tion with the purchase of ~ 1.Gnish West

Chairman Dalzell laid before the members
number OF papers, including letters from
the United States minister to Denmark
Mr.. Swenson; Henry White, secretary Of
the United States embassy at London, and
Captain Walter Christmas who has been
the central figure in connection with the
charges.
Secretary Hay forwarded the letters with
out commenting on their contents. Mr..
Swenson's letter encloses that handed TO
him by Captain Christmas, in which the
latter states that Neils Gron obtained his
confidential report by foul means; that
he has reason to believe Gron falsified it,
and denies a number of allegations which
it contained. He says he never tried to
impress Minister Horring that bribery was
the only way OF getting the islands sold.
He had not given the name Of any con-
gresham in connection with the use OF
money. He makes a general denial Of sew
eral matters.
Minister Swenson says that in view OF
Christmas character and absurd and con-
Trajectory statements" he attaches no i'm
portRnce to the letter. He says the op-
ponents Of the sale Of the islands are using
the Gron- Christmas scandal to prevent rat
ification of the treaty.
Mr.. Whites letter is a detailed account
OF his visit to Denmark to bring about an
agreement for the sale of the islands.
H. H. Rogers OF the Standard Oil com
papy sent a letter, in which he says he
had but one interview with Christmas, and
that was devoid of Importance He adds:
THE story he tells as to my claim. the
ownership of twenty-six United States SEN
ators, is simply a falsehood and so absurd
on it's face that it is hardly worth referr-
ing to-"
Mr.. Rogers offered to come as a witness
II the committee wanted him.
Richard P. Evans, one OF the attorneys
mentioned, denied some of the statements
made concerning himself
Mr.. Rogers will not be asked 70 ap-
pear but Chairman Dalzell has written him
10 forward an explanation OF a dispatch
which Christmas quoted as sent by Rogers,
saying the negotiations were again on.
The committee also talked over the report
and will reassemble later to pass on this

A Macclesfeld man was in a very bad way of health. After much anxious thought he determined to consult doctor, relates Lon don Tt-Bits.

 A light breakfast-cup> of cocoa, dried toast, and other simple fare; plain dinner chop, no potatoes, glass of claret; and only one cigar per day. He was most care ful to impress the fact upon the patients mind that the one cigar should never be ex. ceeded.
 The patient went away and returned in week worse than ever. The doctor was nonplussed.
 Upon inquiries be found that the man had most faithfully carried out all his in struetions to the letter.
 T know what it is, replied the man of medicine You've had more than one cigar a day. It's the smoking that's done it."
 "Yes; I know that, doctor. It is the smoking; but I've only had one cigar at a time, and that was quite enough, for never smoked in my life until you told me to-"

Literature as n Trade

To write successfully means to serve a long and hard apprenticeship: it means to do many things badly in or der to learn to do a few things we'll; to read many authors, and good ones to live with words till one knows their value, and it means, too, that one must know something about the reality of life. In short writing is trade. just like bookbinding or type-setting. It is different, of course; it has a higher side, we believe, but to think only of the higher side, and ignore the trade part of it. is to prepare ones self for a great disappointment. Decidedly the novice should not expect to earn pin money by setting down her day dreams, when successful authors are obliged to slog daytime and night time in order to learn the mechanics of the art.-Woman's Home Com panion.

KEPT HIS PANAMA WHITE.
By Process Which Some People Be lieve Is Especially Applicable
 to Sinners.

The number of Panama or alleged Pan. ana hats to be seen everywhere this sea son reminded an old gentleman from Bos- ton cf a story the other day, which he pro ceeded to tell to another man in the Fifth avenue hotel, holding his own genuine Panama in his hand:
 'I suppose you have never heard of old Dr. Ellis down here," he said, relates the New York Tribune. But a generation or two ago he was a well-known figure in Boston, being one of our famous Unitarian minister, friend of many of the Trans. cendentahsts. He used always to wear a white Panama hat, which at that time was much more of luxury than 1 judge 1t IS to-day. The same hat did him season after season, yet it never seemed to lose any of its fresh whiteness.
 ''One day a minister of the old persuasion, and very pronounced in his orthodoxy, asked Dr. Ellis how he kept his hat so white
 ' That is easy,' said the doctor, for it has been Calvinized
 What? asked the other minister. How do you galvinize hat?'
 said Calvinized,' replied the Unitar- ian.
 :. But what do you mean by that?'
 Dipped in brimstone.' said Dr. Ellis.
