New York, Dec. 4.-Harold McCann,
twelve years old. is the king of youthful
beggars of this great city. His story
developed in Jefferson Market police court
today.
Tine kaieEerbockered little mendicant was
seen knocking at the doorof Senator Flatt's

chased lItIn down the coiridor and held
him until Special Officer Forgee could

some younPster, who lived at the Fifth
Avenue. Just to frighten him. the hallboy
called the hogsekeeper, and the house
keeper, failing to recognize Harold as a
legitimate LOGGER. notified the hotel de
tective. Harold refused at first 70 give
any account of himself. When searched
at the West Thirtieth street police sta

Harold Was sent to the Gerry Society.
He told Agent Watson where he lived, and

was struck with the idea OF collecting for
the benefit OF Earold Mccain.

st. Louis, Dec. A special ca ablegramto

In spite OF the denials of the friends

oring TO negotiate with the Vatican with
a view Of his re-entry into the Catholic
Church. which he abandoned some years

his wife.
He has spent several weeks here with
his wife, looking very unhappy and i'll at
ease, and he invoked the service of Prince
odescalchi il order to submit to the
Vatican his ardent desire To return to the
fold.
The difficulty, however, lies in the eact
that lie wishes 10 revert to Roman Catholi-
cisrn, ncl as layman, but as a priest,

logne. Near the pistol was a small
dagger, bearing a similar threatening
inscription; and few feet away the
police found newspaper with car
toon grossly insulting to the president.
This contained an offensive inscrip-
ton limiting at the execution of NJ.
Faure.
When the report was heard dense
cloud of smoke rose from the thicllet
and there was CONSERVATION until it
was found that no one had been injured.
The police sprang forward, but found
the thiclIet deserted. When the crowd
saw one of the policemen holding the
bomb they jumped to the conclusion
that he was the perpetrator of the out
rage and handled him roughly, club
bing him with heavy walking sticks
and umbrellas until his comrades res
cued him, badly bruised and covered
with blood. The presidents cortege
then proceeded TO the race course. On
his arrival at the race course M. Faure
was warmly congratulated on his es-
cape by Grand Duke Zergius, M. Han
otauX and other members of the
cabinet. His sang froid will greatly
increase his popularity. 1t is rumored
that the project of police has ;nforma-
tion connecting the Paris anarchists
with the outrage, but it is generally be-
lieved that the act was the act of mad
man rather than of a conspirator. The
attempt on the life of NJ. Faure was
made on the very spot where Berez-
owsky tried to shoot the czar while
driving to the military review at Long
Champs in 1867, and where Francois, 8
lunatic, fired his revolver at NJ. Faure
on July "A last.
This attempt on the life of President
Faure is the second since his elevation
to the chief magistracy of the French
republic on January II, 1898. On the
one hundred and seventh anniversary
of the fall of the Bastile, July IA, 1896
as the president was entering the pa,
rade ground at Long Champs to review
the troops man named Francois fired
two shots directly at the executive, who
however, was not harmed.
People are commenting on the i'll

Governor of Illinois Signs Bill That In
Expected to Put S3,ooO,oOO Into Far
mers' Pockets.
Springfield, Ill. June 18.-The anti
butterine bill, which prohibits the cor
oring of butterine or oleomargarine
for market purposes, has been signed
by Gov. Tanner. The bill was backed
by the Elgin dairymen and was bitter
ly opposed by butterine makers all
over the country.
Chicago, June 16.-As a result of the
signing of the butterine bill, the man
ufacture of butterine in Illinois will
practically cease on July 1. Four firms
are engaged in the business in Chicago
and 80, 900, 900 pounds of the imitation
butter is turned out every year, on
which an internal revenue tax of two
cents a pound, or 5000, 900, is paid.
Armour 81 Co. and Swift Sc Co., both of
which firms have plants in Kansas City,
will probably remove their machinery
to that city, while G. II. Hammond &c
Co. and Braun s. Fits are expected to
move to Hammond, Ind. The closing
of the establishments here will throw
several hundred men out of work.
1t is estimated that the operation of
the new law will put So, 900, 900 yearly
into the pockets of the farmers.
