in by an officer OF the Humane Society

Alvira is 10 years old. She and her lit.

ago by Humane Society officers as they
were begging from passengers on the
street cars. 1t was learned that their
mother had been arrested at the instance
Sf her husband on the charge of being
intimate with an Italian banker named
Bergman, and steps were taken to have
the children sent to an industrial school.
The mother opposed the application,
and to prove that the children were not
dependent, produced roll OF $500 in
greenbacks. Bergman swore that she
had $1,000 on deposit in the bank.
Judge Prendergast allowed the children
to 60, with warning that he would
commit them if they were again found
begging.
Several days later an officer found Al.
vira following an organ grinder and beg
glng money while he played. She was
again arrested, and yesterday taken be-
fore Judge Pendergast. The officer stated
the case against the diminutive defend
ant and the court was about to take
summary measures to prevent repeti.
ton OF the oflehse when Bergman, who
is well dressed Italian OF about 80
years, stepped forward and handed the
judge slip Of paper, informing him
that Alvira was not dependent girl,
but his vile. 10 the amazement OF the
court he said Ii and the little girl had
gone to Milwaukee few days ago and
had been married, and the paper pre-
sented was their marriage certificate.
Bergman promised that his child-wiie
would not beg any more and also agreed
to caro- for her brother and sister. The
case was accordingly dismissed.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Feb. 27.-The

sessions Of the Senate become public.
Jules Guthridge Of the New York Herald; |;
A. J. Halford, OF the Associated Press;
George Balm, OF the United Press; NJ. G..
Seckendorf, OF the New York Tribune
and Frank A. Depuy, OF the New York
Times, testified that they had written
reports Of the proceedings of executive
sessions OF the Senate OF the 18th and
18th instants, at which the nomination
OF General Morgan was confirmed and
the British extradition treaty ratified
respectively; but when asked to give
the sources Of their information declined
TO do 80, upon the ground that it would
be gross. betrayal OF confidence.
Messrs. Seckendorf and Depuy were
asked il they declined to answer for fear
of subjecting themselves to criminal
prosecution, and to this they promptly
replied in the negative.
Mr.. Depuy stated that in all his ex-
perience he had never known OF an in

men who might have succeeded in evad-

OF the stairs. The doorkeepers were all
required to move their chairs and their
positions further away from the holy OF

been allowed to stay within six feet Of
the doors, but now they must move to a
minimum distance OF ten feet. This rule,
in several instances, pushed doorkeepers
into committee rooms on the opposite
side OF tho corridors. Heretofore it
has been regarded as sufficient to
shut and lock the two doors
which separate tho press gallery
and the press lobby, where the workers
do most OF their writing. What the
