fused to Sell the New York Times
So Contemplated Exposure
Could Be Prevented.

One hot day in the midsummer of
1871 George Jones, at that time pro-
prietor of the New York Times, took
his accustomed seat in little billiard
saloon which occupied part of the
basement of the old Times building
an Printing House square. Mr.. Jones
Was very fond of the game OF bill
yards, although he did not play 1t
himself, and it was his habit to spend
a half hour at noon each day. II he
had leisure, watching the billiard ex'
Derts.
On the day in question Mr.. Jones
was suddenly called from his place
BY a messenger who had evidently
been sent from his private Office on
the main floor of the Times building.
In that office he found - lawyer and
a man of business. both Of whom he
recognized at once as personal
friends of William M. Tweed. who
was the boss of New York city.

with Mr.. Lewis J. Jennings. then the
managing editor Of the Times and
afterward a member of the English

After the formal greetings were
over, one of the gentlemen said I'd

Stuff and nonsense!' But think
there's something in it.

most, Is a chance to sleep nights. I

says, Stuff and nonsense!'
"She says that I'm just a theoriz-

things ought to be, and then think
that's the way they are. But she
says that If we have children over
head we get their noise all day. and
the noise Of the grown-up people at
night just the same. There may be
cases in which the people do keep
quiet on their children's account. but
to rely on anything Of this sort would
be taking frightful chance, for. on
the other hand, there are people who
put their children to bed nights and
shut up their rooms and then go
ahead just the same and have card
parties and sing and dance till 2
o'clock in the morning. and their
children never know it. but we know
1t, and We know it again a little later
when their children are up and
pounding up and down the hall at 6
o'clock, so that we can't sleep then.

FOOT OF THE BEE.

Strong Claws and Flexible Pads For
Rough and Smooth Surfaces.
The seeming miracle of insects walk
ing nonchalantly on ceiling Is ex
planned by Tickner Edwardes, chair
man of the British Beekeepers' asso-
citation. IN his book on The Lore of
the Honeybee." Insects owe such pow
er, 1t appears, to an ingenious device
which IS well illustrated In the foot OF
the bee.
She has pair Of short. strong dou
BILE claws. which will take her securely
over all but the smoothest and shiniest
surfaces. and 1t is with these claws
that bees form themselves into dense
clusters and knots and cables within
the hive. holding hand to hand. as 1t
were. In all directions. But when
by another part Of the foot comes into

which is always covered by a thick.

At the next step the other three pads
come into play, while the first three

In this case. we learn. the strip

CUMMiNS WANTS A DECISION.
He Makes Speech Demanding Supreme
Court Opinion on Tobacco.

He Makes Speech Demanding Supreme
Court Opinion on Tobacco.
Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Cum
Minis of Iowa in a speech yesterday
urged speedy action on his bill provid-
ing for review by the supreme court
of the United States Of the decree of
the United States circuit court for the
southern district of New York approx
ing the reorganization of the Ameri-
can Tobacco company. He said that
the welfare of the people, the stabil-
ity of business and the wants Of con-
gress imperatively require that this
decree shall be reviewed by the SUI
preme court.
Mr. Cummins said that notwith-
standing the supreme courts decision
dissolving the American Tobacco COM
pany had been based on the fact that
the tobacco business had been largely
controlled by one company, the con-
troll of the affairs of the company was
continued largely in three holding
comprehensive American company,
the p. Lorillard company and the Lig-
gett & Myers company, owning $213,-
100000 of the entire $229,000,000 of
the old American company.
'The same men who owned the
American Tobacco company own these
three companies and own them in the
same proportion that they owned the
old company" he said, so that they
will control the business under the
new arrangements as completely as
they controlled it under the old order
If it was unlawful for these men to
concentrate the business so completely
as they did, it is giving the people a
stone instead of bread to permit the
new order to continue"
He declared that the other eleven
companies were owned by the same
people who own the three, 80 thai
the only result achieved will be tC
make the administrations more incon
venient"
Expressing regret that the attorney
general had not appealed from the cir
cult courts decision, Mr.. Cummins ad
mitted that without legislation the su
preme court of the United States wal
incapable of granting an appeal in the
absence OF a motion by the attorne!
general. Hence the necessity for legis
lation.
The circuit court, he said, had dis
regarded and nullified the order OF tn
supreme court, but if no appeal l
practicable the decree OF the lowe
court must stand as the result OF tn
litigation against the tobacco trust
He believed that the country had
right to the higher courts opinion
No action was taken on the bill.
