Wkkt Toist, May 4. The Whittaker
examination was resumed this morning,
and Ames, penmanship expert, gave as the
result of his investigations that the most
intimate resemblance existed between
the writing in the note of warning and the
piece of writing designated as number 1
ami its duplicates, and that the writing
of the person who wrote number 23 had
been ued as a copy, and that the note of
warning is very skillfully executed. He
also stated that the sheets of pencil
writing marked A and U were iu his opin
ion w ritten by the Mine pcison who wrote
number 23, but be understood the recorder
as saving positively that they were not,
in which case bethought the writing on
these two sheets deserved careful at
tention, as whoevei wrote them might
easily have simulated the writing of
number 23 in the note of warning.
Albert Southworth, a noted expert from
Boston, was sworn and papers placed in
his hands to examine. Ames report is
to Ihi submitted to the board of experts
to which Ames will be appointed.

Fatal Row. .
Eureka, May 3. This morning at about
3 o'clock Billy Martin was killed by
Johnny Brent, the latter being Wells,
Fargo St Co.'s messenger between Eureka
and Palisade. The difficulty occurred in
the Tiger saloon while the parties were
seated at a table drinking beer. They
had been together making the rounds of
saloons during the night, and seemed the
best of friends. Martin had killed several
men in his time, and was considered a
desperate man. Brent was known to be
quick and game, so a most trivial disa
greement between such men was sufficient
to lead to a fatal encounter. Brent was
heard to say that he was as good a man as
anybody. Martin Immediately arose from
the table and shooting commenced.
Either three or four shots were fired and
Martin was instantly killed. A bull took
effect in his side, and ranged upward,
breaking his neck. He hardly breathed
after being shot. Brent was lodged in
jail.
Mayor Kalloch Impeached.

the judiciary committee, who had been
instructed to take into consideration the
utterances and addresses of Mayor Kalloch
and to report what, if any incendiary lan
gungo he has used publicly, and to report
proper action to be taken by the board in
the premises, filed a long report reviewing
tho history of t he labor agitation and tho
part borne in it by Kalloch. finding that
he has encouraged a lawless and dis
contented element, advised them to pa
rade the streets and endeavored to keen
them in such disposition and tempera
ment as to commit an outbreak whenever
it should suit his purposes; that he has im
peached the honesty of the whole commu
nity, accused various branches of tho city
government of corruption and dereliction
of duty, and under pretense of counseling
a mob against violence insiduously ad
vised them to be in readiness for blood
shed and overthrow of the authorities.
Thby expressed the opinion that Kalloch
is unscrupulous and unprincipled and
devoid of integrity and fidelity to public
interests, and that tne time bas arrived
for the board to express their condemna
tion of his acts and recommend that
prompt action be taken to vindicate the
fair fame of the municipality by a Judic
ial inquiry into kalloch a case.
A motion to adopt tho report was put
by Mayor Kalloch, who announced on
viva voce voto that it was carried. The
roll was called, resulting in an unanimous
vote for adoption.
A resolution was then adopted which
authorized the finance committee to cause
judicial proceedings to be instituted
against the Mayor for his removal from
office and empowering them to employ
counsel and prosecute the matter to a
speedy termination. Throughout the
reading or the report and tue resolution,
Kalloch appeared cool and unmoved, ap
pearing to consider only tue tugniiy oi
lis position as presiding officer of the
board.

" Bold Statements of a German Socialist.
Berlin. May 5. In a debate on the
antisocialists bill in the reiclistag yester

of his political creed, which causes a com

IIow She Kept an Expense Account
"My dear fellow," said Lavonder,
"it's all vorv nice to talk about econo
mizing and keeping a right rigid account
of expenses and all that sort ol tiling,
but I've tried it. Two weeks ago I stop
ped on my way home, and I bought just
the gayest little Russia-leather, cream
laid paper account book you ever saw,
and a silver pencil to match it. I said
to my wife, after supper:
"My dear, it seoms to me that it costs
us a lot of monoy to keep hoiiso."
She sighed and said:
"I know it does, Lavvy, but I'm sure
I can't help it. I'm just as economical as
I can be. I don't spend half as much
money for candy as you do for cigars."
"I never take any notice of personali
ties, so I sailed right ahead. I beliove,
my dear, that if we were to keep a strict
account of everything we spend we could
toll just where to out down. I've bought
you a little account book, and every
Monday morning I'll give you some
money, and you can set it down on one
sido, and then, during the week, yon can
sot down on the other side everything
you spend, and then on Saturday night
we can go over it and see just where the
money goes and how we can boil things
down a little."
Well. sir. she was just delighted
thought it was a first-rato plan, and the
pocket account book was lovely regular

