THE HOUSE.

Washington, June 1.-THE final ses-
sion of the house today was devoid of pub
lie interest. The appropriation bills had
been passed and the members simply wait
ed for the end to come. A number of
the members were made happy by the
passage of small local bills of interest to
their districts. To Gen. Wheeler of Ala
bama belongs the distinction of securing
the passage of the last bill.
Beyond little misunderstanding be-
tween Bailey of Texas and Marsh of Hi
nois the utmost good feeling prevailed:
There was an attempt by Mr.. Bailey and
Mr.. Mcguire of California to precipitate
political discussion in the last half hour
of the session, but the Republicans de-
clined the gauge of combat thrown down
to them.
The speaker closed the session with n
graceful speech in which he thanked the
members most cordially and felicitated
them on the work of the session.

HE WANTED TO SEE A HANGING.

HE WANTED TO SEE A HANGING.
The English papers are full of stories
of the late shah of Persia, some of which
are probably true. When he was visit
ing England he frequently expressed his
contempt for the mildness of the English
law. So he was finally taken to New
gate in order that he might see a gal
lows. He at once manifested great in
terest in it. says the New York Tribune,
and. expressing desire to see how it
worked, asked the governor to hang a
man. The governor explained that he
had not at the time man ready for the
experiment; whereupon the shah eX-
pressed his contempt. But he intimated
that was of no consequence. Hang one
of these" said he. pointing to his suite
each man of which probably lrembled in
his shoes. And very great. indeed, was
the shahs disgust when he found that he
could not prevail upon the governor to
do what he wanted.

brief valedictory expressing his thanks
to senators for their courtesies to him

dence will be in the house of refuge,
where he will remain for an indefinite
period
Con-" as he is called by his play
mates is n very bad boy and is school
ed i'm raScality. He has been arrest
ed for running away from home sew
eraI times on the complaint of his IA
Their. but it seems that this impriSOn-
ment did not benefit him. The boys
father did not dream, however that
he would commit an act which laid
him liable to a term of Imprisonment
in the state penitentiary.
But Blanks did not know his own
son. Several days ago the boy got
n pencil and piece of paper and in
a short while he had written a note
TO one of his fathers friends in which
it was stated that the elder Blanks
was in need of money and that it
would greatly oblige the writer if the
lucre was sent by his son. The touch
was successful. The man to whom
it was addressed sent five dollars by
the boy and afterwards told the ia
Their that he would have let him have
$50 if he had possessed it ut the time
that he received the note.
The police were told of the matter
and Com was arrested yesterday
and locked up in the First precinct
for the night This morning he was
before Judge Finnegan and he only
laughed when his father told the
Judge what he had done. The boy
was committed to the house of refuge.

panic among the inhabitants, who
rushed into the streets half dressed.

THEATRICAL MAN DEAD.

New York Oct. 17.-Henry E. Abb
hey, the well known theatrical mana
ger, died suddenly, early this morning
at the Osborne apartment, house in
this city. The immediate Clause of
his death was hemorrhage of tine

ening was taken violently i'll.
Henry E. Abbey, who was of the
firm of Abbey, SchOeffel & Grau,
started line in theatricals that was
particularly his own. He would ham
die only the greatest attractions. In
the presentation of these performers,
involving great risk, lavish display
and holiness of conception and perse-
verance of presentation, Abbey was
unequalled. To Abbey, Americans are
indebted for introducing to them
Bernhardt, Henry Irving, Patti, Jane
Harding, Mount Sully, Rejane, Beer
bOhm Tree. Melba, Calve, and many
others. He also managed the last
tour of Mary Anderson. Abbey was
born in Akron, Ohio, in 1916.
Abbey is credited with the diStinc-
ton of having restored Italian opera
in this country. In this attempt he
was associated with Maurice Grau.
Their first attempt was a DISASTROUS
failure. Abbey was an enthusiastic
yachtsman and belonged to a number
of clubs. His first wife was a Miss
Kingley. After her death he mar
ried Florence Giraud, a well known
actress, who recently sued him for
separation, on the grounds of cruelty.
Abbey's answer was that his wife was
extravagant, abusive and jealous. He
accused her Of setting the servants to
spy on him. Abbeys' daughter. Kate,
IA years old, by his first wife, de-
clared that her father always used

Chicago. Oct. 17.-An interesting
case, involving the question Of copy
right in trade catalogues is on hear
ing before the Federal Court of APP
peals. 1t is the case Of the ]. L. Mott
Iron Works VS.. Jas. B. CLOVIS & Sons.
The defendant demurred to the bill
of complainant, which alleged the in
fringement of the compliments cat
alogue of plumbers materials, by the
defendants, who it was stated, had
copied certain of the cuts from that
catalogue into their own. The de-
murrer was filed on the grounds that
the catalogue was not the subject of a
copyright under the United States
laws.
The court heard Francis Forbes, of
New York, representing the manufac-
turers on the question of the validity
of the copyrights of trade catalogues
showing the products of one manufac-
turer only, if such catalogues were
the product of intellectual effort and
that the authors of that class should
be protected as were authors of 9th
er classes of works named in the cop
wright statute, and which have been
held as proper subjects of copyright
under the law.
The further hearing of the case was
continued until Tuesday.
