After careful diagnosis, he decided that it
was tuberculosis. He also took portions of

disease. DR.. Bailey was consulted critically

THE PAN ELECTRIC.
Mr., Pulitzer of the New York World
Before the House Committee


WASHINGTON, March 12.-The special
committee of the House charged with the
inquiry into the issuance of Pan Electric tel
ephone stock to government officers began
their investigations today. Mr.. Boyle of
Pennsylvania, is chairman of the committee
which is composed of Messrs. Oates of Ala
bama, Hale of Missouri, Eden of Illinois,
Hale of Iowa, Millard of New York, Ranney
of Massachusetts,, Hanback, of Kansas and
Moffatt of Michigan.
Mr. Pulitzer of the New York World was
the first witness. He said his name had been
connected with publication touching GER
tain telephone stocks. He assumed the en-
tire responsibility for the publication of those
facts, and no one had tried to influence him
in any manner whatever. He declared he
does not know human being today who is
stockholder or interested in the Bell Tele-
phone Company. He had no motive other
than that arising from afeeling that the pub
lication of these facts were in the nature OF
news and in the nature OF public service.
1t was only after he had ascertained from
his Washington correspondent that he had
made every effort to verify the correctness of
his statements and only when the hope. he
entertained that certain gentlemen mention
ed, particularly one gentleman, might rid
himself of the stock, which while not
involving any venality at all did seem to him
an act OF impr0priety or public indiscretion
only when that hope had been disappointed,
and he had felt assured that the matters
were correct, only then had he published
those records, as they might be termed. In
the further course of his testimony Mr.. Pull
itzer stated his correspondent had received
the material for these publications some time
last fall, but they had not been published un-
til several months after matter to the
same effect had appeared in Republican
newspapers. He had not wished to make
the publication until all the facts had been
verified The Worlds publications were
based on letters written by men holding pub
lie stations, one of whom was the present
Attorney General. These letters had come
into Mr.. Pulitzer's possession through his
Washington correspondent. His correspond
ent he said was the felicitous receiver of the
album $50 called of DR.. Rogers in which
these letters were kept An opportunity
had been given the public men involved in
these publications to reply to them through
the columns of the World, but they had de-
clined to make any statements.

Golden Wedding.

Mr.. James Hulet and his wife, of New
Gloucester, celebrated the fiftieth anniver-
sary of their marriage Tuesday, the ninth
day of March. 1t was an occasion of much
interest and pleasure. Many relatives were
invited and though the storm in the morn
ing did not permit the attendance of aged
relatives in the vicinity, and the bad travel
ling hindered tho coming of kindred and
friends from neighboring towns, yet goodly
number gathered in those rooms which for
fifty consecutive years Mr.. and Mrs. Hule'
have made their home.
Five children, two sons and three daugh-
ters, with their families, came to greet their
parents in the old home. 1t is a glad day
when brothers and sisters in middle life
meet their aged parents in the old family
mansion. 1t brings back the child life afresh;
it lifts the burden Of care, and wells the
years already passed; and as boys and girls
we sit again around the same hearthstone,
and gather around the same table, listen to
the same voices, and look into fathers and
mothers face again. How we used to live,
and what we used to do, comes to our minds.
Each one has some incident of youthful life
with which to amuse the others: each re-
joices in the good fortune of all the others
and each is sure of the sympathy of all the
others in the shadows and trials of our COM
mon lot.
AT the dinner hour the company were seat
ed around luxuriantly furnished table, the
parents occupying the place of honor. Among
the numerous kinds of cake was one large,
beautifully frosted, and bearing the date
1S36-1S86, from which each one received a
generous slice. After dinner, Rev. E. Bean
rendered the congratulations of those present,
and read poem prepared by lady friend,
and offered prayer. Miss Cora Hewlett, a
granddaughter, read an original poem. Mr.
Granville Hulet, the oldest son, a resident of
Westfield, Mass, made some remarks mostly
addressed to his parents, and presented a
large nice easy chair to his father, and a
beautifully bound copy of the Holy Bible to
his father and mother. The grandchildren
made an offering of gold coin to the grand
parents, The venerable father responded to
the sentiments and wishes expressed. Then
the company united in singing Praise God
from whom all blessings flow" The bene-
dction closed the exercises. Age rests light
ly on the aged father and mother, though
they have passed the three score and ten.
They are vigorous, carefully attending to the
various duties of farm and household life.
May the blessings of a kind Providence still
attend them; and when the end of this NOR
tai life is reached may they, through grace,
by faith in Christ, enter the endless life in
Heaven IL. B.
