JUDGE WILLIAM MORROW, BORN AT L OBSERVES 73 BIRTHDAY AT

. William V: Morrow of the United States Circuit , Court of Appeals celebrated his seventy-third birthday recently at San Francisco, his home. After public service covering almost the entire length of his adult life, the venerable jurist is as well kept physically and as mentally alert as the average man of 40 years. To few has fallen the long, honorable and distinguished career it has been the good fortune of this notetl man of law to experience. Born near Milton, Indiana, July 15, 1843, Judge Morrow, with his parents, William and Margaret (Hood) Morrow removed to California in 1859, and for the ensuing two years was a public school teacher. In 1862, when still under his majority, Judge Morrow went to Idaho, where he amassed a small fortune at mining, and, incidently had several hair-raising experiences with Indians. He then returned East with the intention of joining the army, but was persuaded to become the confidential secretary to Secretary Salmon P. Chase. In the performance of his duty he carried money to the front for the purpose of paying off the troops. At one time he carried $10,000,000 from Boston to New York. In 1865 he was sent to California via Tehuantepec with $5,000,000 in eight iron chests, which in turn were packed in wooden boxes. No one knew their contents save Judge Morrow, who sailed from New York on a merchantman. He has in his possession today the instructions signed by Secretary Chase ordering him to throw the chests ' overboard if the ship was attacked by a Confederate vessel. The boat which carried him arrived safely at Greytown, and he carried his treasure, partly by water and partly by ox team, to San Joaquin del Sur, where he loaded it on a vessel bound for San Francisco. Meanwhile he had been studying law, and, returning to California, he was in 1S69 admitted to the bar. The following year -he was appointed Assistant United States Attorney, which position he held until 1874. TWO BOYS CONFESS TO STARTING BLAZE ELWOOD, Ind., Aug. 8.

Tony Kuskhabbage and Harry Haskett, the boys, said they started a fire at the storage company yesterday morning, threw a handful of cartridges into the flames and then ran as the bullets began flying. The only explanation the police have been able to get is that the boys were obsessed with a desire to see a big fire. JOHN SAYLOR RELEASED. John Saylor, 122 North Fourteenth street, who surrendered himself to the Indianapolis police after having accidentally struck a woman with hij automobile in that city Saturday, has returned to Richmond. The trial of the charge of assault and battery for violating the motor speed limit has been postponed indefinitely. FAMILY HOLDS OUTING.

KIMONAS NOT BATHING SUITS EVANSTON, 111., Aug. 8 Kimonas are not bathing suits. The Evanston police have so ruled and there is no appeal. One reason is they cause violations of the rules against large gatherings. Several Chicago girls essayed bathing in kimonos yesterday and the police, after fighting back the crowds that gathered, shooed, the girls out of the water and told them to go home. They did. GOVERNMENT SUES ' FOR FUNDS ADVANCED WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo today, made arrangements to bring suit against Americans who were stranded in Eur--ope at the beginning of the war, to recover money furnished them by this government to -pay their passage home. There are several hundred persons who never repaid the money advanced them.

During his active practice he was attorney for the California State Board of Harbor Commissioners; in 1880 he was appointed special counsel for the United States before the French and American Claims Commission. Before the French and American Claims Commission he was called upon to handle questions growing out of seizure of vessels by the French government during the War of the Revolution.

Summer-Spoiled Skin Removed by Absorption As undue summer" exposure usually leaves an undesirable surface of tan, redness or roughness, often freckles, too, the sensible thing to do is to remove such surface. There's nothing better for this than ordinary mercolized wax, which actually absorbs an unwholesome complexion. The thin layer of surface skin is itself absorbed gently, gradually, so there's no inconvenience, no detention indoors. Spread the wax lightly over the entire face at bedtime and take it off in the morning with warm water. If you will get one ounce of mercolized wax at the drugstore, use it for a week or so, you may expect marked improvement daily. . When the underlying skin is wholly in view your complexion will be a marvel of spotless purity and beautiful whiteness. Don't let those summer wrinkles worry you; worry breeds more wrinkles. Banish them by bathing the face in a solution of powdered saxo, lite, 1 oz., dissolved in pint witch hazel. Used daily for a while, this will be found wonderfully effective. Adv.
