Oct. 27. Mr. Weadock of Michigan made a sensational statement in the House, affecting the title of Wm. S.

Linton, a Representative sent from Michigan, to his seat. It was In the form of a memorial from ex-Representative Toumans, who was a candidate against Mr. Linton. The petition asserted that Air. Linton's election was neither legal nor valid.

It asks, said Mr. Weaflock. "For a committee to Investigate the whole question which Involved the determination ot the existence and animus of an un American, Illegal and tralterous organisation, vrhlcn in Michigan has gone to the length of procuring crms. The organization exists in several dates. It Is particularly offensive in Michigan.

There Its machinations bave caused a reign ol terror." "Name the organization!" cried a dozen "It ls known as the American Protective Association," replied Mr. Weadock. Mr. Hopkins protested avalnst the arraignment of a society as a traitorous organization, and made the of order that the matter was not privileged. The Speaker overruled the but Mr.

Weadock's attention being callert to the fact that Mr. Linton was not present, he consented to with-draw te matter and allowed It to go over until to-morrow. 200 Imported Shoe Store, KB, E8TEP ANXIOUS TO GET EVIDEHCK AGAI58XHIK FOB FEATJD. 205 W. BROADWAY.

This morning the first decisive steps were taken toward bringing to an end the disreputable career In t. Louis of Jules Wallace, the alleged Spiritualist, the undoubtedly fakir and fraud. Charles W. Putnam, a brother of Lowell Putnam, the young musician who Is now confined in St. Vincent's Asylum, probably hopelessly insane as a re-ult of allace's horrible, treatment, this morning, visited the Four Courts and after an Interview with City Attorney James Butler, furnished Information upon which two summonses were issued in the First District Police Court charging Wallace with telling fortunes without a 11 cense and with conducting a place of amusement without a license.

Should Justice be properly meted out It is more than probable that Wallace's career in St. Louis will come to an abrupt termination, and that some of his ill-gotten gains will divert to the city's coffers In the shape of a substantial fine or the fat fakir will be given an opportunity to mesmerize the stone heap at Mr. Lohrum's farm with a hammer. THE CASK IN POIHT. The summons, charging him with carrying on amusement without a license, alleges that on Sept.

10 last, and on many prior occasions, he conducted a place of amusement, to-wit: Cooper's Hall, corner of Thirty-fifth rnd Franklin avenue, at which singing, music and other diversions were carried on lor the entertainment of tlie public, and at which an admission fee was charged, and for which he had not taken out a city license. On the Sunday night In question, a specially large number of persons attended Wallace's usual weekly seance. Among the audience were Charles V. Putnam, the plaintiff In the present cases. Chief Undsey of the Fire Department, Abe felupsky, ex-Building Commissioner Furlong, James Egan, member of the House of Delegates: Recorder Billy" Hobbs.

J. J. Lane. an employe In the Assessor's office, and a number of others. All these gentlemen will be subpoenaed to appear as wltuesses In th9 case.

Ou this occasion Hobbs and Lane both received alleged messages from the spirit world, the latter gentleman getttne a communication from the ghosts of Henry I. l'Arcey and Dr. Justin McCarthy. Mr. Lane believes that he was the victim of a "pat up Job" and shrewdly suspects Hobbs or Abe fclupsky of furnlsulns Wallace wltn the few meager facts Imparted to him by the fake medium.

The revelation Imparted to Hobbs was entirely wrong, and that gentleman told Wallace so In as many words. As a matter of fact, Wallace himself was the victim of a confidence game In this Instance, for Hobus and Wallace bad met the night before and the former had purposelr let drop several 10,8961 AT 49.381 7.U5S 12,1 17 11.0S4 16.100 And customers may feel assured that they are not paying cost of importation. 1S.191VV Remains cf a Lunch and a Enman Feing Mix-id at Eattle Creek.

For telling fortunes without a license a one of not less than $100 and not more than $200 is provided for each offense.

The case will come up for hearing some day next week. FOR FBLOST. In addition to the summons Issued In the Police Court a strong effort will be made to bring Wallace Into the Criminal Court on a charge of fraud or of obtaining money under false pretenses. All that Is necessary to do this Is to secure the evidence of some person or persons who have visited allace and have given blm the fee he demands for so-called messages Irora the stints ot persons deceased. Mr.

Putnam will make a strong effort to secure such testimony, and then at once swear out a warrant charging Wallace with a lelony. Hhould a conviction follow, the trickster will In nil probability serve a term In the penitentiary. The authorities, recognizing the charact er of the man with whom they have to deal, are entirely in sympathy with any attempt which may be made to punish him and run him out of town. WHAT MB.

He asserts that he will prosecute every case he can bring to the bitter end and will not rest until he has to some extent avenged the fate of nis brother, whose reason was dethroned and health was ruined by Wallace's wanton and unnatural treatment or htm. He anticipates that now the wheels of Justice have teen set In motion quite a number ol persons who have been duped by Wallace will come forward voluntarily and will add their testimony to that already se. cured, making a chain ot evidence from which the thltty and tricky fraud cannot, by any possibility, escape. 107.557 'Bay.

Teacher: "Mabel, why do yoa not answer 'present' when your name is called on the roll?" Mahal- New Quarters, Where th Gar Plumaisd Ones From Africa Shine. From the Washington Post. There Is a change In store for the reptilian department of the Smithsonian, which up to the present time has occupied quarters up under the roof ln the back building of the old Institution.

