$500 MELTED TO A MERE $40
Singular Effect of High Temper
Ature ON n Jersey HOss
Trader.

1t was hot enough to melt almost any
thing on sunday, but George IL. Hudson,
a horse dealer of New Brunswick, n. j.,
refuses to believe the extreme heat caused
his $500 bill to waste away to one Of the
$40 denomination.
That's why he caused the arrest of Ben
jamin Robin, "a years old, who keeps a
horse store In Twenty-fourth street, near
Third avenue, New York. Robin was locAed
up in the East Twenty-second street STA
ton, charged with grand larceny, Hudson
alleging that he made the substitution.
Hudson told the police he came to New
York on Sunday to look over the early fall
styles in horses. He brought a tame 500
bill with him, intending to part with Il in
case he found any stock that struck his
fancy. He visited several exchanges. but
didn't see anything that looked worth
feeding, and he returned home late In The
afternoon, Bright and early yesterday
morning he hurried to the bank to get
room and board for his hul.
Stick this 500 on my account" said Hud
son, showing what he supposed was his SOW
bill tirUugh The window.

Hudson.
No so as you could notice It. Here's
our ten-dollar William. Move along now
and don't block the line"
Hudson took the bill and went into ex-
ecutive session with himself in a corner Of
the bank, Then he remembered having
shown his 500 bill to a horse dealer IN
| New York, who said he had never seen one
OF such large denomination Hudson re.
membsred that the fellow had gone into
ecstacies over the pictures on it, and had
handed Il back 90 him nicely folded. lie
arrived az the East Twsnty-second street
station house and made his complaint and
a little later a policeman arrested Robin.

What's your name?" was the first CUES,

Ben Robin was the reply.
See, he admits w." shouted Hudson,

sapust In this connection the Du-
luth Herald says:
'sSchreiber is most unusual man.
His jailors are unable to fathom him.
"sEither he is not able to understand
Or fully realize what all these misfor-
tunes mean to him, or he has most
remarkable ability to conceal his
feelings.
.His face always bears the same ex-
preston. He greets every body alike,
whether it is his wife, child, or a
stranger. He appears to be interested
in nothing.
HE will answer any question thai
is put to him, but he does not invite
friends, nor does he turn them away.
He seems to have no fear of anything
that could befall him, and his keepers
say that should he be sentenced to
hang, he would undoubtedly walk tc
the gallows with a smile, and his steI
and voice would be as firm as though
he were going to dinner.
"He is either constantly on his
guard or else he cares little about
conversing. He asks no favors from
the jailers, never asks for anything he
knows he cannot have, and seems en-.
tirely satisfied with himself and his
position.

PORK BARREL TO Be TESTED
Senator Cooke of Wabasha EN-.
ploys Counsel to Bring Ac-
ton at Once.
Will Attempt to Enjoin State Au-
ditor from Issuing Warrants.

The constitutionality of the $500, 600
''pork Darrell appropriation author
lied by the last legislature is to be
tested in the courts.
Senator Cooke of Wabasha has en-
ployed w. B. Douglas, former attor-
ney general and associate supreme
court justice, to bring an action to re-
strain State Auditor Iverson from IS
suing warrants under the provisions
of the bill and proceedings will be in
stituted in the Ramsey county courts
at once.
The sspork barrel" law appropri-
ates $500, 600 out of the state revenue
fund and scatters it over the state for
the purpose of building bridges and
improving roads. It is biennial af-
fair and although it has been defended
on the ground that it gives the farmer
his only "dip" into the state treasury.
Prior to the last session the appro-
priation was to be used wholly in the
improvement of country roads.
This year an additional 100000 is
thrown into the barrel and provision
is made for aid to village streets and
the building of bridges within corpor-
ate limits.
Moreover, the state highway COM
mission has nothing whatever to do
with the expenditure of the money thus
appropriated. There is no check on
the persons named to supervise the ex-
penditure and in many cases members
of the Legislature are themselves desig-
mated as the dispensers of the funds.
In fifteen counties the money is turned
over to the county commissioners. In
Brown county it is parcelled out be.
tween cities, villages and townships,
the total sum of s., 500 being placed to
our credit.
Senator Cooke who characterised
the s'pork barrel' as a "grab," has
instructed General Douglas to fight
the case to finish, and no other law
yer in the state, perhaps, is so well
qualified to do so. Douglas drew thu
"good roads'' amendment of 1898 anG
this amendment will undoubtedly figur,
prominently in the coming litigation
