WASHINGTON May 22.-JJhn D..
Lindsey attorney for Charles P. Nelly.
appeared before the house judiciary
committee to-day and submitted an ar
gumant against the proposed extradl-
ton BIN. He also presented yolumin-
Gus brief. The proposition TO subject
an American citizen to trial in a country
where Spanish system Of laws are in
vogue, he contended. was utterly OPP
posed to American traditions. The
fundamental theory at the base OF cur
system. he said, assumed man placed
In Naely's position TO be innocent until
competent and legal evld lnce was aa-
duced to prove him guilty, THIS fun
damcntal principle. he claimed, was
iiouted by the Spanish law, which was
based ON the old Latin system and as
sumed nan guilty as soon as charged.
Could Only be Tried in this Country.
The burden of proof was placed upon
him. Mr.. Lindsey was closely question
ed By members Of the committee. He
claimed that Nelly could only be tried
in the United States ana only upon tue
charge of violating a law making 1t n
felony to bring in the United States
money embezzled from the United
States, The funds in the custody OF tae
United States" though the properly Oh
the island of Cuba. were assumed by
law TO be the property OF the United
States.
That was the statute upon which
Nelly was arrested Mr.. Lindsey said.
The penalty for the violation OF this
Law, he continued, was imprisonment
for from six months to iive years. Mr.
Lindsey said the proceeding pending be-
fore Governor Roosevelt In the requisi-
ton from Governor General Wood for
N-ely's. surrender was for the purpose
Of trying him under section 4Ol OF the
Penal Code. OF Cuba. That section liked

day to twelve years for malveraation.
Be Placed in Dungeon.
Mfr. Lindsey saIa he understood that
conviction for violating this statute car
lied with 1t provision for shacSlng the
prisoner and combining him in dun
geon. He argued that 1t was impossi-
BILE for an American citizen to obtain
a fair trial In Cuba at this time.
The fact that Neely can be tried in
the United States he claimed was
rouulttp reason Why he should NOT be
taken to Cuba.
Mr.. Lanham, member of the COM
mlttaa. said that 1t would be almost i'm
possible TO identify stolen funds and
that therefore IL tried under this statute
It would be obligatory upon thr United
States to prove that he embeZzled the
Identical funds brought to the United
states
s"CertalHIy 1t would" replied Mr..
Lindsey
Would it not be impossible for the
United States to prove ,they were the
identical funds? Suppose the embez-

Iprayed for health all the time, and my prayers were answered as soon as I began taking this celebrated Eng. fish expectorant and tonic. Since my re. covcry l have told hundreds of sufferers from coughs, colds and weak lungs that Acker's English Remedy would cure them. Some of them won't try it, and it does seem to me terrible when anyone deliber. ately refuses to be cured. There ought to be law compelling consumptives to take it.

His Fathers Seat.

The honored father of Hon. Emmett
Tompkins was Hon. Cydnor Tompkins,
in his lifetime one of the political for
ces of Morgan county, says the Ohio
State Journal. He was elected to rep
resent the old Sixteenth congressional
district in the thirtv-fith and thirty
sixth congress, 1861. and made an
enviable record. He served with such
men as Vallandingham, Cox, Campbell,
Sherman, Lawrence, Bingham, Gid
dings and others. His son has an am
bition to secure the identical seat occu-
pied by his father when a member of
the congress forty years ago. 81 recall
mighty we'll where it was" said Mr..
Tompkins. "It was in the middle
aisle, the fourth seat, and l could go to
1t this minute. When a mere lad
spent some time with my father in
Washington, and in those days the
families of the members had privileges
on the floor which / was not slow in
taking advantage of. l know exactly
where the seat is. and / should like to
have it, for memory's and old associa-
tion's sake. If for no other reason. but

One naturally thinks of the Supreme
Court of the United States as a body of
very solemn old gentlemen, clad in
silk robes, who go through life op-
pressed with the dignity of their posi-
tion and the burden of the questions
they are called upon to decide. They
are nothing of the kind. Take them at
lunch every day for instance. The
gatherings around the table of the Eft
rick shepherd did not afford half the
wit and sarcasm which enlivens the
lunch-table talk of the Supreme court
judges. They assemble in a room just
off the main corridor of the capital,
nearly opposite the Supreme court
chamber, promptly at / O'Clock every
day, adjouring court for the purpose,
and close the shutters of the window
which opens out upon the balcony, so
that the curious world shall neither
see nor hear The table is spread in
dainty fashion. and while the judges
satisfy the inner man, they tell stories
and crack jokes at each others expense.
Justice Brewer is the wittiest member
of the party, while Justice Peckham is
the most sarcastic. Chief Justice Full
Ter is the best story teller. while JUS
tice Harlan would monoDolize the con-
yersation, If the court would let him

Candle Decoration.

