The Senate committee on Claims has
begun the Investigation directed by
resolution of the Senate as to the pay
ment to lobbyist of large percentage
of the $29S, 900 recently paid to the
Methodist Book concern, by act of Con-
gress, for war damages to its property
at Nashville, Tenn. The Investigation
was dead easy, as Mr.. Barbee, agent
of the beck concern, told the commit
tee that 80 per cent of the mony receiv-
ed had been paid to Mr.. Stahlman, who
had been the attorney at Washington
of the book concern; and he added that
he considered the employment of an at
torney to aid in the pushing the settle
ment of the claim was matter that
concerned only the book concern, and
that he had not at any time considered
himself under any obligations to inform
Senators or others of the nature of the
contract made with ths attorney. Mr..
Stahlman, the attorney, told the COM
mittee that he had received the pay for
his services, and that he did not men
ton the nature of his contract while the
matter was pending in Congress, be-
cause to have done so would have been
to prejudice the claim, and to prevent
its being voted upon on It's own mer-
rits. Those two witnesses appear to
have told the committee every
thing it was directed to find out.
There is some curiosity to know wheth-
err the committee will recommend any
action, and if so, what. If it be q
crime to employ an attorney to lobby
a claim through Congress, about every
claimant who has had or now has claims
before that body has been or is guilty.

ALONG THE WATER FRONT.

The steamer HermoSa, which arrived from Seattle yesterday. ran away from the Sound to escape from infuriated gold hunters who had purchased tickets for St. Michael by her. The Hermosa used to run between Santa Barbara and the Catalina Islands, but when the klondike rush began last year she came up here and was fitted out for that trade. Last month some Seattle parties chartered her and put up a deposit, but no more money was forthcoming as sailing day ap- preached. Seeing a storm arising the owner of the vessel gave Captain Lars son a wink and that bold navigator got up steam during the night and came post haste to San Francisco. When the Klondikers who had purchased tickets by the Hermosa reached the wharf next morning their vessel was gone.
 here from Barbadoes yesterday, is in trouble She has no register, and the captain sailed with his passengers with only an open letter from the American valueless, and the vessel has neither a registry nor flag, so the customs au- thorities are in a quandary what to do with her. The matter has been sub mitted to the Secretary of the Treasury.
 Mrs. Dolby of Freelon street will prob She was hanging out some clothes when the pulley broke and the weight of the articles on the line pulled her into the yard, sixteen feet below. She was taken to the Harbor Receiving Hospital where Dr. Stafford treated her for broken shoul- der blade and probable fracture of the base of the skull. She is very heavy woman, weighing over 200 pounds.

Lovemaking In Public.

1t is evident from her letter to The
Ladies' Home Journal that Miss Lillian
Bell finds much in Paris to interest and
amuse her. Among other things that
are rather novel to an American lone
sees" she writes, "the comical sight
of French bride and bridegroom, in
all the glory of their bridal array
white satin, veil and orange blossoms
driving through the streets in open cabs
and hugging and kissing each other
with an unctuous freedom which is apt
to throw conservative American into
q spasm of laughter. Indeed the frank
and candid way that lovemaking goes
on in public among the lower classes is
SO amazing that at first you think you
never in this world will become accus-
toned to it, but you get accustomed to
a great many strange sights in Paris. II
q kiss explodes with unusual violence in
q cab near mine, it sometimes scares
the horse, but it no longer disturbs me
in the least. Ny nervousness over that
sort of thing has entirely worn of. I"

A Test For Right or LEFT Hand.dn....


1t is noted editorially in The Medico
Legal Journal, New York, that in many
criminal cases 1t becomes necessary to
know whether a, man is right or left
handed. Quoting DIR. Hall Of Denver, q
high authority, the writer says:
''The matter has generally been set
tied by the production of witnesses,
who have testified freely in many cases
to q given condition when an equal
number Of witnesses have been brought
forward who have testified to an oppo-
site condition. In many cases the ques-
ton could be better settled by an exam
ination of the prisoner, if such an ex-
animation could be obtained, or of the
corpse, in case this became desirable by
a study Of the cicatrices upon the hands,
such as are inflicted by every man who
handles tools of every kind, but espe-
cially the pocketknife. Although most
left handed boys are taught to write
with the right hand, believe the knife
is commonly handled with the left hand
in such cases by the left handed, and
many tools are used in a similar manner
in various trades. In women the study
could not be expected to be of so much
value. and still it has proved to be fair
ly conclusive in many cases. !"
