- have just walked from the Riggs
House to this hotel, = said Thomas Croft
ton Of New York at the National, esand
have only been approached BY one
tramp-a poor, Wretched, shiyering

a philanthropist, I don't care whether he
used it for the purpose Of lodging and
food or bought some Of the heeting pleas
ure that a few drinks Of whisky brings.
Tonight you cannot pass a yard on
Broadway without being importuned by
beggar. Do you know that the great
est professional mendicant in the metrop-
oils was created through accident? He
formerly had position as bookzeeper in
some mercantile establishment, paying
SIS a month. One night he found him
self way down town, far from his home
in Harlem, without a cent Of car fare. In
changing his clothes he had neglected
to bring his purse along. Without any
hesitation he approached gentleman
and explained his situation. The book
keeper was entirely respectable and had
none OF the earmarks Of a practiced
beggar, which, indeed, he was not. He
got the car fare without difficulty. That
one incident set him thinking and de-
veloped the latent streak of Incidence
he possessed. Every Sunday when he
was"not engaged balancing accounts the
bookkeeper tried the scheme to test it's
ability as money maker.
"The result was astonishingly suo-
cessful. Here was a man, well dressed,
apparently respectable, placed in po-
sltion that in many cases had been the
situation Of the very men he asked for
the loan Of a nickel. a great majority
of them obliged him The sequel is
short. He threw up his position and be-
came a hypocrite and fraud. He has ao-
tually gotten dimes from detectives and
policemen before they discovered his
game. A central Office man told me- that
the fellow has collected some days 5000.
At any ratio, he is making money enough
to build several houses and has an in
come much greater than that Of his
honest days. He has been arrested sever
al times. Upon one occasion they found
on him a great quantity of small
change and in an inside pocket great
roll Of bank notes. He is one of the
characters that only large CITY can
make possible. ''-Washington News

AN OLD TIMERS VICTORY.

Ex-senator Sawyer Achieves u Notable
Success In the Wisconsin Republican Con-
vention--McKinIeyK Resolutions Adopted
MILWAUKEE, Wis, March 19.-EX-
Senator Philetus Sawyer won out IN
the republican state convention yester-
day, and his victory demonstrated
that, Notwithstanding he has nearly
rounded his eightieth year, he is still q
master of the art of political manipu-
lation. Against big odds the venerable
statesman was pitted with e%-Gov.
Hoard, the recognized leader of the
younger element Of the republican
party in the state, for the honor OF
heading the delegates-nt-large to st.
Louis. His supporters are enthusiastic
over the outcome and insist that the
victory makes him the logical candi
date of the party to return to the Uni
ted States senate as the successor OF
Mr.. Villas.
The remaining significant feature ot
the convention was the voting Of Nc
IIinley instructions, despite the actor
OF the committee on resolutions decid
ing to remain silent upon this point
1t was the largest convention Of th'
party in the history of the state, an(
the platform was one of the shortes
on record. There were no reference
to state issues and no eulogy of Gov
Upham and The present republican ad
ministration

THEY MUST TESTIFY.

