long hours were wasted in the examination Of
some east side stoop line soda water vendors,
under the pretence that II was to be shown that
this business paid for police protection.
At the beginning Of the morning session Sena-
sor Cantor announced that he had called upon
President Goodhart Of the Hebrew Sheltering
and Guardian Society. the present custodian of
the Urchittel children. Senator Cantor said
that he had learned from Mr.. Goodhart that the

that unfortunate woman was subjected" Mr..
Moss intimated to Senator Cantor that the
proper steps would now DO taken to restore her

The first witness of the day was Frank H.

peared to be an outside manager. having TO do

When this witness stepped down Senator
O'Connor asked the counsel whether their at
tention had been called to the alleged fact that
private service for individuals or corporations
for which the persons enjoying those services
should pay. He said that he had been informed
that for such service the taxpayers were as
sessed in the neighborhood OF 100000 an

Mr.. Gofr who had just entered the court room,
paid that he was aware Of the fact, and would

Senator O'Connor-This system is especially
outrageous. because there is a law on the statute

Mr.. Con put in evidence the answer OF the
Commissioners OF Charities and Correction to
his warning concerning the danger OF illegaf
registration by inmates OF public institutions
who are not entitled 10 vote. The Commits
sioners assured Mr.. Con in their letter that they
would do all in their power 10 prevent such
fraudulent registration. Mr.. Con said that he
had made q private investigation OF the Pa
trolmen's Benevolent Association, and had salts
ned himself that it confined itself TO acts of be-
nevolence and charity, and he therefore asked
that the subpBnAs be dismissed which had been

NEW AUSTRALIAN GOLD FIELDS

The Western Provence of the ISL

pOstts.
In the development of Western Au-
stralia the gold fields seem destined to
play an important part. Gold was dis
covered there by Dampier as far back
as 1858, but according to the New York
Evening Post, 1t was not until about
ten years ago that the precious metal
was found in sufficient quantity to
start the industry in real earnest. To
day it Is known that the gold country
extends over u great area from north
to south. New districts are being
opened up, townships are being laid
out, stores, hotels, churches and banks
are providing for the varied wants of
rapidly increasing populations, settled,
in some instances, on the desert wastes
of only two or three years ago, while

to construct storage tanks at a cost

The Frenchman is clever person,
and never was that cleverness better il
Illustrated than in the story told of
Lespes, the French journalist, better
EIcwn as "Timothce Trimm." One day
willie at work he was disagrecably in
truded on by a creditor, who annOunc-
ed his intention of not departing until
h. was paid. Farley proved useless;
the creditor planted himself on a chair,
and Lespes beheld him, with constcrna-
ton, draw bread and cheese from his
pockets, as though to fortify himself
against events. Several hours glided
by; Lespes had resumed his writing and
finished an article. The creditor showed
no signs of moving, and, from the
glances which he cast at a sofa, was
evidently specializing what kind of a
bed it would make. Suddenly Lespes
rose, and with bits Of newspaper began
carefully blocking all the apertures
which air could come into the room.
He then made preparations for light
ing charcoal fire; but before applying
the match, pasted on the wall just OPP
posite the creditors eyes a paper thus
laconically wOrded: Take notice that
we died of our own will"
What are you doing?" exclaimed the
creditor, quite uneasily.
Your society would render life intol-
cradle, SO we are going to commit sui
eide together" answered Timothee,
TRANQUILITY.
1t is almost needless to say that the
creditor decamped.
