ROBERTS NOT A CITIZEN.
Carlisle's Opinion--Defcndnnt Said There
Was No Direct Testimony Of
Polygamous Relations.

Polygnmous Relations.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-The Roberts
investigating committee continued its
session. Miss Roberts, daughter of the
Utah member.elect, sat near him.
Chairman Tayler of Ohio stated that he
had received from ex Secretary John G.
Carlisle letter giving his views on the
case. He said in part:
1.-THE record OF Roberts application
and admission to citizenship does not
comply with the law, as l understand
it, and do not think he would be al
lowed to vote III any state upon cer-
titicate based upon that record.
HE is at this very moment polyga-
mist, not having at any time abandoned
or renounced the relation assumed by
tho plural marriages and cohabitation
with the alleged wives Is not at all me-
cessary. The question, therefore, is
whether the committee will decide OH
the question OF final right that an un-
doubted polygamist who justifies the
doctrine and practices of polygany
shall be allowed to hold seat In the
house."
In the argument which Roberts read
In his own behalf, he declared he pos.
sessed all the constitutional require.
ments. He was questioning the evi-
denco OF somesof the witnesses, when
Chairman Tayler objected, but Dear.

he said at one point, "that b. II. Rob.

Chairman Tayler.

As to the testimony that he had ut.

said, not remarkable. There was moth

A NEW SLEEPING-.C CAR
Is Called the "Ordinary" and Cuts
the Price Just Half.
The Only Difference Between Them
md the "Standard" Is That the
New Conches Are Upholstered
in Cane Instead of Plush.

With the establishment Of the "ordi-
nary" sleeping car by the Pullman com
many on the Baltimore q Ohio railroad
n mild revolution has doubtless been
started in night railway travel. II the
innovation proves as satisfactory as ex-
pected the new sleeper will shortly APP
pear on almost every railroad in the
limited States. The Pullman company
Is so certain Of the success of the or
binary" that 20 of the cars have already
been finished and 20 more are nearing
completion.
The "ordinary" is so called TO distin-
guish it from slecpers used heretofore,
which will hereafter be known as
standard" sleepers. The Ordinary"
simply cuts the rate Of the standard"
squarely in two. The "ordinary" is an
addition to the service Of the railroad
and does not displace the STANDARD"
which will he continued and the same
rates charged upon it as in the past.
Tho same train that carries the stand
ard" will carry the "ordinary.' The
Baltimore e Ohio train from Chicago
to Pittsburgh will have a standard, on
which the passenger will pay $3.50, and
an ordinary, on which the charge will
be but S1.25. In all cases the ordinary
rate will be half that OF the standard,
excepting when the standard charge is
| less than two dollars. The minimum
fare on the ordinary will be one dol
lar. The road has added eight OF the
new coaches to its trains, running them
between Chicago and Pittsburgh and
between Baltimore and Newark, o.,
and providing for all night travel be-
tween these points.
The ordinary coach in all essential
points Is Just as comfortable in every
way as the standard, the only difference
being that it Is not finished so lux
uriously or extensively. 1t is the same
In length, breadth and height and on
the exterior the appearance is about
the same. The car is fitted with IA
berths, the same as the largest stand
ard cars, and each berth Is fitted with
bedding Of the same quality and guam
tity as a berth in n standard. The in
terror Of the car is finished in birch
and the car seats are upholstered with
cane instead Of the plush used in the
standard. There is no smoking-room
for gentlemen, but as in the standard
the ends of the coach are devoted TO
the Mushrooms for ladies and gentle
men. The absence Of the smoking
room and the presence OF the rattan
upholstery strike the casual observer
as the only differences between the two
styles of sleepers. They are lighted
and heated just the same and have the
same porter service. There are some
accommodations in the ordinary which
the standard does not possess. Near
one end of the ordinary there is an ar
rangemeDt connecting with the heat
er for warming the luncheons OF those
who wish to bring their own refresh
ments on the train. Near at hand is a
stationary stand for washing dishes.

About this farm house door

Borne now on memory's wings,
Fond memories without regret
That childhood only brings.
Impressions time cannot erase,
And sadly now ! come

That once called my home.
When life, az a calm summers day,
Meath a cloudless sky
Went gayly as the waters play
IN the stream nearby.

And where they're flowing yet

That holds US surely bound,
As down life's rugged stream we siiue

That sparkles at my feet
While its gentle murmurinss seem

Would ! could feel again the JOY
That ripping waters gave
Could sport once more, Il truant boy,
And in thy bosom lave.
Again, upon thy pebbled bed,
With pointed arrow strike
The mulltt and the hOrney head,
The suufsh and the pike.
But time and tide ne'er wait for man
Those happy days are gone.
As goes our ever heeting span,
And with them lile's gay morn.
The stately elm still stands erect,
DER shadowing the brook,
IS if It's GOODNESS to protect
And in its mirror look.
While silently it seems 10 tell
OF joys long forgot,
And stands a giant sentinel
TO guard the sacred spot.
While sad emotions fill my'breast
wander here alone
Where are the dear ones Of the past?
Alas. they too have gone. -.
Some still journey Oh the road,
Though YEARLY they tread,
But most have reached their long abod'
In the city Of the dead.
And we're lust waiting on this side,
For ere long we must each
Cross the rivers chilling tide
