A NOT OVER MODEST WITNESS.
Testimony of a Private Detective in the
Hann Divorce Case.


Hann Divorce Case.
Some time ago social circles of the
pleasant little village of Washington,
Warren County were thrown into q fiut-
ter by scandal in the Ham
family. The Hans were prom
ineptly identified with the Wash
ington National Bank and Louis j.
was its cashier. The scandal was to the
effect that Louis Ham had thrown his
ely treated her. The parties separated
and Mrs. Ham went to live in New
York. This morning she appeared in
Vice Chancellor Pitneys Court
as defendant to divorce suit
brought by her husband on the ground of
unfaithfulness. The first witness was
Louis Wein, an Austrian. who said that
he was private detective. He WAS a
swarthy, greasy looking individual, and
spoke with strong accent. He testified
that he was employed by Mr.. Ham to
shadow his wife. On December 2
last he stood in front of her
house, No. 1,7l5 Madison avenue,
and saw her come out He followed her
down town to Sixth avenue between
Forty-sixth and Forty.seventh street,
where she met man. She accompanied
the man to house at Sixth avenue and
Forty-sixth street, where she remained a
half nour. The detective says he after
ward ascertained that the reputation Of
the house was had.
On December 10 he again started to
shadow Mrs Ham. She came out of her
house and started up the street. He fol-
lowed. She saw him and stopped until
he came up and then she asked hi m why
he was following her and why he was al
ways looking up to her windows. He
replied that he was stranger in
the neighborhood and was looking for
someone. She asked MIN what his busi-
ness was and he replied that he did moth
ing as be had money. Then, he said, she
squeezed his hand and be asked her if
he could come and see her. She said not
there as she had dress maker IN her fat
and she had a bad husband and had to be
careful of what she did.
At this testimony Mr.. Ham, who is a
rather stout but pretty woman, wept
while those in the court room could not
but smile at the idea of such refined
woman as she appeared to be using such
language toward the greasy repulsive
looking witness. At this point the Court
adjourned for recess

-Four years ago there was surplus in
the United States treasury that had ac-

They reduced that surplus by spending

4 Curious

There is to be seen just O at the
South African general agency, at Cock
spur street, Charing Cross, a curious
collection of dried up or mummified bah
oons. taken from a cave near Cron-
stadt, in the Orange Free State. They
have the skin on them still, and in two
instances the female has a young bah
Don clasped in it's ''arms," as if at
tempting to save it from some sudden
catastrophe. In the cave were also
found two human skulls, a dogs head,
a bird and the head of an antelope, all
imbedded in the wall of the cave and all
having the same appearance of great
agony or fright.
Several experts have examined the re-
mains with a view OF ascertaining, if
possible, the cause of death, the most
probable theory being a sudden flood

A Limit to His Patience.

Saturday afternoon, when vehicles
were very thick ON Washington street,
ali old gentleman in a yellow vanished
straw hat with a wide curving brim
and clothes that had a rustic flavor, and
carrying an old black leather valise, sat
on an electric car from South Boston,
bound to the northern depots. AS the
car passed Jordan & Marsh's the con-
ductor called out, Next stop Summer
and Winter The old gentleman turned
around, looking very much surprised.
''You don't say sol" he murmured tim
idly. The car went about two rods
farther and came to a dead stop.
There was a jam of teams ahead that
didn't seem likely to be broken for some
time. People began to get out and go
on afoOt. The old gentleman sat still
out presently he grew uneasy. In a
minute he grew uneasier still and con
suited a large, open faced silver watch.
He waited about a minute longer, and
then he got up and began to climb down
off the car.
Look here" he called out to the con-
ductor, I'm willin to stay with We all
summer mebby, but I'll be cussed if I'll
set here all winter
And he went on down the street.

The Yorkshire Penny Bank.

"Take care of the pennies and the
pounds will take are of themselves" is
an old maxim of great truth. Exempli-
f~ication is afforded in the case of the
Yorkshire Penny bank, whose trustees
have just laid the foundation stone of
magnificent new premises in Leeds. This
institution has now in its custody 1,440,-
0O0,0 900 of pence-that is, just sc, OO0, 900
of the savings Of the people. In 1872
it had only e33O, 900. Meanwhile, that
the managers have found the bust
ness of taking care of the pence" a
profitable one appears evident from the
fact that their reserve fund has risen
from Sc, 706 to e160, 000.
The greater part of the money in
trusted to the bank by its depositors is
of course invested, and it is stated that
the. bank has now 81 100000 out on
mortgages and over GA, 500 900 in ne
gotiable securities, including $500, 900
in consOls.-London Tit-Bits.

what Has Become of the monograph

What Has Become of the Photograph?
What has become of Edison's phono-
graph! This is Of the most mysteIl-
Gus disappearance of modern times. A
few years ago it was announced that the
famous American inventor had perfected
this instrument, and some public expert
ments that were given seemed to sup
port this view. A simple little appa-
ratus, costing probably not more than a
sovereign to make, was made to repro
duce Indefinitely any sound, wen to a
grand instrumental performance that
had taken place in another hemisphere.
Various were the speculations as to the
manifold use of the new continuance.

aperture and their clerks could hear
their actual instructions at any subse-
quent period. Up to now, however, we

Cinnamon VIII Fight.

CHICAGO, August 26.-Sam Moy, who is
prominent in the Chinese colony in Chicago,
SURPRISED government officials by informing
them that orders had been received from
China not to obey the law requiring
Chinese residents to take out certificates of
residence. He said the government of China
had sent one of its officials to this country to
fight the laws in the courts. This minister
from the Chinese court was in Chicago few
days ago, he said, and had informed him and
Others of the wishes of The Chinese govern
ment.
The representative from the celestial en-
pire had gone to Washington to secure the
best legal talent to be had, and the law would
be tested in the United States supreme court.
A test case would be made of the arrest of
some Cinnamon in Detroit. where they were
held on the charge of violating the exclusion
law passed by the present congress. In this
way the exclusion act and the provision COM
pelling Cinnamon to take out certificates of
residence would be tested together. Until a
decision was rendered. he SAID, no Chinaman
in Chicago would take out certificate.

Official Action on Cholera.

BERLIN, August 3O.-Delegates from all
the federated states held conference here
on the subject of the cholera.
The president of the police reported that
not single case Of Asiatic cholera had yet
been certified to in Berlin. Statements COW
ering the whole health condition of Germany
were reassuring, although Prof. Koch thinks
that the worst peri ID of the epidemic IL
Hamburg and Altoona has not yet passed.
The authorities of Hamburg and Altoona
are blamed for concealing the presence #
the disease. The first outbreak occurred in
Hamburg as far back Us August IA, and in
Altoona August 10. During the whole week
vessels left Hamburg under clean bills of
health, although the authorities knew the
epidemic was daily growing wolse.
The imperial health office, recognizing the
value of the utmost publicity, is making ar
rancemelts to publish daily health record
of Berlin and other cities, reporting all cases
of cholera and kindred diseases. Diarrhaal
diseases and dysentery, which are rather rife
here, and which are apt to alarm the people,
will have the especial attention of the doc
tors.
