coal to-day at $6.60 per ton. Other dealers

Jlr. Ross received a big consignment of
coal yesterday morning and at 5 o'clock
this morning prospective purchasers began
to gather. "When the coal oBlce doors were
opened at 7 o'clock there were over 300 per

CHAPMAN TELLS STORY
OF THE ALLEGED BRIBERY.
Continued From Face One.
hasty exit from tho courtroom. His wife
was called and appeared very promptly. Mr.
Folk asked:
"Tour name is Mrs. Bella Chapman, -wife
of Doctor Chapman?"
"Yes, sir."
Mrs. Chapman seemed very nervous 'while
answering Mr. Folk's queries, but spoke
clearly. She told of Butler's visits. Oa
one occasion Colonel Butler had called
when Doctor Chapman was out at a Board
of Health meeting. She met him at the
door and told him where her husband was.
She said "he had left, saying he -would drive
around again. She testified somebody had
made a call later, but that she had not
personally seen him and could not swear
that it was Butler.
"Did Mr. Butler ride or walk?"
"He came in a buggy."
Attornoy Rows conducted the cross-examination.
"What month was it, Mrs. Chapman, that
this occurred?"
"September."
"Can you fix the date of the month or the
day of tho week?"
"No. sir."
"But Mr. Chapman was at a board meet
ing?" "Tea."
Mrs. Chapman was then excused without
re-dlrect examination.
TUXTB ITLATTAX
rDEISTIKIES BUTLER.
Miss Tilllc Blattan of No. 1533 Mississippi
avenue, a nurse employed at the Chap
man's, was called and swore that she saw
Colonel Butler, whom she identified, three
different times at her employer's home. The
first of these occasions was that described
by Mrs. Chapman, and the witness repeated
that Butler had said he would drive around
that way again.
"He came back about an hour afterwards.
I saw him enter the door from where I
was standing, and saw him go into ctor
Chapman's omce and meet the doc.or. I
saw them sitting and talking together."
When Butler made his third call, that
said to have occurred on November 1, Miss
Blattan opened the door for him. She
showed him into the office.
"Did anybody come with Mr. Butler to
Doctor Chapman's house?" asked Mr. Folk.
"I don't know about the second time, but
a man was with him the first and third
times."
"What kind of man white or black?"
"Colored."
-"How do you know that?"
"The first time the reins had got caught
in tho horse's 'tail and the driver reached
out to grasp them. I saw his hands and
they were black. The third time that Mr.
Butler came the man got out of the buggy
to undo a hitch rein tied to the bridle and
I could see his face."
Judge Krum began his cross-examination.
"At any tlmo soon after these occurrences
did you talk to anybody concerning them
or tell of them to anybody?"
Judge Krum's gruff, voice, though Jie low
ered It to a gentle tone, seemed to frighten
the witness, who is a fragile slip of a girl.
Sho was on the point of tears, b'jt managed
to retain her composure.
Tes, I told my aunt about two or three
days after Mr. Butler camo the last time."
Mr. Folk asked, on redirect examination,
if she had not spoken to himself and Doc
tor Chapman. She remembered that she
bad. Judge Krum asked her why she, didn't
tell him this, and she replied that she
thought he wanted to know only to whom
she had spoken soon after the visits. The
reply was sufficient for Judge Krum, and
.the tearful young lady was allowed to de
part. Her testimony was generally regard
ed as strong on the polnt3 It affects.

HASTINGS MACADAM.
NO ONE IN THE MAYOR'S CHAIR.
Mr. Hornsby Did 2Jot Visit the
City Hall Yesterday.
AcUng Mayor Hornsby was not at the
City Hall yesterday, and could not bo
found by Sheriff Dlckmann, who spent the
day searching for him.
Telegraphic reports from Columbia, Mo.,
stated that Mr. Hornsby arrived In that
city on an afternoon train, but the Mayor's
secretary, Mr. McConkey, declared that Mr.
Hornsby had not left the city.
Quite a contrast between the ambitions
of Speaker of the House of Delegates Fon
tana and Vice President Boyce of the City
Council was shown yesterday when It be
came known that Mr. Hornsby was wanted
In Columbia.
When Butler's first trial was caUed and
there was a mere possibility of the Mayor
and Mr. Hornsby both being absent from
the city, Fontaca, who is next in rank in
the municipality, spent many anxious mo
ments In the vicinity of the City Hall await
ing an opportunity to fill the Mayor's chair.
But not so with Captain Boyce yesterday
when- there .was every reason to:bellevo.,
'tbat Mr. Hornsby 'would be called away,
thus leaving the execuUve office in Captain
Boyce's hands. The latter did not go near
the City Hall, nor did he telephone to see
if he was wanted. He was at bis office all
day, though, and could have been easily
summoned if needed.
