Nobody else present as far as I can learn and nobody here knows anything about It. Mr. Steen called at my stofe to announce 1o me that he bad investigated the affair and found nothing to it, that Kelly had saved the state #500, ete. When Mr. Steen was asked for particu- lars, and shown a statemeut from Attorgey Leese, stating that Mr. Steen had given Kelley u written order to buy other goods he aidn’t know; wouldn't say whether he did or not. After stating his side and what he had done, I askea him ‘*how about the tables?” He dido't know what they did cost; didn't know about the price or quality after stating that the peds and matresses urchased were good snd cheaper than mine. Yl.lked bim if they were as good. He said: “No, I frankly admit they are notas good. They are good, serviceable goods and don’t cost s much.”” ‘T'nen he said: *‘Mr. Joha- son, I dido’t come here to go into any ex- tendlea discussion with you as to prices, qual- ities, or the way it was done. 1 was seut h;nre by the ;;ol:)ird.vau lllnvauzn‘n the honesty of purpose of Dr. Kelly, \\'ha‘:wld that it {nu a one-sided affair and not showing any justice to me, he sald he could not help ity he could do nothing for me.

None of the charges 1 made against Kelly have been denied, and if an investigation of the methods of purchasing, letting the con- tracts, and of my charges was made by dis intorested or fair-minded parties it would be 8hown that what I state is true, and that the jobs are virtually let without any competi- tion, and thene is no other conclusion can be made than that thore 1s crookedness ia the denl somewhere.

WasniNGgToN, Dec, 5,—At the Wool Grow- ers’ convention today the National Wool Growers’ association of the United States organized by the adoption of a constitution and the election of the following oficers to surve one year: Columbus Delano, Ohio, prosident; J. T\ Rich, Michigaa, vice presi- dent; C. H. Beall, West Virginin, treasurer; Georee H. Wallave, Missouri, secrstary, and Davis Cossitt, New York, assistant secre- tary. E. N. Bissell, Vermonty W. as, and John McDowell, Pennsylvania, were elected to aet with the oflicers of the association as an executive board. A committee was appointed to draft an ad- dress to the wool growers of the Umted States. It will publish the addcess atan carly date. E Oncof the principal subjects discussed was the under valuation of tho so-called ring waste. During the last year the im- vortation of this so-called waste equalled the entirs wool clip of cither Ohio or Texas. It is superior for nearly all wool manufactur- 10 purposes 1o the fine, scoured wool of this country, and yet paid a duty of only 10 cents per pound when it should have paid, upon a proper and just classification, from 50 to 60 cants per pound. Last year about 24,000,000 pounds of thi§ wool were imported, prin- cipally from England, and sold in the murkets of this country at from 62 to 65 cents a pound, while in the same markets fine, scoured California wool sold at 55 cents per pound. It was also stated that this fine grade of wool was ma- nipulated by machinery before shipment es- pecially construeted to coil it into small rings in imitation ot waste for the sole vurpose of evading the law and of avoiding the payment of the just customs dutic A committee waited upon Secretary Win- dom this afternoon and presented a protest. ‘The sccretary stated that he was engaged in a thorough investigation of the subject and that fuil jnstice would be done the wool growing interests.

A Learned Physician Pronounces the Liquor a Paralyzant, It is one of the curious errors that al- cohol stimulates the imagipation, and 08 a clearer, more practical insight into the relation of events in life. The whirl of thought roused up by the in- creased circulation of the blood in the brain is nov imagination; it is not a su- perior iusight or conception of th tion of events, but is a rapid re ton of previous thoughts, soon merging into confusion, The inebriute never creates any new ideas or new views; all his fancies are tumultuous, blurred and barren, The apparent briiliancy is only the flash of mania, quickly followed by dementiu. Alcohol always lowers the brain ity and lowers tho power of distrimina- ting tl lation of ideas and events, After a few periods of intoxication the mind under the influence of spirits is a blank, blurred page, The poets and orators who are popu- larly supposed to make great cfforts under the influence of alcohol ouly ry peated what had beon said before 1n n tangled delivium of expressior. ‘I'he physicians who are supposed to have greater skill when using epirits have paralyzed th higher brain centers and liave lost all sense of foar or appr ciation of the consequences of their acts, and hence act more automatioal | simply doing what they have done bo- fore without any clear appreciation or discrimivation of the results, The incbriate 1s the best of all ima- ginative persons, and the one in whom the higher brain forces of judgment, reason and concoption are the first to give way, The man who uses spirits to give mental force and clearness is doing the very worst thing possible to destroy this effect, Alcohol is ever and alwuys a paral zaut, according to D, T'. Crothers, M. It never creates avything; it never gives strength and force that did not exist before; it never gives a clearer conception and power of execution, but always lowers, destroys and bremks down, - ‘Where the Soul is Located.
