SWEET ANCERED BY
CLYNN'S ATTITUDE
Declares Governor Recon-

Followed Another.
SPEAKER TELLS OF
TAMMANY ALLIANCE
Says Executive, Advising Cur.
tailment of Expenses, Kept
Hangers.On in Office.

Speaker Sweet. somewhat tagged from
the late sessions Of the Assembly just adj
journed. arrived in the city yesterday,
still indignant at what he termed Gov
ernor Glynn's defiance OF public opin-
ION" The Speaker was frank in his criti-
cism OF the Governors attitude toward
the Legislature In it's special session.
Although the Governor recommended
economy In his general message he said.
'he poured upon us a flood OF special
messages recommending new boards and
departments and fresh avenues OF ex-
pense Under this pressure the Assembly
yielded only In a few instances where the
recommendations seemed to be supported
by public demand and necessity.
The credit OF keeping appropriations
down to point that permitted the
abolition OF the direct state tax this year
belongs to the Republican majority In
the Assembly. Senator Frawley intro
duced a direct state tax bill and It was
passed on an emergency message from
the Governor With the $40 900 cut by
the Assembly from the budget prepared
by John II. Delaney. Commissioner Of
Efficiency and Economy, the Governor
had an opportunity to reverse himself on
a direct state tax and veto the bill. whose
passage he had recommended
ION several occasions the Governor in
messages recommended strict economy In
the transaction Of state business. In his
annual message he said: Needless en-
ployes must be dropped from the service,
unnecessary offices must be abolished,
and wherever possible the consolidation
OF bureaus must be accomplished During
the entire period OF the regular session
he failed to follow this general recon-
mendation with single specific recon-
mendaton for the abolition of useless
office. On the contrary, he recommended
the creation Of more offices. Further
than that. he aligned himself with the
Democratic majority in the Senate In the
struggle to retain two departments whose
uselessness has been a matter Of general
comment from one end Of the state to
the other
ION the first day OF the special session
the Assembly adopted resolution re-
questing the Governor to transmit to the
Legislature his recommendations as to
the adjustment of unnecessary offices
and employees Instead of complying
with the respectful request of co-ordi-
nate branch of the state government the
Governor paid no attention to the request
further than to characterize it as the
frailest piece of political buncombe ever
handed out in either branch of the Legis-
lature in at least a century.
This contemptuous treatment of
proper request from the Assembly.
coupled with the Governors efforts to
retain the Department OF Efficiency and
Economy, to my mind constitutes de-

GREAT INFLUENCE OF BEAUTY
Though Too Often Ignored, 1t Is as
Deep and Useful a Part of Life

Beauty is as deep and as useful q
part of our general life as is what we
term utility. 1t has just such a rea.
o for being; 1t has a similar force;
it has a set place in the scheme of the
world. Eyes not fully opened to the
beautiful are not wholly alive to the
influence Of beauty upon our lives and
actions. Alas! sometimes we SCOT

That is to say, the highest human ex-

Those even greater beauties, which
are divine expressions, we ignore.

CHAPTER TX.

Not the least of the causes which
nave brought Mexico to the brink Of
u abyss is the endless quarrel be
tween church and state, which has al
most destroyed the sanctity off, mar

ltage of deserted women and father,

rage, only to be told that it is not
legal in the eyes of the law; and many
another, married by the Judge, has
peen gravely informed by the padre
that the woman is only his mistress,
and the children born out of wedlock.
So that now, to be sure that she is
welded, a woman must be married
twice, and many a couple, on account
OF the prohibitive fees, are never mar
ried at all.
Cruz Mendez was no different from
the men of his class, and he believed
honestly that he was married to the
comely Maria; but Hooker could have
enlightened him IN that point if he
had cared to do it.
Bud was playing a game, with the
Eagle Tail mine for a stake: and. be-
ing experienced at poker, he stood pat
and studied his hand. Without doubt
Mendez had lost his usefulness as a
locator of the mine, since Maria was
not his legal wife and could not sign
the transfer papers as such. Accord
ing to the law Of the land, the woman
now living with Aragon's mayordomo
was the Legitimate" wife of the con
tract, and she alone could release title
to the mine once Mendez denounced
the claim.
But Mendez had not yet denounced
the claim-though for a period of
some thirty days yet he had the ex-
elusive privilege Of doing so-and Bud
did not intend that he should.
