CUYLER IS UNDER ARREST
Alexandria Abduction Case May
Develop Sensationally.
Prisoner Says Little Emma Moran
Is in York, Pale Could
Not Give Bail.

Randolph Cuyler. who was charged by
MIR. Frank c. Moran, of No. lis North
Payne street, Alexandria, yesterday, with
abducting his sixteen year-oid daughter
Emma from her home in that city. as told
in yesterdays Evening Times, was last
night taken into custody in uIrst city
Yesterday afternoon Constable VIII Web
ster, with Policeman Knight, paid a second
visit to the ha ndsome residence OF Cuyler a
short distance west OF the city. Cuyler
was at home and was Immediately ar
rested ana taken To Alexandria, where he
was locked up at police headquarters.
Tolman who occupied the building with
Cuyler, was also detained at police head
quarters.
wnen seen III his cell last night Cuyler
remarked that the whole matter was "a
farce, and did not seem to realize the
gravity OF the charge against him. When
IL was suggested that the affair could be
settled If the parents of the young girl
were advised as to her Whereabouts, he
stated that she was in York Pa, but be-
yond this he would not talk.
When the hour set for the investigation
arrived private consultation was held
10y the mayor with ConImenwealth's At
torney Marbury and Col. F. L. Smith,
who represented the prisoner.
Col. Smith asked Tor Il continuance of
the examination, and that Cuylcr be ad-
mitted to bail. The request was granted,
but the prisoner, being unable TO secure
bond, was locked up. The court officials
were not very communicative, and the
atmosphere assumed an air of secrecy
On account of the prominence of the
parties interested there viii doubtless be
a strenuous effort made to prevent the
matter being thoroughly irvcs tigated
though this can hardly be Cone in the
face of the facts which have already been
made public.
It is stated that Miss Moran left Alexan-
dria on Wednesday night, on northhound
train Oh the Washington Southern Rail-
way, and that she was accompanied as
far as Washington by Cuyler.
Mrs. Moran, the It. other of the girl, is
prOstrated with grief
MI. Frank c. Moran, the father, though
having resided in Alexandria for only "A
few years, has the esteem of large circle
of friends and acquaiutances.
Randolph Cuyler is an Engishman, anC
is reputed 70 be wealthy He occupies
one OF the h3ndsomest residences in Alex
andria county, and is engaged In bee
culture. He moves in the best society
He has lived in New York and Washington
Constable Will Webster left last night
in search OF Miss Moran, and it is be.
leved Gu yler has given the informa-
ton as to her whereabouts If she is
found in York, Pa, where the officers have
reason to believe she is, she will be brought
home today.
Cuyler is said to have received $500 on
Tuesday, the amount OF an interest held
by him in farm in Mississippi
He had expected To receive this money
last month, and had been arranging his
plans To get the young girl out of the way
ana then leave this section himself

The Tables Turned.

Alphonse Karr, the well-known
French humorist, told the following
story in a circle of friends, vouching
for its truth: He owned an estate in
the southern part OF France, and one
of his neighbors was an elderly Italian
Count, whose library was exceedingly
we'll stocked and was considered a
sight well worth seeing in that locality.
One day the witty author of ''Les
Guepes," who had not yet met his
neighbor, sent servant with card
to him, requesting the loan OF Ger.
tain book. The Count replied in
very polite note that he was extremely
sorry that he could not oblige Mr..
KarT, but that it was with him mat.
ter of principle never to loan any
books for use outside of his own
library. At the same time he invited
his neighbor to come to his house ut
any time, and his library would be at
Mr.. Karr's disposal all day. Karr,
who was anxious to obtain certain in
formation, went to the Counts house
and made notes from the particular
book in the Counts library that he
wanted.
A short time aftervard the Count
needed a sprinkler, and sent to his
literary neighbor, asking for the loan
of one. Karr, who had not forgotten
the way his request for a book had
been answered, now sent to the Count
an extremely polite note, couched in
the following terms: 81 deeply re-
gret the impossibility of obliging you
by the loan of sprinkler, but as Il
matter of principle l could not pos.
sibly allow my sprinkler to be used
outside of my garden; but if you de-
sire to use it on my own lawn | shall
gladly place the sprinkler at your dis
posal all day. "-Philadelphia Record.

2 Every political campaign has its pc.
culiar superstitions. These supersti-
tions are often powerful agents in
bringing men to the polls and serve to
win votes where logic proves inef-
fectual. When Franklin Pierce en-
tered the Presidential race some forty
years ago, relates the Atlanta Consti.
tuition, it was discovered that his
initials, "F. P.," we're identical with
those OF fourteenth President. In like
manner it was also found that the let.
tiers composing bis full name mum.
bered exactly fourteen. As the Presi.
dent to be elected was the fourteenth
in regular succession, this startling
discovery had q most potential effect
upon the campain.

Horned Toads Are Useful.

