Washington, March 21.-An important
conference was held at the White House
tonight at which the railroad situation

Assistant Secretary of State Bacon,

proposed by Jacob H. Schiff for remedy

The witness explained that shells pick
ed up on the range are saved and de-
capped and then shipped back to the ar
senal. He said that at Fort Niobrara
there was something wrong with Co. BIS
decapper and the shells. more than 1000
in'number, were put in a box and shipped
to Fort Brown to be decapped there. He
didn't know what had become of the box
after the arrival of the company at
Brownsville, but there was considerable
left on the rear porch of the barracks.
The inference plainly shown by Sena-
tor Foraker's questions in this connection
was that this box may have been access!-
BILE to Mexican boys or others and that
shells bearing marks that could be traced
to Co. b rifles may have been carried into
the town and afterwards thrown in the
streets for the purpose of manufacturing
evidence against the negro soldiers.
Senator Foraker had not completed his
direct examination when the committee
adjourned for the day.

HOW THE MOON LOOKS.
Queer Variance In Impressions as to
the Same Object.

Queer Variance In Impressions as to
the Same Object.
I asked my men to compare the size
Of the full moon to that Of some OBJ
ject held in the hand at arms length.
1 explained the question carefully and
said that they were to describe an
object just large enough when seen at
arms length to cover the whole moon.
My list of answers begins as follows:
Quarter of a dollar, fair sized canta-
loupe; at the horizon, large dinner
plate; overhead, dessert plate; my
watch, six inches in diameter, silver
dollar, hundred times as large as my
watch, mans head, fifty cent piece,
nine inches in diameter, grape fruit,
carriage wheel, butter plate, orange,
ten feet, two inches, one cent piece,
schoolroom clock, pea, soup plate,
fountain pen, lemon pie, palm Of the
hand, three feet in diameter-enough
to show again the overwhelming man
afoldness of the impressions received.
To the surprise of my readers per-
haps 1t may be added at once that the
only man who was right was the one
who compared 1t to a pea. 1t is most
probable that the results would not
have been different If had asked the
question on a moonlight night with the
full moon overhead. The substitution
Of the memory image for the immedi-
ate perception can hardly have i'm
paired the correctness of the judg-
ments. If in any court the size Of a
distant object were to be given by
witnesses, and one man declared it as
large as a pea and the second as large
as a lemon pie and the third ten feet
in diameter it would hardly be fair to
form an objective judgment till the
psychologist had found out what kind
Of a mind was producing that est
mate. - Professor Hugo Munsterberg

Clean Chopstieks Sure.

Seeing these quill toothpicks done
up in paper envelopes in the hotels
here" said the man from the far east,
reminds me Of the Japanese eating
places. In the bigger hotels or restau.
rants they hand you the chopsticks
done up in a sealed envelope. This Is
with the idea of convincing you that
they never have been used before,
which is not always SO. In the cheap
er restaurants they have a much bet.
ter plan for setting your mind at rest.
There you get a piece Of wood as
broad as two chopsticks split to with
in an inch of one end. When you take
this piece Of wood you split it the rest
Of the way, and there you have the
two sticks. You can be sure then that
no other person has used them."-New
York Sun.
