Indicuto that somo progress Is being
niudo toward rendering the Indian
elf -sustaining.
Crime Iloin Xnt Piiy.
A man who served a long term in
tho Iowa penitentiary writes to his
homo paper that ho is convinced
crime does not pay, since lie has lost
$10,800 ho might have niado by work
ing at his trade, while tho property
he stole brought him only $07.
A "Tin" -to Uimlo Ham.
The dairy products of tho United
Btatcs are of sulllclent value to pay
off tho national dobt In a little over
two years. Tho cow and tho hen have
performed wonders in tho west in lift
ing farm mortgages and If Uncle
Sam over gets into a tight place lie
night call on thorn.
. v
FnlfllliMl on Time.
Wendell Phillips said in an address
to school children in Boston in 1805;
"I expect, If I livo 40 years, to sco
a telegraph that will send messages
without n wire both ways at tho samo
tlmo." The famous orator did not
livsj out tho term, but his prediction
was fulfilled on time.
Civilisation linn It Dmitri.
Richard Iloclc, an old frontiersman
who had killed wild buffalo by the
thousands in his day and gone
through many Indian campaigns, was
finally hilled tho other day by a do
mesticated bulTalo. Civilization has
Its dangers as well as tho strenuous
llfo of old on tho frontier.
It In IlllTVrent Now.
A Connecticut school ma'am boasts
of having spanked 10 pupils in 37 min
utes. This affords strong confirma
tion of tho assertion that tho Yankee-
Bpirit is dying out among tho
rising generation of Now England.
In tho good old days an effort of that
kind would land the teacher in a
hospital.
HtfUMllvotlniiM of (lu "Simon."
Tho supremo court of Iowa has sol
emnly decided (hat a young woman
cannot legally hold her lover to his
plighted tro(h under pain of damages
when she has deceived him by wearing
false hnir. This looks as though some
past feminine deceit were still rank
ling tho heart of the aforesaid su
preme court.
Nvr York'M Latent C.rent Hotel.
Work upon tho llo(ol Astor in Now
York, which will occupy an entiro
block and which will represent an
outlay of $5,000,000, has begun. When
completed the. hotel will (ako rank
uh ono of the most Imposing struct
ures of tho city. The building will bo
ten stories above tho sidewalk and
two below, llraud new devices will
flguro in almost every department of
tho great hotel.
Comfort for Tiiwii-Duollt'rM.
Thero is some comfort for town
dwellers, at least in a government
statistician's declaration that the
danger from lightning is less in the
cities than in tho country. The net
work of wires telephone, telegraph
and electric light and the quantldes
of metal In roofs, steel frames, e(e.,
aro calculated to relievo tho eleetrlo
tension in limes of severe storms.
Damaging lightning strokes aro com
paratively rare in tho dense contort
of population because of this fact.
BRLBEIIY IS ALLEGED
Sensation in the House Over a
Statement by Mr. Richardson.
Minority Lender Introduced nn Afllilitvlt
from Dniiinnrk's Aent Hliowliiic SfiOO,-
1)00 Wns Umitl to Hennrn Tritnsfor
of Dmilsli Went Initios.
Washington, March 28. A genuine
sensation was caused in the house
yesterday by the presentation by Mr.
Itlchardsou, of Tennessee, tho demo
cratic lender, of charges alleging tho'
corrupt use of a fund of $500,000 in
connection with tho salo of the
Danish West Indies. Tho charges
were contained in nn alleged secret
report of Cnptf Walter Christmas to
tho Danish government, which de
clared that ho had employed cor
rupt means to bring tho negotiations
for tho sale of tho islands to a con
summation. The report, extracts
from which Mr. Klchardson read,
mentioned tho names of Abncr Mc
Kinley and his partner, Col. Drown,
C. W. Knox, who was described as
"an Intimate friend of Senator
Hanna," Diehard P. Evans, who was
said to represent "Mr. Gardner and
his friends in tho honce," and two
press associations, tho names of
which were not given, as having been
interested in tho matter. Tho
charges against members of congress
wore not specific. Upon tho basis of
tliin report, Mr. DIcliardsou asked tho
adoption of a resolution for tho ap
pointment of an investigating com
mltteo of seven. Tho speaker ruled
that the matter was privileged after
Mr. Dlehardson had amended Ids
resolution so as to specifically In
clude members of the house. Great
excitement attended tho whole pro
ceeding. Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, in
sisted that Mr. Richardson's pre
sentation was fragmentary and that
the whole matter should go over in
order that members might read tho
documents presented, which included
newspaper extracts, ufihhnits, etc.,
in tho record. Christmas, ho de
clared, on his own statement, was a
briber and worse. Dut tho house
voted down the motion to postpone
and the resolution, after being
nmended in minor particulars, was
adopted. The speaker Immediately
appointed (he following committee
to make tho investigation: Messrs.
Dalzcll, republican, of Pennsylvania;
Hitt, republican, of Illinois; Cousins,
republican, of Iowa; McCall, repub
lican, of Massachusetts; Dichardson,
democrat, of Tennessee; Dlnsmore,
democrat, of Arkansas, and Cowherd,
democrat, of Missouri.

FALSE, SAYS BROWN.
Abner McKinley's Law Partner De
nounces Danish Agent.
Secretary Hay Will Pay No Attention to the
Sensational Charge, Alleging They Are
o Unreliable us to lie Unworthy
of Notice.
Now York, March 29. Wilbur C.
Drown, partner of Abner McKinley,
whoso name was mentioned in con
nection with tho Christmas charges
mado public in congress, has sent the
following letter to Beprcsentnttve
Dalzcll, chairman of tho investigat
ing committee: "The papers contain
extracts read In congress from in
sidious charges by ono Walter Christ
mas In connection with tho purchase
of tho Danish West Indies. So far
as theso charges relate to Abner Mc
Kinley and myself, they aro unquali
fiedly and maliciously fnlso in every
particular. I shall bo glad to appear
before your committee at any timo
you may desire."
liny Don't llelleve Them.
Washington, March 29. The state
department will tako steps to bring
to the attention of tho Danish gov
ernment the charges against tho in
tegrity of American statesmen pre
ferred by Capt. Christmas nnd
brought to the attention of tho house
of representatives. Tho department
regards the chnrges as unworthy its
attention by reason of insufficient
evidence nnd obvious error in state
ments of alleged facts. Tho depart
ment is perfectly awaro also that
the Danish government does not in
tend to pay one cent of the $500,000
clnimcd by Christmas as ills commis
sion, so that of course none of that
money could bo used to corrupt
Ainoricnn statesmen and newspapers.
A dispatch from Now York says:
Carl Flsehcr-Ilansen, who was attor
ney for Walter Christinas, the repre
sentative -of tho Danish government
in tho overtures for tho purchase of
tho Danish West Indian islands in
1900, wns indignant at the conduct of
ills client shown in his secret report
to the Danish ministry, lately pub
lished. "Ordinarily, legal etiquette,"
said he, "would prevent my speak
ing. But this report is so defamntory
and outrageous that I feel justified in
washing my hands of the. whole af
fair. Tills report was evidently mado
with the belief that it could never
see the light. Dut its publication hns
shown its absurdity. I am quite sure
Christmas never saw the men ho men
tions, and I bellove the report was
made for the purposo of personal
gain."
