They are beginning to talk al away with them. Keepers of certain popular “high-toned” drinking resorts are complaining of a law that prevents music after 1 a.m. French restaurant proprietors are replacing tar nished fittings with new gilt starts its nightly debauch a little earlier. “The town is waking up,” remark the inhabitants of “the line.” “It’s going to be a good town.” So much for the other class. Se" se When Francis J. Heney heard the people's verdict of “Stop the graft prosecutions,” he simply remarked: “Poor San Francisco!” City Hall Site Mayor Miller's suggestion that the people of Seattle be given an opportunity to choose from two or three sites for a new city hall is an excellent one. There is a vast amount of opposition to the site proposed on Yesler way, part of which was occupied by the old city hall, and there will be considerably more opposition to the proposal to purchase the lot lying east of this site, and which, fn the opinion of people who should know, is very likely to be found useless for building purposes because of the railroad tunnel directly ‘underneath. As a matter of fact, the sugges- tion that the city acquire this lot appears much in the light of an absurdity The Star believes Seattle's new city hall should be north of Madison, and in no event further east than Fourth av. Im a very few years Union st. and Fourth ay. is just about going to be the center of Seattle’s business activity, not only dn a commercial sense, but also in regard to aifice buildings If a new city hall is built at Third and Yesler, in ten years from now we will be crying for a new building further north. rm inter er ‘even better times.” They are but still ut doing o.¢ 8 Education at the rate of $500 a Nobody has ever accused Secre Jesson is certain, sooner or later, tary Ballinger of a crime; he to demonstrate to the freezum merely has an unfortunate habit of butchers the expensive error of stirring the suspicions of nervous Gulr ware. citizens, There are still several members| perhaps the County hospital will of the Rainier club who have not make plain to the grand jury the been mentioned to succeed Senator |improvements made since Piles, including the senator him-' g,, expose began—and self. not Pretty stenographers and joy! rides in excess are enough to dis- turb the entente cordiale of any home.

Brewster—! mean that, instead of bringing out of thie man his own true thoughts of innocence, you have forced into his consciousness your own falee thoughts of his guilt. Brewster submits his views of the case, points out to Clinton the means he has taken of poisoning the public mind against young Jef- fries through the publicity the af- fair has been given in the press, and shows how Annie has been paced under the ban of suspicion. “Well,” observes the captain, “it’s up to you to prove I'm wrong.” This the lawyer proceeds to do. the table, and going through the case, cites where false confessions have been obtaned from parties under arrest who have been sub mitted to the third degree. As this evidence is produced Clinton eringes a little, and admits that mistakes will sometimes and when Brewster asks him if he showed young Jeffries a pistol while trying to gain his confession, he esitates a moment Captain Clinton—Yes, I think I did. Didn't I, Maloney? Beewster—Your word is suf. captain. Did you hold tt up? Captain Clinton—Yes, I think I did.
