THE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEES
Alter Wells had taken the witness
stand Hurlbut rose and offered his pro-
test mentioned last night to the jurisdic-
ton of the committee and that was laid
over for consideration in executive ses-
sion.
Wells then gave the committee TO I'M
derstand that he wouldn't answer any
questions bearing upon the secret action
OF the board. lie asked the chairman if
he. the witness, WAS to answer all the
questions put by parties not Interested
in the election.
Upon reply the witness stated that
hedenied the power OF the committee to
go into that matter.
WELLS EXANTvITION
Was continued, he declining 10 give the
committee any information outside of the
documents which he said the committee
might have copies of, if they would fur
niih the clerks TO make them, under the
immediate supervision and direction OF
his secretary. When asked whether his
board had acted exclusively on record
evidence or not, the stereotyped reply
was returned, "The papers are there,
they speak for themselves and lac
adied, "iou are travelling over the
same ground, and Iprotest you are vast
Ing your time, tor / will positively not
answer any questions relating to the
manner IN winch performed my Official
duties" Again, in replyto a question,
he declared that the board had counted
no votes except those returned 10 them,
and denied indirectly that the board had
raised the Hayes electoral vote in one
parish from 100 TO 40.
COACHING.
Iiurlbut then undertook the coaching
OF Wells on the question OF the organiza-
ton OF the board, but made ridiculous
mess Of it and showed his utter ignorance
Of the subject. t.t .
Upon being pushed upon the matter
or the election Of Democrat 10 the
board, Wells said that his minutes might
show the boards action on that point.
and then acknowledged that he had
stated in the board that the Democrats
mad no right to representation on the
board, having forfeited that right, but
did not say how that the objection TO

ONE FRAUD FOUND,

BOY oNE thAb FUND.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Dec. 13.-The con-
gressional committee to-day discovered
whit is alleged to be an Interpolation of
u names In the poll-list OF a precinct in
Leon county. THIS Interpolation, the
Democrats charge, was made to cover 72
fraudulant tickets of minute size that
were found in the box. The Democrats
charge that these tickets were hidden in
the folds OF regular tickets, and thus
smnggled in the box. The Interpolation
was charged on the ground that citizens
OF the precinct fail to identify any of the
u names that appear consecutively on
two pages by themselves, and from the
fact that the poll-listat this precinct Was
not numbered as at all the other pre-.
cincts. The Republicans claim they can
explain these facts satisfactorily to-mor-
row.

Care of the Nails.

When came down, to my astonish-
ment, there stood the individual who
was to shape my irregular nails-a tall,
dark skinned, with flowing jet locks,
beard and imperial. To say I was aur-
prised is too weak an assertion; I was
struck dumb with establishment. My
teacher had just gone through with her
usual pairing, and babe me be seated.
The operation began. First sharp.
French-shaped instrument cut the nails,
sloped them on the sides with point in
the center, then tiny pair of pincers
was used to pull off all the pieces of dry
skin around the nails, commonly called
by us "hang nails;" then steel file
was used to raise the skin and push it
back SO as to show the half moon" on
the nail. which is considered part of
its beauty; then a liquid was poured
over it to battle it; then dried, and red
pomade, spread thin, rubbed off with
fine yellow powder, which caused them
to shine. 1T took about half an hour,
and cost the magnificent sum of francs,
or so cents. There are women in Paris
who follow this singular vocation and
obtain as high as 10 francs visit; 9TH
ers who have contracts by the month.
They generally receive from $12 to $50
per month. Exchange.

PauperiSm i'm England.

The annual New Years Day return re-
lating to pauperism in England and
Wales shows that on the LIST of January,
1875, the number of paupers was 752, :
887, which is less by Sd, 935, or 10 per
cent. than the number on the first day of
last year. This shows the paupers to be
! in 80, Or 3.3 per cent of the popula-
tion according to the census of 1871, but,
as the population has increased, the ra-
ito in 1876 is reduced and is nearer 3 per
cent. The decrease is general through
out England. In the metropolis it is
ia per cent; the Northwestern Dlvl-
sion, 10.6 per cent; Yorkshire is an ex.
ception, and shows scarcely any I'M
provement at all. Rather more than
one-tifth of the paupers are in the work

door relief. The number of adult able
bodied paupers receiving reliet-name-

4 New Febrifuge.

According to the French journal,
Constitutional, a new febrifuge has been
discovered, which will prove an excel
lent substitute for quinine, being, the
leaves of the laurel The discovery is
the result of experiments of M. G.. Do
ray, an apothecary of Saint Lo, which
were at once conclusive as to the cura
tive effects of the new remedy, three
grammes of powdered laurel leaves hav-
ing cured many obstinate cases of fever.
It was found effective in one instance of
African fever of long standing, in which
sulphate of quinine had been tried in
vain. The method of preparation is
simple. The green leaves are dried by
gentle heat in close vessel and pull
verified, being given in doses Of one
gramme in water. This discovery will
prove a boon to the poor, as quinlne is
so expensive drug as to be frequently
beyond their reach, while the laurel is
common in France, snd the new prepa
ration will be attainable at a cheaper
rate. 1t is also stated that laurel has

The use of powerful explosives has
been taken advantage of in this country
far more than in the old countries.
There is one way in which it is used,
however, in Scotland, which we have
not learned yet. That is in clearing
land of stumps and powders. Large
tracts of land near Edinburgh have been
successfully and completely cleared by
this means.

A Man 1875 Years Old Who Never Voted.

