INVESTIGATING JUDGE RICKs.
III House sub Commistes At Work ~
Cleveland

Cleveland
Cleveland. O., Nov. 26-The House
subcommittee on Judiciary appointed
to investigate the charge brought by
the Central Labor Union against Unit
ed States Judge Augustus j. Kicks be
gan its inquiry in the federal building
here to-day.
The subcommittee consists OF Rep
resentatives Joseph W. Bailey of Tex
as, chairman; Hon. Edward Lane Of
Illinois, and the Hon. Case Broderick
of Kansas.
The Central Labor Union was repre-
sented before the committee by the
Hon. Arnold Greene. while Judge Kicks
was represented by Hon. Virgil p.
Cline, Judge 5. E. Williamson, Judge
Sanders and Mr.. Andrew Squire. The
charge made by the Central Labor
Union against Judge Kicks Is, in brief.
that while acting in the capacity OF
special examiner In some forty patent
cases. he failed to turn over about
81 500 in fees belonging to the govern
ment 1t Is alleged that after Kicks
was appointed United States judge, he
approved his own accounts as special
examiner in these cases
The session was opened by Hon Ar
mold Greene for the prosecution. who
read the charge made by the labor
union Hon Virgil T. Kline replied
for the defendant at length. He stated
that Judge Riciis had In 1873 made a
full report OF the matter at issue and
had received assurances from the De
partment Of Justice that his statements
We're satisfactory and his accounts
correct. Hon. Arnold Greene for the
prosecution. admitted that Judge Kicks
had rendered his report as stated. but
that he did not do so until ten years
after the fees had been collected He
charged that Judge Kicks had only
made his corrected report and remitted
the fees at that late time to avoid any
possible scandal He said that Judge
Ricks had received Information In 1875
warning him that the matter would be
investigated. and that his supplemental
report was made under this pressure
to cover any discrepancies which might
exist

ECONOMY IN HIGH SPEED.
Cheaper Production of Cotton
From Modern >ptndies-

Cheaper Production of Cotton Yarn
From Modern spindIes
Apropos of the economy in fuel
claimed for certain engines used in
cotton manufacturing Frank p. Shell
don of Providence, recently stated in
the Manufacturing Gazette that the
cost of power is one OF the least i'm
portant items in the cost of production
in this industry. Labor naturally
ranks first, but next after that comes
Supplies hold the third place and
power the fourth. He was thus led to
point out that an increase in the prod
uct in a given time is of more vital
consequence than q saving in fuel.
OF course the latter is desirable. but
it is not to be sought at the sacrifice
of the former Mr. Sheldon's chief
deduction from this principle
was that high speed machinery.
especially in the spinning de-
partment OF cotton mill, is in the
highest degree desirable. Comparing
mules and frames OF the old style. the
spindles on which make about 1900
revolutions a minute, with modern
machines giving 5000. he said the
cost for power was from one to seven
ty per cent more. and yet there was q
net saving on the production of from
ten to thirteen per cent. In view OF
the cost of labor, the payment Of in
terest, and the allowance for depreciar
ton he said no mill could now afford
to accept as gift modern steam
plant, if it were used to run the slower
spindles. Even If the item for depre-
citation with high speed be greater
than with the old-style mule frame,
there would still be an ample margin.

An omoial I,nrrntnry.

Messrs. Allen and Sachtleben, who
made bicycle tour around the world,
describe their journey from Samarkand
TO Kulja in The Century. OF one city
on their route they say:
Tashkent has long been known as a
refuge for damaged regulations and
shattered fortunes, or "the official pur-
gatory following upon the emperor dis
pleasure. " One OF the finest houses of
the city is occupied by the Grand Duke
Nicholsi Constantinovitch Romanon,
son of the late general admiral Of tho
Russian navy and first cousin 10 the c2ar
who seems to be cheerfully resigned to
his life in exile. Most of his time is oc'
cupied with the business of his silk fac
tory ON the outskirts of Tashkent and
nt his farm near Hodjent, which GER
tain firm in Chicago at the time of our
bojourn was stocking with irrigatiDg
machinery All of his bills are paid
with checks drawn on his 81. Peters
burg trustees. His private life is rather
unconventional and even democratic.
Visitors 60 his household are particular
ly impressed with the beauty Of his wife
and tho si1o Of his liquor glasses.
The example OF the grand duke illus
trates the sentiment in favor Of indus
trial pursuits which is growing among
the military classes, and even among
the nobility of Russia The government
itself, thanks Co the severe lesson of the
Crimean war, has learned that great
nation must stand upon foundation of
something more than aristocrGcy and
nobility. To this influence is largely
due the present growing prosperity of
Tashkent. which, in military impor-
tance, is rapidly giving away to Asl<a.

