on Tuesday the senate spent mosl
of the afternoon discussing the bill
presented by Senator Fairbanks of In
diana providing for the erection of q
large executive building for the de
pai tments of state, justice. and com.
merce and labor to be situated on the
block just west of Lafayette square
and north of the present war office
There was much objection to the
proposition on the ground that 1t T.
impolitic TO house more than one de-
partment in the same building; also
that the site is too costly. Many SEN
ators want the new public buildings
placed in row along the southern
side of Pennsylvania avenue. running
from the treasury to the peace monu-
ment. The new postoffice is on Ii is
side of the avenue. and the new mu-
.niclpal building is to be placed ON the
same side. The objection to this site
is that the land Is made land, over
swamp. and is subject to overflow
from the Potomac.

DENY HENDERsoNs CHARGES.


The disclosure in the meeting % the committee
was one Of the most sensational political de-
velopments West Chester has had in many
years After Henderson had testified. ex-Mayor
Walsh and Mr. Beaudrias vigorously denounced
hts assertions as lies Ex-Mayor Fiske. ex-
Mayor Dillon and Mr.. O'NeH, who is connected
with the Park Commission Of The Bronx. were
rot present. There was considerable comment
about a letter sent by ex-Mayor Fiske to John
c. Agar chairman Of the investigating com
mittee stating that important business en-
gagement kept him away. Some Of ex-Mayor
Fiskes friends thought that because he ocCu-
pies the important post Of chairman Of the Dem
ocratic County Committee he should have been
there to testify. The absence Of ex-Mayor Dill
lon and Mr.. O'NeH was explained with the state
ment that they had not been told OF the meet
ing and had no knowledge that their names
were likely TO be involved.

morrow afternoon to hear any explanation that

whispered Page, and then he found
himself being introduced by his first
name to two highly colored queens of
the ballet, and all four proceeded at
once to private supper room. Albert
found the girls bright, yivacious and
expressive, as far rs superficial use
OF slnry goes. They ordered the choic-
est ana highest priced items on the bill
Of fare and talked about their "mashes"
in other cities in n way that made AL
bert grateful that he had been intro
duced by his first name only.
When in the wee small hours they
escorted the two girls to their boarding
place, Page was glad to be rid Of them,
aud when he reached his room he did
not feel particularly proud of himself.
He felt less SO the next morning
when he received a letter from Alice

A Mississippi correspondent OF the
Practical Farmer gives a brief ac-
count of his experience. Is there no
lesson in it for us?
Three years ago l began to raise
few hogs in my lot with mules. 1
first tried one thoroughbred Poland
China SOW and a thoroughbred boar,
but l have done away with the thor
oughbred sows and keep from one
half to three quarters sows and thor
oughbred boar, and 1 think that have
the best hogs l ever saw. L have never
lost one from sickness, and they are
easy to keep growing and the butch
ers will pay more for them than for
the thoroughbred hogs.
THE thoroughbred sows stay so fat
that they do not have pigs enough to
pay for the keeping of them. l have
fifty hogs to sell that will bring about
$3.50 by Jan. 1. l find ready sale for
them to local butchers at 51a to cents,
on foot. My hogs get the waste from
a lot where twenty mules are fed, and
have a ten-acre Bermuda grass pas
ture, with a bayou running through it,
to Craze on. I let them on pea patches
as soon as corn is pulled in Septem-
Der, and feed all the pumpkins they
can eat from then until l sell. My
hogs have not cost be $50 besides the
fencing of corn and pea fields, the
greatest expense being hauling pump
kins. 1t takes very little feed for a
hog on good Bermuda pasture"
