REPRESENTATIVES, WIKE of Illinois Is not
the member from Buncombc, but he is
talking for that celebrated constituency
very loudly these days. His ponderous
resolution, with its long string of where
ases, is sound and fury and signifies
nothing-except that Mr.. WINE must
think the good people of Buncombe are
longing to be talked TO. The resolution in
question proposes to amend the Constltu
ton SO rs to bring about the impeach'
ment Of the Speaker for offenses alleged
to have been committed and omitted by
Mr.. REED.
The Constitution can't be amended in
the direction Mr.. WKr proposes, and he
knows il. The resolution can't get out oi
the Committee ON the Judiciary and he
knows it. Even If it did it wouldn't pass
the House, and he knows it. Even II Il
should pass the House II couldn't pass tn,
Senate, and he knows It.
Therefore it is simply talking for Bun
combe to propose il.

Clever Capture of a Mysterious Thief by

took $4,000 worth of securities from the

safe. An electric wire was then run
through it to the money-drawer. This wire
was conducted down water spout, four
floors down to the rear of Bloch Bros hat
store, SO Nassau street, and attached to a
bell. When all was completed, Detectives
MeClosky and Lyman were stationed near
the bell and given keys to the law office.
They began their watch in the evening

4 London Crank Makes Life Miserable for

Certain ladies of the nobility, who find it
impossible to endure his impertinence any
longer, have resolved upon the punishment
of Edward Rowden, probably the most per-

He was sentenced to eighteen months
Imprisonment for sending Objectionable let

Rowden first spoke to her June 18th while
she was walking with her daughter, Lady
Edith Ward, in Hyde Park. On the follow

July 10th again accosted her in Hyde Park,
on which occasion she was obliged 10 call on
Mr.. Alfred de Rothschild fol- assistance.
Rowden walked rapidly away. After that
her ladyship received letters from Rowden
daily.
The evening of July 25th, while Lady
Dudley was at the opera, Rowden left the
stalls, came to her ladyship's box and spoke
to her. Lady Dudley then drew the cur

tried to draw it back Her ladyship went to
the door OF the box and appealed to the Earl
