A QUESTION OF vERACITY.
Chicago's Mayor and Chief Of Police Swear
to Different Stories.

CHICAGO, Sept. THE cases of the
thirty-three employees and officials OF
Garfield park club arrested last Friday
for alleged violations of the amuse
ment license law. were called in JUS
tice Blume's court yesterday, and
Mayor WashburEe and Chief of Police
McClaughrey, who were called Us wit
nesses by the defense, gave very sensa-
tional testimony.
The mayor testified that about two
weeks ago Chief McClaughrey had
called on him and stated that James
Burke, of the Hawthorne club, rival
track of the Garfield club, situated
just outside of the city limits,
had asked him what he thought of !
proposition to have the Hawthorne
club give over to the city $4,000 to be
used for campaign purposes if the Gar
field Park club were closed. The
mayor did not agree to the PROPOSE
ton, but informed Chief McClaughrey
that it could not be accepted on any
condition.
Chief McClaughrey, who had been
compelled to retire to another room
while the mayor gave his evidence,
was put on the stand, and in the
mayors hearing contradicted under
oath the statement of his superior.
He said Burke had never suggested
that the Hawthorne people would give
$50, 900 to have the Garfield track closed
up, and he had never talked to the
mayor about such proposition.
On being closely pressed by the at
torney for the Garfield club, the chief
made the following statement of what
took place when he was in the mayor S
office: IL merely gathered the idea
from the general gossip about the city
hall and among the newspaper re-
porters, that il the stories concerning
the willingness of the Garfield people
to pay $4,000 to be let alone were
true, the other fellows, the Corrigan
crowd, would undoubtedly be willing
to give an equal amount to have the
Garfield fellows closed up"
The chief then testified positively
that he did not state to the mayor that
Mr.. Burke had suggested to him that
the Hawthorne people would give
$50, 900 to the Republican campaign
fund il Garfield Park was closed,
and also that he did not make any in
timation of the proposition or sugges-
ton in connection with Mr.. Burke's
name. Which of the two city officials
committed perjury was not developed
when the cases were continued until
TO-DAY.

Chief McClaughery says Of the trag-
edy that it confirms his determination
to close their park. 80 far from
changing my mind" said he, lit con-
firms my decision If police
officers can not enter the park
in the discharge of their duties
without being killed it is time the
park is closed. Is the city to sur

officers were clearly on the side of
the law and in discharge of their
duties. They had warrants to serve
and that gave them sufficient right

MISS DREsDA's CHARTS.
Sheriff DelOzier, of st. Clair
County, Missouri, Falls q
Victim and FrOlics While
Waiting for His Wife
to Die.

A special to the st. Louis Repuh-
lie OF this morning, from Clinton says
that Sheriff D.iozier ofSt. Clair couD-
ty is not in the strictest sense a guar.
dian Of the peace and homes Of the
the people Of this county. He has q
wife and three small children. He
comes from an old and respected
family. Until recently his reputation
has been as good as the best, and he
was prominent ia church affairs. He
was elected Sheriff and was hcnored
with denomination on the Republic
can ticket.
All went we'll until q few weeks
since, when the cantata "Qaeen
Esther" was presented by home
talent. Sheriff Del, zier took
leading part and little
Dreeda Henderson figured as
pianist and soubrette. After the rem
dition of the cantata the knightly
sheriff was frequently wont to take
his cornet and bic himself to the Hen.
derson home to improve his musical
talents. As time wore on the intimacy
between the Sheriff ind Miss Dresda
grew. The gossips began to connect
their names in no complimentary
language. and finally Miss Hender-
sons father forbade the Sheriff the
cour;esies of his premises. He then
sought surcease by writing letters to
his inamorita in which we're planned
clandestine meetings. The denoue.
ment came last Wednesday, when
pretiie Dresda, in obedience to a
written request of the Sheriff, started
to join him at the Bolivar fair. The
girls father susp1c ted something
wrong ard overlook her by wire. She
returned home, confessed to cIsndes
tine meetings and showed letters which
she had received.
TIE sheriff returned to bis home
Saturday and was met ty storm of
wrath. The prosecuting attorney,
with whom he had his flee, gave
him on hour to get his things cut and
much talk Of violence was INDUCED.
Cslmer counsel prevailed and the
sheriff is to-day detested by those to
whom he owes everything. The
county committee will meet next We'd
nesday and declsre the place on the
ticket occupied by bis name vacant
and select another candidate. His
resignation from the office may be de-
manded.
The wors. feature of the affair is in
one of the letters addressed to Miss
Henderson. There he stated that he
could not be with her constantly, but
that his wife is in i'll health and when
she shall have passed beyond then no
barrier would be between them. Both
maintain that no criminal relations
have ever existed between tn.m.

at least, in his estimation-with tho
aid of the punkah. After having slept
under the punllah, he dresses and
breakfasts under it, whereupon his car
riage takes him under the Office pun
llah. Towards two o'clock his horses
take him once more under the titfin

eight o'clock, for the dinner punliah.
On Sundays he hastens under the
church punkah, and even in the open,
while slipping his ''peg'-whisky and
soda-of an evening, the Indispensable
punlsah provides for him the required
degree OF cool temperature. Besides
the ordinary punlSah, though, there are
others--perfect wind machines.
Such one l saw in the club house

dous draft as to make the newspapers

The wonders of Reproduction.

Aphides are species of minute in
sect belonging to the order of
Herniptera, suborder Homoptera, and
taken collectively, 100 of them would
hardly weigh a grain. Now, let us try
comparison. The average man, we
will say, weighs about 100000 grains.
Yet it has been found, by actual
calculation, that if these minute in
sects were left unchecked to only the
tenth generation the descendants of a
single pair would be equivalent, in
point of actual weight, to 100000 very
heavy men. This would be equal to
one-third of the population of the
globe, supposing each person to weigh
an average of ESQ pounds.

hludecons they pound cnch piece, no

bludgcons they pound each piece, no
matter whether lace or jeans, on a

on it, until any kind of web goes to
pieces. They're low-priccd enough,
uniform rate of five rupees (S1S0) per
hundred, no matter whether hant,lSer-
chief or shirt. But the damage they
occasion!
The wages for the servants are very
low all around-from five to twelve
rupees per month (sl.s0 to sl.22), and
from this they have to clothe and feed
themselves. There are, it is true cer-
tain districts in India where wages
range higher; in Burmah, for instance,
where they run up to twenty-five rupees
(S9) per month.
Hotel rates are reasonable, ranging
from five to seven rupees per day (S1.s0
to S2.52), but in the matter of accom-
modations they compare neither with
good American nor European hotels.
Ice boxes are unknown, and the only
way to obtain cool drinlSs-wine, ale,
whisky, etc.-is to throw chunks of Ice
into the glass; a method which is GER
tainly not calculated to improve their
quality.
One Of the most characteristic fea.
lures of life in India is the excess
sive use of the punkah. 1t sounds
strange, but it is, nevertheless, strictly
true, that the average European in
India is more susceptible to heat than
the average American in this country,
for instance. The bungalow of the
European is, as rule, on every side
so accessible to air that it is reasonably
cool, even during the hot season. 1t is
built one story high, surrounded on every
side by broad verandas, and each room
opening towards the latter. There
| is constantly passage of fresh air
through every room, but despite all
this the punlah may be seen suspended
from the ceiling of every room, and
this tremendous fan is constantly kept
in motion, as soon as any room has been
taken possession of by European, by
coolie, crouching outside on the vcran.
da and pulling, in regular measure, the
rope that runs through hole in the
upper wall and moves the punllah itself
