were as fond of him as his own people; he often preached in 'heir churches. When he needed money in his work men like John Quincy Adams say. ir promptly and gladly. Who among our -relifsous preachers once asked Dr. Charming, would solicit a comparison between himself and the de voted Cheverus?" f

Yuma, Ariz., May 20.-Three hundred thousands dollars damage has already been done it is estimated, to the dam re- gently completed by the United States government at Bee river, on the Colorado river, by the summer rise of the stream and as the crest of the flood has not reached this point, much more damage is looked for.
 The Colorado yesterday broke through the levee about 400 yards north of the dam, washing out nearly POO yards of the levee, and later made similar break three miles further nortn. The breaks are small and probably will te closed without difficulty.

WOMEN CLERKS MAY
 PERFO ORM MARRIAGE

Montgomery, May 20.-(Special)-T legislature adjourned more than a month ago, and while much that was done by that body has been forgotten, there were numerous other measures passed which are yet fresh In the public memory, and these do not include the liquor laws. One of the bills which passed both houses, and to which little publicity was ever given. was the measure giving to women who hold the position of chief clerk in the probate offices of the state the right to perform the duties of men holding that position. The right thus given the women allow them the privilege of per forming the marriage ceremony, and while 1t Is not known whether or not any of them have availed themselves of this perogative, the privilege Is none the less theirs, and it is anticipated that number of marriages will be performed during the present. year by women. The legislature gave them the right to per form this ceremony, and it is safe to say they will not neglect such an op- portunity.
