He also alluded to the Nov York city holders of Ice company shares. A stop of two minutes was made at Shobola.

At Long Kddy, where another stop of ten minutes was made, Governor Roosevelt said, referring to a campaign club which carried the American flag: "I have a right to appeal to those who carry the Mag. Mr. Hryan has said that It Is his purpose to haul down that flag In the Philippines." "Not yet," said some one in the crowd. "Not much." repeated the Governor, approvingly, catching the import of what was said, but not the words. "If he did that," continued the Governor, "he would not give liberty to the Filipinos any more than he woula give liberty to the Apaches in Arizona by hauling down the Mag there from the Apache reservation. You would give the Apache3 license to scalp people and you would give license to certain Malay bandits and halfbreeds to do far worse than that. These islands would be trampled into a bloody mud by these eighty-live warring tribes, and some other nation would step In and do the work we left, leaving us hinging our heads because we had played the part of the craven and the weakling. "You remember they told you," said the Governor, addressing a veteran of the civil war in the audience, "that you could not coerce a sovereign State, but you did. They told you that you could not establish the rule of the American Republic in the Southern States without the consent of the governed, but you did. and now the Southern States are glad of It, and so It will be in the Philippines." PROF. MTJLLER DYING. Well-KnoTvn Professor of Philology nt Oxford University. LONDON, Oct. 27.-Frcderick Max-Mul-Ier. corpus professor of comparative philology, Oxford, who has been sick for a long time, and who' recently suffered a relapse, was pronounced to be sinking fast to-day. Trof. Frederick Max-Muller Is a son of Wilhelm Müller, the German poet, and was born at Dessau, Dec. 6, 1S23. In 1S50 he took one of his Christian names as his surname. He was educated at the public schools of Dessau and Leipzig, attended lectures in the Universities of Leipzig and Rerlin and took his degree In 1S43. He became a close student of Arabic, Tersian, Sanskrit and comparative philology and philosophy, and in 1S14 published his first work, a translation of "The Hltopadesa." a collection of Sanskrit fables. He has filled many important literary' and lecture engagements in Germany, France and England. In December, 1S73, Prof. Max-Muller delivered in Westminster Abbey a lecture on "The Religions of the World." the only address ever delivered by a layman within the Abbey. He has published many essays on languages, upon which he is an eminent authority; also upon religion, mythology, antiquities; traditions and customs. At one period Prof. Max-Muller devoted hlmseJf to the teaching- of several Ruddhlst priests who had been sent to him from Japan to learn Sanskrit. This led him to the discovery that the oldest Sanskrit MSS. existed in Japan. With the help of these Japanese MSS. he published the Sanskrit originals of several Ruddhist texts, while one of his pupils, Mr. Runylu Nanjio. compiled a complete catalogue of the Ruddhlst Tripitaka, the sacred canon of the Buddhists in China and Japin. The professor, who has contributed numerous articles to various magazines and literary journals of England, America, Germany and France, is one of the eight foreign members of the Institute of France, one of the Knights of the Ordre pour le Merlte, one of the ten foreign members of the Reale Accademia del Lincei of Rome, and has received the honorary degree of doctor of laws and philosophy at Cambridge. Fdinburgh and Rologna. In ISsa he was elected first president of the Aryan section at the international congress of Orientalists, " held in Stockholm and Chrlstiania, and received the Northern Star (first class) from the King of Sweden. Prof. Max-Muller has lived In Fngland since 1S45, during all of which time he has been connected in one capacity or another with Oxford University. He is one of the most eminent of living scholars and a man of great personal charm. TESTDIONY OF EXPERTS. Evidence In Rebuttal of Ilonslyn Ferren Plea of Innnity. " MARYSVILLE. O., Oct. 27.