It Is a quiet, secluded nook to be sure, shut oft from the rest of the building; by a winding stone staircase and defended by a number of heavy doors, which are kept shut ln case of the escape of any of the Inmates of the department, and there is always the pleasing possibility for a lay visitor to the snake sanctum to meet a rattler or a boa, or some other bird of gorgeous plumage, strolling down the narrow stairway, but soon these things will be changed, and the department will have new quarters over ln the National Museum Building, where there will be much more light, air and working space than at present, and where, with the additional shelf space at command, there will be some hope of arranging the collection for display purposes. One ot the latest collections received Is from Central America, where Mr. Richmond, one of tbe gentlemen who has done a good deal of collecting for the department, has lately gathered a large supply of snakes, many or them rare species, but which have not yet been handled or classified. The collection of snakes to which Prof. Stelneger is now devoting the most of his available tim Is a lot lately received from East Africa, where they were collected by Mr.

Chanler. In the present lot. which have been partly selected arfd classified, there are, strange to say. but two venomous snakes, one the black-iecked cobra, and the other a delicate sky-blue specimen as yet unnamed. If one may Judge from the collection, the snaKes of Airlce are a very morbid and melancholy set, ant blue is tbe color chiefly affected by them, being a number of specimens of a hrlst.t cerulean hue, the most or them tree-climbers.

There are several bur. rowing snakes, blunt-tailed specimens of a low organization probably the sans culotte of snakedom. Ose of these, however, was of rather a gorgeous color, being Hgbt below and dark above the orange-colored trimmings on the side. "Ihere were also'n the collection a number of specimens of th, true chameleon, which, probably through (Isgust at their Immersion In the alcohol bath, had turned blue, like the tree snakes, and remained a fixed color, "dyed ln the wool' 'as It were. One of the Interesting specimens of the collection is an infant crocodile of very tender age.

probably but lately emerged from the shell. There are llsards Innumerable, toads and tree frogs and many other attractions too numerous too siention, and It Is more than likely that oct of the collection there win be obtained some new specimens not before described.

Oct. Dearings. The danger sought bad been described as two spars sticking out of the water to the height ot about eighteen feet, a ratber small object to see on tbe sea even ln daypght unless close to It. Arriving on the exact position as reported, nothing could be seen of the spars. Search was begun on the plan nsed ln the Coast Survey when looking for a shoal spot.

It is known as the "starring" method or "running radlals." This consists In running a few miles on any given course, then steering a course right angles for a few miles, then steering for the original position, passing It and standing on for a few miles, turning at right angles, running a few miles and then turning und run-nlng again for the original position, ihls method, if continued, will cause the ship to describe a sort of Maltese cross around tbe original position. All this time a bright lookout was Sept, many men being on the watch for anything that looked like a spar sticking out of the water. The second tack brought success, and the ship was soon at anchor near the wreck. The exact position was latitude 39 deg. 8 mtn.

north, longitude 74 deg. 9 mln. west. The wreck was that of a very large three-masted schooner. Tbe bull was on tbe bottom ln seventeen fathoms of water, but the masts, with other wreckage, held In some manner by tbe rigging to tbe hull, projected above water.

One of them was upright, but two of them were Inclined, and all were bobbing around In the heavy sea In such a manner as to make It extremely dangerous to approach them In a boat. A cutter. In charge of the ordinance officer, left tbe Kearsarge and went to the wreck. Soundings were taken of the wreck, and the efflcer's investigations led to the conclusion tbatjthe decks of the bull must have split, and that the only part dangerous to navigation was the floating wreckage, masts, spars, that remained attached to the hull. The problem then resolved Into blowing op or tearing away this wreckage.

A gnn cotton torpedo, wires and ao electric machine were then placed In tbe boat, and tbe boat proceeded to tbe wreck. A line was loosely placed around ono of the mast, forming a sort of gromtnet. The torpedo was fastened to the gromtuet and lowered about thirty feet under water, the grommet keeping It near Color3 of the Planets. From the Youth's Companion. The wonderful difference between the same landscape In winter and In summer Is a phenomenon familiar to all dwellers In the temperate zones.

The two great elements of changes are the presence of snow In winter and of grass and leaves in summer. If we could look at our globe from the moon the variation In Its aspect due to seasonal changes would perhaps be even more striking than It appears to those upon Its surface. In fact, we sometimes lose slsht of the very Important part which vegetation plays In giving color to what might be called the countenance or the planet. It Is not the higher forms of plants that always produce the greatest effect In this way. Some of the most striking scenes upon earth owe their characteristic features to mo-sos and lichens.

The famous "crimson cliffs" of Greenland, which extend for miles northward from Cape York, derive their splendid color from the growth of red lichen whlctt covers tnelr faces. The cliff rises bet ween 1,700 and 2,000 feet straight from tbe water's edge, and being composed of gray granite, their aspect would entirely different from what It is, but for the presence of the lichen. Coming to less magnificent, but not less beautilul scenes, thw rocky pass called the Gate In the Yellowstone national park owes Its rich color and its name to the yellow lichen covering Its lofty walls; and the Indescribable hues of the great hot spring terraces arise mainly from the presence of minute plants flourishing in the water that overflows them. Considered as a whole, the vegetation of a planet may give it a characteristic aspect as viewed from space. Manv have thought that the red color of Mars may be due to the existence of red Instead of green vegetation theie.

That Its broad expanses of forest and prairie land cause the earth to reflect a considerable quantity of green light to its neighbors Is Indicated br the fact mat at the time of the nw moon a greenish tint has been detected overspremllng that p.irt of the lunar surface which is then illuminated onrv by lights from the earth. 133.092 11S. 051 Hoodfs Sarsaparilla Cures 117.126 9 H3.557 93.T47 103.79 A 887.877 183.144 Tte Truth Out. 74.973 104.670 Sunday 68.172 SO. 857 90.886 S9.06' 76.
