UNCLE SAM WON'T PAY.
Case whore tho Transfer or q Claim Was
Made Herore the Marrnnt Was Drawn.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 30.-James C. Reed Of New
York recovered judgments against the United
States in two cases involving a question Of
official fees. He assigned them to Elihu Root,
and later died. No provision was made By Con-
gress for paying them until at the recent session.
Then Mr.. Root asked Secretary Cage whether
warrants upon the Treasury for the money,
amounting to something over $1,000. could bo
drawn in his favor. The question was referred to
Comptroller Bowler, but as he was about to 20
out OF office, he said the question should bc an
swered by the Comptroller in office when 1t had
been passed upon by the Auditor having jnris-
diCtion of such claims
Later the question was referred to the new
Comptroller, Mr.. Tracewell. and in a lengthy
opinion promulgated to-day he tells the Secre-
tary why tn, warrants cannot be drawn In favor
OF Mr. Root. Briefly stated, 1t is that assigned
or transferred claims against the United States
will be paid to the assignee only when the
transfer was male after the warrant was drawn.
In this case the procedure could not be fol-
lowed. because Mr.. Reed had died before the
warrant could b. drawn-in fact. before Con.
Rress appropriated the money to pay the judg-
ment. The Comptroller says the money will bo
paid only TO Mr.. Reeds administrator or other
personal representative, and Mr.. Root will have
to look to him for it.
Such has been tho practice OF the office for
many years. but this was tho first time the Q ues-
tion WAS squarely presented to the Comptroller
for decision.

Yesterday began, at the Chase School Of Art,

which will continue until o'clock this evening.
1t includes about sixty pictures by William NJ.
Chase, three decorative projects in color and
some black and white works by A. B. Wenzell,
the instructor in the sketch class, and q large
collection OF studies made by Mr.. Chase 8 pupils
at Shinnecock Hills during the past summer
Mr.. Chase's pictures are TO be sent this week to
Chicago for a special exhibition at the Art
Institute. Among them arc several portraits
and interiors with figures. portrait Of

especially attractive. and shows a quiet color
scheme very simply and broadly carried out
The landscapes painted at Shnnecock are some
twenty In number and Of varying size from can
vases about AXIS feet to those OF small " cabi-
net" dimensions. One shows a stretch Of downs
with early autumn herbage and a sky robin g.
egg blue. Another gives a view OF shore with a
pier or breakwater built OF rough rocks and chill
dren playing ON the sands. In this the notes are
sounded with unerring precision and the Ron-
eral effect 10 broad and harmonious A much
smaller work, presenting q roadway, with shad-
ows cast by trees, falling across the picture ID
notable for much truth OF observation and for
unity of effect. The shadows on tho Rreen
herbage ar, actually rendered green. Such
shadows are green sometimes. and tho artist
has unhesitatingly followed nature in his pic
ture. This, too, when he might 30 easily
have followed the usual prescription and
mado them violet Another small canvas
gives delightful bit OF shore with life
and color in the water and u hne sky
and distance. Again. larger canvas
shows a windy day with the bent figure Of a
woman plodding along a clif path and broken
sky OF gray and white. delicate In color and full
of movement. Mr.. Chase has always painted
these things well and this year has done them
better than ever He ought to show them in

case OF James Roosevelt. as executor OF William
f. Rowland, against the Land and River I'M

merous and complicated litigations arising
out OF the fraudulent transactions OF Francis
H. Weeks, whose misconduct became public in
1893 after he bad dofrauded scores Of clients
and other persons who reposed the utmost con.
ndence in his ability and integrity as lawyer.
agent and trustee. The object OF the suit was
to establish tho title OF the Rowland estate to
a fund derived from three mortgages made by
one Danzger to Weeks 1t appeared that
Weeks had loaned the money OF the Rowland
estate upon these mortgages and had subse-
ouentIy used the mortgages for his own pur-
poses The Special Term decided that'the How.
land estate WAS tho equitable owner OF tho
mortgages, inasmuch as they were acquired
with Mr.. Howlands money, and that his
executor was therefore entitled TO the fund In
court which represented their proceeds. after
the payment OF prior lien in favor OF third
party This Judgment was affirmed by the
Appellate Division in an elaborate opinion by
Mr.. Justice Patterson, and has now finally
been sustained at Albany.

