Yesterdays DEVELOPMENTS.

The time Of the Lexow Committee was
mainly occupied yesterday with a his
tory OF the green-goods business that
must have surprised the unsophisticated
Senators from Nyack and Binghamton
and Clyde.
An expert who confesses TO several
sojourns In State prison. and who is a
trained criminal. gave some surprising
statistics, showing the thorough organi-
cation and extensive operation OF the
business as well as it's tempting profits
1t must astonlsh many New Workers
even to learn that fifteen thousand
green-goods circulars are sent out OF the
city daily; that one boss" OF the bust
ness has n capital of hundred thou
sand dollars and keeps ten thousand
dollars OF genuine money always on
hand to show to the victims; that this
persons profits have been occasionally
| as high as eight thousand dollars in a
day, and that the witness himself, as a
steerer" on n 8 per cent. interest
has made, with tips" six hundred dol
lars In one days work. The perfect or
ganiZation of the business is also a
matter OF surprise. 1t has its hacker"
who Is the principal: its WRITERS" who
send out the circulars: its "steerers,"
who meet the customer and conduct him
to the Joint" the decoy, n respectable
old gentleman, who Is always present
In the office. the turner" who shows
the victim the good money; the "ring-
er. who changes the good money pack
age for the sawdust after II has been
put up; the taller" who conducts the
customer to the railroad and puts him
and his purchase on the train.
The witness testified, from belief that
the police are in with the green
goods bosses, and give them and their
employees protection. He declares that
every policemen at the depots and fer
ries knows him and his business, and
when he Is steering" customer he Is
never interfered with The packer" Is
the man who does the business with the
police. but the employees are all told
that they are under protection" The
witness also testified that the green
goods people have friend In the Post
Office to look after their interests
There Is no direct evidence against
the police in this testimony, but n
strong presumption that some of them
arc In the pay of the green-goods men.
In the disordorly house feature of the
investigation yesterday the first rebuff
was experienced by the prosecution in
a witness from the Tenderloin precinct
who has been In business ten years,
and swore she never paid dollar for
police protection and was never asked
for u dollar.
1t Is very desirable that the investl-
CATION should be vigorously pushed. A

A Lexo,v Pull" Is Needed.

To the Editor:
Now that the Lexow Committee are investgat-
ing the Police Department and proving how
rupt It is. would like to call your attention
to the favortism at the very doors Of the Com

taking place. and informed by the policemen
at the entrance that the crowded. and
refused admittauce together with about thirty
others tho same plea. While standing about
ne corridor noticed several men. who after
wards discovered were oflcials in the building,
conduct a number OF men to the door. who were
admitted by the officers request Of the court
officials who conducted them. waile those who
had no influence were denied admittance Al
though not a permanent resident Of this city.
am here often enough to notice the manner In
which politicians running things to suit them
selves regardless Of the public at large. and
simply call your attention to this instance Of
their abuse Of Official power.

Polly Petcler probably never read the
story of the boy who alarmed his rela-

no wolves and at last got eaten up by
the animals because the grown folks

up vast territories unknown to man a few years
ago. not for love OF gain. but undying devotion

The Duchess of York is the name given

prospective Queen of England. This is

sailor hat, because 1t is less severe in

indentation familiar in the Alpine hat,
but differs in having a more graceful
brim, broader in front and on the sides
and well curled there, yet not SO closely
as the Alpine hat. while the back is
quite narrow and rests on the projecting

Drowned Tomatoes.

Now that tomatoes are becoming large
and finer. Drowned tomatoes will be
found very appetlzing. Take large round
tomatoes and halve them, place them,
the skin side down, in n frying-pan in
which very small quantity Of butter
and lard has been previously melted,
sprinkle them with salt and pepper, and
dredge well with -four Place the pan
on the hot part of the fire and let them
brown thoroughly; then stir and brown
again, and so on until they are quite
done. They lose their acidlty and their
flavor is superior to stewed tomatoes.

The Perfume of Flowers.

1t takes half lifetime to learn how to
do anything perfectly. Few know how to
inhale the perfume OF flower. The idea
should be to carture "the fine fugitive
first OF all aroma by the slightest and
most delicate possible inhalation. II you
try to jam your nose down into the
flower you lose the essential altar and
get rank smell of petals or leaves, a
very different thing from the fragrance
secreted by the glands at the base of the
stamens and pistlls.

A Designer and Law-Giver--God

To the Editor
The planetary system OF which this earth forms
n part. has been created by and with design.
Is governed by unerring laws. and where
there is design and law there must also be
designer and law-giver. which is God. Nothing
can come into existence without primary cause;
hence nature has not been able to create itself.
but It must have had some primary cause to
come into existence. This primary cause must
have been before nature existed. 1t 10 God.
Cosmic matter without formation floating in the
universe Ii not nature. not law. not design
possesses no intelligence, and without creator is
dead. The animating spirit OF o creator gives It
life and form. Hence this world must have been
created. Quod erat demonstrandum. s..
