A Good Memory.

Senator Chandler Of New Hampshire is
said by his colleagues to have the best
memory of all the members of the upper
house. When he feels inclined to 90 SO,
Mr.. Chandler can repeat almost word for
word any speech which he may have hearu
ON the floor of the senate. He has u re.
markable faculty for this sort of thing, ana
ON tests has been known to reproduce from
memory a short speech made by some 9th
or senator almost verbatim. Newspaper
correspondents have underworld to utillZe
the Now Hampshire senator's extraordi'
nary memory by getting him to tell them
what was said in executive session, pu'

The Michigan Clubs annual Washing
toms birthday banquet was one OF the most
successful in the history of this powerful
social and political organization. The un-
precedented crowd of party leaders and
workers from the interior of the state made
the sale of seats run high, while the gallery
tickets were at premium. AT z O'CLOCK
Monday evening, after the mammoth audi
forum had been turned into one vast dining
room and brilliantly lighted and draped with
the flags of nations and state emblems, the
speakers led by Elk Gov. X. A. Alger ana
S. s. Babcock, marched to the platform
and the banqueting began, lasting about
one and a half hours. President Babcock
introduced X. A. Alger as POSTMASTER, VINO

of welcome, which the mayor-governor read
rather perplexedly, then followed toasts py
some of the very eloquent and learned mer
of the nation, the efforts of Editor Curtis
Guild, of Boston, Judge Albion w. Tour
gee, of New York, aud Senator Elect Boise
Peprose, of Pennsylvania, being worthy
mention as some of the best toasts eve
heard by the club, the list of whose speak
ers at the annual banquet has included tn
most prominent statesmen, soldiers, divine
and citizens of the country. Gen. Walker
who succeeded "StonewalP' jackson i
command of the Confederate army, was on
of the speakers and was given glorious re
ception, his subject Virginia, the Mothe
Of Presidents" furnishing field for tai
that made his efforts eloquent and his pa
riotism plain. 1t is an extraordinary priv

MOORE CASE In COURT
Ex-AUDlTCR UP FOR EN-.
B~EZZLEMEMT.
Arguments on Demurrer and Motion q
Q~ush-CiNme lie Was Not Authorized
Ia Collect insurance Fees-Amendments
Did Not Garry.

Saturday in district court In Sancas'
ter county Judge Hail listened to mr..
guments on the demurrer and motion
" quash filed by Eugene Moore, TO
the information charging him with
embezzlement. The principal conten'
tion of the defense was set forth In
the arguments on the demurrer to
three of the nine counts in the infor.
nation which charge Moore with en-
bezzling money in his official capacity
as auditor. Moore's attorneys alleged
that he is not responsible for the
money, as nowhere ia the statutes 10
the auditor authorized "a receive fees
or p~erqhisites for any purpose. The
motion to quash served the same pur.
pose MS n motion to make more specific
and certain. IL was not l.gued as
carefully as the demurrer.
During the arguments Of Moore's at
torneys, Judge Hall several times In.
terruptcd them with questions. He
asked Attorney Bronze IL, admitting
for the purpose Of argument that the
auditor had no right to take the
money, he did not have n duty in com
mon law to turn ove what money
came into his possession MS an ofiicia
to a party authorized to receive II?
The court cited the exact wording OF
the statute governing embezzlemen'
and asked what difference it made how
Moore got the money. The demurrer,
he said, admits that the defendant has
possession of it. The statutes define
an officer who is punishable for EN-
bezzlement as any officer or other per.
son charged with the collection, re
ceipt, safe keeping, transfer or dis
bursement Of tn e public money" The
court asked what difference IL would
make in the present ease IL all words
but "safe keeping we're stricken out.
Would not the defendants case be in,
.cluded then?
Acknowledgement Smyth closed for
the state. He maintained that the Ii
,censes issued by Moore rs auditor would
be good IL the state never got a cent o!
the fees. He commented on the pro
vision in the constitution that fees
must be paid in advance and said that
in certain cases IL was necessary Il
put a very liberal construction on the
law. In closing, he said that the crime
of enlightenment Is unknown to com
mon law. When the elements hav'
been alleged, the crime has been de
fined.
Judge Hall said he would give his de
cision on Tuesday.

than it has been since the beginning
Of tho war. General Conner has
q we'll disciplined army of about
o,000 men who are determined to

crowned with victory. Our soldiers
are rapidly procuring arms, and every
day serves TO ont them on . better
footing in this respect Onr troops
enjoy q vast advantage over the Span.
iards, in that they arc not injuriously
affected by the climate. I may say
that ! have not seen q case of yell
low fever or smallpox among the
Cuban soldiers since l have been
on the island. and that I have
not been sick a day myself. Further
moro, we have no difficulty In feeding
our troops. In the portion of the
country in which the Cuban troops are
in control, the provisions are protect
ed, and we draw our supplies from
this source. Our commissary Is, there
fore, regularly renewed and our sup
plies are received in quantities quite
sufficient to meet oil our wants"
In reply to a question, Captain Smith
said: ''All talk about autonomy and Of
Spanish reforms for Cuba Is SO much
breath wasted. There Is not a man In

cept anything short Of absolute indie.
