fcJnv "I can't answer reiterated Mahoney. "Why?" thunderec' the lawyer. Because I can't because 1 don't know I can't," were the answers that came from the witness. At lngt1! he was driven Into admitting' he had beeri Interfered with by a city official In the conduct of his poclroom business here. But. he added quickly, that was many years ago. How many he could not remember. The place was "shut up," but beyond that Mahoney had forgotten everything. "When did you give up the poolroom business. If you ever gave it up?" thundered Mr. Moss. "I decline to answer," said Mahoney. Mr. Moss went Into the details connected with what he alleged were poolrooms run by Mahoney, but the witness remembered nothing. He refused to deny the accusation. At length Mahoney stated the "interference of the police" occurred at a poolroom he ran at 13 Center street and he discontlnued business there twelve or fourteen years ago. At that time, Mahoney said, he had no interest in other poolroom. He declined to answer whether he was interested In poolrooms at the time he was associated In business with Mr. Van Wyck. CLAIMS TO BE HOGGISH. "Do you divide the profits of any poolrooms with any city officials?" asked Mr. Moss. "I divide nothing with any city official or with any member of Tammany Hall," said Mahoney. "No member of the police force Is interested with me in any way, shape or form In anything." He had no knowledge that any member of the police force had any interest in the poolroom business in this city. Mahoney was temporarily withdrawn and served with a subpoena for to-morrow. Police Commissioner Jacob Hess was sworn. He said he was appointed as a Republican in the bipartisan board. His first official act was to vote for the retirement of Chief of Police McCuIlagh. "Upon what barfs did you vote for the retirement of Mr. McCuJlagh? asked Mr. ilos. . "Well." said Mr. Hess, "I was appointed by the mayor, and I saw what happened to Mr. Hamilton and Olr. Philipps. and I knew I did not want to share in the same fate." Hamilton and Philipps were removed by Mayor Van Wyck. "You knew "what would happen to you if you did not vote to retire McCulIagh is that eot" queried Mr. Moss. "Yes, and other reasons and another reason. I believed there ought to be union between the chief and the commissioners." Mr. Hesa admitted that he had "an Impression as to what the mayor wanted done in McCullagh'a case. The police commlseioner said that outside of his $5;000 yearly palary as commissioner he had not an independent living. He was in the cigar business. "And In order to get that $T,000 to live on, you consented to go into that arrangement as a Republican of the bipartisan toard to carry out the wishes of the mayor, la that It?" sneered Mr. Moss. "Yes." said Commissioner Hess. "Even though It led to the removal of a chief of police against whom there was no charge and no suspicion of corruption or Inefficiency?" "Yes," said the witness. Mayor Van "Wyck. Mr. Hess said, was the only person who spoke to him about becoming a police commissioner. He said he 'wished he had not taken It. "Do you regret what you did in performing your first official act In removing a good official servant?" asked Mr. Moss. "No." "You think you did a good public act, then?" "I think so." "Upon what grounds?" "My own views." "Which were that you wanted to get that $c,ooor "I did." Mr. Moss then switched over to the horses purchased by the police board. He said all the horses since May 24. 1SW, to April 22, had been purchased from M. McDonald. Mr. Hess did not know who "M. McDonald" was. The chief bought the horse. It transpired that the chief never bought more than three horses at a time. That, Mr. Hess said, was to keep the amount within $1,000. When asked why. Mr. Hess eald: "Because we can't spend $l,ttX without buying the horses by public letting." ."And In order to prevent public bidding you ordered the chief to buy three horsesat a time?" asked Mr. Moss. "At the request of the superintendent of horses." said Mr. Hess, "they had ordered the chief to buy three horses every week or so." The commission then adjourned until tomorrow morning: at 10:30.

