In this country, too, is found the best
musk IN the world, and 1 will tie you how
it is produced. There exists in that region
a kind of a wild animal like a gaZelle. 1t
has feet and tail like a gaZeile's and
stae's hair of very coarse kind, but no
horns 1t has four tusks, two below and
two above, about three inches long and
slender in form, one pair growing upward
and the other downward. 1t is very
pretty creature. The musk is found in
this way: When the creature has been
taken they lind between the flesh and the
skin something like an impostume full of
blood, which they cut out and remove
with all the skin attached to it. And the
blood inside this postume is the musk that
produces the wonderful perfume. There
is an immense numbe of these beasts in

as big as ours-indeed, nearly as big as a
peacock-and having tails of seven 10 ten

pheasants in aspect like our own, and
birds of many other kinds and OF beauti-
full variegated plumage. The people, VIII

hairs on the upper lip. The women, too,
have very smooth and white skins, and in

HIS BOOKS ARE
BEING EXPERTED
Police Court Clerk Sullivan
Is Once More in
Trouble.
Judge Low for the Second Time
Takes Action Against
Him
Discovery Msde of an Alleged Short.
age in Bail Money Deposited
With the Treasurer.

For some months the relations between
Judge Low and Tim r. Sullivan, the
clerk of his court, have been strained, and
the fact that the clerk had not been at his
accustomed post since last Wednesd ay,
although represented by substitute, has
brought matters to crisis.
Sullivan's books were by order of the
Judge yesterday morning handed over to
Cyril Williams, the official expert, for ex-
animation. Toe Judge also waited upon
Chief Crowley and asked him to take
action against Sullivan, but the Chief de-
clined to accept the responsibility until it
could be clearly proved that there were
good and sufficient reasons for doing so.
The present trouble regardin the ex-
porting of the books has been caused by
the discovery made by Attorney Joseph
Coffev yesterday that $120 bail money de-
posted by him with Clerk Sullivan on
September % in the cases of All Cong,
Tom Yum and All Mon, charged with Wis
iting faro game, had been withdrawn
from the Treasurer by an order OF Sulli-
van in favor of Frank II. Mead on Deem
Der IL.
In speaking of the matter the Judge
said: II have given orders to several peo-
Pile for bail money and they have come
from the Treasurer's office with the infor-
nation that there was no money there for
them. |, of course, have no wish to inter-
fere IN the private affairs of the clerk, but
it is my duty to see that the business of
the court is carried on lawfully, and when
this state of facts became known to me
could only perform my duty and demand
an investigation. When Mr.. Sulllvan's
accounts were called in question before
the matter was taken to Captain Lees,
Sullivan's friends resented that course
and asked why the attention of the
City's expert had not been called to the
alleged shortage. In this instance ! have
done that very thing and the responsible
ity must fall where it properly belongs"
On the previous occasion referred to by
the Judge Captain Lees s1nt Detective
Seymour after Sullivan. He found him
attending to his duties in the court, and
told him that the captain wished to see
him. Sullivan was surprised at the
charge that his accounts were short, and
demanded a full investigation. He had
been sick for some weeks previous, and
substitute had taken his place.
The investigation was made, and 1t was
found that instead of Sulllvan's accounts
being short there was about 5000 to his
credit with the Treasurer. The explana-
ton given was that he had been in the
habit of paying bail money out of his pri-
vate funds and drawing it from the Treas
urer in a lump sum at the end of each
month.
1t was the knowledge of the result of
the previous investigation that deter
mined Chief Crowley not to interfere in
the matter when requested to do so by
the Jud e until the report of the expert
shall be made.

THE LAUGH ON THE JURY.
of Maskey, Foreman of the Pre-
ceding Grand Jury.

The laugh is not on the County Clerks
office this time. Now the broad smile is
at the expense of the Grand Jury. Yes
terday 1t transpired that an important
court documents paper no less cele-
Jury of which Frank Maskey was fore.
man-had been missing from the archives
of the court for several weeks.
This precious document was found on
the stairway leading to the Produce Ex-
chance on November q last, and the
finder, noting the signature of Frank
Maskey, sent it to the Iatters place oil
business, on KearnY street. Mr.. Maskey
was not in the store when the messenger
boy delivered the document, but it was
duly received, according to Endorsement,
by Tessie, one of the young ladies of the
esta blishment.
OF course, Mr.. Maskey was not pleased
when he ascertained that the report on
which Frank McLennan, Theodore Payne,
Alpheus Bull Jr. and others of his asso-
ciates had passed anxious days and sleep
less nights had been kicked about on the
stairs of a grain exchange, but he put it
in MS safe, however, resolving to make
another attempt to lodge it in the archives
of justice. Time went along, the days
glIded by and the report reposed in the
safe. Meanwhile it leaked out that rare
document which ought to be sacredly
guarded by the County Clerk was not in
Mr.. Curry's possession.
The CALL received an intimstion that
Mr.. Curry could not produce this paper,
and so reporter was directed to wait on
Chief Clerk Harry Piper and solicit the
privlege of inspecting it. Mr.. Piper lis
tened respectfully to the request, and
without shedding feather opened a
drawer in his desk and produced half
sheet of an old newspaper which pur-
ported to contain copy of the aforesaid
Grand Jury report. The scribe wanted to
see the original report with the signature
of Mr.. Maskey and the record of filing at
tached. Mr.. Piper said he could not pro-
duce that document but he allowed the
reporter to read letter accounting for
the absence OF the paper so much dis
cussed Here is the letter:

tinued. II am heartily IN favor of the
plan, and would do all in my power to
further it. Indeed, it is a matter of
wonder with me that the poet has been
so long neglected on this coast.
Burns has afforded the world more en-
tertainment in his Tam o. Shanter' than
any other one man that 1 know of in all
other works. 1 saw the inn and sat down
at the same table where Tam and the
others sat and made merry. crossed the

Yes, Burns should have a monument
here, and it is a good plan to gather to-
getber the Burns monum en- ts-pictures of

to the poet in Scotland. That at his burial
place is not pretentious. Burns is not SIM

whole world. | am certain that there will
be quick and generous response to the
call for aid for the building OF a monument
to him. For one, l am heartily in favor
of it."
D. R. Mcneil, chief ranger of the Gale

have no fear about the ultimate success
of the undertaking. | am in full accord
with Colin NJ. Boyd's view as expressed
in to-day's CALL as TO the care and eau
ton with which the undertaking should
be started.
"a committee of thoroughly represen-
iative men will have to be put in charge
of the work by the club and the commit
tee equipped with'full power to go on with
it to The end. By that mean that the
committee should be made permanent
and given full charge of the work. The
club would then hold the ommittee re-
sponsible. In that way we would secure
the great st expedition, through the COM
mittee being untrammeled, and the best
results through having concentrated upon
it the best intelligence at our command.
The monument will be the topic of inter-
est at the meeting of the CaIedonians in
January"
II would of course do my share in the
matter of the Burns monument" said
Hugh Craig yesterday.
