NO WITNESSES ON HAND,
And the Tunnel Court of Inquiry Oc-
cupfed To-day I'm Reading the Record.

The tunnel court met, according to program.
at 1890 this morning, armed with all the
means for taking testimony, but when the
recorder began to search in the corridors out
side OF the courtroom, where the witnesses are
in the habit of waiting, he could not find any
and returned to tell the court in few minutes
that he had no material on hand. 1t was ex-
pected that either Sub-contractor Brennans or
Emory would be present The court has been
endeavoring to get these men to Washington
for some days. and kilograms have been sent
to various places in the hope of finding them,
but they have not yet materialized. Yester-
day morning telegram was received from
Brennan's wife. which gave some idea that he
might be present this morning. but he did not
appear. The recorder read a letter from
Emory, dated at a town in Massachusetts,, stat
ing that III health would prevent his travelling
at present and he could not tell when he would
be able to come.
sUBPGNAED BEFORE THE CONGRESSIONAL. COM
MIrTEE.
Lieut.. Townsend announced to the court
that both he and Major Lydecker had been
subpGnaed before the congressional commit
tee for Monday next, and asked that the court
devote that day to the reading of the record
instead OF the taking of testimony, which was
agreed to.
The recorder then turned back many pages
IN the record book and began reading at a
brisk rate the proceedings of about week
ago. The court hopes TO have secured num-
Der OF witnesses by tomorrow. and in that case
will resume the taking Of testimony in the
morning. In the meantime they will amuse
themselves by listening to the tale of the re-
corder.
A Bricklayer's Representations.
correspondent of The STAR, who was en-
ployed as bricklayer in the aqueduct tunnel,
takes exception to Col Kerlin's testimony be-
fore the court, that the foremen of the brick
layers were to blame for bad work. The writer
gives his own experience in the tunnel and
claims that the ''shoddy' work was demanded
by either the sub-cOntractors or the inspectors
Where an inspector was honest and required
good work he would be removed from where
the men were at work by either Brennan or
Emery, sub-contractors, when they visited the
tunnel, so that there might be an opportunity
to 'yank" the work, the slang term for bad
work. An inspector might desire to be honest
bat he knew that if he required good work he
would lose his place. Whenever" he writes.
ANY of the engineers arrived at any of the
shafts the telephone was used from shaft to
shaft. and the nipper,' or top man. gave word
of his coming. Then slushing up with all hands
began, so that when the engineer arrived all
appeared good work. Col Kerlin used to come
through the tunnel generally once in the twen-
ty-four hours sometimes twice. If he knew
nothing of the bad work he must be blind"

Howells was found insane by jury yesterday
The testimony of the physicians was that in the
last year her intellect has weakened very
materially. She was the victim Of decisions,
and told very frankly story that she has been
guilty Of improper conduct and was therefore
unfit for association with other people. Last
January she was adjudgedsane by jury, but

Iced tea is constantly growing in favor,
and is now considered a standard beverage
in many homes. Some enterprising gro
GERS also furnish a trial cup to the patrons,
and in this way sample their teas. This
question was once asked us GLOW is iced
tea made?" and while some of our readers
may smile at the question, yet we assure
them there's nothing so very ridiculous in
it. To be sure, it is only to drop a piece
of ice into a goblet OF tea and the thing is
done. But then, the tea itself! 1t isn't
every one who knows how to make that
tea, and to them this hint will not be I'M
profitable. Put the tea into an earthen or
agate ware pot and set on the back of the
stove where the pot and contents will get
thoroughly warm; then pour on water thai
has been freshly boiled, and boiling thor.
oughly at the time; let stand on back OF
stove for fifteen minutes, by which time
the tea will be perfectly drawn. If you
desire the tea TO be perfect and to remain
SO, separate the liquor from the leaves by
pouring it off into another vessel. lf'your
intention is to spoil it, you have only to
boil it and let it remain with the leaves in
the pot.-Idble Talk.

"ToM PINCH" IN NEW YORK.
A Useful and Exemplary Philanthropist
-Example of His Noble Work.

In a long, narrow, rather dusky room,
with IL desk by the only window, and an
odd assortment of trunks piled n above
another, household utensils, and n couch
suspiciously like n bed, lives II modern
Tom Pinch, with n heart rs warm as u n
shine and a hand Of ready sympathy
reached out to the help Of the unfor-
innate
Perhaps no man in the city accomplishes
more real charity than this u~nassuming,
unknown little MAJ in the rusty black
suit and %antiquated tile. lie can under
stand how the very sound of the word
''home" is distasteful to n proud-spirited
woman, appreciates the shrinking n cul-
tured woman feels from the companion
ship Of some of the inmates Of the coslno-
politan charitable institutions, and SYM
pathizes with the repugnance a refined
woman feels for positions Of drudgery for
which she is physically untitled and men
tally superior.
His experience would furnish the plot
fora hundred novels more pathetic than
any ever written.
An educated, refined, gifted young
woman came to the city to seek her for
tune, the typical female Benjamin Frank
lin. She obtained board in u cheap down
town hotel, and remained until her funds
were exhausted, drifted into one of the
"Homes," and finally came to this mar
with just IS cents in her pocket.
A place was found for her in n western
town, and there she educated herself in
an eminent profession, established anc
built up Il lucrative practice. and is an
honored and esteemed citizen.-New Yorl

ILLUSTRATING VOCAL PROGRESS.

