General Wheeler and Peaches.

A Michigan officer in the Spanish
war had a negro attendant whose ideas
Of military discipline were strict. says
The Philadelphia Ledger. Owing es-
p~ecially TO the thieving proclivities OF
some of the cuban hangers-on. he was
under strict command not 10 let any
thing go from the officers quarters
without a personal order from him.
One evening, as the officer and Cen
eral Wheeler met some distance from
the camp the General sai6. with q
smack OF his lips:
II hear. sir. that you received some
very fine branded peaches from home.'
Yes. General. they're prime, and
I'm going to send you some Mean
time you had better stop at my tent
on the way in and ave my man give
you a can"
When the officer reached the quar-
tiers he was approached by his at
tendant with an elaborate salute. who
said:
"Did you tell dat GenT wheeIah. sab.

striking parallel to the case in which
a fortnight ago Millionaire Peter Van
Vlfssingen practically demonstrated
that under police pressure a boy named
WiltcaX mad given false testimony
leading to the conviction OF the boys
father for murder. Today's instance OF
youthful u~nreliability under oath was
in the case of William Mccarthy. and
four Polish young men on trial for
murder, the witness being a little girl,
Appolonia TapSta. who gave first di-
rect, straightforward. Y witness tes-
timony apparently establishing beyond
question the guilt of the men,. and then
r~epudiated her sworn evidence. In
explanation of the remarkable change
of front, the child declared that she had
been instructed how to testify by the
widow OF the murdered man.. Charges
against the prisoners were withdrawn
on the spot by the states attorney, the
five men Immediately walking out. free

The chief contention-the admissi-

the time the court adjourned for the
day.
Former Judge Stoddard. who appears
as senior counsel for Mrs. Bennett and
the other heirs. fought every inch of
the ground over which the appellants
moved in their efforts TO introduce evil
idence. and at times he directed bitter
iinvectives and against the OPP
posing side.
Practically the whole day was taken
up in the effort of Henry G. Newton,
counsel for Mr.. Bryan. to have admit
ted as evidence the will. the sealed
letter and a type written copy OF the
i"sealed letter." Four times Attorney
Newton asked the court to admit tha
sealed letter" and on inal refusal ar

The letter was written by a Japan
csc official who knew the Phlladel-

help the bearer in what he desired the
favor would be greatly appreciated.
The favor was for the philadelphia

a responsible person. He had plenty
Of money and n bargain was made

A Damaging Charge Against Mr..
Bry3n.

Alfred Henry Lewis, the well-known
newspaper correspondent. writing in
the saturday Evening Post OF Feb.
9th. on The Democracy and its Iago.
meaning by the latter the Hon Will
lam Jennings Bryan, makes a very
damaging accusation against the Ne
braska statesman In describing the
first fight of Mr.. Crisp OF Georgia for
the speakership, he says:
LAS I've related Mr.. Bryan voted
in the beginning for MI. Springer.
What became of him when Mr.. Spring
er withdrew? Mr.. Bryan still voted
for Mr.. Springer. That gentleman
himself was voting for Mr.. Crisp. He
had withdrawn his name; he was no
longer a candidate. Yet to the last
|roll-call which gave victory by q
brace of votes to Mr.. Crisp, Mr.. Bryan
sat shooting his arrow in the air for
Mr.. Springer. In brief. he threw away
his voice in a contest where a throne
was the prize. Why did Mr.. Bryan
thus waste himself? Because. as he
explained In a day when he was not
so old o so cunning as he is now.
