IN THE CAMPAIGN
PILOT HOUSES
Latest News and Views Of Those Who Con-
duct the Political VOYAGE.

An interesting story concerning a new
contribution tn the already supposedly
large campaign fund of the Republican
national committee was circulated in pc
Htical circles in Washington Saturday
The story was to the effect that Cornelius
Vanderbilt has sent Chairman Hanna a
check for 500 900. 1t was said that this
remarkable contribution was on exhibition
in the New York office of Mr.. Hanna and
that that gentleman was calling the at
tention of his Close political friends to Mr..
VdDderbilt's generosity. As the state
ment that such gift had been made had
only been heard as a rumOr, Chairma n Ba b.
cock OF the Republican Congressional com
mittee was asked yesterday If he could
verify it, Mr.. Babcock laughed.
IL hope it is true" he said, but this
is the first have heard of it, and have
reason to think that no such good fortune
has befalleD the national committee from
Mr.. vapderbilt's Hands,
Mr.. Babcock then made an interesting
statement. He said that a delegation
from the national committee went to
call on Mr. Vanderbilt several weeks ago
for the purpose OF soliciting a campaign
contribution, and he refused the gentlemen
even the courtesy Of an audience Mr.
Babcock said this fact would hardly led
him to believe that Mr.. Vanderbilt had
since given the committee check for
100000.

doubt, though a good deal of amuse-

the letter is intended for that gentleman.

MYSTERIOUS TRIPLE MURpER.-T

MYSTERIOUS TRIPLE MURDER.-The
city of Munich is in state of great ex-
element over startling crime. The
victims were Frau Won Roos, the wild
ow OF ministerial councillor, her
daughter and an aged servant woman,
who lived in second story fiat in the
fashionable quarter, near the Cathe-
dral. All were alive on the morning
of February IA. Thereafter nothing
was seen of them, and their rooms be-
ing forced open they were found dead.
The bedrooms were in perfect order,
and there was not the slightest trace
Of violence on the bodies.
The police suspected suicide, but the
surgeons found incontestable proofs
that all had been strangled.
The police found that the apartments
had been swept clean of all money and
iewelry Frau Ross was known to pos
,essed. Various people have been ar.
rested, but it is doubtful if the criminal
will ever be discovered. The murder.
er must have entered the place about
noon, for preparations for an early din
ner were found complete. Presumably
he went first into the study, fouud
Frau Roos there and strangled her
and the servant, hearing slight noise
left her kitchen to ascertain the cause
and met the same fate. The disposal
of the daughter, who was weak epi
leptic, was an easy matter.

FINED TEN DOLLARS FOR KISS
ING

Joseph Little, thirty-six years old,
who is tea salesman in Brooklyn, was
arraigned in the Butler Street Police
Court, that city, on Friday, charged
with trying to make love to pref y
girl against her will.
The complainant was Miss Nellie D..
Crane, nineteen years old, who is pc
tite, with fair complexion, blue eyes
and long wavy curls She is member
of the Greenwood Baptist Church. at

P. S. G. E. and teacher in the Sunday

She testified that on February II Mr..
Little came to the house 10 sell some
tea. She was alone, and he found it
out. He at once began to make love,
she says, put his around her and kissed
her several times. She objected, bur
he told her it YVES oil right. He used
language, she testified, that was not
geutlemanly, and did several things
that she took exception to.
After he left she told how she had
been treated to Mr.. Albert Lewis Ly
man, who is a member Of the same
church and boards at 173 Fourteenth
street. Mr. Lyman and Miss Crane are
engaged to be married He was great
ly incensed over what she told him,
and at once penned curt letter to Lit
tie, giving him the alternative of beg
ging Miss Cranes pardon or taking the
consequences. Mr.. Little didn't reply,
SO he was arrested.
In defense, Mr.. Little denied that he
had done anything improper, but testi-
fed: II admit went there on that day
and found Miss Crane alone. | had
gone to the house before, and l simply
treated her as l had been accustomed
to treat her on the other occasions"
How was that?n asked Police Justice
Tighe.
"Well, / kissed her when went in,
and we sat together on the lounge and
chatted. Then l put my arms around
her and hugged her, and kissed her
few times and patted her on the cheek.
All was done gentlemenly and as be-
tween lovers. think Miss Crane is an
estimable young lady, and esteem her
highly. Nothing improper occurred at
ALL"
Police Justice Tighe said 81 will fine
you $40 or ten days in jail"
Mr.. Little paid the fine and departed.

