Colonel Archer resumed his evidence :
My implicit confidence in him is such
that / could as soon think that / myself
were guilty of criminal wrong as John f..
Epps."
The audience started to applaud the
witness again, but the Chair almost mutt
lated the table with his gavel. Colonel
Epps had ever given him a note. The wit
ness remarked that his confidence in Mr..
Epps had always been so complete that
whenever he wanted any money he
| (Archer) loaned it to him without any pa
per. Every obligation had been promptly
and fully met.
Nh. EfPs MAKES LONG STATEMENT.
When Mr.. Epps first took the stand he
appeared to be rather excited and init
mated that he had been prosecuted. Il
will stand here" he said. "as long as any
one else wants to stand, and / am willing
TO make my statement, and TO make it on
oath. IN truthful, straightforward man

\ on the track and as much rs il l were Gu
venus. am going to give you the truth.
and when | get through with my state
msnt l will answer any question except
those that might iniure my feilow-men."
Further on Mr.. Epps said he had no idea
| that the committee wanted to take any
advantage of him. He said he was honest
enough TO believe and willing to confess
that he had acted indiscreetly.
Coming down to the real matter at issue
the Jefferson Ward Councilman said:
II want to show to you gentlemen how
/ came to borrow this money and hsw I
came to borrow it second time. Last

In December Mr.. Glenn and Mr.. Booze
came before the committee and said some

Say said Col. Peter Sweeney. of the

are in the habit of doing 80 whenever you
see one:
to pick up q pin, the same as you do. Then
there are the side val cranks. who always
step on each third or fourth crack. accord

After these come the STAIR cranks. They
wouldn't tell il to any one If they were
asked about it, but the fact Is that these
persons always start up.stairsleft foot first.
and feel badly if the right foot doesn't
strike the top of the stairs first. These
persons, l mag remark, are usually those

cranks who put their hosiery and footgear
on the left foot first.
Then some men have q peculiar way OF
entering q room. They will always enter
with . certain foot foremost and their exit
will be made in the same way. And Great

and never get through. But do you mind

There is an unusual number of men in

there has been moro or less complaints

against the young men In the oureory ao-
count books of the summer. but the young
men have found tho debt an easy one to
pay by o little extra sxertion In the winter.
"Why is IL that the young men linger In
the shade of the apartment house, instead
of seeking the cool varandas of hummer

con asking of Socrates the m~ondain.

BIRDS OF THE SEA.
Romance Concerning Them Rudely Dis
PEELED on Close Acquaintance.

Romance Concerning Them Rudely Dis
PEELED on Close Acquaintance.
Boston Transcript.
The mate said these birds were indeed
often called Mother Carey's chickens. but
that he had been brought up to call them
"old sailors souls" n that was what
sailors generally called them. Sailors. by
the way. almost always prefer q poetic
name, or q poetic account of any phenOme-
non. to q prosalc one. The name old
these wandering. lifting. spirit-like birds
OF the sea. who can never tear themselves
away from the very embrace OF she salt
water. who haunt the nelghborhoOd of
ships. who Will not 60 ashore under any
consideration, and who float forever In q
silent. mysterious way over the endless
stretches of the great deep.
Well, though presently the mate had q
romance of his own to tell of the Mother
Carey's chickens. he had first q great deal
first place. they are not lowering about the
water for the love of It. There IL no poetic
intention in this continual haunting of the
salt waves. Far from it. The birds are
simply feeding themselves. And what.
think you. are they feeding uponf Upon
the %drIppings of oil from the machinery of
the steamer, which rise to the surface in
its wake; and when you see them lingering
SO lovingly for an instant, seeming
they are soooping up this unpleas-
ant substance with their beak. The mate
says that. If you were to catch one of these
birds In your hands. you could not for
weeks eradicate the evil odor that 1t would
leave there. He told @ pathetic story Of q
little dog which he had aboard ship once.
and which worried some Mother Carey's
chickens that were brought aboard. and
after that, for the space of at least q month,
the little dog hated she world and himself.
and received nothing but kicks whore he
had received caresses. and thereupon wisely
abJured the worrying of "Old sailors souls"
for the rest of his life.
The mates own romance about the
Mother Carsy's chickens was this: He de-
clared that they mover went ashore. or
near the shore, under any circumstances;
that they bred at sea. carrying their eggs
under their wings until they Matched, and
nourishtng their young there. Hea verred
firmly. and on his word az q mariner aud an
officer, that he had seen the bodies of fe-
males of this species which were carrying
their newly-hatched young ones close un-
der their wings. n the bodies OF other
females with the unmatched eggs there.
This was certainly q most interesting story.
The mate was q sea-faring man of years,
solidity and character. 1t was q shock,
therefore. to be told, on the authority of
some one who really must know. that this
is not true. and that the Mother Carey's
chicken. like our other marine birds. goes
far north to breed every season, and matches
Its young In due ornithologlcal fashion by
sitting on the egg. somewhere in the waters
of Labrador.

Since the White House basement was re-
modelled under the direction of Mrs. HArri-
son. probably NO house in the United States
contains moro complete and convenient ar
r~angements for housekeeping than can be
found in the kitchen and laundry of the
executive mansion.
Mrs. Harrison gave quite as much atten-
tion and interest to the repairs in this de-
partment as she did to the decorations of
the parIors. and the renovation was very
thorough. New floors were laid through
