The many rainy days of this Btimmor
are In marked eontnutt to the lonjf dry

William C. Moreland, ex-City Attor
noy of Pittshurjr, convicted of having
embezzled city funds to tho amount of
$20,652.74, was sentenced last Wednes
day to pay a fine equal to the amount of
his defalcation and to undergo impris
onment in the Western Penitentiary
for the term of three years. Eloquence
and personal sympathy were unavailing
in getting a lighter sentence for the
malefactor, much to the credit of tho
administration of justice in the "Smoky
City."

The yield yearly varies from 11.7.'0.000

ask the next Legislature to phss an Im

or more for the extermination of all dis

of the department are working on the
matter now, seourlng statistics from

It is not an unfrequent thing to hear
persons speak soornfully ot girls who
have to work for a living. Thia is not
right. No sensible man is dazzled by
the glitter of a jeweled hand, a gold

perhaps. All these have not so much
fasoinatlon as a pleasant disposition, a
happy, intelligent face, a well cooked
meal and a glistening, welMroned shirt

It is all right to know bow to appear as
