THREATS TO RICH MEN.

CrankS.

New YORK, Feb. 9.-Houses of lead
ing men on Fifth Avenue were placard-
ed last night with the dire threats of a
crank, and considerable anxiety was the
result. The warning was in Latin and
read
BROTHERS: Remember the glorious ex-
ample of Valiant. Death to the rich man.
This is a marked man. Warn ALL BY the
will OF the common people.
This was found first on the door of
DR.. Depew's house at 43 West Fifty
fourth Street. The placard was glued
to the wall under the door bell. A
similar warning notice was also found
at the Vanderbilt mansion, Fifth Ave
nue. and Fifty-frst Street 1t is said
that the residence of Messrs. John d.
Rockefeller, II. NJ. Flagler and c. ?.
Huntington were also decorated with
these warnings. So far as can be learned
little alarm is felt in the Vanderbilt,
Astor or Depew family. In some GUAR
ters it is said that the Anarchists, now
fired with zeal "a la Valiant" are
known as members of the inner circle, "

JENKINS CASE COMES UP.
House judiciary Committee VIII Probably
Favor thorough lnVes-
tigatiOn,

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Feb. 9.-The
House judiciary committee, in executive
session this morning, took up the Nc
Gam resolution looking to the
impeachment of Judge Jenkins.
The committee considered the
resolution at considerable length but
did not reach any conclusion upon it.
Final decision WAS deferred to a subse-
quent meeting and opportunity Will be
afforded the labor men to come
before the committee and make
arguments. While the members Of
the committee are inclined to be wary
of expressing opinions at this stage;
conversations with them this morning
lead to the belief that the committee
will decide to make thorough investi-
CATION of the matter.
The resolution had been referred to q
ee-Representatives Boat
ner and Terry (Dems.) and Stone
(Rep.). Mr.. Stone had not been able
to consider the matter, and the other
two members being unable to agree
upon course of action returned the
bill to the whole committee.
In the discussion in full committee,
which lasted for an hour, differences Of
opinion were elected. Some members
thought that no showing had been
made which called for an investiga-
ton; others thought the committee
should proceed to Investigate the case,
while a third shade of opinion suggest
ed that the resolution should be re-
turned to the House and a vote taken
there as to whether an investigation
should be made.
No charges Of corruption have been
made against Judge Jenkins, nor is
there any explicit charge that he was
influenced by improper motives in issu-
inc the injunction. In the resolution
calling for the investigation, which
the committee on labor recommended,
the fact of the injunction is set forth
ard the contention is made that it was
illegal and unprecedented, an interfer-
ence with the plain RIGHTS of citizens.

BUENos AYREs, Feb. 9.-SensatiCnal
news has been received here from Rio,
de Janeiro. According TO dispatches
from the Brazilian capital, the decision
of President Peixoto to issue decree
calling for presidential election as
well as for an election for members of
Congress on March l was orIv reached
after the President had been badly
frightened by the discovery OF a plot To
murder him. There are several YER
sions of the affair. The plot appears to,
have been widespread and 20 have.
counted number Of influential peo-
pie, including several officers, among
the conspirators. SO soon as the plot
against the life of President Peixoto
was discovered the police were M
structed to arrest the ringleaders, which,
was promptly done.
The trial of the conspirators is said to.
have followed closely apon their ar
rest, and there being in tire opinion Of
the court martial no doubt that they
were guilty they were sentenced to-
death. The next morning the persons
convicted of having plotted TO take
the life Of President Peixoto we're
taken to an unfrequented spot
outside the line OF fortidCa~
tons and were shot while kneel-
ing at the foot of the freshly dug graves
which were prepared to receive their
bodies. After the fatal volley the bod
les of the conspirators we're hastily
placed in the graves by the soldiers
comprising the firing party. The earth
was shOveled upon them and the SOL
d1ers were cautioned not TO say a word
about the affair, under threat Of being
shot if they did SO.
The discovery Of the plot against
President Peixoto's life, the arrest Of
the cOnspirators, the court martial and
secret execution, all seem TO have been
kept from the ear Of the general public,
but their effect upon President Peix0to,
is said to have been so great that be

In addition to the conspirators exc
cuted, the dispatches also say number

Paying the Piper"

How many times we have heard the ex-
preston. "Pay the piper, and wondered
where it originated. Perhaps some of you
have heard the legend, but for the many
who have not will tell it. In all likeli-
hood it came from the old and celebrated
German legend of "The Pied Piper of
Hamelin." Robert Browning has given
us a pretty description of the legend in a
poem Of the same name.
The story tells us that young musi-
clan, dressed in disguise, came to Hamel,
a fiourishing town in Brunswick, and Of
fered to rid the town of the rats which
had infested it for so long time. He
wore fancy coat of many different colors,
hence he wac called the pied piper. The
commissioners of the town gave him or
ders to destroy the rats, and promised him
a reward when he should have done so.
But after the work was completed the
promised reward was withheld, and the
piper in revenge blew his magical pipe
again, and by its wonderful tones drew all
the children of the town to a cavern in a
hillside The opening of the cavern was
closed as soon as the children had entered,
and their parents never saw them again..
And so our proverbial expression, "Pay
the Piper, sprang from this legend, and it
conveys warning to all men to pay every
one his just dues, OF be on the lookout for
a revenge as cruel as that of the Pied
Piper Of Hamelin.
