clerk in that hotel how did the guests of the
hotel obtain entertainment in respectsof in
toxicating beverages, il they did, and if you
know! A. could not say positively that

the drug store; they would go to any drug
store they wished, sometimes boy would
go to La Fountaine's or Sterns', according to
his choice.
@. What was the process by which those

on an errand.
@. But generally he made known to you
where he was going? A. Yes. generally.

stead Of party? A. mean some particu-
lar,person; he was travelling man.
@. Do you recall hts names A. / think it
was George B. Smith; he sold clothing. He
was very noisy at times.
@. Now, in the dining room when you
acted as head waiter, what was the process
by which payment for Intoxicating liquors

at the table, cannot say that 1 had any
knowledge of that, but as to bottle of wine

they would pay for it before and bring the

charged to them.
@. Did parties, with several in the party,
occasionally meet there for card playing for
several hours when this sort of entertain
ment was furnished to them from time to
timex A. Yes, sir.
Q. And how frequently did that happen !;
| do not suppose that you can tell how many
times week or month? A. could not tell
ANYTHING about how many times, some even
ings, and especially Sunday evening, good
many commercial travellers would come to-
gether, or perhaps through the week or Sum
day afternoon; 1t may occur perhaps none
in week. and then it would be three or
four or five parties in week and perhaps
like that, but as to how many l could not
say.
O. And would the entertainment for such
parties be repeated during the evening, that
is, would they require entertainment from
hour to hour as the evening went along !.
A. What do you mean, reciprocate back, one
another in drinks and such as that?
q. Yes, would the parties have to be
served several times? A. Yes, sir, it would
not be very long at time when they would
order-it would not be very long between

count of her meeting Mrs. Samuel
Campbell, better known as Cora Belle
Fellows. who married Chaska, a Sioux
Indian. while a teacher on the reserval
ton a few years ago. The affair caused
a sensation. Miss Fellows being a Wash
ington city belle n highly connected
and educated. Following the marriage
the pair were on exhibition In various
dime museums. and in that way ac-
cumulated quite a fortune. On their
last visit here Chaska and his wife wore
fine clothes. brilliant diamonds and
handsome jewelry. All these. together
with the money and Chaska himself
have gone. and the former belle OF
Washington society now Ives near Car
thage, Mo-, a deserted and destitute
upon her for care and support. In her
letter Mrs. Cannon says:
"a few days since my attention was
called to n widow in destitute circum-
stances. l filled a basket with bread,
meat, coffee, sugar. cookies, etc, n
father took a small sack of apples, and
we two went to see her. She was indeed
destitute not only of food, but Of cloth
ing and house furniture. The
was careworn and sickly looking. l
soon discovered that she was educated
and refined. and evidently had seen bet4
ter and happier days. During u con-
~ fiI,, IL ., Dlt1a,.o., 49,, ;~t~ <La
room, two boys and one girl; the Oldest,
a boy, was about Z ears old, n
showed very plainly hat Indian blood
coursed in his veins; the girl and youn-
ger boy We're less Indian marked, but
the traces were quite noticeable. The
woman told me they We're her children.
but did not say their father was an In
liz nor that he was dead. but re4
marked that the girl was quite small
when she lost him." The mother said
she was at one time a teacher at the
Rosebud Indian agency n at Santee:
hat before going there she lived in
Washington city, and a married
against the wishes of her people. !
afterward learned that her husband de-
serted her and married q quaw. She
now has no knowledge of his where

work, but tries to do washing or other
labor for the support of her children.
She is capable of teaching, but an get
no employment in that line. The Aid
society of the Methodist church has aid.
ed her very much, and Is now raising
money to send her and her children to
Nebraska, where she has friends who
will look after her. She is anxious the
public should forget her and her mar.

ITALY IN AFRICA.

Chamber of Deputies Endorses h
Course of the Government.
Rome, May 1.-THE chamber of depu-
ties Saturday by a vote OF PTS to 1873
passed a vote of confidence in the gov
srnment. The chamber afterward voted
favorably upon the matter Of supple
menting credits for Africa. The Mar
quis di Rudini. h premier, in a speech
in the chamber Saturday, Endorsed the
declaration OF General Ricotti. the min
lister of war, and the duke Of Serman-
eta, minister Of foreign affairs. He
stated hat General Baratieri must be
tried before a military tribunal. and
deprecated the charges made In the
chamber against the Crispi cabinet as
being likely to prolong party strife. He
said that the publications In the green
books relative to Africa had rendered
an inquiry unnecessary. The Italian
blood already shed, he urged, rendered
evacuation impossible. He asserted.
however, that he would not accept any
motion in favor of expansion Of 1taly's
sphere Of action in Africa. He opposed
the occupation of Adigrat. The Adowa
line. as a boundary, he regards as inev-
ltably leading to a prolonged war. In
conclusion, ne explained that II the Ital-
a troops did not proceed beyond the
March and Beosa line all cause for con-
nict between Italy and the Abyssinian
king, Menelek, would be removed.
