Senator Clarke, who followed in support
of the adoption of the resolution, did not
confine himself TO any legal argument as
TO the right of the legislature TO demand
the production of the auditors books and
records, but insisted that the legislature
wanted to know as 20 the conduct of af-
fairs in the auditors office and whether
exhorbitant bills had been allowed. con-
Guiding with violent attack upon the at
torney general.
Senator Huston submitted that under the
organic act the legislature had no power
to go outside of matters concerning its
own members. resolving itself into jul
dicial committee and exercise the powers
OF the courts.
Senator Thacker without declaring his
attitude on the matter under consideration,
argued in favor of more time for delibera-
ton, urging that a serious question of leg
islative authority and power was involved
and that the council should proceed care
fully.
Senator Biddison contended that the pro-
posed investigation was necessary and
that the legislature had the right to inform
itself in order to make appropriations for
the different departments.
Senator Hutto regretted having to bring
into the argument the motives actuating
the investigation, but he held it to be his
duty to call attention to the omission of
the auditors letter from the resolution,
which was marked Exhibit D. but for
some reason it was not attached. That let
ter, he said. explained the auditors reas-
on for refusing to produce the documents
Of his Office before the committee but
strangely enough it had not been submit
ted for the information of the council
along with the other exhibits. He in
sisted that this was not a grand jury but
q legislative body. and that the charges
brought against Auditor Hopkins prCHerly
belonged to a grand jury.
At the close of Senator Hutto's remarks
Senator Bellamy moved that the council
adjourn until Monday afternoon, and the
motion carried with only a few scattering
noes.

A COTTON PLANT.
The story of One shown ON tbs
York Exchange.

The story of One shown on tbs
York Exchange.
There is a story still told to vi
to the New York Cotton Exc.
which always amuses it's tellers quite
as much as it's hearers. 1t concerns q
very superb specimen of the cotton
plant which was brought into the ex-
change one October morning years ago
and placed in the center Of the pit
around which gather every day the
men who buy and sell millions Of bales
Of the white staple every month.
There had been bad weather in Tex
as that season, with reports of irrep-
arabic damage to the crop, but this
superb plant, laden with bolls through
out its six feet of height and coming,
as it did, from Waco, In the most i'm
portant cotton section of the Lone Star
State, was exhibited as conclusive
proof that the stories of a ruined crop
were certainly false. All New York s
big cotton operators came to look at
1t and to admire it, and most Of them
remained to sell few thousand bales.
IF that Ia what Waco can produce"
they said, "the Texas crop alone will
be big enough to put cotton down q
cent or two per pound"
Late in the day, however, there
strolled into the exchange a shrewd
old farmer from one of the cotton
states east Of the Mississippi. He had
heard of six foot cotton plantS from
Texas, and he wanted to see one. A
single look at this specimen was sufR-
Gent
"Humbug," he said THAT plant is
made Of wax, and it grew in South
Fifth avenue"
And 80 1t proved. The hoax had
demonstrated what its authors assert
ed, that very few people in New York,
even among cotton brokers, would
know cotton plant If they saw one

Should you be reposing in summer in
a meadow and a grasshopper happens
to jump on you by no means drive
him away. Welcome and cherish him,
which is best done by perfect qui-
escence.
Whether his usual merry disposition
or his blithe hopping over all sorts of
difficulties has any association with
the notion we know not, but the popu-
larity of the grasshopper is ancient
and distinguished enough, the Greek
species having been fayorites with all
the poets from Homer and Hesiod to
Anacreon and Theocritus. So much
did the Athenians admire them that
they were accustomed to fasten golden
figures of them in their hair, and they
were always addressed by the most
endearing epithets. The sound of the
grasshopper is always welcome and
naturally Of good omen, abiding, as 1t
were, to summer and sunshine.-Gen-
ueman's Magazine.

A Tough, Tough Fish.

Fish seem to have no sense of feel
ing, and many people believe that the
angry and energetic movements of q
fish when it is caught are due rather to
annoyance at losing It's liberty than to
any sense of pain. can confirm this,
because have over and over again
taken an understood pike that has been
once or twice caught and put back into
the water.
Upon one occasion three of us-boys
Of the Old brigade-were fishing in q
small pool in narrow, sluggish river.
Jones caught small pike, and as it
was understood, being barely four
pounds, he cut the hooks out of its gull
let and threw the fish In again. Inside
of 80 seconds Jones caught the same
fish again. Once more he cut out the
hooks, and this time he had to maui it
very much. Once more it was kicked
In.
Then caught 1t, still bleeding. l got
the hooks out with difficulty, and be-
fore l could throw the fish in again a
terrier dog bit it half through. Then
kicked the fish in, and Brown caught
it. At last we got so tired of catching
this fish that threw it away in dis
gust. 1t caught in the fork of willow
tree and staid there for half an hour,
when crow attacked it, dislodging it
from the tree, but not before 1t had re-
moved one of the eyes. The selfsame
fish was caught next day by the keep
er.-Fishing Gazette.

Mrs. Clarence Burns, who is so well
known for her philanthropic work,
says that in all her experience in visit
Ing the tenements of the poor of the
city she has never been asked for aims.
Mrs. Burns has made business of Wis
iting the poor with the hope of helping
them whenever she saw the need, but
finds it almost impossible to make the
really deserving poor acknowledge that
they are in need of anything.
One day she visited a family who
were all huddled together In one bare,
cold room. and their faces were so
pinched she knew they were starving.
But In response to her offer to help
them the mother said:
mo, thank you. The children have
had something today l am sure to get
work soon'
After questioning as to just exactly
what the children had had to eat Mrs.
Burns found that they had subsisted
for three days on a few dried scraps Of
stale bread. This experience, she says,
is repeated frequently.-New York
Tribune.
