Fred Brost's Case VIII be Handled by the
Wetzel County Authorities.


Constable A. L. Bundard, Of Little
ton, Wetzel county, came 10 the city
yesterday morning, and relieved the
police OF the care OF Fred Brost, the
Young horse thief whose career was
outlined in yesterdays REGISTER. The
constable said BroSt sold the stolen
horse for ten dollars and a watch, at
Cameron, having ridden from LittletOn
10 Cameron on it.
Yesterdays Pittsburg Dispatch had a
long account of the career Of Brost IN
Pittsburg, and made the young fellow
quite a desperate character, saying be
''had one Of the worst names of any
criminal in West Virginia" that he had
committed several burglaries there. "
The fact is that Brost never did any
thing but petty thieving until he stole
the horse, and is about as harmless a
looking young fellow as one could meet
with ia a day. He is believed by the
police here to be not quite right men
tally.
Yesterdays REGISTER referred to a
letter Brost had written TO a Wheeling
. friend, and through which he was
hcaQGht by Officer Lukens. This letter
as follows:
"DEAR AMBRosE-I made a haul last
night Of $40 and they never found out

avenue Good-by.n
When arrested Brost admitted that
he told lie when no wrote OF stealing
$40 from a boarder or of hitting him on
the head with a blackjack. He also
lied when be wrote OF a Wheeling de-
tective being in the house, as there was
none there. He maintained, however,
that he intended TO break into a store
Saturday night, and said u was De
Roy's, on Penn avenue he meant, and
with the coolest bravado boasted Of how
he could do il and escape arrest.
He confessed TO his name being Fred
Brost, but said he also travelled under
the aliases Of Jesse Phillips and Fred
Bullock, by which names hk was known
TO his pals in this city.

NO BETTER FOOD.

What the directory does not promise
is that the quality OF the food VIII De
improved or the quality served increas-
| ed. When one orders q cut OF roast
beef a customer does not want an en-
tire OK, but it is the custom when
charge of 81 is made for such an order,
as is done In the French restaurant, or
rs cents for an entree, that enough VIII
be served for two, but this is not done
In any of the fair restaurants. This is
a matter of comparative indifference to
the solitary visitor, but when he Is
married man and has his wife and boy
with a healthy appetite along, IT Is
necessary TO make a separate meat or
der for every one in the party, the cost
of which, added to the extra charges
for bread and butter and potatoes, Is
enough to make serious inroads on any
ordinary bank account.
Bvt If this state OF things is hard on
the man Of family 1t is enough to utter
! ~ terrify and drive into state OF nerv-
Gus prostration the reckless young man
who may take his best girl to the show.
The married man who, in a moment OF
thoughtlessness, runs up against bill
| of fare such as is displayed at the fair
restaurants, has some means OF retreat.
He can persuade his wife that she is not
very hungry after all, and tell the
Youngsters that they can eat pie or go
hungry; but the young man has no such
way OF controlling the appetite OF his
best girl. he can simply sit by In ever
increasing horror while she orders
dishes the cost of any one OF which
takes a weeks salary, and when she IS
done he ceases to wonder why the coun-
try is now suffering from a spasm OF
financial depression.
CAUSE OF BUSINESS FAILURES.
Unless the aforesaid young man is on
such intimate terms with the girl that
he can talk plainly TO her on matters Of
ways and means, he had better leave
her at home when he goes to the fair,
unless he wants to add another one to
the list OF business failures which have
recently been troubling the country.
One promise has been made by the
directory, however. which will prooa-
bly, be kept. The lumber used in the
grand stand on which the exercises OF
May were held is TO be used in con-
structing seats throughout the grounds,
so that the weary may rest themselves.
There will be about one seat for every
ten persons who want to use them, but
half q loaf is better than no bread, and
the campstools will be put to the use
they were intended for, namely, to be
carried by visitors through the build
logs and used when they wish to rest
while examining the exhibits.

A Myth About Lithoeraphy.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
VIII you allow me once more TO come back TO
the senefelder myths? Reading my somewhat
hastily written communication in your issue of
last night 1t struck me that some one well in
formed on the subject might charge me with
unjustly treating the two myths" as Of the
sane value. While the one quoted
from .'Science Liftings" is an entire
fabrication the other has basis in
fact. The trouble with this second story IA
that the story mongers have tricked ii up and
have made OF the washerwoman a sort of prov
identially appointed agent for the discovery Of
photography, which is wide Of the mark Sene-
fielder was led by the incident in question TO
experimenting in the direction Of etching on
stone in relief. which is not "lithography."
This latter art. or chemical printing" he did
not invent until some years later.
BY thus correcting myself shall deservedly
lay myself open to the charge Of having ignored
the wise old maxim, Make haste slowly" But
having pointed ont mistake made by another

THE PNEUMATIC GUN,
Commodore Sampson's Report Will Prob
ably Be Against the System.

Commodore SIMPSONS Report Will Prob
ably Be Against the System.
Commodore Sampson, the naval chief of
ordnance, will probably report against the
pneumatic gun system. The report of the re-
cent trial of the vesuvius is still in his
hands and will be sent to the Sec
rotary in a few days with comment
which may result in the removal of the fixed
pneumatic guns of the Vesuvius and the abau-
donment of that type Of ordnance in the navy.
Some experts believe that the faults of the sys-
TEN, notably the difficulty in the operation of the
valves, cannot be readily corrected. An off,
Ger, in speaking of this matter, said:
1.-The matter Of fuses, the occasion Of so
much extra work for the board. is one which is
easily corrected. The same cannot be said for
the valve gear Of the ship. The faults in that
part OF the guns have remained almost as pro-
nounced aud Objectionable when the guns
were first fired in Delaware river. The Secre-
tary will be advised that there is no indication
operation, and that this fact furnishes the main
objection to the whole system. One day the
valves, set for certain range, will accomplish
certain result The next day, under appar-
emily identical conditions, and with the valves
fixed as on the previous day. the result will
t be quit, ns;., different ; and difference,
actual warfare. 1t is this uncer-
tainty which will induce the ordnance
bureau to discourage the continuance Of
the pneumatic system in the navy. 1t will. Of
course, be left to the Secretary to determine
whether the system shall be further tried and
additional effort be made to overcome the OBJ
JeeuGns at present so apparent 1t will rest
WIN MIN as to the future OF this now useless
snip. and the changes which are necessary to
convert her into an efficient and properly pro-
tected warship.
