From the San Francisco Post. “Yes, sir, they have the greatest timber on earth up in Humboldt county,” ex- claimed Sam McConaghy of the United States mint. “The trees up there are so big—well I'm not going to tell you how big they are because you wouldn't believe it. Don’t know as I would believe it myself, though I do believe a whole lot I tell. But just to give you an idea, now, they cut down one tree up there that made enough lumber, pickets and shingles to build a whole town and fence it, and they've still got logs enough left to put up a building as big as the Palace Hotel. “The butt of the tree was hollow, too, for about fifty feet, and as it fell right square across a deep gulch they used it for a bridge. Four-horse teams drive through it. By a little hewing out they can make a footpath on each side of the wagon road through it. That tree was so tall that when they commenced cutting it up they had to make two camps—one at each end— for it was too far for the men working on the top to walk back at night. I don’t know what they would have done if several hun- dred feet hadn't been broken off the top by the elements eenturies ago. “But that was a small tree compared to the one—" McConaghy fs telling himself about that other tree. —-e-_______ A 16 to 1 To From the Cincinnati Enquirer. “Is this a sixteen-to-one town?” asked the drummer. “It air on Sunday,” answered the native.

Cushing and Brooks of the Capital Arraigned on Charges of Mr. Conn of the Times. The case of Messrs. Marshall Cushing and Hobart Brooks, the editor and business muanager of the Capital, charged with crim- inal libel, came up in the Police Court this morning before Judge Miller. ‘The offense alleged against them was the publication in a recent number of the per- fodical of an article which purported to ex- plain the reasons for a change of base which the Washington Times made not lcng ago cn the silver question. In the ar- ticle in question the writer, using the per- scnal pronoun “I,” expressed his surprise that the Times had so suddenly changed from a free silver organ to a “‘hard-money” paper. Some light seemed to be thrown on the question, he said, by a letter which had recently come into his possession, purport- ing to be written by Mr. C. G. Conn to a prominent democrat, offering to throw the Times into the breach in the fight for free silver in case it was made worth his while. Accompanying this was an unsigned ietter, alleged to be in reply to Mr. Conn's letter, declining his offer. An Attorney’s Idea of Newspapers. Mr. Richard P. Beall, the attorney for the defendants, moved to quash the infor- mation on the ground that it did not prop- erly connect the defendants with the pub- lication of the article, and, further, on the ground that the statement itself did not constitute a libel. In his opinion newspa- per space, as a general thing, is for sale, and for any one to say that Mr. Conn had offered to enter Into a business arrange- ment like that spoken of in the Capital Was not of itself libelous. Judge Miller overruled the motion, say- ing that the evidence in the case would throw the best light upon the question of libel. Mr. Conn was the first witness called. He testified that he had never written the letter alleged nor one in any way like it, nor had ne ever received any such reply as the one referred to in the article com- plained of. “Then that article is not true?” asked Mr. Jeffords. “It is wholly a fabrication.” Mr. Conn’s Reasons for His Policy. On ercss-examination Mr. Conn, who said that he was the editor and part owner of the Times, testified that up to the time of the democratic convention his paper had been “independent,” but after that it had Leen a stout advocate of the gold stand- ard. Asked to explain the reason for this change, Mr. Corn said that he had heped ali along that the moncy question would not be made an issue in the campaign, but when the party came out fer free silver there was nothing for him to do but an- tagorize it. As a manufacturer and em- ployer he was salisfied that if free silver should be successful it would work the greatest injury to the business industries of tho country. In answer to a direct question, Mr. Conn said that he had no other reason for com- ing cut for the gold standard than his conscientious belief that it was the true fiseal standard. Mr. Solomon Goldsmith, who said that he was the manager of the Times, testified to purchasing two copies of the Capital in which the article in question appeared. Defendant Brooks on the Stand. Mr. Brooks, for the defense, testified that the letters that were published in the Capital were brought to that office and he had every reason to believe they were genuine copies of letters one sent by and the other received by Mr. Conn. The publication of the article was not prompted by malice at all, and in support of that statement Mr. Brooks, at Mr. Beall’s sug- gestion, read a paragraph from the Capital of July 20, the week before the date of the alleged libelous article, in. which Mr. Conn was spoken of in the highest terms. Henry C. Bursleigh, who is employed as a reporter on the Capital, testified that he got the letters from a young man named Ben. Woog, who said that he had got them from his father, and assured him that they were verbatim copies of the original let- ters. Ben. Woog's Testimony. Ben. Woog testified that up to three weeks ago he was a newspaper man and knew Bursleigh. In answer to a question from Mr. Beall, Woog said that he was un- willing to testify, as it might tend to in- criminate him. He declined to say whether or not he had handed the letters to Bur- sleigh. Woog finally admitted that he had never seen the original letters of which those in question purported to be copies. This was about all that could be got out of young Woog, for he declined to answer every question put to him. “You seem very much afraid,” sald Judge Miller, caustically. “I am, your honor,” admitted the young