NATURAL GflS METERS

IUSirVII,L.n COUNCIL "PREVAILED" OX TO ADOPT THE SYSTEM. Indiana Union of Literary Clnbs In Session nt Terre Haute Evidence Asa In a Dr. Gray Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RUSHVILLE, Ind., May 17. The City Council last n'.ght adopted an ordinance legalizing the use of meters by two of the three natural gas companies now operating here. The rate fixed is 13 cents a thousand cubic feet. One gas company, the Central Fuel Company, has been operating under the meter system for two years. Some members of the Council thought 15 cents a thousand too high, as at a recent test at the city water plant natural gas at 10 cents e. thousand and 331-3 per cent, off proved more expensive than coal. This test has done much toward enlightening the City Council as to the relative heat generating power of coal and natural gas with reference to the quantity consumed. The City Council permitted the J5-cent ordinance to pass, with the understanding that the rate will be cut to 10 cents if they find 15 cents too high. Schedule gas rates are high In Rushvllle. A cook stove under the schedule costs $21 a year, and heaters X) to $35 a year. A city ordinance is on record fixing the schedule for cook stoves at $1.23 per month and other fire in proportion, but this Is avoided by the consumer signing a contract to take gas at the company's figures.

W. Phalen, of Chicago, chairman of the railroad committee, was laid before the con vention. It discussed at length the move to secure a reduction In rates for excess baggage. The report held out little or no hope of a change In the rates. An inter changeable ticket for excess baggage might, however, be secured in the near future.

The tost at Knoxvllle had In twelve years dis tributed $6,000 in charitable fields. Rev. Wilson said that from further inquiries he found that the majority of the T. P. A. devoted as much as $10 a year at least to charity, making a grand total of at least $140,000 a year from the 14,000 members of the organization.

After dwelling on the dangers of a,n imperialist policy, Mr. Atkinson said: "There is one way, and perhaps the only one, by which not only can all that may be rightfully or lawfully done by the United States be attained, but a precedent may also be established leading to peace and good will among all nations. That way is by agreement among the great naval and commercial powers of the world to neutralize the Philippine Island?, to aid them In estab lishing an orderly government, and open them on equal terms granted to all nations to tne commerce cf the world. "What stands In the way of making the Philippine islands and the seas within their jurisdiction neutral? For the first time since their partial occupation by Spain, under a grant of dominion from the Pope, they are now free from Spanish oppression. To subJugate them would, according to our code of morality, be an act of criminal aggression. We ought not to assume this responsibility, nor ought we to give any pretext to any other nation to assume it. It is for the interest of this country, of Great Brit ain, of Russia. Germany, France and Japan that these Islands shall become the sanctu ary of free commerce, open to all alik-3. Fight Between Jockeys. CINCINNATI. O., May 17.

CORXERSTOXE OF THE VICTORIA A'D ALBERT MISELM. American Flags Conspicuous in the Decorations About the Platform . Incidents of the Exercises. LONDON", May 17. Queen Victoria laid the foundation stone of the Victoria ard Albert Museum to-day. She drove through the streets lined with tioops from Buckingham Palace, the royal carriage being escorted by a detachment of the Life Guards. Her Majesty was accompanied by several princes and princesses, and other royal per- v sonages met her at the museum, where a raised place was reserved for them. Am bassadors, members of the Cabinet and the leading members of Parliament occupied a place at the site of the museum. The Queen's passage from the palace to the museum was witnessed by. an enormous number of people. The houses along the route were decorated and there were strings of flags across the roads. The sun shone brilliantly. A gayly dressed assemblage witnessed the ceremony, which the Queen performed without leaving her carriage and amid much enthusiasm. The ceremonies resembled a miniature Jubilee. American Hags were conspicuous among tho decorations. Inside the museum the scene recalled the spectacle at St. Paul's Cathedral upon the occasion of the Jubilee. The Marquis of Salisbury, Lord Rosebery, all the Cabinet ministers and the diplomatic corps were present, nearly all of them wearing brilliant uniforms. The arrival of the ministers in splendid equipages, with footmen, was very picturesque. The United States ambassador, Joseph H. Choate. and Mrs. Choate. drove ud in a plain carriage. Mr. Choate wearing a dress suit, in remarkable contrast to the uniforms of the other diplomats. Mr. and Mrs. Choate were given a prominent place on the plat form and while awaiting the arrival of tho yueen the premier, the first lord of the admiralty, George J. Goschen. and others chatted with them. Her Majesty looked remarkably well. She was dressed in black except for a white pjume in ner bonnet. She took the greatest interest in the mechanical part of the stonelaying. taiKing lengthily with the Prince of Wales on the subject.

