A SMART TRAVELLER.
He CAUSED A SLEUTHHOUND VERY
GREAT ASTONISHMENT.

A Clever Travelling Man Who Was Good
Deal Smarter Than a Western Deteo-
tive-The Means He Took to Teach the
Officer a Lesson in Carefulness.
A famous western detective declares
that he never surprised a criminal more
completely than he himself was sur
prised in journey from Albany to New
York.
He was seated comfortably in parlor
car Swimming over a newspaper, when a
gentleman rose from the seat opposite.
and touching him on the shoulder re-
marked in an offhand way, as if they
had been chatting together for hours:
"Well, sir, of course you will do as
you think best, but it's my opinion that
you are on false scent"
"How do you mean:" asked the de-
tective, staring at the man with all his
eyes in a vain attempt to make out his
identity.
"Why, l mean that there is no use in
your trying to find out the motive
which prompted this young girl to throw
herself into the river, because she was
dead before she ever left the land"
"What young girl? What river? Who
are you talking about and who are your

Somewhat mollihed, bat AZ much in

the detective replied:
But, ny dear sir, how can you pos
lbly take any interest in my business

Father Is Angry.


Father Is Angry.
Tt is not often that a brewery employee
has genuine count as a son-in-law, and Is
seems still more remarkable that, having
secured such distinguished relative By
marriage, a man in humble circumstances
should turn the noble husband of his
daughter out of doors But Philip Loeb,
who has worked for Liebmanns. the Brook
lyn brewers, did that very thing, and did it
quite emphatically too.
About eighteen months ago Miss Alma
Loeb went TO Milwaukee on a visit to her
sister, Mrs. Fichtenberg, whose husband is
well TO do. 1t was decided that the trio
should spend a portion of the summer at
Elkhart lake, near by fashionable resort.
There they met Count Ferdinand Franz
Gebhart Leberecht Won Butcher, of Ger
many, grandson of the famous general
whose opportune arrival at Waterloo was
the means of causing Napoleon Bonaparte
TO end his days on the island of St. Helena.
Miss Alma and the count fell in love with
each other on sight. The counts version
of the circumstances Immediately leading
up to the marriage is rather odd, to say the
the least. His story is that one evening,
only three days after he had met Miss
Loeb, he was sitting in her room, when her
relatives rushed in and declared that it was
necessary for him to marry her in order to
avoid scandal. A Methodist minister was
quickly brought and the nuptial knot was

politan Association.
The Central Board of the Amateur Ath-
letic Union will have a special session at
the Astor House today to adopt measures
that will restore harmony in the Metro
politan branch. The clubs are numerous
and some of the larger organizations de-
mapd a representative on the Board of
Managers. To accomplish this 1t is pro-
posed to divide the present Metropolitan
Association into three sections, namely:-
The first to be known RS the Metropolis
IAN Association of the Amateur Athletic
Union. which is to consist of all clubs in
New York city and as far north as
Yonkers, and all clubs in the district of
New Jersey. north of Trenton; the
second district is to consist
of the Long Island Amateur
Athletic League, with headquarters in
Brooklyn; the third district is to cover
ALL the clubs in New York State north Of
Yonkers, which will be known as the
Northern District Association of the
Amateur Athletic Union. with heaGQuar-
tiers in Rochester.
There will be several other amend
ments offered, II of which is to increase
the representatives from each district to
eight instead of four. This will admit of
the Manhattan Athletic Club receiving
representation on the Central Board,
something which they are now denied.
The question Of paying n stated salary
of 50, 500 a year to the Secretary will also
be considered,
