what the Senator questions? Now. ! ask
him whether ne attended a convention IA
vorable to sound money and was named
as delegate by such convention?'
Il was a delegate" said Mr.. Pettigrew
calmly.
Then I do not understand that per-
formance of the Senator" proceeded Mr.
Chandler. There is not so wide differ
ence between US as might appear. lie de-
clared that my statement was wholly
false. He admits that he went TO the
national convention as a delegate OF
sound money convention"
Mr.. Pettigrew declared that he had made
his position perfectly clear before the State
convention prior to his being chosen a del
egate.
The incident was brief. but was empha-
sized by the personal manner in which the
Senators addressed each other.
Mr. Chandler. resuming the thread of
his remarks spoke of the opportunities
ahead of the Republican administration
in checking the money power and limiting
corporate influences.
The House devoted to-day. after the rou-
tine business to pension bills. Thirty-nine

NEW YORK, February 16.-Charles P.
Flint. treasurer, and J. b. Ford and II. g.
Martin. directors of the L. 5. Rubber Co.,
were in waiting to be questioned by the
join, legislative committee on trusts to-day
but were excused until noon.
Senator LeXow then questioned Mr..
Searles as TO the margin of profit between
the raw and refined material during the
five years preceding the creation of the
sugar trust.
llr. Searies said that the average margin
of profit for the five years preceding the
trust was .s53i Of a cent per pound and dur
ing the five Years. subsequent it was 1856
per pound.
rs it not true that the average price of
the raw material after the trust dropped
80 cent "a pound while the charge of the
refined increased .l55 cent per pound?'
Undoubtedly, sir"
Mr.. Searles denied that there was a
seven-fold capitalization Of the stock of
the company Mr.. Searles charged that
Investigations of the present kind drove
capital out of the State instead of inviting
il.
In reply to another question, Mr.. Searles
said he could see no reason why the State
should interfere with the business of the
American Sugar Refining Company and i'm
the same breath intimated that there were
a number of companies and monopolies in
this city that had no legal right to exist
"Iave you given the matter Of produc-
ing the books of the company any further
thought, Mr.. Searles?" asked Senator
LeXow.
81 have not"
"Then your answer stands the same as
yestsrday?'
Yes. sir"
Senator Lexow then called attention to
the statement Of Lawyer Edward II. She
pard. who promised to have the books in
the possession OF the committee last FRI
day.
Lawyer Parsons disclaimed any knowl-
edge of Mr.. Shepard's promise. but said
he could answer authoritatively after the
directors meeting tomorrow.
The committee conferred and Senator
LcXow said he would wait until Thursday
before taking decisive action in the mat
ter. Senator McCarron said to Mr.
Soarles: Il want to put "A hypothetical
question. Suppose that the fifteen COM
panies composing the trust had not been
consolidated. what would the price of su-
gar be 20 the consumers"
1T would be dearer. about half cent a
pound. responded the witness. who add
ed that as much labor is employed per ton
of output now as was before the consou-
datou.

neither color bearer nor eagle bearer in
this regiment was ever shot. 50 the sol

All of our boys and girls do not have

comfortably warmed, well-lighted aud
beautifully decorated schoolhouse. like
most of those in Chicago.
Away up in northern Michigan. where
much of the land Is still uncultiyated.
there stands little low log building
in the center of a clearing, where the
huge oak and maple stumps still stand
to tell of the forest that once covered
the land. This schoolhouse has a
funny little door. hardly high enough
10 admit tall man, and two or three
small windows, the size of a single
sash. The spaces between the logs
are plastered up with moss and mud.
and the gable ends are made Of boards
covered with taxpayer, which scents up
the big room inside. A long, low stove,
with a door big enough to receive q
whole cord-wood stick. stands in the
center of the room, and the stove-pipe
runs right out through the roof. with
out bothering about a brick chimney.
And the pupils? There are just four
OF them, with sometimes two or three
more in winter, when the snow is deep
and the farmers work is light. In the
picture. which Is from photograph,
you will see all the pupils standing out
side of the little door with their teach

ilies-there are only three families in
the whole district-and two of them
are compelled TO walk nearly four miles
to school every morning. In summer
time this is great fun, but in winter,
when the roads are drifted full of snow
and the mercur,- is down to zero. it
isn't so pleasant.
Two years ago the little school had a
most exciting experience. There were
five scholars then, and some of them.

reach the schoolhouse until after ten

bell, because there wasn't any bell to
ring. About noon the wind began to
