Ij*w Allows Fay by ltuy ally In Lieu of Halary and DUpenaerH May Bottle Tbolr Ileor. Atbornoy General Gunter In a lengthy opinion Wednesday answered three questions propounded by the State board of dispensary dircotors with regard to beer dispensaries, but It Is nob thought that the board itself will make an announcement until Thursday. The question whether the law allows pay by royalty In lieu of salary Is wiswered In the atllrmatlve as Is the luestlon as to whether beer dlspeniers may bottle their own beer. The definition of "premises" Is engthy and somewhat complicated, Dut In brief It may be said that the >pinton defines "premises" to be whatever the county board designates is "premises;" in other words the )plnlou Is all that the most fastidious jeer dispenser could desire. Says the opinion: "In regard to rOur third request for a definition of <he word premises, It occurs In sec ,lon 561 above quoted, is fraught vlth dlftljulty, for It Involves to a ;reat extent a question of fact, differ tiK In each particular case. From uch an examination as I have been ible to make of this subject In the egal authorities, I am unable to lay lown a precise definition for In such sases where the matter has been dlsiussed so much depends on theteohni al statutes and circumstances the easonlug is of hut little aid here. "From a perusal of the dlspcu ar> aw It Ih manifest, however, In deier ninlrg the limits of the 'premises,' ecourse must be had to the action of he county board of control, In select ng a place for a dispenser to operate. "Section 566 directs: 'The county inard of control shall designate or irovlde a suitable place in which to ell the liquors,' and section 664, .uthorlzlng the county board to ap?olnt a dispenser: Says 'every appoint nent so made shall specify the buildng, giving the street and number or Doatlon In which Intoxicating liquors nay be sold by virtue of tho same ' Vhen the county board has deslgnatd or provided 'a suitable place' In vbich to sell liquors that 'suitable dace' becomes 'premises' on which Iquor can not he opened uor malt iquors drunk. "Were a provision of the nature dl eeted to Individuals, premises under uch circumstances would be limited o some place over which such lndl 'Jdual had tho legal right to exercise .utborlty or control. This rule ap >iles to the governmental agency havng the selection and control of the ilace where liquors are sold and of nurse, can not apply to places over vhloh the county board lias no au horliy. There Is no law authorizing he county board or any other otlloor 0 provide a drinking place; If such be ittempted It Is without warrant of aw. "It follows that 'premises' is such 1 place as is provided by the county loard for the sale of liquors and over vhlch the State agencies have con>rol. This trust Is devolved upon hat body to be peiformed accirdingy to the expressed meaning and purloso of the law." VEILED MURDERESS DEAD. Jon fined Oror Fifty Years. Hho Claiiucd KojhI lilood. A d'spatch from Newborn, N. Y., ays Mrs. Henrietta Roolnson, known ;s "the veiled murderess," died at ,he Matteawan state hospital Wedlesday. She was oonvicted of the nurder of Timothy Lanagsn and Jatherine Lubee in Troy in 1853. During the trial she wore a heavy tell. Judge Harris, before whom she vas tried, &>-ked her to remove the tell, but she reiused, saying that she vould rather have any verdict pronounced thau to remove it. Her lounsel, Martin I. Townsen, stated to ,he court that he could not prevail on ler to remove It. l<\n*lly she drew ,he veil for an instant and, smiling to ;he jury, replaced It. She was sen .enced to he hanged on June 10, 1853 Her sentence was afterward commuted. She was sent to the Auburn itate huepltal for the insme in 1873 ind later transferred to Matteawan Mrs. Itoblnson was 89 years old. When, a few days ago, It was certain ihe must die, the physicians at the hospital endeavored to have her reveal her Identity, which she had hid ien since her c- mmltment. She re fused, saying that she had kt pt the secret for 50 years and might as well let It die with her. Only once In her long contim ment did she ever rev. al anything about herself, and then she told a physician that she came from the English royal family. Then, as If she had forgotten herself, she re fused to say anything further. She ha* employed her time In recent years In making lace, which she wore. Some time ago she made a set of false teeth out of buttons and wore them a large share of the time. Winthrop Gonimenoemcnt.

