After cIeveIand.s chair.

WAsHISGrON, Sept 2S.-This morning
shortly before ten O'Clock a white man,
twenty-eight years of age, in some unex-
plsined way found his way into the lower
regions Of the White House, and meeting
the coIored cook said to her; " l want to see
father"
who is your father" the cook asked
him.
"Mr. Cleveland, of course" was his re-
sponse.
Just then Policeman Heller appeared
upon the scene and saw at glance that the
man was not altogether right and 90 he dealt
with him accordingly.
"Your father IS out in the garden, come
with me and We will find him, said the pO-
lice.
Arm in arm they started toward the door
the intruder thinking he was going to meet
the president, but the officer knew that he
would land him at the watch box.
On their way the officer asked the man
what he wanted in the White House
81 want that chair" was his response.
What chair?n
THE Presidents chair"
"Don't you think the president fills it
satisfactorily
" No don't and l intend 10 get it by fair
means or foul. Give Us each pistol aud /
viii show who will get it d-d quick"
When they got 70 the watch box, they
found Policeman Hible on duty. Before
that officer knew what was going on the
prisoner grabbed the policeman's blackjack
from his pocket, evidently thinking he was
going TO get pistol. He tried TO use the
club on the officer, but both officers grabbed
him and the struggle lasted but a few
minutes before the man was overpowered.
The crank was conveyed to the police sta
ton where he gave the name of Joseph
Washington and said he came from Penn
sylyania.
A charge of being a suspicious character
was flied against him.