-The taking of testimony in the trial of Rosslyn Ferren, charged with the murder of Express Messenger Lane, was completed late thl3 afternoon and court adjourned to Monday morning, when arguments will begin. The attorneys for the defense have concentrated their efforts to save Ferrell from the electrocution chair, and the only question with the jury will be the degree of the crime. The only evidence offered by the defense has been to show the defendant's good reputation previous to the crime and to support the rlea of insanity. The chief witnesses to-day were Dr. E. G. Carpenter, superintendent, and Dr. George Stockton, first assistant superintendent of the State hospital at Columbus, and Dr. F. D. Rain, of Kenton, and Dr. II. A. Rodebaugh, of this city, specialists in nervous diseases, called by the State to rebut the testimony of physicians Introduced by the State to show the probability of insanity manifesting itself in the olfsprlng of consanguinous marriages. All of the witnesses had examined the prisoner, but had not been able to discover any symptoms of insanity or mental weakness. They all agreed that physical defects In offspring were more likely to result from consanguinous marriages than mental defeats, and that such defects rarely resulted trtm unions of first cousins, as in the case of Fcrrell's parents. Dr. Stockton testified that he did not regard Ferreira crime in itseif as an evidence of Insanity. Persons of unsound mind, he said, very rarely attempted to conctal the evidences of a crime committed by them, as Ferrell had done. "Where Jennie Bosschletter Dlel. JCEAV YORK. Oct. 27.

LEADING THE WORLD

AMERICAN MANUFACTURERS ARE THE 3IOST ACTIVE OF ALL. V. J. Chalmers Teil "Why They Are Sacccmifally Competing with Rrltons and Other European. CARNEGIE'S MOTTO ADOPTED THIS COUNTRY NOW SUPPLYING GEll31 ANY WITH MACHINE TOOLS. Two Lnwsnits That Are Causing: Talk In English Society CirclesGeneral Foreign New. Correspondence of th Associated Press. LONDON, Oct. n.-Rumors that Colonel Glrouard. military director of railroads In South Africa, had placed large orders for rails and rolling stock in the United States caused no little commotion in London. Vv'hile the official denial of the War Department has allayed the more acute fears of the manufacturers, the broad question of American commercial competition in this newly acquired country is by no means disposed f. The Westminster Gazette voices many English papers when It says: "We are glad to have thl3 official contradiction. But British firms should not forget that the Cape government some time back made inquiries in America for a railway plant, failing to get delivery In time guaranteed by manufacturers in this country. It will be the fault not of the government, but of British firms themselves. If some day recourse is had to America for war material or railway plant. We hope the present ecare has done some good." There is probably no better authority on this interesting subject than W. J. Chalmers, of Chicago, who has just , completed an extensive tour of European manufacturing centers. The fact that his firm has plants botn in England and Chicago makes him especially qualified to discuss the matter impartially. "It is a delicate matter for mo," said Mr. Chalmers, "with a board of directors in England and In the United States to discuss the relative ability of the two countries in matters of commercial activity. Yet the fact remains that the United States is carrying off the great bulk of the trade not only in South Africa but in the foreign markets of the world. It is true wc have a large plant in England and from WW to 1.000 employes for the manufacture of mining machinery, while our Chicago shops employ an equal number. We are now engaged here and in Chicago in manufacturing some of the deepest mining machinery for South African mines, which have placed large orders. However, my observation in England and other rarts of Europe has not been confined to our own affairs. There is no dcubt the United States to-day is not only prepared to compete in the markets of the world, but is doing so successfully and will continue to do so until England and the rest of Europe are prepared to invest sufficient capital to make an Andrew Carnegie possible here. The beauty of Mr Carnegie and many other American manufacturers Is that they are pursuing a purely commercial policy, as contrasted with a stock-jobbing policy. The question in Mr. Carnegie's mind, and it is illustrative of scores of other American manufacturers. Is "what is the lowest price 1 can produce a certain article for and what price can I obtain for it. Thus, in the dullest times, they are preparing for good times, and when tho industrial harvest time comes the United States is prepared to sell steel, coal, steel plates, electrical and mining machinery and machine tools lower than the rest of the world. The English steel manufacturers now proclaim the fact that if steel comes down to $22 a ton she will make it at a loss. The United States is making steel at $22 a ton and selling It at a profit. I was at a great tool works in Berlin the other day, where all the machine tools came from tho United States. They had just put up a new steel constructed foundry, CCO by 120 feet, all tho material for which was sent to Berlin from the United States, within ninety days from