other railway companies of New York, and also of the Insurance companies as developed by the so-called Arm strong legislative Insurance investiga- ton. One of the charges alleged mis- conduct on the part of the district at torney in shaking dice in restaurant In New York city
 On this charge the commissioner said that although the act itself Is not crim- inal, the permitting of 1t on the part of the proprietor of the restaurant is a crime He says, however, that there was no evidence that the proprietor knew that act was committed and that to hold him crlminally liable would be an absurd pervcrsion of the object of the law
 In his general conclusion Comms- sioner Hand says in part. "lt seems probable to mo that the temperament- al qualities of Mr. Jerome have tend Fed to bring upon him this situation, in some degree. A certain self-con6- denoo and contempt of the opinion of h presslon to the verge of recklessness. a certain delight In the exercise of his acutencss of mind and vigor or eX- pression, and a certain lmpatience of criticism have combined l think, to make men far more eager to attack him than they otherwise would have been, But these qualities of mind are not a Just occasion for such charges as have been presented here. and have no real materiality in this lnves- tlgatlon while the fact remains that with the publicity of his life. the frankncss, not to say imprudence oi his self-eXpression were perfectly fam liar to the people of tho county oi New York and were large part oi that in him which commanded theil | admiration and confidence

OLD Jim BRIDeER.
A Rocky Mountain Guido Who Thought
Munehausen Was a Liar.

n ROCKY mountain N5uloo VINO IHou0nt
Munehausen Wac a Liar.
Sir George Gore, q wealthy Irish
sportsman, began in 1855 hunting
expedition among the Rocky noun
tains which occupied two years and
exceeded anything of the kind ever
seen on this continent. The outfit
consisted of fifty persons, including
uecretaries, steward, cooks, hymak-
ers, dog tenders, servants, a train
of thirty wagons and numerous sad
die horses and dogs.
Old Jim Bridger was Sir Georges
guide and interpreter, and no man
on the frontier knew the glens and
passes of the mountains so accurate
ly as he did. Though illiterate and
rs unconventional as an Indian,
Bridger was honest, kind, generous
and shrewd-just the man to at
tract the Irish sportsman.
In his "Old Santa Fe Traip Colo
mel Inman describes the companion
ship of the two men-one a rich,
educated, whole souled Irish noble
man, the other a man who from
boyhood had lived on the plains,
depending on his tact and rifle for
food and life.
Sir George would lie in bed until
10 o'clock in the morning. Then he
took a bath, ate his breakfast and
set out generally alone for the days
hunt. 1t was not unusual for him
to remain out until 10 at night, and
he seldom returned without "meat."
His dinner was then served, to
which he extended an invitation to
Bridger.
After the meal was over Sir
George was In tho habit of reading
from some book and drawing out
from Bridgcr his ideas about the
author.
Tho Irishman usually read from
Shakespeare, which Bridger. reck-
oned was too highfalutin for him.
"Thet thar big Dutchman, Mr..
Fullstuff," he commented, "was a
leetlo too fond of lager beer"
Sir George read the Adventures
OF Baron Munchausen" to Bridger,
who remarked that he'd be dog
goned eff he swallowed everything
that thar baron said. He thought
he was "liar," yet acknowledged
that some of his own adventures
among the Blackfeet would be
equally wonderful of writ down in
a book"
Bridger thought Sir George sue
ccssful hunter, an opinion justified
by the records of the two years
hunt-forty grizzly bears, $500 buff
fnloes, numerous antelopes and 9th
er small game.
