The Cook Was the Thief.

Some weeks ago the GRAPHIC pub lished an account of a bold burglary which had been committed at the residence of MT. w. J. Galbraith, during the absence of the family.
 When the lady of the house re- turned home, her cook, a negro woman named Matilda Haskell, in formed her that during the after noon she saw a white man with a small satchel in his hand walk to the front door of the house, take a key from his pocket, unlock the door and walk ia. The woman said the man remained in the house about fifteen minutes, and then walked out the front gate, down the street and disappeared. An investigation was made and it was discovered that a purse containing $3 and several articles of value had been stolen. The cook gave a description of the man she said she saw enter the house, but the officers could never find him. A short time after the reported robbery the cook was dis charged, but again found employ ment as cook at the home of MT. J. M. Mccain Yesterday the Haskell woman was seen with several arti- cles of wearing apparel that had been stolen from the Galbraith resi- dence. Chef Stewart was notified of the fact and this morning he ar rested the woman, searched her house and found all the stolen arti- cles, except the money. The cook was the thief, and endeavored to palm off her crime on mythical tramp. She is now in jail, and will, doubtless, finally land in the penl- tentiary as warning to others of ber class

up with fear that this usual extra payment is not going to be allowed. They fear that President Cleveland will veto it no matter what bill it may be attaced to. Consequently there is much sorrow in this especial official coterie.
 Admiral Bunce was sent to Charles ton, $. c. for the purpose of carrying on mock blockade, one portion of the fleet going into the harbor and the remainder stationed on the out side to prevent those within from running the blockade. It has been very easy for the Dolphin and one or two others to pass the ships to run the blockade at pleasure, whereupon Admiral Bunce is much disgruntled.
 Congress is attempting to pass a law prohibiting ticket scalping. How well they may succeed is problemat- ical, as the ticket scalper is ap- parently like one ofthose plants that when once rooted, it is going ostay.

 While Hon. s. r. Hilz helm, travel ing freight agent far the Cotton Belt, was here a few days ago he stated that if the people of this section would raise Irish potatoes in suffici- ent quantities that special freight rates would be arranged. and that if desired, he would send a buyer to this sec ton. Would it not be well for the farmers of this vicinity to meet and discuss the feasibility of this matter? We made but little cotton last year and received com paratively nothing for what we did raise, and unless we plant potatoes, or something of the kind, money will be extremely scarce until the next cotton crop is sold, and then if it does not bring better price than We are now led to believe it will. Two or three acres in potatoes, should, with a favorable season, pay better than ten acres in cotton with half the amount of work. The DO. tato crop will bring money into the country when it is most needed. Lets meet and agree to plant few acres each.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP, SENATOR VEST ATTACKS sEC-
 RETARY MORTON. Secretary of Agriculture Roasted Because He Curtailed the Quan- tity of Seed Issued to Sem
 ators and Congressman.
special Correspondence.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-The comic al incident of the week is the pretend ed scare of Queen Lii, of Hawaii. One of the young cannibals she has with her here, MT. Palmer, says that he has received 0 letter from some one unknown. threatening the ex- Queen's life. Whereupon Mir. Palmer and his co-helper, with the euphoni- ous name of Mir. Halleluiah, also a reformed cannibal from the Hawaiian Islands, have taken measures to hide the Queen from any possible assassin and have removed their quarters from the Shoreman Hotel. The Queen has great hopes in her good friend, President Cleveland, that he will fix her up all right before his term expires.
 Mucli sorrow has been expressed among Democratic statesmen at the death of the Honorable William P. St John, who was late treasurer of the Democratic and silver National Committees.
 Considerable interest has been raised over the attack made by Senator Vest against Secretary Mor- ton. Mir. Vest claimed that the Secretary of Agriculture had used his public office for the purpose of hoop,iuo Iia,eaIe ,,o.g11oIIxr n-,,1 ;,, advertising his home in Nebraska. Secretary Morton retorts by saying that the advertisement cost the Government nothing, and that he is the only Cabinet officer who has ever turned into the Treasury, money which had been legislated to him for running the expenses of the Depart ment He has saved the Govern ment something over $2,000, ,000. The controversy of Secretary Morton with members of Congress regarding the distribution of seeds, has merit nit on the part of the Secretary of - Agriculture. The object for which money is appropriated for the distri- button of seeds, is for the purpose of experimenting in new varieties and In the propagation of new plants.
 But the practice for many years on the part of the officer in charge of the Agricultural Department prior toSeertary Morton's administration, has been to buy old seeds from those Who would furnish them the cheap est, and the consequence has been mat the old seeds left over by the stockholders of the United States have been dumped annually upon the government. These seeds were sent out by the members of Congress to their constituents porporting to be rare and valuable seeds. The experi- ,eilce of those receiving the seeds has oeen almost uniformly one of disap- continent. Secretary Morton re- used longer Co carry on this system, E winch raised u breeze in Congress, ana resulting in the enactment of a INV forcing him to continue it.
 Whatever the criticism may be naoe against the Secretary of Agri- oul'nre as to his monetary views, he .ertainly has been right regarding 'als more than infamous seed hum- pusglng steal and fraud which has oee' perpetrated on the American peopie Tor the past 20 years.

AFTER TWeNTY-sIx YEARS.
Man Killer Is Arrested and Brought Up
 for Trial.

This morning Assistant Prose cutting Attorney Merritt left for Washington township, where he will represent the State in a re- markable case which comes up before Justice Baldwin. It is nothing less than the preliminary trial of Glass Smith, negro, who twenty-six years ago shot and instantly killed man named Bass. The homicide was committed on the Ed Williams place, below this city in 1871.
 A singular feature of this case is that Smith, for the past twenty-six years, has never been out of the limits of Jefferson and Lincoln counties, except for two terms that he served in the State penitentiary for other crimes, yet he was never apprehended by the officers of the law until arrested by Constable Plikington of Washington township few days ago.
 Another remarkable part in the case is that, notwithstanding the long long lapse of time since the homicide, the State will be able to produce several witnesses who saw the killing.
