He boarded with Mrs. C. Millen at the
house above mentioned, and received
per sion Of $50 a month from the govern
ment for wounds received in the late war.
Mrs. Millen attended church this morning
at st. Aloysius' and on her return found
her son with Kelly in the kitchen, the lat
ter sitting in a chair and apparently more
dead than alive. Mr.. Millen informed his
mother what had occurred, and together
they succeeded in carrying the old man TO
the dining room. When asked what was
the matter he could not speak. and SEEM

Only wound that could be discovered was
a slight cut on the back of the neck A
doctor was hurriedly sent for. and he di-
rected that the man be sent to Providence
Hospital. Accordingly the patrol wagon
was called and Kelly was removed to that
institution. where he died a few minutes
after his reception.
Mrs. Millen stated that Kelly was not
a hard drinker, but that he had been
orifkiTg more or less during the past two
weeks. Yesterday, however, he seemed to
be really making an effort to stop, and by
evening had succeeded in Strengthening up

were black boys and white boys and mu-

were such strangers to water that 1t was
difficult to tell the blood that flowed be-
hind the skin. They began to gather early
at 7th street and Market space-at "Saks'
corner"-and pressed their noses against
the door glasses in a vain attempt to see
what was inside. Most every boy had a
ticket bearing his name and address and
"a printed piece" as one little fellow called
it, showing that the bearer was entitled to
an tvercoat or REFER by presenting 1t at
Saks & Company's Christmas morning.
When the 7th street doors of the big estab-

youngsters were admitted in groups of
four or five at a time and alert clerks
quickly fitted them out in warm overcoats

To Make improvements Mt Head
quarters for Visiting Detectives.
Soon after the holidays the money avail
able for improvements in police headquar
ters will be expended, as Major Moore and
II spector Hollinberger are anxious to have
the offices present as neat an appearance
and be made as comfortable as possible
for the detectives Who will come here from
other cities to assist in handling the big
crowd at the inaugural proceedings. In
order to have the offices fitted up for this
occasion Inspector Hollinberger has made
the old carpets do for the present, and has
done without the usual fall cleaning and
upholstering. When the improvements are
made after the holidays the detective office
especially will look like an entirely new
place, and every effort will be made to
make the visiting detectives comfort BILE
During the past celebrations some trouble
has been experienced in securing quarters
at reasonable rates for the men because, as
a rule, they come here after a great many
guests have arrived and when the quarters
in the big hotels have been taken This
time it is likely that this trouble will be
avoided, for the local police will probab bly,
nake arrangements far in advance of the
inauguration for the visitors
At this inauguration the police will fol-
low the plan adopted years ago of hay-
ing some of the best detective material in
the country here to protect the crowds
from the operations of the members of the
Gght-fingered gentry. Four years ago sew
eral hundred special policemen were en-
plcyed, in addition to local private de-
tectives and those from other cities The

robbed James Sprucebank, machinist
who lives at AIS d street southeast, of a

nccence, but he showed fight. and attempt
ed to get rid of the alleged stolen property
The officer and prisoner figured in an ex-
citing fight for few minutes, but Perry
was finally worSted and was taken to the
station and locked up. Then he claimed
that he had found the watch and chain
The affair caused some excitement about
Walford's store, and attracted large
crowd. Sprucebank was also arrested and
held as a United States witness
