Judge Whites Severe Arraignment
of the National Loan Concern.
ALL THE DEFENDANTS CONVICTED.
District Attorney Johnston Quotes Shakes
peare With Effect.
ONE DAY IN TIE COURTS OF THE COUNTY

The trial Of Seton, Dunn, Cannon, But
Ter, Phillips and Harrison, the agents of the
National Capital Savings and Loan Asso-
citation, charged with conspiracy, vas con-
cluded yesterday.
Attorneys R. P. Wallace, L. K. Porter
and A. c. Robertson argued for the defend
ants. They were followed by T. NJ.
Marshall, Jr., and District Attorney Johns
ton for the prosecution. During his address
to the jury District Attorney Johnston, ir-
ritated by the broad smile that Seton wore
during the entire trial, happened to glance
at him and catching a broader grin than
usual, said, quoting from Hamlet: "Smile
on. One can smile, and smile, and smile.
and be the villain STILL"
The court smiled all round, and Mr..
Johnston continued his address.
Judge White followed with a careful
charge to the jury. He reviewed the evil
dence and the law covering tine charge of
conspiracy. In the course OF his charge be
said that from its literature and the paper
it issued, etc., he had no hesitation in say
ing that the association the men had acted
for was a stupendous fraud. In the matter
of agents for such corporations, be said that
legally under the laws of Pennsylvania the
prisoners were not the agents of the aSsoeia-
ton. Foreign corporations must publish
the names and the addresses of their agent
or agents in the cities in this State. The
agent who appointed Seton and Dunn to
the agency here had been appointed as the
agent in Philadelphia. and had no power to
act here. Consee uently Seton and Dunn
were not legally the agents of the associa-
tion.
The jury retired at the conclusion of the
charge and were out but a short time, re.
turning with verdict of guilty as indicted.
Richard Butler was recommended to the
mercy of the Court
The prisoners were remanded to Jail, and
their attorneys at once entered motion for
. new trial.

THE COURTS POWER DENIED.
An Assertion That 1t Cannot Revoke a
Wholesale Liquor License.

Attorney Davis yesterday filed th,
answer of james Tuite, the wholesale
liquor dealer at Smallmsn and Thirty-first
street, to the petition of the Springfield
School Board to have his license revoked.
Tuite denied the allegations made by the
school board and claims that his house is
quiet and orderly and that he had not vio-
lated the law. His attorney also claims
that the court had no power to revoke a
wholesale liquor license. He asserted that
the act of 1872 governed the revocation of
wholesale licenses and under it there had to
be two convictions for violations of the law
before the license could be revoked.
Judge Magee took the papers in the case
and reserved his decision.

A Washington Dog Story.

Washington Letter to the Pittsburg Dispatch.l
 One of the most remarkable public char acters in Washington lives on Newspaper Row. This individual goes from one office to another every night and holds confer ence with the various correspondents. He is acquainted with many senators and rep resentatives, and he often takes part in the little dinners of the correspondents. Still he is less than foot tall. and, like the wild man in the circus, he has hair all over his person. He is n Scotch terrier and his name is Fidge.
 He is about the size of an ordinary white poodle, and he has the brightest of black eyes shining out of a bushy face. He is, however, the brightest dog in the United States and he has made national reputation through his Washington tricks for the past five years. Senator Blair calls him Socrates, and he says he believes that he contains the soul of some great man of the past, which in the course of its transmigration is now inhabiting the dog. He sometimes sits for hours in the news paper office of the St. Paul Globe practic- ing on the dogs wonderful intelligence, and as he plays with him he talks to him, saying: Fridge, I am sure that in the eons of the past you were some great man. And would have thee tell some of thy past experiences. Perhaps you were Plato, and spouted philosophy, even as some senators talk on education. Per chance you were Socrates, or you may have been of Roman birth, and the same soul that voices forth your bark may have conceived the orations of Caesar, or given | forth the pure classic of Cicero. Tell me, n1 IF r-ara s.asarf k American, speak Greek or Latin, and l will try to understand you"
 Not long ago Governor Swineford of | Alaska paid visit to Washington. NIT. Smith Frye, Fidge's owner, was looking for him, and he went though Willard { | hotel and failed to find him. He dropped | in at the billiard-room, but saw no one he knew until he started to go out, when q man in a dark corner of the room beck | oned to him. He went over and it was | Governor Swineford. As the governor shook hands he said: "Your dog has bet ter eyes than you have. He remembered me, and when he saw me playing billiards over here he came over and caught hold oi my trouser leg with his teeth, and pulled | at it till looked down, when he rose or his hind feet and offered me his hand. |
 is four years since I saw him and his mem
 ory is good"
 The manager of Forepaugh's circus saw
 Fidge year or two ago, and he offereS
 Frye one thousand dollars for him. Con

CORN FOR THE FRENCU.

