GAVE THE JUDGE A SCARE
Practical Joker Probably Was Not In
Earnest, but Jurlst Took
! No Chances.

One of Mr.. ]. L.. Toole's little
jokes gave Mr.. Justice Hawkins a
great fright on one occasion, Accord
ing to a story told by Miss Soldene
in her ''Recollections."
Mr.. Hawkins was sitting in a
cause celebre at the Liverpool assizes
and Mr.. Toole was playing at one of
the Liverpool theaters. The judge
sent across to say he was sitting late,
and would Mr.. Toole come over after
the performance and have supper
with him. Mr.. Toole accepted the
invitation. During supper, talking
over the events of the day, Mr.. JUS
tice Hawkins said he should next day
"giye his man fifteen years." -.,.--
"Oh," said, Toole, on leaving,
@would yor mind me calling at the
different morning newspaper offices
and telling them about the fifteen
yearsY 1t will be tip for them
and do me no end of good with the
press-exclusive information, you
know, and so on
GOOD gracious, no, STRIP thun-
dered the judge, and walked with
Toole to his hotel, tucked him up,
and waited until the joker was fast
asleep and safe from temptation.

Advantage Of Concrete Buildings
It has been shown in practice that
concrete buildings require less aru-
nciAl light than those Of slow burning
mill construction. This Is owing to
the reflection Of light from the white
walls and ceilings and columns and
also to the fact that 1t is possible to
supply buildings Of this character with
greater window area.

strength and wisdom on the part of
the husband saves the situation.

Ss LAsoAR sEAs1sN PERISH.
Only -Four Survive--Captain and
Three Sailors Gain the Shore.

Aberdeen, Scotland, Jan. 18.-The
British steamer Wislow Hall was
wrecked early to-day on group Of
dangerous rocks off the coast Of Alb
erdeenshire. Fifty-lhree of her crew
were drowned. Thirty-five Of them
went down with the ship and others
clung to the wreckage, but only two
Of them succeeded in reaching shore
The seas were so huge that it was
impossible to launch q life boat. The
life boat crew Of the village Of Bull
ers tried several times to put out to
sea, but their craft was hurled back
onto the shore. Most Of the drowned
sailors were Lascars.
The Wislow Hall was vessel Of
2,139 tons and was built at Greenock,
Scotland, in 1890. She. was owned
by the Hall Line Of Liverpool.
Capt. StoddaTt, OF the Wislow Hail.
who was one Of those rescued, says
that his crew numbered Sc. Only
three Lascars and the captain reached
the shore, so 53 were drowned.
The captain says that the Wislow
Hall drlfted helplessly for hours be-
fore a terrific gale. Her fires were
eXtinguished, as the seas had flooded
the engine room during the night.

SENATE KILLS BILL OF JUDGES.
Proposed Taking Power from the
state Supreme Court.
(The State, 19th.)

~ s..f" |..E (luS OtdlcJ LSlu.
THE killing of the Earle bill taking
the selection and appointment Of
= special Judges out Of the hands of the
Supreme Court AMI putting them un-
der the jurisdiction Of the Chief Exec
utive was the chief item Of business
done in the Senate yesterday morn
ing.
Senator Earle's bill to amend Sec
ton 2743, Volume /, Code Of Laws, so
as to take the power to select and
appoint special judges from the Su-
rreme Court and place under the au-
tiority Of the Governor caused a pro-
longed debate. This was an adjourn
: ed debate measure.
Senator Earle asked for the pass
age Of the bill, saying that the ap-
y pointive power was executive and was
not judicial. He quoted extensively
from authorities, but disclaimed any
other motive than to straighten out
a tangle.
Senator Hall rebutted Mr.. Earle's
al SuuleulS ny Saying CnaC the L0BlS-
lature is the supreme power in regu-
lating who is the appointive agent.
This 1t had clearly given to the Su-
preme Court
Senator Carlisle said that generally
the lawyers did not go outside the
State to get their law to prove their
contentious, but that it was clearly
accepted rule to take the decisions of
the South Carolina Supreme Court as
binding and Of the highest authority.
There Is already decision governing
the point that Mr. Earle endeavors to
cover in his bin, in which it defines
that the only authority to recommend
special judges is in the hands Of the
Supreme Court.
Senator Earle then moved that the
unfavorable report Of the committee
be laid on the table, which was lost
by vote of 81 against and d for.
Upon the question being then put
the unfavorable report was adopted
and the bill rejected.

Tehsran, Persia, Jan. 15.-Revela-

liHessof the Americans who were
brought here by w. Morgan Shuster
TO assist him In his duties as treasu-
rer general, and who remained be-
hind after Mr.. Shuster departed, was
made$to-day by Frank E. Cairns, di-
rector Of tixation under Shuster.
Cairns also declared that conspir-
acy has been hatched at the instiga-
ton OF Russia to blacken Mr.. Shus-
ter's character. Charges that Shus-
ter used Persia's finances to .replen-
ish the Persian revolutionary war
chest arc being circulated.
The lawlessness which has deyel
upcd from Russian occupation of the
Northern Persian Provinces makes it
unsafe sor the Americans to venture
from the capital. Cairns denied accu-
sations Of Russian agents that Shus-
ter had paid any money to hired as
sassins, declaring that all Mr. Shus-
ter's transactions were duly record
ed ana are now in the hands Of NJ.

ment can be made. The Americans
are demanding pay for the full term

As to Home Rule for Alaska.
tWashin gton Post.I


Alaska is still shrinking back into
its boots, One after another, the
explorations that marked the con-
servation craze have been revealed
in their true proportions. The five
ndred-billion-dolla bargain we got
in the purchase Of the Territory Is
now seen .tonbe the yeriest buncombe.
Al Of the great discoveries" since
the prospecting for l;oid do2en
years or more ago nave had thcir
paper valuations discounted. Sucb
capital as mad been interested in de-
velopment schemes was driven out
by the undertaking campaign. The
"closed door policy has about done
It's worst.
To-day the revenue derived from
the taxable property Of Alaska is
100000 year, bcggarly showing,
indeed, in contrast with the popular
idea Of what the conditions are like.
1T costs the national government So
100000 year to administer the af-
fairs Of the Territory, or $4,000, 900
In excess Of the revenues. Neverthe-
less, the set Of politicians who had a
hand IN the Controller Bay and other
rake charges against the administra-
tion are agitating for q change of
government from Federal control to
home rule, which would put the bur
den of expense on the people, increas-
Ing the tax rate fivefold.
AS Governor Clark says, in criti-
cism Of the movement, "The people
should not forget that self-govern-
ment means self-support. Where
the money is to come from the ad-
vocates Of change do not say, nor
do they seem to care any more than
where the facts were to come from
to bolster up the gratuitous charges
they brought against the highest Off
cials at Washington. Home rule, in
the present state Of affairs, would,
in few years, reduce Alaska to the
level she occupied under Russian
rule--the final triumph Of mNck-rak-
ing.
