GROSS EX CANNED,

To Judge Cullom-That poll is always Re-
publican. The poll, when moved. was not as
central as at Coles, not as convenient. Don't
know of anybody deprived of voting by the
removal Think one of the commissioners was
a Democrat.
To Senator Grover-Thero were three can
didates for the Senate In that district Mcssrs
Wharton, Wakefield and Wales,
10 the chairman It was believed that Mr..
Allan tried to get the poll moved. so he could
have better control of the voters.
To Judge Culom, counsel for contested
Don't know that Senator Attain had any In
tluence over the commissioners. Did not bear
him charged with any undue influence
To the ohairman-lt was supposed he used
his influence to get the poll removed
To Judge Fenner. counsel for contestant-It
was the impression there that he had the poll
moved for the purpose OF influencing votes.
To Senator Garland About the usual vote
was polled.
To Mr.. Dumont- Frank Deslonde was the
supervisor of registration of the parish. He
appointed the commissioners.
l.. i. Baugnon called.
To Judge Fenner-Was supervisor Of Iber-
vile in 1876. Am acquainted with the conduct
Republicans there between Wharton and
Wakefield. Heard there had been changes
made in the votes after they were cast. Did
not hear IL from an official source. Heard IL
from one of the commissioners.

Richard Done was the commissioner who
informed me.
Counsel for contestes insisted that it was
german.
& The room was cleared for consultation,
when the chairman stated that the committee
had overruled the objection and would receive
the testimony, reserving the Usual rights as to
It's merits.
The witness---At that election supported
Mr.. Wakefield. Don't know whom Mr.. Done

In the German army alone the forma-
ton of men in line of three ranks is
still retained After the disastrous
campaign of 1906 line of two ranks
was introduced for use in the field un-
der certain circumstances, but the three
rank formation was still to be employed
for parade, drill and Institutional pur-
poses. OF late, however, and especially
since the conclusion of the war of 1901,
in which it became very apparent that
the only conditions under which it
might still be advantageous to employ
a three-rank line are not at all likely to
occur again in the field of battle, the wis
dom of still retaining the drill book has
been much questioned, although there
is also strong party who are in favor
of altogether discarding, not the three
deep, but the two-deep line.

A Liverpool youth married, and,
leaving his wife, went to Bombay. In a
year he heard that his wife was dead,
and, after a decent interval, married an
other. Later on he returned to his ma
tive land, and, greatly to his surprise,
was joyously greeted by his first wife.
An amicable arrangement was made,
and he returned to his first love, the
other agreeing to 60 back to her friends
in India. Next the wife did die, and no
mistake about it. Then the young man
looked about for the other, and found
that she had not gone back to India, but
was living with another man as his wife.
Last scene of all in this strange, event
full history, the young man is before a
police court for neglecting his wife and
child and leaving them to come upon
the parish, the result of the desertion of
the other fellow. 1t is to be hoped the
court will be able to untangle the rights
of the case.

How SEVERELY France suffered last
year from the political agitation and stag
nation of trade appears from the reports
of the Mont de Pete of Paris, which in
1877 made loans of $7,036,076 on 1885,
500 objects. The average loan was 81. ID,
as against 1898 in 1876 and $401 in
1875, and there was such a general pawn
ing of mattresses and heavy articles of
furniture that great warehouses had to
be rented wherein to store these bulky
pledges. There was an unusual increase
in the number of renewals and of arti-
cles abandoned. In 1877 there were
abandoned 172,451 articles, on which
$562,028 had been advanced: they
brought, when sold, $764,561.

Gen. Sherman Solacing Himself.

A letter from Manitou, Col, to the
Cincinnati Commercial, says: "Gen.
Sherman is at present at Manitou. He
came into the village incognito, with
beard a week old, gray, and stiff and
stubby, with wide, white trousers, blue
sack coat and squatty straw hat. His
companion, McCook, is scarcely more
military in appearance. Gen. Sherman
walks along the dusty streets, chucks
the babies under the chin, jokes with
the nurses, kisses the young girls, fiat
ters the mothers, climbs rocks for ferns,
and hunts specimens with the most en-
thusiastic. There was hop the evening
of his arrival. AS soon az his aged ear
caught the tones, they say he forgot his
supper, sprung into the ballroom, dusty
from long travel, hungry and tired, and
tripped the light fantastic toe till the
gray of the morning"

GEN GRANT when in Moscow attend
ed dinner given by Prince Dolgorou-
ky, and tasted the famous sterlet of Rus
STA. 1t is rather expensive fish, one
large enough for ten persons costing
$18. The General afterward attended a
fete in park, where some acrobats per-
formed extraordinary feats. One of
them placed four bottles on a high table,
and on top these chair, which he bal
anced sideways while he stood on his
head on one corner of it. He kept re-
peating this, adding one chair at time,
until he got five on top of each other,
and still showed no signs of stopping !;
but Gen. Grant got up and walked
away, saying he would rather read the
death in the paper than to witness it.

Two RUSSIAN ladies, rival beauties,
soiourning at Petigorsh, fashionable
resort on the northern slope of the eau
casus, recently quarreled over dashing
cavalry officer. One sent formal chal-
lenge to the other to fight duel. This
was accepted, and the parties met. Be
fore the belligerents had taken position
the trembling of one lady's hand caused
the pistol to go off, the bullet passing
through the dress of the other. The
latter fell in a swoon, when the former
threw away her pistol and ran to help
her antagonist. The PROSTATE lady, re-
covering from her fright, seized her
rival by the hair, and the two fought it
out on the ground, boxing each others
ears, pulling hair, punching, scratching,
etc. The police put in an appearance
and carried the ASSISTANTS off the ground.

GENERAL and ex-Minister Schenck
has returned to Washington, d. c. With
his two daughters he travelled over the
entire State of Vermont, in company
with some friends, in their own convey
ances. They had four-horse carriage,
a two-horse carriage, two phaetons and
a baggage and supply wagon. The party
was twenty-five days on the road, and
went over almost every county in the
State, drawing n good deal of attention,
particularly from the small boys. Some
times the party were asked where they
were going to show!" and sometimes
they were called funeral procession,
and were asked to point out the corpse.

In the public gardens of Vienna a
bear underwent an operation for cata-
ract. He was blind in both eyes. A
strong leather collar was firmly buckled
around his neck, and the attached chain
passed round bar of the cage. Two
powerful men pulled him up, so that a
sponge containing chloroform might be
applied to his nose. The first evidence
of the action of the chloroform was a
diminution of his struggles; one paw
dropped and then the other. The door
of the den was opened, and his head
laid upon a plank outside The cata-
racts we're removed, and the bear was
drawn back into his cage. Next morn
ing he came out of his den staring
about him, caring nothing for the light
licking his paws, and evidently glory.
ing in the recovery of sight.
