GRABBED BY SEAT OFPRlZrTROUSERS Merchant Prince of Oyster Bay Yanked Away From The President.

DEMANDS AN APOLOGY.

SAYS HE MUST HAVE SATISFACTION FROM BULLIES OR HE .WILL BRING 8UIT ECHO OF RECEPTION DAY.

Oyster Bay, Y., Sept. 18. Presl dent Roosevelt's reception to the vll

lagers yesterday nearly ended In a

riot, when a secret service man held . up Charles Karsman, the leading business man of Oyster Bay. Mr. Kursman, accompanied by two ladles, attempted to approach the president, who was receiving all comers. A secret service man grabbed Mr. Kursman by the seat of his prize trousers and told him that he would not be allowed to approach the president Mr. Kursman, as he tells the story, says: "I thought it a matter of precedence and I waited patiently. After every one else had shaken hands with the president I started forward again. One more I was stopped. The secret service man said that a complaint had been made against him. I demanded that I should be allowed to see the president, his secretary or the chief of the secret service." When Mr. Kursmaa was protesting, the women with him began to cry. The 200 spectators were quickly attracted to the scene. Finally James Stone, head of the secret service, came up. He recognised Mr. Kursman and called Secretary Loeb. The two conducted Mr. Kursman to the president who received the merchant cordially. Mr. Kursman is not only the leading merchant In Oyster Bay, but he is a member of the president's lodge of Masons. He is treasurer of the local fire company and treasurer of the local protective association. Demands an Apology. "I did not cause anything like the trouble I could have," Mr. Kursman says. "The matter is not ended, however. I was deliberately insulted in the presence of ladies by the president's bullies. I must have an apology,. or I will bring suit." Outside of this important feature the president's public reception was a success, unless the number of guests la' considered. The attendance was about one-tenth of what It was six years ago. The president had planned for 2,500 persons, but a scant 250 ascended Sagamore Hill to greet him. They looked' lonely as they scattered over the broad lawn'. All expected a speech, and they were not disappointed. In fact, they heard two speeches. One was by President Roosevelt the other was by Emile Albrecht, president of the Hlcksville Sangerbund. After conducting his chorus in a German song, .'Mr. Albrecht .congratulated the president In German. The president replied, briefly, expressing his appre- , elation.

A WAR inAucDY.

Pathstio Incident at the Siege of Pon ! Hudson. At the siege at Tort Hudson. Lc. there was ene gun commanded by A) phonso Dubreuil. ' lie was a young sugar planter who had opposed soces Blon, but mn'- ilned that If Louisiana seceded be would go with his state Dr. Chatrand. hi neighbor, was a vio lent secesslonUt. and Dubreuil and tindoctor's daughter Amelia were lovers Louisiana seceded. Alphonso raised a company and proved so brave a Con federate that the doctor, who had op posed his daughter's marriage, readily consented, and the pair were married. His bride was accorded special permission to go Into the bomb proofs of the fort, where in comparative safety she could be near her husband. There she saw him operating his enormous gun. but her heart was torn with fear for his safety. Suddenly she became excited by the noise of firing and. rushing out from her place of safety, was struck by a piece of shell and fell back lifeless. Dubreuil ran to her side, saw death In her face and went back bravely to his gun. The next morning was beautiful, and

the sun shone gloriously. There was cessation of hostilities that the dead might be baried. Thus engaged, a request came from the enemy to allow the body of a young lady to pass through our lines. It was granted. The lfttle cortege came, preceded by a military band playing a mournful dirge, and halted at the outpost The old musket box used as a bier was accompanied by two ladies and several officers. One of the latter, a handsome young fellow with long hair, walked calmly and slowly, but his face betrayed the greatest grief. A detail of Confederate privates acted as pallbearers. Our men uncovered their heads. All were blindfolded and led through our lines to the steamboat. They bade a last adieu to the dead bride and returned blindfolded. It was the saddest sight I ever saw.

