The stahlneeker Investigation.

Washington dispatch; The house
committee investigating the charges
against Representative Stahlnecker
spent nearly all of the afterneen hear
ing argument from counsel as to
whether 1t would be proper under the
resolution creating Gnd instructing the
committee to inquire into the quality
of material-cement, marble, etc.
recommended to Architect Saitmeyer
by Representative Stahlnecker. 1t
was finally decided that the purview
of the committee embraced only the
alleged undue or improper influence
exercised by Representative StahI-
necker to induce Saitmeyer to recon-
mend to the library commission the ac-
ceptance of certain materials, and that
the quality of the materials had moth
ing to do with the question at issue.
the committee holding that member
Of congress had no right to interfere
one way or the other, with the accept
ance or rejection by federal officer Of
bids made or materials submitted where
contracts for government work. are to
to cross examine Mr. Saitmeyer. who
proceeded to detail the manner, places
and dates of Mr.. Stahlnecker's alleged
opportunities in behalf of cement and
marble contractors. He said that Mr.
Stahlnecker and Mr.. CardoZa-the lat
ter representing the New York quarry
company impOrtuned him in the in
terest of certain kinds of cement and
marble, quite a number Of whom re-
garded the advances suspiciousIy, be-
LeVing that they meant to improperly
influence him. He was wined and
dined in this city and elsewhere, he
said, until the cOurtesies became such
a burden that he would have rejected
them had he not been afraid to do so
that he knew Mr.. Stahlnecker was in a
position to do him (Saitmeyer) official
harm, and he withstOOd the attentions
and advices as long as he did, accept
ing the wine dinners and suppers dur
ing a period covering many months
only because he was afraid to reject
them. When the committee adjourned
Mr.. Saitmeyer was held under cross
examination by Judge Wilson, coun-
sci for Mr.. Stahlnecker.

Dogs Are Going Out Of Fashion.

st. Louis GlObe-Democrat: Every
day a sad eyed man stroIIs up and
down Broadway with a collection of
dogs, held under control by long
strings. People stop him and talk.
The intelligent animals drop down on
the fagstOnes or grass and wait. But
the bargain never comes. Dogs" the
fancier reluctantly admits, are going
out of fashion" A magnificent ST..
Bernard with a muzzIe like a lions,
and great, speaking eyes, is offered for
half what would have been considered a
moderate price two years ago and finds
no purchaser. The pug does NOT ride
IN mlladi's lap with his neck decorated
with yellow bows-npt this season. He
skirmishes through the alleys and con-
sorts wife ours. He has fallen from
aristOcracy to democracy, and the fan
cier says there isn't any market worth
mentioning now for these once pam
pered darlings. Poodles, he adds, he
would never think of offering any more
to respectable ladies. 1t would be an
insult. The only canine pets which
the fair mistresses have not wearied of
and discarded are the terriers-the
Slzyes and their hairy kin. But even
these animated mop brushes are not as
popular as they once were. Saratoga
hOtelkeepers were quick to "catch on"
to this decline in the dog fashion. Last
season there were women who brought
their dogs with them, and not only in
sisted on having them in their rooms
ut all hours, but some actually took
their pets into the big dining-rOOms
to the meals. One woman, the wife of
q wealthy Rhode Islander, carried her
terrier into the crowded ball room and
deposited it in a chair beside her,
while scores Of people stood. Oblivi-
Gus to the stares and mutterings, the
woman enjoyed tie hop and the ter
rler took n nap. This season when the
/ descendant of Roger Williams put in
her appearance she found, 10 quote the
affabIe clerk, "that the rates of board
for dogs had riz. This is the conve-
nient way the Mr.. Riley of Saratoga
has of dealing with Objectionable
guests. There IS bottom but no top
limit to rates. The Rhode Island pat
ron was informed that she would be
charged for the dogs board, at a figure
at which even her eXtrayagant ideas re
| cOiled. Thus the line was drawn this
season on dogs. The landlords would
hardly have attempted such a course
last year, but they saw the dog craze
winning, and they hOisted the warning,
mo dogs need apply"

New York Herald: The school treats

England take to spend their money.

country seat of the giver of the treat,

by Col. North, the South American
He had a special train, and the children
came In the care of their teachers and
were accompanied by the eurate of the
parish. A generous lunch was prOVi-
ded, and 1t was nice to see the hostess
and a bevy Of pretty young women,
with big white housekeeping aprons
on, busily employed IN spreading but
ter, making sandwiches, or cutting up
big masses OfwholesOme cake.
The affair lasted from 10 a. m. to ;
p. m. There were all sorts of games
and the never to be omitted Punch and
Judy show. Air ballOns were sent mp
and every child received a toy of some
sort. The country band supplied mu-
sic, and 1t was great fun to see the i'm
pOrtance af the. bandmaster as he fused
about with an air of great importance.
Her ladyship, the hostess, was treated
like a queen by him and everybody
else. Some time during the afternoon
all the children were grouped for a
photograph, and then they marched off
for tea In a big tent. The curate said
grace and the good things soon disap-
peared. / found these children very
easy to amuse, and they invariably
laughed in the right place, which can
not always be said Of older people.

An Important Decision.

Judge Gray recently rendered a de
cision in the case of Geo. w. Dumond
of EarIsville, H., against the Mer-
chants National bank of Chicago and
the Union Stock Yards National bank
The facts Of the case are: Dumond's
commission man at the stock yards de-
posted with the Union Stock Yards
bank 81, 200 belonging to DumOnd with
direction TO have it placed In the Mer-
chants National bank, through the
credit of the Exchange bank of Earl
Vile for the use of DumOnd. The IN
ion Stock Yards bank failed to state
that it was for the use of DumOnd, and
the Merchants bank, suppOsing that it
belonged to the EarlvilIe bank, ap-
piled the money on an indebtedness of
the Earlville bank to it.
Judge Carey held that the Union
Stock Yards bank, and not the Mer-
chants bank, was liable for the money,
for their failure to place the money to
the credit of the EarlyilIe bank for the
use of DumOnd, under the instructions.
The bank appealed.
