reader of the New York Sun
writes 10 that paper calling attention
10 the fact that women cashiers al
ways look as though they had a grudge
against the world and everything in it.
The lady cashier has become an in
stitution in New York, and may be,
round IN almost every hotel, restaurant
and business house where much
money is handled. And, according to
this correspondent, she always wears
the stern, forbidding face.
Ihe correspondent naturally Won
GERS what her object is. He is of the
opinion that she would make friends
for her employers, and consequently
improve their business. if she would
unbend little. She need not be friv
oIous or coquettish, but she might
smile occasionally without doing yio-
lence TO her reputation.
AS matter of fact the frozen face
Is characteristic of cashiers, men and
women, all over the country, and a
good many people have wondered in
an idle way, why it is necessary When
a patron of a business establishm ent
spends his money he should be greeted
with some show of cordially, but he
generally finds himself IT. an arctic at
mosphere, that takes all the enthusi-
asm out of him.
This matter should be investigated
at once, and while we a1e it there
might be some satisfaction in trying
to discover why hotel clerks, all over
the country, consider it the proper
thing to clothe themselves with an
awful dignity, instead of being urbane
and companionable Many excellent

go to a hotel and be chilled to the

LEFT MONEY TO AGED HORSES
Eccentric Hungarian's Will Being Con-
tested by Relatives.


The highly original will Of bache.
lor, Emil Won Bizony. is published in
the Hungarian papers. Mr.. Won BIZ
zony, the brother Of we'll known Hun
garian deputy. was sixty-five, detested
women and was on bad terms with all
his relatives. Although the owner OF
great deal Of land, he lived so fru-
gally that he did not spend the tenth
part of his income.
In his will he bequeathed all his real
and personal property to his twelve
draft horses. AS executors of the will
he named the Society For the Protec-
ton of Animals at Budapest, stipu-
lating that the interest on his property
should be devoted to the care Of these
twelve animals and that upon the
death Of one Of them another aged
horse was to be taken in and cared
for so that the number Of twelve
might always be maintained.
Herr Won Bizony's relatives natural
~ did not like the will, and the deputy
will dispute it. Negotiations have
been begun with the above mentioned
society, and $4,000 was offered it as
compromise, but was refused. The
property is worth about 100000.

Goats, on the Contrary, Eat Almost
Everythinu,

An apology is due to the farmyard
pig. who has been grossly maligned in
regard to his food. Instead of being
ready to eat anything he has just
proved himself the most fastidious of
animals. Experiments recently carried
on in France and Sweden show this
to be the case. 49,. -....
In Sweden the record tells that out
of 575 plants the goat eats 40 and
refuses 126, the sheep, out Of 494
plants, eats 3S7 and refuses al; out
of 52S plants the COW eats ZIG and re-
fuses 21S, out Of 474 plants the horse
eats 262 and refuses PIP, and the pig,
out Of 243 plants. eats only Y and re-
fuses the other III.

the law will tell it unless they have to
But since the attorney general has
ruled that the legislature is within its
constitutional rights in undertaking
the investigation and that it may pun
ish recalcitrant witnesses for con
tempt, it is probable that there will
be some interesting developments.
Governor Colquitt maintains his at.
titude of aloofness, maintaining that
the legislature has trenehed upon the
executives authority. In this position
he Is backed by the minority in both
houses, which is strong enough to pre-
vent the majority from overriding his
veto. For this reason it is not eX-
pected that any drastic saloon regula-
ton measures can be enacted at this
session.
The focal point of'interest at the be-
ginning of the third week is as to what
the governor will do with the lump
appropriation for the attorney gen.
erals office. If he vetoes it, it will put
the legal department of the govern
ment out of business, a condition
which the people can not be expected
to tolerate. If he approves it, it will
make his enemy, Mr.. Lightfoot indie
pendent of the executive authority.
On the whole, it is an interesting
political game, in which the opponents
of the governor hold tho most of the
trumps, but the outcome depends
chiefly on the skill of the players.

NATIONAL RIFLE MEET

Camp Perry, Ohio, Aug. 14.-Follow-

Crack riflemen from nearly every

ed States government is in full charge
of the range, with Brig. Gen. r. X

BiATTIE BEFORE GRAND JURY

Richmond, Va, Aug. l4-In the old
Chesterfield courthouse, five miles
from Richmond, grand jury met to-
day to take up the case of Henry Clay
Beattie, Jr., the twenty siX-year-old son
of Manchester banker. who is
charged with the cold .blooded murder
of his beautiful young wife, who was
shot to death while riding with her
husband in his automobile on the Mid.
lothian turnpike the night of July Is.
The victim of the terrible deed had
only recently given birth to a child
and was taking her first outing follow
ing her confinement.
Painters and paperhangers had put
in their best efforts on the old court
house and it presented spick and
span appearance today when the
grand jurors assembled to begin their
inquiry into the most sensational
crime that has startled Virginians in
a generation. The Indictment, which
has been passed on by some of the
best attorneys of the Old Dominion
and declared to be flawless, is ready
for the signatures of the grand jurors.
Seventeen-year-ol Beulah Binford
the pretty but wild little girl whose
intOmacy with Beattie is believed to
have led to the tragedy, and Paul d.
Beattie, a cousin of the accused, who
says that he bought for Henry Clay
Beattie, Jr., the shotgun with which
the shooting was done, are the prin-
cipal witnesses, and have been held
in Jail in order that their testimony
may be certainly available when
needed
Beattie continues to insist that it
was highwayman, with a shotgun,
who held him up and who shot Mrs.
Beattie. This account of the crime he
gave out when he drove his automo-
bile into Richmond on the night of
the crime, holding the bloodstained
body of his dead wife in his arms. A.
pathetic phase of the case is that the
aged father of Beattie and the parents
of the wife he is alleged to have killed
continue on friendly terms Mr.. Owen,
father of the victim, simply declares,

THE LEGISLATURE.

While devoting most of its time to
Investigations of alleged election
frauds and Irregularities the legisla.
ture is not neglecting business. The
appropriations bill has passed both
houses and it is expected that it will
90 to the governor this week.
Beyond preparing some tentative
bills by individual members but little
progress has been made in redistrict'
ing the state. This is the hardest prob
lem before the legislature, because
strenuous and persistent efforts will
be made to form the congressional dis
tricts in, the interest of or in opposi-
ton to Senator Bailey, and the sena-
torial and representative districts in
the interest of or in opposition u
statewide prohibition. 1t is expected
too, that aspiring statesmen of vari-
ous/degrees, and their friends, will be
on hand to see that their own private
ambitions do not suffer in the recon
struction of the districts. In the midst
of such a chaos of antagonistic forces
1t is impossible to yforesee what the
result will be.
The investigators haven't yet made
much progress because no attempt has
yet been made to compel witnesses to
testify and it is not to be expected
that those who know of violations OF
