Knocked senselesS. No, l have made
no complaint and no arrests have been
made. / was requested not to do as
Ia personal favor to Mr.. Burns. the
proprietor of the restaurant
Mr. Osborne said he intended to go
to Paris with his wife in about two
weeks.
If all the stories told in the Tender
loin precinct, where Howell Osborne
has ''trotted so many heats" are true
the young man has shown a fine de-
gree of speed since his return from
the Pacific slope. He Went to the Casino
two or three nights ago after dining
with friends and spoke his mind freely
to the man in the box office because
he couldn't get the seats he wanted.
With him We're two men. one a French
bookmaker, who is known as Don
naeiZ. They finally secured a box. In
the box above them was a party, two
members of which We're Josephine
Plows-Day and Marie Greenwald.
The story goes that after the second
act the ladies left the box. They saw
| Osborne. Miss Plows-Day said, L don't
want to meet that man." and turned
| her back on him.
| He brushed against her elbow, and
Union club man, whose name no one
will reveal, marched up to Osborne
and said
rs there anything you want here?"
Yes" answered Osborne, L wan
to speak to your friend
What friend?"
| THE lady who just went in"
You are mistaken. She has nothing
to do with YOU
Osborne made a careless remark and
nothing more was said until the club
man and his friends had taken the
ladies away. Then, returning to the
roof garden, the two men met Osborne
and his companions. Osborne offered
to fight a duel, and said that further
more he would pay the passage tc
Europe of any man who was a gentle
man who would settle the difficulty
III a gentleman's way. He asked for the
other mans card and got this for ar
answer
y
a gentleman. l know your name, bu
your standing as a gentleman will have
to be verified to me before | accept any
proposition from you. I have heard {
great many things to prevent me from
believing that you are gentleman
even if you are-Mr. Howell Osborne
The last words were spoken with 6
vehemence and force which caused 6
temporary lull in the performance
and the ushers told all the partic
ipants in the argument that they mus
adjourn to another place to continu,
dispute.

NINE HORROR IN ENGLAND.
Over One Hundred Men Imprisoned In
a Colliery.

London, July 5.-One hundred and
fOrty-fve miners We're entombed yes
terday at Thorn Hill, Yorkshire. The
day shift went to work as usual early
in the morning.
All went well until noon, when the
workers at the pits mouth were star
tied by a mutt1ed explosion and by
clouds Of dense smoke rolling up the
main shaft They tried to commune
cate with the workingmen, but found
hat the interior had been cut off from
shaft i
The pit managers organized an ex-
ploring party and descended slowly
through the smoke. They were driv-
en- back repeatedly, and eventually
gave up their purpose of penetrating to
the working forces before the gas could
be cleared away.
The cause of the explosion has not
been ascertained. There were terrible
scenes of grief at the pits mouth when
the manager announced that more than
one hundred miners were lost One
woman fell dead when she learned that
her husband had been killed.

WHAT Ais GROVER?
Report That the President has Been
Suffering From Cancer.

Boston. July Tt may be an un.
made upon the authority Of a neighbo1
OF President Cleveland at Buzzard s
Bay that the Presidents illness which
confines him to his cottage is due to
an operation performed by DR.. Bryant
last Saturday to remove a cancer
The report first came from Buzzard' S
Bay yesterday morning, and later in
formation was received from Washing
ton before the Buzzlrds Bay report was
received there. How much truth there
is in the startling assertion cannot be
learned, because DR.. Bryant, Col. La
mont and other persons near the presi-
dent will not discuss the presidents
indiSpOSition, otherwise than to declare
that he is suffering from slight attack
of rheumtism, which will keep him con-
fined to his room for some time.
In the light of circumstances previ-
ously declared trivial, however, the re-
port is accepted as having some basis
of truth.
The cancerOuS growth which DR.. Bry-
ant is said to have removed from the
mouth of the president last Saturday
was first noticed, according to replrt,
more than a year ago, but did not cause
him any Inconvenience until a few
weeks ago, when a prominent New
York specialist and DR.. Bryant made
an examination Of the formation, and
decided that it should be removed. The
cancer, if report be true, was a very
small affair under the tongue and was
removed without difficulty although the
operation must necessarily have been
a very painful one, and as a conse-
quence the president is suffering from
the effects Of it.

