Baku Not Drying Up.

The report of the exhaustion of the Bal1u oil supply, which has lately been extensively circulated, appears to have arisen from the fact that shut down" of large number of wells was ordered, for the purpose of check ing the over-production which has been going on. It is no uncommon thing for a native of Baku to tap a supply of 2O,- 900, 900 gallons of oil, and waste 19, OOO,- OOO out of it, simply for want of foresight in providing cap for tho well, or by the omission to arrange for surface storage. The authorities have now taken the matter in hand and passed laws which regulate the supply. In view of the rapid in- crease in the demand for petroleum. it is satisfactory to know that Baku is as prolific of oil as ever. The oil trade is rapidly assuming such gigantic propor- tions that for many years there will probably be ample room for America, Russia and Burmah. as well as for the minor fields that will in time furnish a supply for the worlds market. But, in any case, it will be a good thing for Russia when the more careful and eco- nomical methods of America are adopted in the Caspian region.

Some of Their Pccuiiar;t!cs and Exasperat
 ing Traits Described.
 Just as every man who fails at all the other professions is pretty sure to conclude that his calling is journalism, so every horse who, by eccentric char acter or blemished physique, has shut the stable doors of society against him winds up in in the stalls of a iveryman. that's as it seems to me. Through no fault of my own, as far as taste and desire go, most of my riding and driving has been done with the asSistance-Sometime nominal-of hired eauines. A very celebrated horse man once boasted in my hearing that he considered the study of horses moro edifying than the study of man. It struck me at the time that the speaker mad not come in contact with many livery stable horses. Acquaintance with the noble beast under the latter conditions may be interesting and too often exciting, but not edifylng. But do not want to catalogue all the vicious, criminal, curlous and hypocriti- cal quadrupeds of the equine race that 1 have met. Merely an instance of typical character.
 It was not my fortune to be taking the air on that bright day last month in a neat double wagon behind a couple Of glossy bay ponies, when two young ladies of this city drove cheerfully away for a mornings drive through some of our lovely suburban roads. The ponies had como from a livery stable with a character for more gentle ness and sweetness of disposition than even hired animals can usually com mand. They bore out their character during the first half hour. The ladies in the wagon were just beginning to en- | joy the drive immensely. It was about ! three miles from home.
 | Suddenly, without the slightest warning, at a place where the road was conveniently broad, the two ponies ex- ecuted a wheeling movement, which ended in a turn to the left about in spite of all the efforts of the fair driver to stop them. There was some struggle for the supremacy, but the ponies lasted longest, and, to cut the story short, they trotted home at rat ting pace. They turned neither to the right nor to the left, but went di- rectly to the livery stable.
 The liveryman stood at the door and listened to the charges against the ponies. Then he said, apologetically: ''Yes, them ponies are that fond of home that they will try and come back whenever they get show.''

 Deep in the quiet night. when all the household were sleeping; when the faintest footfall awoke ghostly echo in lne awful stiffness of the house, the young student, forgetful of the swiftly passing hours, toiled on, steady trav- eler on the stony road which leads to greatness.
 It was to Silas Craig, the attorney, that Don Juan Maraquitos had articled his protege, much to the dislike of the young man, who had peculiar aversion to the usurer.
 '.Let me be with any other lawyer In New Orleans rather than that maH," he said; "I can never tell you how deep a contempt have for his character

ONLY A PITTANCE,
But It Does for Republican Capial-The Cost Of the
GubsrnatOrial Commission So Far
Less Than $500.

BALTIMORE, July 3O.-Under date OF
Terra Alta the Sun publishes the follow
ing in regard to the gubernatorial contest
in West Virginia:
Thus far the committee has had pretty
plain sailing. The real work before it will
be reached when Mercer, Mcdowell and
Kanawha counties are taken up. The con-
testants and their respective attorneys will
be present all the time while these cOun-
,ies &C beiug investigated. Mercer eou1-
" is one of the so-called back counties
which is sparsely Eettled. Judge Fleming
challenges some three hundred votes in
this county. The evidence which will be
before the committee indicates that a
large number of the people, mostly ne
qroes, were brought over from Kentucky
and Tennessee and put to work in the va
rious coal mines a few days before the
election, and others were employed to
opea prospective mines where there was
in fact no coal others still were put to
work preparing to build railroads, etc.
Il is asserted that all these people
voted. and in very few days
after the election left the state.
Ia Mcdowell county a state of affairs
similar to that in Mercer exists, as shown
by the dispositions sent up for the commit
tees examination. The committee ex-
poets TO conclude its examination and re-
port in about Six weeks from this time.
COST OF THE CONTEST.
There has been an attempt upon the
part Of some Republican partisans to make
capital by charging up to the Democratic
party enormous expenses which they have
alleged would be incurred by the commits
sion. Some have placed these expenses
as high "a seventy thousand dollars,
others at forty Thousand. These esti-
mates include the entire expenses
Of the special session of the Legislature
which will be called to receive the report
and decide the contest. Not only so, but
the estimate is based upon a session Of
sixty days, when, in fact, the time occu-
pied in this matter would not probably oc-
cupy ten day. The committee is not al
lowed any itinerant or incidental expenses,
and it's actual cost for per diem and legal
charges TO this date, as furnished TO the
Sun correspondent by the stenographer
from his notes, is 81, $50.

HUSSEY ON TRIAL.
Another Scandal Stirred Up In the Pension
Department

WASHINGTON, July 3O.-The case Of
JOhu B. Hussey, ChiefOf the Pension Di-
vision of the Third Auditors Office, who is
onssged with having made fraudulent use
of the files of that Office, has been referred
to the Solicitor OF the Treasury for such
action as may be deemed necessary.
1t is impossible to learn the precise
character OF the evidence against Mr..
Hussey, bat it ia undeIstoOd that q
recent investigation of his Office disclosed
the fact that official information concern
ing pension CASES pending in that effica
had been improperly furnished 10 outside
parties.
It is said further that a difference OF
opinion exists between the Solicitor OF the
Treasure and the United States Attorney
for the District of Columbia as to the pro-
priety of criminal proceedings against
Mr.. Hussey, the former holding that
there is ample evidence of q
violation of the law, and the latter taking
the view that the evidence adduced is not
sufficient to prove fraudulent intent on
the part of the person accused.
Solicitor Hepburn refuses point blank to
discuss the matter, and will not even ad-
NIT that he knows anything whatever
about the case. Mr.. Hussey still retains
his Office in the department. He has
been in bad health for many weeks and Is
still confined to his bed.