United States Supreme Court Renders an
Important Decision Relative to Wit
nesses in Interstate Commerce Cases
WASHINGTON, March 94. = The su"
preuae court of the United States yes
terday decided that witnesses must tes-
tify in interstate commerce cases or go
to Jail for contempt of court, Inc oe-
cision was made in the case OF Brown
VS.. Walker, appealed from the circuit
court for the Western district of Penn
sylvania, involving the validity and
force of the amendment to the inter-
state commerce law intended to make
effective the provision forbidding the
sc cret and illegal ganting OF rebates to
favored shippers by railroad officials
1t was impossible under the decision IN
the oek-Counselman case to sue
cessfully prosecute case, because the
only parties to the transaction who
could testify could claim the copstitu-
tional privilege of refusing to give evl'
dence on the ground that it would tend
to incriminate themselves. To remedy
this situation the amendment in cues
ton was made, providing that no per-
son who testified as to any such trans
action should be prosecuted for his part
in it.
Under this provision Theodore f.
Brown, auditor of the Allegheny Val
ley Railroad Co., was called to testify
in case of alleged illegal rebate be-
fore the United States district court
for the Western district of Pennsylva-
nia. He declined to testify on the con-
stitutional ground, but the court held
that under the new law he was re-
quired to give his evidence, notwith'
standing the constitutional provision.
Declining still to testify, the witness
was committed to the custody OF the
marshal for contempt OF court. There
upon he sued out writ of habeas cor.
pus in the circuit court and his release
was refused He then appealed to the
supreme court Of the United States.
The opinion discussed the operation
of the law and decisions bearing upor
the statute in question both in England
and in this country. The conclusion
of the court was that while the consti
tutional provision was one of the most
valuable safeguards of the citizen, th'
statutory protection fully conforms t.
its requirements and that the witnes
in the case ut bar must testify. Th
Judgment OF the circuit court was at
Q flrmed. Justices Field, Gray, Shira
and White dissented.

Spaniards AcknOw ,euge Getting the Worst
of an Important Fight


HAVANA, March 10.--News has been
received here of an important battle
which was fought on Monday in tho
vicinity of Candelara, in the province
of Pinar Del Rio. The Spanish forces
were commanded by Gen. Linares and
Coils. Inclan and Hernandez, the rebels
by Maceo and Bandera, The fight was
begun on a line parallel with the road
way. The Spanish forces deployed the
Tarifa battalion, section of the Vic
toria cavalry and detachment OF ar
tillery forming the vanguard, and
opened fire upon the enemy. The reb-
els returned this fire and attacked the
rear guard of the Spaniards, complete
ly encircling their column. Having en-
tirely surrounded the government
troops, the insurgents advanced upon
tie artillerymen with machetes. The
latter made vigorous resistance, using
muskets and grenades with such effect
as to check for time the enemy's ad
vance, but second charge was made
by the insurgents and hand-to-hano
engagement ensued
After hot fight lasting two hours
the Spaniards were defeated, The otri
cial report of the fight says the insur
gents suffered great loss. The Span
iurds lost two captuins and five pri
Yates killed and one lieutenant, fou
sergeantS and "a soldiers wounded.

Gov, Morton Signs the Raiucs FiIl-What
II Is Expected to Accomplish.
ALBANY, \. Y, March 2E-Gov. Nor
ton yesterday signed the Raines liquor
tax bill. The bill, which was violently
opposed by the liquor interests, is de-
signed to bring about radical reform
OF the excise laws. 1t does away with
excise boards in cities and towns and
gives the power to grant and revoke
licenses to single board under state
control 1t is expected that the new
law will enormously reduce the num-
ber of saloons, will bring clubs under
a uniform license system and will pro-
teet churches and school houses. II
will also aid Sunday enforcement, as
blinds will be kept up and the bill pro
vides for the forfeiture of licenses
Free lunches are also prohibited.
The principal argument against the
bill was that the poorer class of saloon
keepers, chiefly those that sold only
beer, would be forced out Of business
by the high license fee which the bill
provides for, and that the measure was
therefore, class legislation.

PHILADELPHIA, March 24.-The six
story brick and brown stone building
at 1924 and 1926 Chestnut street was
badly gutted by fire last evening. The
building was mainly occupied by the
Thackara Manufacturing Co., manu-
facturers of and retail dealers in gas
and electric fixtures. Besides the
Thackara company, the building was
occupied by the offices of two archi-
tects. The fire started in the cellar
from some unknown cause and made
fierce headway before the tiremen got
to work.
When the fire started $50 people were
at work in the rooms of the ThaclIara
company on the upper floors, but all
got out in safety. After two hours
hard work the fire was under control.
The Thackara company's loss is about
$3.50, 900, with insurance of SS7, ,0OO The
building is owned by William Wright

extent OF SlO0, 600; fully insured.