the date of the contract, as against six months, the quickest European bid, and at 33 per cent, .less cost. In every shop in Germany ninetenths of the machine tools used wero made In the United States. "Mr. Guggenheim, of New York, is leaving England to-night for Buenos Ayres to see if it is possible that smelting furnaces may be constructed, there, whereby native ores may be used at less price than they are now using- Bolivian ores, which they are transporting all the way to Pueblo, Col., where they are smelting and sending them to Europe .at .a profit. What the result of all this may be no one may foretell, but it seems to me that the United States is bound to sell the world its manufactured products in all the leading industrial commodities." . ARISTOCRATIC LAWSUITS. Two Actions Which Will Stir High English Society Circles. LONDON, Oct. 27. Lady William Beresford (formerly Lillian Duchess of Marlborough), has brought action against the young Duke of Marlborough to recover the money which she spent in improving Blenheim palace during the life of the last duke. The matter came up originally when the present duke succeeded to the title, but owing to the friendly relations existing between the duke and his stepmother it was temporarily arranged. Since the duke's marriage to Consuelo Vanderbilt, it Is reported, an estrangement has grown up between LaJy Beresford and her stepson. On; more than one occasion, it Is said, the young American duchess snubbed her country woman (Lady Beresford was formerly Mrs. Louis Hammersley, of New York), until the latter determined she could not submit to such treatment any longer and she now asks the law to compel her stepson to return the amounts she spent on Rlcnhelm. Another aristocratic lawsuit which will shortly be heard in camera is the application of the Marchioness of Anglesey to have her marriage to the marquis, who is head of the Paget family, declared null. They only became man and wife in 1S9S, but it was strictly a marriage of convenience between cousins arranged for the sake of inheriting property which otherwise could not havo been touched by either of them. They both agreed to live their own lives. Apparently, this extraordinary arrangement did not work well in more ways than one. It Is asserted that the marquis agreed to give his wife 5,000 the first yaar and 6.000 the second year and so on, until the allowance reached 10,000 a year. However, the alleged allowance was stopped almost immediately. Lady Anglesey, who describes herself "Otherwise Chetwynd," her maiden name, now wishes to get out of the bargain, and. it is rumored. If successful, she will marry Count Herman Von Hatzfelds CHURCH MATTERS IX ENGLAND. Resignation of n Bishop Morality of the Starce Under Discussion. LONDON. Oct. 23. Church matters are attracting no little Interest. The resignation of the bishop of Exeter, the RL Rev. Edward Henry Rickerseth, has given Lord Salisbury the chance to add one more to the long list of bishops of his creation, an opportunity which the Kensitites (untlrltualists) have improved by memorializing the premier to apolnt a low church man who will protect the Protestant Interest better than the former bishop. Within a few days final steps v.iil be taken to amalgamate the two great Scotch churches, the Free Church and the United Presbyterian, under the name of the United Free Church of Scotland, which will accomplish a greater breaking down of religious barriers and divisions than tho century has witnessed. Tho old question of the morality of th itc-3 13 cr.rj rr.cre discussed by tksXrr'i

bishops and clergy. This time it Is the Rochester Diocesan Conference, where several clergymen urged a sweeping crusade against the Immorality, of English plays and actors. Canon Jelf, well known here, declared It was a dreadful thing to see a Christian man taking the part of a murderer and a Christian woman playing the role of a harlot, now so common in the London theaters. The bishops ot Rochester and Southwark, however, persuaded a modification of the resolutions, the bishop of Rochester telling the clergy they would be ashamed to utter such statements before one delicate, refined lady, who was a friend of his, in the profession. It was then agreed that stage authors, managers and artists merely required the watchful attention of churchmen. Curiously enough, the last new play, "Mr. and Mrs. Daventry," produced at the Royalty Theater Thursday, has received scathing criticism on all sides for its indecency, which was not redeemed by the faintest trace of originality or cleverness, though the acting of Mrs. Patrick Campbell, who has assumed the leading role, is universally praised. This latest exposition of "the sins of society" is written by Frank Harris. THE DEATH OF SIMS REEVES.

