A MILLIONAIRE WITNESS.
How the Clerk of a Committee Brought Jay
ga. Gould to the Stand.

New 1Ofk sun.
When the clerk OF Senator Blair's commit
tee went down to II Broadway with the
senatorial summons, duly signed and sealed,
hid away in mis- coat pocket, and inquired
for Mr., Gould, the guards at the door tried to
bluff him Off just as Mr.. Sage's henchman
did Clerk Ball. But the committee clerk was
equal to the occasion. He refused to be
biuffed. and marched right into the sanctum
OF the millionaire. 'Mr. Gould, D." said he smil-
ingly, 81 have "a" Hold on, young man."
responded the railroad and telegraph magnate
severely, chow do you know my name is
Gould?'
Know? How do I know? Why shouldn't
know what even the bootback here knows?
There's no mistaking Mr.. Jay Gould when
you see him. So you will permit me to
hand you this summons. Senator Blair
would like your testimony on the labor ques-
ton"
But don't know anything about it," re-
torted Mr.. Gould. II don't want to be a wit
ness. L won't CO."
'But you must come, There's no getting
out of it"
''Oh, you don't say sop
eyes, do. 1t will cost you just $3.50 and
imprisonment if the fine isn't paid, to stay
away"
The millionaire paused. He studied the
exterior of the clerk and the varied chrog-
raphy of the summons in silence for a time,
and then exclaimed:
"Well. Humph! I'll think about it. You
may tell Senator Blair that I'll try to be
there"
Jay Gould was there. as all newspaper
readers know. AS he was leaving the COM
mittee-room to catch the elevator, to re-
establish personal connections with the
street." the same clerk stopped him and
said:
Hold on a moment, please, Mr.. Gould.
You'll excuse me, but you've earned some
thing by your testimony" Mr.. Gould looked
up in astonishment, and the clerk went on:
Yes, all witnesses are entitled to So each as
fee for their testimony. There is So due
you, sir"
But l don't want the 49,"
Give it to the poor then" With this
philosophic and philanthropc suggestion the
clerk held pen and blank receipt to secure
the millionaire's signature. But the latter
got frightened, and exclaimed:
mo, [ can't sign that. 1t might look as
if took the money if did" Then he ad-
justed his diamond-studded cuffs, put on his
hat and bolted from the room. The SO
which would have gone to the poor is still in
the Senate committees treasury.

Julian, Hendricks and Mcdonald.

Cnlcagc News
We desire to add the name of George W.
Julian to the list of glorious Indiana posi-
bilities Mr.. Julian is Democrat of the old
school-that is to say, he believes in Andrew
jackson, trap-door pantaloons, and natural
leaf plug tobacco.
1t should be borne in mind that Thomas
A. Hendricks did not participate in the Ohio
canvass. He was so dreadfully afraid some
other Indiana man would be recognized I'M
duly that he followed Joe Mcdonald over
into Iowa and mingled his blood and bones
in the slaughter that resulted. Hendricks
seems to be entirely lacking in that attribute
called foresight, and, furthermore, he is so
insanely selfish that, instead of venturng
his chances on the theory that every tub
stands on its own bottom, he insists upon
standing on every tub in Indiana.

A BAD DRUMMER.
How e. b. Harris Made and Squandered
Fortunes Believed To BE Crazy.


The full career of Ewing 3. Harris the
successful drummer who supported aFranco-
Italian adventures luXuriously at the Grand
Pacific and lost most of his fortune through
the McGeoch failure, has just come to light.
Harris's home and family were at Muncie,
Ind. For the past six years he has repre-
sented the tobacco house of Brown IL Earle,
New York, and his sales have reached fabu-
lous sums His commission on cigars alone
last year was $25, 900. Harris also owned a
Leadville mine, large cigar store in Kansas
City, and considerable mercantile property
at Muncie, Ind. He was specializing in flu
lures at the time of the McGeoch failure and
lost $4,000. This heavy loss deranged his
mind, which had been greatly overtaxed in
keeping track Of so many interests A few
days after the failure Harris visited his fam
lily and gave his neighbors q royal wine sup
per. Nobody knew of his mental trouble
and it was supposed that he had made a big
financial strike.
Harris started out on Western trip a few
weeks ago. He visited Omaha, Kansas City,
st. Louis, and other places, at each of which
he offered to invest $50 900 in any feasible
scheme. Soon stories of his wild dissipation
reached his family, and Reuben Pckard, OF
Omaha, his father-in-law, started out to find
him. He traced him through the South
thence to Chicago and hence to Fort Wayne,
where he found him at his fathers house, a
hopeless invalid. He had squandered $685.
600 on his trip.
When in this city one of Harrs's fancies
was to send long kilograms, costing several
dollars each, to people in various parts of the
country inviting them to come to Chicago
and dine with him. The adventures into
whose tolls he had fallen Pickard says, chung
to him like leech. She literally robbed
him of his money, and even went so far as to
petition the courts to appoint her his guard
ian and conservator of his property. In this,
however, she was baked by Harris's family,
and the estate was saved.
In st. Louis Harris became infatuated with
a repulsive cOlored woman. He made her
many presents, one of which was necklace
worth $780, Mr.. Piclard finds that, notwith-
property is left for his wife and children.