ANOTHER "JUNIOR REFt'DLIC Social Experiment tvlth Boys to Be Tried In Pennsylvania. Philadelphia Press. As an educational and social experiment in practical phllanthrophy the Juvenile Republic recently established by Mrs. William T. Carter, of this city, at the picturesque mue namiei oi iteaington, Lehlgh county, is an attractive and promising success. It Is an attempt to develop in the fifty boys end girls gathered from this city the sense of individual responsibility, industrial independence, thrift and business sagacity, and, above all, it is a means of teaching the boys what the boys of to-day in our country most need respect for law. The plan of this little republic, which has modeled its civil institutions so closely after those of the United States, is intended to give an excellent training to Its citizens in civil duties. It is claimed to be a great stride forward in solving the problems of society as affecting those whose early educational, social and moral training has been neglected or prevented. The republic's constitution Is modeled after that of the United States, and the laws are those of Pennsylvania, plus such laws as are enacted by the crtliens themselves. All the laws are made by a Legislature, chosen every month by ballot. When the miniature nation was organized two months ago a president was chosen with absolute veto power on the actions of Congress, and vested with the other executive duties. Both houses of the legislative branch of the government are elected by popular vote: senators for two months and members of the lower house for one month. The judiciary consists of Criminal and Civil Courts, presided over by judges appointed by the President, and all citizens charged with crime are entitled to a trial by jury. Imprisonment and fines are imposed as penalties for crimes. The most important feature otf the government has proven to be a permanent police force, the members being chosen from the people by ballot. While the keynote of the republic Is perfect liberty, under a reign of self-imposed law, the community has certain means at its disposal whereby labor and thrift are encouraged and rewarded. All Its citizens are encouraged to be workers, but idleness la not punished. Nonproducers find themselves at a great disadvantage, and their moneyless condition soon brings them to the paupers' table, which Is secluded, and at which the plainest fare is dispensed. No poor tax, except for the sick, who are unable to work. Is Imposed. Paupers are compelled to do a certain amount of work for lodging and meals. The working hours are from 8:30 until 12. The afternoons are devoted to recreation and study. Farming the 100-ecre farm is the chief occupation. All the Loy9 have their regular occupations, such as farm labor, landscape gardening, carpenter work and light work in the adjoining stone quarries. Girls employ themselves at sewing, millinery, laundry work, cooking and household duties. All citizens who work at anything receive good wages 13, 12 and 10 cents rer hour, according to the grade of work. The citizens are required to pay out of their earnings for board and lodgings. Nothing Is provided free of charge. All meals must be paid for, and lodging also has Its price. The coin of the republic Is a circular piece of tin. with the different denominations stamped thereon. It is issued in denominations up to a dollar, and with it all the business of the republic must be transacted. The money Is issued by the government bank for services rendered. The situation of the republic is Ideal, beIng on the mountuin side and hounded on the other side ny the sluggish Lehigh river. The farm of 100 acres affords ample returns from Its soil to supply the republic with vegetables, grain and fruit. One large building is now used as a -dormitory and hotel, while the various branches of the government ara houxsd In a near-by loir.