His Wife Was Singing When the New Reached Her. LONDON, Oct. 27. The death of Sim3 Reeves on Thursday last, at Worthing, removes an Idol of the British people, who for thirty years eclipsed any prima donna of these days. Lengthy obituaries and reminiscences of the famous tenor appear on all sides. But a pathetic feature connected with his death has quite escaped attention. Reeves caught a chill a few days ago and it developed into bronchitis. But his condition was so improved on Thursday morning that he was not believed to be in danger. Mrs. Reeves, who is many years younger than the deceased tenor, to whom she was married in 1S93, after the death of his first wife, left her husband in a modest home in Worthing to sing in London for the benefit of the survivors of Balaclava. Just as Mrs. Reeves commenced singing "Kathleen Mavourncen" a telegram was received at the theater announcing the death of Sims Reeves. When the song was finished and the applause was at its height the news of her husband's death was broken to Mrs. Reeves, but the audience, ignorant of this behind-the-scenes tragedy, kept on demanding encore. The widow was removed from the theater on the verge of collapse. Dickens's House Demolished. 'LONDON, Oct. 27. That the memory of Charles Dickens is not guarded very jealously is clearly evidenced by the fact that in Tayisttocks square, where the novelist lived nine years, entertained the celebrities of the day and wrote "Bleak House" and other works, is now in course of demolition, and that in a few days nothing will be left ot it. The removal of this landmark, visited by so many thousands of Americans, is due to the Duke of Bedford's desire to erect on the site buildings which produce more revenue. Touching upon houses with history, it is said once more that the Duchess of Marlborough's most cherished dream Is to purchase Marlborough House, now occupied by the Prince of Wales, but which once belonged to the Churchills. As the story goes, the young American duchess would be pleased if the Prince of Wales would sell the property, and even when told that the house was crown property she did not give up hepo of eventually securing it. No Plot Against M. Loabet. PARIS. Oct. 27. The Nouveleste de Lyons printed a story to the effect that a plot existed to assassinate President Loubet. It said that a working electrician named Coutuier burglarized and entered the electric company's premises at Nymes, stealing 2,500 francs. He was tracked to Orange, near Lyons, where he was arrested. Documents on his person revealed, the paper said, an Anarchist conspiracy to assassinate President Loubet on his coming visit to Lyons to unveil a monument erected to the memory of President Carnot. Coutuier is said to have committed the burglary in order to carry out hi-s project. The officials of the prefecture of police to-day investigated the story and found it to be without foundation. Coutuier, they said, is a vulgar thief hungering for notoriety. The prefect officials also declare that the story of tho arrest of Sipido. who. attempted to assassinate the Prince of Wales in Brussels April 4 last, ir Paris is.