NAEQ Attempt to Identify Him al Insurance Inquiry. $1,500 Asked From President oi Phenix Company to Help he Campaign Fund of "Our Friend In Saratoga." Now York. March 21. The nniiio oi Senator Hrackott wns mentioned with great frequency nt the Insurance hear ing when Superintendent lloichklsf tried to find out from William II Buckley, legislative agent for insur ance companies at Albany, If Sjeiiutni IlracKett was not the person referred to in some correspondence that was read as "our friend Senator 1$.," "tin Saratoga party" and "our Saratoga friend." Huckley had had trouble beating Senator Jtrackctt's resolution intro duced In the session of 11MKJ dlreetlnp the Investigation of lire Insurance rate? In this state. The letters covered the session of 100-J. That year Mr. Hack ley wanted $1,500 from George P. Sliel don. the president of the l'henlx. and the chairman of the law and leglsla tive committee of the New York board of underwriters, to help the campaign fuud of "our friend In the Saratoga district." Mr. Sheldon had suggested after tin 1004 session was out of the way that It would be a good plan to aid tilings in the fall election of that year In somt of the senatorial districts. Huekle.t didn't approve of this plan very much because, lie said, "our friends forget they had been helped when the vri- come." He said lie thought it was but tcr to withhold aid until a crisis, but later, it seems, lie thought it advisable to do something for "our friend in tin Saratoga district." Sheldon was onlj able to send up $300, and Huckley scnl this back because he said it wouldiiM be appreciated. It appeared that following the busj session of 1003 Huckley got on the joL early la preparation for the next ses hlon. On Dec. 17, 1003, he wrote a let ter to Mr. Sheldon Inclosing drafts ol some Insurance bill "proposed by mil mutual friend Mr. H." On Dec. 10. two days later, Hucklcj wrote: "1 hnve Just returned from Sara toga, where I had a satisfactory talk with our friend Senator H." j "Who was that Senator H.?" asked Mr. Hotchklss. "I have no recollection. I had lots of friends in Saratoga." "You know a Senator H. In Saratoga don't you?" "Yes." "I want to get an admission from you that he was Senator Hrnckett." "You ain't get it from me." Mr. Hotchklss could not get Huckley to admit that "our friend. Senator It.," was Seuator Ilrackett, who bad given him so much trouble the year before. Just who this person was Huckley couldn't remember, though there ap peared to be only one Senator It. In Saratoga at the time. With Mr. Huckley still on the stand, .Mr. Hotchklss called Mr. Gresmlth. general counsel of the Travelers' In snranee company, and asked lilm if his company had ever paid Huckley any money. He said that his com pany hud made four payments to Huckley In 1003-$1S,000 In April, $1, 000 In May and ?1,000 in November of that year. Tho money, he said, was paid to put through a bill which lie hud drafted himself Increasing the lia bility reserve required of accident in surance companies. Huckley. he said, had been recom mended to him by a New York man now dead. Tho bill was introduced In January or February of 1003 and was opposed by most of the accident com panies, but was reported in May and passed and signed by the governor. Mr. Hotchklss brought out the fact that, although he got a fee of iflM.-KHj for helping this bill along, Buckley had not made any argument, but that the company had hired another llrm of lawyers for that purpose, this linn charging only $500. Mr. Grosmith didn't know exactly what Huckley had done, and when Mr. Hotchklss asked lilm why there was such a dlscrepau y between his fee and the fee paid the other lawyers the witness said he did not know. He admitted that there had been trouble over Huckley's bill and that before it had been paid Huck ley had threatened to sue tho com pany .

