NOT A JOKER" SAYS WEBB.
North Carolina House Member De.
tends Ban on Horse Shows.

Representative Webb Of North Carolina
took exception on the floor Of the House
yesterday to printed statements that a
Joker had been slipped into the military
appropriation bill by him, and objected
to the statement made by an anonymous
but prominent" army officer who com
planned Of Representative webb's amend
ment affecting officers horses and their
exhibition at horse shows.
1T Is not true" said Mn Webb, that
the amendment was slipped in, and it is
not true It Is q joker. The amendment
was adopted on the floor Of he House. as
the record clearly shows.
For several years the government has
been paying large sums for transporting
privately owned horses Of officers to at
tend horse shows In the United States, and
even to Stockholm. Sweden These horses
are shipped in palace cars. the mileage
Of the officers is paid at cents mi e,
their regular salaries go on. their stallage
for horses is paid in full. There are four
or five shows a year from Denver to New
YORK; which officers and horses thus at
tend. I contend there Is no warrant OF
law for such expenditures, nor are such
displays of Official and equestrian vanity
useful to army service. estimate we
have spent annually from $4,000 to 81, 900
for such shows" :.

FIGHTS $4,000 SUIT
Kinney, Millionaire, Files Demurrer
to Mrs. McNabb's Heart
Balm Action.

J; John 8. Kinney. millionaire mine owner
'of, Michigan. has filed a demurrer to the
suit to recover $780, 900 damages as heart
balm. recently brought against him by
Mrs. Ida NJ. McNabb Of Milwaukee. Wis.
q widow who claims he broke a contract
to marry her and to care for her three
daughters until their marriage. Through
Miss Harriet Freebey. a member Of the
bar. the defendant also asked the court
to require the widow to give security
that she will pay the costs Of the pro-
ceeding in the event she loses her case.
In the demurrer Attorney Freebey says
the declaration is bad in substance. The
points Of law made are that the declara-
ton sets forth in one count two entirely
different causes Of action, one an alleged
oral contract and the other an alleged
covenant under seal. Also that the
declaration sets forth in one count two
or more different causes Of action, to
which no one plea can be entered.

KEPT THEM UNDER HIS EYE
Idea Of Garden Party for Fanatics
Proved Salvation Of British Gov
ernor in India.

Lord Suff1eld went with the then
prince of Walter to India in 1875. At
one place the governor felt nervous be-
cause among his people there were
number of political and religious
fanatics, who might be expected to
make trouble when the prince passed
through. He was strongly tempted to
lock them all up, but this would have
been somewhat high-handed action,
and the governor hesitated to enforce
it.
He mentioned his difficulty to one of
his daughters.
But why not give a garden party,
papa?" she replied at once. Invite
them all and keep them entertained
until the prince has passed through.