"The ugliest and yet most useful
things in California are horned toads,"
said A. L. Mason, OF Los Angeles, at
the Shoreham. "lhey are by no
means pleasant to look at, and the In
dians formerly held them in sacred
veneration. The people of California
do not regard them very highly, and
they are killed whenever found by
many who imagine that they are ven
omous, which is not tho case. The
Hawaiians, however, know their value,
and President Dole has written to diff.
ferent sections of California to arrange
for having several thousand sent to
Hawaii for the purpose of destroying
certain insects. Careful investigation
has shown that they are exceedinly
valuable for this purpose, and there is
now a good deal of talk about preserv.
ing them more carefully in California. 4"

A Crack Shot.

''Out our way we are apt to think
that an Eastern man cannot shoot u
pistol" said H. Il. Jenkinson, of
Cheyenne, at the Metropolitan, "but
1 had one experience at Laramie that
concinced me this idea is incorrect.
A finely dressed young man stepped
into saloon to get drink, where o
lot of cowboys were having a good
time. The sight of the 'tenderfoot'
was the signal fer some fun, and half
a-dozeu pistols were drawn just to
scare the man from the States. The
stranger wore a silk hat, and the cry
went up, shoot the tile The man
turned with his glass at his lips and
without a tremor drew a pistol from
his coat pocket. By the time the
drink was swallowed six pistols lay on
the floor; he had shot every one of
them out of their owners hands. They
crowded around him, and the tender
foot was not allowed to pay for any
thing that night. Washington Star.

New Use for Glass.

Somebody has been experimenting,
and finds that glass 10 q substitute for
marble and granite in cemetery work.
Glass gravestones are Inexpensive, ex-
tremely durable and almost without
serious objection Of any kind. They
are not porous, therefore will absorb
no disease germs or unpleasant odors.
The elements have practically no ef-
feet on them, aud it is said that in
scriptions placed on them will be
everlastingly enduring, and after a
couple of centuries will be as fresh
aud bright as on the day they were
set up. This idea was developed by
watching the wear OF the glass in the
port holes of steamers. This resists
the heaviest shocks of the waves, and
is more durable than any other known
substance that can bo used for this
purpose.

A Towns Queer Name.

''I think the name of my town is
one of the most euphonious l ever

Lincoln was, at one time, frequent

cases of trouble among the railroad
men that had given it rather "A hard
name, which reminds one of how it
came to get name at all. The owner
of the land before the place was
laid out did not possess much learn

Hence, when he concluded TO start a

him to suggest a name of some famous

THE TRYST.

The cleaning stars. the dreaming stars,
She waits beside tho pasture bars
Till down the path pass, o.;
And all the whispers Of the airs,
The shifting airs, tho drifting airs.
Are freightod with tho angels prayers
To guard my little lass, o.
Her eyes are like n summer sea,
A heaviIig son, Rrleving sea,
And, ah, their light is all for me,
And all for me her love, o:
As waiting there amid the gloom,
The darkoning gloom. the hearkening gloom
She breaths the evenings faint perfume
That broods the fields above, o.
oh, Margery, my tile love,
My nearest love, my dearest love,
Soft-eyed and gentle as a dove,
Across the fields she trips, o;
And, ah, the a'l-enthralling charm,
The captured charm, the rnptured charm,
To feel her hand upon my arm
And touch her dewy lips, o.
Beside the bars with shining eyes.
With youthful eyes, with truthful eyes,
The listening vastness OF the skies
Bends low TO see us meet, o;
rill up the lane she goes from me,
She starts from me, she parts from mc,
And all the grasses bow TO see
And kiss her passing feet, o.

Fresh Mater Pearls.

"The business of finding fresh water
pearls is not altogether what it has
been represented in the newspapers,
said j. O. Adams, of Knoxville, Tenn.
at the Shoreham. "lhe existence of
pearls along tho Clinch and Holston
Rivers has always been known, but it
has only been within the past two or
three years that it was supposed they
were o' any value. The first intima-
tion that they were marketable came
in an article describing similar pearls
found in the Miami River in Ohio.
Then pearl fishing took a sudden
boom, and everybody seemed to think
they would get rich. For time pearls
were brought into Knoxville in large
quantities, but the prices were not SO
large as was expected. Still the busi-
ness was profitable enough to induce
those without steady employment TO
devote their time to it. Now, those
easily obtained are almost all gone. 1t
would not pay to go to much expense
getting, so the pearl boom is rapidly
dying out. Washington Star.

Canaries FrOm Germany.

Harper's Round Table, speaking OF
the trade carried on by Germany in
the rearing and exporting of canaries,
says that the largest establishment in
the world for the breeding of these
creatures is situated within the
domains of that Empire, away up
among the Hartz Mountains of Prussia.
From this and the few surrounding
but much smaller nurseries, no fewer
than l30, 900 birds are despatched
every year to the United States ana
Canada; while in the same time al
least 1000 60 TO Great Britain an0
about 1000 go to Russia,
