ONE OF INGALLS, CAPERs.
How He Raised Laugh at the Expense OF
Senator Allison.

How He Raised Laugh at the Expense Of
Senator Allison.
New York Press.1
heard story yesterday OF an episode
which occurred at banquet in Washington
three or four years ago, in which Senator
Ingalls, played curious part The dinner
was given by W. j. Arkel1 to Bernhard
Gillian, the carieaturist. to enable the latter
to meet the public men of the day and to
give them personal acquaintance with the
artist. Fifty or sixty of the leading men Of
both parties were at the table.
Among others were Senators Allison and
Ingalls,. The latter had been peculiarly
facetious and full Of repartee, being espe-
cially sarcastic in referring to numerous of
his fellow Senators and their Presidential as
pirations. Senator Allison had set out to
make an impression on the guest of the
evening and was talking earnestly with Gill
lam on some public topic on which he was
displaying his profound knowledge, when
Senator Ingalls, slipped behind his chair and
with his mouth gave an exceedingly clever
imitation of the buzzing of a bee, marking
with his long finger a circle back and forth
around AllisOn's head, in a manner to indi-
cate that it was the Presidential bee that was
besetting the Iowa statesman.
When the whole table had been attracted
to his antics Ingalls, called out: ''It will
never sting you, Allison, but keep right on
hoping" am told that the shout of laugh
ter which went up was Joined in by the vic
tim OF the joke as heartily as by his fellow
bauqueters.

AMERICAN PLUMBERS NEEDED.
Defective Bath Arrangements of KaIse

Defective Bath Arrangements of Kaiser
wiIhelm's Potsdam Palace.
During the summer, when the Imperial
family are at the seaside, says Berlin cor
respondent of The DISPATCH, the heating
and ventilation apparatus OF the new palace
in Potsdam will be thoroughly overhauled
this time by American plumbers, who are
expected to at last make the place habitable,
a thing their German colleagues failed to
succeed in doing. In this connection, am
told of a funny incident which happened at
the last visit of the King of the Belgians to
the Potsdam residence of the Kaiser. King
Leopold's Court Marshal, previous to under
taking the journey, had informed the
authorities in P0tsdam that His Majesty
was accustomed to take warm bath every
morning. The official also intimated that
tine German custom of having a red-hot
stove at the side of the tub supplying the
warm water was not at all to His Majesty's
taste.
Here was a pretty state of thingsl The
hot-water arrangements made by the Ger
man plumbers would not work, so it was de-
eided at last to arrange a combination of gas
Jets under the royal bath tub. However,
the gas Jets were hidden from the royal eye,
and His Majesty, who did not know much OF
the arrangements, tumbled into his bath.
The sovereign of the Kongo State had no
sooner seated himself upon this new tangled
roaster-whieh, by the time he had settled
himself down to his ablution had become
about as hot as grill or frying pan over
strong fre-than he bounded from his bath
with a blood-curdling yell that re-echoed
through the palace.
HE MoiaSfu Of bis Sfo1
in Potsdam could not be induced to take
chair at the dining table, but took all his
meals off the mantel piece, Ia giraffe.

A CLOCK FOR RAILROADS,

1t Hangs Out Colored Lights That Win Help
Prevent Collisions.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.l
A new clock has been invented by rail-
road man that promises to be great advant-
age to locomotive engineers. The dial-plate
and figures are large. and so are the hour
and minute hands. As train whirls by a
station the hour and minute hands whirl
around like a flash to mark the correct
time, and red bulls eye flashes into the
dial. Five minutes later the red light turns
green, and in five minutes more the green
light disappears.
The engineer on the next train following
can tell exactly how many minutes ahead is
the train that precedes him. The clock is a
perfect timekeeper, and when the train passes
drops the signal light.

