West End Railway bill. after swearing
a long list of witnesses, to-day pro-
ceeded to examine G. A. Bruce who had
been counsel for the AmeS-Shephard
company. His testimony related to an
arrangement between the West End
company and the Ames-Shephard COM
pany, whereby the latter was not to pc
tition for charter this year and was
to assist the West End company, as he
understood, for money consideration.
He gave list of parties retained
to further the interests of the West End
company, and stated that he had re-
ceived $4,000 from the company, $1,000
of which was for whom he might
employ. The contract with some gen

company to procure a charter and
he paid a reasonable sum for
their services. Witness knew of no
members of The legislature who were
employed in the interest Of the West
End company. He had no knowledge
of any illegitimate work by persons en-

prospective workers to whom money

hammock.
Care should always be taken in the
selection of one of these household joys.
1t is not every hammock that can with
stand rapid changes of climate, and
some of the cheaper ones are so tender
that they need to be housed with the

Often the hammock that has swung in
graceful curve in the early evening
will present sorry sight on the day

rip, tear, shrink or wear. Think of the
