Chicago, July 6.-The name Of Thorn
as Taggart of French Lick Springs
Ind, former chairman Of the Demo-
cratic national committee, was brought
into the record of the Ella Gingles trial
in Judge Brentano's court here today.
The young Irish lacemaker, on cross
examination, had told of the alleged
search of her room by Miss Agnes Bar
rette, her accuser. and the late Mrs.
Kenyon, looking for lace which Miss
Barrette claimed Miss Gingles had
stolen. This brought the story around
to Miss Gingles' visit to Miss Barrette's
room at the Wellington hotel, when, ac-
u3rding to Miss Gingles, she was fOrci-
bly, disrobed by Miss Barrette and Mrs.
Kenyon.
Did you night against Them" asked
States Attorney Short.
Yes, until 1 was worn out with cry
/ ing and my exertiOns."
Was any man mentioned?'
Yes"
Who was it,
Ct don't remember"
Try"
1T was Tom Taggart. I believe"
Are you sure LIfdl was tue name
Yes"
You knew he was proprietor of
French Lick SpTings?"
Yes. ----------
Are you sure you heard that name
there?"
Yes"
Isn't it a fact that you were told
that name to make a sensation in your
story?"
mo. sir
Who mentioned the name?"
Miss Barrette. She said, If Taggart
were only here.
Last Friday Miss Gingles testified
that she had been told she could have
money. good clothes and no work if she
would go to French Lick Springs.
What did you think when Miss Bar
rette told you the advantages of this
visit2" Mr.. Short asked today.
7 thought she meant I was to marry
a man.
1t is the theory of the state that the
young Irish lacemaker is a victim Of
mytheomania. firmly believing that the
remarkable stories she has told are the
truth.

Samples of Witty Speeches.

One of his first speeches to attract at
tentiOn touched on the effects of the
panic OF 1898. In describing the impover-
ished condition to which his constituents
were reduced. he said they were forced to
live Oh clans, washed ashore by the in
coming tide. Their stOmaChs, he con-
cluded, rose and fell with the rising and
falling of the tide" He will probably be
long remembered by reason Of the eff
fectiveness of his humOT in the debates
on the Payne tariff bill in the house. His
speech in defense of retaining the duty on
lumber secured several additional votes
on the schedule. Cushmans acQuiescing
TO a rule for a vote on the Payne bill,
with reduced rates on lumber, assured its
passage. In describing TO the house his
feelings he liSened them to those of a
COW puncher in Wyoming whose ability
to raise LOCO cattle in one summer with
one cow as a starter, caused a rope to be
placed around his neck by a vigilance
committee.
They asked Bill what he had to say"
explained Mr.. Cushman.
"Old Bill rolled his Quid into the other
cheek and said: Well. gentlemen.

Washington. July 6.-While Representa-
tive Cushman possessed unchallenged the
title of house humOrist," he was univer-
sally regarded as far more than that.
His high ability was recognized by
Speaker Cannon in committee appoint
ments, particularly in his selection TO fill
a vacancy on the ways and means COM
mittee at time when a great tariff bill
was to be reported to the house for con-
sideration.
One striking thing about Representative
Cushman was that he never displayed his
gift of humor to the house for its amuse-
ment. but always with a view of Impress
ing his views more forcibly upon that
body. In contrast with humOrists who
have passed into history, his fame does
not rest on a single speech His maiden
effort i'm the house attracted 50 much at
tention to him that ever thereafter he
gained a hearing as soon as he arose
His style of expression and his homely
appearance had quite as much to do with
the effect as humorous remarks.

is HEAD OF HER FAMILY.

The Dutch woman of South Afri-
ca is the head of her family and
must be obeyed by husband as well
as children. She marries very young
and has large family. The wom-
an of the cities is very different,
having good education, and when
she finishes in Europe she is most
attractive creature, with great ca
paeity for enjoyment. She is likely
TO be musical, but not literary, as the
Dutch Of that country have not
reached that phase of development.
The women of South Africa are
very much taller than the women of
Holland, and the city-bred girl is
generally slender and rather pretty,
which the Boer woman never is, be-
ing fat and fgureless at 80.

GOLDEN ROD AS A REMEDY
Plant Dedicated to ST. Augustine OF
Hippo Was Once Used by
Physicians.

st. Augustine of Hippo, the great
doctor of the church whose festival
fell on August %, is a sadly neg
lected saint among modern ritual
lists, and even occasionally confused
with the nanesake who insulted our
British bishops. Yet he is pro-
nounced by Hooker without any
equal" and regarded by Harnack
as "the first modern man." He has
been better honored in the floral
world, for to him is dedicated the
golden rod or wound wort (Solida-
go virgaurea. Old Gerarde, with
whim this was favorite remedy,
tells us that golden rod fetched a
high price as a foreign herb until
discovered growing near London,
when the plant was neglected. He
adds the caustic comment: '9This
yerifeth our English proverb Far
fetcht and dear bought is best for
ladies' or for fantastical physi-
clans" Before tobacco the golden
rod also furnished snuff for our me-

CAN TRUNDLE HEAVY LOADS
Chinese Coolies Able to Transport
Nearly Half a Ton on Peculiar
WheeIbarrow.

In the WheelbarroW used in China
the wheel is set in the center, and
this supports practically the entire
load, while the handles are support
ed in part by a strap or rope over
the shoulders of the man who oper-
ates it.
As result the coolie in China
will transport nearly half a ton on
his wheel. Wheelbarrows are much
used in the country, where the roads
are but little developed, and we
have heard that passengers some
times make the entire trip from
Shanghai to Pekin, a distance of
500 miles, by barrow.
A tWo-passenger barrow will make
about 20 miles a day, and the coolie
is content with a pay Of about 20
cents day, or an average of about
half cent a mile for each passen.

STRENUOUS EMPRESS.

The empress dowager of China is
a woman Of spirit. One of her chief
recreations is wrestling with the
women of the court. In her palace
is a vast apartment set aside for the
practice, and each afternoon she
has a turn or two with her attend
ants. Some time ago it was sug-
gested to the empress that fencing
would be a variation. She agreed
to the proposal, and European
drill sergeant was engaged. But
the first lesson settled the en-
press views. Fencing was too tame.
After the demonstration she went
up to the instructor, took his foil
from him, flung it to the other end
of the room, and seized the sergeant.
After a severe struggle she made
him touch the ground with both
shoulders.

TWO GREAT ORATORS.

As an orator Demosthenes was
head and shoulders above the Ro-
man. The great Athenian stands in
class all by himself, if we are
to believe the consensus of learned
opinion. Cicero, it is said, prided
himself on his faculty of extempor-
ling at need, but probably trusted
little to it on great occasions; while
with Demosthenes it was the rule
never to speak without the most
careful preparation. The speeches
Of both were spoken without manu-
script. They would never have
made the reputation they did if they
had been tied down to their notes.
