The Lexotv Inquiry. NEW Yo c , Dec. 29.-Notwithstand- ing the general impression that this Would be the last day of the session -of the Lexotv committee for some clays at any rate , and the fact that several prominent police officials were yet to be examined , the attendance - - ance of auditors to-day was much smaller than usual. Counsel Goff ar- riveti just forty minutes late. Senator - tor Lexow first said that lie had received - ceived a letter from Anthony Comstock - stock , but that the senators did not think it right to have Mr. Colnstoclc . .come to court , , as the matter was outside - ; side the scope of the committee. Dir. Goff then said : "Through the I kindness of the Associated Press - I have been supplied with a copy of an iutercicw with Mr. Comstoclc last night , and I tvi1L now say that I de- dine to say anything or have any cominnnication with Mr. Comstock fiutil he puts into writing all he knows and all he is prepared to say in reference to a certain case in which he stys ; I was prosecutor while holding - ing the position of assistant district attorney. The chair is still open for tiny person who wishes vindication , and as this committee will have to adJourn - Journ very soon I feel sure that there , ' will be a number of claimants for viii- i dicatian after the session has ended. " inspector Williams was then re- calletl to the stand and Mr. Goff asked him if he ever had any United States bOfIS. The witness said that he never had. Several questions as to the witness' property followed and also a few questions about his yacht t "Elenenor. " Then Mr. Goff began asking how i much money Williams got as gratni- ' ties while in command of the Tenderloin - : loin rccinct. ! Not a penny , " was the reply. 'i I "Did von get any money ? " "Yes , but not in the Tenderoin , as 3-on call it. I got money down town from the firm of Fliess S ; by , 47 Ilroadway. " "flow nIucb did you yet ? " 1 'About $3,000 or $0,000. Mr. Fliess said he was dealing in stocks. I gave him no money , but he said lie was i Willing to take the risk. I did not knot- anything about the business. " ' -'Phis Mr. Fliess is connected with the iiollywood Whisky company , in which you were accused of having an iimterat ? " "Yes I believe but he had , so ; no Ii position in the company at that time. i I lie bid me his brother was connected t with the company. " "Did you ever send for an envelope a cont.t r xi valuable property and have it taken from Wardman Dunlap's room when he was dying ? " f fl \osir. Th ? witness then said lie had an ac- coon in the Bowery Savings bank of less than $3,000 ; one of. the Seamen's of less than $1,000 and one in the Dry Dock of less than $ ? ,000. lie did not F have any other accounts , but his wife . might have. He knew that his wife got 43,000 from Peterhead , Scotland. Asked if his wife did not wear a f diamond crosstalcen fromn a notorious ' 1 woman , Williams shouted passionate- ly'I deny it and brand it as an in- , , Iallltlll5 Ile.

" Wi'iiims declared that the presentment - ment lie the grand jury against him for allowing gambling houses near the station house was false. He sworethat he raided all such places as he could find. The'n Mr. Goff : called up a young man and asked the inspector whether he reco rrnized him. . "I may have seen him before , but I can't locate him , " was the reply. ' % \'ell. lie is a respectable young man named Rosenfeld , and he went to rare office to make a complaint , , a : tinst one of your subordinates. idn't ask him if lie had any ' - , ] ) you Inoney to settle the mattei , and say t o him , when he stated that he had none to give up if he had , "Go to hell , b I al n tired ofyon Christ- you Christ and killers.

Goff then read a list of brothel in certain streets of the Ten- . keepers , f , in- derlofn : vhicii were reported by - , , l ' sector Williams as existing in the ' - , Precinct and asked whether lie closed them. Williams said that lie . ; ad closed Otne of them. He was always closiugdisordcrly houses while in the preeinet. 1 how much you.