Like many other quaint accessory
of our forefaJhers. the candle is again
coming into vogue, not only as an
article of household necessity, but as
means of beautifying the home,
drawing room candles now being con-
sidered an almost indispensable factor
of decoration for the five o'clock tea,
the dinner part, or formal reception.
OF course the candle of modern make,
with its rich veneer of color, is a far
different product than the old tallow
dip with its ill-smellng smoke that
taxed the eyes of our ancestors. The
decorative candle of today Is an accur-
ately proportioned stick of pure paraf-
fine that burns with a light as clear
ard white as the gleam of the eve
ming star. Clothed in tinted shade
of shimmering silk or even paper, it
enhances the beauty of a room or
able hundred fold.
From the custom of decorating the
IL use W Illl CGiiulCo hho Spi ui9 tiS
present day fad of decorating candles
with appropriate designs. There is no
end to the beautiful effects and sug
gestive emblems with which candle
can be ornamented. little paint, a
small brush, and a gift of originality
being the only requisites to success
Every holiday can be made the sub
iect of emblematic designs, while ev
cry dinner party or function has many
special features that can be illustrat
ed on the candles.
At some Of the select functions Civ
en- in New York City recently the dec
orations on the candles were master
pieces of artistic skill, greatly admired
and sought after by the guests many
of whom are collectors of decorated
| candles.
The fact that in nearly every family
there is someone with more or less
artistic ability makes candle decora
ton a popular pastime, and it is mo-
surprising that candle parties are a.
popular as birthday parties. For those
| who have not the time or do not care
| to take the trouble to do the worl
themselves, candles already beautifully
decorated can be secured at the shops

WASHINGTON STORIES


Senator Mason owns cow--a fna
black COW with glossy horns and SLEEK
sides. The COW is the, prominent dec
oration of the front yeard of Senator
Mason's home in Mount Pleasant. a.
the head Of Fourteenth street, says the
Washington Post"
1t is not exactly suburban residence
which Senator Mason occupies, but 1t
is big double house of ancient and
commodious fashion, which stands in
themidst of more modern structures.
Its chief attraction is an enormous
yard, and on the grassy lawn Senator
Mason's black COW is tethered. 1t
grazes all day and at night is led to the
barn. Huge buckets of milk, with
cream. several inches thick. testify to
the industry of the COW.
Senator Mason bought the animal
some days ago and did not let the
owner know he was a Senator for fear
of having to pay considerable more
than the animal was worth. When
the deal had been concluded the farmer
suggested that the COW had a calf and
he wanted to know what was to be
done with it, Senator Mason thought
a moment. We'll" he said. 81 don't
want calf, but I suppose the COW will
feel badly if she is separated from the

And, so. to keep the COW from sor.

Civilization and Soap.

Winston Churchhill remarked the
other day. upon his arrival at New
York, that after having travelled over
a considerable portion of the world and
having observed the habits of various
peoples, he had come to the conclusion
that the Anglo-Saxon race owed its
superiority to the fact that it washed
He said that wherever he had met Am
'ericans or Englishmen he found them
great on the scrub and the tub, and he
could not help but conclude that they
owed their commanding position in the
world largely to this fact. Thus 1t will
be seen that Mr.. Churchill banks large
ly on the doctrine of condolences. He
finds people who are disposed to have
themselves laundered at frequent in
tervals; he finds that they are large
consumers of soap, and at the same
time, finding that these same people are
doing nretty well in the world, he de-
duces the theory that the man with the
soap is the winner.
Now there are those who reason that
the Anglo-Saxons have prospered in
the world because they have been han
dy with their guns and have been bet
ter hands at killing match than some
Of the people whom they have gone
against. There has been a theory
evolved that their prosperity and their
position in the world has been due to
their lawyers, who have framed the
form of government. There are some
who will contend that the superiority
of that portion of the race which re-
mains in England has been winner
because of roast beef. 1t is possible
to bring some very strong arguments
to bear in favor of anv of these the
ores, and, in fact, in favor of innumer-
able others. Some attribute the domi-
nance to the manner of collecting the
public revenues and others TO the pop
ular brand of religion.
