IN COMMANDER GRAHAM'S CASE.
The Tirst Session vas Held on Board tho
Monitor Fleet Yesterday-Thc Board
Composed OF Naval Captains.

The officers composing the court Of inquiry
recently ordered by the Secretary Of the
Navy 10 examine into some alleged irregu-
larities in the accounts Of Commander James
d. Graham, Of the monitors. assembled in
this city Monday night and convened on
board the monitors yesterday morning. The
board consists OF three captains in the navy.
with First Lieutenant Charles II. LAUGH
heimer. from the recruiting Office at Baltimore.
as Judge advocate.
TIE MATERIAL.
The material of the court is very fine. The
officers are Captains A.. =. Cook. Bartlett j.
Cromwell and George w. Sumner. all of
whom are experienced in naval law and
usages. Captain Cook and Lieutenant LAUGH
heimer are registered at the tNchange, Cap
tain Cromwella q. Murphy's and Captain Sum
ner al Ford's.
Corps at the Norfolk navy-yard. an officer ac-
complished in military and naval law and
usages. is counsel for Commander Graham.
and Colonel 10. Lane Stern IS associate coun-
sci.
Acourt o. inouiry correspondent naval courts
very nearly with the grand Jury or our courts
and IS not Il court-martal IN any sense. lhe
duty of this court Is to report the facts de-
INftu from the tNAAtAJt II ~
further proceedings il necessary. not only IN
the case of Commander Graham. but also
any man in the navy who may be connected
with the alleged irregularities The evidence
gathered in q court of inquiry IS never USED
in any court-martial that may follow.
CONVENED.
The court convened "A little before noon
yesterday on board OF the monitors and organ
lzed tor the work before them. The precepts
and instructions IN the case furnished By the
Secretary OK the Navy were formally read and
the members took the usual Oaths.
Commander Graham was presented and
recognized and the books and accounts OF tie
monitors produced for tie use of the court.
The latter will be examined by the members
OF the court, but they VIII not be used as evil
dence IN the case. These preliminarles occu-
pied several hours and nothing else was ac-
cOmplished. Ii was suggested that Com
mander Graham be examined. but his counsel
objected and the court adjourned until 3
o'clock this morning.
The trial will continue each day from 9 A..
VI. until 3 j. NJ. until completed and will last
perhaps q week OF ten days. A number or
witnesses will be examined. including James
D.. Prentis-. former ships writer. whose con
nectiOn with the matter is well known 10 the
readers of TIE TINES. The court will be
held with open doors and the evidence made
public. The men from the monitors who
visit the city have many kind words for Com
mauder Graham and spoke with great regret
that he is I'm trOuble. This trouble comes 10
Commander Graham at m unfortunate time
for him. as 10 il on the eve of his promotion.
and any irregularities proven would block
his advancement and probably cause his re-
tirement from active service.

TO PUT AN EGG INA BOTTLE.

A good dinner table trick is to make
an egg force it's way into an ordinary
wine cdrGte, such as is found on all we'll
regulated dinner tables. The other &C
cessOries are some paper and medium
hard-boiled egg, with the shell taken off.
Drop the paper lighted into a wine
bottle, and get the interior well heated.
This expands the air within and
forces part of it out. While the interior
is still hot stand the egg up on end in
the neck of the bottle and let it rest
there.
As the bottle cools off the egg will be-
gin to force it's way in until it finally
drops.
Another trick, which works on the
same principle, is to make banana peel
itself.
To do this all that is wanted is
a wine bottle and bit of paper
wet with alcohol. Light the paper and
drop it into the bottle.
When the air in the bottle is well
heated set the banana on end on top and
let it do the rest itself, as the air on the
inside cOOls off and contracts the out.
side pressure pnshing the banana down
into the bottle until it has pulled itself
out of its skin. st. Louis P0St-DiSpdtch.

GIANTS AT HOME.

Bellows Falls has 17-year- old giant
named Fred Smith. He is six feet eight
inches tall, weighs 1874 pounds, measures
43 inches around the chest and 50 round
the waist. A dime museum firm in
Boston has offered him a salary of S25
week. He wears a u hat and II
shoe. His father is an ordinary sized
man, but his mother weighs 2GO pounds
and is more than six feet tall. Young
Smith recently saw an article in a news
paper headed ga Marylsnd Giant" de-
scribing boy of his own age and size in
that State. He wrote to the Maryland
youth, and the two boys now correspond
regularly. IL is probable that the lad
from Maryland will come to Bellows
Falls for visit. There is, however, one
boy in Windham county who surpasses
Fred Smith. Reference is made to My
ron Jillson of Nottingham, who is now
attending the district school in his
native town. He is also II years old
and is six feet nine inches in height and
weighs POS pounds. Windham county is
wonderful section, and not the least
among its wonders are its big boys.
JillSon and Smith stand at the head of
them. Berkshire county, Mass, has
been boasting of one who will be II in
April, who is six feet tall and who
weighs POO ounds.-PhOenir.