MOSBY WAS TrfERE. ' A Cavalry Regiment Found Him, but Didn't Make a Capture. General John S. Mosby, the Confederate cavalryman, used to tell of A

lomlc Incident which happened In the

Shenandoah valley, in 1864. Near Millwood a regiment of cavalry halted one night and went Into camp. One of the men, who was hungry, slipped away and went off in the neighborhood to

get something to eat He rode up to a ;

cabin on a farm In the dark and cauea for the person inside to come out A negro woman, known at that time as an intelligent contraband, opened the door and asked him what he wanted. The Boldler wished to be assured of his safety before dismounting and while eating his supper, so he inquired of the oman if any one but herself was theie. She replied. "Yes; Mosby is here." "What!" said he in a whisper. "la Mosby here?" "Yes." she said; "he Is in the house." The soldier put spurs to his horse and dashed off to his company to carry the news. When he got there he informed the colonel that Mosby was in

a bouse not far away. The regiment was soon mounted and went at a fast trot, thinking they had Mosby in a trap. When they arrived at the negro woman's house the colonel ordered his men to surround It to prevent Mosby's escape, while he went in with a few to take him dead or alive. The woman again came to the door of the cabin. The colonel inquired. "Is Mosby here?" Sho innocently replied, "Yes," so he walked In. After the colonel got inside be looked round. But the woman seemed to be all alonecand utterly unconscious of having so important a person for a guest In a loud voice the colonel demanded, "Where is Mosby T" "'Ere he," answered the terrified negress, at the same time pointing to a cradle on the floor. The colonel looked Into the cradle and saw a little African pickaninny racking its paw. Youth's Companion. Accomplished. "There's no use talkin'." said Farmer Corntossel as he knocked the ashes out of his corncob and laid it on th mantelpiece, "there's something about a college education that does give a young feller polish." po you think that our boy Josh is improved?"

At a meeting of the magnates of the American Association held yesterday in Chicago It was announced that all plans of Invading the territory of the two major leagues had been abandoned. This change of policy is due to the fact that every club in the league with the exception of St Paul made money. Indianapolis, Louisville and Kansas City made killings. It is stated that the Indianapolis baseball club the past season cleared $75,000. Not bad for a minor league club. Cleveland by defeating Boston yesterday made It eleven victories out of the last thirteen games played. Ten of these victories were made off clubs which stood higher in the race than Cleveland did before the Naps started

their winning streak. In defeating the St. Louis Cardinals yesterday New York used fifteen players. McGraw was experimenting with some of his new material. Durham and Marquard have joined the Giants but McGraw states that he will not use either of them until he

has the pennant safely cinched. In Hoblitzel, the Reds appear to have picked up a find. He has' been hitting like a fiend ever since reporting and has played first base in a splendid style. Tim Jordan yesterday was instrumental in Brooklyn's defeat of the Reds by cracking out another home run. This was the eleventh four bagger the big fellow has smashed this season. There will probably be some crushed hopes strewn over the landscape after the close of the series the Giants will play with Chicago and Pittsburg on the Polo grounds. Belated sporting item N. Fleming, former demon twirler of the locals, ran the picket line of his creditors a few days ago, visited old friends and then quietly slipped back into the world again. He was disguised with a carbuncle on his face. Richmond fans are pulling hard for Cleveland to win the American league pennant. The game fight of the Naps, who have been crippled all season, has won for them sympathy.

" 'Yes. sir,' said Bill one night 'I faithfully promised my wife thirtyseven years ago never to take more than three drinks except on special occasions.

New York. Sept. IS. Fear that she might be compelled by her parents to marry a titled foreigner whom she disliked was the reason which Helen Maloney, daughter of wealthy Martin

Maloney, of Philadelphia, declared im

pelled her to go through the marriage

ceremony with Arthur Herbert Os

borne a young broker of this city. This information given by Miss Ma

loney under oath when she was being

examined by a referee in connection

with her application to have the pur

ported marriage annulled, was gleaned from papers in the case which were

filed in court after a formal decree finally annulling the marriage was granted by Justice Gerard in the supreme court Miss Maloney swore that the marriage never was regarded in a serious light, either by Osborne or herself; that she did not believe the contract a binding one inasmuch as the contracting parties did not give their right names, ages or names of their parents to the justice of the peace who per

formed the ceremony, and that the marriage never had been consummated. Osborne, in his answer opposing the application for annulment, also declared that no consummation of the marriage had ever taken place and neither of the contracting parties ever Intended that it should take place until after a marriage ceremony in a Roman Catholic church by a priest of that church. Miss Maloney now is free so far aa the laws of the United States are conyoung Englishman with whom she cerned, to marry Samuel Clarkson, a

eloped and went to England some time . ago. The authorities of the Roman Cathollo church of which Miss Maloney Is a member, however, although . they have been appealed to do so, hare not given Judgment on the question of whether or not the marriage with Oaborne shall be regarded as binding.