-untrue. Asrcd Editor Retires. LONDON, Oct. 27. The retirement of Mr. Norman MacColl, M. A., Jan. 1, from the editorship of the Athenaeum marks the completion of the longest editorship on1 record in England. For thirty-one years he has controlled this academic journal, beating Dclanes's service on the Times, and he has probably had more to do with the formation of the higher literary standards than any man in England. He was a close friend of Carlyle, Dickens, Tennyson. Browning, Ruskin and Darwin, and. in later years, of Swinburn, Henly, Kipling and Wetmore. and, to quote the Outlook, he knows perhaps more than any man living of books and their authors. Cable Notes. William Waldorf Astor ha3 given 10,000 to the Cambridge University benefaction fund. The British steamboat Perseverance, plying between Hong-Kong and Macao, has been boarded by pirates and robbed of $19,000 in specie. The bill enabling New South Wales to join with the other colonies of Great Britain in the construction of the Pacific cable has passed all stages without opposition. Prince Christian, of Schleswig-Holstein, is in Berlin as the guest of the British ambassador. Sir Frank C. Lascelles, and the Duke and Duchess Ernest Guenther, of Schleswig-Holstein. The prince's purpose is to affect the divorce of his daughter, the Princess Louise Augusta, from her husband. Prince Aribert of Anhalt. The Princess of Anhalt Is now in America. THE FASHION IN QUILTS. Women Mnst Have Them In Resigns to Match the Tone of Their Rooms. New York Times. Women nowadays not only musL have the chintz furnitur coverings, the window tiraperies and tho painted furniture of their bedrooms match in floral design the flowered paper on the walls, but they make the comfortables and wool quilts match as well. When late in the fall a woman is seen en route to the shop with a bit of wall paper in her hand it Is pretty certain that she Is going after a gay comfortable, or, perhaps, half a dozen of them. Down or wool quilts form the prettiest, as well as the most serviceable furnishings of a comfortably arranged sleeping room. The wool quilts, which come in all the pretty shades of plain colored silks, and in all the desirable flower patterns, are taking the placa of the down to a great extent. "I have a dozen down quilts packed away," said a wealthy woman the other day. "and I am getting a supply of wool quilts to take their place. The down is altogether too warm in a well-heated house, and I can't use them." The wool quilt has all the advantages of the down, with the additional one, if one looks upon it from that standpoint, that they are a little cheaper. They are lined with a fine quality of Shetland wool, are soft and fleecy, covered with the prettiest of silks end satins, and they make an ideal bed covering. All the flowers are to be found In the designs. Some of them also have the Japanese up-and-down effect that is so attractive. It is these floral designs that are bought to match pretty chintz wall papers, or the quilts in only one color are purchased blue for a blue room, pink for a pink room, etc. The popular line of wool quilts with the flowered silk covers cost $13, and the prices range upward to $24 or even more for some of the finer ones. The finest covers are, as a rule, to be found on the down quilts. A blue satin one, for instance, has the whole center covered with a handsome pquare of white lace and a border of the lace around the edge. A quilt like this costs $10. Rlankets ein be found now that are nearly as light and soft as the down on wool q'uilts. The best of these are the French blankets, .thick and soft, which have the warmth of two ordinary blankets. They do not come in pairs, and each blanket is bound at both ends with a wide satin binding. There sell for from 510 to $1S apiece. A new lot of blankets just opened for the fall are the French camping blankets. These come In dark colors, in browns and mixed blues, are sold singly for 516. and are too warm for, anything but the hunting camp.

