CAPTAIN MACKLINs BELIEF
He Does Not Believe the Negro Soldiers
''Shot Up BrownsvilIe-Suspi-
cious Shot Collections.

Washington, April 2. = The testi-
money of Captain Edward A. Macklin,
of company G, Twenty-ffth infantry,
was taken by the senate committee on
military affairs in the Brownsville in
vestigation. 1t proved interesting par
ticularly for the reason that Macklin
in reply to the question by Foraker
"WhO shot up the town? Said,
well, 1 don't think it was the men"
Also it was interesting from the
fact that he corroborated what other
witnesses had said-that empty shells
found in Brownsville the morning aft
or the firing were found, six or seven
in bunch, in a circular space about
ten inches in diameter, an impossible
position unless placed there by hand.

Little Girl Rifles the Private Boxes in
PostOffice Because She Saw Their
Owners Do So.

Peru, Ind, April 2. little girl,
scarcely 7 years old, lettering in the
lobby of the postoffice. noticed patrons
taking letters from their private boxes,
usually walking away without locking
the boxes, and she followed their ex-
ample, opening all letters which she
could reach and throwing away the
contents. She took a check calling for
$l45 addressed to the Parkhurst Ele-
vator company, which she gave to a
friend, and in this way knowledge of
what she was doing reached the post
Office officials.
Another check for STA was thrown
on the floor. The little girl acknowl-
edged that she had been taking letters
for some time. and she did not seem
to realize that it was wrong for her
to tamper with the boxes. Owing to
her youth no prosecution will follow,
but her parents have been instructed
to keep her away from the postotfice
Hereafter patrons will lock thei1
boxes.

In view of the recent frightful acct
dent from an explosion of gas in one
of the coal mines at Reden, Germany,
which killed $50 miners, 1t is interest
ing to learn that the Prussian authori-
ties have so improved the appliances
needed in coal mining and have adopt
ed so many precautionary measures to
protect the lives of miners that while
on the average ST. miners out Of every
million annually lost their lives during
the decade 1881 80 this record has been
steadily reduced until in 1905 only
Twenty-Five to the million persisted

Lottery and Policy.

Lottery gambling is supposed to be
a dead game at last, and, strangely
enough, a revival of policy gambling is
reported in New York city, the old
headquarters of this vice. Policy and
lottery worked together in the old days
of the Louisiana lottery, when news
papers openly advertised ticket sales
and drawings. Fifteen years ago the
state of Louisiana abolished the draw
ings in that city by refusing an ex-
tension of charter, and the big wheel
was removed to Honduras. 1t is be-
lieved that the sale of tickets has been
stopped in the United States.
The chief scandal of the lottery bust
ness was its use to rob the very poor
by means of policy. The policy game
was to sell slips containing numbers
every day. The policy men alleged
that drawings took place in New Or
leans daily, although the lottery wheel
was supposed to turn but once month
in the presence of witnesses. People
could play policy by small change In
vestments ranging from a nieke! up
ward. Small winnings were paid as 6
bait for further playing, but when s
policy slip contained a number which
won a big prize in New Orleans it wa;
not paid. Policy kings got rich unit
the authorities stamped out the games

indianapolis, April "A minimum
temperature of "a and a killing frost
played havoc, apparently, with the
fruit in the neighborhood of Indianap-
oils Sunday night Fruit growers say
that it is not possible to tell just now
the amount of damage done, but they
are of the opinion that the damage
is very serious. 1t is probable that the
plum and peach crops have suffered
most, with the cherries and apples
next The flowers were heavy suffer
ers. Garden truck, it is said, was not
sufficiently advanced to have suffered
heavily.
Bright Sun Made 1t Worse.
The fact that the sun came out SO
brightly will have the result of cauS-
ing greater damage than If the day
had been cooler and cloudy thus al
lowing a gradual passing away of the
cold, as it is the rapid thawing that
causes the chief damage. 1t is said
that if the vegetation that has been
frosted is sprinkled early the follow
ing morning, before it is reached by
the rays of the sun, it may often be
saved.
Low Temperatures Elsewhere.
Indianapolis had much company in
its low temperatures. The following
reports of minimum temperatures fol
the twenty-four hours ended at Z a
Gus stations in Indiana: Auburn, 10
Bloomington, %; Cambridge City, %

some comfort, however, for the fore
cast is for fair weather with risinl
temperature.
