A Striking Delivery Wagon.

In ferner years an ord mary spring wagon,
with the merchants name simply printed upon
it in black or white paint, would suffice for his
delivery service Nowadays the most elaborate
vehicle that can eminate from skilled labor, tae
best material and the best paint Is none too
good Tor the progressive merchant Among the
most unique and at the same time elegant OF
these modern delivery wagons i5 that OF +. h
Wilson, the F-street shoe man Mr.. Wilson had
his wagon made to order, and the painting was
done by II. Smith, of the Hyland Paint shop.
No money has been spared 10 make this a shin
ing advertisements for the house and Mr.. Wilson
could have bought eight ordinary wagons for the
price of the one. The example is q good one,
and should be followed by other leading meT-
chants, some OF whose delivery wagons are very
poor advertisements.

HIS HONOR HAD DOUBTS.
Charge of Profanity Against Saloonkeeper
Wells Was Therefore Dismissed.


Wells Was Therefore Dismissed.
The charge of profanity preferred against
William L. Wells, the South Washington sa-
loonkeeper, by Policemen Bruce and Klinger
was dismissed by Judge Kimball yesterday
afternoon. The trial throughout was spicy
and at times exciting.
Policemen KIinger and Bruce detailed at
length how they had been shadowed over
their beat in Bloodfeld by parties who were
evidently trying TO get them in trouble. They
also described how they in turn had shad-
owed Wells saloon, the former headquarters
OF the Fat Mems Beneficial Association. on
the night OF November Il. as they had reason
TO believe that Wells was the instigator of the
plot TO overthrow them. The policemen re-
peated il court string of profanity which
they alleged Wells mad used on the above
night, not knowing that they were concealed
il an adjoining alley.
Mrs. Clementine Bridwell. who was in con-
yersation with Wells at the time of his arrest
and when the alleged profanity was used, de-
MED the policemens' statements in the most
emphatic manner. Mr.. Wells also made q
sweeping denial of the charge against him.
Prosecutor Pugh said there was clear-cut
perjury on one side or the other. and Judge
kimball agreed with him.
y
Attorney Walker for the defense, said he in
tended to prove that Ossie KlinGer was de-
serter from tho Marine Corps and had swore
falsely in giving his age as over twenty-one
years OF age while enlisting at the Mare
Island (Cal.) navy yard. In order 10 prove
this he called to the witness stand Com
mande4 Haywood, of the Marine Corps who
produced Ringers enlistment papers, show
ing that the false entries. according to the
policeman's own admission, had been sworn
to by him. Commander Haywood also
characterized as false the statement of
Klinger that he had been induced by marine
officials TO place his age at twenty-one years
and eleven months, when he was not then
twenty.
In disposing of the case the court referred
to the ill-feeiing existing on the part Of the
officers for being watched, and on Wells side,
because he had been prosecuted on a former
occasion. officer Klinger had been shown to
have committed perjury. This left very
grave doubt in his honor's mind, and he gave
the defendant the benefit of it,
Policeman Klinger stated after the trial that
the Revised Statutes, containing the form of
oaths of the officers and enlisted men of the
Marine Corps, do not require statement of
the age of the person to be enlisted.

WASHINGTON, April THE House
bill to extend the time for tho St. Louis
and Birmingham Railroad Company to
build bridge across the Tennessee
river at Clifton, Tenn was passed with.
out substitute.
lioar called the attention of the Sen.
ate to q cablegram in the mornings
papers as to seal fishing in Boring sea,
and with the heading, "Ships Not Re-
ceiving Notice Not Liable" and asked
Morgan, chairman Of the committee on
foreign relations, for inform alton on the
subject.
Hoar remarked that if that paragraph
were correct recital theN any scaling
vessel, which should sail before the
passage OF the British act OF parliament,
might easily evadG the provieions Of the
award during lris season, and probably
hundreds Of thousands OF seals would be
destroyed. 1t seemed to him thas it was
pure evasion of the treaty and the
award 10 allow Canadian sealers to be
protected by simply saying they did not
know its provisions. 1t seemed to him
that some supplemental legislation was
necessary by which the matter could be
taken into the hands of the United
States Government.
Mr.. Morgan admitted that Hoar was
quite righs in the estimate Of the dan.
ger to the Alaska seal hoarGs from the
attitude which appeared to have been
taken by the British government. He
was Informed by the newspapers land
he thought there WAS some official in

Canadian sesiers had QUILTED frcm
Vancouver or Victoria and some Amer

by tho British parliament
That view Of the subject had never
been admitted by the American arbi-
traitors, nor did he understand thst 1t
had ever boon insisted upon by more
than vne Of the arbitraJors COMPOSING

American arbitratOrs was and had been
that tho award went into full effect
from the moment OF its delivery in re-
gard to the prohibition against pelagic
hunting within certain defined areas.
1t becomes necessary now, Morgan
continued, that the United States Gov
eminent should define in /. measure of
legislation Whist its attitude was in re.
gard to the enforcement Of the award
That attitude had been represep tod fully
and correctly in the act which had Just
