The popular sentiment in regard to

American people do not believe that
either Cook or Peary discovered the
pole. In some respects the masses are
far from credulous. They may believe

Columbus, o., March 21-Speaker
Granville w. Mooney has become the
leader in the movement to make the
legislative investigation into the
charges of bribery in connection with
the passage of the Elson telephone
merger bill thorough and far-reacn
ing one. over Sunday he was in con
ence with number of the progres
slves in the house and a resolution
was drafted. for Introduction this
evening, which is intended to take the
place of the Elson resolution which
merely asks for an investigation by n
committee of the house. The resolu-
tion that Mooney favors ased for an
investigation by q Joint committee OF
both branches, with full powers con-
ferred to examine under oath every
member and employ OF the house.
With two members of the house

publicly announced that attempts
were made by the telephone lobby 10

Speaker Mooney and his followers
can't figure that the house would dare

In fact, they believe that before the
Investigation is competed that n bri-

will have been developed.
Governor Harmon Is preparing for
the passage by the senate of the
Bowersox resolution calling on him
for information on which he based his
recent message against pernicious lob

that he had collected he now has the
statement of Representative Pear,
that he is willing to name the lobbyist
who offered him money.
In many quarters u is believed that
the senate will kill the BowersoX reso

senate this evening will vote to take
from the table the governors mes

table as an insult to the governor
but the senate has found out since
that the governor knew what he was

PAPER TEARING
An Explanation of Clever Stage
Trick so an Amateur Can do IL.

From Methods OF Magicians"
In April st, NlchoIas)
The amateur conjurer of twenty
five years ago who was called upon to
"do a trick" frequently responded by
tearing up sheet OF cigarette paper.
rolling the pieces into n tiny ball
and then reproducing the sheet in
tact few minutes later. This was
done by substituting a whole piece
that was concealed between tha
fingers for the torn pieces which,
In turn, were hidden in the mouth
when the performer pretended to wet
his. fingers so as to open out the crum
pled-up sheet.
The trick was almost forgotten,
when II was revived a short time ago
by n public performer, In a shape
more suitable for stage presentations
Instead of a sheet or cigarette paper
strip Of red tissue paper was used
This was about an inch in width ana
yard or so in length. Barring hls

TO show that nothing was concealed

pieces together, tore them In four,

trick did It I cannot say positively,
for he never told me. I have heard
that he used what is known as "a

land it is there the torn pieces are
slowed away before the close of the
trick 1t requires no little practice to
do the trick neatly and properly, but
1t is worth the time spent on 1t.
One objection TO the above method
is the difficulty of getting a WELL
made thimble, and further objection
is in the use of apparatus at all. To
meet these objections / would suggest
another method of which every one
may avail himself.
In this method two strips of tissus
paper are used; red is the better if
n red can be found that will not rub
off when wet, but If that cannot be
had white will do. The size is tina.

piece is plated, not rolled, and con.
cealed i'm a little pocket made of tha
same paper as the strips This pocket
lis pasted on the back of the strip
that is torn about the center. In tear
ingj the strip the performer tears off
one end of the pocket, and, securing
the duplicate strip, holds it between
the second and third fngures of the
left hand. When the strip Is torn in .

which without calling attention to it,
he manages to show are empty, he
seizes one end of the duplicate piece,
and as he draws 1t out foot or so,
blows on 1t, TO do this the left hand
naturally approaches the mouth, and
into 1t, at the first opportunity is
popped the little wad. With this
move the trick is done, but the per
former continues to pull out the strip
and blow on it, until its full length
is revealed This form of the trick,
which is explained now for the first
time has puzzled many professional
magacians.

HOW THE RUSSIAN PAINTER
VERESTCIIAGIN GAAiBLED Z.
AWAY HIS WIFE

once the famous Russian painter,
Verest Chagin, use dtot ravel about
Russia looking for subjects and
models for his pictures. One day
he came upon gypsy encampment.
Among the women was a young girl
of great beauty, with whom he fell
i'm love. She was barely sixteen, and
her parents were very poor. They
asked little for her, and the paint
err married her. The young couple
left the camp at once, and in course
of time went to ST. Peresburg.
Prince Chertkoff used to go TO the
love with the beautiful Olga who was
now mother of a small daughter.
The officer, who knew the story of
his friends marriage, asked him If
he were not tired of her. AT first
the painter laughed at the question;
then he said mo" and finally when
II was repeated many times he re-
ceived 1t in silence, ope winters
evening Chertkoff came in, and MS
usual suggested game of cards. "I
would play with pleasure" the artist
said, "but have no money"
Chertkoff laughed. "Wel then" he
retorted. "let us play for love-the
stakes to be Olga" They both laugh
ed sat down to play. The game
got interesting, then absorbing. AT
dawn they ate Il hasty meal and sat
down again. The artist always lost.
They agreed to stop at noon, because
Chertkoff had business, and Olga
watched them, perhaps not i'll pleasA
ed because she might exchange the
studio for a more exciting life, for
the officer was energetic and, people
said, likely to make career BY
noon the artist was still the loser
Chertkoff rose and looked MT Olga
1T Is for you TO choose" he said
She got up and went for her cloak.
Then she spoke TO the artist
you are tired Of me-" she said
II so with him. but only on condi-
tion that he marries me today. And

as well''
Chertkoff went to a priest and told
his story.
I'VE do not recognize gypsy mar
rlages. She can be your wife at once
IL you wish"
And so Olga became Princess
Chertkoff. She was a clever woman
as well as handsome one, and In
a few months his gipsy became fash
ionable in circles where many are re-
fused an entrance. A few years later
her husband rising from one post to
another became Governor of the
Province of wilma. then of the Cau-
casus, and, finally, Viceroy of Po-
land. People say she was cruel and
revengeful, and that she urged her
husband to many cruel acts, until at
last he died, very old man, hated
but feared. The Princess returned to
Russia, handsome old woman, with
queenly air and cruel eyes.-From

peacefully as prayer meeting, with
Uncle Joe in their chair as usual.
Only routine business was transact
ed uring the first half hour and on
the surface, there was not the slight

fences OF last week.
Nearly the entire membership was
on hand, however, and the cloak
rcms and corridors were filled With
congressman, asking each other,
Whats the next move?"
The galleries. too, were crowded
with visitors, who evidently expected
something to break loose before the
end of the day.
At first the speaker had hard work
to suppress the buzz of conversation.
He looked ten years older than he
did week ago, when the insurgents
first began their capers and he
pounded his desk little harder and
more petulantly than usual.
"The house must be in order" he
said "in order to do business"
Then a little later, he said; "The
