The men arrived there early, and about
10 O'Clock they had the scaffolding hang

the guy ropes from above were attached,
was a fraiI affair which had been in use

both of these were incapable of holding the
weight of one man, let alone that of two

LOST HIS INCOGNITO.
This Statesman Reckoned Without
His CoIored Friond.


His CoIored Friend.
Like royalty, statesman came 10
town recently incog., writes a Wash
ington correspondent OF the New
York Tribune. lie is regarded as
the natural prey of newspaper men
and his name occurs frequently in
the daily columns, but he wished to
transact some private and important
business, and realizing that TO keep
1t private it must not be known that
he was in town, he went to hotel in
the suburbs and registered under an
assumed name.
After he had registered Oct his
name be Mr.. ScotO, he went ont un-
der the trees to enjoy his incognito,
but 1t was only for few brief mo-
ments, for a colored porter came up
and said:
"IIow dye do, Mr.. Scott?"
"Who in the devil told you my
name was Scott?" asked that worthy.
"Why, Mister Scott, / knows yo
like yo waz my dady. Amt / dun
worked fer yo out at 20 fact'y in In
jianny? This mig dun had too many
OF you 80 cents to forgt yo' name,
Mister Scott"
That's all right" said Scott, TAX
ing crisp green bill out Of his pock-
ct, "but, Sam, I've got some very
important business on hand and I
don't want anyone to know I'm here.
SO you take this, carry up my valise
to my room, and don't you say a word
about my name being Scott"
Fright you are, sah," and Sam
was of. "IIerc, yo'," said he to the
clerk in the office. GIVE me Mr..
SCOTS things dar"
Mr.. SCOTS things are not here"
said the clerk. "These coats and
that yalise belong to Mr.. Van
Duscn."
Deed they don't, boss. Dose dar
things belong to Mr. Scott, from out
in lnjianny, bcs' white man this Mig
gar ever knowed, but he dun tell me
he have some very important busi-
ness on hand an he don't want no one
ter know bout it so he dun writ some
highhutin' name on dc book, but he
Mr. Scott all right"
In an hour Mr.. Scott was inter-
rupted by a reporters card, and in tie
papers next morning there was a col
umn and a half about him and his
presence in town. lie was also the
subject Of leading editorial, and no
ono darcs to mention incognito in
his presence. As for Sam. it's dollars
