Flammarion. the astronomer. proposes
Of Mars by reproducing an outline of the
luminous points of the Great Bear by
great electric lights. BY placing these
lights at Bordeaux. Marseilles, Strasburg,
Paris, Amsterdam. Copenhagen ana
Stockholm, the points Of the constellation
would be closely copied. Should the scieu-
fists Of Mars see this they would probably
respond by tracing an outline OF some
constellation IN points of Hight on their
planet. when they have done this Flam-
marion says intercommunicauon between
the planets would have been begun.

An accident that had in it the elements
OF both bad and good luck occurred IN
Huntington, w. Va, the other day. Tile
bad luck feature lay in the fact that
man fell under the wheels of a train and
had both of his legs cut off. The good
luck appears IN that the man had in his
pocket an accident insurance policy for q
round sum of money that would have ex-
pired In one hour and forty minutes after
the time Of the accident; and he had not
intended TO renew It.

Assuming that the statement made by
Contractor Hobson is true. Capt. King,
a contracting quartermaster, in charge of
government work at Fort Morgan, Ala,
occupies a very uncomfortable position
Mr.. Hobson has contract for erecting
government buildings at Fort Morgan,
and Capt. King is the government in
spector at that place. According to Mr..
Hobson's story Capt King began reject
ing building material on the ground that
it did not come up to Specifications. When
Mr.. Hobson visited the work-his office
being in Washington-he was told by
Capt King that the material would be
used provided he would pay to the lat
ter 5000. They finally agreed upon 81. 600.
Two payments of $500 each were made,
when a government detective appeared
on the scene. It seems that the govern
ment suspected that Capt. King was not
straight in his dealings. The detective
told Mr.. Hobson that If he would furnish
any evidence he had in his possession
against Capt. King he would be held
blameless in the event case were made
against the Captain.
MIR. Hobson marked the 81 900 yet due
Capt King and paid it to him. The Cap
tain was then arrested and the marked
money found on him. The case seems to
be clear one, though it is but charita-
BILE to assume that there may be an ex-
PLANTATION. Capt. King refuses to make
any statement, contenting himself with
the assertion that he is innocent.
This case has some little local interest
from the fact that Capt. Carter, convict.
ed of a conspiracy to rob the government
in connection with the government work
in Savannah river, has always insisted
that he is innocent, but has never ex-
planned satisfactorily where he got the
very large amount of money alleged to
have been traced to his possession. 1t is
true that Capt. Carter stated that his
father-in-law gave him the money he
possessed, but his father-in-law has de-
MED on the witness stand that he gave
him any such amounts of money as ne
is known to have spent or TO have in
his possession.
Capt. Carter is as positive in the asser-
ton of his innocence now as he was when
first accused. The marked money. how
ever does not seem 20 leave any room for
doubt in the case OF Capt. King. A state
ment as to how he came to accept $1,000
from Contractor Hobson would be re-
ceived by the public with lively interest

AN INTERESTING INVESTIGATION.

The investigation in New York City,
that is being conducted by Tammany
Hail Committee, of the charges that vice
is protected in that city, is growing de-
cidedly interesting. The chairman of the
committee has made a statement in which
he says that gambling and other vices are
protected, and that the gamblers and 9th
ers pay pretty nearly 100000 year for
the protection they receive. There is
regular schedule of charges. Each one
who violates the law for the UNFOLDING Of
morality knows the fee he must pay each
month. If he doesn't pay promptly he
has to go out of business.
The chairman of the committee how
ever, says that neither Mr.. Croker nor
any other man that directs the affairs of
Tammany ever received a dollar of this
money. No money is ever collected from
the keepers of places of vice for political
purposes.
1t seems, however, that somebody in
authority must get share of the hush
money or else the vices would not be per-
mitted to flourish. 1t is not reasonable
to suppose that those who have the power
to close such places would permit them
to continue their business If they did not
benefit from them in some way.
According to the New York papers evil
dence against a Tammany State Senator,
two Tammany district leaders and a num-
Der of high police officials is to be pre-
scented to the grand jury. 1t may be that
if the Tammany Committee Is thorough
in its work it will yet discover that some
body high in authority is back of those
who, it is alleged, have been blackmailing
the keepers of gambling and disorderly
houses. No doubt the police have got
their share of the hush money, but there
would be no hush money If those who
have more power than the police were
not also getting a share of the money.

The Philadelphia Record propounds two
questions which ought to be given the
most distinguished consideration by the
Republican press and politicians OF Penn
sylvania, who are continually prating
about the political wickedness Of the
South, as follows: IF the Southern
States are TO be punished by loss OF rep
resentation in Congress for DISTINGUISHING
nliterate colored voters, what punish
ment should be meted out to Pennsylvania
for padded and fraudulent registration?
Is 1t a worse crime to prevent an ignor-
ant man from voting than TO pay him for
voting ten or fifteen times?" In the
South II is the venal and dangerous vote
that is suppressed; in Pennsylvania II is
the venal and dangerous vote that is
coddled and with which elections are won.

