SET ADVICE
The fact that an attorney has written
some resident of the town that the coun
cil had no authority to tear down the
dangerous old shanties that disfigure
the city should not det* r the council
from going ahead in the matter. The
proper thing for the council to do woulj
be to appropriate 3 - joi of money to
pay some attorney to give his opinion
00 the matter. There would never be
any better expenditure of money than
that which would be spont in doing so
To a lay man it look^ as an open and
shut proposition that the city council
has a riff bt to abate a nuisance whether
It be in the nature of a danpetxw side
walk or a dangerous building, but it
would be better to lie legally advised
on the council may know what it can
do.
THE CENTRAL GIRL
Central telephone girK are cilled up- j
on by patrons for all sorts of favors,
from telling the time of day to supply
ing news from distant cities. They are
expected to know whether the train is
on time anil when the tire bell rings,
they are expected to tell a hundred sub
scriber* at once where the fire is. Ful
fillment of such duti?> are everyday af
fairs and are taken as a matter of course,
but a Rosenburg. Wash., woman, ac
cording to a paper in that city, has dis
covered a new method of getting value
for the telephone charge. A few days
ago, so the story run-, this woman
wanted to go down town for a few min
ute* and did not wish to take her baoy
along. After placing the baby in its
carriage in front of the telephone so
that she cou'd lay the receiver on the
pillow, she called up central, explained
the situation and asked central to listen
once in a while and if -he heard baby
crying to -un? to It over the phoae.
Then she went down town. The sequel
is not recorded.? Oregon i an.
Tte man who nominated Alton B.
Parser for :he presidency at St. Louis
about three years ajjo, has been retain
ed to defend Harry Ttiaw in his second
trial for the killing of Stanford White.
If the final outcome of bis efforts do not
pan out any better than did th >so in the
nominating episode. Th?w might just
as well h-?ve permitted his numa to
keep the 425,000 and get him a big fun
eral with the money.

sister, Josephine Sao Marco, an Italian
girl IS years old, yesterday attempted
to commit su'eide, and was baffled only
through the action of a drug cleric,
who suspected her purpose, substitut
ed ipecac for carbolic acid.
The girl's action weas based on
methods that are commonly ascribed to
the Black Hand in eastern cities, and
the police are Investigating a state
ment that the girl and her family had
been threatened with death by mem
bers of the local Italian colony.
I Tbree weeks ago Marie San Marco,
aged B, w as shot and killed by Sits La
Turco, a suitor of ber sister, who iB
alleged to have visited the house, with
the intention of wiping; out Miss San
Marco's family, who, he believed, were
opposing his suit. The child was shot
accidentally. La Turko was arrested
and is now in jail awaiting trial. Since
bis arrest it Is alleged, Miss San Marco
and members of her family have been
implored, cajoled and threatened by
friends and strangers who desire thit
the Kin should marry La Turko and
improve the laiter's chances of regain
Ing his liberty. The attempt at

hmband and his second wife are being
held, C O. Oakmait, the undertaker

The fact that arsenic was found may
go a long way towards freeing the mil

large amount of poison was found in lie
system of the dead woman.

HE WORKED IIS
Whitehorse Star:? George Williams,
a young man who has lost both feet and
one arm, arrived here Saturday and at
once began a systematic canvass of the
town as a professional beggar, notwith
standing the fact that he had been told
by Major Snyder at Carcross t hat he
could not beg in the Yukon.
Bui before the fellow had been here
an hour he had made a cleanup o? prob
ably $50. Lie managed to elude the
police until Sunday evening when he
was picked up and taken lo the
barracks where he was kept until
Tuesday morning when he was in
structed to take the train for the
outiide from whence he came, which
he did.
Williams, it is said, sent $I">0 away
from Skagway after a stay of four days
in this town. He went to Atlin last
week, made a thorough canvass of the
creeks and made another good clean
up. As there is no question hut the
fellow 19 a professional beggar, -the
action in shipping him out of the
country was a commendable one as
there are always provisions made for
taking care of such as he.
While everybody is willing to aid and
assist a cripple, yet ibere is such a
thin* as usiug an infirmity as a graft:
