COLUMBIS, O., May 2.—With the opening of the Grand Jury probe today into the charges of wholesale boodling at the present session of the Legislature, it became apparent that an entirely new line of defense in the legislative boodling cases will be sprung by the majority of the members implicated by the Burns detectives. This will be that bribes were accepted from detective-lobbyists solely for the purpose of getting evidence whereby the supposed bribers might be caught red-handed in the act. Ohio LcKislation.

He saw nl once that the man was beyond aid, but. did what lit1 could to relieve his suffering. Indiana Gazette. About 9 o'clock Mrs. Newton went to Mrs. [tollman's, nearby, and as she was returning home 20 minute: later, she heard her husband cry, "My God! help." Hushing upstairs she found him lying beside the bed unconscious and frothing at the mouth in convulsions. She called for Mrs. Hoi 1 man to get u doctor. Mrs. Newton arose Monday muring at 8:30 and asked her husband if he was not going to get up. He replied that he didn't care if he never got up. She made him a cup of coffee, which he drank. He lighted his pipe and lay down. Mrs. Newton then talked with him, telling him how proud she had been of him during the year and how he had broken her heart by again taking to drink. She told her husband that he ought, to get up and go to work as there was nothing to eat in the house. On Sunday Mrs. Newton called in Harry McClurghan and they told Newton that if he didn't straighten up they would have to send him to jail. More than a year ago Newton joined the Mission Sunday school, conducted by Miss Mi Mullen, and had lived an exemplary life since that time, until last Wednesday when he broke over. Since that day until this morning he had been in an intoxicated condition. Newton was familiarly known as "Peggy" because of a wooden leg which he wore. For years he had been addicted to the drink habit, and when getting over his periodic sprees was always morose. On numerous occasions he had told his wife that, he would kill himself some day.

Two United States gunboats and four British vessels and two French and one German gunboat are lying off Canton today, to overawe the rioters in the anti-Manchu uprising. (By United Press.) In reply to the Brookville Republican and the Brockwayville Record, wherein the Brookville Republican said it does not criticize the recommendation of the grand jurors of the April session of court, I will call their attention to the fact that the grand jurors were sworn to decide all questions on the evidence that came before them and for the Brookville Republican to say that one member of the county auditors came before us and we made our recommendation or examination of the books at his request; even If he bad of requested such, and not from our own honest judgment, and if this is not criticizing the grand jurors 1 will admit, as our friend says, 1 do not understand the English language, bur. as 1 have said that our friend may have been in the habit of taking or acting on orders being given or coming from certain sources and that casts no reflection on any one for doing so as he understands it, but my opinion led me to believe as a member of that grand jury I should make a reply to this is a matter of opinion which I will leave the people to decide. 1 consider my opinion as good as any, if right, realizing we are passing through a period of time when we should be careful to accept opinions of men before we flrst see if there is not some selfish motive to prompt them to advocate certain acta for some selfish gain politically or financially, and in answer to the Brockwayville Record they may think the loss of an old receipts as they please to call It and the tearing up of other matters but little, but he will find if the old receipt book is ever found there has been accounts that, have not been settled or passed on by the auditors, if we are correctly informed; he will find tha there has been money paid in and receipted for by the county commissioners by certain people that has friends confined in the poor house to be used to bury them at the time of their death. Now as I think the present board of county commissioners has been careless as to leaving certain records torn up and the losing of others, I do not think that they would be guilty of robbing the Inmates of the county home after death even if they should in life, but after certain people destroying certain records bv tearing tliem up, a crime which they should be sent to the penitentiary for, and certain papers In Jefferson county to contend it is just a small matter, we might elect through their Influence commissioners that would object to paying out money for the burying of the dead when there was no records establishing the facts that there was money for that purpose, but 1 will excuse my friend from Brockwayville, as he has generally been so much concerned in local option that he can see no other wrong, forgetting the fact that if our public officers have discharged their duty good it would be right to preserve the public records for further reference. It Is hard to see the faults of our friends if many and easy to see the faults of our enemies If few, but true democracy should stand for what is right. PORTER GRAND Jl'RYMAN'.