An Explained Ghost,

This is true English ghost story of
an unconventional kind. Ayoung lady
arrived late at night on a visit to
friend. She awoke in the darkness to
find white figure at the foot of the
bed. While she watched, the bed
clothes were suddenly whisked off and
the apparition vanished. After an
anxious, not to say chilly night, the
visitor went down with little appetite
to breakfast AT the table she was in
troduced to gentleman, a very old
friend OF the family, who had, she
learned, also been sleeping in the
house. He complained of the cold.
hope you will excuse me-" he said to
the hostess, "but 1 found it so cold
during the night that, knowing tho
room next mine was unoccupied, l took
the liberty of going in and carrying off
the bedclothes to supplement my own"
The room, as it happened, was not I'M
occupied, but he never learned his mis-
take.-San Francisco Argonaut.

SLEEVES are the special point of in
terest in the new spring gowns, as there
is decided difference in the cut. The
new sleeve is almost close fitting, with
very narrow epaulet frills at the top.
The plain sleeve is the unusual excep-
ton except in cloth gowns, and shirred,
tucked, and trimmed sleeves of some
sort are the rule. This is wise pro-
vision of fashion, as it DISCUSSES the I'm.
becoming effect of close sleeve. They
are shirred up and down in two or three
narrow frills with q space between OF
around in puffs; tucks are set in di-
agonally, up and down, or around in
groups, and all the sleeves which are
intended to be long fall well over the
hand. The plain coat sleeve with @
little fullness at the top is the one mos
in use for tailor gowns and cloth
Jackets.

Diamonds Of GOlcOnda.

In st. Nicholas Noah Brooks is tell
| ing for the children of to-day =" THE
True Story of Marco Polo" In the
April number he quotes the following
account of the diamonds of Golconda
from the great Venetian travellers mar.
rative:
1t is in this kingdom that diamonds
are got; and will tell you how There
are certain lofty mountains in those
parts; and when the winter rains fall
which are very heavy, the waters come
roaring down the mountains in great
torrents. When the rains are over,
and the waters from the mountains
have ceased to flow, they search the
beds of the torrents and find plenty of
diamonds. In summer also there are
plenty to be found in the mountains,
but the heat of the sun is 30 great that
it is scarcely possible to go thither, nor
is there then drop of water to be
found. Moreover, in those mountains
great serpents are rife to marvellous
degree, besides other vermin, and this
is owing to the great heat. The SER
penis are also the most venomOus in
existence, so that any one going there
runs fearful peril; for many have been
destroyed by these evil reptiles.
Now among these mountains there
are certain great and deep valleys, to
the bottom of which there is no access.
Wherefore the men who go in search
of the diamonds take with them pieces
of flesh, as lean as they can get, and
these they cast into the bottom of the
valley. Now there are numbers of
white eagles that haunt those noun
tains and feed upon the serpents.
When the eagles see thu meat thrown
down, they pounce upon it, and carry
it up to some rocky hilltop, where
they begin to rend it. But there are
men on the watch, and as soon as they
see that the eagles have settled, they
raise loud shouting to drive them
away. And when the eagles are thus
frightened away the men recover the
pieces of meat, and find them full of
diamonds which have stuck to the meat
down in the bottom. For the abund-
ance of diamonds down there in the
depths of the valleys is astonishing,
nobody can get down; and if one could,
it would be only to be at once devoured
by the serpents which are so rife there.
There is also another way of getting
the diamonds. The people go to the
nests of those white eagles, of which
there are many, and find plenty of dia-
monds which the birds have carried off
with the meat that was cast into the
valleys. And when the eagles them
selves are taken diamonds are found in
their stomachs.
So now l have told you three differ
ent ways in which these stones are
found. No other country but this
kingdom of Mutfili produces them, but
there they are found both abundantly
and of large size. Those that are
brought to our part of the world are
only the refuse, as it were, of the finer
and larger stones. For the flower of
the diamonds and other large gems, as
we'll as the largest pearls, are all car
ried to the Great Khan and other Kings
and Princes OF those regions; in truth,
they possess all the great treasures of
the world.
