Special coo,s Despatch to TIE SUN.
HAVANA, Aug l8.-The trial Of Joseph
ID. De Wyokoh ON the charge brought
against him by COL Michael j. Dady was
continued to-day. The Fiscal maintained
the original charge OF embezzlement, and
asked for . sentence of Imprisonment for
twenty months and tho return to Col Dady
Of the $4,000 which De WyokotY is accused
Of embezzhng
The Fiscal argued that although IL was
true Col. Dady had given Do Wycko1 power
Of attorney In the Cenfuegoe affair, that
power was defined and only applied to theI
Cienfuegos matter. Therefore when that
business fell through. and De Wyckon6
was instructed to return the money to thed
bank, he had no right to apply the money!
TO any other purpose, even though Col.
Dady might have owed him money for past
services De Wyckoff, he added, could not
have been acting In good faith in keeping
money that had been entrusted to him for
q special purpose.
Sehor Bernal, De Wyokoff g lawyer. argued
that the power of attorney could not be
taken to apply only to the Genfuegos matter
as Col. Dady and De Wyckof had done busi-
ness together for years and were intimately
connected. But, even il 1t could. Col. Dady
undoubtedly owed De Wyckof at least
SIS 900 for services rendered in the past,
which services were manifold and i'm.
portant De Wyckoff had not committed a
criminal offence in applying the $4,000
partly to settle his account against Col
Dady. but at the most had committed civil
offence. Moreover. Col. Dady had only
cancelled the power Of attorney the day
before he brought the action. Senior Bernal
declared that the court could not decide
the value Of De Wyckoff's services to Col
Dady. He declared that Col. Dady was
man who did not pay his lawyers and had
been indicted for Encouragement of public
funds

richness and barbaric splendor.
The Winter Palace at st. Peters
burg is huge red pile, 500 feet
square, across which is a semicircular
mass of ministerial buildings culmi-
mating in the center in tall arch,
surnounted by bronze chariot and
four plunging horses of Victory.
Within this palace even the func.
tionaries are laden with gold lace and
draped with gold cords, with their
splendid uniforms bearing conspicu-
ously the imperial two-headed black
eagle. The floors are of costly pol
ished woods, and there are columns
and columns of polished marble.
In the state departments the decora-
ton is dazzingly beautiful. The ball
room at night rivals any Arabian

are two gigantic candelabra of mas

high, standing on the floor on each
side of the huge supper room doors.
Rows of orange trees stretch down
the banquet hall, and under these the
tables are set, and there are hundreds
Of birds in golden cages suspended
from the ceiling. and two marble
fountains set in the wall spray their
perfumed waters continuously from
a succession of shells.

view there has been recently devised
the scrubbing brush shown in the cut,
which has not only the advantage of
covering a great deal of floor space
as it moves along, but the action OF
its bristles on the floor is increased
as a rotary motion is impaired to II
as well as the back and forth motion!
This feature is said to decrease the
labor of scrubbing by half. Another
advantage is that it does its work
without the necessity of bring the
operator onto his or her hands and
knees.
The scrubibng brush has two long
handles, one of which is held In each
of the operators hands. The handles
are pivoted to a post on top OF the
brush head, and by means OF rack
and pinion arrangement carried on the
upper part of the brush head the
brush is given a rotary motion as the
handles are moved toward and away
from each other At the same time
the brush is given the usual forward
and backward motion. This device
has been invented by resident OF
the Far Northwest, and has been
tried on some of the office buildings
of Tacoma and Vancouver, and, 1t is
said, performs its functions with ease.

(Which has since been beaten two
points by our Atlantic squadron in its
quarterly praetice), is said to be large
ly creditable to mechanical eontriy-
ance invented by Capt. Scott of the

which a small paper target drawn to
a scale is caused to move In front of
q gun with a combined vertical and
horizontal movement. While the tar

deavors to train the gun so as to keep
the cross wires of his telescope on the

the dot representing real shot on a
