The Power Of Words.

Words, What little things they
are! How prodigal we are in their
use! We scatter them on every hand
as care'essly as autumn breezes scat
ter the fallen leaves. We think little
before we utter them, and often little
after they are gone. A single word
may sting like an adder. or sooth like
oil. 1t can thrill to action, drive to
madness or lead to despair. 1t can
cut the heart like sorrow, or cheer
it like sunshine. 1t can produce any
one Of ten thousand different emo
tions. No small amount of the happi-
ness and misery of this world is due
to words. ,.....
Look to your words. Never, speak
bitterly. Never use words that will
not square with the truth. Never
utter those which are weighted with
malice or anger of frivolity, of jeal-
ousy or coarseness or irreverence or
unkindness Of any kind. Never use
words that have in them an evil
spirit. Use gentle words. "a soft
answer turneth away wrath" Use
appropriate words. "A word fifty
spoken is like apples of gold in pic
lures of silver" Use kindly words.
No unpleasant reaction will follow
their use They will make no wounds
and tear open no old sores. Use SYM
pathetic words. They will pour SUM-
shine into many mans cloudy day.
Study your words. Avoid those that
are acid. Choose those that are
sweet.

The Irish LANGUAGE.

The Irish language has, only eighteen
letters. Sometimes each letter is writ
ten separately and not Joined together.
The chief difficulty in learning Irish is
that there are numerous authorizations
for words and phrases. The Irish Ian
guage is nom phonetic, the words rare
ly being key to the correct pronun-
citation.

GRAFT SENSATIONS
ST|RS GREEN BAY

Green Bay, Wis, Mar. 23.-Dfstrict
Attorney Samuel H. Cady exploded
one of the greatest sensations of re-
cent years in this city yesterday when
he appeared before the county board
and applied for the appointment of y
special assistant to work with him in
prosecuting a total of 26 alleged fell
onies he says he has uncovered ia
municipal grating not touched By
grand jury investigation of several
years ago. Many other cases are uIh
covered in which the district attorney
has not sufficient evidence to warrant
prosecutions. Indications are that
the grand jury graft investigation and
subsequent prosecutions will be mere
to be started First on the list was
the arrest of Charles M. Carpenter,
the Barber Asphalt company's Wis
cOnsin agent, for alleged payment CT
a $500 bride to Aid. Henry Perth in
1901. BribeTies involving the amounts
from 500 upwards, with only two for
less than $50, are alleged in forth
coming prosecutions This Informs
ton in possession of the district attoF-
ney was secured largely through de-
tailed confession of former Ala
George J. Schwartz, awaiting sentence
jury, and that Schwartz's sentence 10
be suspended because of the comics
sion. The grand jury several years
ago returned 81 indictments. bat
there were only two convictions. Two
defendants pleaded guilty and She
other cases were abandoned. Half .
dozen are still pending.

TRACING YELLOW
DOG FORTUNES
COMMITTEE MAKES REPLY TO
HAMILTON.
PRAYS FOR ACCOUNTING
DispIeasure Expressed Because
ANDY Remains Shy About Tell
ina What He Did With 81 100000
He Received From the New York
Life for Legislative Service"

New York. March PA reply to
Andrew Hamilton's letter refusing to
appear before the Fowler investigating
committee of the New York Life In
surance company was given out last
night by Clarence H. Mackay, acting
chairman of the committee. The let
ter quotes in full certain messages
and cablegramS passing between Ham
ilton and the committee, this CORE
spondence indicating, the committee
members declare, their desire to Sc
cure an accounting of large sums Oh
the company's money placed in the
hands of the legislative agent.
The committee desired your pres
ence,'' the letter says, because it was
charged with the duty of ascertaining
not only what monies you had re-
eeived, but what you had done with
them. That duty was imposed upon
it by the mandate of the Armstrong
committee. The main question be-
fore the committee as to your mat
tiers, was what had you done with the
company's monies, amounting to
about $1,3OO000, which in one way or
another had come into your hands
during the past ten years. You alone
could tell US as to the great bulk Oh
them. Something over 100000 ap-
pears from your vouchers to have
been paid to you for legal services.
Your receipts for 100000 or there
abouts, received for what has been
called your legislative bureau, were
simply receipts in the ordinary form
and throw no light on what you had
done with the money. They did not
show, nor did any records or books
of the company, that there was a
legislative or secret service bureau,
or that you were engaged in any such
work Vouchers you signed for vari-
Gus sums aggregating $235,000, which
Mr. Mccall repaid because you did
not, read that you were to account for
them. AT that time you were acting
in legal capacity for the company
in connection with its real estate pur-
chases and mortgage loans. There
was no reason for any one on the
auditing committee to suspect that
YOU would not account in accordance
with the terms of the vouchers,
though you have not done So
After referring to other of Hamil-
toms transactions disclosed in the in
surance investigation, the letter con-
tinues:
These facts make clear the reason
why the committee desired from you
info, nation that you could furnish
as to the use and disposition Of these
formation disclosed that any of these
sums had been used by you for inn
proper purposes there would have
been no shielding by this committee
Of any officer or trustee who had ap-
proved such payments"
The concluding paragraph is:
Your statement that any document
in the company's official files which
has been brought to the attention Oh
the committee, or any official action
spread upon the records Of the pro
ceedings of this committee, or any
correspondence TO which it has had
access, has been ignored by it to give
false color to any of your transactions
or to make unwarranted accusations
against you, is absolutely without the
slightest foundation

PATTERSON MAY DIE.
Governor of Ohio Believed to Be in
Critical Condition

Columbus, O., Mach 23-Although
Governor Pattison is reported con
siderably improved, in an official bull
letin issued last night by the attend
ing physicians, the belief prevails
that his condition is very grave. The
physicians refuse absolutely to dis
cuss the governors condition and
nothing is obtainable from them out
side Of the formal statements issued
to the public. Members OF Governor
Pattison's family are equally retfcent.
All that is known to the public up
to this time regarding the nature OF
Governor Pattison's illness is that he
is suffering from nervous prostratlon.
Reports to the effect that kidney
trouble has complicated his illness
are neither affirmed nor denied by the
physicians.

Officers in Danger.

Inspection at the war department
of the bill abolishing the grade of
lieutenant general of the army after
October II next, which has passed the
house, makes it appear to the officials
that as it stands the bill, though in
tended to wipe out this rank only
after that date, would really relegate
to the grade of major general on the
retired list or perhaps drop out of the
army Generals Miles, Young, Chaffee,
Bates. Corbin and Macarthur. This
would follow from the failure of the
house to limit the proposed abolition
to officers on the active list.
