JONES AMPLFIES HIS STORY
FURTHER DETAILS OF THE MUIR
DER or FMILLIONAIRE RICE.
Recite9 by the va!etsWith the Same Re-
marknbIe Exhibition of Goodness and
Nerye-Admits ON Cross Exn M I'M ton
That He Expects to f1scape Electric
Chair by Telling the whole Truth.

| New York, April 3.--Charles f. Jones,
the valet of William Marsh Rice, the
aged millioaire, who according to Jones'
confession yesterday, was murdered by
Jones himself in September last, finish
ed his testimony on direct examination
yto-day in the proceedings before Justice
Jerome, charging Albert r. Patrick with
murder. The story Of the murder and
conspiracy which Jones outlined on
Tuesday he to-day filled in with q
wealth of detail and with the same re-
markable exhibition of coolness and
nerve.
According to the story told by Jones
on the stand he and Patrick had drawn
up a bogus will and were waiting for
old man Rice to die when mill burned
down in Texas. Rice's connections
there desired to rebuild it and he spoke
of advancing the 100000 or $125, 900 re-
quired to replace the burned property.
Patrick told me to use all my infiu-
ence," said Jones to-day, with Rice not
to rebuild the mill, as this would take
c.
But Rice insisted on advancing the
money and authorized draft Of $25,-
600 from one of his correspondents in
Texas. Word of the draft arrived in
New York on Saturday and then Pat
rick said, testified Jones, that he
would have to do something to get Rice
out of the way before the draft was
presented"
There was one point to-day at which
it was confidently expected Jones would
give some sign of emotion. 1t was
down. This was when he was asked
about the effort he had made at suicide
in the tombs, but expectation was again
He told of Patrick's sug-
gestion that he, Jones, take the blame
for the conspiracy and murder; of his
refusal to do SO, and then said calmly
that Patrick handed him knife, and of
the attempt at suicide, showing no
more feeling than on the day before,
when he told how he chloroformed his
helpless benefactor.
But it was on cross examination that
the interest Of the day was centered.
Robert E. Moore, Patrick's lawyer, felt
along the outline of Jones' last story,
out in strong relief the CONTRA
lictions as against the former state
nents made by the valet and then kept
the electric chair in the mind of the
man on the witness stand, who an
,wered everything as calmly and quietly
Us if the thing was merely a perfume
.ory rehearsal. Then the point of the
question came out when Jones admitted
hat he hoped by telling his present
story to escape the death penalty for
murder. He had gathered from his
awyer, he said, who had talked with
District Attorney Osborne that if he
lid tell the whole truth some measure
# consideration would be shown him.
This and his conscience, he said. in
Iuced him to admit his guilt Of murder. |
f Jones was undisturbed by the situa-
ion in which he found himself he had |
% advantage over Patrick, who showed |
10 evidence of being disturbed by the
tatements made by the witness.

to-day to a representative Of The As

expressed himself as anxious to learn
more regarding the American system

Justice Arellano to enlighten him. The
chief justice carefully explained the va

Taft, and showed him what provisions

Listening with deep interest, Aguin-
aldo finally exclaimed: II Iever be-
lieved the Americans would be so fair

was over he agreed to take the oath of
allegiance, and this was Immediately

Senior Arellano says "Aguinaldo's
action will induce all the insurgents to
surrender, and I predict that the ISL

June. Aguinaldo is eager to visit the

him ON the subject of holding office he
replied that he had no desires in that

Paris
hiffOnie

A great cutlery is being made in
Paris at the abolition of the dust bins
and the Inauguration of a municipal
system of rubbish collecting. The noisy
protest comes from 10000 "chiffoniers''
who will be thrown out of employment
by the Introduction of modern sys-
TENS of sanitation. For many, many
generations the c~hiffonier of Paris has
been one of the institutions of the
French capital; but now he must go,
10000 strong as he is. ''Ragpicker" is
our word for "chiffonier,' but in real
ity the chiffonier devotes but a small
part of his energy to picking up rags.
In the refuse bins from which he gath
ers his treasures he delights more to
find old sardine boxes or tins in which
canned food once reposed. From the
tin the little toys are made which de-
light the hearts of the children and
are sold On the b~oulevards for a cent
apiece; and from the solder are man
ufactured little toy soldiers. Old tin
cans are the chiffoniers' staple COM