The remains- of tho Dryoplthcoua or fossil man discovered on tho Bongnwan river, In .lava, mixed as they wore with fossil bones of rep tiles, of tho Calnozolc ago, and lying In tho cretaceous strata, clearly prove that man was contempoiary with the Inter of the giant Saurlnii3 Ioreovor, the discovery of the Nam pa Image, a piece of handiwork found In the cretneeons strata In Ada county, Idaho, would Imply that ho had attained some slight degreo of art. Assuming then that man was living In tho Calnozole ago, tho question Is. how did he survive his acquaintanceship with the gigantic Saurlans, anyone of which could plow his way through n suburban street today or trample a herd ot elephants to death? How did ho escape the shining horns of the Trie ertops and Ceratosaurus or Pleslos nurus? The answer to these ques tions Is that oven then man possess ed Intelligence far in excess of that of the other animals. He could sup uly his lack of natural weapons by means of sharpened rocks nnd fllnt.i an.i could, by reason of his greater courage, take refuge on tho sides o volcanoes and other dangerous places where his gigantic foes dare no follow him. At any rate he not only survived the huge creatures of the later reptilian era. but passed into the Tertiary era or Mammalian atngo as the first and greatest of the Mammals. Ireland To Have Forests. Ireland has awakened to the value of her forests. A commission ap pointed by the Crown has Just made public its report. The commission urges the adop tion of a scheme for the stato to plant about 700,000 acres. This, with the 300,000 acres existing, would give Ireland 1.000.000 acres of forest land, an area which the commission considers as essential. About 20,000 acres would be pur chased by the state in mountainous regions nnd managed as stato forest, while 500.000 acres would bo plant ed by the state, but managed by prl vnte owners or by county councils. Denmark, an agricultural country half the size of Ireland, has since 1NS1 Increased her forests by 175, 000 acres. Helglum, in spito of her dense population, has added 70,000 acres to her rorests in the last twenty-live years. Ireland Is particularly suited in soli and climate for the growth of forests, but only 1 t. per cent, of her total area Is forested. The Gulf Stream. This great "Hiver of the Sea" flows from the Gulf of Mexico (nonce Its name) through tho Flor ida Strait along the eastern coast of the United States, and is then de flected near the banks of Newfound land diagonally across the Atlantic. It ts estimated to bo 150 miles wide off Charleston, and 300 miles wide off Sandy Hook, where It spreads, fanllke. over the surface of tho North Atlantic. Off Cape Hatteras its velocity Is reckoned at about 3 miles an hour, off the banks of New foundland 1 Vz miles an hour, then the rate slowly merges into that of the northeasterly drift or tho Atlan tic 4 or 5 miles a day. its tem perature Is rrora -4 5 to 81 degrees, according to depth and latitude.

Ex-President Denounces Assassinatior of Egyptian Premier. Cairo, March 110. Colonel Itoose velfs promised address to the students of the University of Egypt was do. livered here, and many of those who arc responsible for the present gov ernment of Egypt are wishing that It had not been. It was feared beforehand that Colo nel Roosevelt would make uudeslred references to the assassination of the late Premier Houtres and the Nation nlist agitation which Is now undei way. Prince Fouad, who. In addition to being the president of the university, is the khedive's uncle, was nervous before tho address was delivered and tried to induce Sir Kldon Gorst, the Hrltisli agent, to persuade the dlstln guished visitor to avoid political topics but Sir Kldon refused point blank to interfere in any way. Colonel Roosevelt not only denounc ed the assassination of Houtres with characteristic vehemence, but de nonnced with scarcely less vigor the assassins themselves and their sym pathizers, among whom are included virtually all of the members of the Young Fgypt party. He told the Egyptians in effect that they were as yet unlit for self government. Colonel Roosevelt said that the men gift of a paper constitution did not make a people lit for self government Self government wns not a matter ol a decade or two, but of generations Nobody could give self government any more than they could give the in dividual self help. The lecturer then denounced tin murder of the late premier, which h termed a greater calamity to Egypt thau it was to the victim. Emphasiz ing his words with a heavy blow ol his list, Colonel Itoosevelt said: "Any of the accomplices of the assas sins who either directly or indirect! incited the commission of the crlmt by act, word or deed ought to be ar raigned on I lie same criminal charge." 3S5 KILLED IN FIIIE. Terrible Catastrophe st Dance In Vil lage Hall In Hungary. Vienna, .March :.'!. The most terri ble catastrophe that has happened hi Austria-Hungary since the IMng the ater was burned In 18S1 occurred when ilSTi persons were killed In a lire in u large coachhouse which had been fitted up as a dance hall at the village of Oekoerlto. More than a hundred survivors of the yutnstrophc were shockingly injured. Many of those will probably die. The dance hall was constructed en tirely of wood, nnd the Interior was decorated with paper festoons, ever green wreaths and paper lanterns. One of "the lanterns became Ignited, and tho lire ran with lightning rapid ity. Those nearest the door began to make their way out, but very few had passed Into the air before tho whole celling was a roaring mass of llame. An awful panic seized the dnncers. They rushed to tho door, where a ter rifying battle took place. All self con. trol seemed to vanish In the presence of Imminent death. While the fore most of the crowd that was now com pletely frenzied were pushing, clawing and struggling Ilko wild animals the terror stricken mass behind pressed on, creating such a Jam that the door could not be forced open. Children nnd the weaker of the adults went down before the maddened rush. Scores of persons were trampled to death or suffocated, while above the pile of Injured and dying the awful battle raged. Tho terrible scene was at ItH height when the roof of tho structure collapsed and fell in upon those below. HAVE YOU EVEIt THIED ONE OF THOSE lATTIiE ADS'.' CASTOR I A For Infants and Children.