The advantage or learning German music in Germany, French music In Paris, and English music in London is manifest, and Miss Monks returns to America fully equipped to attain and hold a strong place among young artistes, both as a pianist, a singer and a most talented teacher and accompanist. One especialy strong point in Miss Monks' musicianship is a special system of memorizing which she has developed to such an extent in her own work that she astounds everyone by her rapid memorizing. Applied to her pupils. Miss Monks has had such good results as to attract to horself the attention and commendation of experts. At a small recital In Paris Miss Monks had great success playing some Grieg and Chopin selections. Her touch Is most delicate and pearly, at the same time, thanks to her German training, getting into her tone with force and strength. The second year she was accompanist and assistant of Madame Mara, who had such success in America as Kundry with the Savage Parsival company. This, of course, has given Miss Monks a wide experience, which she supplemented by coaching under various celebrated capellmeisters. In I'aris she had some lessons with one of De licszke's accompanist; also lessons In French diction and Interpretation. Her German diction also Is most excellent, Miss Monks speaks German most fluently. Although she has traveled extensively In Europe during the three years' stay, visiting Germany. Austria, Italy, France and England, her headquarters were Berlin. She holds a certificate gained at Stern's conservatory for piano, theory, harmony, voice, including a most Interesting special course of study, the physiology of the throat, under the great specialist, Dr. Lowenberg.

She attended the Temple College of Music in Philadelphia,later being one of the teachers in the conservatory. At that time she was also soloist at at St. Matthias' church. After several years of profitable work, Miss Monks decided to go abroad to perfect her voice and study music generally and get the rounded culture so necessary for interpretation that a feVv years in Europe offers one. Miss Nelle Monks is returning to America after a most successful sojourn of three years In Europe, spent in studying and coaching under various celebrated masters.

Mexico, are continuing, and the city is expected to fall into tHe hands of the revolutionists at any time, according to dispatches received at the State Department today from Consul Alger, (Continued on Page Three), The names of the twelve who have died In the past year were recited and masses said for the souls of each . They were Baby Michael, who The services at the old Church of the Immaculate Concept ion were as impressive as half a score of priests and acolytes could make them, a solemn requiem for the dead and a prayer for the living. The old church, founded by Irish Catholics, and still their favorite house of worship here, has always been the Bcene of the O'Hara funerals. Jeweled crucifixes and rosaries of rare value were worn by the women, and upon a man's finger shone a diamond worth his earnings for a year. They are not poor, these O'Haras, as the bankers of the South will tell you. Though they are homeless, they own land in large tracts; though they sleep in tents, more than one Atlanta building Is leased from the captain of the clan. Their two decades of horse trading have been profitable ones. Promptly at noon the otlier day the Clan O'Hara, 500 strong, wended its way from the camp near the river to the Church of the Immaculate Conception. They did not ride the horses of the camp nor drive the buggies so plentiful among them. They rode In carriages, for which every undertaker and liveryman was drawn upon, and they gave little appearance of helng the Bohemian strollers that they are. Suits of sober black and gowns of finest silk were there, with here and there a shawl woven in old Ireland and worth Its weight In silver. Then Ihe O'llaras bought a larger lot, a half-acre of ground, and avowed that never a member of the clan should be separated from his fellows. The O'llaras are half a thousand now, men, women and children, and never a one is too far away when spring transforms the Southern woods to green to turn his caravan toward Georgia and trade his way back to the only reunion the clan recognizes. lowed her husband, and a child or two was added to tlio little group under Oakland's sod. The game scheduled for tonight between the Spirit force and the .lokers of the City league has been postponed until Friday night owing to the condition of the weather— loo cold, m I, ilftal The Clan O'Hara has been gatber- Ing in Atlanta for its burial of the dead for twenty years and more. Once it was but a family of Irish horse traders whose head died near the growing town and who was laid to rest in Oakland cemetery.

Neither Old Thomas O'Hara nor any of his kinsmen will accept the classification hestowed impartially upon all who live upon the high road and sleep at the Inn of the Silver Moon. They are Irish all, sturdy black-haired men of the north of Ireland, and their wives are as Irish as themselves. They may have been born under different stars and stripes— the younger of the clan—but the north Ireland brogue of their fathers clings to their tongue and they still swear by their Irish saints. The Clan has been gathering for a week, and on a strange mission. It is its annual home-coming to bury Its dead. And there are many this year, an even dozen children and their elders having passed since April last to the last camp ground. Some died on the road in a far-off state; some„ of the babies in their mother's arms beneath the battered canvas of the family wagon. And each, as soon as the priest from the nearest town had spent the departed soul, was sent home to Atlanta to await in a cemetery vault the coming of the Clan. ATLANTA, (la.. May 2.—Beyond the outskirts of the city where the Fortified Hills look down upon the Chattahoochee, a magic city has risen, a city of tents and wagon tops, It might be an army encampment were it not that the tents are tattered and battered and of many colors and tilled to overflowing with laughing children. The canvas-topped wagons and Ihe dogs, the ponies staked out under a hundred trees, gives the magic city the appearance of one of the caravans of the plains. That, guess Is nearest right.