A Newspaper Fleet
Peculiar Feature of the spanish-Amerioan War

Within a few days after the destruc-
ton of the Maine, correspondents from
all parts of the country were rushed
TO the scene of the disaster. The ews
reading public demanded every posi-
BILE item of, information regarding the
affair, the grave import of which was
Immediately appreciated. But the
Spanish officials soon instituted a e n
sorship so rigorous that very little in
formation percolated through the cable
from Havana. To cope with the situa-
ton the New York Journal devised the
plan of having it's dispatches sent by
boat from the Cuban coast to Key
West, where they were put upon the
wires and sent direct to the newspaper
offices. The other papers were not slow
to adopt this plan, and soon a large
fleet of tugs, yachts, and small steam
ers were plying between the island
and United States territory. This was
the beginning of the first fleet of news
gathering vessels ever assembled. At
the height of the wal the New York
Journal had a fleet of eight sea-goins
craft in commission, and the cost alone
of maintaining these vessels amounted
to more than $4,000 per day. The other
New York papers had fleets approach
ing this in size, and the number of
craft engaged in the work of news
gathering at one time amounted to
nearly one hundred. The work of fol-
lowing the movements of the squad
rons under command of acting Rear
Admiral Sampson and Commodore
Schley, and of attempting to locate the
whereabouts of the fleet sent across
the Atlantic by the Spanish govern
ment, afforded plenty of occupation for
all these press boats and for the scores
of correspondents that they carried.
Manifestly the only way to be absolute
ly certain of obtaining all the news
was to keep track not only of the large
fleets, but also of the detached vessels
which were sent along the coast for
patrol duty, and the newspaper boats
had to make daily trips to Key West
in order to put their dispatches upon
the cable. To patol a coast line as
great as that of Cuba (the island is
over one hundred miles long,, and to
know every event of Importance taking
place within its limits, was an ex-
tremely difficult matter. The plan
adopted by most of the press represen-
tatives was to follow up the fleet, keep
ing the flagship in sight until a bonn
bardment or some other event of news
Importance took place; then to make a

WronGful Use Of CbeckS.

One of the largest national banks
in Cleveland, Ohio, recently announced
that it would no longer keep blank
checks on the desk and counters in
the lobby of the bank, as all banks
have been in the custom of doing. The
officials of the bank decided that the
custom was an unwise one, and one
which a in very many cases led to
annoyance and ever loss of money. On
the surface the matter seems to be UNI
important, but according to state
ments made by several Boston bank
ers, the fact is that the continual dis
play of blank checks has long been
disliked by practically all of the bank
ers in the country, and many discus
sions have taken place as to the ad-
visibility and feasibility of discontinue
ing the practice. A prominent Boston
bank president says in this connec-
ton: "By keeping numbers of checks
on desks and counters throughout
through the trouble, and sometimes
the loss, due to %forgeries. 1t is by no
means an uncommon practice OF for
gers to enter a bank, ostensibly on
business, and among numerous de-
positors of the bank stand at a desk
where there are blank checks with
the headings Of that particular bank.
They help themselves to some of the
checks and slip out with them unab-
served. The result is that in a DAY or
two a worthless check is presented at
the bank for payment. The signature
of a depositor may have been forged,
and the check presented at the bank
that it was drawn on; or, the check
may have been presented TO some mer-
chant and cashed by him. In that
case, the merchant deposited the check

the native explanation of the custom.
No sacrifice is considered too great to
secure the all-important husband. In
China you can generally pick out the
"unappropriated blessings" by the
knot of hair they wear on the side
of the head and the locks on either
cheek. When a lady becomes engaged
these are pinned up by the ":hairpin
of women" as a Chinese writer calls
it. The method Chinese ladies have
of doing the back hair is often very
elaborate, as will be noticed in the
coifures of a Foochow or a Hinghua
woman. In China marriages are made
at the marriage agents. The Celes-
tial Adonis, when he would go wooing
is, above all things, business like. He

Many a good fellow has been arrest
ed in this city as a joke, put up by his
best friends through the medium OF a
complaisant cop" says the New York
Press. None of us cares to confess 1t,
but all have bought the necessary and
customary bottle. A few days ago in
Park row, near Pearl street, a group
of Divverites, thinking to nave fun
with a lonely-looking farmer, u
the policeman on the beat to arrest
him. The intention was to have a
good laugh on the old man, then treat
him to whatever he wanted and let
him go. But the officer caught a Tar
tar. The hayseed knew a thing or two,
and made the liveliest kind Of protest,
even going so far as to hreaten to
"break' the cop for laying hands on
him. This frightened the entire party,
who expected a scare with hair on
end and a fearful pleading. The police
man, realizing his mistake, released
the countryman and started to walk
away, but the latter caught hold of
him, exclaiming, with fire in his eye:
Nav, nav, nav! Ye don't fur a
cent! I'm under arrest. You haven't
the power to release me. You've got
to take me to the station house. You
come along here and lay hands on me,
who hasn't committed no offense

Woman Runs a Canal Boat
Her Son and Daughter Assist in
Manning the Craft V e "

A good deal of attention was attract
ed to a canal boat that was tied UP in
Newtown Creek, N. Y, the other day.
The reason was that the captain was
a woman. She is Mrs. Sarah Stanton
and her daughter, her son and a hired
man make UP her crew. The boat is
the R. w. Potter of Whitehall, N. Y.
Mrs. Stanton is a woman of about so.
Her husband died about five years ago
and she then took charge of the boat.
While she was preparing to discharge
the boats cargo of lumber last week
a couple of longshoremen went up to
her and said that they would do the
job for 40 cents a thousand feet. She
replied that they wanted too much and
that she would take charge of unload
ing it herself. She sent her daughter
down into the hold of the boat to pass
the lumber UP to her son, who was on
the wharf, and he handed it to the
hired man, who did the piling. It did