CALLS Hill A COWARD

MINISTER CONGER PREFERS CHARGES AGAINST CAPTAIN HALL. Officer Who Was Second in Command of Marines Daring the Lone Siege In Peklncr. CHAFFEE VINDICATES HAIL RUT THE MARINE CORPS OFFICERS WILL MAKE INVESTIGATION. Confirmation of the Report that the Fanatical Governor of Shan-Si, China, Toole Ills Own Life. WASHINGTON, Oct. 27. Minister Conger ras preferred charges of cowardice against Captain Newt T. Hall. IT. S. M. C, the second in command of the marine force at Feklng during the siege. The details are closely guarded, the regulations of the War and Navy departments strictly forbidding publicity at this stage. It is gathered that Mr. Conger questioned Captain Hall's courage because of the latter's declination to carry out certain military operations suggested by the minister. The charges In the ordinary course passed into the hands of General Chaffee, the commander-in-chief 4 of the forces In China, who examined them, made an inquiry on his own account and then, concluding that the whole matter rested on tho difference of judgment between the minister and the captain, sent the papers to Washington, with a recommendation that no further proceedings be" had, a finding vindicating the captain. From the War Department the papers went to the Navy Department, and after some consideration it was determined that the high morals of the Marine Corps required the most formal and complete acquittal of an accused officer from such a charge, in order that he might not in years suffer from its repetition. Consequently, tho papers were referred to General Heywood, the commandant of marines, who is taking s,teps to have a thorough Investigation by a proper court. It happens that the only report of the conduct of the marines at Teking to reach the department was from Captain Hall, the senior officer, Captain Miles being still too ill to report A general order by General ChafiTee has been made public at the War Department. It is dated "Headquarters China relief expedition, Peking, Sept. 9," and reads: 'The following letter from Hon. E. II. Conger, United States minister, expressing joy and gratitude for timely succor of the legation, emphasizes the Importance of the duty imposed on the troops sent for the relief of our besieged countrymen, and this order will be read at evening parade on the day following its reception: " 'Legation of the United States of America, Peking, Sept. 7.-From the moment of the arrival of the allied relief column we have all tried personally to express our joy and gratitude for j-our timely coming. I am not satisfied, however, with this mere verbal acknowledgment. The patriotic purpose with which you hurried more than half around the world, the heroic courage displayed and the tremendous sacrifices made in your victorious march from TienTsln to Peking deserve a more fervent expression of our sincere appreciation and profound gratitude than can ever be given. But, dear general, I beg you. on behalf of all whom you saved, to accept for yourself, and to extend in large measure to the brave men who came with you, the sincerest thanks that grateful hearts can feel. We deeply deplore the loss of the splendid heroes who died that we might live, and our tenderest sympathies go out to the bleeding hearts never to be solaced by their return. We pray God to comfort them and to reward and bless you, one and all.'" From an independent source Secretary Hay has received confirmatory evidence of "the reported suicide of Yu Hsiang, the fanatical governor of the province of ShanSi, whose punishment was demanded by the powers for the massacre of a large number of missionaries. This message came from Special Commissioner Rockhill, under date of Shanghai, Oct. 22. It is regarded as probable by the State Department officials that Mr. Rockhlll was unacquainted with the fact that the Chinese government itself had communicated Information to this effect to the powers before he sent his message, so that, coming from another point than Peking, whence the Chinese report emanated, Mr. Rockhlll's advice Is regarded as strongly corroborative. A dispatch has been received from Minister Conger disproving the stories of ths reactionary tendencies of the imperial government. The State Department had received reports from various sources in China, and notably from Canton, through its agent there, to the effect that the imperial government had ordered the removal from office of the viceroys from the great Yang-Tse province of Nan-King and HangKow because of their pro-foreign sentiments.

