A CHECK AT REVOLVER's POINT.
The Unsuccessful Efforts of a Desperate
Man to Obtain 81, 900.

W. s. Tyler, president of the Tyler Wire
Works, had an exciting counter with des-
perate man in Cleveland yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Tyler was in his barn near the works when
Jas. F. O'Day, foreman in the works, entered.
and, pointing revolver at him, ordered Tyler
to draw up check for 81, 900 payable to O'Day.
Tyler at first protested, but seeing that it
was useless he went into the Office, CLOSELY fol-
lowed by O'Day. The latter stood, revolver in
hand, while Tyler's secretary filed out the
check and it was signed.
Then O'Day insisted that the secretary 90
with him to the bank to identify him. The two
left the works together. Tyler notified the
police and two officers we're at the Mercantile
National Bank when O'Day presented the
check. They placed him under arrest and be
was charged with assault with intent TO rob.

WEST POINT GRADUATES.
Gen. Sherman's Talk to the Military
Cadets.

The exercises at West Point yesterday were
all held In the open air. On the platform at
the left of Superintendent Wilson. the presid-
ing officer, sat Secretary of War Proctor, Gen.
Sherman, Gen. Hawley, Rev. Edward Everett
Hale. Congressman Cummings. Col. Chilly,
Gen. Grub, Senator Gray and other members
OF the board OF visitors and OH the right were
Chaplain Postlethwaite, clad in his ministerial
robes; AdJt Brown, Maj. Hawkins, Prof
Niche, Prof Bass and other members of the
academic board and military staff. Behind
them were the wives and daughters of the
official visitors and ladies of the post.
The audience arose as the chaplain invoked
DIVINE blessing and the band played the dox-
ology. The Rev. Edward Everett Hale then
addressed the graduates in behalf of the board
OF visitors. His remarks were brief and inter-
spersed with anecdotes Secretary of War
Proctor said few pleasant words. There was
no doubt, he said, of their record in time of
war. He asked them to do their duty as faith
fully IN time of peace. The Secretary then de-
hvered the diplomas to the graduates, the
names beng called by Col Wilson.
When Gen. Sherman was introduced at a
signal from Mr.. Hale the cadets rose and
cheered the old hero. He said he would have
to first apologize to the commanding officer
for appearing in this civilian dress-but tell
you, young men, you will be glad to follow nv
example after you have served fifty years. as /
will have done today At this announcement
the auilenc" set up a mighty shout of con-
graduation on his semi-centennial.
Il have seen fifty such classes as this leave
here, said Gen. Sherman. / am pleased to
see such large audience today. Times have
changed since fifty years ago. NY memory
goes back to the day of my graduation. We
wore the same white pants. just the same coat,
the same belts, and your caps are only little
different from ours. The appearance of the
corps of cadets has remained almost the same
since the organization Of the ,ademy in 1918.
Fifty years ago we lid not have at our gradu-
alton audiences like those you have now When
our studies here were ended We used 10 90
away like a parcel of Arabs and our commits
sions were sent after u.s."
The corps then marched back to the bar
racks, the order of the day was read and the
cadets were dismissed.

Mary Anderson's Wedding.

Although the papers announced the Mary
Anderson marriage for the 18th instant it looks
doubtful whether it will occur ON that day. Miss
Anderson left London on Saturday last for the
continent and is reported to have avowed her
intention of postponing the ceremony until
autumn. Inquiries at the Brompton Oratory
give no confirmation of the statement that the
wedding will occur there Tuesday. Last week
Miss Andersons entire costly theatrical ward
robe was disposed of at private sale.

Too Near the White House.

10 the Editor OF THE EVENING STAR;
Is there possibility of correcting the error
which the Marine Band is now making at the
Saturday concerts at the White House? The
band is situated much nearer the White House.
thus preventing the music from sounding as it
did formerly. when the band was nearer the
center of the grounds. 1t is impossible for the
people that are unable to get near the band to
get the full benefit of the music If this error
can be remedied | am sure that great number
OF the lovers Of music will feel very thankful.

Big Hail Stones in Montgomery County

About 8 O'Clock yesterday afternoon the
country around Olney and Sandy Springs. in
Montgomery county. Nd, had the somewhat
unusual experience Of heavy hail storm. The
Icy pebbles were very large, some being the
size Of hen eggs, but, as there was almost no
WIND at the time, comparatively little damage
was done. Some poultry was killed and trees
and grain bruised or crushed. but no serious
results are reported. Farmers gathered up the
crystals in buckets and used them for ice on
their garden truck in driving to market this
morning. A schooner full of these mementoes
OF the glacial period was brought to The STAR
ONCE at noon today and they retained for sew
eral hours their crystalline beauty.
