SENATOR BRANDEGEE, KNOWS
 OF NO LOBBYING. His Answer to Inquiries at Investiga- ton at Washington.

The first senators to testify at Wash ington on Monday at the senate's s investigation of the charge that a lobby is working against the tariff bill declared they knew of no improper in fiuences being exerted; no use of mon ey, and had not themselves attempted improperly to influence any other senators. All admitted having talk ed with manufacturers interested in the tariff having heard arguments and protests, but all considered such proceedings strictly legitimate, and none considered the men with whom they talked lobbyists"
 Senator Brandegee declared he had no interest in any concern manufac- turing or handling anything affected by the tariff; no professional connec- tion' with others affected in the legiS lation, and that he had not attempted to influence other senators in behalf of any certain interests.
 Of those who had called on him MT. Brandegee recalled Henry Hall, of Willimantic, Conn, a thread man. ufacturer; w w. Skiddy of Stamford, Conn, and Messrs. Cheney, silk man. ufacturers, of South Manchester, Conn. These and others he said had argued that reduced duties would ruin their business.
 The senator knew of no improper use of money or influence and knew of no lobbyist and of no expenditures of money to maintain a lobby.

He took for his text They did all drink of the same spir- itual drink-of the rock of Christ, and said: The rocks in scripture sometimes stand for defense. Often God, like a rock has stood between His loved ones and threatened danger.

It is an ever present supply, the one thing that can satisfy, and is al
 ways near. A very present help is He.
 The sweet voices of the girls choir of the church delighted the listeners as they sang these carols: Singing in the Springtine, Dawn in the East is Cleaning, Roses Beautiful and Fair, We Join Our Glad, Exultant Voices, and Happy Dayes Are With Us Once Again The tenor solo by Charles Frazier.
