denied any knowledge of the letters
purporting to have been written by
John D. Archbold, president of the
standard Oil Company, to Gov. Stone,
bearing upon their appointments,
copies Of which were read by VIM. r.
Hearst, at Brooklyn. on Saturday.
Judge Henderson said:
II never spoke to John d. Arch
bold in my life. never had any
business relations with him. and 1
know of no reason why he should re-
quest my appointment to the Su-
perior Court bench. The first intima-
tion I had Of any such letter as that
read by Mr.. Hearst was when I saw
II in the newspaper. I did not know
Mr.. Archbold had ever communicated
with Gov. Stone on the subject, nor
do I know Of any influence having
been brought to bear upon Mr.. Arch
bold to cause him to make the recon-
mendation.'
Judge Morrison said:
II do not think 1 have seen Mr..
Archbold or had any communication
with him in forty years, and I did
not know that he had written any
such letter to Gov. Stone. / knew
him in the earlier days OF the oil bus
mess in Crawford and Venango coun-
ties, but I do not know what influ-
enced him to write such a letter as
that read by Mr.. Hearst"

THREE PENNSYLVANIA .UyDCES
AND EX-GOV. STONE TALK.
Supreme Court Judge Elkin Denies
Wrong-doing, as, Also Mr.. Stone
and the Two Superior Court Judges,
the Two Latter Expressing Great
Surprise at Contents Of Letters
Read by Editor.

HN'sourg, Pa., Oct. 25.-Justice
John H. Elkin, Of the Pennsylvania
Supreme Court, whose name was in.
troduced by William r. Hearst in the
alleged Standard Oil correspondence.
read by the editor at meeting in New
York last night, denied tonight that
he ever received money for improper
purposes from John D. Archbold, or
ever attempted to influence legisla-
ton In behalf Of the Standard Oil
Company. Justice Elkin came here
today from his home in Indiana, Pa,
to resume his work with the Su-
preme Court, which is in session here.
The letters read by Dditor Hearst,
purporting to be from Archbold. re-
fer to two remittances to Mr.. Elkin.
then Attorney General Of the State,
during the early part Of 1900, one for
$4,000 and the other for $1,000.
Justice Elkin said that since read
ing the correspondence he had not
had an opportunity Of going over his
data to determine whether the facts
stated in the Archbold correspond
ence were correct or not. "You may
say for me. however" ne added "that
never received from Mr.. Archbold,
directly or indirectly, money for any
improper purposes. Neither have
ever made any attempt to influence
legislation in the interests Of the
Standard OH Company"
Former Gov. William A. Stone,
whom Hearst charged with being in
fluenced by Standard OH officials in
the appointment Of Judges. made
this statement tonight:
"Mr. Hearst seems to think that
because lawyer understands the oil
and gas laws Of Pennsylvania he is
disqualified to be Judge. That rule
would make only those eligible who
did not understand laws relating to
oil and gas, and as every lawyer in
Pennsylvania in practice does under
stand the laws relating to oil and gas,
Hearst's rule would compel us to go
into some other State for Judges.
'"The drafts sent to Mr.. Elkin, if
sent to him, were sent while he was
either Chairman Of the State Repub-
lican committee or a member of the
finance committee. It was not i'm
proper for him to receive contribu-
tons for campaign expenses.
"The Judges of Pennsylvania have
the confidence of the people. They
have never been charged with par
tiality to the corporations, nor can
they be so charged justl;
II have no recollection Of receiving
the letters from Mr.. Archbold. 1 did
not appoint Judge Henderson. 1 did
appoint Judge Morrison because OF
my knowledge of his ability and fit
ness for the Bench"

STOPPED TO SALUTE HOGS.
One Man at Least Grateful to the
Source Of His Wealth.

1.-THE Interpreter" In the American
Magazine says of respectful father
he once knew:
isn't it time we took of our hats
and thanked this pleasant land for the
good things 1t has done for us by 60
ing on patiently covering up our blum
ders, rectifying our mistakes, and re-.
spending cheerfully to our every In
teligent effort?
II knew a man out west who had
the right idea about 1t. His father
had made a great fortune in the pork
packing business. The heir was not
pulled up by his millions. Long after
he had grown accustomed to the
money and might reasonably be ex-
pected to look down on butchers, II In
walking in the country with his chill
dren they saw drove OF hogs on the
road, he would make his little boys
stand at attention and take of their
hats. I want them to respect the

MARK TWAIN ON MONEY.
Humorlst Points Out What He Consld-
ers Some Wrong Conceptions.

Mark Twain said that the financial
panic has caused wrong idea of the
use and value Of money.
1.-THE spendthrift says that money,
being round, was made to roll. The
miser says that, being fiat, 1t was
made to stack up. Both are wrong.
Strangely wrong, too, in their ideas
about money are the veteran Aus
tralien gold diggers. These simple
old fellows, though worth perhaps