Robinson, Goes Forth With a Winchester and a Pistol and Starts Another Graveyard in Sandiego, Cal. At Sandlego, Cal., on Monday, William 1'. Robinson, a house servant, ran amuck killing four persons, wounding two others and then killing himself. Toe dead: William Stewart. Mrs. Kmma Stewart. II. W. Chase. Harry 1) iddridge. W P. Robinson. The wounded: Mrs. W. H. Doddridge. W. H. Doddridge was injured by falling out of a window. At first Robinson was said to be crazed by liquor, but later it was said that he had threatened Doddridi/e for an alleged attempt to have Robinson shangnalcd when he was a sailor. It Is said also that he had expressed a didlke for the Stewarts About 8 o'clock Monday morning Robinson left tils house at the corner of Fourth and A str ets and g >ing to the apartments In the same building occupied bv Mrs. Hmma Stewart, the landlady, and her sou, William, rapped for admission. Mrs. Stewart, upon opening the door, was shot through the head by Robinson, who had leveled a rifle Robinson then entered the dining ruom where Stewart, who had been seated at breakfast, was just rising from the t?bte. Robinson attacked him Immediately, ulunglng a long knife into Stewart's 1)0 y close to the heart and again Into the abdomen. At the second stab Stewart sank to the floor with blood p mrlng from his body In a stream. Robinson then returned to his room. Reloading Ids rifle and leaving his knife, he slipped a revolver Into his pocket. He then descended to the flrst floor, one portion of which is used as a carpenter shop by II. W. Chase. Chase probably saw Robinson enter, but paid no attention to him, for Robinson approached close to him and, suddenly throwing up his rifle, tired, the bullet entering Chase's breast close to the heart. Chase died Immediately. From the carpenter shop Robinson proo eded on his bloyolc down Fourth street for several blocks through the business section of the town with the rifle still In his hand. He went directly to the house of W. II Dod d ridge, internal revenue oolleotor, on j the northeast corner of Second and II j streets.' He left his wheel at the , curb and ran up the steps to the front ( door, carrying his revolver In one hand ( and his rille in the other. In re , sponse to his ring Harry Doddridge, j son of W. H. Doddridge, who Is an j engineer at the Sandiego brewery, , opened the door. j Robinson '"red his revolver and , young Doddridge sank to the lloor j with a bullet just above the heart. , Death followed before medical assla , tance could be summoned. Mrs. | Doddridge, the young man's mother, hearing the shot and perhaps wit nessing the tragedy, ran screaming from the house Robinson, hearing , the. screams, started through the , house after the woman. As she was ( crossing the yard the cruzed man , caught sight of her and tired, the bullet striking her in the back. She fell headlong upon her face in the yard , VV. II Doddridge, who was In bed on the second floor when the commo- , lion began, Jumped or fell out of the window, breaking the bones of his ( right hand and probably sustaining internal Injuries. Robinson searched the house for more people. When he came to the room Just vacat-d by Doddridge he ollmbed upon the bed and placing his revolver t? his temple tired a bullet which tore off tne 10 of his head. There is no known rea son for thinking there had been 111 feeling between Robinson and any of his victims. Collector Doddridge says he n"V? r even saw or heard of Robin son before. Doctor Dies of Kmal pox. The N wberry Observer savs Dr. M. (*} Iloidnx, the most prominent physician of Lexington, died on Saturday night with smallpox. Ho must have been a man of rare ability, judging from the tribute of the local paper, though a man of "peculiar characteristics" and of "strong prejudices." We Infer from a remark made by the town board of health, In the same paper, that the doctor had not been vaccinated?this probably being one evidence of his "strong pre Judoies." The doctor's wife anil children also had the disease, but he was the only member of the family who died. "Mrs. Hendrlx now being able to be up and about ber household work, and other raerabersof the family being successfully vaccinated." We refer to this case to emphasize two points: 1. That the smallpox now prevailing In the state Is of a virulent and dangerous type; 2. That vaccina tlon Is the only sure protection against this most loathsome and dangerous disease. To Save