The Washington Saengerbund bowling
alleys were the scene last night OF one
of the most exciting and at the same
time interesting sets OF bowling games
played in the major league series this
season. The games were bowled by the
two leading aspirants for the champion

the second by 140, in game Of S66

HIS FALL CAUSED BY ENVY
A Bright Young Colored Boy
Charged With Forgery.
Obtained ii Check From Congress-
man Sprague Under False Pre-
lenses and Committed Forgery.

Because the other boys with whom he
JOHN William Barnes, bright young col
ored lad, nineteen years old, in order to
secure money with which TO purchase fine
ties, patent leather shoes aud a nobby suit
OF clothes, carefully planned a scheme to
extort money from his employers friends.
AS Il result he is now locked up i'll No. l
station upon charge of forgery.
Barnes was engaged as a bellboy about
two months ago by Mr. c. NJ Ffoulke. IL
tapestry merchant, at No. 2013 Massa-
chusttts avenue.
Mr.. Ffoulke is an invalid, and only able
to get about on crutches. The boy was
very attentive to his employers wants,
and being rather brighter than the aver
age, he gave great satisfaction and was
much liked. In a short time he was pro-
noted until he acted more as valet to
Mr Ffoulke, and assisted him in his
private affairs.
His scheme for procuring money was an
adroit one. He chose for his first victim
Congressman Sprague. of Boston, who is
one of the frequent visitors at the Ffoulke
residence, and an intimate friend of the
merchant.
Sunday morning he wrote the Congress
man very pathetic letter, telling him of
family very much in need, and how he
was asking his friends to make a small
contribution to such worthy charity.
He made no attempt to disguise his hand
writing but made it appear that he had
written the letter as Mr.. Ffoulke's secre
tary and at his instigation. He signed
his employers name to the epistle.
Yesterday at noon a letter came back
from Congressman Sprague. Barnes re-
tanned the letter and opened it., and for
this offense he is liable to be charged
with tampering with the mails, although
the charge has not yet been made.
To the young mans delight, the letter
contained check payable to Mr.. Ffoulke's
order, for $25.
The get the check cashed he imagined
would he an easy matter, as several of the
clerks recognized his face at the bank.
He made no attempt to initiate the sigma
ture of his employer, but simple endorsed
Mr. Ffoulke's name upon the back in a
plain, business hand, thinking the clerks
in their hurry would not recognize the
difference.
Shortly before the bank closed yester-
day afternoon Barnes presented the check
at the paying teller's window. and asked
for the money. The forgery was at once
detected, and the young man was told
to wait a moment In the meantime, Il
messenger was sent out to find police
man and Barnes was turned over to
Officer Cramer. He made no attempt to
escape, and frankly confessed his guilt
at the station. He said he thought Mr.
Sprague was wealthy and would never
miss the money, and so long as he did
not rob his employer he did not feel
guilty.
Mr.. Ffoulke called at the station last
night and had talk with the boy. He
is disiDclined to prosecute him, but as
Congressman sprague and the postal au-
thorities are liable to object, he is power
less to interfere.
Mr. Ffoulke was preparing to take the
boy to Europe with him this summer. He
is being held without bail.

MRS. DOMINIS' DENIAL.
She Affirms She Knows Nothing of
Secretary Porter's Note.

Sne Af1lfms she hu0Ws NOtDiuS OF
Secretary Porter's Note.
The news comes from the White House
that it's portals have been barred against
any special privileges to royalty as repre-
sented by the late queen of the Hawaiian
Islands. The statement was published yes
terday that Mr.. Porter, as secretary to
the President, had sent a note to the ex-
queen informing her substantially that she
would be received by the President as one
Of the great public, but that she could
make no date with his excellency for
private audience.
This information was submitted to ex-
Queen Liliuokalani last night by Capt.
Palmer, at the request of a reporter for
The Times. The answer was returned that
the statement was absolutely false which
was intended as closure of the incident.
Capt. Palmer said that he had always
been received at the White House with
courtesy. He had made no requests of
Secretary Porter; In fact he would not
knowthat gentlemanif he methim. When
ever be had communications for the White
House, he delivered them just as he would
dealing, say, with a newspaper office.
He delivered his comm munications and there
was an end to it. Personally, he knew
of no such communication as that referred
to from Secretary Porter to the ex-queen.
on Saturday last the ex-queen made a
pilgrimage to Mount Vernon, being accom-
panied by Capt. Palmer, her agent; Mr..
Heleluie, and her other attendants. The
party went on the electric cars in demo
cratic fashion. This was the second trip
of IililoEaIani to Mount Vernon The first
was made during the Harrison dministra
ton, when, it viii be recalled, Govern
ment vessel was placed at her service, and
she made the trip in distinguished official
company.

fore her could not divert her mind. No one
paid much attention TO her With her
eyes the sonora had signaled that the girl
wished to be left alone, but Chiquita did
not know that. She slipped away as soon
as she could, and climbed the ladder that
led to the flat, parapeted roof.
There were other girls there-girls Of
Chiquita's own age; many of them were
old friends OF hers, but she stood apart

at her feet. The scene was full of
movement and confusion; confusion made
by gal!oping horsemen. of cattle rushing
about in mad attempts to escape from

by the tossing horns Here and there the

Calves were struggling against the burn
ing irons, and believing to their mothers,
who answered them and made desperate
but vain attempts to reach and protect
them.
Chiquita was hut vaguely conscious
of the noise and movement. She was
gazing far beyond it all, searching the
desert with her eyes in the hope OF
seeing gray horse and bright serape.
All through the afternoon she watched
until the shadows grew long and the
evening breeze sent little whirlwinds
dsncing over the desert. Finally. with
one OF the last rays of the setting sun,
she saw the serape of Manuel. He was
much closer TO her than she expected
to see him, but that was because he
was on foot, and walking between two
horsemen. Once he stumbled, and re-
covering himself he turned. Then she
saw that his hands were tied behind
his hack. Some one beside Chiquita saw
the tethered figure and raised a cry that
was answered by Manuel's captors. The
cry was repeated and carried from one
to another; there were hoarse shouts in
English as well, and from everywhere men
ran and rode oward the two men and their
prisoner, surrounding them and concealing
them from Chiquita's view. Then, the
sun shot below the horizon, and in q
moment the body of men was but con-
fused, black mass. slowly coming toward
her across the plain.
