Inspectors Doyle and Howard yester-
day accomplished piece of detective
work that reflects credit not only upon
themselves but upon the police force.
Thursday night of last week four
men entered the house of Mrs.
Copely, widow residing at
Richfield. She was bound and gagged,
and her hired men intimidated, while
the house was searched for plunder of a
valuable and portable nature. Only
watch and revolver were secured,
Mrs. Copely refusing at the point of the
revolver. and under threats that the
bed to which she was bound would be
set on fire, to reveal the where
abOuts of her money. Yesterday
the detectives mentioned arrested Sam
Slighter and jim Murphy at Davidson's.

MISS PoTTER's BENEFIT.
All Seats Sold and a Great House
Assured.

The feature in theatrical circles is the
Miss Jennie O'Neil Potter benefit at the
Peoples theater Friday night. Miss
Potter makes her debut as an actress in
"Fanchon the Cricket" The lady is
one of the leading elocutionists in the
country, and possesses what is rare in
this class of professional people, the
art of impersonating her read
ings as real life. Many elocution-
lists are good readers, but
they can not act their part, Mrs. Potter
does both. and has the faculty of por-
traying living person of the character
she represents.
The lady has all the characteristics Of
soubrette. and as Fanchon will be the
wild, affectionate little cricket in real
ity. Not only is the little lady natural
actress, but she comes from theatrical
family. James O'Neil, the Dantes in
Monte Cristo," is her uncle. Mrs. Pot
ter, in her emotional parts, is able to
distinguish between ranting monotone
whine and pathOS.
The principal characters in the play
will be cast among the leading persons
of the Peoples company. Mr. Barbour
will represent Father Barbearie, Mr..
Brown appears as Landay, Mr.. Shaw,
Didier; Neil Scully, Mother Fadet, and
Miss Clifford as Martha Barbo. Tickets
are selling rapidly, and are on sale at
the theater.
The sale of seats has been very large
and the balcony has been reserved in
consequence. Another performance
may be given Saturday night.

BOARDING HOUSE BURNED.
The Residence OF Mrs. Carr De-

The boarding house owned and con-
Quoted by Mrs Anna Carr, widow, at
700 Hennepin avenue, caught fire at
1920 o'clock last evening from the
furnace in the basement. The building
is frame structure, and almost stimuli
taneously with the discovery the flames
burst through the roof. Thirty
five boarders, together with the
landlady and her help, had but few
minutes notice to escape, and only two
of the boarders succeeded in rescuing
their effects. The fire department
worked vigorously, and succeeded in
eXtinguishing and confning the flames
to the third story, although the two
lower stories were much damaged by
water. The house was built by Mrs. Carr
seven years ago, and cost S13,500. Her
furniture and effects probably amount
to $500 more, making the total value
about $4,000. Upon this she had an in
surance of $1,000. The loss will proba-
bly, reach $4,000, including the destruc-

one was injured, although a number of
narrow escapes occurred. Emil Kuype,
a boarder who was confined to his bed
with broken leg, was rescued by the

ODDS AND ENDS.

t A little incident, full of the pathos
and comicality of life, occurred in the
city last week, on the South side, and it
was principally brought about by the
advent of spring. This season of the
year is a great inducer, from some mys-
terious cause, to making people move,
and in consequence certain family,
comprised of four members, took it into
their head to change their location. Ex-
press wagons were sent for, the new
house rented, and transportation begun.
Now the man of the house
had got all his furniture on
time, but his wife did not
know this, and, as luck would have it,
an employe of the furniture store where
the goods came from, happened along
saw the moving-posed-stuck his fin
ger to his nose and smiled to himself,
employer to carry the news. The en-
plOyer post haste gathered his men and
wagons around and arriving ON the
scene of operations, commenced to
seize on everything he could lay his
hands to, including piano. Pande-
mOnium reigned and to crown all the
lady tainted away, and apparently went
into one spasm after the other. AT this
pleasant juncture doctors were sent for
and the first one coming. hearing the
c0mmOtiOn and learning its cause got
into his head the woman was shamming.
He demanded to be left alone with her
and proceeded to open her corsets when
he delicately tickled her with straw;
but this did not please her one bit and
he then insidiOuSly reached his hand
down and gave her a gentle jab with
pin beneath her knee, and the next
moment he did not know in the light
ming movements he was going through
whether he was an M. D., door mat
or broom. With one spring she struck
him, tossed him, heaved him, kicked
, him.till he was willing to cry for mercy,
and he has since been heard to remark
that it would be cold Minnesota day
when he sticks another woman with
pin. Meanwhile the husband returned,
explanations were made, bottles pro-
duced, and hilarious time brought this
little comedy to close.

