Special Dispatch to the lRtGllIgCnccr,
WASHINGTON, March t7.-The "oniy'
Col. Cook, who has been for some tlme
under the Governments employ ut $loC
per day, using up the material gathered by
Gibson and Woodward in the basement O.
the Postotlec Department, ia the kaati,
but vain effort to convict some one, any
one Of the star route frauds, has resigned
He says TINT Col. George Bliss has "frozen
him out" Bliss came into The case as his
assistant while he had charge Of the cases,
and lowered the temperature in Gibson's
vicinity until the latter retired.
Mr.. Bliss has discharged aEr. Newcomb,
and hns monopolizCd so much OF the case
that the Colonel's honor and self respect
will not allow him to remain. When one
comes to consider the grand, gloomy and
peculiar failure which the Colonel has
been as attorney in the Star Route prose-
cutions, and the fact that aIl tho tangible
results in the cases have been attained
since the advent Of Alcssrs. Bliss and Brew
ster on them, the taxpayers Of the United
States can see him so with dry eyes and
unstrung heartstrings.
Associated Pres Dispatch. A. Cook, Of
the Star route prosecution, states that his
reason for resigning wns owing to the evi-
dent purpose to freeze him out, ashHA been
done in the case Of Gibson and lae original
detectives employed in the case. He
claims no encouragement from Arthur's
administration; that the last indictments
were not shown him, and cites as n re-
markable fact the purchase by George
Bliss some time ago OF the National R,pub.
ticdn for $4,000, which be paid Brady, and
ut the same time keeping on the paper all
the friends OF the Star route men. A
prominent attorney for the defense stated
to-day that he iholght Cook had made a
mistake in talking but admitted that he
Cook had not been treated right Cooks
resignation is now in the hands OF the
Attorney General.
Mr.. Cook further said that he was conf.
dent that conviction would have followed
in most OF the cases. But from the extra
ordinary proceedings since the advent Of
Bliss he did not think it ausured well for
the success OF the prosecution. The inter.
view exCites great comment, AMI Cooks
intention to say more exCites all the parties
interested in the case. He also says the
present administration does not manifest
the same earnestness in the prosecution of
these cases as that OF General Garfield,
with whom he had, he says, a long inter.
view three nights before the assassination.
Col. Bliss SAYS the fact that Gibson and
Cook were "irozen out" OF the Star
Route cases is not to be denied.
BY their neglect, to say the least, the
statute OF limitation was allowed to run
against the important eases, compelling re-
sort to proceedings by information BY Col
Bliss, which proceeding was thrown out
the court.

lS3Gcialtd Pres UNpdtch.--lt is stated at
the War department that the Case OF Ser
geant Mason having passed into the hands Of
the civil authorities, calls for no further ac-
ton on their part. The only relief to be
had now is through the President, Cen
ernl AyTes. commandant at the Washing
ton barracks, said to reporter to-day: The
departure OF Sergeant Mason for the Albany
penitentiary, Wednesday, had nothing
whatever to do with the threatened hGbeaS
corpus proceedings.
The order for the removal Of the prison.
er was expected on Tuesday and in an.
ticipation OF it MI arrangements were made
SO far as possible for his immediate re-
moyaI. The order came at 0 o'clock on
Wednesday morning, and arrangements
were at once made in every detail for his
departure.at 10 o'clock. 1t was deemed advis
able to have Mason arrive in Albany
during the day time. His guard was de-
tailed, ntions provided aud transportation
procured. "Ati OF this, saia Gen. Ayrcs,
Twas ordered and completed before Bige'
low came here and before | had any init
nation OF any intention to seek writ oi

nothing certainly would be done until the

Special Dispatch to The IntellIScnceE
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE President
is said to be opposed to pardonine Mason
on the ground that it would be bad taste,
and wholly ont Of place in him as COM
mander-in.chief Of the army and navy,
upon whom the army discipline has more
or less claims. Nevertheless petitions are
pouring in upon him in large numbers,
Nearly every member Of Congress has re-
Ceiyed at least one from his constituents,
with instructions to present 1t at once.
Judge Advocate General Swain has re-
ceived from General Hancock the proceed
ings of the court-martiat, but as yet he has
not examined them. He expresses him
self freely that II the members of the court
were sworR in without the presence Of the
accused it would vitiate the proceedings,
bnt qualities it with the statement that hC
does not believe the members Of the court
would be guilty OF so gross a blHnder.

Do not dust but wipe!
Who would believe it; the buster,

We are in dead earnest an eminent
scientist declares it to be fact.
Do you know just what you are
doing when you brush away dust?
You disseminate into the air, and con-
sequently introduce into your own
interior, into your tissues and respira-
tory organs, all sorts of eggs, spores,
epidemic germs and n,urderous vi
biones which dust contains.
Onemovement with feather buster
may be enough to poison both you
and your neighbors-to inoculate you

Instead of feather buster take a

stirring it up.

Verbal Errors to be Guarded
Against.

The following examples of the more
common errors in the use of words are
from "The Verbalist," by Mr.. Alfred
Ayres:
Accord for give, as "the information
was accorded him."
Aggravate for irritate; aggravate is
to make worse.
Allude to for refer to, or mention.
AS for that; mot as I know Of"
fer mot that I know"
Avocation for vocation mans
vocation is his business, avocations
are things that occupy him inciden-
tally.
Balance for rest or remainder.
Character for reputation; one may
have good reputation, but g bad
character, and the two words should
never be confounded.
Dangerous, for in danger. A sick
man is sometimes most absurdly said
to be dangerous, when it is only meant
that the poor fellow is himself in dan
ger-a very different thing.
Demean, for debase, disgrace or
humble. To demean ones self is
merely to behave ones self whether i'll
or well.
Dirt, for earth or loan.
Donate for give.
execute for hang, as applied to the
criminal. 1t is the sentence, not the
man, that is executed.
Healthy, for wholesome an onion
plant may be healthy but when you
pick onions there is no more healthi-
ness or unhealthiness to that although
it may not be wholesome as an article
OF food.
lily, for i'll.
Inaugurate, for begin
Kids, for kid gloves,
Learn, for teach.
Liable, for likely or apt.
Loan, for lend.
Pants, for pantaloons or (better stilI)
trousers.
Partake, for eat.
Plenty, as an adjective, where plen-
tiful is meant.
Real, for very, as "real nice'' "real
pretty"
Reside for live; residence, for house.
Retire, for to go to bed.
Seldom or ever, for seldom if ever,
seldom or never.
Some for somewhat 'she is some
better to-day"
Stop, for stay where are you stop
ping ?"
This is one of the vilest of vulga-
risms.
Summons, (the noun) for summons
(the vero).
Those kind of apples, for that kind.
Transpire, for occur.
Vulgar, for immodest, or indecent.
Without, for unless.

An April Girl.

The girl that is born on an April day

If you had been born on an April day?
The girl that is born on an April day
Has also right to cry, they say;
And so / sometimes do give way
When things get crooked or all astray-
Wouldn't you

If you had been born on an April day?
The girls of March love noise and fray;
And sweet as blossoms are girls of May;
But belong to the time midway
And so l rejoice in a sunny spray
Ofsmiles and tears and hap-a-day-
Wouldn't you
Do it, too,
If you had been born Oh an April day?
Heigh-ho and hurrah for an April day,
Its cloud, Its sparkle, its skip and stay!
mean to De happy whenever may,
And cry when l must; for that's my way,
Wouldn't you
DO it, too,
If you had been born on an April day?
