me similar one last April?"
"I am above such cold-hearted

tone that marked his real feelings.
"The person who could do such a
thing must have something bad
about his character, and I want to

"Good morning, DOCTOR" said
Mr.. Top.
The two gentlemen bowed stihy,

She took him home with her, and a
short time after arriving there he
died, leaving her the whole of his

"He was my uncle" said Top.
"Then by not attending to your
letter you are the looser of at least
one-half his property"
Top went home sadder man than
he was when he left it. He knew
that it would be in vain to appeal to
his sisters generosity, for she was q
widow, and when poor, with five
children dependent upon her, he had
treated her with unkindness and
neglect, and there was little likei-
hood of her sharing her good for

fool; and so great was his disappoint-
ment and chagrin that never after.

ALBANY, N. Y, May /.
The Wooden Investigating Committee
met this morning at 10 O'Clock and ex-
amiued ex-senator A. L. Parker; he stated
that he voted for the charter because he
understood that it was better than any
law that time, and because it would keep
several Republicans in office, and also by
voting for it, better election law would
be secured. He knew of no money being
used to influence any Senator. Mr.. Par
ker's testimony was much the same as
that given by the other witnesses. He
presented some documents to the com-
mittee which were petitions from some
associations of New York, and private
persons in favor of the Tweed charter
Senator Wooden and his counsel were
present at the examination but asked no
question OF the witnesses. Adjor- ned
until 8 o'clock.