THE BÜTTERICK PUBLISHING or arre.t. Chief of Detectives Colleran said to-day that he had ascertained positively that the names given by the arrested men were fictitious, but that he had not yet been able to learn their true names. Captain Colleran further said that he had reason to believe that the plot was of much larger proportions than at first supposed. He is awaiting advices from the East. MR. JONES'S FLAG DAY. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) was slow, and at times the congestion of the crowd caused it to stop altogether. Seizing these opportunities the people pressed close to the sides of the carriage and forced Mr. Stevenson to shake thflr hand3. He seemed greatly pleased with the demonstration. Mr. Stevenson's speeches at the different stands, half a dozen In number, were necessarily very brief, and probably were not heard by any part of his audience more" than twenty feet away, on account of the shouting, blowing of horns, constant surging to and fro and the general disorder incident to a large open-air gathering. Prob ably the largest crowd that he addressed' was around the stand erected between Madison and Monroe streets. At Madison street State etreet becomes narrower, and this caused great congestion, the people pouring in from the broad part of the street to surround the stand from which Mr. Stevenson spoke. The police had to fight their way through, and it was some time before Mr. Stevenson could be escorted from the carriage to the Htand. From this point he faced a solid, struggling, enthusiastic mass of humanity, stretching from Monroe to Madison. The people were so eager to get within hearing distance that the police could do nothing with them. The Jam was terrific. Women screamed and tainted, and at last the confusion became so great that Mr. Stevenson desisted, and, regaining his carriage with great difficulty, was driven to the next speaking place. More or less confusion and disorder characterized all the meetings, but at none of them was there anj-thlng like a hostile demonstration and never any abatement of enthusiasm wherever Mr. Stevenson appeared. The crowd surrounding the stand at Van Buren street, although very dense, was ono of the most orderly addressed by the former Vice President. To them Mr. Stevenson said: "I trust that no Democrat will endeavor to restrain his enthusiasm to-night. This Is a DemocraUc day. Democrats have a right to cheer; they have a right to be happy; because this magnificent assemblage to-night of half a million Democrats is a harbinger of victory in November. The Democratic party to-day, as In all the past, stands for liberty. In Kansas City the Democratic convention declared its sympathy for the Boers In their struggle for independence. When that resolution was presented there was no attempt to smother it, but each delegate gave It his approval and the representatives of Democracy but voiced the sentiments of all Democrats all over this country. For the great contest in which we are engaged today the Democratic convention adopted as Its platform the Declaration of Independence, written by the first Democratic Presluent of tho United States. It Is upon that grand platform that we go into this contest, and if Democrats do their duty the principles of the Declaration of Independence will prevail at the ballot ox under the leadership of William Jennings Ilryan." It was well along toward midnight when the big mass meeting, or collection of mass meetings came to an end. The only untoward incident was an explosion of fireworks among- the crowd at the Van Buren street end of the court of honor. The explosion caused a stampede and a numbt-r of people were trampled upon and ?!Ight!y burned, but apparently no person was seriously injured. Bit AXXI GAS'S" PERFORMANCE.

BELMSATO

CO., 7 to 17 West 13th St, New Tcrk was riding home and the motorman stopped the car so suddenly that I bounced out of my seat and landed in an old lady's lap. Of course, everybody rushed to the front to seo what was wrong, and there on the tracks, not ten feet away, was what appeared to be either a drunken mn or a corpse. The motorman was pale as a ghost and shaking like a leaf, and in the general excitement some boys appeared and dragged away the body. One of them said it was Mr. Brannigan, and that he was 'on one of his periodicals but I had r.oticed some straw protruding from his abdomen, and. as the saying goes, 'Humbled to the racket. However, 1 held my tonguo and awaited developments, and I didn't have Ions to wait. The following evening my next door neighbor, who Is a very dignified not to say dohidous old gentleman. went by the house on a dead gallop, bellowing 'Police!' at every Jump. I overhauled him, and ho said when he turned the corner above he had run square into a gigantio highwayman, armed to the teeth. The miscreant mad a swipe at him with a bludgeon, and he barely escaped with his life. From certain points In the description I'immediately recognized Mr. Brannigan as the guilty wretch, and my opinion was shortly confirmed by thj appearance of numerous unchins. all snickering violently and "peeking' around the fence. Since then Mr. Brannigan has kept the neighborhood in more or less of an uproar. He was discovered crouching on tho roof of a porch, and four policemen spent an hour getting him surrounded. He scared a fat negro cook into canlptlon fits by leahing against a back door and falling Into her arms when it was opened. He was the mysterious burglar discovered In a shade tree In tho next block, and he has played star rolv in a dozen other scares of varying magnitude. Strange to say he has always been spirited away In the confusion and Is tili at large. What he will do next Is hard to predict; but if you hear 'any rumors about a wild man in our part of town Just remember what I told you. You' can put it down that Brannigan Is on the rampage."