Fontana is away in the woods somewhere,
fishing, so he would not be available, even
If wanted.
MISS MAVIS STORMS KILLED.
Former St. Louis Girl Meets Death'
in Automobile Accident.
New York, Nov. 11. Friends of Mr. James
E. Kelly, a sculptor, were shocked to learn
to-day that on Saturday In Florence, Italy,
Mis3 Storms. Mr. Kelly's fiancee, was killed
In an automobile accident. Only tho bare
announcement came In a private cable to
Mr. Kelly. Details will come by letter.
Miss Storms's home was In St. Louis,
but she had resided In Italy for several
j ears. The wedding was set for Decem
ber 10 in Florida.
Mr. Kelly, who has a studio In West
Fourteenth street, has been working day
and night on a heroic statuo of tho late
General ritzjohn Porter in order to leave
for Florence within a few days. Mr. Kel
ly Is well known as a sculptor of naval and
military heroes. His last and one of his
most notable works was the bronze rqies

Juan Hill.
GOOD STORIES FROM
THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
ncpcnuc special.
Washington, Nov. 1L "Of course, I can
not call him by name, but he was once a
candidate for the post of Minister to Slam
under the last Cleveland administration."
It was a well-known State Department ot
ficlal who was thus reminiscing to-day.
"We were a small coterie of do-or-dle of
ilceseekers, camped in Washington for the
purpose of landing big plums. The best
hotel in town was none too good when we
began our campaigns and we came from
almost every section of the country it was
here that we met and formed our trust.
"Mr. Cleveland was slow to recognize our
abilities, and our friends In Congress had
difficulty in convincing him that the country
needed our services. So we declined into a
second-rate boarding-house. Time went and
so did our money. The President remained
unconvinced, and we all landed in a cheap
lodging-house over a 5-cent lunch counter.
Hcpo deferred mado our appetite for ofllco
grow- stronger, and wo stuck it out in spite
of dismal surroundings and very bad food.
One day when we were all lined up at the
lunch counter a friend rushed In waving an
evening paper and grasped the candidite
for Slam vigorously by the hand.
"'Congratulate vou, old man," said he,
with a beaming face.
" 'What for?" "
" Tou have landed Slam here it Is In
the paper: name gone to the Senate.' "
"Our friend turned white, dropped his
pleco of esterdaj's apple pie on the floor
and made a break for the street.
" 'Where are you going?' he shouted.
" 'To dinner. Send my trunk back to tho
Arlington. Don't suppose I can associate
with common offlceseekers, do you?'
"It was the first break in our ranks, and
we did not like the'manncr of his going at
all. But Inasmuch as we all finally landed
In civil-service places, and Inasmuch ns our
friend has since been hunting for a job, we
forgave him."
Senator Hoar was showing some Masta
chusetts visitors about town one day, and
was pointing out a magnificent old resi
dence" built years ago by a famous and
rather shady lawyer of his time.
"Why," was asked, "was he able to bclld
a house like that by his practice?"
"Yes," replied the Senator, "by his prac
tice and his practices."
A young Washingtoilan walked Into one of
the principal banks the other day and informed-
the teller that he desired to borrow
50,000. He tendered his promissory note,
indorsed by Representative Cannon of Illi
nois, chairman of tho Committee on Appro
priations. "Very sorry, sir," said the teller, coming
back to the window, after having disap
peared for a moment, with the note In his
hand, "but we can't let ou have this."
"Why," asked the applicant, "Isn't that
indorsement good? It's "Uncle Joe' Can
non, chairman of the Committee on Appro
priations, you know."
"Yes, I know that; the trouble Is that It
is too good. But we don't know you so
well. Suppose you should fall to pay tbi
note. We would hardly like to ask Mr.
C.annon to pay it. We have to go before
the Committee on Appropriations two or
three tl'nea each year to request favorabl"
action on certain legislation. We would
hardly want to call upon him to pay this
note if you should fall to do so."
"Oh, that's it, is it," replied the young
man. "But suppose I tell Representative
Cannon that you have refused to accept
his indorsement?"
The sum of $230 was instantly forthcom
ing. "If Governor Odell had been beaten,"
said a New York Republican, who was in
town to-day, "he would never havo
squealed. He's a thoroughbred, and he got
his thoroughbred lesson from his good old
father. One day, years ago, when the
Governor was a boy, his father said to
him:
" 'Ben, do you know what a thoroughbred
is? Well, I'll show you. See those two
doss? Well, this one' and he picked up an
ugly looking, low-bred pup and gave him a
gentle shaking, causing yelps and barks
and howls to rent the air "this is not a
thoroughbred.' Then he picked up the
other, a fine looking, handsome young dog.
and shook him hard, not a sound coming
forth. 'There,' said the father, 'that's our
thoroughbred, my boy; be a jhoroughbred
and whatever happens don't squeal.' "
If United States Consul Gudger at Pana
ma, Colombia, ever wants political support
he will have to look elsewhere for It than
to his brother. J. M. Gudger, Jr.. who was
elected to Congress from the Tenth North
Carolina District on Tuesday last. Consul
Gudger Is a Republican, but his "brother was
elected to Congress on the Democratic tick
et. When Consul Gudger obtained leave of
absence from Panama and returned to this
country a few weeks ago, he went direct to
his home at Asheville and at once became
active in the campaign. He threw his in
fluence to the support of Representative J.