She Pounded q Cartridge.

A woman OF Cafrolton, KY, thought
that she would be able to stop leak in
the bottom of an iron pot by driving n
piece of lead into it, So she got one of
her husbands pistol cartridges out of n
drawer and began the driving process
with q hammer. Now, tho good lady
didn't understand the philosophy of a
cartridge aud never dreamed that il
would explode from the concussion Of a
hammer, seeing no powder about the
thing. But there is no knowledge as
that which comes from experience, al
though the price paid in that way is
sometimes very high. This cartridge
exploded, and the flesh of the thumb
and finger with which she held il was
considerably torn. And that old pot
still leaks as it did before louisville

GUESTS ROBBERS
Hotel Keepers Complain OF the Continual
Theft Of Small Articles.

Hotel Keepers Complain Of the Continual
Theft Of Small Articles.
1t is fact we'll known to every hotel
and restaurant keeper In the city that
people will steal. Why they resort to
peculation is mystery. but far great
er mystery seems to be wrapped mp In
the GLASS of articles that ara stolen.
Guests who stop at first class hotels
nnd pay their bills in departing have
been known scorss of times to take with
them toilet soap and towels from their
rooms. Blankets. sheets. clocks and or
naments likewise disappear with the
departing transients.
Nor does the peoulation stop at this
Cheap plated trays, cutlery, forks and
spoons plainly marked with the names
of the hotels are stolen again and again.
This seems strange, for IL the articles
ure used by the thief they bear, of
course, the indelible evidence Of the
guilt of the peculators
Sometimes the stolen articles are re-
covered, and sometimes they are not.
Only recently the proprietor OF local
hotel advertised repeatedly and offered
large reward for tho return of valu-
able clock of large size, which had been
taken from the hotel and in manner
never discovered. All the advertising
was in vain.
The late John Hoey once succeeded
by a shrewdly worded letter in recover
ing valuable rug which well known
New York woman had taken with her.
As soon as it's absence was noted from
the Hollywood Mr.. Hoey caused to be
written to the woman letter which
read Substantially az follows:
DEAR MADAM - In packing your
clothing your maid by mistake included
the Turkish rug which was in your
room. Kindly nave it returned.
The woman had no maid, which fact
was we'll known to herself and to Mr..
Hoey. The assumption that the theft
was not hers accorded her an opportuni-
ty 20 return the stolen article, which
she did at the earliest possible moment,

densed to the name of single gentle
man wearing u suit Of Confederate gray,
who fills every position on tho line from

say with seeming satisfaction 10 himself.
In his capacity Of driver he was told
that would like to 20 down to the
junction at q certain time
''In his capacity as superintendent /
was introduced TO him, and assuming
the authority of his highest position he
advised me that he would wait for me
near certain corner. Twas watching
for him, and about 10 minutes before the
appointed time the car stopped on the
corner designated. The driver set the
brake, but it was tho big hearted super
intendent who got down TO play with
the children by the roadside until /
should arrive. He greeted me cordially,
and we started, with the mule in cam
ter.
"A man hailed the car from house q
little farther on, and we came TO a stop.
There was short conversation in loud
tones. Then the driver carefully wound
the lines around the brake and went in
TO the house. In about five minutes he
rcappearcd, with trunk on his shoul-
der, having probably stopped TO tie a
rope around it inside tho house. This
trunk he deposited on the front plat
form, and we were again going as fast
as the mule could travel.

was again transformed TO the superin-
tendent as he shook hands with me and
