A voucher for $150 for legal services signed by Carpenter and recommend ed for payment by Fields on Oct. r, 1904, was identified by the witness, who said he received the money from the Mutual Life for expenses in con, -nection with a house maintained in Albany. This house was on Madison avenue and had been maintained by the Mutual Life Insurance company for four years. Witness took out the lease of the house at Fields direction. Previous to that houses were main tained on Willett street, another on Lark street, another on Dove street and another on Lancaster street. Eacn was leased for year except the Madi- son avenue house and the Lark street house, which were maintained two diff ferent years.

ARMED THE BAN RICH.
Ex-President Barber Exoner-
 ated General Greene. @
ASPHALT COMPANY AIDED MATOS.
Large Payments Made to Arm and Equip Rebel Warship Used Against
 Castro Administration In
 ~ Venezuela.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.--Amzi l.. Barber, one time president of the Ma tional Asphalt company, testified in the case of the United States of Venezuela against the New York and Bermudez Asphalt company that to the best of his knowledge and belief that com pany did contribute materially to the revolution organized in 1901 by Gen. eral Manuel A. Matos against the Venezuelan government.
 The testimony practically confirmed that of General Francis V. Greene of New York.
 MT. Barber exonerated General Greene from all connection with the payment of money in aid of the Mates revolutionary movement and express ed the belief that General Greene knew nothing about such payment of money until subsequent to the trans action. He was induced to make this statement, he said, by conversations he had had with General Greene, which convinced the witness of General Greene's innocence of any complicity in the transactions between the New York and Bermudez Asphalt company and the Mates revolutionists.
 Mir. Barber testified that he resign ed as president of the National As- phalt company on Jan. 8, 1901, subse- quently sold all his stock and now had no interest in the company or in it's successor, the General Asphalt com pany. He declared that subsequent to his resignation certain officers of the National Asphalt company, of the New Trinidad Lake Asphalt company and of the New York and Bermudez As phalt company did contribute on behalf of the companies large sums of money to General Mates or to his associates to aid revolution against the consu- tuted government of Venezuela and that they furnished the money to pur- chase, arm and equip the steamship called the Ban Righ and further fur nished money to Mates or to his as- sociates with which to purchase large quantity of arms and ammuni- tion which were conveyed by the steamer Ban Righ to the adherents of Mates.
 MT. Barber quoted George W. Elklns, who in 1901 was director of both the National and Bermudez companies, as stating that the New York and Bermu- dez company did assist the Mates rev olutionists with money and contribu- tions.

TRIBUTE TO HENRY IRVING.
Kindliest of Men on Stage and On
 Says Miss Cecilia Loftus.

KindIiest of Men on Stage and on
 Says Miss Cecilia Loftus.
 Miss Cecilia Loftus, the actress, re- gently paid the following tribute to the late Sir Henry Irving, the famous English actor, who was, in a manner, her teacher and leader during ten honthL sk atsge Experience, says u Detroit special dispatch to the New York World:
 q feel that Sir Henry Irving's death was a personal loss to me. He was a most lovable man, and during the sea- son of 1902, in which was member of his company, I learned to love and admire him for his many charming qualities.
 q played Marguerite to his Mephis. topheles in Faust for six months in London and for four months in the provinces, and may say 1t was the happiest and most satisfactory season of my stage experience.
 "On the stage and of Sir Henry was the kindliest of men. That mannerism in speech so much mentioned was nat ural to him, and the tones that were accentuated in order that speech might carry across the footlights became much softer and were pleasantly mod ulated in private conversation. .,SiF Henry had his peculiarities, 1t is true, and they were sometimes dis concerting. For instance, in Faust Mephistopheles in one scene is hidden behind a tree while Marguerite occu- pies the stage. At these times it was Sir Henry's habit to continually read my lines ahead of me, a circumstance that was somewhat confusing. This was a habit that grew upon him with years.
 "while on our tour Miss Terry. Law renee Irving and I occupied a private car with Sir Henry, and used to look forward to each Sunday as time of pleasure, for then the great tragedian descended from his heights and while we trayeled joked and told us funny stories. The last night that I was with him he came to me just as I was about to go on for the jewel scene, and, standing there In his habit as Mephis- topheles. he drew a necklace about my throat. giving me at the same time his best wishes.
 Later we attended a banquet in his honor given by the lord mayor of Liv- erpool and when called upon to re spond to the speeches addressed to him Sir Henry insisted upon rising and tell ing the people assembled that I was about to leave him. how sorry he was and how be hoped I might some time return to his company. It was embar- raising for me. and yet 1t was one of the great pleasures of my life.
 "Sir Heny was a fatherly man to those who were younger than he and whom be liked. remember as bsde him gocdby that night be kissed my forehead and hand and called me his little girl
 You can readily see that all my rec elections of Sir Henry Irving are of the pleasantest. had all along been looking forEnrd to seeing him this year. and it had been my h0pe>that might be associated with him once more professionally"
