Tit a Charlotte News, EVKHY AKTKKVOOJf EXCEPT 8VNDAY, BY - WADE n. HAIIRIS, Ed. and Proprietor " 6iPsCiw'ioiu One Year, 4; Six rrth 9? ThriM Months, II 1 er Week: 10 cents. Paper deHvered In the city by carrier free of charge "tuIdayV APRIL; 1, l'a It U asserted by friends of 8enator Stewart, of Nevada, that if his ab sence of mind could be cut into strip and pasted together, end for end, it would reach twice around illimitable space and tie In a double bow knot Out QP the slope they used to tell a story of how he was hastening: one morning to catch a train, when he suddenly stopped and said to his .companion: "There, by thunder, , I've left my watch under my pillow." "Let's go back and get It," said his friend. Hold on," replied the Sena tor, "I don't believe we'll have time," , and he drew the watch from his 1 pocket, looked carefully at the face of It, counted the moments and add- edj "No, we won't have time," and " pressed on towards the station, say V , ing, "Oh, well, I guess I can get along ' for a day without a watch." It is al "i'so ' related that Senator Stewart . dressed himself at a hotel onemorn - Ing, putting his vest on wrong side out, and in a few moments presented " himself At the office excitedly ruh- Wng the places where the pockets ought to be found and complaining that he had been robbed. It might have been believed that these tales ' - were works of imagination, says Mr. 'Amos Cummings, of the New York - Bun, had not the Senator himself one day this week, given testimony to their truth. The clerk of the Sen- ate was monotonously calling the o roll on some question in which Sen ator Stewart was not interested. The Senator sat with his elbows on v his desk, his cheeks upon his hands. and his eyes fixed upon vacancy. whither hts mind had gone, "Mr. ' Stewart," the clerk called. There was a moment of silence. Sena v tor Stewart continued to look at '.nothing. "Mr. Stewart," the clerk , called again, but Mr. Stewart did not hear him. A brother Senator sitting near reached over and touched him. The light of consciousness was Just returning to the dreamer's eyes when the clerk shouted once more: "Mr. , Stewart!" "I pass," said the Senator from Nevada. :'" personal Influenced not exempted from ' army appointments. (ten. It a Drum la generally credited with resnonsibillty for the selection of Gen, Rodney Smith as Paymaster General of the army, while ' R. B. Hays' prompting is recognized In the appointment of Pay Director Looker as PaymastoMJeneral. ' Secretary Tracy is said to have favored Pay Inspector Stewart, and that officer's name was cameo to tne wmie Houleon the day the President sent Mr. Lookers name to the Senate, The appointment or the latter va cates the detail of Inspector of the naw oav corps. This detail is a C v - - comfortable one. The officer is al lowed to select his place of residence and his duty, as the title suggests, consists in traveling and examining officers under the Paymaster-Gen eral. The selection oi an inspector seems to rest between Pay Director G. Murray, who is on waiting or ders in Baltimore, and ray Director Richard Washington, who is on duty in Norfolk. The trouble which Vice-President '- Morton Is having with the Philadel- . phia house builder, who repaired his residence and sent In a bill for sev eral thousand dollars more than the . contract price, is still growing. The Vice-President la much annoyed at the misunderstanding, but fs detej- ' mined, nevertheless, to protect his rights as a matter of principle. After 'be had been overcharged to the .. amount of nearly $6,000, a building . expert testified that much of the ' work . done : was utterly worthless. : Just before he left for Florida the Vice-President received a visit from the contractor, who demanded an ' immediate settlement Upon the re fusal of this Vice-President to com ply, alleging that he had not time before leaving the city to discuss the business, the importunate debtor boldly intimated that unless Mr. Morton settled the bill promptly he .. would not be permitted to leave , Washington. Appreciating the awk wardness of his position should an arrest be made, Mr. Morton so far . compromised his case as to sign a check for $2ftO0 on account, with this - partial payment the builder depart ' ed satisfied, having first secured him self by taking out a lien on the Shoreham flats. The topic is creat ing considerable gossip among local architects and others interested in the outcome of the question. The case of Father Boyle,the Cath olio priest who was. acquitted of the charge of criminal assault at Ral eigh, on Saturday, says the Wash ington Post, forcible illustrates what a fickle ; thing public sentiment is. When Boyle was" first tried for the offense the feeling against him was very strong, and there was much talk of lynching. The verdict of the Jury which f.;und him guilty and im posed the d?;.th penalty was receiv ed with appL use, while on Saturday the verdict the Jury which pro nounced the priest not guilty was , received in a similar manner, the court being rnablo to restrain the manifestations of satisfaction on the part of the spectators in the court room Yet the evidence was the sameJ at both trials. It has been an open secret that for a long time the civil service com missioners have been trying to stim ulate the district attorney in Wash ington up to the point of prosecut ing officers of the Old Dominion Re publican Club for attempting to raise campaign funds amonp; Government employees when Mahone was run ning for Governor last year. Proba bly the prosecuting officer, being a hold-over Democrat, did not deem it wise to rush into the prosecution of Republicans; at all events, there has been a tedious delay. But now war rants have been served against J. J. Verser, treasurer of the league, and an employee of the Government printing office, and C. A. Newton, president of the league. The com missioners, who have collected a lot of evidence, allege specific cases of soliciting and receiving contribu tions, and desire to have the courts set up Buch a sign post as will show the politicians that it is no longer safe to "work the departments" for either party. The huge Winter Palace at St Petersburg,, with the exception of the Vatican and Versailles, is the largest palace In the world intended for a residence, and though tasteless and rococo, has a certain grandeur from its immensity. Like all the Russian palaces, the Winter Palace is a mixture of splendor and shabbi ness, luxury and discomfort In go ing over It visitors see everything gorgeously adapted for state cere monials, but wonder how and where the imperial family can live. The whole of the splendid interior was consumed by fire in 1837, but was speedily restored. It Is said that not fewer than six thousand persons have frequently lived at one time in the Winter Palace. lows M Office; FINELY EQUIPPED , FOR ALL .-"KINDS OF WORK. , , r " 1 New Type, Fast Presses, Artistic Workmen.