we got through supper and she brought
out the account book as proud as possi

fifty dollars." That's all right! Then I
looked on the other pago. "Spent italll"

Proud or His Work.
There is a natural satisfaction experi
enced in the contemplation of tho results
of diligent and well-directed toil. The
workman's grandest monument is the
work which he has completed. He
looks at it, and rejoices in it. Even "the
Lord shall rejoice in his works;'' and in
similar rejoicing all true workers have
somo right to participate.
But as our good works may be an oc
casion of rejoicing, so the evil which
men do, not only lives after them, in
dark and terriblo permanence, but it
often confronts them, haunts them with
its shadow, and shows to them the dire
and terriblo results of wrong doing even
in this life.
During a recent discns?ion of the tem-
Jieraneo question in the Canadian par
iament, Mr. Ford, of Queen county, re
ferred to a member of ono of the families
in the province, who hod not long before
been laid in a panper'a grave in conse
quence ot being addicted to the nse of
intoxicating drink, and remarked that
such a circumstance was "a temperance
lecture in a nutshell."
Mr. Pugh, member from Halifax, im
mediately arose, and in opposition to Mr.
Ford, stated that he was a liquor-seller,
and that the bnsiness was just as honor
able and legitimate as a carriage
builder's. ,
This remark called np Mr Ford again
and he said: "I build carriages, and
when I turn out a fine wagon, aud pnt it
to rolling along the streets, I say, 'That
is my work.' I would a&k the honorable
member from Halifax if he is proud of
his wo.-k, as he sees it rolling along the
street"
There was no answer to this question;
il was a question, that answered itself.
"Oh, come oo, let's have some fun," sayi
a ragged urchin to little knee breeches.
"Can't. Mother won't let me." S'poee
she won't. Ask your dad." "It's no nse

and I catch the ferrule if I try to vote
against instructions."
Some of Lln-hslen's Strange Stories.

in the book the post of guardian angel
or tutelary deity to a certain town is
given after a competitive examination.
In many of tho tales, however, it is l0Ve

in the story of "The Laughing Girl" we
have the hero Wang picking up a sprig
of plum blossom which the heroine had
dropped at the Ftast of Lanterns. He
treasures it up and wastes away for love
of her just as if he were a modern hero.
The priests are called in by his mother
to see whether the youth is bewitched.
He sets off for the hill country in hope
of meeting with the girl again and takes
with him the driod-up sprig of blonaon.

of his love.
"You needn't make suoh a fuss about
a triflle," she roplied. "I'll give orders
to supply you with a whole baskelfull of
flowers when you leave."
Wang told her that she did not under
stand. He said: "I didn't caro for the
flower itself; it was the person who pick
ed the flower."
"Of course," answered she, "every
body cares for their rolations. You
needn't have told me that."
"I wasn't talking about ordinary rela
tions," said Wang, "but about huabandi
and wives."
"What's tho difference?" asked Ying
ning. .
"Why," replied Wang, "husband and
wife are always together." ,
"Just what I shouldn't like," cried
she, "to be always with anybody."
Wang marries hor, but is troubled by
his wife's immoderate laughter. He
learns that her mother had been a kind
of witch. In many of these stories wa
read of foxes who had tho power of
changing themselves into the shape of
human beings. From such a fox Ying
ning was said to be sprung. She owns
to him that she was the daughter of a
fox and that for the ten years before her
marriage she had been brought up under
the charge of the disembodied spirit of
an old woman. Hor foster mother's body
was! lying unburied and she begs her
husband to appease the discontented
shade. They find her bones in a thicket
of brambles and bury them in the family

came to thank hor foster-daughter.
