Capitol Grafters In Court.
The five officials indicted for COM
plicity in defrauding the state in con-
nection with the construction Of the
new capitol of Pennsylvania were
brought into cov~ for trial last week.
Attorneys for Jtteph NJ. Huston, the
architect, demanded that he be tried
apart from the other four men. This
was granted and was taken as an in
dication that Huston would testify for
the state. The indictments arose from
the fact that when the capitol building
at Harrisburg had been erected at an
expense of $3,O15, 96S.52 the board of
public grounds and buildings permit
ted the architect and other officials to
expend 100000 in furnishing the
building.

Dec. 10 order Of Justice Gould Of the
District Of Columbia supreme court en-
Joining the federation and Its officials
from making any reference to the case
brought by the Bucks Stove and Range

GUSHING this injunction and to do all in
his power to point out the invasion of

says 1t is their duty to discuss 1t and

consider himself to be violating any

some length he then proceeds to dis

Coal Men to Cut Wages.
At a meeting of the leading soft coal
operators Of the Pittsburg district held
on Jan. 90 1t was decided that the
miners must accept reduction of 10
cents a ton. A committee Of the op-
orators left for the convention Of min
ers being held in Indianapolis to pro-
pose this reduction. In case Of Its rejec-
ton 1t is expected that every mine in
the Pittsburg district, which produces
55,000,O00 tons Of coal annually. will
be closed Immediately. The price now
paid the miners is 90 cents per ton,
the highest price ever paid. The op-
orators declare that the decreased de-
mand and the lowering of the price of
coal necessitate the cut in wages.

Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, head OF the
Christian Science cult, has changed her
residence from Concord, N. H., to
BrooIline, Mass. suburb of Boston.
The removal was made in special
train on Sunday, Jan. &c. She was nc
companied by about fifty of her near
est workers. Outside of these the
change of base came as surprise to
members of the church throughout the
country. The reason generally assigned
for the change is that Mrs. Eddy may
be in closer touch with the Christian
Science headquarters in Boston,, Elk
Senator William g. Chandler, senior
counsel for the protesting heirs in the
suit brought against Mrs. Eddy some
time ago, is reported as saying: "'Now
she has left one prison house for an
other, which has been most strangely
and Enthusiastically arranged for her con-
finement. Mrs. Eddy's conduct is very
strange and must excite the appre-
tensions of her relatives and friends"
The secretary of the American Sab
bath union has addressed an open let
ter to Mrs. Eddy protesting against her
choosing Sunday as the day for NOV
ing to her new home.

CONGRESSIONAL
Aldrich Financial Bill Up.

aI
With numerous amendments design
ed to satisfy critics on the minority
side of the senate and to win support
Of the house majority. the emergency
financial measure fathered by Senator
Aldrich, but In the making of which
Senators Allison and Hale had much
to do. was reported from the-fnance
committee to the senate favorably and
with no general substitute offered by
the Democrats on the committee. This
bill provides for the issuance Of emer-
gency circulation to national banks Sc
cured by state. county, municipal or
railroad bonds. In the hope Of meet
ing objections on the score of Wall
street fayoritism the original bill has
been so modified that the secretary Of
the treasury in. approving applications
for the new circulation may not give
to the banks Of any state more than
their proportion on the basis of capt.
talizatiop and surplus as compared to
the capital and surplus of the banks Of
all the states but If one state fails 10
take out its share that amount may be
awarded to another section. The limit
of this note issue is fixed at $500, OOO,-
600. These notes would be prepared
and signed in blank up to 80 per cent
of the capital stock of the national
banks. The notes are to be taxed at
the rate Of per cent and will be re-
deemable at the treasury Tin lawful
money" The banks will also promise
to pay on demand.
Bryan's Publicity Plea.
William j. Bryan appeared last week
before the house committee on election
of president and vice president for the
purpose Of urging the passage of bill
providing for publicity of campaign
contributions to the political parties.
He took the ground that all arguments
used in elections should be used pub.
licly, and all means. employed to se-
cure the election of or to defeat can.
didate should be means which the one
using them would not be ashamed to
have the world know. He insisted
that the most important thing to be
done was to make the campaign con-
tribution known before the election.

Senators Culberson, Tillman and 9TH

POWER PLANT INSIDE DAM.
Unique House Near Baltimore Con.
structed Under Water.

Baltimore, Md. - An absolutely
unique power plant has recently been
completed about Is miles below this
city on the Patapsco river. 1t Is built
within dam and is entirely under
water. 1t is the first Of its kind ever
built, and cost much less than Ii would
have If built in any other known way.
The dam is 220 feet long, 40 feet
thick at the base and 261s feet high.
The spillway is 1853 feet long, but at
present only 10S feet of this distance
is used for housing the power plant,
The dam is of REINFORCED concrete,
the shell being Is inches thick at the
bottom and tapering to ten inches at
the top.

down from the crown, the remaining
down stream portion being entirely
open and provided with windows by

that the water is thrown some little
distance away from the windows.
The part used by the power house
is fitted with false ceiling hung five
feet from the inside of the dam, SO as
to protect the apparatus from any
water that might seep through tie

The water is fed to the turbines
through steel pipes passing through
the upstream spillway shell, and dis
charged by draft tubes into the base
of the. dam, dropping into well sunk
some three feet below the river bed.
The water passes thence by way Of a
channel constructed in the river bed
out of the dam. The intake is five and
one-half feet below the crest of the
slllway, SO that the trash racks are
kept clear of driftwood, etc.

As the second trial of Harry Thaw
for the murder of Stanford White drew
to a close at New York last week in
terest in the result became intense.
The foreign experts had told of Thaw's
insane periods, Littleton had made the
closing plea with tears in his eyes as
he told the story of the defendants
life, jerome had closed for the state
with some apology for his harshness to
the girl wife and admitting that White
deserved his fate, but holding that
Thaw was responsible, and Judge
Bowling had instructed the jury to the
satisfaction of both sides. The jury,
after being out for twenty -four hours.
returned a verdict of acquittal OH the
grounds OF insanity. Justice Bowling
committed Thaw to the Matteawan
asylum for the criminal insane for an
indefinite period on the ground that his
release would be dangerous to the pub
