When John d. Rockefeller, Jr., came
TO New York, a small member OF his
fathers family, he was a studious
school boy whose serious face and eye
glasses singled him out as a lad not
like other lads. He distinguished him
self by being Quieter than his sisters.
and by going regularly 10 Sunday
School Daytimes he attended the
private school which Mrs Rockefeller
fitted up for her three children In their
home overlooking Fifth Avenue. After
school he rode horseback alone; even.
ings he played second violin TO his
fathers FIRST; and when his mother was
tired az the piano he took her place.

he said, 'here is one. You will re-
member, gentlemen, that when heard
was wanted as a witness I sent word
that would appear at any time on
simple notice and without the service
of a subpoena. You telephoned me this
morning, and came on the first train.
1 am present, and have been here all
day, and am only too willing to go on
the stand and give you all the informa-
ton in my possession. But I have
urgent business which requires my
presence in San Francisco, and it would
be a great accommodation to me II
you would call a session, examine me
in full and allow me to return to the
city,
II am very sorry, Mr. Cole replied
Chairman Cosper, but as I stated be-
fore, am not prepared to go on to-
night, having made another engage
ment, and In consequence there Will
be no meeting tonight"
when will there be meeting?" de-
manded Sanford.
Il really cannot say" was the reply.
l'"You see, we have no. room to meet
| in, but just as soon as,I can make ar
rangements for our accommodation the
examination will proceed
Chairman Cosper, as he disap-
peared down a corridor, said if the
other members of the committee want
ed to hold meeting they could do so,
but the. other members did nothing
worse than put their heads together
and express their dissatisfaction at
what was termed his arbitrary pro-
ceeding."
So it happened that the investigators
did not investigate yesterday, and so it
happens that nobody knows just when
it will take up the work of chasing
shadowy rumors, and when those fail
proceed to ask witnesses what they
think" about something they have
sworn they know nothing about.
The record-union., 1899-01-21
INVESTIGATION STANDS STILL
Chairman Cosper's Reasons for
Holding No Meeting Yesterday.

The Wright Investigation Committee
did not investigate anything yesterday.
1t failed to materialize at 10 o'clock
a. M, the hour agreed upon, and at
2:30 o'clock, at which hour it was un-
derstood that the investigators would
proceed to investigate something, an
excuse was made that a suitable room
wherein to meet could not be had.
Then again it was expected that Mil
ton S. Green, Grants manager, would
be arraigned before the bar of the
House at 2:3O p. m. to show cause why
he was not in contempt for declining
to answer some of the questions asked
him by the investigators. But Green
did not appear. Instead, certificate
signed by DR.. F. w. Hatch was read,
showing that he was victim OF
gastric disturbances" and high tenn
perature.
So after the close OF the afternoon
session OF the Assembly the Investi-
eating Committee, all except Chairman
Cosper, hung around for a couple Of
hours expecting him to put in an ap-
pearance, but when the shadows grew
long they tired and decided to take a
recess until 7:3O o'clock
At that hour, or shortly thereafter,
Cosper put in an appearance, but
showed no inclination to go on investi-
eating Instead, he said the meeting
was entirely unauthorized, and that
he did not call it; that, on the con-
trary he had given the members notice
that when the Sergeant-at-Arms should
have provided a room he would give
due notice, and proceed with the ex-
animation, and not until then.
At this point the Sergeant-at-Arms
stepped forward and said that the only
room in the building that could be
procured was the one they were in.
He said he had done all in his power
to get some other place. but without
avail. He had called on the Secretary
of State, and was informed that there
were no vacant apartments Now. /"
he said, IF you gentlemen want to use
the Assembly Chamber, go ahead"
Chairman Cosper SAID he fully real
lied that the Sergeant -at-Arms had
done all he could to get room, and
that he was not rejecting on him, but,
continuing:
"There will be no meeting here to-
night I have called none, and I have
made arrangements to attend another
committee meeting-that ON Education.
NY wife Is clerk OF that committee.
She Is there now, and am going there
right away"
But, Mr. Cosper,'' interposed As
semblyman Sanford, I'VE have a quo
rum here without you; why can't we
go ahead with the business II you have
another engagement? We did not call
any meeting tonight. You misunder-
stand matters. We waited all the af-
ternoon for you, and simply agreed to
gather here at 7:3O o'clock and await
your pleasure. Now we are here, and
are anxious to go ahead; we don't want
to drag this examination along for a
month"
IN the first place, you have no wit
nesses here" replied Chairman Cosper,
s.and then I gave notice that we would
not meet until the Sergeant at Arms
notified me that he had secured a room
for meeting. So there will be no
meeting here tonight, Mr.. Sanford"
At this juncture the Hon. Dan Cole
stepped forward and took part in the
confab. s.