M. Moody, who was a candidate for re
election on the Republican ticket. And this,
dcplte the fact that his brother was the
Democratic candidate, and finally the vic
torious one.
Charlie Edwards, the genial and enthusi
astic secretary of the Democratic Congres
sional Committee, now finds himself con
fronted with several extravagant election
bets, which he is expected to pay. Aside
from several wagers In cash. Secretary Ed
wards was confident enough in Democratic
success to offer to eat the hat of a well
known newspaper correspondent if the Dem
ocrats failed to elect a majority in the
House. On the other hand, if the Repub
licans lost the newspaper man was to pay
Mr. Edwards $10. The terms op the bet
were reduced to writing and Secretary Ed
wards Is due to perform tho hat-eating
trick next Wednesday evening In the pres
ence of a few interested friends.

LAUDS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Mr. Roosevelt Congratulates the
Organization on Its Record at
the Dedication of Its New
ITome in Jsew York.
HErUBUC EPECIAI
New York. Nov. 11, With a hearty "god
speed" spoken by the President of the
United States, the only IUIiib former Pres
ident, the Goernor of tho State, and by
representatives of the other sreat nations
of the earth, the Chamber of Commerce of
the State of New York dedicated to-day the
marblo palace that is Its new homo and
entered upon a new era In its career.
It w.is an occasion made noteworthy by
thepresenco of Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Cleve
land, members of th Cabinet, foreign Am
bassadors, famous Generals, leaders in the
world of Industry and finance, and by
scores of distinguished delegates from the
commercial centers of Europe. In the even
ing, the festivities culminated in a banquet
In the large ballroom of the Waldorf-Astoria,
at the close of which C(V) guests and
members applauded tho friendly expres
sion of the 1'resdent, the French and llrit
ish Ambassadors. Prince Henry of Pless
and other speakers.
Along one end of the hall stretched the
Prebident'b table. Above its center gleamed
in electric light the faeal of the Chamber of
Commerce, flanked on either side by blue
and gold banners of silk bearing the shields
of tne principal ciilized nations. Similar
ly arranged along the side walls of tho
great rooms were banners displa.ng the
arms of all the States of the American Un
ion. Smllax and a liberal use of bunting and
flowers completed a charming decoratHe
scheme. Morris K. Jesup, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, presided.
When President Roosevelt came In with
Mr. Morris K. Jesup. there was faint ap
plause, which grew into a storm when the
assemblage knew that tho distinguished
guests were about to enter. Former Presi
ent Cleveland was just behind President
Rooseelt and the foreign Ambassadors and
other guests followed. The orchestra plaied
"Hail to the Chief."
All remained standing until the Reverend
Morgan DIx, clad in the habiliments of the
church, read the dedicatory prayer. The
assembly repeated the Lord's Prajer, with
Doctor Dix. who then inoked divine bless
ings upon the Chamber of Commerce, and
the efforts of the body In the future.
The address of the evening was delivered
by President Roosevelt.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELTS SPEECH.
The President said:
I do not wish to ppeak to you in the language
of idle complioient. and jet It Is but a bare
statement of fact to say that nowhere in our
country could there be gathered an audience
which would Btand as typical. characteristic of
all those qualities and attributes which hae
given us of the United States our commandini
position In the Industrial world
There Is no need of my preaching to this gath
ering the need of combining efficiency witn up
nght dealing, for, as an American and as a cit
izen of Jev lork. I am proud to feel teat th
name of jour organization carries with It a guar
antj of both: and jour practice counts far nor
than any preaching couid posaiblj count. New
York is a clt of national Importance, bcausj
Its position toward the nation ii uniqu", and the
Chamber of Commerce of New York must of
necessity be an element of weight In the com
mercial and Industrial welfare ofhe entire peo
ple NeT York is tho great port of entry for our
country the port In which centers the bulk cf
foreign commerce of the country and her wel
fare Is therefore no matter of merj local or
municipal, but of national concern. The conluct
of tha Government in dealing with all matters
affecting tho financial and commercial relations
of New York must continually take In account
this fact: and It nust be taken into account in
appreciating the importance of the part plaed
by the New York Chamber of Commerce. This
body stands for the triumphs of peace, both
abroad and at home
bTATUS Or THi: NATION.