man, who showed it in all his bearing. In answer to a question from Judge Miller Woog said he was twenty years of age, and was a publisher and newspaper man. What do you publish?” am not publishing anything just now.” ‘What paper do you work on?” “Well, I worked for awhile on the Wash- ington News.” “That's dead now, I believe,” said the . Cushing then took the stand in his own defense. He told about the receipt of the letters at his office, and said that he would never have printed them if he had not believed they were genuine. Woog insisted that they were true copies, but said that he was afraid it might get him into trouble with his father, who had either the originals or the first copies of it. Mr. Cushing sald that there was no malice or animosity in the publication. He was surprised when he saw the Times come out for gold, for he believed that from the character of the Times’ following a different policy would have proved more profitable. Without Malace. The case was argued briefly by the law- yers on both sides, Mr. Beall contending that if the article was libelous Woog was the man who was at least morally guilty. Mr. Jeffords claimed that it made no differ- ence whence the story came, for its publi- cation. constituted the lbel. In disposing of the case Judge Miller en- tered into a consideration of the principlés underlying the laws of libel. In the present case, he thought, the publication was a libelous one. Cushing and Brooks, he thought, had been sadly imposed upon, and had evidently acted without any malice, but still enough of @ case had been made out to warrant holding them for the grand jury. Bonds were fixed in the sum of $300. —— May Be the Man. Detective Horne will go to New York this evening with an employe of the Coch- ran Hotel to see Roxy McKenna, the al- leged hotel thief, who {s under arrest there. McKenna is sixty years old and is suspect- ed of being the man who registered at the Cochran here several months ago as J. 1. Willetts. This man is suspected of being the individual who robbed the room of Congressman Johnson of Ohio of about $500 in jewelry and money. McKenna an- swers the description of this man, and an effort is, therefore, going to be made to have him identified. ————— Ageinst Free Silver. William E. Russell, a carpenter, whose home is in Baltimore, was furnished trans- portation to his home today by Sanitary Officer Frank. He has been in Central America, ¢ silver country, and because of the condition of affairs down there he has come home, thoroughly convinced that the gold standard is the best thing for the country, and he will vote against free sil- ver. During the course of his conversation he sald that for an ordinary 50-cent hat in this country $7 is charged in Guatemala, while the boots he was wearing cost $20. Wages are not proportionately high. Unit- ed States silver, he said, is regarded as gold down there in Central America, and the merchants prefer it to their own mon- ey. After leaving there he became strand- ed and has had to be assisted home. THE OFFICIAL WEATHER.

Why the Smart Woman is So Well Stayed—Learn How to Wear a Corset. The corsetiere who knows her business, says L’Art de la Mode, can supply the cor- rect shape of corset from time to time as the figure develops, but the woman for whom the corsets are made must do some of the work herself. Mme. X. herself says that with all the corsets in the world she cannot keep her promise to produce a per- fect figure unless the woman who wears them will do her part. She must learn to walk well, to sit correctly, to “carry” her- self properly, to hold her head up, to ele- vate the bust by raising the chest to where it belongs, and to keep the shoulders where they should be (which is where they fall naturally when the chest is carried up where it belongs). Then, again, while every corset must be molded to conform to the figure it encir- cles, the woman who appreciates a good figure must have several corsets at one time. For the cloth tailor-made gown there must be one corset, for the decollete dinner gown another kind, for the neglige robes de chambre another style, for the bi- cycle quite another, and so on. The correct bicycle corset, for example, is ventilated, and over the hips has merely: a side steel and some elastic bands. The dinner corset about the bust Is shaped to conform to the low-necked bodice. The corset for the lounging gown is little more than a bust support. The corset for a walking gown is built close and high above the bust and long over the abdomen. The corset for the empire gown has no bust ie speak of, and is little more than a belt, c. The woman who by patience and prac- tice and proper corseting has acquired a good figure can wear a corset longer than the woman who has a shambling carriage, and “flops” instead of sitting correctly. The latter soon forces the bones which support the corset into improper shape, and then if she continues to wear it her figure will be molded badly instead of well. A well-known New York corsetiere, who sympathizes with the woman who must be economical, says that when a corset is seen to be losing its shapeliness it can be steam- ed until the bones are flexible, and then over a flatiron the bones can be restored to their correct shape. This is only possible, however, where the best materials are used, so that the actual shaping of the corset was done in cutting the forms, the bones being used merely to hold the pieces in Place. If corsets were worn in sight, as bonnets are, what a revolution there would be in their appearance. eee. Rules for Riders. From Cycle Topics. Wheelmen insist upon causing ceaseless annoyance to themselves and their brethren by failing to comply with the common rules laid down for all riders. So many ac- eidents have happened on the road which might have been avoided with a little cau- tion, that it is necessary for them to ob- serve the following hints: Keep to the right of the road. neglect this.