One of the pictures that attracted
good deal of attention at the BradStreet
art reception ON Wednesday evening
was portrait in oils Of the mother OF
Mrs. DR.. French, of this city. 1t is the
work of Benjamin Eggleston, young
Minneapolitan not yet twenty-one years
of age. Few artists that have been in
this city can show piece of
work equaling this. The portrait is
acknowledged by all to be a splendid
likeness, the pose of the old lady is nat
ural and easy, the coloring is laid on in
manner to please the most fastidious,
and in every respect this picture prom
ises for young Eggleston bright ca
reer should opportunity and the chances
of art education broaden around him.

SUSPICIOUS OF HIS WIFE.
How Scapegrace Of Brother
Came Near Wrecking a WOman's

How Scapegrace Of a Brother
Came Near Wrecking a Woman's
Happiness.
That Warren Hamilton should be
little suspicious of his wife was not to
be wondered at. He was old enough to
be her father, though an attractive
looking man, but then he knew very
little about her past.
She had been married before to Seth
Arnold, miserable, drunken wretch,
who had made her miserable while he
lived, and had even raised his hands
against her. His miserable death
brought her happy release, and it was
not long after that she met Mr.. Hamil-
ton and married him.
Of late Evelyn's husband noticed that
she seemed to be strangely preOccupied,
and he could not persuade her to con-
fide her troubles in him. She tried to
laugh it off when he questioned her, but
her laugh was chilly and mirthless.
One day he kissed her gOOd-by on his
way to business, and with a PRESENT.
ment of coming evil told her he should
be late getting home that night.
All through the day some prescience
| kept urging him to cancel the important
engagement of the evening and return
home early. The impression was so
singular that he was constrained to
| obey it.
| OThere seemed to be some reason for it
when, On nearing home, he saw man
| crouching under the front parlor win
dow. He turned into narrow passage
| between two dwellings nearly opposite
and awaited developments.
| In few moments he heard low, pc
| culiar whistle that seemed to be sig
| nal. His heart beat faster than usual
when he saw the front door opened by
| Evelyn herself, the man walk up the
steps, enter, and close the door after
| him.
Hamilton entered the house soon
| afterward and managed to secrete him
| self behind the curtains of the room
where the two were talking.
81 tell you, Evelyn" the man was say
ing familiarly, you'll have to do better
than this. You must shell out s2OO
now, within few days, if you want to
you what Seth Arnold is. You see what
| he says in his letter. God help you if
you let him come over here. I'm sorry
enough he wasn't popped off in that
railroad accident. 1t seemed as if the
devil helped his own. The officers were
after him for that forgery. and would
have had him within twenty-four hours
if it hadn't seemed SO certain he was
killed. He's been skulking round two
years eluding the law. You might have
knocked me down with feather when
he made himself known to me in Lon
don that night and asked about you.
It's too bad; but if your husband is as
generous as you say. surely you can
wheedle him out of good round sum
without his feeling the wiser where it
goes"
Warren Hamilton heard every word
distinctly.
.Wheedle him out of it," Evelyn re-
peated. "Ask him to pay this price for
his peace! 1t is wretched matter to
patch up-to compromise. What ought
/ to do9 That is the question. How
can l meet my husband with this lie in
my heart. when he is SO noble and gen.

LONG JOHN WENTWORTH.
Why He Declined an Invitation to
Join a Church.

Boston Record.
All newspaper readers are more or
less familiar with the name of ''Long
John" Wentworth, that eccentric CO.
lossus who left his fathers farm up in
New Hampshire many years ago for
Chicago, into which he walked one
morning the pOssessOr of a stout heart
and three shlllings. How he saw Chi
cago's future, bought land, became rich,
was sent to congress, and stood the
central figure of Chicago life for years,
has all been read, but new story told
the Historian day or two ago ought to
be perpetuated in type.
''Long JOhn'is not pious man ;often-
times he would shock some good deacon
or mother in Israel into sOlicitOus hOr-
ror by his unsaintly expressions and
curious manner of living. Probably
more prayers have been sent up for Mr..
Wentworth than for any other man in
Chicago. But in spite of all this, he
used regularly to attend services at a
certain Baptist church, where he would
sit complacently under terrific denun
Citations of such as he from the lips Of
some iron-tongued orator.
One day the pastor of newly estab-
lished UniverSaliSt church came to the
sinner and said. in tones of sweet per-
suasions 'Mr. Wentworth, why don't
you come down and join our society?
We are very liberal. You know you
swear a little and drink some whisky,
but we won't trouble you about that.
AS it is now, you are insulted every
day by those Baptists. Come, now, join
u.s."
Long John," from his six feet seven.
looked fiercely down upon the venture
some parson, and shouted in his gruffest
voice: ''Why in thunder don't you ask
me for check, and be done with it?
Join your church, eh? Do you think
I'd be - fool enough to join a church
that would have me in it?''
