In substance Kingsley said that some
of the girls were dismissed and others
were instructed TO put more seed in the

the inspectors were standing around. As
soon as the inspectors disappeared the

Kingsley's statement, to "let them run

Lawyers Agree to Allow the

Congress to Be Asked to
Investigate the Contract
and Other Department Of
Agriculture Matters.

The hearings into the alleged frauds
in the seed contracts in the Agricul-
tural Department have gone over until
next fall
1t is now said that they are to be re-
sumed about September l or a little
later. which may bring them to an
interesting point just about the time the
extra session of Congress is called, and
which may cause them to be taken up
for investigation simultaneously with
the proposed Congressional inquiry into
the Postofice frauds.
The delay In probing the seed mat
ter TO the bottom is due to the request
made by the lawyers Of Arthur C. Nellis.
the manager OF the New York Garden
ers' Association, who is accused by his
former superintendent, Kingsley, of de-
liberately issuing orders that the pack

One new feature which has not yet

Seeds Were Short.

Kingsley also went into details con-
cerning the lack Of bookkeeping He
said that under the Parker distribution
he had kept a record OF how much seed
had come into the distributing building
in bulk. by which means il was easy for
the Government 70 discover any short
age in the amount Of seeds for which ii
was paying
He suggested to Nellis that such books
be kept. but Nellis refused TO listen 20
him. Consequently the Government could
not tell whether or not 1t had got all
the seeds due It.
Kingsley also repeats in the testimony
the conversation he had with Nellls af-
ter the distribution had been completed.
He said that Nellis told him he did not
know how many seeds he had sent out.
Kingsley also asserts that Nellis told
him the seeds were short of what the
contract had called for. and he (Kings-
ley) advised NelIs TO go to the officers
Of the department and make a clean
breast OF the matter. but that Nellis re-
fused to do so.

PHOTOGRAPHY lyj1HB DARK.
German Professors Says Light Is Not
Needed I'm the Making
of Pictures.

The light is not needed for the
printing of photographs is a discov-
cry which has been made by DR.. Will
helm Oswald, professor of chemistry
in the University of Leipsic. He pro-
duees the required changes in the
sensitized paper by the use of silver
on negatives treated with a solution
of peroxide of hydrogen. The pres
ence of the silver causes the elements
of the solution to react against each
other. In a very short time in those
places where there is silver in the
negative the solution will disappear;
in the other spots remain, This invis-
ible picture is then transferred to gela-
tine paper and finally developed by
iron %sulphate in solution. Gallo acid
is hen applied and the result is a gen.
uine ink picture. DR.. Oswald declares
that in this method the sensitized pa
per will keep indefinitely and the sill
yer can be used over any number of
times. He says the process is far
cheaper and quicker than any now in
use, besides requiring no light. By
it any design or drawing can be
quickly copied.

AMERICAN ANCESTRAL HOMES
Our Shreyvder M~ilIiOnaires Propose
to Build Then in Their
own Country.

Now that the American millionaires
have had time to look about them and
have contracted the habit of visiting
Europe, where they are received by
royalty, it is not surprising that they
should be taken with a desire for an
ceStral homes, says the Philadelphia
Record. In the first impulse several of
them have bought up the ancestral
homes OF impoverished English aris-
tocrats and attempted to enjoy the emo
lions which are commonly ascribed to
the mar who inherits baronial halls, oil
portraits, tombs and vast game pre-
serves. 1t has been noted, however,
that after a very brief experience most
OF them have turned up again in the
nelghborhoOd Of Wall street, where
their mos exciting and happiest days
nave been spent. The fact is that life
In the foreign ancestral home is too like
a pioneer existence to please the Amer
lean millionaire for long. To equip the
place with electric lights or even with
gas; to install a hard coal furnace and
NA INPtbI anu Cll DliNI lllOGtIl llll-
provements as hot and cold water, dumb
walters, electric bells, swift-footed
young servants, telephones, soft car
pets and whatever makes living COM
fortable-the things for which the mil
l1onaire labored in his most active days
would be ridiculous. No man can eX-
p%erience or pretend to experience the
state of mind of a born aristocrat in his
ancestral home without submitting to
ancient conditions.
The shrewder American milliona.res
propose to build their own ancestral
homes in their own COUNT within easy

DIFFICULT POINT IN ETHICS.
The m who Padded Starts a
Discussion Concerning the Pro-
prfeties of the Beach.

Fifty or more women in bathing CO.'S
tune were lolling about on the beach
near one of Coney Islands best bathing
places one afternoon lately. They were
not, says the New York Sun, of the
wayfaring kind that go down from the
city with lunch boxes, hire a bathing
dress, take their plunge and then hurry
home to supper, but were mainly guests
at hotels, cottages from Bensonhurst,
tasteful wearers of their own garments.
A smaller number of men lounged on
the sand with these women, and wait
ed for the tide to rise to good swim
ming depth. For those who had eyes to
see there was hosiery aplenty-blue and
red and black, open work and shut, Isle
and cotton and silk. If there was a
knee in the crowd that was concealed
by the skirt of a bathing suit it es-
capped attention.
Then a young woman strolled up and
sat down to play with a little girl. She,
too, belonged to the fashionable throng.
Her pale blue dress was well cut and
fitted, her auburn hair was prettily
coiled and cared for, and when, to please
the child she prepared to go in padding,
It was a pair of silk stockings that she
laid carefully over her patent leather
ties and placed in a snug corner under
the bathing pavilion.
The pretty blue skirt, held in both
hands, rose six, then seven or eight,
then, perhaps ten inches, but no more
as the edge of the waves ran gently
forward and backward about her feet
and ankles and she. apparently all I'M
conscious of the sensation she was Great
ing, laughed and sported with the young
ster.
But as soon as she was seen by the
reclining men and women on the sand
a ripple of "oh's" and "my's" and "Did
YOU eVer?" and For heavens sake!'
ran up and down the adjacent beach.
Some of the women blushed and tried
not to seem to see, the frivolous gig
gled, the rest expressed their opinions au-
dibly.
It wasn't long before the girl in blue
looking around, found herself the OBJ
ject of so much unpleasant staring and
remark that she beat a retreat.
AS she passed a group of four WON.
en- and two men, all clothed for the wa
ter, whose conversation was obviously
meant to convey to her ears their disap.
prevail of her conduct, she paused ant
said:
Ladies, I'm sorry to have shocked
you. But if what l have done was i'm.

