about police experience and police
work Many humorous tales were re-
cited, the majority of which were we'll
turned lies. and it was growing late
when the man " 10 had to catch SUI
bd.ban train pulled out his watch and,
with Il look which meant that he had
just time To tell the story, asked if any
ono had ever heard about Bob Quacll-
enbushs first prisoner
Every old-tine police reporter had
sincere affection for Bob. For many
years he was the night doornan in the
big white building in Mulberry street
and WAS famed throughout the depart
ment as a humorist He would crack
joke with anybody, from the prcsi-
dent OF the board TO the Italian boot
black. and was never found wanting in
quaint remark and ready retort. 1t is
some years now since Bob died while
he was doing duty in the city hall
squad, and he is now lying in church
yard away up the state near the little
town from which lie came thirty years
ago with two hundred pounds of muscle
aud bone and aspirations to the New
York police force.
According to the reporters story,
Bob, after receiving his uniform and
his shield was detailed for duty at the
Oak street station. That was in the
afternoon OF the day he was appointed,
and he went ont on the night tour at
six O'Clock to cover Il post of which lie
knew little and to catch criminals Of
whom he knew less. Things went
along swimmingly during the early
part of the night Bob decided that he
would like the work, and concluded
that it would be Il big feather in his
cap, or helmet, if he could catch 4 ptis-

herd of 115 goats in motion over the
top. When the animals we're first put to

Wildcat LEGISLATION

TOPEKA, Kas., May 10.-Judge Hazen,
of the district court of Shawnee county,
has rendered an important decision on
the mortgage redemption law enacted by
the last legislature. The decision was in
case to foreclose secured mortgage on
farm. The defendant set up his right
under tho act in question that he could
redeem property at any time within
eighteen months after the sale by the
sheriff. Judge Hazen held this clause of
the act unconstitutional. When the bill
was under discussion in the house the
constitutionality of the clause was raised
and it's unconstitutionality generally adj
mitted on the floor, but it was inserted for
the reason, as Speaker" Dunsmore put
it, that mortgages might take advantage
of it and 60 to the supreme court, which
would put it three years behind on the
docket and thus delay the confirmation
of sherff's sales.

ments and Other News Of
the Day.

WASHINGTON, May 1O.--The presidents
order closing the White House to office
seekers formed the chief topic of CONVEX
sation among the politicians today. The
politicians say that tho order will have
the effect of making close corporation
of the patronage system by giving repre-
sentatives and senators the sole right to
talk to the president about appointments,
and the president will thus be debarred
from hearing the voice of the people at
large on the fitness Of candidates put for
ward for appointment to Office.
In opposition to those opinions some
arguments are advaDced on the presi-
dents side of the case. II isargued that
the denial of personal interviews does
not cut off the right OF citizens to make
endorsements or put forward candidates.
They may file all the papers they wish to
and when the question of filling a certain
office comes up the claims Of each appli-
cant will he given attention

York Trip.

York Trip.
WASHINGTON. u. c.. Nov. 20.-The real
object OF the Presidents recent mystic
rious visit TO New York has not yet been
divulged to the entire satisfaction Of the
gossips. The latest bit OF information on
the subject was given 10 n reporter by q
gentleman who claimed 10 know what he
was talking about and who was led TO
betray the secret by his indignation at the
sensational theories that had received cur
rency In the newspapers. According 70
him the President merely went 10 New
York TO get some clothes"
Instead Of having his tailor come 20
Washington to take his measure" he add
ed, the President went to him In New
York for that purpose"
lie said further that the tallors estab-
lishment WAS On Fifth avenue and that
the President had dealt there for some
time. This theory Is subject to various
comments. One is that the President ap-
pearently does not think ne can get a
"1t' In Washington, and another IS that
he thinks his measurements have changed
since he was last subjected to the tape
The last theory, even If true, would not
explain the Presidents trip for the sim
pie reason that there Is probably not a
tailor in the country that would not re-
gard II as the highest honor to be sum-
moned TO Washington with his samples
and tools Of trade I'm order to cater to
the wants OF the chief executive I'm the
matter OF wearing apparel. Like all other
stories concerning the present head OF the
nation it is neither affirmed nor denied
at the White House." and therefore is
given for what It is worth and nothing
more.
