FREAKS OF A CRAZY MAN.
He WhOOps Things Up and Is
WhOOped in Turn.

WhOOped in Turn.
! From he Globe Democrat.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 3d.
Frank n. Collier, the Chicago lawyer
and politician who was slugged dur
ing the last municipal campaign in
that city, and whose mind has since
| been dersnged as a result OF his in
! lures, left this city tonight for his
home, after creating more than one
sensation. Collier, who was not long
ago released from all insane asy-
lum, visited Mr.. Fred Harvey, in
Leavenworth, last week. Friday
night he knocked mans hat Oft on
the street with his cane. The owner
of the hat proved to be detective
who, with the assistance of several
policemen, succeeded in running Col
lier in, after having first dubbed him
severely. He was locked up, but af-
terward bailed out. He came down
to Kansas City Saturday. At 7o'clock
this morning he rode up to the resi-
dence of his friend, Mr. w. J. Strong,
on horse. He spurred his steed up
on the front porch and rang the door
bell. Later in the day he met a drum
mer at the Midland hotel and bought
for Mr.. &. NJ. Hill, the proprietor OF
the hotel and an old friend, as many
more for Mr.. Strong, and half-dOzen
suits for another gentleman who is
stopping at the hotel. Mr.. Hill, whose
guest he was, countermanded the or
der for the goods.
This afternoon he passed the door
keeper at the Warder Grand Opera
House where the Hallen and Hart
Company was giving matinee per-
formance, and going behind the
scenes endeavOred to entertain some
of the female members of the com
pany. The husband OF one of them,
not knowing ofCollier's malady, drew
a revolver on him, and was with diff
ticulty prevented from shooting him.
Golfers friends placed him on the
Burlington train tonight and sent
HIM to Chicago. He is quite wealthy.
He cut figure in Chicago politics tor
several years, and was noted for the
determined way in which he bet on
President HarrisOn's election in the
pool rooms. He is said to have won
very handsome SUM on the result.

Hat CONEORMATIOR.

That Mr.. WOlfson keeps up with
the demands of the times is evidenced
by the fact that he has just purchased
for the use OF his customers an in
genious contrivance called a hat con-
formation by the use of which, in a
few moments hat can be made to
perfectly fit the shape of any head.
This little machine is so simple and
does it work so perfectly that any
one can operate it, and will result in
doing entirely away with the sending
off for hats to fit odd-shaped heads.
If you have any difficulty in finding
a hat to fit, 90 to WOlfsOn's and he
will guarantee fit in three minutes

MARIE HALTON RETURNS.
She Brings Back New Play, a Mar
veIIOus Hat, and a Singular
Gown,

]
From New York Sun.
Marie Halton, the pretty soubrette
of the Casino, who ran away to Lon
don last October with Diamond Brok-
er Joseph Lewis, came back yester-
day alone on the Teutonic with new
opera and wonderful MAJ ana stage
gown.
She put the hat OH as sne chatted
in her parlOr at the NendOme hotel
in the afternoon with Mr.. Charles
Barton and group of visitors.
She has grown plumper IN the face,
and the hat became her immensely.
The male visitors tried to unravel the
makeup of the hat, but had to give
the puzzle up. 1t is sort of broad
brimmed affair of very fine wire, the
brim of which is twisted into all kinds
of curious kinks and curves. The
wire Is woven in a fine network, so
that one can see right through it when
it is held up to the light. The hat
has no crown. 1t is trimmed with
rich black lace, and wreath of red
flowers and green leaves is twined
along one side of the queer brim
Miss Halton says that she bought
the hat with some of the $1,000 that
she won at Monte Carlo on her we'd
ding trip with Broker Lewis. She is
going to wear the hat in the second
act of new opera in which she is to
play on the Casino stage. Miss Hal
ton came back suddenly, under new
contract with Manager Aronson, to
take the soubrette role in the opera
which is by Chassalgue, the author
of LA Mexcana," but is not named
yet Miss HarltOn desc ribed the re-
gown that goes with the
hat. The waist is of red and the
dress of black silk, with flowers en-
broidered on velvet. A bizarre effect
is the blue uuderskirt. These are
shown when the actress dances the
gavotte, which is to be feature of
the opera. She will wear blue stockings
and black silk slippers. The actr ess
learned the dance in London.