Monday night showed. That was virtually his
first appearance and it is almost certain that
he would soon "lose his head; indeed, YEN
ture TO say that the first hard thump he re-
ceiyed would send all 'the points" he had been
taught out of his head. This only proves that
he needs experience, and I don't hesitate to
say that with due amount OF experience Far
reH will be much better man than
his efforts of Monday night would in
dicate. But no true friend of Farrell
will ever try to persuade him that he
will ever be anything like first class. To try
and persuade him this would be an injury to
him. In old-time fighting he might have been
good man, when SO much depended on the
art of stopping with one hand and striking at
the same time with the other. And even now,
If Farrell had that art down fine enough. he
would do well, but he has not been designed to
be champion boxer or pugflist. His efforts
against Daily prove this beyond doubt. Still
it seems to me that. with proper care. Farrell
ought to make great contest against man
like DAILY.
Affairs In General.
Once more the announcement is made that
Charley Mitchell and F. P. Slavin are booked
to leave England for this country. According
to report, they are to leave Liverpool next
week. If the report is true, il is easy to under
stand that they are intending to be present at
the Jackson-Corbett battle at San Francisco. I
am fully persuaded that Slavin is anxious to
fight any man IN this country, and at present I
am somewhat inclined to think he will defeat
anybody, although 1 won't just now go on
record as definitely stating that. But 1 will,
indeed, be surprised IL man of Corbetts style
and method of fighting will ever be able to keep
man like Slavin from inficting terrible pun
ishment.
In short. 1 dom think chat these very long
armed men will be any more successful in
stopping the onslaught of Slavin than men
were in stopping Sullivan. The late victory of
Fitzsimmons over Dempsey has entirely given
wrong, or atleast an exaggerated opinion re.
gardIng tall men and their long reaches. Mat
ters between Fitzsimmons and Hall are still un-
settled and the 'long range business is still
going on. If they cannot come to terms one of
them should fight Ed Smith at middle-weight.
Bowen and Myer have agreed to meet in the
ring and If all goes we'll Bowen's show for
victory should be good one. PRINGLE.

A Prize That Wasn't Won,

The Berlin Taegblatt has announced that
its literary judges have been unable to fix
upon the author whose efforts were worthy
OF the prize of 10, ,OCO marks promised for
the best essay on the Historical Progress
of the Unihcation Movement Among the
German People" The prize money will
therefore be devoted to some charity.

FROM WAsHINGTON's FAMILY.
Death of Baroness Who Was Connecte,
With George of Hatchet Fame.

With George of Hatchet Fame.
The Baroness of Washington, who died
the other day, was a haIf-sister of the present
Grand Duke of Oldenburg and a sister of
an e1-Queen of Greece, wife of Prince Otto
of Bavaria. Her maiden name was the
Duchesse Frederique, and she waited 35
years before she exchanged it for that OF
Baroness Washington.
The Washingtons claim to be descended
from the family Of the immortal George
Washington-that is, of English birth.
They received the proud title Of Bsvarian
barons in 1929. that is, nearly ten years after
Duchesse Frederique's birth.

employment to meet his necessities. His
position at the academy not having proved
sufficiently remuneratiye he retired from it.
Perpetual Ground Rents offered.
The following seven years were but the
history of the previous 16 as to changes in
its teachers and deficient patronage.
Munifcent State donations were gradually
being swept away, and the most valuable
town lots sunk IN perpetual ground rents.
Here is notice, also from the Gazette,
showing the extremity to which the manage
ment was driven:
The trustees of the Pittsburg Academy offer
on perpetual ground rent 240 feet front on Sec
ond street, extending from Cherry alley to
Smithfeld street, and 80 feet front on Smith
field, extending from Third street to a ten-foot
alley. A plan of the lots and the terms are left
with James Morrison on Wood street.

Managers
This financial folly was fully accom-
plished without either the Academy or its
more pretentious successor, the University,
being sensibly benefited by the annual yield
of its miserable pittance-a reproach not on
the managers, but on the people, whose abb
sence of Intelligent iDerality had made it
compulsory. 1t was sacrifice of what
would in time have secured funds ample
enough to endow full corps of professor
ships.
Among those in charge of the academy in
these times were Rev. John Taylor, 1900;
Rev. Robert Steele, 1903 and Rev. Joseph
Stockton, 1916.
The Western University sprung from the
fnancial losses of this hard-worked bene-
fciary of the State Government, turning
out brilliant scholars in preparation for the
higher classes of Dickinson and Jefferson
Colleges. The new charter was coupled
with new appropriations and an enlarge
ment of powers giving authority to confer
diplomas of scholarship, etc.