Son's I.llo. Carl M. Spencer, a former trusted employe of the Des Moines National bank, has been indicted on a charge of embezzlement and alleged fraudulent entries. The amount of his shortage does not exceed 16,000. There Is a p&thetlo story In connection with Spencer's confession, whloh he made prior to the Indictment. For many years annually he had been taking an Invalid son east for medical treatment. He had been unable to meet the expenses and to save the boy's life he took money from hlse mployers. WAY. S. C., THUB FOR HOLDING COTTON The Flan for Sonthern Farmers to Fix Its Price. Letter From President Harvle Jordan At to the Plan for a Chain of Cotton WarehouMoa. Ouo of the most Important movements ever Inaugurated In the South Is now rapidly taking form, and onoe It is completed, the Southern farmer and cotton grower will bo able, for the tirst time in history, to set his 0?n price upon his own commodities, exclusive of the outside Influences of the Wall street "bull" and "bear." This is the vast bonded warehouse system, supported by the Southern Cotton association. By this it is hoped to erect a fireproof warehouse In every community in which 2,1)00 bales of cotton arc market* d. In thh way the farmer may store ids cotun and borrow clnapm?>ney on the re ceipts, holding tiie staple until the price is high enough to warrant him selliDg. President llarvie Jordan, In a letter given out Thursday, outlines the plan of the movement as follows: The time has come in the South when our business men and farmer must align themselv s together for mutual protection and sift-guarding toe great staple crop of this section of the union. The cotton growers pro duce the orop and prepare it for mar ket and the sagacity and financial :upport of our business men, bankers and merchants are needed to aid in so selling the crop as to make the staph bring its full legitimate value. One of the essential featuies In the Future handling of the cotton crop by the producers is to provide adequate warehouse facilities in which to store cotton and use it as a collateral to borrow cheap money until the owner Is prepared or ready to sell it These warehouses should be constructed in jvery community where 2,000 oalesor more of cotton is marketed and should bo built, operated and controlled by the farmers and business men In the local communities. A great many of these warehouses will be built this year and the Southern Cotton association will be glad to furnish the latest vnd most improved plans and specifications Issued by the fire insurance jompanies. Each warehouse should be so constructed as to reduce the jost of insurance and storage to a minimum. In counection with the warehouse proposition the Southern Jotton association is also deeply interested in the development of the Cot nn Plan^ral n i? ? ?t_?j jv... I Iia.iuv.iri UUUJ1U1591UI1 tVIHl I1U1U" ng company, which was organized luring the late New Orleans cotton jouvention. This holding company, f properly Indorsed and subscribed to uy the farmers and business men of [.he South, can soon develop into a power of strength to protect the grow jrs against any of the schemes and levices so often resorted to by certain jlasses for the purpose of depressing t,he price of the staple. The stock of this company has been tlxed at the par value of one dollar per share, so is to place It within the reach of jvery farmer in the South. The charter provides that no stockholder will sver be liable for an amount greater than his subscription. Every banker in the South has this stock in hand for iale, besides a large number of county \nd stats agents. It is hoped that the stock to this company will be rapidly subscribed to so that the peo pie wtio grow the cotton may be able bo build up a bulwark of safety be bw> en themselves and the eloment which has so long been engaged In depressing the cotton market. The association will be glad to furnish detailed Information with refermice to these two Important adjunots of the association's work to all par Lies interested. The farmers have already whipped the tight as to reduc lion of cotton aoreage and use of guano under ootton for 1905. Now let the people get o!o>>er together and continue the tight for their emancipation from the dominating influences of the speculators. Haryib Jordan, President Southern Cotton Association. * tiryan in iho I'ulplc. W. J. Bry?n filled toe pulpit of a Methodist ohurch at Lincoln, N- h , recently.

