REGARD IT AS UNFR|ENDLY
MANY PUBLISHERS ATTITUDE
AS TO PENDING INQUIRY.
Little Information Furnished to the
House Special Investigating
Committee.

When the wood pulp and print paper
investigating committee of the House met
today John Norris. the representative of
the American Newspaper Publishers
Association. placed in evidence a letter
from Carl Riordan. general manager Of
the Riordan Paper Mills of Ontario. show
ing that the labor cost per ton of pro-
duction is as high in Canadian mills as
In United States mills and in some in
stances higher. according to Mr. Riordan.
Chairman Mann stated that the COM
mittee had requested the bureau of labor
to furnish certain information but that
the commissioner had informed him the
bureau could not supply all Of it. What
he has sent continued Mr.. Mann. 'is
from the la Dor bulletin of 1897. that we
have been over repeatedly. Like all sta
tistical bureaus of the government it is
impossible to obtain satisfactory informa-
ton from it,
Replies From Newspapers.
Mr. Norris submitted copy of letter
which was yesterday sent out by the
American Newspaper Publishers Associa-
ton to 1900 publications in addition to
a telegram to 1.3Oo newspapers urging
full and prompt reply by newspapers to
the committee. The kilograms were sent
Tuesday and the letters yesterday.
This comes rather late" said Mr.. Staf-
ford because the committee is receiving
any number of return blanks in which
the information has not beeu furnished"
Il suppose" nterjected Chairman
Mann. that is for the purpose of show
ing that your members would not an
swer unless instructed to do So
No replied Mr.. Norris but there is
a feeling among some of the members
which / confess was quite general. after
our. coming here that the inquiry was
not a friendly one. and they therefore
hesitated about making any answer.
these kilograms and letters are for the
purpose of urging newspaper publishers,
whether connected with our organization
Or not. to cooperate in order that a full
and sufficient inquiry might be possible
and to dsabuse their minds of any
thought that there should be any antago-
nism to thorough investigation"
Some Publishers Not in Accord.
In yesterday afternoons session Mr.
Norris said that the New York Herald
New York World and New York Jour-
nal have low-price contracts for paper
In reply to d question by Mr.. Ryan as
to whether any of the newspapers
which were receiving their paper at $40
ton or less were complaining of the
price, Mr.. Norris mentioned the New
York World as one and said possibly
there were others. He also s.id that
one or two members of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association were
not in accord with the present demand
Also, he continued. "a number of
newspapers. some of them members of
the association and some of them not
are opposing it on the editorial side and
favoring 1T on the business side.
Then there are a number of papers
which sell at 3 cents. which by reason Of
the fact that they think that anything
that Increases the cost of producing the
one-cent paper will help them (the three
cent papers) are opposing any action by
Congress-"

Sly Old Commodore.

"When Commodore Vanderbilt was

cial, ''the board Of directors of the
New York Central used to find their
work all cut out for them when they
met All they had to do was to ratify
his plans and adjourn. Yet they had
their uses. Occasionally a man would
come TO him with some scheme which
he did not care to refuse outright.
My directors are a difficult body
of men to handle he would say. III

they are hard to manage
The matter would be submitted to

WONDERS OF THE HUMAN BRAIN.

The human brain is the most
marvellous machine in the world. says
Harper's Magazine. 1t occupies less
space in proportion to it's capabilities
than any machine it ever invented.
1t sends a special nerve to every
ultimate fiber of some sou muscles,
20 many thousand branching twigs of
arteries. to every pinhead area of the
mum eroas glands which keep the ma
chine properly oiled, heated or cool
ed, to some IL square feet OF skin,
which is the outpost guard OF it's
castle, with such completeness that
the point of pin can not find an
area unguarded. 1t possesses special
quarters for the reception and trans
latIon of constant stream of vibra-
tions that are the product of all things
nova BILE and still in the outer world.
On the retina of every open eye is q
picture of the outer view, focused
imprint of every ray of light and
color, and in the visual chamber OF
the mental palace stands microscope,
magic lantern that receives the
'retinal picture in its billion speeding
series of light waves and throws them
upon it's mental screen as a living
moving picture of light and shade
and color. In the chamber of sound
is vibraphone, over whose active
wires passes every wave OF sound,
from the dripping of the dew 30 the
orchestral fortissimo, from the rauc-
Gus screech of the locomotive to the
signing of the wind through the
meadow grass. In the chambers set
apart for scent and taste and touch
are the secret service guards To re
port upon the air and food which
give sustenance 10 the palace, and
upon the solid qualities of the
tactile world. And, wonder of all
wonders, this complex human brain

Generous Mrs. Crewe.

A gambling story is told of Charles
James Fox that rather reflects on his
honor. He was one Of the ardent ad-
mirers of Mrs. Crewe, a noted beauty
of her day, and 1t is related that gen.
tleman lost a considerable sum to this
lady Mt play and, being obliged to
leave town suddenly, gave Mr.. Fox the
money to pay her. begging him to apol-
ogize To her for his not having paid
the debt of honor in person. Fox lost
every shilling of it before morning.
Mrs. Crewe often met the supposed
debtor afterward and, surprised that
he never noticed the circumstances. at
length delicately limited the matter ia
him.
BLESS mew said he. II paid the
money to Mr.. Fox three months ago."
"Oh, did you, sir?" said Mrs. Crewe
good naturally. 'Then probably he
paid me, and forgot It,"

Risky Revenge.

Gaganini, the wonderful violinist
had narrow escape at Ferrara from II
violent death. Enraged by some kissing
from The pit, he resolved to avenge the
insult, and at the close of his pro-
gramme informed the audience that he
would initiate the language of various
animals. After having rendered the
notes of different birds, the mewing Of
n cat, and the barking of a dog, he ad-
vanced to the footlights, and. saying,
