The MYSTERIOUS HAYseeo.
No Didnss Talk REach, but WHEN ne psa
he frightened the Crook.


It was while Tom Byrnes was super
intendent Of police that one day a mid
die aged man walked into popular
Greenwich street restaurant and called
for a broiled beefsteak. Men do that ev-
err day, hut this particular man wore
long hair, which was brushed behind
his ears, and had smooth face, save a
little tuft Of chin whisker he was
dressed in a gray suit and carried car
pet satcheL
There was no question that the man
was from the "rooral destrict. for one
could almost see the hayseed in his I'M
shorn locks, and his pockets We're appar-
emily bullying with corn husks. The
stranger had no more than seated him

young man entered and took a seat at
the same table. He also ordered a steak
In due time they We're served. The
countryman went to work industriouSly
and was soon enjoying his meal Not so
his vis-a-vis. The yonng man COM
planned that his meat was tongh--tough
as sole leather.
Flows yours, Stranger he asked,
mines all right. was the reply,
with nasal twang
But try as he would the young fellow
couldn't induce the other to talk with
him Finally he said it was shame TO
serve such steak. He declared he be-
lieved the cook had wiped the floor with
it, it was so full of grit
The stranger looked up, and fixing a
piercing gray eye ON the young man
quietly bat significantly remarked:
IF Byrnes knew you We're down
here, you would be eating worse steak
than that +"
The young fellow turned pale and
dropped his jaw, also his knife and fork.
His appetite seemed TO have suddenly
left him. He called for his check, paid
it and left the restaurant in a hurry.

afterward for swindling man with q

Brooch and ChateIaine.

The day of the brooch and chatelaine
for watches is over. The watch chain
again asserts itself. Watches no longer
swing from enameled flowers or jew
eled bars. Instead they are hidden
away in watch pocket, and a black
silk cord or a narrow ribbon is their
main support Old fashioned broad gold
watch chains are not yet the vogue, but
as time goes on they probably Will be.
At present silk cords in black and dark
shades areconsidered the proper thing.
Summer girls, however, are substitute
ing for the gold watch chain a narrow
satin ribbon which matches in color the
gown with which it is worn. A few ex.
ceedingly fine gold chains arc seen.

silverites Trying to Buy a Daily
Paper in New York.

New York, April 6.-Senator
John P. Jones, of Nevada, was in
the city today. He made this
statement at the Astor House:
ga delegation of silver members
in Congress headed by Senator
Pettlgrew, of South Dakota; Sena-
tor Dubois, of Idaho and Con
gresham Sibley, of Pennsylvania.
are in New York now or will be
here in day or two, two purchase
a newspaper which shall be devot-
! ed to the interests of the silver
party ond to be an exponent of its
doctrines. | am not member of
the delegation myself, but | am
heartily in sympathy with it and
realize the importance of having a
newspaper friendly to silver here
in the metropolis, where the gold
bugs are 50 powerful. The issue
of next year is to be the silver
question" went on Senator Jones
The old parties are trying to
dodge it and are appealing to ira
ditions and to sectional differences
to keep their lines intact, but they
will fail The opposition between
the North and South is legacy
from the grave with which the
older generation is trying to re-
strain the desire of the younger
element of both sections for
closer union. The old parties are
responsible for the fact that
Northerner is almost an alien in
the South, and vice versa. Sect
tional lines converge in California.
There is no North, no South, no
West, no East there. All are
Americans"
Senator Jones delegation must
have been holding star-chamber
conference somewhere this evening
for none of the men mentioned by
him could be found. Senators
Pettigrew and Dubois have fitted
in and out of New York, however,
ever since Congress adjourned,
and frequently have been seen on
the streets. 1t was rumored two
weeks ago that they were looking
for newspaper, and that they had
bid for the Press, which recently
fell into the hands of the Einsteins
The Westerners are SAID to have
offered the present owners an adj
vance of SIPS, 900 over the recent
purchase price Of $500, 900. Ru-
mors that the Recorder and Mer-
curry has been sought have also
been heard, and one story had it
that the silver syndicate would
make bid for the New York
Times. AS far as can be learned,
however, actual negotiations have
not begun.

lie with Creedon is that he has al

his last two battles were with

at Corbett's indirect dlsparagement

WHY THE MCNyMENTlS THERE
The Story of Maj. Dade and His Brave
 Compa niOn3.

