Christmas Presents From Pavey to
Mrs. Hamilton.


The story told by the mother of Johr
ID. Hamilton of how her dead son first
became aware of the relations which
existed between his wife and Pavev
IS interesting. Last Christmas Pavey
sent Mrs. Hamilton as a present, Sc
sEe says, six pairs of the finest silk
nose and two pairs of gloves. The
VIE Showed them to her husband tell
ing him that the pretty things was a
gift from girl friend whom she
named. As luck would have it Ham
llton met the person named by his
wife the next daV and at once COM
menced thanking her for the present
to Mrs Hamilton, but the lady, of
! course, disclaimed all knowledge of it,
Then other little things turned up
which the wife was unable to explain
/ with any degree of satisfaction to her
/ husband.
Hamilton kept talking about the hose
and the gloves and had half formed
the idea in his mind that his wife had
stolen the articles from some of the
stores where she was in the habit of
shopping. With this thought he urged
her 10 confess and tell him the truth
as to how she came by the articles He
took her on his lap and said he would
forgive her if she would make a clean
breast of it and finally she yielded and
told him the whole story of her con-
nection with Pavey, which had been
going on for six months. She said she
had been in the habit of going to his
place of business two or three times a
week and had criminal relations with
him.
This confession was so very different
from anything which the husband ex-
pected that his promise of forgiveness
counted for nothing. He induced her

fully and freely admitted her guilt
with Pavey and told a very pathetic
story OF how Pavey had pursued her
and followed her. He would turn I'D
at all kinds of unexpected places and
times and seemed to have an influence
over her she could not resist. She often
came to town with her husband, who
would leave her while she went to do
some shopping but no sooner would he
be gone than Pavey would be at her
side. Once her husband. she said, left
her while ne went to a barber shop to
be shaved. Pavey picked her up and
they went to Pavey's place of business
and sinned and then she Joined her
husband again.

trouble with a high note. but on this

A FURRY in the Camp.

Philadelphia North American: The
Spanish commander called a council of
war When all his aides were seated
he turned TO his servant and said:

The aides looked pleased and their

war times. The servant approached
and proceeded to open another bottle

NO HORSELESS CARRIAGES
Commissioners Refuse Mr.. Hughes
a Permit to Operate One.
Danger OF Frightening Horses the
Grocery Delivery Wagon.

The District Commissioners yesterday
refused to grant permit to Mr. John A.
Hughes TO operate a torseless wagon
within the city limits, giving as reason
for the refusal that experience has taught
that similar vehicles have caused serious
danger by frightening horses.
In support OF their objections the CouI-
missioners state that on I he occasion or u
trial trip OF one OF these wagons some
time ago, several rBnaways occurred.
Mr. Hughes, however, is not discouraged
by the refusal OF the Commissioners to
grant the permit asked for. AS a matter
or fact it is not the first time similar
request by him has been refused but this
viii noC deter him from making another
appeal
Ar. Hughes carries on a large general
mercha disc busiaess at No. 1245 Twentieth
street. and desires to use horseless ma
chine as a delivery wagon.
They are used in other cities for this
purpose, and be can see no reason why
they cannot be used heTe without injury TO
either persons or property SO far as
the hoise made by a hoIseless wagon is
concerned, it is claimed that compared
with the ordinary wago:i drawn by horses
the - o-mer has decidedly the best of it.

Use for the Signal Corps.

To the Editor Of The Times:
Allow me to suggest that housekeepers
devise code of signals by which to ad-
wise huckSters of their needs.
For example, q green flag would invite
a call from q peddler OF green things, as
lettuce, spinach, etc A red flag would
mean fruits; white one eggs, etc.
Square, triangular, round flags, or any
old shape, might be put to service 20
widen the scope and play Of the signals.
1 am not much OF paternalist In
Governmental affairs, but 1 venture to
suggest that the signal corps of the arny
take charge of the matter; for since Gen.
Greely suggested the looping of of the
Weather Bureau the signal corps has
nothing to do but play This Little Pig
Went to Market
The flag system might be supplem ented
by music-boX system. For example. a
housekeeper wanting potatoes would set
q musc-box on the front steps set to play
''Annie Rooney" If sugar Were wanted
it would play Sugar Bob;" if coffee, the
grand clearinghouse chorus, Mamma,
the Coffee-grounds are White"