" "Well , your wardman did ? " "No , he did not. " "You have got rich on the proceeds of police corruption ? " "If I were a rich man I would not be here now answering your ques- tions. " "Did you say to a policeman that you were not such a chump as to invest - vest your money in brown stone houses , where it was bound to come out some time , but that you had your money invested in good American bonds ? ' "The person who says that is a liar , and you arc a Jiar ifyou say so , too. " exclaimed Mr. 'Williams angrily. Mr. Goff objected to this language , and Chairman Lexow tried to cairn the witness. Williams was next questioned as to the dimensions of his yacht , and then as to his wealth. He said lie was worth about $35,000 or $40,000. He had an account in the Amsterdam bank. lie owned no bonds or securities - ties , but had mining stock to the value of $100. His Tenth street house was not included in this estimate. Asked about the charges made by J , Df. Stern , editor of time Temperance Advocate - vocate , that he neglected to close certain - tain gambling houses , Williams said that he had closed one joint on East Fourteenth street Then Mr. Goff turned to Captain Schmittberger's evidence and asked : "Schmittberger was your confidential man ? " "He was not ; I had no confidential man. " Williams denounced Schmittberger s testimony against him as false and said Schmittberger was a liar. After a few more questions were answered Williams was excused , and Moritz Rosenfeld took the stand and told of appealing to Williams for protection - tection against mistreatment by po- licemen. "But Williams says lie does not know you , " interposed Mr. Goff. "lie is a liar , " replied Rosenfeld. "He threatened to throw me out of the station and said , 'You damned sheeny , killed Christ for thirty pieces of silver , and I shall have nothing to do with von. ' POPULISTS IN CONFERENCE. Two Bundred Leaders of the Party 1'lanning for 1590. ST. Louis , Mo. , Dec. 29.-The conference - ference of tine , national committee of the People's party , with its invited friends , began to-day at the Lindell hotel in this city with an attendance of something over 200 , including Mrs. Mary E. Lease and many other noted Kansas Populists. The meeting was called to order by National Chairman Taubeneck and immediately proceeded to discuss the advisability of holding sessions in se- cret. The debate developed something - thing of a tangle , out of which the gathering pulled itself , after nearly two hours' discussion , by resolving itself into an informal convention , with Mr. Taubcneck in the chair , the national committee proper being de- dared adjourned until 2 p. m. Secretary - tary Turner of the national. committee - tee was made secretary of the confer- ence. Chairman Taubeneck then stated the purpose of the conference , and , upon motion of General Weaver , the chair was directed , after some aimless debate , to appoint a committee of five upon credentials and another ten members upon address , the latter to prepare a summary of the advice of the conference. The conference will consider finan- land , transportation and other questions - tions of the day and will arrange teat at once begin the national campaign of 1896. Coxcy of "Commonweal" fame and his non-interest bearing bond scheme were much in evidence : General J. B. Weaver of Iowa was also conspicuous. He proposes to present resolutions for the free coinage of gold and silver and the issuance of paper money by the national government - ment alone. He believes that the next national platform of the party should be devoted to that issue alone. Those present in the conference represent every section of the country - try , from Tampa bay to Puget sound' , and from Boston to Galveston. Among the number were General J. 13. Weaver of Iowa , Henry R. Legate , Boston ; 11' . M. Howard , Fort Payne , Ala. , the Populist congressman from that district ; S. II. Snider , Topeka , Ilan. ; S. W. Burnett , Big Springs , Texas ; E. Geary Brown , Brockton , Mass , ; A. Rozelle , Tarlcio , Mo. , cnair- man of the state committee ; Solon C. Thacer , Canton , Ohio ; W. B. Wright- mire of Topeka , Ran. ; Ignatius Don- nelly of Minneapolis ; W. S. Reece of Alabama , who is contesting Mor- gans seat in the senate ; H. E. Taube- neck , chairman of the national executive - tive committee , Marshall , ill. , and Senator Stewart of Nevada. MOIE RE "ALIATI0Y. Austro ifungary Likely to Follow the Example of Germany. WAsIIINGTON , The. 29.-The state department is not yet at an end of its troubles growing out of the repeal of the reciprocity agreements made under the terms of the McKinley act , and more retaliation is looked for. Spain has already imposed upon its the maximum discriminating tariff , and Germany has prohibited our beef and other great staples entry into the empire. France is by no means disposed - posed to accept the tsituation her sugar trade is placed in by the sugar duty , and how there arc strong intimations that the new Austrian minister , who has not yet even presented - sented his credentials to the president - dent , is charged to begin an attack upon this same sugar duty almost fni mediately , and , if coi cessions cannot be secured , it is expected that Austro- Ilungary probably will follow the example - ample of Germany in retaliating upon the United States. CHIEF TWO STICKS HANGED. 'rue Sioux Indhtn Murderer of Four Cowboys Dies on the Scatfoicl. . DEADWOOD , S. D. , Dec. 29.-Two Sticks , the Sioux Indian , sentenced for a leading part in the murder of four cowboys February 2 , 1893 , was hanged at 10 o'clock this morning by United States Marshall Peemimer , in the presence of fifty people. He died easily and quickly. .i ( . , - 1-- , TO HELP ALONG IRRIGATION , Text of Senator Manderson's Bill to Give Government Land to the State.

