terday was replaced by a ruddy glow
though there were signs that he was
suffering occasionally excruciating
twinges. Still his genialfty and good
humor did not diminish.
After brief adjournment NJ. Labori
asked that three letters addressed by
Esterhazy to the president OF the re-
public should be read. They were read
and then Gen. Gonse said he desired 10
reply TO Esterhazy's statements.
During the course of his observations
the general said Esterhazy's allegation
that he was the right-hand man OF the
Z, neral staff was absolutely false. The
Mont Souris interview, Gonse continu.
ed, occurred in July, 1898. But" he
added. las Maj. Du Patty de Clam and
Lieut. Col. Henry left Gen. De Boisdef-
fire and myself in the dark in regard
TO their movements 1t was only by
chance heard OF IL from M. Gribeln.
An anonymous letter received in Octo-
ber 1897, announced that campaign
was being organized against Esterhazy.
IL was proposed TO send Esterhazy an
anonymous letter telling him 10 keep
quiet and do nothing. but the minister
OF war refused TO sanction IT,"

Lee Wing Arrested on Civil suIt for Rent as HI
Was Leaving.

Lee Wing, a Chinaman. who for a
long time has kept laundry on Broad
street, was arrested on a civil writ by
Deputy Sheriff Andres last evening.
Wing had as landlord one Barden of
North Attleboro, and the landlord heard
his tenant had made arrangements for
a departure from the 81 ate. For one
reason or another business had not
been good with Wing and he deter
mined to take advantage of a good
business offer he obtained from Eastern
Massachusetts. Wing did net tell his
landlord that he was going to leave,
but the landlord found the fact out
nevertheless and determined to get the
$40 If possible that Wing owed him.
Mr.. Barden had to work quick after
he heard that Wing was going and as
IL was Wing got his ticket all right and
got aboard the train. Just before the
train started Deputy Sheriff Andres
rushed through the car looking as he
said for Chlnaman. Wing protested
and kicked vigorously against being
taken from the train. The deputy
sheriff had the most strength and Wing
spent the night at the county court
house lie had not received bail at
late hour this afternoon.

Devoid Of Truth.

The general positively maintained
Esterhazy was never instructed in re-
gard TO what he should say at the in
qury conducted by Gen. Pelleux. and
Gonse added that the assertions OF Es-
terhazx- ON this subject were utterly de-
void of truth.
The general was convinced Du Patty
de Clam was only connected with Pic
late Lieut.-Col. Henry and NOT with
Esterhazy. In conclusion, Gen. Gonse

Signs are for some peculiar reason
used in barber shops in one part of the
city quite largely. though the BARRIERS
there as Is the custom of trade keep
the attention or customers by remarks
on the weather politics and other di-

are quite odd as one announces that
Shaving with sea foam costs but 10
cents. while in another shop a sign
reads Hair Singing a speciality" The
former shop has the usual supply of
razors and the owner of the shop where
the second sign is does not neglect

Steel Mast VIII Not Be Stepped Until After
She Has Been on WAYS.

Everything aboard the Columbia this
forenoon was i'm readiness at Bristol for
her mast TO be taken out. but a delay
developed through necessity for heavier
blocks on the derrick Of the steamer
Archer, which was to be used in the
work of unstepping the mast. Her rig
ging was coiled up and there will be
very little delay In accomplishing the
change when the Archer is i'm shape.
The Defender was lowered from the
ways this forenoon and her mainsail
was bent soon after she was afioat. At
noon she lay off the harbor and IL was
expected that she would go down TO
Newport during the afternoon. Colum-

sixty miles from Fort Washable, the
mine was originally located, and it has
probably not Travelled far from there
in the last few years. Five men
found it first in 1874. They left the
fort full of hope to prospect for gold.
Three weeks later one returned ragged.
starved and crazy. He could only re-
peat six words, but these ne said over
and over again. until he died. ravlng
mad, month later. Those words
were Lots of dust in Lost Cabin. He
had several large nuggets to bear out
his words. Expeditions set out at

either men or mine. Ten years after
ward q cowboy. lost in the desert,
found a rotted cabin and four skele-
tons lying in the doorway. A print

gold. Half the best prospectcrs in the
west have tried to solve the riddle. but
he desert guards its secret well.