Companions.
 Many visitors to West Point have wondered what was represented hy Q handsome monument of Italian Ll5.1J J,a. inscribed "Oade and His Cotaln@l-a." " The story is not told, or only casually referred to, in the popular histories, and the shaft tells nothing of the gal ian5 deeds of those whom it commenl0- rates It is futed column Of artistic design, surmounted by an eagle, from whose beak descends a wreath which gracefully entwines it. The base is square, the slabs bearing the names and inscription beng separated by miniature cannon, over which nElncr- ous stars are placed at appropriate in tervals. The names of the officers who fcll with Dade are inscribed on the slabs. But no hint is given of what they did, or when and where they ieil.
 The thrilling episode is worth re calling, says the Buffalo Commercial, especially as it occurred just ffty-nine years ago, or, to be precise, on the 28th of December, 1885. Maj. Dade and a detachment of one hundred and seven teen United States troops were within few days march of Fort King, Flor ida, when they were surprised and mas sacred by over one thousand Seminole Indians. The men were rejoicing at having almost reached the end of a long and tedious march, and were look ing forward to celebrating the New Year with their comrades at Fort King. They were suddenly attacked by the savages in overwhelming num- bers and slaughtered without mercy. Three only survived to tell tLa story. An exploration of tie battlefield, r,adc in the following February. ty GcG-r c Gen. Gaines. showed that the Gcjali:- Inent had fought to the Inst oxtt-ei-2t, ,, , and that each man Lad died at his pca.. The scene presented to the ezs,.y31:ll part was an awful one. They burit., the bodies of eight officers and n---et.,-- eight men, and a small siz-poa4dar caI,- non belonging to the conlcand, v7ll.--. was left by the Indians, was place.. vertically at the head of the coE.s2cE grave, where it remained for 1na..,g years.
 The longfcrgotten tragedy is con- memorated by the graceful shaft or the banks of the Hudson, inscribed simply to ''Dade and His Command" It was erected in 1S45.

A FAMOUS CODFISH.

An Emblem in tho Massachusetts State
 house for Over a Century.
 The famous codfsh which hangs from the base of the dome in the Maasachu- setts statehouse, and inside the old room in which the representatives used to meet, will be absent from the cham Der in the new extension which they are soon to occupy. Just why this e1n- biem, which has always attracted the notice of visitors and sometimes moved them to ridicule, should be ignored in the transfer of mova-5les from one room to the other is not explained, and, ac- cording to the New York Post, it is even said that the codfish is doomed to figure in a museum, presumably his torical. The following account of it's origin is given: ''In 1866 Charlcs ". Palfrcy, editor of the Salem Register, and a member of the house for several years, undertook to gather all the facts that could be learned about the placing or the figure in the chamber. After extensive research he found much con- corning the fish which, luckily, had been preserved. It was by MT. Pal frey's efforts that the actual facts were got from the records of the great and general court, and while many links are missing, the chain is nearly con- plete. On Wednesday, March r, 1754. John Rowe, member from Boston, moved permission to hang the codfsh ln the house as a memorial to the i'm portance of the codfshery to the wei fare of the state. The motion pre- vailed, and shortly after the emblem was placed in position, and there it has remained undisturbed through all the vicissitudes of ths years which have in tervened. Once it was painted, but it has never been taken down from the iron rod by which it is held in position. Mir. Rowe, who presented the figure 10 the commonwealth, was a well-known citizen of Boston and conspicuous patriot, being associated with Samuel Adams, James Otis, John Hancock and other leaders of the period. He was in terested in commerce and was an ex- tensive property owner along the water front, Rowe's wharf and contiguous territory being among his possessions. He died on February r, 17S7''