He is now in his 125th year, and he
has never voted. Etienno Gauldinot
was born in 1852, in a Canadian hamlet

renoi rivers, below Quebec, The great
battle between the French and English
was fought near his fathers cabin, and
although he was only years old, he re-

and Montcalm after he was wounded. In
1772 he married q lass, and made a
clearing on the west side of Lake Cham
plain. The commandment Of Fort Ticon
deroga employed him as scout. In
ITS, having come from q scouting
expedition down the lake, he was cap
tured by Ethan Allen. He sent his
mother, wife and children to Canada,
where they remained Until the close of
the Revolutionary War. In 1893 he
trapped for furs in the vicinity of Mag
ara river, and served three years during
the war of 1912, being wounded twice in
the battle of Lundy's Lane, and being
complimented by Gen. Scott for his
bravery. He does not appear to have
taken hand in the patriot war, the
Mexican campaign, the civil war, or any
of the Fenlan raids. He is now living

Be Social.

Men who isolate themselves from
society, and have no near and dear
family ties, are the most uncomfortable
of human beings. Byron says "happi-
ness was born of twins,'' but the phrase,
though pretty and poetic, does not go
far enough. We are gregarious, and not
intended to march through life either
single or double file. The man who cares
for nobody, and for whom nobody cares,
has nothing to live for that will pay for
the keeping of soul and body together.

I he Law of Salvage.

The owners of the steamship Colon
are considering the interesting conun-
drum: Which is worse, wrecking steam
er at sea, ana recovering the insurance on
the boat and cargo, Or being wrecked IN
a court of law, where there is no insur-
ance? The Colon, on her voyage out
from New York to Panama, broke part
of her machinery, whereupon she began
to drift helplessly in q direction which
would shortly take her out of the track
of vessels, and into q desolate part of
the ocean. In this condition she was
sighted by the steamship H5nq, and,
hoisting signal of distress, the Hcna
took her inatow, and towed her into port.
For this service, which occupied six
days, the owners of the Colon rendered
the Htna SIS, coo. This sum was refused
and $150,000 demanded, and, payment
being refused. the owners Of the Colon
were sued for salvage. The Colon be-
ing worth $500, 900, and her cargo being
valued at 100000, the law of salvage
would give the Htna $3.50, 900 for saving
her. And besides being sued fer sal
wage, the United States Government,
having It's attention attracted by the
case, has sued the Colon for $4,000
tariff tax on the engine which broke
down and caused her misfortune, be-
cause that engine was manufactured III
Scotland, and not in the United States,
and imported without paying the proper
duties. Meanwhile the ship has been
bonded, and placed in the dry dock for
repairs, while her cargo has been bond
ed and forwarded by another vessel.
Moral: Good American engines, which
don't break down, are the cheapest in
the end.

THE WORLDS MERCHANT SHIP
PING.

The Aggregate Shipping of the British
Empire-The Second Place Occupied by
the United States.
From the returns on the progress Of
British shipping, recently issued by the
Board of Trade, we learn that the ship
ping of the British Empire aggregates
7.744, 257 tons, of which 6,087, 701 tons
belong to the United Kingdom. Thus
the United Kingdom owns nearly FIVE
sixths of the shipping of the British En-
pire. Other maritime countries, that is
the United States and all the nations of
Europe, except Russia, Spain, and
Portugal. possess an aggregate tonnage
of no more than II ,225,211 tons. The
shipping of the British Empire IN mere
capacity, therefore, without reference to
the quality, age, or character OF the YES
sells, is equal to two thirds of the ship
ping of ali other maritime countries.
Next to ourselves the United States
have the greatest merchant navy. Iaken
altogether, it has a tonnage or 4, Tlz,2l1
tons. But of this total no more than
1868, 1927 tors are engaged IN the Tor,
eign trade. The remaining 3,2oO, UOO
tons are employed in the lake, river,
and coasting trade. Into this latter
trade no foreign vessel, and even no for
eign- built vessel, is admitted and the
immense seaboard and vast lakes and
rivers. being thus retained for the ex-
elusive employment of United States
shipping, of course, support very
large feet. But the marine engaged in
the foreign trade-which, being open to
competition, is alone comparable with
our OWNS, it will be seen, smaller
than the merchant navies of our col
onies and dependencies and it shows
no tendency to increase. Next to the
United States, Norway possesses the
greatest tonnage, 1915, 223; Germany
possesses the next largest, 1,058, 263 !;
and France almost equals Germany,
1,037, 1913. Thus France, with her vast
seaboard, occupies only the fifth rank
among maritime countries, ii we reckon
10y tonnage only. We need hardly say,
however, that it is the steam feet which
at present determines the maritime rank
of a country. In steamers we are still
more superior to the rest OF the world
than we are made to appear by the fore
going statistics. The steam tonnage OF
the British Empire is 2,072, 804 tons !;
that of the United Kingdom alone, l.
$40, 1877 while all other countries own
no more than l, 1888, 345 tons. Thus the
United Kingdom alone has greater
steam navy than all other maritime
countries together. AS before, the
United States stands Mex to Great
Britain, with 976, 978 steam tons in the
coasting trade, and 191, 989 in the for
eign trade; a total of 1853, 967. France
now, however, takes the third place,
with 1914, $40 tons, Or little more than
the American tonnage in the foreign
trade. Very close upon France comes
Germany, with 189, 1898 tons, while Nor
way, which takes precedence of both
Germany and France in aggregate ton
naga, is left far behind in the race here.