TRICK OF VOICE.

how One Lawyer Keeps the judge From
Sleeping.
There is said to be lawyer in Phil
adelphia who possesses trick OF the
voice to which certain measure Of his
success in United States Supreme court
practice is due. The trick consists In
waking Judge. Whether it is COM
mon practice for the high dignitaries
of the federal supreme bench to in
dulge in nap in the course of a long
and tedious argument, such happen
ings are not unknown, and it is we'll
for an able logican Of the bar to be
prepared for it. The trick of waking
sleepy Judge would seem to be some
thing in the nature of slammlng law
book under his nose or connecting his
personality with the current OF an
electric battery. But the trick is ex-
planned as purely matter of sound
involved in the skillful control of the
voice. 1t is said that barrister prac-
ticed in the art and rhetoric of address
inc the bench can gather all the waves
Of sound from his throat into a focus
and deposit it in the orif1ce of the
Judges ear with the general effect OF
bomb, The trick, however it is &C.
complished,is said to have been worked
repeatedly with success on the late
Judge McKennan, whose habit of going
to sleep on the bench was once no.
torious subject of comment in the liti-
cation over the Berliner telephone pat
ents. This queer trick of the voice,
while it is said to be the peculiar prop
erty of one celebrated lawyer, is prob
ably attempted often with varying sue
cess by others. -Philadelphia Record.

Mr.. Charles E. Tripler, tie expert
menter in liquid air, recently took a
quart can of the remarkable substance
with him on visit to friend ON
the way he stopped in a restaurant to
eat beefsteak The waiter brought
in q hot broiled steak and placed it in
front of Mr.. Tripler AS sorl as the
walters back was turned M. Triple"
hastily opened the can and exposed the
meat to the liquid air. Instantly the
steak was frozen hard as ro,. K. When
the waiter came back his customer
complained that the steak Wa'- frozen.
So the waiter called the heat: waiter,
and the head waiter blamed It all on
the cook. and the cook was at {: loss to
explain. and the result was that. the
frozen steak was. taken back into the
kitchen as, a mysterious curics'ity. A
new steak was broiled for Mr.. Trip!er.
and this one he ate with much relish.

FRiLLS OF FASHION.

Variations in children's gowns bios
som out from time to time, even though
they are very slight, and small girls
rival their mothers in their ambition
to keep up to date.
Soft wool materials make up very
prettily in this way. In figured French
flannel the collar may be made Of the
same and trimmed with rows of narrow
braid or velvet ribbon. Skirts of the
small gowns are usually plain, but the
older girls have some sort of trimming
either tucks, stitched bands, rutlles o.
velvet folds, stitched on
The long-waisted mode, in which the
waist line rounds down low in front,
is conspicuously evident among the
gowns for girls over 10 years Of age,
and the small gowns fer dainty little
girls of initiate this fashion as much
as possible by having the long waist
all around. Guimpe dresses, which
never seem to 60 out of style. are suit
mature years OF middle age.
Bolero Jackets are very popular in
the kingdom of small costumes, and the
attempt to produce the effect of stole
narrow lace revers arc carr led down the
entire length CT the front, as shawn Ia
the illustration. Another pretty effect
is made by two box plaits in front. one
at either side from the yoke to the
hem, and two in the back, giving a
long effect to the waist, which is de-
fined with Il narrow velvet belt ending
in small velvet rosettes at either side
of the front Oh the plaits. The skirt
gathers On to the waist between the
plaits, which apparently are contin-
uation of those in the waist. A sailor
collar of lace covers the shoulders In
the back and opens in front over a
yoke of tucked white silk or batiste.
Thin gowns CT po'nt d'espr-t TO- party
wear are variously trimmed with
ruches, ruf1les, lace insertion and rows
Of colored satin ribbon. A pretty feat
IRE of the small girls costume is the
coat and hat to match.-New York

Grave Filling Device.
A device for use in constructing
graves, the invention Of Henry D.
Cameron, OF Burlington, Iowa, is de-
signed to fill the grave with earth after
the coffin has been lowered. and to
conceal as far as possible the actual
throwing Of tie dirt upon the coffin,
the most trying termination OF the
grave ceremony to the bereaved
mourners. It consists Of receptacle,
with detachable sides and bottom, and
a gate in the latter SC arranged as to
be capable Of being opened to allow
the contents to fall. The front Is a
flexible curtain, extending from the
top to the gate, and designed to pre-
vent the earth within from being seen.
This receptacle is filled with earth
previous to tie ceremony and carried
to a convenient point. When all Is
over and the grave is to be filled, the
receptacle is placed over 1t, and the
gates opened, thus gently closing the
last sad scene in much more fitting
manner than the seemingly cold
hearted return Of the earth with q
spade.
