and have all he was entitled to, but he
also wanted every soldier dishonesty
on the roll or drawing more money than
he was entitled TO taken from the roll.
He proceeded to discuss the result Of
the investigation Of the pension office.
At Baltimore it was found that pension
attorneys secured the pension checks,
held them as payment for the money due
and charged a fee for collecting them.
At Norfolk a regular mill for the
manufacture of pension testimony was
unearthed. IN New Mexico the most
astounding frauds were committed. a
similar condition of affairs existed in
the Indian territory and in certain parts
of Iowa. In concluding his speech Mr.
Enloe said that the time would come
when every honest union soldier and
every self-respecting citizen would APP
plaud the pension policy Of this admin
istration.
Mr.. Morse closed the debate for the
day with a vigorous assault on Mr..
Cleveland and Commissioner Lochren.
At the conclusion Of his speech an agree
ment was reached to close the debate
after three hours further discussion on
Monday. Then, at $40 p. m, the house
adjourned.

RICHARD CROKER's INTERVIEW.
He believes New York Is Satisfied with
Its Government.

NEW YORK, Dec. ia formal inter
view with Richard Croker, chief sachem
of Tammany hail. was given out for
publication today. The feature Of the
interview is that it is largely personal.
He starts out by saying that he invites
an investigation by the legislature, then
follows a circumstantial defense Of Tam
many hall. The big chief makes the
positive declaration that he does not
possess a dollar that was not honestly
earned.
IF those who charge otherwise" he
said, significantly, would make specific
declarations l would find means OF COM
polling them to prove their charges"
He follows this up with the declara-
ton that he will under no circumstances
withdraw from the leadership Of Tam
many. He believes the people Of New
York are satisfied with the sort Of gov
eminent Tammany is giving them with
reference to the resolutions recently
adopted by what Is called the Independ-
ent Tammany organization. He denied
that the liquor saloons, gambling houses,
houses Of ill-fame and other criminal
resorts are assessed for political pur-
poses. He says there is not a gambling
establishment in the town, and in the
first time for thirty years such a thing
can be said. He acknowledges that he
advised the passage OF a law that would
close the pool rooms. He says they
were a nuisance and they disgraced the
city Nine-tenths of those who went
into pool rooms were clerks who could
drop into a pool room across the street
and lose their money. As to DR.. Park

been talking about. L do not like to
say anything about his work personally,
and shall not. His methods are simply
a matter of opinion. Personally, L do
not believe they are wise"

CONFIDENCE MEN SHOT.

an Intended Victim.


SIOUX CITY, Dec. 16.-G. +. Meyers and
Joe Blum, who with confederates, have
been operating a confidence tailor shop"
in this city, were shot and instantly killed
here shortly before O'Clock this morning.
The killing is supposed to have been done
by a stranger, whose name Is given as A.

on a train for Omaha ten minutes after
the double homicide and has not yet been
apprehended. All the circumstances point
the testimony Of Hugh McDermitt OF Rock
Rapids he went with Philey TO the rail-
road depot about $50 a. m. While there
the two were engaged in conversation by
Meyers. He invited them out to take a
drink Philley accepted. In ten or fifteen
minutes Philley returned somewhat ex-
cited and out Of breath and caught the
train leaving at a. m The theory is that
Meyers took the stranger to the headquar-
tiers on Third-st., where Blum was on
guard, and attempted TO rob him, and that
he resisted and shot both. At first IL was
supposed that other members of the gang
were the guilty parties. and "Burly5

having been placed certain distance
from each other. A moment later In
the most inexplicable manner the two
vessels have changed places, and the
operation is performed twice and even
three times; yet nothing remains be-
hind the paper cylinders, which are torn
into hundreds of pieces before the
audience. Fig. No. l Of the cut
explains the mystery. The bottle is
made of glazed tin without a bottom.
It fits over a second bottle the same In
appearance as the first In the hollow
of this second bottle an empty glass Ii
hidden, just like the one that contains
the wine. The operation of pouring
one-half of the wine into this glass,
hidden by the bottle convinces the au-
dience that they have before them q
real bottle. The juggler covers first the
bottle with one of the paper cylinders,
as II to try its fit. When he removes 1t
he lifts up with it the first bottle. The
empty cylinder is then put over the
second bottle, while the glass is covered
with the cylinder containing the first
bottomless bottle, as shown in Fig. 2.
The magic wand is brought into play,
and when the cylinders are raised, bot
tie and glass are found to have changed
places. Nothing but sleight-of-hand
trickery is necessary to repeat this
operation several times, always with
the same result to the great mystiflca-
ton and surprise of the lookers-on.

Scientific Sport with Gold.
The experiments of the chemist when
they relate to the precious metal gold
possess peculiar interest, which re-
calls the mad search of the alchemists
for some means of turning baser metals
into the magic yellowstone. The chem
list Of to-day does not waste his nights
upon any such bootless labor, but the
results he attains are sometimes, from
scientific point Of view, as interesting
almost as would have been the success
of the alchemist Of old.
Recently curious compound of gold
and cadmium has been obtained In
England. Cadmium, IL will be remem-
bered, is rare metal found In zinc
ores, and chemically closely resembling
zinc. When heated in the Dir It takes
fire, and is reduced to brown powder,
or oxide.
To produce tho compound mentioned,
gold and cadmium are placed in tube
from which the air has been exhausted.
The quantity of cadmium Is three or
four times that Of gold. When the two
are heated and then shaken together
as they melt, there comes rapid
change. The gold suddenly glows
brilliantly, and the combination of the
metals Is at that moment effected.
The heating is continued for several
hous until all the surplus Of cadmium
has distilled off. The final result il q
compound metallic mass, about two
thirds of which is gold.
1t is light silver-gray in color, and
breaks easily with crystalline tract
ure. When hot nitric or hydrochloric
acid is poured upon it the gold resumes
Its original state and purity, W. lie the
cadmium passes into solution in the
acid.
1t is this protean readiness to changS
their color, their attributes and theit
relations under proper conditions, and
TO resume their own character with
magical suddenness when the condi-
tions are altered again and makes the
chemical elements so ccaselcssly inter-
esting to every inquiring mind. And

perimcnts Of this kind, whose rcsults