Fine Hhlpi that Have Hailed Away and Disappeared Forever from the Bight of Men. London Tit Bits says there are few thlugs which are so full of mystery, or which makes such a powerful appeal to the Imagination, as the stories of ships that sail gallantly out to sea and of which nothing Is ever heard or seen after the m %st.s have dipped be low the horizon. At prrs nt the papers arc full of the rcoords of these marine tragedies. Today, It Is the 'Jlaverdale, which left Ilong Kong on November 23, for Vladivostok, and of which no trace has been found for over two months; yesterday it was the Ltoyallst, which oleared a few days later from Singapore to Ilong Kong, and has never reached her Gemination; the day before It was the Idum, from Noway, which has vanished from human view; and so on, through the long list of ships that have sailed and disappeared. Wnat aro the secrets of these nays terlous vaulshlngs of stately ships with their orews and cargoes? In nineteen oases of twenty the seorets lie with the ships many fathoms deep, and will perhaps naver leap to light. To this day no one knows what be came of the City of Glasgow, which tet her sails so gallantly In the Mersey half a century and more ago, hound for Philadelphia, nor was she seen again after the hills of Wales were 1 ?st to view. The Burvio Castle left London some years ago od a long voyage to Austra ha. She should have made a final all at Plymouth, but she never came within sight of the Hoe, nor has hu man e>? ever seen her from the day ihe dropDed down the Channel It was on May 10, 1854, that Lady Nu?^nt spread her sails at Madras with 1 107 of the 25th Madras Light Infantry and other passengers on board, tier destination was ft&ngoon, but lalf a century has gone, and neither 1 Itangoon nor any other port has lighted her. Nearly two years later the Collins ' [jiner, the Pacific, dropped down the Mersey with 180 souls on board. She ' was accounted one of the Btoutest and iwlftest vessels of her time?and so, 10 doubt slio was. Hut she went the way the City of Glasgow had gone a jouple of years earlier, and for forty- ' line years has been lying at the bot- 1 .om of the sea?but where, none may ' enow till all secrets are revealed. The 1 trading vessel Atlanta started, a quarier of a century ago, for a short orulse ( n Hermudan waters, and from that 1 lay to this no one knows what be 1 same of her and the 250 souls she car- I led. On January 28, 1870, the City of lioston sailed from Halifax for Kngand, with 191 souls on board. Sne .v<is an lnman Liner, a line ship, iplendldly equipped and handled; but ihe, too, was destined to vanish from die face of the waters. 1 The victim of another still.remembered ocean mystery was the Presi- i lent, a line vessel which was expeoted it Liverpool in March, 1841. March passed and Liverpool saw nothing of icr. Tiie long delay in her arrival lauscd great anxiety, and the wildest umorn began to be circulated. On \prll 13 news came that her engine- ' md rudder had been disabled In heavy weather and that she had put Into Maderla for repairs, and there naturally followed a reaction from gloomy 1 forebodings to t.r?nur?<m-t.o nt 'ph*. -3- r?.??v. JW/. yps-el was expected at Liverpool on a sertaln day, and her arrival was iwalied by hundreds of people who oad friends aboard; but sue never jamo, and It, was f<<U'id that the story >f her arrival at Maderla was a heart less hoax. All the time the Ill-fated vessel was at the hot torn of the sea. On November 30, 1888, a largo vessel was seen from the beach at Deal, -ailing toward the Goodwin Sands. She was a fair ploture to look on, as -he moved over the waters with her stately spread of satis, But as the t*yes of the watchers followed her she was seen to pause, and within a few seconds she vanished utterly from their view. What caused this tragi cally sudden disappearance of a stately hlilpV Ta&t Is another of theoount less storets which the ooean has In Its ] alous keeping.

All of us can doubtless point to some particular case of grafting.
