wears while he was body servant and
butler to Samuel j. Tilden he came to
know most of the men prominent in pol
tics Mr. Tflden was saved much
trouble and many annoyances through
Gilbert who also had a reputation for
truth telling.
A story told Of the major domo's
veracity is that on one occasion when
Grover Cleveland was closeted with
TiIden, a well known politician came 10
the door and inquired if Mr.. Cleveland
was with Mr. Tilden. Gilbert, somehow
divining the importance of secrecy, hur-
ried out, saying that he would see. Gil
bert quickly entered the conference room

back yard, asking him TO stay there for
an instant. Immediately thereafter the
politician was informed that Mr.. Cleve-

Mr.. Brown said in part:
The most portentous cloud discernibIe

IN price of everything that goes TO make
up the cost of living.
This unusual phenomenon of steadily ris

Portant, as well as interesting problems

day. Economists agree that there is di-
rect relation between the quantity of gold

industrial condition. The gold production

GAME PROTECTION
Long Island Association Wants

Disregard OF the game laws has been so
prevalent Long Island for some years
that the Long Island Game Protective Asso-
citation has concluded that radical changes
are necessary. The pothunters for years
have regarded the bays as their special
preserves, to be shot over when they
please. All sorts of instances OF Illegal
shooting of game have come 10 the notice
OF the society. and il thinks that the time
for reform has arrived
AT the annual meeting to-day, at 3:15
m, in the rooms of the New York Board
or Trade and Transportation, No. aOS Broad
way. the association will discuss remedial
measures which 1t wishes brought before
the Legislature at this session.
one of the steps contemplated Is to make
the season for water fowl of all kinds end
on January l. Heretofore the season for
duck has ended in January and the season
Tor brant in March. but as far as the dates
go they have amounted to nothing. for the
Dang of the pump gun has resounded after
the season closed just as merrily before.
Another law that is proposed is against
the sale or exhibition of game IN New York
out of season. Various laws in various
states now prevent the shipping out of the
state of game when the closed season ends

Importation of venison, water fowl and the

Everybody knows that while the game
may not have come from this state. it must
nave come from somewhere and that lille
gal shooting has been going on in Jersey
or Maryland or somewhere else"

money from gun licenses go back to it for
the support and employment of more game

Grand Jury Finds Only Isolat-
ed "White SldUe" Cases.

George Kibbe Turner. the magazine
writer whose article was largely respon-
sible for the outcry against the so-caIled
white slave traffic, completed his testi-
mony yesterday before the special grand
jury which is Investigating that matter

reported an adjournment for the day she rt-
ly after noon.
Though Turner's testimony. 1t is under
stood. has furnished the grand jury with
numerous leads and much general infor-
nation. 1t is also said that sufficient definite
information on which to find indictments has
not been furnished by the writer.
Isolated cases of white slavery cropped
up in the police magistrates courts yester-
day. but in none of them has there been
disclosed any organized clique.
Judge OSullvan ordered the grand Jury
to reconvene this morning and II is ex-
pected that governmental witnesses and
possibly members or investigators OF the
federal and state immigration commissions
will offer their testimony.
Practical admissions were made yester-
day by men who have been engaged in the
investigation that no clique of white
slave" traders existed, or could he shown to
exist. further than the bare proposition that
one of them in trouble with the authorities
would be helped by the others
