CENSUS FRAUDS TRIAL.
stephen A. Abel1 Testifes in His Own
Behalf.

Stephen A. Abel, the St. Mary's county
census enumerator. on trial In the United
States district court Of Maryland at BaItt-
more, on the charge Of padding the re-
turns from the Leonardtown district, was
upon the witness stand yesterday in his
own defense.
1t had been conceded that the supple
mental schedule was made up of the names
of dead persons, nonresident persons and
fictitious persons, as well known by Abel:
but Abel absolutely denied having sent in
the schedule to the census bureau. After
1t had been made out he consulted Robert
Abel, asking whether 1t was proper
schedule to send in. and being advised that
il was not, threw it upon a table in the
court room, refusing to have anything
more to do with it,
Abel further denied having authorized
anyone to send in the schedules. and also
denied ever having stated to Allen G. AL
bert. newspaper reporter in Washington,
that he had sent in the supplementary
schedules after consulting Congressman
Mudd. Jack" Ching and Enoch Abel, as
Mr.. Albert had testified. He said he never
knew Of any Jack" Ching.
Abel said that he was forty-one years of
age, lived about four and a half miles
from Leonardtown. and was farmer by
occupation. but latteriy a policeman. After
he considered himself no longer a census
enumerator; had sent in his pay vouchers
with the original schedules and had never
changed the vouchers or authorized any
one to change them. He had not kent any
memoranda OF the pay vouchers. and was

only 138. Sometimes one large farm is
rented to two three tenants, divided
up, and Abel counted each such tenant as
farmer. He had never, he said author
lied any change by the census bureau in
his figures. e -
The court was Obliged to wait until Is
o'clock for the arrival of Mr.. Albert from
Virginia. as he had been detained by a
slight railroad accident. Mr. Albert testi-
fled to his interview with Abel upon the
latter's arrest, as reported in the former
trial of Ching, yAbeH and others, and in
which interview Abel said he had been ad-
vised by Mr.. Mudd. Enoch Abel and
Jack Ching to enumerate persons who
had died since the last census He had a
second interview with Abel, at Mr.. Mudd' s
suggestion, in which Abel denied having
said that Mr.. Mudd had advised him whom
to enumerate. Albert said that Abel. in
this second interview. confirmed all that
he was reported to have said at the first
interview, except the use Of Mr.. Mudd' S

BUFFALO FESTIVAL ENDS.
Results Somewhat Disappointing to
the SaenEerbund Management.

A dispatch to the New York Tribune
from Buffalo last night says: The thirtieth
festival of the North American Saenger
bund came to an end this evening very
much like the majority of it's predecessors
with many evidences of lassitude on the
part of the singers, a considerable falling
off of artistic merit in the performance and
a pretty general feeling of diScouragement
on the part of those who have labored for
months to make a creditable showing for
the association and the city; in this con-
nection, it may lie added, also for music
though the artistic results have been more
than ordinarily creditable. The local COM
mittee of management are contemplating
small money loss, say $1,000, in spite of the
extremely generous treatment which they
received at the hands of the state authori-
ties, who gave them the use of the armory
OF the 18th Regiment free of cost, and the
directors of the Pan-American exposition,
who fitted up the armOry for festival pur-
poses.
But there has been much to admire in the
way in which the local management per-
sisted in it's purpose to make the festival
a musical affair. The management, too.
passed through The usual bad quarter of
an hour, which all persons must expect who
have business dealings with those women
singers commonly spoken of as prime
dcnne. Nine. Blauvelt was announced to
sing at both of today's concerts. This
Nine. Schumann-Heink, who has been the
chief solo attraction of the festival, had
been somewhat more generously proclaimed
in the public announcements that hers.
Her pride was hurt, and she informed the
management she would not sing unless she
received a widely signed apology. The
management refused to stultfy itself, and
made other arrangements. There was much
talk. elimination and recriminatiOn, and
threats Of legal proceedings on the part of
the irate singer. Legal advice was taken,
and the lady sang, according to agree
ment.
Two concerts were given, one in the af-
ternOon and one in the evening. The fea-
ture of the afternoon concert was the
choir of 5000 children of the public schools,
under the direction Of Mr.. Mischka super
visor of music in the schools. They sang
some national anthems, popular airs of the
American. German and French peoples, and
a cantata by Bendall Sir Arthur Sullivan's
friend and secretary. entitled ''The Legend
of Bregenz;" setting for soprano and
contralto solos, female voices and orches-
ira. The picture presented by the choir in
the magnificent surroundings of the armory
was inspiring. and the artistic effect highly
credtable to the system of musical in
struction in the schools. At the meeting of
the delegates of the North American Saen-
gerbund the old officers principally were
reelected, and st. Louis was decided upon
as the festival city in 1903.

Rioters Destroy Spanish Churches.

A dispatch from Valencia, Spain. yester-
day says: A mob Of anti-clericals surround
ed a church here today while jubilee serv-
ices were proceeding. smashed the windows
and blocked the doors to prevent the de-
parture of the procession. Many women
tainted and a great uproar ensued. The po-
lice finally enabled the procession to start.
The mob then proceeded to the archbish-
ops residence and to the Carmelite con-
vent and broke the windows of those build
ings.

ed a costume to suit the individual fancy
of the wearer. and hence quite a variegat-
ed assortment of dress may be seen on the
riding block. The first part of the hated
uniforms to be left at home was the sugar

cutaway coats were left behind. to be re-
placed with sack coats and neglige shirts

are also Of the past, and now one of the
