1t appears that there is a very strong senti-
ment in the Senate against nominations which
are interpreted to come only from political

from Paris this morning. From DR..
Alvis it is learned that up to the time
he left, there had been about dozen
witnesses examined for the govern
ment, leaving about 140 more to testi-
fy. The three defendants are being
tried jointly, hence conviction OF
one means the conviction of each
The general opinion now is that the
verdict will be guilty, though it can
not be surmised as to the line OF
defense. The evidence so far is very
damaging to the defendants. Both
,ides of the case are ably represented

'igorously contested. 1t is thought

had TO CLIMB A TREE.

The Pastor Made the woodOhuok Do
An Unusual Thug.
Men who have hunted woodchuclss
know that they never climb trees.
That is, it is not their nature to do
So and no one familiar with their
habits would believe that one
ever did unless he saw it himself. The
pastor of little Baptist cnurcn In
Kentucky knew this characteristic Of
the animal, and on il basel a story.
The congregation was in debt $40O for
its new church, and one Sunday was
set for making al appeal for subsorip-
tions- In the course OF his exhort=-
tiou that the members of his flock be
liberal, the minister said:
This congregation is like a wood
chuck mln once told me about He
was hunting the woodcbuck with
dogs, he said, and they ptessed it SO
closely that it finally climbed tree.
"'But, said to my friend, wood
chucks can't climb trees, and you
know it.
"'This woodchuck had to climb a
tree replied my friend, and that's
the way it is with this congregation.
You say you can't raise S4OO, but
you've got to do it."
The congregation saw the point, and
$3.50 was raised on the spot and the
rest was secured that week.
