He Rode n Bike Too Fast in Central
Park.
The blotter Of the MacGowans Pass tay-
ern subpolice station in Central Park, New
York. bore this entry last night:
Arrested by Officer Michael ]. Sweeney
Duke of Marlborough. twenty-three years
old; resident of England; no occupation:
single; temporary residence, Plaza HOTEL
charge, violation CT park ordinance Rep
rimanded and discharged by Roundsman
Ryan,"
Thus briefly and officially is recorded the
arrest of the young Duke of Marlborough
who IS to wed Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt.
There Is an ordinance which forbids
wheelmen from riding faster than eight
miles an hour in the park or from coasting
down hill. The duke didn't know this when
he swung his feet over the handle bar and
went sliding down the road to 1O4th street.
Oficer Sweeney gave chase overhauled the
young nobleman, informing him that he
was under arrest.
Said the duke: This is an outrage. 1 am
the Duke of Marlborough. How dare you
insult me In this unwarranted manner
officer Sweeney thought the young man
was imposing upon him and flippantly re-
piled: Il don't give a - who you are"
The duke exhibited his card, but was
compelled to accompany the officer to the
station, which he did under protest He
said that he was ignorant of the law, and
offered to pay any fine that might be i'm
posed. After hearing both sides of the
case, Roundsman Ryan told the duke that
he had been clearly guilty of violating one
of the parks most stringent rules. and.
with a few words of caution, released him
from custody.
Inc duke refused to be interviewed last
night. but his secretary said that he re-
sarded the proceeding as gross outrage

A THRILLING SCENE,

Star Spangled Banner" one verse of which
Is as follows:
Fling it out to the breeze; let 1t tell to the
world
That the faith which has raised it will
never surrender;
Let it tell that the love which our banner
unfurled,
Is the guard of the home and the nations
defender.
Let it CLEAN as a star, for the shipwrecked
afar,
Like reacon that warns of the treacher-
Gus bar;
Let that banner of freedom and purity
wave,
AS a signal of hope midst the perils we
brave.
Just before singing the song, Mrs Bald
win stepped on the stage. bearing a large
white silk flag. with a gold star, as Miss
Willard said, for each one of the fifty
states and territories in which the w. c.
T. U. is organized"
While the audience sang. led by Mrs.

Miss Willard and waved the flag. Mother

Greetings were read from Lady Henry
Somerset of England. who could not be

Mrs. Katharine Lent Stevenson, correspond

1T STRUCK THEIR FANCY.

A Handsome Washington Improve
ment Will BE Duplicated In Pittsburg.
Two well-dressed. alert men were walk
ing briskly down 7:h street this morning
looking at everything. when both came to
a stop, as if of one accord, in front of Mr..
Charles Baum's establishment.
There" calculated one. that is what
We lave been looking for
Yes" said the other in a tone of warm
approval 'it meets my ideas to T."
Star reporter. overhearing the CONVEX
sation, wondered what it was that COM
manded their attention. The immense show
windows f1anklng the broad and imposing
entrance to Baum's big store contained a
profusion Of attractive articles that would
have caused a couple of women to have
paused and INDUCED in admiration, but it
was curious to see two big men going into
cordial expressions Of satisfaction over
them. To be sure the cloaks and wraps,
the laces and ribbons. the kid gloves and
hats and bcnnets behind the big sheets of
plate glass would have inspired the ap-
prevail of anyone, male or female, but that
two men would decide upon some certain
thing without indicating it, and each evil
IDENTIFY knowing what the other meant, was
out OF the ordinary. 1t turned out that
the gentlemen were Pittsburg business
men and that the novel and striking en-
trance to Baum'S was what struck their
fancy.
There is no more striking front in the
country than this" said one of the stran-
gers, land 1t is artistic as well as COM
modious. The bevel arrangement of the
front part of the windows and the square
construction at their rear gives an op-
portunity for display seldom found. Then
the division at the top. which gives
chance for the exhibition of forms upon
which to show corsets. shirt waists, and
other upper body garments Is novel and
useful. The whole effect Is heightened in
an artistic seEse by the mosaic paving,
over which one walks to the door. Indeed,
1t makes altogether one of the most strik-
ing and attractive store fronts have ever
seen. Mr.. Baum Is evidently a progressive
and enterprising merchant"
He was confidently assured that visit
to the interior would still further heighten
this correct impression of Mr. Baums
methods.
1t is probable that one Of the biggest mil
linery and dry goods establishments in the
smoky city will shortly be provided with
an entrance arranged as nearly as possible
like that to Mr.. Baum's store.

its graceful outlines against the night with
remarkable effect. A iine display of fire.

city during the evening. The cheering was
hearty and continuous when Emperor Will

ex-EmpreSs Frederick, toward the conclI-

Taxing Income. in South Carolina

In the South Carolina constitutional con-
vention yesterday an amendment was
adopted to the article on taxation providing
for the imposition of a graduated tax on
incomes. The proposition to impose a per
capita tax on dogs caused more discussion
than any other question of the day. SEN
ator Tillman wanted to tax every dog 81,
the proceeds to go to the public schools,
but the convention refused to adopt this or
any other amendment having the taxation
of dogs in view. A bill to compel banks to
pay municipal tax on their capital stock
was defeated, as the stock is supposed to
be returned by the shareholders.

BOOMING HIMSELF.

Since the return of Senator
Blanchard to Louisiana he has
never missed the opportunity to
tell the people of his state how
the bounty was secured with the
idea of getting some of the credit
for it. He tells them how it was
a long and tedious fight, and how
the victory was won.
We are not ready to accord any
credit for the portion of the boun-
ty that will be paid to the planter
to Blanchard, Csffery or any of
the Louisiana delegation, if the
planter gets anything he owes it
outside pressure and influence.
The only credit We can give to
our Senators is the defeat of the
McKinly bill that brought down
the bounty clause with it, and as
one of our exchanges puts it, they
have helped our ruin by robbing
us of our just claim-a bounty OF
2 cents-and now bragg upon the
restoration of less than half of the
stolen property.
1t is useless for these high off.
Gals to try and impress upon the
minds of the people of Louisiana
the good work they have done, oul

blow, his brother attorneys had

Cotton Conventions.

In the next few weeks cotton
conventions will be held in most
of the Southern States. Georgia
began its State convention at At
lanta yesterday, while the Texas
farmers will meet at Waco March
%. Both of these meetings are
held under the auspices OF the
American Cotton Growers Asso-
citation, for the purpose OF uniting
the farmers and of carrying out
the policy of reduced acreage.
| March is the month appointed for
the several State conventions, for
the very obvious reason that it is
season when the paintings begins,
and it is important to have the
acreage question determined then.
These State conventions will
give us an insight into the strength
of the cotton farmers move
ment, and whether the plan OF re-
ducing acreage has been fully car
) ried out or not. The organization
of the county committees was re-
quired first. We have had grea