And she pointed to four sets of stock.

HAMBLETONIAN HISTORY.
Curious Incident of LORg Accepted
FaIsity of P~ligree and Nance
A Bit of Turf Record.

Hambletonian was a bull@ike horse
that was trained by Hiram Woodruff
but could never develop a speed equal
to a mile in three minutes-3:1S, to be
exact, says John Gilmer Speed, in Cen
fury, being the best mile he yer did.
AS to his pedigree. Mambrino, the grand
sire, was by Messenger; but he was
worthless, and also vicious. He could
neither run nor trot. He was bred by
Louis Morris, of Westchester county.
New York, and sold to Maj. William
Jones, of Cold Springs Harbor, Long Is
land. AS he was worthless and a Sc
rious disappointment, Maj. Jones virtu-
ally gave him away, and he was used as
a travelling stallion at a small fee. John
Treadwell, a Quaker farmer near ia
maica, Long Island, had two Conestoga,
or Pennsylvania Dutch draft mares. Out
of one of these mares by MambrinC, was
born Abdallah. This horse was sc bad
tempered that he could never be broken
to harness, but wa ridden under the
saddle. He had no speed either as a run
ner or trOtter, not being able to do a
mile in four minutes at any gait. He
had a mule-like head and ears, a badly
ewed neck, and a rat tail. But he was
a Messenger, despite the Conastoga
crossing, and he was sold to Kentuck-
ians for 81 800. In less than six months
the Kentuckians repented of their bar
gain, and sold him back to New Workers
for $500-Messrs. Simmons and Smith,
Bulls Head dealers, buying him as a
speculation. Fhis was in 1849. No
purchaser could the spectators find at
any price, and the stallion was virtually
given away to stop expenses of keep
ing him. About this time Charles Kent
wanted a new horse for his butcher wag-
on, and traded, through Alexander
Campbell, of Bulls Head, his WORKOUT
mare to Edmund Seeley, a farmer in
Orange county, N. Y, for a steer
for butchering. This butchers mare
had originally been sold to him by
Campbell, who had obtained her in a
drove of western horses, paying $40 for
her. Her pedigree was quite unknown.
This mare is known in American
horse history as the Charles Kent mare,
and is said to be by imported Bellfound-
err. She was in foal to Abdullah when
Seeley got her, and the colt became the
property of Bill Rysdyk, a hired mar
on Seeley's farm. Rysdyk looked around
for a name for his colt-a name which
should indicate the Messenger blood in
him. There had been in the early years
of the country a famous son of Messen-
ger named Alexander Hamilton. This
horse finally became known as Bishops
Hamiltonian. In his effort to borrow
the name Rysdyk, being weak in or
biography, called his horse Rysdyk's
Hambletonian. And so he lives in his
tory-false in his pedigree as in his
name.

AMERICAN ADAPTABILITY.
Poise of "A Chicago Girl in
Her Position as First Lady
of India.

Lady Curzon, the vicerine of India,
stands as a shining example Of the ia
Et nd the a~daptability of the Amer
dean woman, says the Kansas City Star.
Occupying a position which brings her
IN continual contact with royalty, she
bears herself with as much dignity and
distinction as If she had been born to
the purple. No daughter of the reigning
house of Great Britain could sustain
herself In the place of Lady Curzon with
more admirable poise than she exhibits
in all of the great functions in which
she Is caleld to figure. Lady Curzon be-
longs to what would be called a new
family even In America. She has not
behind her the generations of culture
which many American women can point
to. She was brought up in Chicago, a
town that is conspicuously associated
with the commercial idea. Her acqui-
sitions were not aided by the influence
OF hereditary culture. Her achieve
meEts are the fruit of a keen and active
mind and an agreeable personality IN
der the spur and encouragement of lib
eral advantages. Her accommodation
to the requirements and the opportuni-
ties OF large riches shows the difference
between the British and the American
systems. In England it requires cen
turtles to manufacture the sort of ladies
and gentlemen who are often developed
In this country in a single generation.

SERVE MEALS PIPING HOT.
Three Pittsburg Women Fill n Long
4 Felt Want and Are Maxi
ing 1t Pay.

: One of the most unique business en-
terprises in this country was estab-
lished not long ago by three Pittsburg
women. Something like a year ago
they rented a house in One of the
best residence sections of Oakland and
began to prepare and deliver what
they called a ready to serve" din
ner. A patent buffet" was con-
structed which would retain heat for
hours. In that ingenious contrivance
these dinners were served. They were
guaranteed to remain fresh, appetite
ing and hot for three hours.
Success was theirs. Housewives
500 took notice and in a short time
those who had heretofore had much
trouble In getting a cook ordered the
meals from these women. The "ready
to serve" dinners proved a quick and
easy way out of the dilemma and the
ever troublesome cook was done away
with.
The ready to serve" dinner business
Is a new feature in nearly every city
in the United States. San Francisco
and fashionable Paris have soundly
established cooking establishments on
the same basis and ii has become very
popular. The three women realized a
surprisingly large sum, 1t is said.
