claimed at first that the umbrella belonged
to a "half brother" of his, but, when cor
nered, acknowledged that he was hard ware
drummer from Boston. He gave no exp ana
tion of his conduct When his identity was
proved, he was mercilessly chaffed by the
crowd that had gathered in the rotunda Of
the hotel. He could not have maintained
the imposture SO long had it not happened
that all of Mr.. Blaine's friends who were sent
