VOORHEES,. JONES, AND VEST.

They Deny Before the Investigating Com.
mittee That Favoritism Was Employed.
The Senate sugar trust investigation COM
mittee continued its investigating yesterday,
and examined Senators Voorhees,, Jones, and
Vest. of the Finance Committee, in regard to
the allegations made concerning the efforts
OF the sugar trust to influence legislation.
They made a general denial OF all the
charges made Of the exercise of influence by
the sugar trust, and specifically contrad.cted
the story that Secretary Carlisle had made a
secret visit to the committee and demanded
that the sugar interest be protected because
of the Democratic party's Indebtedness to the
sugar trust.
They agreed that Mr.. Carlisle had neither
made such n visit to the committee, and that
no such demand had been made upon the
committee for the reason given in Mr.. Ed
wards letter or on any other account.
They also denied the report that meeting
had been held by the committee on the Sum-
day before the tariff bill was reported for the
consideration Of the sugar schedule, and said
THAT If the sugar people had been together in
an adjoining room while the committee was
in session at any time they were not cognizant
of the fact.
Senator Vest denied emphatically that he
had informed Joe Hickey OF the progress OF
the committee in considering the sugar
schedule while the bill was in committee.
The committee adjourned over until Thurs
day. The examination Of members OF the
Finance Committee will be resumed at tha
next meeting.

The latter part of the advertisement was
really the point over which most OF the puz-
zling had been done. 1t was difficult thing
to express the peculiar circumstances under
which the farm would have to be disposed of.
In fact. Europa had no right to dispose OF
it at all, except under certain conditions

Brown. her father,
1t read funny, Europa thought, after it
was printed. and she wondered whether any
one would ever care to reply to such a propo-
sition.
Presently letters began to arrive, and
Europa scrutinized them with the precision
of scientific investigator.
There were two which she finally laid
aside as being worth answering, and to each
Of them she sent letter suggesting per-

NEW YORK, May 29 The share speculation to-
day was strong in tone, but was rather dull. the
volume OF business boing lighter than for some
days past Tho holiday tomorrow had possibly
much to do with both the advancing tendency Of
prices and the general inacti ity.
Tho bears, who are constitutionally opposed TO
remaining snort over holiday, were the main
buyers in the market to cover their short con-
tracts and to the short interest Is due the aprre

which fills the speculative mind on the eve OF a
holiday kept some purchasers out OF to-day S

The feature Of the day was the heavy demand

Finally there came to Europa a strange,
wild. irresistible longing to get married.
She scanned the matrimonial columns Of the
papers, subscribed for paper called Cupid's
Wings, and had her name registered in list
of persons open for matrimonial offers.
But there seemed something fatuous about
the thing, for week after week passed and
Europa did not get SO much as an answer to
any OF her communications or a reply to any
of her advertisements.
She was on the verge OF going to fortune
teller in order to learn if she were destined
forever to remain single, when brilliant idea
occurred to her.
So important was the idea that it took quite
an amount of study to evolve it into practical
shape. There was an advertisement con-
nected with it, and every one knows how
difficult it is to express just what is desired
in an advertisement.
Finally, after considerable amount of
stationery had been spoiled. Europa was sat-

and for that purpose put in an appearance
one day before Europa had chance to get
her hair out OF the curl papers.
He was rather young looking man and
had the appearance of being a person Of COM
mon sense.
A woman is very keen at making an inven-
tory of mans character, and by the time
they got round to the farm Europa had sized
her customer up about as accurately as could
have been done.
Sentiment don't amount to the weight Of
feather in the mans dealings" she decided
when she asked him il he had any intention
OF getting married.
He replied that 1t would be necessary to
have some one to milk the cows and ser
want might steal the milk; anyway, it was
necessary to have woman around the farm,
and a wife was the cheapest
Finally, after he had examined everything,
