or For New York to Hear Governor
Roosevelt's Testimony.
Chicago, March 23.-The members Of
the government court of inquiry finished
their labors in Chicago yesterday and
left for New York last evening. The
testimony Of Governor Theodore Roose-
welt will there be received, after which
the court will proceed to Governors ISL
and.
The evidence adduced yesterday was
largely cumulative in its chara cter, con-
sisting mainly in criticisms of the canned
beef and refrigerated beef from soldiers
who ate it and watched it's effects IN
Cuba and Porto Rico. David Fleisch-
mann, belboy in the Hotel Morrison.
told of visit to the stock yards in the
company of an unknown man whose
purpose he supposed to be an experiment
in the matter of preserving beef by chem.
ical treatment. W. Clark Marshall. the
provision specialist whose testimony was
expected to be sensational. threw no adj
ditionAl light on the question. his evil
dence being principally the expression
of opinion that canned beef ms now put
on the market is totally unfit for human
food.
DR.. John G.. Rurne. Of Chicago, who
was assistant surgeon of the Second Hi
nois volunteers while the regiment was in
Jacksonville, stated that he had con
demncd the refrigerated beef several
times before It left the wagon which
brought it. He had also returned some
of it to the ears. taking it back In
wagons. and telling the agent of Swift &
Co. that he could not use n. He had
refused meat seven times in one month
on account Of the bad odor and bad
taste. The men complained bitterly
that they could not cat it..

A Pennsyltania Senator Wants to Drop

a fennSvltan1a senator w ants to Drop
Out the Lowest Candidates.
Harrisburg. March Ex-senator John
II. Brown, Of Westmoreland, created a
furry at yesterdays session Of the joint
assembly by offering resolution which,
if adopted, would have speedily dissolved
the senatorial deadlock. The resolution
provided that the joint assembly shall on
Tuesday and Wednesday of each week
have two joint sessions daily and from
and after yesterday the name of the can
didate having the lowest number Of
votes shall be dropped In their order
until the names of only two candidates
shall remain on the list and the ballot
shall thus continue until United States
senator shall be elected.
Representative John H. Fow, of Phila-
delphia, raised the point of order that
the resolution was out Of order, because
it contlicted with the act governing the
election Of United States senator. Be
fore Lieutenant Governor Goblin had a
chance to pass upon Mr.. Fow's point
motion to adjourn was carried, and
this ended the matter.
The vote in yesterdays ballot was:
Quay, SO; jerks, Is; Dalzell, 18; Stew
art, Z; Irwin, 4: Stone, 4; Tubbs, 2; Huff,
q; Rice, 2; Grow, /; Widener, 3; Ritter,

THE actions of Pauline Hall, the
queen of burlesque opera, have
caused the subsidized papers to
roast the little actress. This same
actress was offered $500 to open a
local theatre, but the offer was re-
fused owing to prior engagements.
The frost was on the part of the
management of the Academy of
Music and the actress was given
to understood when the engagement
was made for her appearance in
our city, that she was to play in a
reputable, not Jonah house. When
she came on the stage and saw the
Bowery audience spread out before
her, with their tough countenances
and with disposition to guy her
when she stepped on the stage, it
was more than she could stand and
she informed the Academy manage
ment that she would not carry out
her engagement of appearing on
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings,
and as consequence, the house was
closed on these two evenings. Every
theatre goer who knows anything,
knows that Pauline Hall has played
before the very best audiences
all over the country and to crowded
houses. Her ability as an actress
is beyond question and the writer
who says she has been used to ap-
pearing on the Bowery in New York
utters what he knows is an untruth.
It is not the actress that has been
at fault, but the fame of the Acad-
envy, which is beginning to be known
all over the country among the the
atrical profession.

COMPETITION is the life Of trade.
This was never better illustrated
than when the Delmarvia Telephone
Company started inoppositicn to the
Delaware and Atlantic Telephone
Company. The telephone rates i'm
mediately dropped one-half and the
new company has now more phones
in than the old company,Nwith the
demand ahead of the supply. Mr..
Thomas McCorkle, the manager,
says that It will not be long before
the Delmarvia will have long dis
lance connections with all the out
side cities and towns.