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH"

Chicago, July 5.-Aside from the eel
ebration at the worlds fair grounds, it
was the liveliest fourth Of July Chicago
has had in recent years. Forty-one
people were injured by powder, and
three of them, Andrew Burns, William
kattele, Is years of age, and Dennis
Healey, an electrician, were fatally in
jured. Burns was hit by stray bullet
Young Kattele was standing near a
two-pound can of powder when a spark
fell into it, and Healey touched off a
cannon with a match. Both of Heal
ey's eyes We're blown out. The fire de-
partment was on the jump all day,
there having been 115 alarms up to
11:30 tonight. The aggregate loss will
amount to 100000. In addition to the
casualties incident to the character of
the day there were two murders, Mrs.
Philomena Findano being stabbed by
her drunken son-in-law, Joseph Irwin,
and Albert Lyons being shot through
the head by Albert Green. Mrs.
Findano was killed during a family
quarrel and Lyons was murdered while
trying to stop Green, who was running
from a policeman.

A NAPOLEONIC PAINTER.
He Was a photographer and He Knew
Character Like MOliere.

Paris, July 5.-They are about to
raise a statue to Charlet, the painter of
grumbling old Soldiers of the Napoleon
ic legend. Painter is a word which one
can employ when speaking of Charlet,
although most Of his art was exercised
in photography. The man whose pic
lures We're referred to by Baron
Gerard in 1927 in the following lam
guage: Call it what you will, there
is genius in them,' deserves to be called
a painter. The admirers OF Charlet
called him the ''Moliere of the barracks
and of the drinking shops" He con-
tributed not a little to bring into fash
ion, and to make people understand the
charm of the process invented by Sen
efelder, drawing on stone; that is, ith-
ography.

CARAVEIS ARRIVE.
Greeted with Great Pomp and Display
at the Worlds Fair

Greeted with Great Pomp and Display
at the Worlds Fair.
Chicago, July Amid the booming
Of cannon, waving of flags, blowing OF
whistles, and in the presence of 100000
people the Spanish caravels were today
welcomed to the worlds Columbian
exposition.
The caravels completed their long
and eyentful journey at 3 o'clock this
afternoon when they cast anchor in
the harbor at the worlds fair. They
were towed into port by the United
ship Michigan with an escort
of half a hundred or more gaily dec
GRATED steamers, yachts and pleasure
boatts.
AS the historic trio hove to and
cast anchor there was booming of can
non and blowing of whistles and clang-
ing of bells, intermingled with the
shouts of the multitude which black
ened the shore of the whole exposition
grounds and sWarmed on top Of the
buildings
The Midway Plaisance sent it's strang-
est people to march in the caravel pro-
cession Buffalo Bills Indians, Cos
sacks, Bedouins and other rough riders
were there and the English soldiers Of
the military tournament added their
scarlet coats to the picturesque assem-
blage.
Director General Davis received Cap
tain Conchas and his men and presented
them to the public amid wild cheering
Senator John Sherman then delivered
the address of welcome
Capt. Conchas responded briefly and
Secretary of the Navy Herbert and
others also made brief addresses.

The Lithography society have issued
IN appeal to the museums and pri-
vate collectors to collect the works of
Charlet in one exposition The profits
Of this exposition will be devoted to
the foundation of fund for the statue
which they desire to raise.
Charlet was the son of common
dragon of the army Of Sambre-et-
Meuse, who, at his death, left him a
fortune consisting of a pair of leather
breeches and a pair Of boots Worn out
by long campaigns. Young Toussaint
Charlet was brought up by his mother
in the admiration of the uniform and OF
great sabre Strokes.
In the year 1914 he was employed
as an ''Incorporated'' in the national
guard. and he took part in the defence
Of the Barriere de Clichy. In his cele
brated picture which bears that name,
Vernet represents him. He is the tall
fellow. overreaching the others by a
full head, who is charging his gun in
the background, near the group where
the citizen soldiers of the second legion.
and among them the two Vernets, are
in action. The restoration discharged
Charlet from his little Office, which had
the effect Of throwing him still further
into the opposition. He became its
caricaturist, Just as Beranger became
its singer. He actually wrote history
| from day to day. His subjects, always
familiar. and treated with a good
humor which sometimes reaches the
lyrical, have remained, as it were, the
! expression OF an epoch. Every one
knows The First Fire, The Second
Fire, The Painful Farewell, A Carica-
ture of Louis XVIII, The Grenadier of
Waterloo, The Flag, and many others.
In an article in the Revue DIES DeuX
Mondes, DelacroiX said of him: L do
not hesitate to place him in the paint
ing of character by the side of Moliere
La Fontaine, and, La Bruyere. It is
difficult to find any one who can be
preferred to him among the great mas
ters, as regards simplicity of concep
ton and breadth of design"
This praise may appear to us a little
exaggerated today; but Charlet, never
| IucltSSS, was dDle W IoIlhIlldlC LII Liz
Autographs a movement which is hard
~ over yet, and he knew how to start
it better than anybody else In this
sense he deserves to have a place by
the side of the great carciturist and tC
have his bust upon a public place.
Hippolyte Boranger, another litho
grapher, in one of his compositions
made Immediately after the death OF
Charlet, represents him simply decorat
ed by a pallet and photographic stone
A soldier kneeling has finished this in
scription: ITO Charlet, the people"
! Around him are the veterans of all
branches of the service. A Sister OF
Charity and gentleman who resembles
| Bera gner extend toward the bust their
hands loaded with flowers.
| The public are somewhat fOrgetful
Napoleon I. exists today only in historl
cal and academical discussions. No
body has any hope of the return OF
another one.' But it is a good thing
for the photographers to remember a
master in their art.

