thriving youngsters.
Along with these particulars, comes
a strange story, coincidence, which
taxes credulity to its utmost, yet which
is vouchsafed for by Elkanah's leading
citizens. 1t is said that about four
months ago the Joneses possessed @
hen which laid no less than three eggs
per day, and kept this performance ur

New Charges Against Loomis.
A widely published report Of di2

ny, which claimed the famous Mano
concession in Venezuela, has brougL
to public attention the prominent par,
played by men connected with this
company in the appointment Of Fran
els B. LOOMS to the Venezuelan mis-
sion in 1897. Correspondence between
James A. Radcliff of Brooklyn and
Charles S. Kurtz, then chairman of the
Ohio Republican committee, and Mr.
LOOMS is thus brought to light, disclos-
ing an understanding as to the exploit
tation Of Venezuelan concessions. The
report infers that the Orinoco interests
sought in Mr.. LOOMS a minister who
would be friendly to their plans Mr..
Loomis promptly issued a statement
denying in general way all improper
connection with the company or knowl-
edge Of its affairs. Mr. Radcliff, how
ever, contradicts LOOMS in part and
tells how papers containing the history
Of the concession and the company's
plans were handed to LOOMS at the
time of his departure from Venezuela.
