WASHINGTON, July 19.-Members
Of Congress will draw no more costly
embossed stationery at the expense of
the Government. Hereafter they will
get along with plain, every day print

The Joint Committee on Printing
discovered that the Government Print

10000 embossed pieces OF stationery
at an extra cost of $4,000. An order
has been issued to the Government
Printer to stop this extravaganza.

Mrs. Crawford, released from the
Tower on pail of $3.50, has remained
in the seclusion of her home on West
Peachtree street all week, steadfastly
quiet and refusing all statements in
the face of the accusations against
her. She has said nothing regarding
the case. except a simple denial of
the charges.
Reporters seeing her were treated
courteously and quietly, and Mrs
Crawford seemed not averse to talk
to them freely, But in most of the
talk the subject OF the murder charge
and the plot charge in which Lump's
name appears was carefully skirted.
Mrs. Crawford is a large woman,

she spent in Jail, bringing her flowers,
a savory meal, and other tokens Of
their love.
Mrs. Crawford's children are bitter
in their speech against the nephews
and neices of Joshua B. era wford,
who, they say, are prosecuting their
mother with extreme cruelty. Mrs.
Crawford herself accused her enc

winter hotel in St Augustine, wither
Crawford went in search of health.

that she married him. At his death,
there was a settlement OF his estate,
Mrs. Crawford taking hold of the
affairs with a capable hand.
An agreement was signed. and the
affairs of Joshua b. Crawford, de-
ceased, seemed amiCably settled. Then
the litigation was sprung In the
first bill of complaint the heirs who
contested the will charged Mrs. Craw-
ford with poisoning her husband, and
of exerting undue influence to pro-
cure a will in her favor. But it was
not until three years later, two weeks
ago, that an examination of the re-
mains of Joshua b. era wford to as
certain traces of poison was ordered.
Upon the examination came the YER

poison were vident, and Mrs Craw~
