] Louis MI" is native OF BunalO, n. \.
While very young boy he attended school in
Paris, but finished his education in New York,
attending the city college, from which, how
ever, no was not graduated. Possessing
decided taste for the stage ho went TO London,
where his father before him had been o mem
Der Of the Haymarket company. Avery fcw
years have developed him into ono Of the most
promising young actors Of whom England
boasts. Mr. Andrews Is agentleman Of culture
| and thorough, conscientious student Of the
stage.
! IL was announced In the REPUBLICAN, two
DAYS ago that Prof. Eugene Field the distin-
/ guished littoratour. art critic, aud singer,
| would 90 to New York on Monday morning.
/ People wero naturally astonished therefore to
sec the professors peculiar figure, now grown
familiar 10 all wnshinRtonians, moving slowly
and carefully along tho avenue yesterday.
| IL happened in this way Prof Field
prepared himself for tho journey and
started for the depot in ample timo
As IL was nno morning he sent
his valet In tho carriage with his luggage,
aud concluded to 60 down by himself on foot.
| At the corner Of Ninth street aud Ponnsyl-
vania avenue young man stepped up to him
with outstrotched hand, and said In q do
lighted tone: "why, how do you do, pro-
fessor; how are all the folks in Aurora"
There was perplexed look in tho pro-
fessor's face. The young man seemed
sorry that ho was not recognized. Ho said
in a slightly injured feelings way: "Why,
don't you know me- professor. | should
think you would but then its been somo
years since I met you, and I was only a
boy then. I am Luke Arnold, nephew OF
Matthew Arnold"
| A broad and cordial smile spread over Prof
| Fields face, aud he pressed tho young mans
hand warmly. Ho could not exactly remem-
Der that he had ever met any nephow of
! Matthew Arnold, but any relation Of that
distinguished gentleman, who had been his
most intimate friend for many years, was
sure Of n welcome from tho professor. The
young man said ho was going TO the depot TO
take the train for New York. This was an
other agreeable surprise, and tho two started
down the avenue arm.in-arm. They had not
walked q single block when a business
like young fellow stepped up to Matthew
Arnold's nephew, said he was an express
messenger, handed out n small box marked
&C. o. D." aud addressed to Mr.. Luke Ar
mold, and the charges were $3950. Mr.. Ar
mold was about to pay him, when he discov-
cred that he had but 81 in currency. He had
draft, however, for sl73. Tho express
messenger could not cash it, and Mr.. Arnold
suggested that the professor lend him tho
$3.50 and tsko the draft as security until
they could reach the depot, where his
brother would meet him with money and
repay the loan. The professor had $40,
and immediately turned it over. He was un-
willing to take the draft, but tho young man
insisted that no should. Tho express mes
senger went away, and a few minutes later
Mr.. Arnold excused himself for second to go
into cigar store for light. Prof. Field did
not see him again. He described the young
man afterward to detective as of medium
height and gentlemanly address, wearing a
black derby hat and light brown overcoat.
He had fair complexion and a blonde
mustache. The bogus express messenger
the professor could remember nothing
about 1t is an eternal disgrace to the
police of this city that an innocent, guileless
man like the professor should be brutslly
"buncoed" in this manner within the shadow
of the capitol domo.
Prof. Field tclegraphed to Aurora for
money. He explained to his scqusintAnces
here that he had postponed his journey to
New York because he had previously ne.
elected to visit the tomb of Washington.

Secretary Folger has lost caste with the
leaders of the woman suffrage movement,
and it is probable will come in for q
sound scolding at tho hands Of the ladiea
who banker for tho ballot. Miss Susan
b. Anthony called upon the secretary,
and after stating that there were among the
employees of his department a number Of
ladies and gentlemen who folt a
deep interest in the reform she
represented, she requested that all such
employees should be allowed to absent them
selves from their desks In order that they
might be present and take part in the pro-
ceedings of tho convention. Tho secretary
referred Miss Anthony to the provisions ol
law embraced in the act of March 8, 1883,
and declined to grant the request Miss
Anthony thinks If the convention had been
demonstration engineered by the horrid
men, there would be no difficulty in the clerks
; being allowed the privilege Of attending it.