A CHARrtED LIFE. In a railroad accident the other day a man sustained ten complete fractures of the bones of the limbs, three fractures of the pelvis, and a score of bruises, gashes and sprains, and yet he is recovering. Men

and women sometimes withstand great - physical violence, but succumb to the invisible germs of .cop sumption so small that they can be seen only under a powerful microscope. Trie starting point of consumption is in ine stomach, which, when deranged, makes bad blood because digestion is not perfect, and in had blood the mi crobes multiply and flourish. Sooner or later the lungs are attacked, and in the weak spots the germs begin their deadly work of tearing down the tissues. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery stops the encroachments of consumption microbes. It builds up and fortifies the whole system by aiding the stomach in its many "functions. It assists in the proper assimilation of food. This scientific remedy cures lingering coughs, bronchitis, bleeding at the lungs, and every others symptom that eventually leads to consumption. Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo. N. Y., who makes this wonderful medicine, gives free, fatherly advice to all who write him.. Last spring I was taken with severe pains in my chest, and was so weak I could hardly walk about the house," says Mrs. G. E. Kerr, of Fort Dolge, Webster' Co.. Iowa. "I tried several physicians and they told tne I had consumption, but that I might brush it over and perhaps live a goott many, years. I heard of Dr. Tierce's Golden Medical Discovery and I thought I would try soifie of it. Before I had taken the first bottle I was very: ranch belter; I took five bottles of it and have not yet had any return of the trouble. I have also taken Dr. Pierce'a Favorite Prescription and Tlcasant Pellets with good result. When the -bowels are obstinate, take Dr. Pierce's Tleasant Pellets. They don't gripe.

PENNSYLVANIA ST. NURSERY INSPECTION. To Whom the Kerr Lavr Applies and When It Will Be Effective. Professor James Troop, state entomologist of Purdue University, has Issued a bulletin concerning the nursery Inspection law, la which he says: . .... . "The last General Assembly of Indiana passed an act to provide for the inspection of nursery stock, as well as orchards, .and to prevent the dissemination of the San. Jose scale, and other Injurious insects and plant diseases. The law applies not only to nurserymen, but to every farmer and fruit grower, whether he has a single treo or ten thousand. "The section relating to the state entomologist states that it shall be his duty to inspect all nursery stock and other plants as providl for in the act. and he or his assistant is authorized to enter upon any premises lor the purpose of examining such stock. ' "Section 6 states that every nurseryman or seller of trees, who is a resident of this State, shall attach a printed or written certificate, signed by a state or government entomologist, to each package of trees or plants shipped or delivered. Failure to furnish such certificate shall render him liable to the penalty of a fine of S25 for each offense. "Section 8 refers to the farmer and fruit grower, as well as the nurseryman, and states that whenever one of these has good reason to believe that his trees or other plants are affected with San Jose scale, etc., it shall be his duty to notify the state entomologist, who shall examine the same and advise the proper remedies. In case the owners do not apply these remedies within a ppectfled time they shall be liable to a fine of 5 and costs for each offense. "Section 9 requires all nursery stock shipped into this State from another State to be accompanied by a certllicate signed by a state or government entomologist, and Section 10 makes it the duty of the agent of any railroad, steamboat or express company, or other carrier, receiving packages of nursery stock from other States, which are not accompanied by a certificate signed by a state or government entomologist, to report the fact at once to the state entomel"glst, who shall examine the same, at the expense of said transportation company. Failure to so report on the part of the agent of the transportation company, subjects him to a fine of not less than f3. and not more than $100 and costs. "This law has two objects in view, viz.: To stamp out these various pests where they already exist, and to prevent their further Introduction Into the State from infested districts in other States and Territories. In order to do this it will be necessary to have the hearty co-operation of all nurserymen, fruit growers and others interested. The San Jose scale, one of tho most to be dreaded Insects in this country, has been located in eleven counties in this State, and in every case It has been introduced upon infected nursery stock Imported from other states. Tne PiacK Knot on piuni trees has been neglected so long In certain localities that it is abwlutely essential that strict measures should be taken to stop Its spread In order to save the remaining trees. "Trie law has been In force since Marrh L 1K. but, owing to the lateness of the season when the state entomologist wag appointed, it was impossible for htm to Inspect all nursery stock In the State before tho spring shipments began: and as the law requires the nurseries to be inspected between June 1 and Oct. 1 he has allowed some shipments to go out uninspected. After. June 1 the law will be strictly enforced." Sale of Trottlnic Horses. CLEVELAND, O.. May 17.-The blddlmr was again spirited at the t asig-Tlpton hor? sale towiay.
