STORIES
WE'RE
SALACIOUS,
But They Do Not Seem to Have Car
ried Great Weight With the
Committee.

The house committee for the investi-
cation of the sensational charges
against the management of the soldiers
nome has practically concluded it's
work, hearing the last of the testimony
yesterday, and while the testimony yes
terday was Of the most salacious which
has yet been given before the investi-
cation, it is reported. on seemingly
excellent authority, that the committee
considered it too light in weight to
warrant any severe condemnation Of
the commandant, Thomas McMiIlin.
When the committee met in the
morning, the early drift of the testi-
mony showed such a condition of af-
fairs that the young woman who has
been taking the testimony was excused
from service in respect to her sex. The
proceedings We're then resumed behind
closed doors
Judge Hicks and Mr. Kendall acted
as clerks Of the committee, and the
notes will not be made public. Among
the charges presented were that Capt.
Mcmillan was drunk upon several oc-
casiOns, and one witness told about a
visit which he and the commandant
had paid to a fortune teller, upon
guilty of some unladylike conduct.
The witnesses who testified upon this
subject were J. E. Slower, S. A Stock
we'll, A. L. Soule and D r. Greenlee.
The subject of the cost Of the pavilion
at the home was taken up in the early
part Of the committees meeting, and
among the witnesses were J. A Gil
man and Capt Castle, William Gehritz
and 1. H. Beebee.
In the afternoon Capt Mcmillan was
before the committee in his own de-
Tense. He denied the derogatory stories
told by other witnesses; denied that he
had been drunk, and said he saw moth
ing improper in the conduct of the for
tune teller. The committee was appar-
emily satisfied with the commandments
statements, and called for no other wit
nesses upon this point.
The testimony was concluded in the
afternoon session, and an adjournment
was taken until Friday, in order that
it may be Transcribed from the stenog-
rapher's notes. 1t seems a foregone
conclusion that the committee will re-
port that there was no basis for the
charges.

HER CLOTHES LINED WITH MONEY.
Filthy Person Treats Hospital Nurses
TO q Surprise.

ST. LOUIS, No, March pa mysterious
woman who refuses TO give her true name or
former residence is an object of diligent in
qulry at the female hospital. She was found
almlessly wandering along Olive street The
woman was so completely covered with dirt
and CRIME that it was thought at first glance
that she was negress. When an attempt
was MADE by the nurses TO disrobe her in
order TO give her bath she fought furious
", but when she found her efforts were use
less she suIenly yielded Then the attend
ants were treated TO a great surprise From
every garment fell bank notes. They show
cred about the woman's feet as her clothing
them.
That's TO start my new religion" said the
woman. I am opposed TO cleanliness The
Bible says nothing about cleanliness being
next to goodness. On all other subjects the
woman appeared TO be of proper mind After
she was bathed and reclad she looked like a
different individual. Her face bore evidence
that she had once been handsome. Both the
hospital authorities and the police are try
ing to solve the mystery which surrounds
the strange woman.

CHARGED WITH SPLITTING BILLS
Georgia Farmer Is Arrested by the
Federal Authorities.

ATLANTA. Ga March 22.-Charles E. Ship.
a leading farmer of Dallas has been arrest
ed by the federal authorities for splitting
s. bill
E. Davis, a merchant swore that Ship
came into his store and handed him s. bill
in payment of a claim due. Davis put the
bill in his pocket and did not pay any partic-
ular attention to it at the time. A few mo-
ments later, when he unfolded the bill, he
noticed that ii felt unusually thin and light.
On investigation he found that the bill was
not whole, but was only the front or diverse
side Of a s. bill. He mentioned his discovery
to L. 7. Ryan, who happened into his store
a short time afteTward, and MIR. Ryan ex-
citeily remarked
He has just paid me s.. and III bet he's
beat me in the same way"
MIR. Ryan pulled out the money that had
been paid to him by Ship and found it was
the. reverse side Of the same bill that Ship
had given Davis.
A dozen similar cases developed, which led
TO the arrest. The process by which the bills
were divided is a mystery. Capt. Forsyth,
of the secret service, declares the method is
a government secret.

There is some doubt as to one of the bodies
being that of woman. The man who went
down into the boat says there was no woman

much of calf as Corbett. Sullivan
