AFTERNOONS PROCEEDINGS

The "hootchee kootchee'' flavor of this
mornings testimony gave no end of fun
to those who fiocked to hear the proceed
ings. Its effect on the committe them
selves was to make each member smile,
and from the significant question put by
Chairman Gledhill, it was perfectly plain
that he as well as his colleagues, looked
up on it as a farce and somewhat of
mistake. 1t has always been recognized
as an axiom that to render serious
question harmless simply throw over it a
shade of ridicule.
The great sensation of the morning was
the testimony involving x-Superintendent
Christopher P. Smith and concerning the
accusations of bribery and corruption
made against him. A few lawyers in the
room this afternoon, while the committee
were out at lunch, raised nice ques-
ton whether or not the offense was in
dictable and did not the statute outlaw
it. 1t was told by the lawyers that the
statute gave five years as the limit for
indictment, and if that be true, they said
the time was nearly up, for the offenses
charged occurred in the latter part of
1898. The discussion was in full swing
when the committee appeared at half-past
two o'clock, and Counsel McCarter start
ed the machinery in motion by calling
Thomas E. Whelan who had formerly
been connected with the policy game in
this city. Whelan formerly resided in
Clinton avenue, corner Of Crescent ave-
nue., and afterwards on Grand street. At
ter few preliminary questions Mr.. Nc
Carter asked:-

"Yes"

Whelan then described policy and ex-
planned the technicalities of gigs and
"chippies." He worked, he continued,
with Horace Farrier in Captain Farriers s
precinct He remained with Farrier for
many years, and also worked for Charley
Webber and man named Keating

HOW VERY SIMPLE
DR.. Sanden's Method Is.

There is a force in your body which keeps up
the health of the nerves, blood, kidneys, liver,
heart, etc. You call it vitality
Vitality is often wasted by sickness, exposure,
excesses-by some unnatural strain upon the vital
functions When wasted it is hard to recover.
This vitality, as yon call it, is electrical en-
ergy. It is generated in your nervous system, and
carried over your body by your nerves.
When it is wasted DR.. Sanden will restore it.
Dr. Sanden's Electrical Belt will pour stream of
this electrical force into your for hours at
time every night while you sleep.
It renews the vital power. You feelrefreshed
New life is given to your organs, warmth and vigor
to your blood. Away goes weakness, pain and mis-
cry. Joy and gladness are yours.
After wearingi it for three months you will see
wonderful change. Health will belyonrA.

The following remark is by high

inveighing against slothfulness, he said
in closing, "Do you think Adam and

Last year, in the north Of Ireland,

This was the story of the play:
A gallant knight joined the brave
King Richard in one of his crusades in
Palestine. Nothing having been heard
from him for more than seven years, the
conviction was forced on his faithful
wife that he was dead. The villain came
to her and wanted her to marry him,
but at the critical moment the knight
reappeared and clasped in his arms his
lady, who had never ceased to love him.
Then explanations came, and he told Of
his many noble achievements. "In

Australian Oysters.

The Australian mollusk is of two
kinds-the mud oyster and the rock
oyster. The former grows to larger
sizs, but the rock oyster is more gen.
orally esteemed for favor. Their names
indicate their place of growth. The rock
oysters love the beds and adjoining
rocks Of tidal streams. They grow IN
clusters, in variety of shapes and sizes,
and each cluster is attached to some-
thing solid. Here they are alternate
ly bathed in salt water and in fresh or
brackish. They are also left for hours
high and dry until the incoming tide
refreshes them. Nor do these oysters al
ways select rocks on which to dwell.
These accommodating mollusks may
frequently be found adhering to the
roots and lower branches Of the man
grove and other trees which delight in
sort Of submarine residence. It Is
doubtless to this popularity that the
sailor referred when he wrote to his
mother at home, telling the old lady,
and not untruly, that in Australia oys-
ters grow on trees.-Chambers Journal.
