direct and indirect against the peace, and
good order of the department. Captain
Cobaugh was appointed in May, 1871,
and served continuously until March 8,
1885, when no resigned on account of n
change in the executive administration
of the Government. He was reappoint-
ed in September, 1880, and immediately
resumed his duties. His is q position
of trust and confidence. 1t is his duty
to look after the interests of the Gov
ernment in the Treasury Department.,
and to report to his Supporters all wrongs
and wrong-docrs. Consequently his
duties are something of the order of dc
tectivc work, and n great deal that is
done under his direction can never be
known save to his superior officers.

Senator Evarts. venerable Tile.


That eminently respectable old plug
hat, which may DO said to be almost q
landmark to people who live in New
York and Washington and has such n
worldwide celebrity, that glorious old
tile of Senator Evarts, is perhaps tho
most famous hat in America to-day. 1t
has been pertincntly asked: Where did
he get it? The extraordinary thing
about it is, not that it looks old, but
that it never looks new. There used to
be an old German in Berlin who had
exactly the same sized foot as the old
Emperor William, and as the Kaiser OBJ
jcctcd to wearing new boots his subject
was made to break i'll all the Empcror's
footwear. lie came to be known as
boot-strctchcr to his Majesty, and he
received Il snug pension for his services.
Is there an individual hidden away in
New York or Washington who has tho
same sized head rs the senior Senator
from New York, to whom each new hat
isgivcn and who is made to go forth and
engagc in ugh-and-tumblc fights for q
few weeks in order that tho hat may
get that appearance which the Senator
insists upon its having? OF course Mr..
Evarts does get new hats. One hat
won't hold together forever, but tho
uniform antiquity of his hats can only
be accounted for on the theory above
propoundcd. =

CASE CONTAINING AN HISTORICAL FLAG


boot was caught, throwing him to tho
floor and breaking his leg. Probably
but for that mishap to himself Booth
would have escaped from the country.
1t was well for him, however, that he
died rs he did, for every mans hand
was against him, and sooner or later he
would have met his fate, no matter
where he might have gone.
Several years ago, probably in 1878,
Johann Most, the Anarchist, held
numerous meetings here and gained
boldencd to declare that he would
make speeches at night from the steps
of the Treasury, meantime asserting
that the Treasury ought to be looted.
He announced that upon n certain night
he would make Il speech from those
steps. Secretary Sherman sent for
Cobaugh and asked him if no had heard
the alarming reports and if he could
prevent the meeting. Captain Cobaugh
replied: "NIr. Secretary, unless Johann
Most mounts those steps with letter
from you authorizing him to speak
there he will be carried away u corpse.
No man, much less man with mob,
can come SO near the Treasury doors ut
night"
True to his promise or threat, Most
came on the appointed night and start
ed up the steps. Captain Cobaugh met
him alone. With drawn revolver the
Captain quietly informed him that he
must not come up those steps, advising
him to depart with his followers in
peace, and giving him fair warning that
any attempt Mt violence would be fol-
lowed by his instant death, and the cow
ard and bully departed.
Il had my men SO disposed" said
Captain Cobaugh to-day, 'that that en-
tire mob would have been massacred if
Most had persisted in his plan. The
entire police force of the city was ready
to respond to n call and the marines
from the navy yard would have also
been on the scene"
Concerning the possibility of n law
less band entering the building by day,
eingly and separately, and then under
taking violence, Captain Cobaugh said:
ANY one of my men standing ut one of
the angles of these corridors with II re-
volvcr in each hand could drive away Il
score of men or kill them ull You can
readily sec how futile such an attempt
would be. From every angle and from
many of the doors mob would be at.
tackled before, behind and on the sides
by the bullets shot from heavy re-
volycrs or rifles by men whose aim is
absolutely perfect"
After seeing how perfectly every
thing is arranged, and after brief con-
vcrsation with the organizer and man
ager of the Treasury watch left with
q feeling that your money and mine,
dear reader, is perfectly safe and secure.

Sad Accident at Roanoke,

Ga Friday morning in Roanoke city, the
mortar having been softened by the rain,
the three story brick wall of Thurman &
Johuson's unfinished warehouse on Henry
street near Fourth avenue, caused them to
collapse and bring down with them in a
general mass Of ruins the south half OF
Miller's livery stable adjoining, in which
were two men named G. W. Lovelace and
L. B. Herring and about twenty mules and
horses.
Herring was killed outright, and Love-
lace was badly bruised and cut about
the hips and legs, besides receiving Sc.
we're cash on the face from the kick of a
horse.
Two Of the horses were killed and three
SO badly injured that they had to be
shot.
The two men In ths stable we're from Mt.
Airy, N. c., and were hired By Messrs
Rogers & O'Brien, contractors and owners
of the horses.
Mr.. M. A. Thurman, one Of the owners of
the warehouse, was standing on the joists of
the third floor of that building inspecting
the walls when they fell and almost miracu-
lousy escaped unhurt.

Judge William MeLaughlin,

Should Judge L. L. Lewis of the Virgin.
ia Court Of Appeals be appointed by the
President a Judge of the United States
Court Of Appeals for the Circuit embracing
Virginia, the Legislature would have to
elect a Judge of the Court of Appeals of
Virginia to supply the vacancy thus occa-
sioned, and, in that event, the election of
Judge William Mclaughlin, the able Judge
of this Circuit, would be eminently proper,
and would meet with the appreciation of
the people, not only Of this Circuit but of
the whole State, as his fame as an able and
upright Judge is not confined to the Cir
cult in which he has served for many years
with such distinguished ability and eficlen-
CT. His election to the Court of Appeals
would be loss to this Circuit, but it would
be again to the State.