read the second time:

The bill was read the second time.
and Doty explained that the only
change from the present law was that
exempt firemen should receive not less
than $1,000, whereas at present they
might be cut off with $1OO OF less.
Bulla said If the Act was an amend
ment to another Act it ought to show
as much in the title; OF If it repealed
another Act, that fact also ought to be
stated.

tressing to Green and disappointing to
the Assembly. It is now expected that
Green's visit will be paid on Monday
at 2:30 p. m.
PERTINENT BILLS.
Yesterday in the Assembly Dibble Of
fered two bills, apparently inspired by
the existing unpleasantness The first
amends the law forbidding the pledg-
ing of candidates, except by conven-
tions, passed at the last session of the
Legislature at his instance.
The amendment is designed to forbid
they will vote for United States Sena-
tor.
The second bill adds two new Sec
tions to the Penal Code, making 1t a
felony for any person intending to be
candidate for United States Senator,
or any person on his behalf, to advance,
give or loan money or property to a
candidate for the Legislature upon an
express or implied agreement that such
candidate for the Legislature will vote
for such person for Senator; and max
ing it felony for any candidate for
the Legislature, whether before or after
his nomination, to accept money or
property upon any such express or i'm
piled agreement.
UNIVERSITY IMPROVEMENT.
Three measures for the benefit Of the
State University were introduced yes
terday. One authorizes the insurance
of all property of the University; an
other amends what is known as ''the
University bill," and a third provides

new buildings and improvements.
A bill appropriating $4,000 for a
scientific investigation into the sources
and causes of rainfall on the Pacific
Coast under the auspices Of the Uni

which is an interesting one, is dealt
with editorially in this issue.

OLD SAWS.
Old Proverbs Don't Always Hold Good

/ Old Proverbs Don't Always Hold Good.
"Old saws are sometimes broken.
"A man convinced against his will Is
of his own opinion still ! have seen
that badly smashed. A friend came in
to see me some time ago while was
in bed with nervous prostration.
| The physician had strictly forbidden
me to use coffee and had tried ht-
tie Postum Cereal Food Coffee, but the
way it was served, it tasted so fiat that
| I broke the rules Of the doctor and oc-
casionally drank q cup OF cofIee, al
though each time l suffered for IT.
During her conversation she asked me
why I didn't try Postum. "Oh," !
said, II have tried that, but it's no
use; 1 can't drink It," She laughed
out loud and said: Why, my dear,
you have been imposed upon. If you
| once have Postum made right, you
will be in love with it from that time
on" I listened TO her with little in
terest and much incredulity, but she
kept on insisting.
| Shortly after, when 7 recovered
little, was visiting friends house,
| who asked me If I would like q cup OF
| Postum, and when it was served 1t
| tasted no better than mine had, so you
see 1 had, apparently, a most thorough
experience with the taste OF Postum,
and I know it's taste to be decidedly
! fat and insipid.
However, found for the good of my
health must drink it, and so when I
got home and was a little stronger I
determined to see If it could nor be
made to taste better. I looked at the
package carefully and found that the
directions were very plain; that the
| Postum must be allowed actual boil
| ing of at least fifteen minutes. put
lit on in cold water. 1t took about
fifteen minutes before it commenced to
| boil, then I allowed 1t to bubble and
boil fifteen minutes more, and after It
had settled I poured out cup which
certainly was as rich a dark brown
cup of coffee as I ever saw In my life,
and when cream and sugar were added
was amazed at the taste Eureka, ;"
had found what I wanted. From
that time on you can imagine knew
to a certainty when 1t was served at
the table whether Postum had been
boiled long enough or not. There is
as much difference as between night
and day. Postum underbofled Is fiat,
and boiled as it should be Is one OF the
most delicious beverages woman ever
tasted. It is strange that people try
and try again. and make Postum in
| so slovenly a manner that they fail to
get the delicious flavor from it. I, OF
course, have no temptation to go back
| to common coffee, for have the finest
coffee twice a day, and find It safe,
pleasant. healthful and strengthening to
the nerves.