FOOD FOR POWDER

What is certain is that Napoleon
gained sixty battles, ten more than
Caesar, and to quote the figures pre-
served at the war office he expended
during the wars Of the consulate and
the empire 100000 men, This man,
who, visiting the battlefield of Madge-
burg. and struck by the number of
dead which lay around some of his
soldiers, said to Count Rapp: what
is the regiment that has fought so
weIl?" and upon the reply, ''the Thirty
second" stopped and said meditatively,
How does it still survive? I have
killed so much of that regiment in Italy,
in Egypt and everywhere that there
ought to be no more of it 1eft"-The
Athenaeum.

a BABY INCUBATOR.
How 1t Saevd the Life of a Little.
One.


Mrs. Kate Greyert, Of New York. is
Is years cd and the wife of young
mechanic. About six weeks ago the
couple took rooms on the top floor of
the three-Story brick house at 315 East
1Wenty-SiXth street. On the ground
Hoor is tin shop kept by G. w. Rob
inson, who has interested himself in
the manufacture of chicken and germ
lncubatorS. He keeps number OF
these tin boxes in his tin shop.
Mrs. Grevert was looking forward to
an addition to her family in September,
but a few days ago she gave birth to
a child that was fourteen inches long
and weighed only two pounds. DR..
Morehead, of Eighteenth street and
Second avenue, said that the baby was
dead. Shortly after the doctor left the
infant began to show signs of life.
Robinson, who had taken a great
deal of interest in the Grevert family,
got one of his chicken incubators, which
consisted of a metallic box two feet
| long and ten inches deep, with a glass
| top and air and water chambers
Under the box was a spirit lamp.
Robinson put the infant in the incuba-
tor and regulated the heat to about
1O3 degrees, raising the glass top a
trifie The baby grew rapidly better
and on Sunday manifested an amount
of energy which threatened to demol-
ish its queer cradle. From time to
time Robinson feeds it by dropping
warm milk into its mouth by means
of medicine-dropper The baby has
been named Joseph. He has grown
two inches and weighs two and three
fourths pounds more than when he
was put into the incubator

Pine Against Iron and Steel.

\ beam of it 10 inches square by II
feet long won victory over iron,
steel and the other materials used in
the construction of big pressure
testing machine at st. Louis the 9th
er day. Washington University, III
the city mentioned, had recently built
what purported to be 100, 000pound
testing machine in its department Of
civil engineering. The purpose Of
such machines ID to test the strength
of materials that may be put in
bridges, trusses, etc. This particular
machine was on the hydraulic press
principle, and was operated with oil
in the cylinder. When the 1O-inch
piece of yellow pine was put in to be
tested the engineers in attendance
knew that the great machine had an
antagonist worthy of its best efforts.
But they did not anticipate what hap
pened. Up to Il pressure OF 2OO,OOO
pounds there was not a creak or
groan from either machine or timber.
At $50. 600 pounds the pine began to
bend just the least bit aud there were
two or three sharp raps, as though
some one had struck the machine
with a hammer. At 100000 pounds
the end came. With a terrible crash
the great machine flew into hun
dred pieces. And the pine beam re-
sumed its straight lines.
