INsTIGATEp BY ENEMIES.


Philadelphia. Oct. 6.-In response to an
inquiry for a statement Mr.. Quay said;
II think that no one who was present at
the hearing today entertains,any doubt
as 10 the truthfulness OF the charge
boldly made by my. counsel. that this
proceeding was instigated by political
enemies OF mine who hide behind the dis
rict attorney and will not permit him TO
reveal their names; and that their sole
purpose was TO manufacture campaign
literature by false charges that could
not be met and answered except on
trial i'm court.
'Of course everybody knows that on
such hearing could not be permitted
10 make any defense or show the falsity
OF these charges. and my counsel advise
me IL would be worse than useless To at
tempt TO do SO at this time and in such
proceeding: but you may be sure that
have instructed them To force this case
TO speedy trial in court where both
sides can be heard. and after that TO ex-
pose legally and punish TO the utmost
the instigators OF this proceeding.
"As 10 the charges have simply this
to say that they are absolutely false and
wholly without foundation. l have al
ways had an account with the Peoples
bank, and have frequently instructed
Mr.. Hopkins To have brokers buy for me
stocks which | thought were likely TO
rise in value: but they were always
bought with my own money. or upon my
own credit, and upon thoroughly good
collateral. and the Peoples bank was
always amply protected for any loans
obtained from IT, Not a single share OF
stock was ever bought for me either
directly or indirectly with public money.
and my letters which were offered in evil
dence themselves clearly show this; nor
did / ever have the use or benefit, either
directly or Indirectly. to the extent OF
one penny OF any OF the states money
on deposit in the Peoples bank; nor did
ever obtain from the bank the loan OF
single dollar because of the deposit
with 1t OF state moneys: nor did owe
the Peoples bank a single penny. for
every dollar I ever borrowed from IL was
promptly paid back by me at maturity"

It is familiar fact that fishes can
change their colors at will many
fishes make remarkable changes.
Free swimming fishes most common
ly preserve their normal colors.
though these fishes can change the
fishes that change most are the
bottom feeders. For their own pro-
lection from other fishes that would
prey upon them, and the better to
enable them themselves to capture
food, these change their colors to
match the bottom they are on, so
as to make themselves invisible.
They do this often to degree that
seems extraordinary.
In one of the smaller salt water
tanks at the New York Aquarium
there are a number of flat fish. The
bottom of the tank is covered with
coarse gravel. The great bulk of
gravel is composed of PEBBLES brown
ish white, a sort of pale ironrust color
Scattered in this are PEBBLES of deep
er tinge, with now and then one of
brownish gray or brown black.
The Hat fish lying on the gravel al
the bottom of the tank initiates its
colors in their own backs iu way
that is marvellous; they are of a
mottled brown, like the color OF
the gravel, and the smallest of the
flat fish is the most wonderful.
They are all thin and lie close to
the bottom. The edge of the little
one blends with it and its back is a
wonderful mosaic of browns so like
the gravel of the surrounding bot
tom that it appears to be part of it.
Even in this clear water, at a little
distance the fiah is scarcely distin-
guishable,

Reflections of q Bachelor.

Every man is bitter pessimist
when he has a boil.
The average woman thinks there
will be no marrying in heaven be-
cause there won't Se any bachelors
there.
You can generally tell how much
a girl knows by whether she acts cur
ious about what man carries in his
hip pocket
Dante made one mistake. He ought
TO have saved the deepest, hottest ov-
en- for the man that writes the Begin
ner's cook books.
When a woman has on q new hat,
whenever man looks at her she
thinks he is admiring it. Whenever
woman looks at her she wonders if
she has forgotten to take off the
price tag.
