Several years ago, when Mckee Ran
kin was leading man IN the stock CON-
pany at the theatre IN Pttsburg, he was
visited every few days throughout the
entire season by long, lean man, who
looked like a typical countrynau. He
tried 10 induce MIN TO advance money
for the putting Of patent before the
public. The visitor only had one way
Of stating his case, and this ne religious
" did on an average Of three times a
week for thirty weeks. He would
lounge up TO Rankin, and after bidding
the actor good morning and chatting
for awhile would incidentally remark:
I've got a patent out Of which untold
wealth can be made-if only had about
$500 to get started. Now, Mac, I'll give
you half interest in II If you'll advance
the money"
The same speech was repeated so fire.
quently that il became a standing joke
in the company, and the young fellow
who gave utterance 10 1t was looked
upon as crank by one and all Other
people not members Of the company
Joined the actors in their estimate Of
the mental balance Of the inventor. The
season closed. Rankin came 70 New
York and his friend from Pittsburg was
forgotten until some years later when
The Danites" was in the flush Of its
success.
Rankin was playing the part Of Sandy
in Pittburg, when he received a call at
his hotel from one Of the milhonaires OF
the Smoky City. He was greatly sur

him, but d few moments conversation
put him straight. The visitor was

JUDGE vs.. JUDGE.

The arrival of Judge Museller yesterday
and the RESUMPTION OF his usual duties as
police Judge, somewhat complexities the
results Of the recent action Of the police
commissioners.
When Judge keenan, went into court
in the afternoon 70 take his seat he found
Judge Nuseller administering the affairs
OF the Office. The matter was referred 70
City Attorney Wilson who happened to be
present, but he positively refused TO ex-
press an opinion IN the case Judge kee-
nan then formerly protested and as Judge
NuseIler showed no inclination 20 with
draw from the position he retired 70 await
the further action OF the commissioners
In an interview Judge Museeller said
his position was such that ne felt called
upon TO act as he did He says that under
the law he should have been given thirty
days notice since a full board was not
present when his successor was appointed.
He did not propose TO stand on this, how
ever. and was willing 70 Telinquish
the Office if the commissioners desired Il
as soon a. his successor was qualified. In
the meantime according TO law and Gus
tom ne would have 10 hold over and he
was responsible for everything connected
with the Office. Since he was responsible
under his bond until his successor had
legally qualified he could not see that he
could pursue any other course. One Of
the amusing features in the case IS that
there are two toughs II the cooler, one
committed by Judge Keenan, yesterday
morning and the other by Judge Museller
in the afternoon. They say that both Of
them cannot have jurisdiction and intend
TO appeal The only way out of the
difficulty will be for both judges TO set in

DAMAGE SUIT.

\ suit for $4,000 damages has been filed
in the court Of common pleas wherein W.
J Wilson is plaintiff and Z. l. and J. B.
Fox are defendants. The suit grows out
Of an alleged breach Of contract and dates
back to the time when copartnership ex-
listed between all the parties to the suit.
The petition sets forth that the defendants
failed TO invest the capital stipulated in
the contract and that the business was
carried on on the capital of the plaintiff
alone Such a state OF affairs naturally
led to dissolution of partnership, and the
plaintiff claims interest on the money the
defendants should have invested and dam
age resulting from a forced dissolution Of
the firm by reason Of failure on the part Of
the defendants 70 keep their contract.

Legend Of the peath Of solomon.

There IS a legend concerning the death
of Solomon, alluded to in the Koran and
found in the chronicle Of Tabari, which
IS to the following effect: solomon en-
ployed the genii IN building the temple.
but perceiving that his end was nigh az
hand PRAYED God that his death might
be concealed from the genil until the
work was completed, for solomon knew
that if he died and the genii knew Of his
death they would leave off building.
Therefore he made himself a staff from
e tree in his garden, and leaning upon
this staff, with his head bowed IN adora-
ton, be died in the temple. His soul
was taken 50 gently from him that the
body remained standing, so remaining
for one whole year; those who saw him
thought he was absorbed n prayer, and
they dared not approach him
Still the geni worked night and day
until the temple was completed, thinking
that they were watched IN every detail
By the master whose eyes had many
weeks before closed in death. But dur
ing all this time little white ants had
been gnawing at the staff, and when the
temple was AT last finished, long year
after the death of Solomon, the staff
crumbIed under his weight and the body
fell TO the ground Mabomet aIludes 70
this curious legend IT the following (see
Koran. Sura, 11uv': When he (GOdJ
had decreed that Solomon should die,
nothing discovered death unto them che
gennl except the creeping thing q the
earth, which gnawed his stat, and when
his body fell down the genii plainly per
ceived that if they had known that which
IS secret thev would not have continued
