LIND SEEKS CASH
DUE LUMBERMEN
Thousands Tied Up in Federal
Treasury by Blunder of a
Clerk.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Representative
Lind has taken active steps to secure
refund of between $4,000 and $780,
900 now held in. the treasury which
legally belongs to Minnesota lumber
men who cut timber on the Cass Lake
reservation last winter and whose con-
tracts with the government have been
settled.
This money was deposited by the
lumbermen when they made contracts,
in the shape Of checks for 20 per cent
Of the amount Of their bids, to secure
the faithful performance of their con-
tracts. Thru a blunder Of some one
in the interior department, the checks
were covered into the treasury, and,
instead Of being applied as part pay
'ment for the timber cut, the contractors
were requlred' to pay certain proper,
lions from time to time until they had
paid for the timber in full.
After settling for the timber they
asked for a refund Of the money de-
Torrance of the contract, but were met
by a decision Of the controller OF the
treasury that money once deposited in
the general fund Of the government
could not be paid out without the spe-
cific authority. of congress.
Representative Lind took the matter
up with officials OF the Indian office,
ment, and finally secured a promise that
| a letter would be sent to congress ask
ing for an immediate appropriation to
reimburse these lumbermen. 1t will be
sent in within a week, but it is prob
able that it will be some time before
| an appropriation can be made. Mr.
Lind says he may not be able to get the
item in any bill in the house, as it will
be subject to a point Of order, but he
| will arrange with Senator Nelson to
have it put on some bill in the senate
There is no doubt about the justice of
| the claim and none that the appropria.
ton will be made in some form or an.
other in the present session.

: Cuban Social Life

Especial CorrespondenceJ

Much has been written about the
picturesqueness of Cuba's capital, its
climate, its attractions as winter
resort, but little has been said about
its social life, and that is rather an
important feature In a city of 100000
inhabitants. Tourists who come to
Havana for few days. unless they
bring letters of introduction, see
nothing of the social life of the city,
and many complain that the women
there are neither beautiful nor well
dressed. But that is from lack of OPP
portunity for seeing at close range
the members of Havana's best society.
In New York would foreigner be apt
to meet the best people while climbing
the statue of Liberty or in a hasty
visit to the city hall the stock ex-
change or various amusement halls

frequent? Then neither can the sight.

THE EAR OF THE COURT.
Counsel at Last Had Got What He
Desired.


Many years ago, when Hugh L.
Bond was Judge of the United States
Circuit Court, and was holding a term
of the court in Raleigh, N. c., the
late Henry A. Gillian, afterward
Judge of the Superior Court of this
state, appeared as counsel in some of
the cases that were being tried before
the Baltimore Judge During these
trials the rulings of the court were
uniformly against the clients of Judge
Gillian, and frequently Judge Bond
would say to Judge Gillian that there
was no merit in his contentious and
instruct him to proceed to something
else.
After the session of the court had
been concluded, Col John W. Hins-
dale, one of the leading lawyers OF
the court, gave a dinner to Judge
Bond, and invited all the Raleigh
lawyers who had attended the
court.
In the meantime Col. Hinsdale had
asked Judge Bond what was his Ia
vorite dinner dish and had been told
hogs head and turnip sallett."
Judge Bond occupied the head of
the table, and notifing the dish of
hogs head and turiip sallft fmme-
diately before him had tie waiter

with his compliments. The waiter
did so, and Judge Gillian seized the
knife and commenced to saw on the

this was the first time during the
week that he had had the ear of the
court. "-New York Times.

Value of study of er.sL

President Hadley of Yale has lately
declared that the old school college
and university instructors who set
great store upon Greek as a means Of
mental discipline and development
were half right and half wrong. They
were right, he says, in holding that
hard work and precision of thought
were more important by far than Inn
mediate utility or the students ma