Special Dispatch to the Globe Democrat.
PRINCETON, n. j., March 30.-At
$50 O'Clock yesterday the occupants
of the upper rooms in the Central no.
tel were aroused by the report of a
pistol. The owner of the house,
Thomas McCloskey, and several 9th
ers found man in bed with blood
flowing from his right temple. The
wounded man held a revolver in his
right hand. After a few minutes he
he recovered sufficient to speak.
He told them in German
that man had entered the
room, and rushing upon him while he
was asleep had caught him by che
throat. He grabbed his revolver,
which was under his pillow, and was
ant grabbed his hand and so twisted
it that the bullet entered his right
temple. The hair near the wound is
singed. DR.. Bergen could not find
the bullet. He says it went directly
into the head, and the man will in all
probability die. Intla ANIMATION set

andum book and two cards with the
name +. Bachelbrandt on each. In
the book was written in German,

ed with $50 paper, 81 gold"
On last Thursday he came to
Princeton and went to Mr.. Guen-
theirs shoe store, in WitherspoOn
street. He told Mrs. Guenther that
he had more than 500 marks on leav
Ing Germany; that he stopped at the
Hotel Luxembourg, in New York, be-
fore coming here, and that he was
going to his father in Colorado. He
is % years old and fairly intelligent.
He also asked for German people,
and was directed to McClOskey's
hotel. He went there and had supper
that evening, after which he asked
for the use of a room, which was given
him. Last night he and five others
played cards until late hour. He
says he had no liquor and did not play
for money; that he had a $40 gold
piece and some silver in his pocket
when he went to sleep. Not a
cent could be found in any
of his pockets. Mayer Cummings
took his ante-mOrtem statement |
In it he says he did not shoot himself, !
and he could identify his assailant if |
he saw him. The men who slept in

House when he intimated that if
the Finance Committee followed
the dictates of prudence they would
refuse Mr.. Thurston any opportu-

thought it not unlikely that the
result of fair inquiry would be
an adoption by the House of Mr..
Thurston's views, and a rejection
of those of the Finance Committee.

The Bowler Claims - Mr.. Thurston
Explains Why He Declined Pay
ment.
Mr.. EDITOR: 1 see by the papers that
Mr.. j. F. Bowler has petitioned the Legis-
lature to pay him
l. For building foundations
to electric light station. IS 2,047 90
2. For repairing Palace gates. 1000 90
s. For damages for failure
to carry out contract to
return certain South Sea
Islanders. observation-disclosures. Sc, 30 90
Making total of. $500. $4S ,322 90
The basis of the claims is that full
value was rendered to the Government
for these sums; that the orders to per-
form the services claimed for were
legally given by persons legally author
lied to bind the Government, and that
the ''late Minister of the Interior" had
illegally and unjustly refused to pay the
claims.
The claims Were very properly referred
to committee to investigate.
do not wish to charge the committee
with willful misrepresentation or sup
preston of evidence; on the contrary,
wish to expressly disclaim any such i'm
pdtation, as their failure TO correctly
report to the House may well have
arisen from a lack of knowledge of the
facts, and the lack of time to spare from
their duties in the House; but from
whatever cause it is no less true that
material facts concerning each and every
claim are either misstated, misrepre-
scented, or wholly lacking in the COM
mittee's report.
As the report of the committee is an
imputation that in my official capacity
unfairly and unjustly refused the pay
ment OF legal claims, and the facts
stated by the committee appear on their
face TO in measure sustain some OF
their conclusions, in justice to myself
and in defence of the taxpayers OF the