INELASTIC FLOORING.

1t Has an Injurious Effect ON the
Feet OF WOrklnen.
A manufacturer says that the nature
of the floor of the shop has great
deal to do with the amount Of work
that is got out of the operative staff.
He was at once struck with the differ
ence in the apparent activity OF two
sets of men working on similar jobs
1T the wise in two rooms Of a large
shop.
One was in an old building, and the
other was in one Of recent construction.
In the former the men stood easily
and naturally at their work, and show
ed no symptom Of laundering for a
seat on the bench, while in the latter
the men were shifting their weight
from one foot to the other, throwing
one leg upon the bench at every op-
portunity, and showing every evidence
of foot fatigue. The superintendent
guessed that the difference was due to
the floors upon which the two gangs
were standing. In the old shop the
floor was of wood, springy to certain
extent, and poor conductor OF heat.
In the new shop it was OF the most
beautiful concrete, an excellent con-
ductor of heat from the feet Of the
workman, and as unyielding as granite
rock. So the benches in the new shop
were raised a couple of inches and
each man was given platform Of
wood that rested on two crosspieces at
the end, and had a slight spring to
it. The foot WEAKNESS disappeared al
most at once, and no further trouble
was experienced. Which shows that
the prettiest floor is not always the
best for the workmen.-San Francisco
Chronicle.

Tools at POmpeii.

Prof. Goodman has collected some in
teresting facts as to the tools of the
ancient Romans. 1t is marvel how
some of the Instruments and tools they
were in the habit of using could possi-
bly, have been made without such ma
chinery as we now possess. Prof. Good
man says the thing that impressed him,
when visiting Pompeii, was the resrm-
blance between many Of the nipple
ments of 1900 years ago and those Of
to-day. In looking at the iron tools
grouped together in an old factory
there, he could almost imagine he was
gazing into a modern tool shop, OK
cept for the fact that there was coat
ing Of rust on the iron. Sickles,t bill
hooks, hammers, forks, axes, spades,
blacksmith's tongs, hammers, soldering
irons, planes, shovels, ETC., are much
like those used to-day; but the most
marvellous instruments found are those
for surgery, beautifully executed,5an
Of design exactly similar to some re-
Gently patented and reinvented. In
credible as 1t may appear, the Pompel1-
ans had wire ropes Of perfect construc.
ton. Their bronzes reveal great skill
and artistic talent The bronze brazler
and kitchener had boilers at the side,
and taps for running off the hot water.
Ewers and urns have been discovered
with the interior tubes and furnaces
precisely like the arrangement now IN
vogue in steam boilers. Metal safes
had substantial locks. Many Of the
locks and keys are most ingenious, and
some very complex. The water supply
of Pompeii was distributed by means cans
of lead pipes laid under the streets.
There We're many public drinking foun-
tains and most Of the large houses
were provided with fountains, many
of them being Of very beautiful de-
sign. -

INDIANS RIDE BICYCLES.
New Field Opening Before Manufac-
turers of Wheels

New Field Opening Before Manufac-
turers of Wheels
1.-THE noble red man may vet he civ
ilized by means of BICYCLES said A..
L. Bartlett of Beatrice, Neb., at the
Regent. ''The Geo tribe have steadily
resisted all efforts to induce them to
become citizens, and their numbers
have dwindled until but few of them
remain. In fact, there are few more
Indians in Nebraska now than in New
York and Indiana. A few days ago
one of the chiefs of the Oteo tribe
visited Beatrice and became much in
terested in bicycles. The owner
thought it would be fun to let the
old Indian learn to ride, and it was
not long before the chief had mastered
the art. Then he must have wheel
of his own, and not having any money
he traded four ponies for one. He
rode it to the reservation, and next
day half dozen Indians came to town,
bringing ponies to trade for bicycles.
Ride faster. No feed they say, and
when the bicycle manufacturers learn
of this new field it is probable that
they will reap harvest, and the In
dams will lay aside their primitive Gus
toms and join the L. A. w. in a BODY
