AN AMATEUR DETECTIVE.
He Lands in IA Police Cell and is Dis
gusted.

!
/ John Propst Is twenty years old and his
| desire to make his mark in life as a de-
tective got him behind the bars. He lives on
I'd street northwest between Il and c streets
and not many weeks ago he made the ac-
| quaintance of Charles Lease, the proprietor
! of a Pennsylvania avenue shooting gallery,
SO he says. He says he understood that di-
vorce proceedings were to be instituted and
Mr.. Lease hired him to follow his wife, Mrs.
Carrie Lease as he wanted to learn, If pos
sible, what lawyer she was or had en-
ployed.
Last night Mrs. Lease was at the house of
Mrs McGill, her sister. and during the even
ing they went out together. John followed
from tree to tree and from lamp post to
lamp post about the neighborhood of 18th
and Corcoran streets. Johns idea of a de-
tective's "all-seeing' and "only-seeing' eye
was of no avail in this case, for both Mrs
Lease and her sister saw him almost as
soon as he saw them.
When the corner of 18th and Corcoran
streets was reached Mrs. Lease and her
sister stopped, and there was nothing for
the private detective to do but to proceed
along the sidewalk. He had not proceeded
far, however when he learned to his sor-
row that Mrs. McGill was a self-appointed
officer of the law and he was her prisoner.
Right there on the sidewalk she charged
that he had been acting as a spy and told
him he need not deny it for she had wit
nesses to prove the truth of her accuse ton.
And the poor detective, nearly frightened
to death, did not deny II, although he de-
clined to state the name of his employer.
He was escorted to the ladys house and
there detained until the arrival Of Police
man Thompson. Then he was escorted to
the eighth precinct station, where he was
given an iron bed on which to sleep and
some Potomac water to drink.
Felt Hungry This Morning.
When he arrived at the Police Court this
morning he complained that he was hungry
and his experience, he said had taught him
that he had better return to the painting
business at which he had worked. Before
Judge Kimball he was arraigned on a
charge of being a suspicious person, with
out visible means of support. The testi-
mony of the prosecuting witnesses was
enough TO convince the court of the guilt of
the prisoner, and P-opst, who had figured
as "Old Seuth." was called upon for an
explanation. He admitted the facts stated.
but declined to tell who had employed him
until ordered to do so by the court and
then it was that he gave the name of
Charles Lease
Judge Kimball informed the young man
that he had better engage in some other
business if he wanted to enjoy his liberty
and sentenced him to give real estate Sc
curity in the sum of $50 go down for
sixty days. He stepped back.

Forty Years Ago.

History still repeats itself.
The summer Of 1854 was not only
unusually hot and dry, like the
present one. but it was memora
BILE by reason of the severe visi-
tation of cholera, which broke
out in September of that year,
and in a few weeks carried on
over a thousand of the inhabi-
tants of two cities. and
vicinity. The spring had been
cold and backward, and there
were heavy SHOWS in April and
severe frosts up until the begin
ming of May. The warm weather
began in June, and in July there
were complaints of injury done
to potatoes and other growing
crops for want of rain. During
July the heat was extreme and
the Ohio river fell 50 low that
old inhabitants had to go back to
1888 to find a parallel to the low
stage of water. During August
there were refreshing rains in
some sections of Western Penn
sylvania and Eastern Ohio, but
came too late to save the corn and
potatoes which were almost a
failure. A day OF fasting and
prayer was appointed by the
churches of the two cities, and,
strangely enough, the petitions
for rain were soon followed by
copious showers but these In turn
were succeeded by the epidemic
of cholera.

To Care For wilson.

The Democrats are certainly
making preparations to take care
of w. l.. Wilson. A strong Demo
cratic paper last week says {:
Whether Representative W. l..
Wilson is reelected to Congress
or not, it's regarded by his col
leages as likely thai President
Cleveland will give. him an ap-
pointment to the federal bench if
a suitable vacancy occurs during
the next two years. The SUI
preme court, they agree, would
be honored by Mr.. Wilson pres
ence on the bench; but there is
no present prospect of a vacan-
cy to which a West Virginian
could be appointed, so that they
feel it more likely that Mr.. Will
son would go on the circuit or
district bench Mr.. Wilson has
been mentioned in connection
with many Offices, including the
presidency itself T; but of all the
other Offices possible to him his
friends think that Mr.. Wilson
would prefera judgeship, as be
ing a life position for which he
has peculiar fitness.

The Randolph Democratic coun-
ty convention and the delegate
district convention. composed of
Randolph and Tucker counties,
met at Beverly today. The
county convention was the most
disgraceful affair ever held in
the county. Drunken men fight
ing and swearing retarded the
work of the convention for more
than an hour.
The delegate convention was
more orderly, but bad blood was
manifested between the Camden
and anti-C amdenmen. The anti
Camden men gained control OF
the convention and nominated j.
T. Harding and Lloyd Hansford
for the House of Delegates. They
both pledged themselves to use
their influence against Camden,
and declared for w. L. Wilson
for United States Senator.

Free Coal VS.. Taxed Sugar.

In considering the effectof free
coal and q tax upon sugar, ii must
be remembered that. according
to the Democratic theory, the
consumer pays the tax.
Our imports of coal in 1892
were 1.a64,s17 tons, upon which
was collected a duty of IS cents
per ton, or a total of 81, 023, 613
in single year. This is the ex-
tent of the relief that would be
accorded to the American people
by free coal.
Our consumption of sugar last
year was 4.343, 2o9,5oo pounds,
whichs at an average price of q
cents per pound, would be worth
s119, 1880 An ad valorem
Tariff of 40 cent. upon this
amount would be S47. 775, 3o4. A
differential duty of cent upon
4.34S, 200, 500 pounds would be
IS, 429,o12, making a tota. break.
fast table of $50, 2o4,316.
Free coal would thus, accord.
ing to the Democratic theory of
the consumer paying the tax, eff
feet a saving to the people of
S1,o23,61S or II cents per capita,
while taxed sugar would cost
them $50, 2o4,31 or n cents for
every man, woman and child in
the country. The direct loss by
such Democratic legislation
would have been 754 cents for
every individual, a total addi-
tlonal burden of s52.1so, 7o3 a
year.