Ride no faster than an eight mile an hour gait in passing through villages where you are unfamiliar with the ordinances. It will save you money.

How the Wenkest Ball Clubs Play Great Games at Times. During the lay-off of the Boston team in Cincinnati last week, o ig to the rain storm, says the Enquirer, the players be- gan talking about hard luck and “easy things.” “Don't talk about easy things. Don't count anything as a cinch nowadays,” said Capt. Ewing. “I'll never count a game as won until the bats are put away, even if we are playing against a team on crutches. I got enough of sure things when I was with the New Yorks.” “In what way?” inquired Manager Selee. “Back in the eighties, when the Bostons and the Giants weré fighting head and head for the lead,” said Buck, “we were looking for every available chance to get a hunch. We had an open day. Washington had a pestpcned game in New York. Washington also had an open date. ‘The Senators were then at the tail end of the procession. It Was dollars to dimes that we could beat them at any time or place. We thought sc well of the proposition that we offered to pay all thelr expenses and give a guar- antee of $4” a stheir share if they would ccme ever to New York and play the game cf. They came. That sure thing proved the toughest proposition of the year. The Senators made a show of us. They turned in and walloped us 9 to 1. It was a bad day, and not only did we slide back in the race Instead of golyg up, but the gate was a few hundred shy in the matter of paying the guarantee. Sinée that day I have never played even a sucker team for u cinch.” “I had a little experieace of the same kind in Baltimore year before last,” said Manager Selee. “We were in Baltimore. My team was all broken up. Two or three of the players were disabled, and we hai extra men in their places. None of the best pitchers w ready for work. It rained cats and dogs, and there were only a few people in the stands. Manager Hanlon Krew (hat my team was crippled and he thought it was a good place to ‘sneak a hunch.’ In spite of the bad weather and poor crowd he had the groundkeeper doctor up the diamond and we had to play. I put Doran in the box and expected to see my nine slaughtered. Just the reverse proved the case. Doran fooled the champions and we won the game in a walk. Hanlon was as mad as a March hare. —ros HARD TO PLEASE THE ENGLISH. An Umpire's Unique Experience in British Columbia. George Perrin, the Detroit man who went west this spring as an umpire, fs in town, and says he never cares to return to the Pacific shores, says the Chicago News. Perrin was umpiring in the Pacific League, the gate receipts were too small, the league collapsed and Perrin is now on his way home. “The best part of my experience on the coast,” sald Perrin, “was at Vancouver, 3. C. Most 6f the people up there are either fresh from England or Anglo-maniac Canadians, and they were surely birds. Base ball was new up there, and they studied the rules with great attention. Be- fore the league was even under way the manager of the Vancouver club registered a@ kick on the rule which provides that no- body except the captains of the teams shall have the right to talk to the umpire. ‘That won't do—won’t do at all, y'know,’ said he. ‘W'at's this humpire, hanyway, but a paid servant, y'know, and w’ should I not "ave the right to talk to im? And they changed the rules to read: ‘No- body but the captains and managers shall have a right to address the umpire during the progress of a game.’ “The first game played there was a reve- lation. The players were American {m- portations, and they went to work in earn- est. There was a hit, and a coacher at once got on the lines and commenced his oratory. Great confusion followed in the stand; there were audible protests from a hundred lips, and then the manager came dcwn on the field and addressed the coacher: “Oh, I sey, me man,’ said he, ‘we cawn’t hallow that “ere, y'know! That's vulgar, me man—vulgar—and we really cawn't ‘ave it And there was no more coaching al- lowed at the games played in Vancouver. ‘The crowd took a deep personal inter- est in the game, but couldn’t understand the rules. They at dncé’ took it for granted that the umpire wai nét only there to en- force the rules, but té'act as interpreter of all points they didn’t know, and they would call me to the stand twenty times an inning, more gr legs, and ask me to ‘hexplain for the Joidies, me dear fellaw,’ why this was thus,and, that was this way. It was not only mopatqhous, but it delayed the game. “The worst of it all, though, was the way they would act whenever there was a de- cision that didn’t, sult: them. Whenever they thought they had a kick coming a committee of proriinent citizens, with » Spokesman chosen from the number, would climb down ypori the field and come right over to me.“Then the leader would say: ‘I say, now, old cHap—give over! Give over and give us a: chayynce, y'know! This isn't right, old chapple—give over, now, give over!’ “Whenever I woifld call a batter out on strikes he would go over to the manager and commence beefing. The manager would say: ‘Didn’t you stroike out? The player, a tough American, would answer: ‘Naw!’ ‘Why, ‘ow was that?’ the man- ager would ask. ‘Wasn’t that lawst ball over? ‘Nit.’ the player would say. ‘It was dat far wide er de plate!’ Then the manager would come over to me and say: awdon me, old fellow, but you mustn't treat our men that way, you know! That lawst ball wasn’t over!’ ‘How in blazes do you know it wasn’t over?’ I'd answer. ‘Why, the batter told me so!’ the manager Would protest, and I’d say: ‘Get away from mei, To thunder with the batter and you, ‘oo! “Why did the league break up? Well, mainly because a ball game would draw 200 paid admissions and the next day they would have a lacrosse game and there would be 20,000 paid admissions.” DEMOCRATIC HEADQUARTERS They Will Probably Be Located Rere at the Old Wormley Hotel. This Will Enable the Committee to Work With the Populist and Silver Parties. The location of the national democratic headquarters will be decided in a few days. Senator Jones, chairman of the committee, is expected here Saturday or Monday. There is a strong disposition at present to locate the headquarters in this city, and unless Senator Jones’ trip to the west has changed his ideas on the subject it seems reasonably certain that Washington will be sele>ted. Although the location of headquarters at Washington would be an entirely new de- parture, there are many reasons, with the conditions which hedge about the cum- paign, which point to this city as the most available from which to conduct the com- ing campaign. Comparatively little aid is expected from New York or Chicago. Besides the commit- tee of the silver party has already relected Washington as headquarters, and all the indications are that the populist committee with Senator Butler at its head will also Tocate here. If the democratic headquarters were located in this city, it is claimed the three committees could to a certain «xtent work in conjunction for the union of the silver forces and the massing of their strength. Such fusion of electoral tickets fas may be necessary to accomplish this re- sult could also be more easily directed if the several committees were working side by side. But more important than all is the fact that Senator Gorman, whose long experi- once as a campaign manager would make his services almost invaluable to the new committee, has agreed to give Senator Jon®s the benefit of his counsel and advice. He does not, however, it is understood, desire any official connection with the commit- tee, but if the headquarters are located here he will be constantly in close touch with the work as it progresses. Some of the local democratic leaders here have secured an option on the old Wormley Hotel in this city as a place for the headquarters, in case Washington is selected. It is expected that Senator Jones will announce the members of the executive committee soon after his arrival. It is understood that one of the considera- tions in the proposition to locate here ad- vanced by the party leaders is that the lead- ing newspapers of Washington would treat the committee fairly, and would publish unbiased and unprejudiced reporis of the work. It is said that the independent and non-partisan character of the principal Washington journals has been recognized and appreciated by the committee. —$—$_—$_-2-__ MEASURED SERVICE. New Departure of the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company. The Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company makes the announcement that from August 1, or as soon thereafter as practicable, there will be special rates charged for measured service by its instru- ments and over its wires in the cities of Baltimore and Washington. On a special circuit the price charged will range from $66 for 600 calls in the course of twelve months to $124 for .2,000 calls when made in the same period. On a two-party circuit the price for 600 calls in a year will be $50, and for 1,800 calls, $98. There will be no charge for incoming calls to telephoners using the limited service above described, and only messages sent by a subscriber over his own telephone will be charged against the quota for which he subscribes. Under the system a subscriber will be en- titled to communicate from his station with any other subscriber to the exchange with which he is connected. The rates given are for distances within one mile of the central telephone office, which is located at the corner of,14th and G streets.

The Seaboard Air Line today gave the interstate commerce commission notice of the withdrawal of its reduced rates to southern ponits, the withdrawal to take effect August 8. Judge Simonton’s injunc- tion requiring the Seaboard and the South- ern raflroad to quit rate cutting and ap- pear before him and show cause why the injunction should not be made permanent is returnable August 15. ‘The action of the Seabcard is thought to be due to a modification of the injunction issued by Judge Simonton on Monday. The original order of the court commanded the Seaboard to restore its old rates at once. The Seaboard then asked Judge Simonton to modify his first order, and it is assumed here that the judge did so. EE Marringe Licenses.
