Committee to take up the charges Of
corrupt speculation in Sugar stock after
the Buttz performance.
The appointment Of the Committee
was a blind. The best proof is the fact
that It has done nothing but apply n
daub of whitewash to Senators Hunton
and Kyle, who were honest enough to
promptly o the attempts to bride
them, and needed no committee kalso-

divert the attention Of the public from

The craze for souvenir pillows Is SUI
perseding that Of souvenir spoons. They
are OF all shapes, sizes and materials,
from Bingham to costly brocade, and
they must have a meaning. One young
woman has sofa pillows made from
pieces OF each dress In her wedding
troLsseau. A romantic matron shows
one made from the dress which she wore
on her first meeting with her 'liege
lord;' another of the gown worn when
he asked the all-important question:; a
third from a piece of the wedding dress,
and the sweetest of all from baby's
christening robe.

sAMPsoN's STORY.

a singular story was told yesterday
by Capt. Sampson before the Congress
sional Investigating Committee raised
to Inquire into the Carnegie frauds. II
shows very clearly how necessary was
the investigation.
The frauds are admitted, II they are
not regarded by Capt. Sampson as
serious. But the singular part of the
business is the conclusions the Captain
has reached after his very slight In
v~estigation while sojourning at the Car
negie Club. His opinion Is that the
workmen and superintendent, and es-
pecially General Superintendent Schwab,
are responsible for the frauds, and that
the principles. Carnegie, Frick and the
rest. are entirely innocent and not re-
sponsible. He did not believe that Frick
visited the works once q month.
Innocent Sampson. II he really be-
lieves that n set OF workmen and a few
s~ubordinates, having little or no interest
In the matter. swindled the Government
out Of large sums of money by putting
deficient and often worthless armor In
our war vessels. and made all the ar
engagements and conspiracies for false
and fraudulent tests. he may not be
strong enough TO dcmolish n heavy
temple, but his stupidity Is certainly
powerful enough to pull down upon his
head the rldicule and contempt of the
people.

was that Butts has no money OF his