Sixty years ago the use of flint and steel to produce a fire was not wholly unknown. The Inte William E. Stone, of Peoria. 111., lived at Beaver, Pa. His father one warm August night was striken with ap oplexy. The fire was out in tho kitchen hearth and his mother in her distress, unable to find tho tinder box, was obliged to send his brother Marsh two miles and a half to a neighbor. She gave him a handful of tow, which ho put In his pocket. Arousing a neighbor with some diffi culty, she gave hlra a live coal, which he wrapped In the tow. and putting It back In tils pocket, ran home. When ho arrived there he swung tho tow around his head, thus fanned the coal and produced ii IVniu which lighted a candle In the meantime relief had been so lo.ig coming that the fathor was past all surgery.

Theme: CJL2AR SHINING AFTER STORMS. EV THEODORE L. CUYLER, D. D. One of tho numberless touches of exquisite poetry In the Old Testament Is that which describes the "tender grass springing out of the earth by clour shining after rain." The verdant grass plot which gladdens the eye Is the remit of a double process -shower nnd sunshine. Uoth are Indlspen srble. We find In this beautiful ex MasIon a typo of our deepest and richest spiritual experiences. It Is a t e of the most thorough work of cor version by the Holy Spirit. Over every .Impenitent soul hangs the dark cloud of God's righteous pleasure; His holy Woid thunders ngainst sin and His threatenirgs beat like a storm of hall. Repcuance and faith In Christ sweep away this cloud; the thunders cease: the face of tho atoning, pardoning Saviour look forth like n clear, blue sky after a storm; for there Is no condemnation to them who nre in Christ Jesus. No two cases of conversion nre exactly simi lar; yet in every thorough work of grace the darkness and dread which belong to a state of guilt give place to the smile and peace of God In the face of Jesus Christ. What is true in the beginnings of the most thorough Christian life Is often realized in the subsequent ex periences, the believer. Main and sunshine both play their part In de veloping godly character. It ought to be a comfort to such of my readers as are under the heavy downpour of trials to open their Bibles and read how it fared with some of God's most faithful children. Abraham tolled on his sorrowful way to Mount Morinh under a dark cloud of apprehension, but the clear shining came when God approved his faith and' spared the beloved son of Isaac to tho father's heart. The suc cessive strokes of trial that burst on the head of Joseph only made his ex altation the more signal when he be came prime minister of Egypt. There are forty-one chapters ot the book of Job through which beats the tempest which smote the four corners of his house, but in the forty-second chapter comes the clear shining after the rain, nnd tho blaze of restored prosperity. The biographies of Elijah and of Dan iel prove that light is sown for tho righteous; and the eleventh chapter of the Hebrews is a meteorological record to show how faith paints rain bows on thunder clouds. In our day God often employs stormy providences for the discipline nnd perfecting of His own people. He knows when we need the drenchings. Every rain drop has its mission to perform. It goes right down to the roots of the heart, and creeps into every crevice. Not one drop of sor row, not one tear, but may have some beneficent purpose. The process Is not Joyous, but grievous; nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruits of righteousness and purity and strength. Christ's countenance never beams with such brightness and beau ty as when It breaks forth after a de luge of sorrow; and many a Christian has become a braver, stronger, and holier man or woman for terrible af lllctlons; there has been n clear shin ing after rain. This principle has manifold appli cations. Sometimes a cloud of unjust calumny gathers over a good man's name; lies darken the air, and It pours falsehoods forty days and forty nights. But when the shower of -slander has spent Itself the truth creeps out slow ly but surely from behind the clouds of defamntlon. and tho slandered char acter shines with more lustor than over. The same storm that wrecks n rotten trco only rots tho more firmly the found tree, whose leaves glisten In tho subsequent sunshine. Ail yo children of God who aro un der the peltiugs of poverty, or the downpour of disappointments, or the blizzards of adversity, "think it not strange as though somo strange thing had happened unto you." Million;) have had the 'same experiences be foro you. No storm ever droivned a true believer, or washed out the foun dations of hope. The trial of your faith will be found unto pralne nnd honor and glory at tho appearing of your Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Two things ought to glvo you cour age. Ono Is that our Lord loves to honor and reward unwavering faith. He permits the storm to tost you, and then sends the smile of His sunshine to reward you. Another thought Is that tho skies are never bo brilliantly bluo as when they have been washed by n storm. Tho countenance of Jesus Is never so welcome and lovablo as when it broaks forth upon us a sun of consolation nnd Joy after trials. Sin a Burden. There nre those to whom sin Is a burden. I'enltont hearts there are who desire to forsake evil, but who fear God, and who know so well that tho nest hour they may fall and fall, that they hardly dare to pray for help in their weakness, whose good de sires are palsied by discouragement. . . , To such come tho words of Jesus as words of llfo, "Be not fearful, but-believing: come, follow mo, and ye shall find reat for your souls."