HOW A BISHOP CHOPPED DOWN A FOREST. - ,1 Grand Wood-Cutt1u Expedition-The I humming Bird-A Little Brown Stranger - ger anti Its Travels-Ono of Slier- Ian's IIdes. How a Bishop Cut Wood. 1ave you ever heard of the great Waiketin who built the cathedral at Winchester , and how lie got the timber - ber which is still in the roof of the cathedral ? It is rather an odd story and I will tell it to you as it was told to me by the verger when I was at Winchester-and told , indeed , while the walked in the loft among the very beams and rafters in question. William the Conqueror was a king who loved his trees , and would hardly - ly part with any of his timber. When the bishop was building the cathedral lie came to the king and asked leave to cut wood from the forest of Hemp- ' sane , to finish the noble work he had carried on for many years. "Wood from my forest of Hemp. age ! Nay , that you cannot have , " said Icing William. I "But , sire , how can I make a roof for ' my cathedral without timber ? Will your majesty grudge the trees of the forest to the house of God ? ' said the bishop fearlessly. The king did not want to yield , but bishops in those day , were formidable - able enemies , before whom many a icing had trembled. ' 'lte bishop urged his claims , and in ay have even used threats , until at length Icing 'William said : "Go , the n , my lord bishop , and take as many trees as yott can fell in a day-but no more. " The bishop went gladly , and coming to his domain , which was like a little kingdom , over which lie had absolute power , he mustered his liegemen and retainers for a grand wood-cutting j expedition. At'-the bishop's palace hundreds of men were daily fed , and he could bring thousands in the field in time of tear , for every one in his see was subject to him- "ill mint ] , body and estate. " IIe must have summoned all his subjects that day , for never was such a wood-cutting known in England. To the forest they went in an army and chopped from the rising of the sun till night descended , and at time end of the day not a tree was left standing in the wood. Not a tree ? Yes , one'tvas kept sacred from time marauding ax b eause under its boughs St. Augustine had preached to the Britons in days long gone by even then. The Gospel Oak , as it was called , still stands , protected by an iron railing , the sole relic of the ancient - cient forest which time bishop of Winchester - chester laid low "for time house of God , " 'r'rtily the bishop was a "mus- cular Christian. " For all I know lie laid aside his robes and miter and wielded the ax that day himself. lie was a firm liever in exercise , as another - other tale will prove. Time cathedral is not the only monument to this great man. 'Pith his enormnous revenues he founded and built a college at Oxford , called the "New College. " It was built before America was discovered. IIe also endowed the famous boys' school at Winchester , and made many rules whereby the safety and health of time scholars were to be secured. One of these was that the boys should walk to the top of a high hill , some distance - tance from the school , three times every ( 'ay. There is a worthy pastry cook living near the foot of this hill , wino until recently , when the rule was abolished , used to go up the steep path with trays of lies wares , andno doubt found a good market among the tired little fellows. how they put time walk in three times I cannot imagine-think of it , girls and boys , sometimes when you are disposed - posed to grumble at errands around the block.-Chicago in tet' Ocean. A heu words on lfannor. ; . Manner is a little hard to define. It is somnethingto be felt , the expression of a person's life and thought ; One girl has a bright and vivacious manner - ner , and another is calm and dignified. One reminds you of the stars , another of fireworks. Grandmamma's manner - ner is gentle and tranquil , Cousin Rob's is impulsive and hurried ; little Miss Finch has a manner both fussy and fidgety , and Laura Belle has the manner of a queen. Time rude and brusque young person makes her companions uncomfortable. The tvcll- bred person makes those about her happy. No well-bred person has bad manners , though such a person may have a shy or awkward reserved maim- net Tile latter may be one's misfortune - fortune , time former is one' : fault. I am glad that the girl's are returning to the beautiful courtesy- bending the knee and the body as well as the ) mead ; it is a much prettier and more grace ful reverence than a mere bow. Nothing about manner in a young girl is so bewitching as defer. ence , the paying attention to older people , and showing kindness to young ones , and setting everybody at ease. If you are in doubt how to behave on any occasion , look at the peo7ie about you , and see what most of them do. The majority are generally right There are one or two rules always to be observed. You speak to your hostess when you go to a recep tion o' a patty , and you wish her good-night when you leave. At the table von wait until the la lr of the I house is seated before you .neat your- self. You thank everyone who does you a service. You are careful not to interrupt conversation ; you tic not sit older people right , even if you know , that they are mistaken ; you do not try to get time best plade yourself , you endeavor to give that to your friend. In the street you do not attract observation - vation by loud tallying or laughter. If you are in a public conveyance , as a car or a ferry-boat , for instance , yet' yield your seat to the elderly lady or the old gentleman , or the tired math- er with a child in her arms.-Harper's Young People. Sheridan's Ride. There is a tendency on the part of young people , especially if they be of a romantic temperament , to paint a mental picture of their military heroes in much the same colors as those in which Scott painted the participants - ticipants in the tournament in "Ivan- hoe"-as tremendously stalwart , graceful , dashing and ornamental men. As a matter of fact , generals are much 111cc other men , and if they happen to be elderlyare subjeetto the ordinary infirmities of elderly men. At a dinner party in an Eastern city not long ago time host , who was a close personal friend of General Philip 11. Sheridan , told an amusing story , which General Sheridan had himself related to him. The general was visiting a , friend on the Massachusetts coast. Ills host had some young daughters who had never seen Sheridan , and whose idea of Julia was gained chiefly from the poem of "Slmeridau's Ride. " 't'hey pictured to themselves the dashing cavalry general , who was of course an accomplished horseman ; and they took pains to provide for his riding , while lie was 'their father's guest , a pam'ticularly mettlesome young horse. They were all curiosity to meet the hero. 11'icn there arrived from the train an elderly , gray-haired , red-faced , very short and decidedly thick-waisted old gentleman , their disappointment amounted almost to a shock. however - ever the girls insisted that the geu- eral should ride the horse ; and. he , being a gallant man , did not decline. When he was mounted on the dashing steed , they were in mortal terror lest he should be thrown off. lie stood time test , however , in some fashion. Time next d .y the friend who relates time story met him , and found him limping painfully. " 11'hat's the matter , general ? " Ime asked. "Oh , " said Sheridan , "I was over at-syesterday , and those girls of his asked me to ride with them. There teas no getting out of it. , but as I hadn't been on horseback for more than a year , I'm sore all over ? " It may have needed more actual heroism on the generals part to accept - cept the challenge of these equestrian - trian young ladies than to ride into the thick of the fight at Winchester. -Youth's Companion. A 1 raveler. Far away in Holland a man was digging in the rich , black soil. The fields were broad and flat ; on one side of them was a canal , and on time other a great bank of earth to keep out the sea. sea.The The man dug up something brown and hard and round. It was not a lump of earth ; it was not a stone ; it looked a little like an onion. lie cleaned it carefully : rind tvrapned it in paper. On the paper was printed its name , but tlmis was a ] lard Dutch word which you and I could not pronounce. Then time little brown stranger began - gan its travels. It was carried on board a large ship : but through its paper coat it could not see the neat little villages along the way , with their steep gables and tall wind mills , nor the queerly dressed boatmen at the piers , nor a great many other strange things. All the way across the ocean time little brown traveler was tossed and thumped about inside a great mail bag , but at last it landed safely. It was taken to a store where seeds and bulbs were sold ; here somebody bought it and carried it ] lone , amid put it in a tall blue glass full of water. Then it was left in a dark cellar for several weeks. Last of all it ended its travels on the window sill of grandmas cozy room , where it could look in at the children playing on the floor , or out at the snowflakes dancing in the air. "See , grandma' " cried time children , "it has a green cap. " "See , grandma , " they said the next day , "time green cap has turned into two green leaves. So every day grandma was called to admire the little straneer. "Oh , sec ! " they cried one day , "it has opened its flowers' ! How blue they are and how sweet' !