MT. Walter T. Griffin, the commercial agent of the United States at Limoges. France, offers seasonable suggestion re- garding the introduction of American corn into that country. His investigations show that the corn produced in France is raised with great difficulty and is of in ferior quality besides, facts sufficient to &C., count for the French prejudice against h. dian corn as staple article of consump- ton. What corn is imported is used either as food for animals or for the man. ufacture of starch, glucose and alco- hol; nor is the Spanish pro- duct, with which, also, the French people are familiar, much more desirable, for it is bitter and of generally inferior quality. Of American corn little is known, notwithstanding the efforts made for it's introduction at the recent Paris exposition. MT. Griffin suggests that the cantonal fairs, held monthly throughout France, be followed up by American enterprise, and that American corn be prepared, cooked and served at these fairs to give the people practical knowledge of it's value.
 This is good idea, and it should be promptly and thoroughly carried out. If the Frenchmen become we'll acquainted with Johnny cake, Hoe-cake, Nasty Pud- ding and other delicacies which can be constructed from corn meal they will buy our corn fast enough

they set out, either at storytelling or watermelon-raising, and while it has sort of moral to it, as all good stories should, it is most useful as an illustration of the re markable honesty of the rising generation of these parts.
 But all the people are not engaged in fruit raising or drying. Some are farm ing, and with apparent good success, though an eastern farmer if brought here might be at loss as to how to go to work, and would most likely make failure the first year, unless he took good advice Gin moderati0n) from his neighbors, but once started he would probably do as we'll as he even did in Connecticut, and though he might be surprised to have having time come around eight or nine times year, for the alfalfa crop requires to be cut about every six weeks,-and has already been harvested for the fourth time since Jan- uary first, still he would no doubt get used to it after a while, and perhaps like it, and would surely have fewer stumps and stones
 to bump against than on his ancestral acres.
 Last year much good hay was spoiled be-
 cause the rains began little earlier than
 usual, and also because the crop was So
 large that there was not room enough to store it, for it is the custom to leave the hay out doors on the ground just where it was baled by the travelling hay press; but this year there is smaller crop, at better prices, and much of it has already been taken care of. J. F. B.

AND STILL THEY CO,rE

General Alger last week at Boston said that more than 3OO,0 900 applications have been made to the commissioner of pensions under the new disability law, and that ap- plications are coming at the rate of 10000 per day. This remark has led a Washing ton correspondent of the New York Sun to make an interesting investigation of the pension business. While nothing but the official report of the pension office can show the exact state of the pension roll to-day, and also of its prospective increase, there are yet some means of making an estimate on the subject. The last annual report showed that there were 4S9, 729 pensioners on the rolls at the beginning of the last fiscal year. The net addition for the previous year had been 37, ,16S. That was perhaps an average of the net increase for several former years. The net increase for the year before, however, had been 1850 names, which was an unusual growth. During the last twelve months there has been almost unprecedented | activity in adding names. Still, if We SuppoSc tht totdi Htt lilCItdsc TUT U0e Neaf to have been only little over 4O, ,00O from ordinary routine sources, we should have on the rolls, at the beginning of July, 530,- 900 pensioners. We next have to consider 300, 900 applications under the Disability bill, increased at the rate of 10000 a day Supposing these new applications to stor at 400, 900, and also supposing that 50, ,00( of these applications are from pensioner, already on the list, as estimated in con gress, we should still have balance o 35O,O ,OOO new applications. Even if only G | per cent. of these were successful, we should l still have total of 210,OOO new names added to the list, making, with the 530, ,00' already estimated, total of TAO, 900 on thu pension roll.
 This is really astonishing, and there is
 we suppose, more to come. Probably il

From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazefte.l
 Tobacco sellers are troubled just now by the visitation of tiny brown bug that seems to be a confirmed tobacco ehewer and something of a connoisseur of the weed also. The bug is about the size of seed of flax and is almost the color of to- bacco. It bores its way into cigars and eats large holes :n the filler. It burrows its way through packages of smoking to- bacco and lives on the fulness thereof One or two observant dealers, John c. Da- wis for one, has noticed that the bug will bore into cigars made of Havana tobacco and packages of smoking tobacco in which there is Havana mixture. Thee fleets of the work of the bug are very destructive, for they ruin a cigar by making hole in the wrapper, and all smokers know that cigar with a tiny hole or two anywhere in the wrapper, except near the mouth end, ruins the draught of cigar. It is the first time the bug has ever been noticed, in Cincinnati at least.
