Albany, N. Y, Oct. 6.-Gov. VIII
liam Sulzer emphatically stated that
he intends to go on the stand in the
impeachment proceedings and affirm
the statement of Louis A. Sarecky,
his financial manager, that had he
been crook, he could easily have
made $5O0,0OO, and that only his re-
fusal to bow to Tammany Boss Muir

Sulzer's lawyers have decided to
attack some of the prosecutions wit

Sulzer himself. They think, however,
that the prosecutions case is so weak
it would be foolish to try to upset its

EARLY ENGLISH HOMES.
MostIy Wooden Huts with Fire III

English common people for centuries
made their homes in wooden huts OF
one room When a family increased in
number or wealth another hut was
built To it. or rather n leanto was added
and another and another as needs re-
auired. Sometimes they followed a
straight line, other times they were
built out from the central hut at
various angles. The roofs of these hu,s
were matched In the centre was left
an opening for the fumes and smoke of
the fire to escape. The fire was always
built in hollow in the ccntre of the
room.
Beds were straw. often n shakedown
in corner Occasionally the straw
was held in n frame like the ribs Of a
ship.
Houses built ny Saxon knights were
much more pretentious. They Were
big halls. like the Roman atrium. with
lofty roof matched with slate ar wood
shingles. The floor was hard clay. In
the middle was great fire Of dry wood.
The thin. acrid smoke from the fire es-
capped through an opening in the roof
directly above the h.arth.
Around the fire were long benches on
which hearthsmen and visitors sat when
| not fighting or AT work and talked and
drank the hours through The tables
were long boards on trestles. At night.

was strewn with straw and host ard