We have passed that stage of national tleel
opment when depreciation of other people-) is
felt as a tribute to our own We natch th
growth and prosperity of other nation, not ith
hatred or JaIcUM. but with slncre and friendlj
good will. I think I can xay Fafely that we hae
shown by our attitude tow aid Cuba, by our
attitude toward China, that as regards a weaker
Power our desire is that thej may be able to
Ftand alone, and that If they will only show
themselves willing to deal honestly and ffcirly
with the rest of mankind, we on our side will
do all vn can to help, not hinder, them.
With the great Powers of the world we desire
no rivalry tnat is not honorable to both parties
"We wish them well We beliee that the trend
of the modern spirit 1 ever stronger tonard
peace, not war; toward friendship, nit hostility,
as the normal International attitude.
We are g'ad, indeed, that v.e are en good
terms with all the other peoples of mankind, and
no effort on our part shall be spared to secure
a continuance of these relations. And remem
ber, gentlemen, that wo shall be a potent factor
for peace largely In proportion to the way in
which we make It evident that our attitude is
due not to weakness, not to Inability to defend
ourselves, but to a genuine repugnance to wrong
doing, a genuine desire for self-reopcting friend
ship with our neighbors
NEED TO KEEP PREPARED.
The voice of the weakling or the craven cojnts
for nothing when he clamor for peace; but the
olco cf the Just man. armed, is notent.
We need to keeo In a condition of preparedness,
especiallj as regards our navv. not because we
want war, but because we desire to stand with
those whose plea for peace is listened to wrtth
respectful attention.
Important though it Is that we should Iiave
peace abroad. It Is even more Important we
should hae peace at home Tou, men of the
Chamber of Commerce, to whose efforts we owe
so much of our Industrial well-being, can and I
believe surelj will be influential In helping to
ward that Industrial peace which can obtain In
society only when in various relations emplojer
and employed alike show not merely Insistence
each upon his own rlshts, hut also regard for
the right of others, and a full acknowledgment
of the interests of the third party tho publk.
LABOR PR0B!EMS.
It Is no easy matter to work out a svstem or
rul of conduct, whether with or v 'thout th
help of th law-giver, who shall minimise that
Jarring and clashing of Interests In the iTlus'rlal
world which causes fo much Indlvliml irrltntlop
and suffering at the present day. and which it
times threatens ba'eful cnn-ooucnccs to the
larg" portions of the body poliil
Tint the Importance cf the problem cannot be
overestimated, and It deserves to ree've te
careful thought of all men, ich as those whom
I am addrrs-lng to-nlsht There should be n
yielding to wrong, hut there should mot cer
tainly be not only a desire to do right, but a
willingness each to try to understand tho iew
polnt of his fellow, with uhorr, fr weal or for
woe, his own fortunes are indissolublj bound.
No patent remedy can be devised for th" solu
tion of these grave pnMems In the industrial
world: but we may rest assured that the ran
bo solved at all only If we bring to the solution
certain old-time virtues, and If we strive to keep
out of the solution some of the ihost familiar
and most undesirable of the traits to which man
kind has owed untold degradation n0 suffering
throughout the ages.

ilage my husband began to complain of a
distress in his 3toruach, and I had such
dizzy spells after each meal that we nad to
wee a doctor. We drank coffee three times
a day, but did not imagine that coffee was
causing ail this distress. The doctor said
both our livers were out of order, gave
us some medicine and told us that we ought
to break off drinking coffee. We stopped it
for awhile, but missed the hot drink. so
much we went back to coffee. In Ave years'
time I lost a complexion that was fault
less and gained a very bad stomach, j-nd
my husband's stomach was ruined. He
thought he had cancer of tha stomach, or
something worse but we had formed the
habit of coffee-drinking, and, like drunk
ards, Jound It no easy matter to break off,
although we knew it was killing both of us.
"We kept a grocery store at the time,
and a lady called one day and asktl for
Postum Food Coffee, saying 'My children
like it; will not drink anything else, and I
know it is good fcr them, because they
never have trouble with their stomachs.
This Interested me. and I told her about
my bad stomach. She told me how to make
Postum, and we began its use ourselves.
"After drinking it three times a day lor
a week. I felt much better, and my husband
declared that ho felt like a new man. We
nave drank Postum for four years, and
have never had one particle of stoinan
trouble since, and I have lost that sallow,
yellow color I so much disliked, and the
whites of my eyes are as clear as ever
again. 1 know It Is because we left off
drinking coffee and drank Postum. I can
eat anything and everything, and never
know,I have a stomach. My husband Used
to say I would ruin our coffee trade be
