HIRED AssAssINs CoNFEss.-The conduct
of two men excited the suspicion of Officer
Henry Lauffer in Newark, Ohio, Wednes
day night, and he took them in charge.
They were both foreigners and unable to
speak word of English. The officer, who
is German, addressed them in that lam
guace, and from one who was ALEC German
he learned that their names were John
Schmidt and VIM. Michalowsky. The lat
ter Is Bohemian, and appeared as though
be was haunted by the thought of some ter
rible crime. When questioned, he partially
admitted that he and his companion bad
been guilty of crimes, but seemed fearful OF
the consequences il he confessed. The ofi
Ger told him he would have no peace of
mind until he made known the trouble If q
wrong had been done. After considerable
hesitancy, the man Schmidt unbosomed
himself, and told the policeman that he and
his companion had two months ago been
hired to murder woman in the city OF New
York, and for doing the job had received
the sum of $50 She was widow by the
name of LAWN, and resided on Forty first
street, but what number they could not give.
The deed had been accomplished. ne said,
by the administration Of poison furnished
by the person employing them to do the
work. The name of this person was not
given. So impressed was the officer With
the truthfulness of the story that he detained
the supposed murderers and has telegraphed
to the authorities in New York to learn the
facts. The men will be held until word has
been received

Getting at Harrison.

The man who wants TO get special in
terview with President Harrison in his pri
vate office must have staying qualities. 1t is
not difficult 10 get an audience, but you
must wait your turn, and there is no telling
with certainty when that turn come. As far
as Harrison himself is concerned, there is
no red tape about getting 1T him within the
proper hours, but he can se5 Only 90 many ia
q given time, and each in the order OF his
coming. Senators and Representatives and
Cabinet ministers may walk into his private
Office unannounced, but when they get there
they must each take bis proper turn to have
bis say. all other callers must send in their
cards. They are received after the hour for
Congress has expired. Harrisous manner of
receiving visitors in his private Office is quite
his own His room is just off the large room
where the Cabinet sttings are held, COM
municating with it by small door in one
corner, and through it with the Office of
Private Secretary Halford. Through the
Cabinet room al callers must pasH to get to
the President, unless they are so highly dis
tipgushed as to be admitted through the
library. 1t is seldom that President Harri-
son receives one man alone in bis office.
standing around him waiting chance at
his ear while he is talking TO one. There is
not much chance Tor general conversation
and discussion of health or weather.
They must get right down to business, and
be quick about 1t. Yet Harrison has way
of making q man feel es if he has been es
pecisly we'll treated, and had not been hur-
rid OF all. He has way Of quickly getting
out of man what the man wants to
say, and is very quick to show his apprecia-
tion He stands usually just in front OF his
desk, which ia between the two windows
He shakes hands with the caller, snd If it
is man he knows we'll of, either personally
or by reputation he is apt 10 hold the hand
for a moment, giving the impression of one
in mood to be receptive of condolences,
such as Office seekers have 10 make. He is
already, II the caller makes move that way,
to retire to the recess Of window or else
where, out OF the eersbot of the others In the
room. Otherwise he stands still and listens
courteously. He has way of taking hold
of mans coat sleeve while listening to
him, and sometimes be will rest he other
hand on the speakers shoulder in the way
to give an impression of earnestness and
sympathy in what is being said. Garfield
had way when arguing the matter of
Offices, of throwing one arm around the
shoulders of the man--senator or member,
as it might be-with whom he was talking.
Harrison doesn't go quite this far, but when he
is trying to impress statesman with the
fact that he ia anxious to do the very best
he can, but must not be expected to do more,
