Hill IuysstiCatiOn.

WASHINGTON, May 2i.-The committee to
investigate the charges against Hill, super
vising architect of the treasury, met to-day
Murch was prepared TO go on, provided
certain privileges were accorded. He de-
sired full record be made of all the EVIL
dence and that he be furnished copy.
Ex.Collector Thomas, of Baltimore, who
appeared for Robinson Il Co., asked he be
furnished copy, and the committee ac-
cedea, whereupon Murch desired to take
up the charges seriatim. The first matter
was the Dix Isand Granite company. To
facilitate matters call was made upon the
architects office for certain papers which
he enumerated.
Thayer, of the architects office, who was
present in Hills interest, suggested it was
due Hill before requiring HIM to secure the
files of his office, tor ten years past, that he
be informed for what specific purpose the
papers were to be used and on what specific
charge against him they were expected to
substantiate.
Murch replied he labored under the dis.
advantage of being without counsel, and
had never before appeared in the court
either as plaintiff or defendant or uttor-
ney, but he expected later on
to have the advice of counsel. The object
in asking for the papers was TO snow that
great frauds had been perpetrated on the
government, and that the cost of public
buildings was being increased far hey ond
any necessity, and that contractors had in
81 me instances to be paid ten times over
the value of services rendered.
After discussion as to the mode of pro-
cedure, an adjournment was had till to-
morrow, with the understanding that
Murch be permitted toinspect the files of
the architects office, and use such letters
as he NAV desire.

culated TO inspire the confidence of any
ladies or men, who have to trust to fair DEAL
ing in drive. Some years ago just such an
accidental affair. practiced upon visitor
in Philadelphia, aroused the press OF that
city against abuses that had hitherto gone
unnoticed, and so persistently was the war
wagsd that in less than three months time,
even the hire OF hacks was cut down 80 per
cent. OF the former rates. The
street railway men and Others all
combined to wipe out grievances
that had been too long borne in that city.
In many cities, and in some in this state
rates are 25 cents where IN Dallas they are
now 80 cents, and 1t might be well to in
quire whether if the community are to be
aggrieved in one direction, the grievance
cannot be in some manner compensated for
by an improvement in another. The sub
iect is worthy of and will receive further
consideration.

PARIS CHARACTERS.


A Man with Trained Dogs aud Man Who
Drank Absiuthe by the Pint
Among the street vendors of Paris there
are-or rather there were, for one of them
has Just died-two men that deserve to
have their place in my gallery of Partisan
street celebrities. One Is a "merchand DIES
quartre saisons. or street huCkster, who
every morning traverses the Rue Mon
martre and the Rue Faubourg Montmartre
pushing a little hand cart loaded with vege-
tables of the season and followed by half doz-
en- we'll trained dogs, which he puts through
their PAGES in the most amusing manner
possible. The other, the one who has just
shullled off this mortal coil, was known by
the soubriQuet OF Phomme labsinthe,
and he was, perhaps, the champion absnthe
drinker of he world. Every morning at
precisely o'clock, having laid in his stock
for the day at the Central markets, he
would start up the Rue Montmartre,
shouting in stentorian voice the names of
the "comestibles" that he had for SALE
There was sometimes fish and sometimes
fruits, and as he was well known and greatly
liked by all the old ladies and servant
maids of the neighborhood, his stock was
generally disposed of before he reached the
boulevard. AT the first wine shop on the
right after he had entered the street u glass
of absinthe was ready for him. This he dis
patched at gasp ut the third wine shop
on the left he repeated the dose; again a.
the fourth on the right, and so on until he
had thus dispatched twenty-five glasses OF
what is probably the most poisonous
liquor that mans fondness for stimulants
has yet invented. 1t might be sup.
posed that long before the twenty second
glass he would be dead drunk, but
such was not the case; he not only showed
no trace OF intoxication, but after his sales
were all made invariably breaklasted with
u good appetite in little wine shop on the
corner OF the Rues Faubourg Montmartre
and Lagrange Bateliere. His death was
entirely due to an abuse Of the green
liquor that is considered, and justly 50, so
dangerous. His loss has brought sorrow
to the hearts OF all the menageres OF the
Rue Montmartrc,. for "Phomme labsinthe"
had well deserved reputation for honesty
in the quality of his comestibles and for
moderation in his prices.

The Future of Mexico AZ Viewed in London
The future of Mexico is thus regarded by
the London Saturday Review; Mexico has
future, but it will, like the future OF every
country, be future intimately connected
with the past. There is no such thug as
turning quite new leaf i'll the history of a
nation. The one great fact in the present
state of Mexico is that the Americans are
beginning to interest themselves in
the country. They have brought
much American money into Mexico.
The Central railway, for example, the most
important of recent enterprises in the
country, has been made and will be made
entirely with American capital. Nor is the
effect of this importation of capital merely
such an effect as the importation of capital
always produces. 1t has an exceptional
importance from its being the Americans
who bring the money In. The Americans
will not allow themselves to run the risks
to which other foreigners in Mexico might
be exposed. They will not patiently
endure their investments being en-.
dangered by revolutions or brigands.
Mexico will be richer because
it will be quieter, and II will be Quieter be.
cause ii will be under supervision. But il
will not grow either rich or quiet in day,
The nature OF a man is not rapidly changed
even by compulsory education. The an.
cient tenure OF land in Mexico is in itself an
obstacle to swift improvement. Almost all
the best soil is in the hands of large pro,
prietors, who are generally absentees, liv.
ing abroad or in the towns, who are fire..
quently burdened with debt, and. at the
best, are content to get a sufficient income
in easy, old.iashioned ways. There
are no doubt some few enlight.
ened owners of land who are quite
willing and able to try experiments, but
these experiments do not always answer,
and they find their neighbors slow to imi.
tate their example. The income of Mexico
is increasing, and with increasing revenue
1t is able TO subsidize railways, and will
soon, perhaps, settle tsdebt. But, in order
to obtain this revenue, the government is
Obliged to impose duties which greatly re.
