Former Democratic Chairman Can't
Remember Who Contributed Funds
70 Parker Campaign in 1so4-Doss
Not Recall Amount Of Personal Don.
ation-Evidsnoe Before Senate Com
mittss.

Washington, July 9.-"When we got
thru it was not worth while" replied
Thomas Taggart, chairman Of the
democratic national committee in
1904. when asked today by the senate
campaign expenditures committee If
he ever figured UP the receipts and ex-
penditures of his committee during the
Parker campaign.
THE court will take judicial notice
of that" reported Chairman Clapp.
Mr.. Taggart swore that when the
treasurer's books came into his pos
session just before the Denver con-
vention in 1908 he burned them and
"other dead matter" before turning
over the organization records to Nor
man f. Mack, tile new chairman, in
1908.
Mr.. Taggart was unable to remem-
ber much about contributions. From
hearsay he expressed the belief that
August Belmont, Thomas f. Ryan and
Cord Meyer, all of New York. had con-
tributed.
These probably were three among
thousands, but just do rot remember
the others" said Mr.. Taggart.
II suppose you were contributor,
suggested Senator Oliver.
II expect 1 was. Whatever 1t was 1
contributed to the Indiana state COM
mittee.'
How much did you contribute
II can not recall definitely"
"Well. approxim ately.'
'.I suppose would be SAFE in saying
$1,000"
The witness estimated the committee
had twenty or thirty men soliciting
funds thruout the state. He insisted
that George Peabody. the treasurer.
had charge OF the finances. or was at
least in the position to know all about
them. Immediately after the campaign
Mr.. Taggart said Mr.. Peabody resigned
and August Belmont succeeded him.
'I do not know whether Mr.. Pea-
body wes disgusted or not" added Mr..
Taggart.

BY GENERALS DAUGHTER

After much patient and diligent re-
search, Miss Anna Payne Pillow, q
daughter of Confederate Brig. Gen
Gideon ]. Pillow, one Of the heroic
characters of the history of the South,
has produced what she claims to be
the only authentic history of the great
seal of the Confederate States OF
America. Miss Pillow has published in
connection with the history a perfect
reproduction of the great seal, which
shows a far more beautiful design than
previous representations, declared by
Miss Pillow to be incorrect
The central devise of the great seal
is of cavalier, the model having been
taken from the equestrian statue of
Washington, in Capital Square, Rich
mond, Va The central figure is bor-
dered with plants of. the South, bound
with a rosette of Confederate colors.
The lithograph is one of remarkable
beauty, not only in its original design.

The expectation that the convention,

were received from others on the way.

programme of social affairs has been
arranged to supplement their schedule

Southern people, invitations having been
extended to not only the United Confed-
crate Veterans and the United Sons of
Confederate Veterans and other South
ern societies but to the Daughters of
the American Revolution, the Colonial

Perched on n Vernnda In India.

hundreds oil "eII-behaTed " Monkeys
Perched on n Veranda In India.
From Youths oomranion-
I was married in India. and rented a
little house fourteen miles or so from
any other habitation of white men. The
morning my wife and arrived the serv-
ants laid breakfast on the veranda over
looking the river. At the clatter of the
plates there began to come down from
the big tree that overshadowed the
house, and up the tree that grew in the
ravine behind II, from the house roof
itself. from everywhere's multitude Of
solemn monkeys.
They came up singly and in couples
and In families. and took their places
without noise or fuss on the veranda.
and sat there, like an audience waiting
for an entertainment to begin. And
when the breakfast was all laid and the
monkeys were all seated, 1 went in TO
call my wife
breakfast is ready. and they are all
waiting" 1 said.
who are waiting?' she asked, in dis
may. Il thought We were going to be
alone. and 1 was just coming out in my
dressing gown"
Never mind" I said. ''The people
about here are not fashionably dressed.
They wear pretty mucn the same lhlnSs
all the year round"
And so my wife came out. Imagine
her establishment. In the middle of the
veranda stood our breakfast table; and
all the rest of the space. as well as the
railings and the steps, was covered with
an immense company of monkeys, as
grave as possible, and as motionless and
silent as II they were stuffed. Only their
eyes kept blinking and their little round
ears kept twitching. Ny wife laughed
heartiIy-at which the monkeys only
looked all the graver-and sat down.
viii they eat anything?" she asked.
Try them 1 said.
So she picked up a biscuit and threw
1t among the company. Three hundred
monkeys jumped into the air like one.
and for an instant there was a riot that
defies description. The next moment
every monkey was sitting in its place
as solemn as II it had never moved.
Only their eyes winked and their ears
twitched.
Ny wife threw them another biscuit. !
and the riot broke out again. Then she |
threw them another and another and !
another. But at last we had given away |
all that we had to give, and got up to |
go. The monkeys at once rose. and ad- /
gravely TO the steps, walked |
down them in a solemn Procession, and |
dispersed for the days occupations.

Turkey Trot, Bad Literature, and
ExtravaRance Are Some.

The extravaganza of the housewife is
one Of the enemies of the home, ac-
cording to Rev. John z. Briggs. who
spoke last night at the Fifth Baptist

the minister.
The turkey trot, bear dance, bad liter
