CONTROLLERS DECISION.
Books Purchased for District National
Guard Can Be Paid For.


Controller Tracewell has received from
Capt. Andrew Parker, acting paymaster of
the District militia, an account for $64. so
from the Extraordinarily Publishing
Company of Kansas City for fifty copies
Of a military work purchased for the use
Of the District National Guard. Capt. Par
ker asks whether such bill can be prop
erly paid out of the moneys deducted for
fines for the violation of regulations, etc,
and further what general Incidental ex-
penses of the service are properly charge
able to this fund.-
The controller says that the books can
not be classed as law books or periodicals.
and 1t is not entirely clear to my mind that
these books, which appear to be fifty copies
OF single book in military series of pub
locations, are books of reference within
the meaning Of the act, and unless the OBJ
ject for which they are to be used makes
it essential SO to classify them, 1t Is not
necessary for the accounting officers to
question the discretion exercised in their
rerchase"

Ruskin's Opinion Of Books.
From Success.

is
Mr.. Ruskin's censure was not confined to
any particular class Of books, says VIM
Stead, jr. The needless volumes which, in
his opinion, were unworthy Of inclusion in
any list Of the hundred best books include
Southey and Longfellow among poets,
Froude. Macauley and Emerson among es-
sayists. and Thackeray. George Eliot and
Bulwer among the writer's of fiction The
poisonous works were principally found
in the departments of history and philoso-
ply. Gibbons Decline and Fall Of the Ro,
man Empire sVoltaire's histories and
Humes England" were stricken out with
vigorous pen. Grote's History of
Greece vanished beneath a blot Of ink, SO
great was Mr.. Ruskin's disapprobation Of
that historians masterpiece. He would not
tolerate the claims Of John Stuart Mill
Darwin or Locke. Mr.. Ruskins common
.dations are not less characteristic. He rec
ommends his disciples to read all the works
Of Plato, Carlyle and Scott. Mr.. Ruskin,
as Is well known, shared Mr.. Gladstone
enthusiastic admiration of the great Scot
fish novelist. II should add" he wrote,
at the same time, lone vital and essential
book-Livy (the two first books, and three
plays of observation-disclosures Birds and
'Plutus.' OF travels read myself all the
old tones I can get hold of; Of modern
Humboldt is the central model. Forbes

the resolution went over until tomorrow.
The Vest resolution regarding the re-
moval of the duty on anthracite coal then
was considered Mr.. Tillman Is. c., in
Pursuance of his notice of yesterday, ad-
dressed the Senate. He said that Mr.. Al
drich, since the resolution came up had
become more strenuous and had exhibited
more feeling and earnestness than he
thought him capable of.
The energy of the venerable and brilliant
senator from Missouri, Mr.. Tillman said,
had put spur to the tagging horses in the
House of Representatives and those in the
Senate who have been cold-bloodediy con-
templating the condition Of affairs for a
month His only wonder, he said, was that
in these trying times of death and distress
mobs are not taking steps to show monop-
olists that in the last resort men will
neither starve nor freeze to death, but VIII
throttle the law if necessary, and take II
into their own hands and seize supplies
He then criticised those who claimed that
there was not now sufficient authority 10
remedy the evils which. exist and said that
we may load down our statute books with
laws. but unless the sworn officers of the
law shall discharge their duties fearlessly
and honestly every effort 60 protect the
people will fail because Of their dereliction.
Efforts have been made said Mr.. Till
man, proof has been filed, pleadfngs have
been had, petitions to the Attorney Cen
eral filed warning and begging him to pro-
tect the people against the impending dan
ger, but he has sat quietly In his office and
done nothing"
Rich and poor alike, he declared. are
freezing because of the fact that monop-
oily does exist; because the lawyers have
failed to interpret the law in the interest
of the people.
He criticized the coal strike commission
ers and said they were taking irrelevant
and unnecessary testimony, when, If they
wanted to, they could find out about the
combination and report to Congress that
such a monopoly exists.
He criticised decision by Judge Taft in
volving case under the interstate COM
merce law and said 1t was the same judge
who would not leave 1.-The onerous and
odous duties in which he was now en-
gagged in the Philippines for a seat on the
Supreme bench.
At 2 o'clock the statehood bill was taken
UP. and Mr.. Tillman gave notice that he
would continue his remarks tomorrow. Mr..

OBJECTED TO DISBRoW.
Father Of "Dimple' Lawrence Testi-
fed Today.

RIVERHEAD. L. l.. January 1.-THE
first witness today in the trial of Louis A.
Disbrow. indicted for the murder Of Clar-
ence Foster, was John s. Lawrence. father
Of "Dimple'' Lawrence. who lost her life
at the same time as Foster. Mr.. Law
renee testified that he had objected to Dis
brow keeping company with his daughter,
and only the day before her death Dis
brow had promised to respect his request.
Under crossSexamination the witness said
his daughter was a good swimmer.
In his opening address yesterday Dis
trict Attorney Smith said that he would
prove there was a wound over Fosters eye
when the body was found. and that dcs tn
was due to conclusion of the brain, caJs-
ed by a blow. This theory. however. was
not borne out by the evidence Of the wit
nesses for the prosecution, several of whom
testified that there was hardly any per-
ceptible wound on the head. Among those
witnesses were Roger Squire, who found
the body floating in the bay. and j. w.
GaffTey. a life saver Of East Quoge, who
brought the body ashore. both of VIII I'M
said that they had only noticed a slight
abrasion of the skin. b.
Clarence Foster, father Of the dead man,
said that he noticed the wound. but had
not observed 1t closely. He did not believe
that his son had been drowned. as he was a
strong swimmer and skillful in the man.

On the district attorneys attempting to
bring in testimony relative to the death Of
"Dimple' Lawrence, Justice Maddox ruled
that 1t was not admissible. the prisoner be-
ing only under the Indictment for the kill

Charles E. Rogers. proprietor of the
Hampton Pines Club. told of the supper

his place on the night Of June 8, and also
of his meeting with Disbrow the next day,