Synopsis of Exposition of the Holt Sys-
TEN of Musical Instruction.
Frank Damrosch deliveredin New York
recently n lecture on "The Best Methods
of Vocal Instruction in Our Schools"
The discourse, WHICH consisted of an
exposition of the Holt system of musical
instruction, was illustrated by 81 little
tots from the Workingmen's School OF
the Society of clinical Culture, who had
been under instruction about eight
months.
The Holt system is founded upon the
principle of rhythm, which Mr.. Damrosch
defined as n mental conception, the regu-
lar recurrence Of accented sounds.
The principle as applied to the music
score was demonstrated by the use of a
pendulum operated by the speaker. The
varied oscillations Of this instrument
marked the different tempt and took the
place Of beating time by hand, which was
considered detrimental to the pupils pro-
gress by reason Of the motion Of the hand
attracting the pupils attention at the ex-
pense of the ear, which should be kept
free from any detracting influence.

4 Practice Not Commended by the Real
Sportsman.
SpearingsucKers by torchlieht is sport
much practiced on the western branch of
the Passaic River for II distance Of several
miles. Every night the torches can be
seen flashing along shore as far as the eye
can reach, and the effect is peculiar and
very pleasing.
The fish always lie close inshore Mt
night, and as they are Of Il sluggish nat
ure and can be quite easily seen bytheaid
Of the torches some of the more skillful
spearmen secure a large number in Il
short time.
One of the best stretches for the sport
extends from Hawthorne, near where the
first toll-gate on the GodwinvilIe maca-
dalnized road formerly stood, to the Main
street bridge. Some nights there will be
an almost continuous line Of torches
throughout this entire distance, which is
fully y mile.
Spearing suckersi is the tamest and most
stupid manner of taking fish, still-fishing
with angle worms ranking next, and is
regarded by sportsmen as being about on
a par with ot-hunting for game; the
highest form is casting for trout, bass or
other game fish.-Paterson Guardian.

French women's corsets.

Let common sense decide as to corsets.
A weak, nervous woman who feels best
In loose wrappers mo judge for n ro-
bust girl who really enjoys the trim set
of her cor-et, and takes no harm from it.
Ii is painful, however, and unsuitable to
see active housekeepers going about
morning, noon and night in close-fitting
dresses and corsets.
Except some support for habby figures,
no corset should be worn in working
dress, which, in or out of doors, should
come as near the freedom of a gymnasium
suit as possible.
French women have sense about this,
aud teach their children and order their
households half the day in flowing gowns
which would scandalize our triced up
matrons. Then the slender artistic corset
is worn with visiting and evening dress,
to far less detriment.-New York Sun.

At the foot OF the cataract we took n
swim in the Nile. We wore our under
clothes for bathing suits. We hung them
up before our state-rooms to dry. In
ten minutes they were dry enough to
be worn.
We nave all heard of The universal habit
of all Africans to anoint themselves with

HOW 70 TREAT CRAMPS IN THE

Many persons, Of both sexes, are trou-
bled with cramps in one or both their legs.
1t comes on suddenly, and is very severe.
Most people jump out Of bed Git nearly al

bed, or while undressing) and ask some one
to rub their leg. have known it to last
for hours, till, in despair, they would send
for the family physician; and even then,
it would be hours before the spasm would
let up.
There is nothing easier than to make the
spasm let go its hold. and it can be accom-
plished without sending for 4 doctor, who
may be tired and in need Of q good nights
rest. When | have a patient who is sub
ject to a cramp, | always advise him to
provide himself with a good strong cord.
A long garter will do if nothing else is
handy. When the crainp comes on, take
the cord, wind it around the leg, over the
place that is cramped, and take an end in
each hand and give it a sharp pufl--one
that will hurt a little. Instantly the cramp
will let up, and the sufferer can go to bed
assured it will not come again that night.
For the permanent cure, give about six or
eight cells of galyanic battery, with the
negative pole applied over the spot that
cramps, and the positive pole over the
thigh. Give it for ten minutes, and repeat
every week for a month.

NEAR SIGHTED PEOPLE.


a New York optieian Explains tho Causes
Of and Gives Remedies for ny"pia.
Gin no other city ia the world can be
found so many peop.e afflicted with my
opia or near sightedness ~ right here in
New York" said a Broadway optician a
few days since.
ITO what do you attribute the preSa-
lence of this partial blindness
Near sightedncss arises -fromanumber
of causes, chief among which are reading
in the dusk Of the evening, or fatiguing
the eyes In trying To- read by aid Of a bad
artificial illumination; reading while in u
living position, or with the head thrust
too far forward; the perusing of blurred
or slovenly printed books, or matter
printed in a very small type. All these
and many other things conduce to n
gradual decrease in the power of vision,
and if too greatly persisted in will finally
end in the total destruction OF the sight.
''The principal cause OF the prevalence
of short sightedness (anong our business
men at least), is the pernicious habit so
largely INDUCED in of reading newspa-
pers while riding in the surface cars or
omnibuses. The joIting or swaying mo
ton Of the ear or bus causes an unsteadi-
ness OF hand, which makes the type APP
pear blurred and uncertain. Thesteadier
easy motion of the cars on the elevated
roads has done much toward the preser-
walton of the eyesight of those who find
that they must rcad while en- route and
who ~patronize the rrial mode Of transit.
"Whcn does one become conscious of
falling visual powerf" was asked.
Zone first begins to discover that he is
losing his kecnness Of vision when the
signs along the streets and distant objects
are not easily discernible without a con
scious effort, accompanied by a painful
straining and extension of the pupil. When
one Is convinced that his eyesight is fail
ing him he should not delay a moment
before consulting an oculist.'
"Is not near sightedness sometimes
hereditary"
- believe hereditary influence to be Of
great effect in causing short sight. l
have known large families, whose mem
bers, from the youngest to the oldest,
were afflicted with weak eyes or a too
short range of vision. The sight can be
preserved and prevented from growing
poorer only by the use of proper glasses
at the proper time. a dangerous mistake
too often made, is that Of wearing glasses
which are either too weak or what IS
worse, too strong for the requirement Of
the eye.p
