room was crowded. There were a good
many women present. Ames was late
in arriving. His attorneys were there
before him. He finally made a dra-
matte entrance, supported by his wife
and assisted on the other side by At
torney H. S. Mead, Of cousel for the
defense.
Ames got a surprise when the coun-
ty attorney opened up on him. He
has a harder case to beat than he an
ticipated. 1t was supposed that he
would be tried on a single charge of
receiving a bribe from one or another
of the abandoned women who testified
| before the grand jury.
When the county attorney began
business it was found that Ames had
to face the bribery charges collectively.
The case against him combines the
evidence of all the women with regard
to payments for protection. This in
dictment startled the defense and it
was very evident that such a move on
the part of the state had not been an
ticipated.
Another thing that surprised DR..
Ames was the fact that Thomas Brown
Jr., Irwin A. Gardner and Christopher
c. Norbeck were lined up as witnesses
against him. Gardner knows where he
stands, and it is understood that he
will give the same evidence that he
gave before the grand jury.
Gardner got one look at the peniten-
tiary, and that was enough. He was
down there over night. The prison Of
ficials did not even change his clothes
nor cut his hair.
But after Gardner had taken one
peek into the interior of the gigantic
bastile on the st. CroiX he made up
his mind that that was all he needed.
AS soon as the opportunity presented
itself Gardner appeared at the county
attorneys Office and announced that,
While he was willing to go a long way
to help man whom he considered his
friend, he would not go to the length
of serving six years in such a place as
the Saltwater penitentiary.
Up to that time he had been protect
ing Ames in his testimony, and had
prevented, so far as he was able, the
introduction of evidence on his own
trial derogatory to the eX-mayor. He
informed Mr.. Boardman that he was
ready to tell all he knew, and 1t, was
largely due to the evidence of Gardner
and Brown, before the grand jury, that
later indictments against Ames were
secured.
Some of the indictments charging
bribery against Ames relate to the time
at which Gardner was collector of the
port. The legal representatives of the
state understand that these particular
cases will be especially easy to prove.
When Anes rose TO listen to the
reading of indictments against him he
was so evidently feeble that the court
received a suggestion from Frank NJ.

for the legislature and not the judicial

bIe that the concentration of property
interests, including railroad Transport

is as irresistible as gravitation. and
that the law itself will be as impotent
to stop it as to challenge by legislative
enactment the procession of the stars.

spirited the purposes of the defend

people is to be deemed a delusion."

CANNoN'S FLY STORY.
Hammock Hours" in Hotel Yard in

Congress Cannon, who Is a power in
argument and quick at repartee en-
joys displays of similar resourcefulness
in others.
During a hot summer campaign in
Illinois he sought temporary rest in a
hammock stretched under the trees in
the yard of a country hotel. From
his window the shade looked inviting,
but on the spot he found the lawn
StreWn with tomato cans, potato peel
ings and other debris. On MANY of
these more or less unsanitary mounds
were myriads of flies.
Il had no sooner stretched myself in
the hammock" said Mr.. Cannon, than
these flies attacked me, seemingly by
the million. 1t was intolerable, and in
no pleasant frame of mind I looked I'M

Flowers Are w. |. EIklns, Hobby.

Mr.. Elkins experiences no discomfort
in a trolley car, but he is miserable when
his valet forgets to place flaming red
carnation or an orchid of the same color
in his coat lapel every morning 1t is
said that such an untoward event has
not happened since a certain day, several
years ago, when new valet inadvertent-
ly forgot this most important duty, with
disastrous results to himself.
By reason of this hobby Mr.. Elkins is
a marked man whenever he walks Phil
delphia's streets, and many promoter,
unable to gain entrance into the financier' S
private office, has waited for him at the
foot of the elevator, spotted him by the
flower and importuned him in public to
take up with this scheme or that.
Mr.. Elkins' passion for these two flow
ers in particular, and all flowers in gen
eral. is so strong that at his beautiful
country home in Elkins-a picturesque
Philadelphia suburb which bears his
name. and has been developed by him-he
has no less than dozen big greenhouses
filed with all sorts of blooming plants.

AUNTIE VAN DYKES MEMORY.
Remembers Washington, but Was
Never Patted on Head by Lafayette.

"Auntie" Van Dyke, who, it is claim
ed, is 112 years DID, celebrated the ami
versary of her birthday yesterday aft
ernoon at Lincoln mission, 1899 Allan
tic avenue, Brooklyn. The centenarian,
who still retains her faculties, received
her friends at the mission and was the
recipient of flowers and other gifts
from them.
The aged woman has been called
"auntie" for SO long a time that her
Christian name seems to have been
quite forgotten. She makes her horae
at 1910 Atlantic avenue, with Mrs. Sa-
rah Brown, with whom she has lived
since 1875. "Auntie," it is declared, was
born slave and was the property of
Daniel Cortelyou, who was a farmer in
New Utrecht
She does not know her own age"
said Mrs. Brown yesterday, speaking
of 'auntie." Il learned, however, from
an old book belonging to the Cortelyou
family that she was born in 1891. Ac-
cording to that she is 112 years old"
In line with most other centenarians,
"auntie" remembers seeing George
Washington. Strange as it may seem,
head by Lafayette.
"Oh, yes, 1 remember Mr.. Washing
ton," she said yesterday. He used to
come down on horseback to see my old
master. There was another man come
sometimes who was a captain and had
regiment. My master was farmer,
and was sold to him by his sister. I
had eight children. All were born in
slavery and most Of them died in slav-
cry"
"Auntie," according to the statement
of her age given by Mrs. Brown, must
have been only eight years old when
Washington died, and the fact that she
can recall seeing at this tender age the
father of his country riding down to
the old farm in New Utrecht, is regard
ed by some Of her friends as showing
that her memory has not yet grown
very weak.-New York Times.

French Colonies In

afford in the development of the COL
ony will more than offset the tempo
rary sacrifice Of revenue. The later
explorations have shown that fewer
difficulties toward the carrying out of
this project will be found than were
believed to exist. A part of the road
has already been built, reaching as Tar
as Biskra, not a great distance, it is
true, but which will form a good start
on the long distance south to Lake
Tchad.
1t would naturally be useless to at
tempt anything in the way of railway
building unless it was the intention Of
going as far as Lake Tchad, for this
great inland sea must eventually be-
come point of the utmost Importance
in Central Africa To Frenchmen there
would be considerable pride in the
achievement of such an important en-
gineering project, as it would form an
other link to her great enterprise on
this continent-the building of the
SueZ canal.
In Madagascar there hase been great
progress made and the exports from
this fertile island are rapidly increas-
ing. In addition the native population
is becoming more and more amenable
to French rule.

power does not seek to seize it; it will
do just the same with the valley of
the Yangtse; but it wishes to be left
free to carry on, according to the
methods which suit 1t, the work of
colonization which it has undertaken.
The colonial question would form a
possible opportunity of quarrels be-
tween Great Britain and France, not
at all because their intereets are op-
posed or because their ambitions clash
(nothing of the kind exists, but sim
ply because Great Britain ignores the
progress effected in the French colo
MES, and because this ignorance leads
her to think that these colonies would
attain a greater measure Of prosperity
under the British flag; and because
France, which perceives the existence
of this sentiment, feels that in conse-
quence a grievous and traditional mis-
trust Of Great Britain is thereby in
creased. Jean Anatole.

lndictments-Is Too Weak

A. A. Ames was arraigned yesterday
morning on nine indictments He is
charged Variously with receiving bribes
from nine different directions. Sadie
