THU RSD-A Y
DECIDEDLY CLOSE.
A Bullet just Misses Mr.. Riley's
Head.

About 5 O'Clock yesterday evening
there was very close call to tragedy
in this city. The following are the facts
as told on the witness stand in thee exam
ination of the defendant before Justice
Freerksen this forenoon.
Several men went to the barn of Mr..
Peter Riley near his residenc in the third
ward for the purpose of having a rooster
fight. among them being Harry Barr and
William Limerick, Jr. About the same
time Mr.. Riley arrived home with a
horse and took it to the barn, taking off
ms coat to go to work, placing it just in
side OF the barn. limerick was commits
ing nuisance on it when Mr.. Riley re-
quested him to quit and asked him to get
out OF the barn. Barr came forward and
said he wouldn't dare order him off the
place and treat him in that wav, Mr..
Riley stepped up in a gentlemaniv way.
and taking hold OF his shoulder requested
him also to get off the place, when
Barr quickly pulled revolver and level
ing 1t at Mr.. Riley's head pulled the trig-
ger, and the ball sped past his head and
very close going probably just past the
corner OF the barn, they were on the out
side. Mr.. Riley stated that he thought
he was hit at first and it felt almost as if
the ball had gone in his ear. He then
jumped inside the barn as Barr again
leveled the revolver. The men with him
then induced him to leave and he went
out of the lot, but started back nearly
hall way across the lot. declaring he
would kill him before he left, and calling |
him names. He was induced to stop
though and came up street with two OF |
the young men. Mr.. Riley's testimony |
was verified by three of the men who |
witnessed the affair.
At this point, by his attorney, the de-
tendant waived examination and was
held by7Justice Freerksen under 5000
bonds to await the action of the grand
jury.
Being unable TO get bail the deiendent
was taken to jail.

Herr Strauss Eccentricities.

Writing of the eccentricities of Herr
Strauss, the dance music composer, a
Vienna writer says be is as nervous as a
composer as be is director. Clad in a
velvet costume, with patent leather boots
reaching to his knees, his eyes afiame
and in a fit of inspiration, he goes strid-
ing through the house like maniac. If
inspiration does not come TO him in the
salon, he clutches his papers and goes
to his bedroom or to his wife's boudoir
Sometimes the waltz begun in the par :
lor is finished in the kitchen. Nine.
Strauss, who appreciates and under
stands her husbands habits, has half a
dozen pianos scattered through the
house, and in each room table with
writing materials, SO that in whatever
nook her husband finds himself he is
quite at home. Nine. Strauss was once
a favorite actress on the Vienna stage.

Rubber Bends.

Rubber lands have supplanted twino
to great extent in the last few years, y
observed salesman in drug store as
he slipped band around a cent pack
age of sodium bicarbonate. Cup to ten
years ago rubber bands were seldom
seen outside of a courthouse or law
yer's office, and their use was confined
almost exclusively to the filing of court
documents and papers. Now you find
them everywhere. Bands are used on
all small packages in drug stores, and
they have become an important factor
in the grocery business. They answer
the same purposes as Irvine, and are adj
justed much easier.
sit may not be generally known that
rubber band is the best tooth cleaner
known. 1t can be forced between the
teeth, no matter how close together,
and it removes accumulations that can
not be reached with toothbrush. Yes,
the rubber band has come to stay. l
don't know to what extent it has hurt
the Irvine industry, but it must be con-
siderable. "-Philadelphia Record.

Ancestors.

A family tree is la good thing to have,
and that the descendants Of the pilgrim
fathers, of the Puritan preachers, Of
the Revolutionary sires, the colonial
danes, should come to the front every
little while and impress the fact Of
their lineage upon people is rather
pleasing than otherwise. 1t adds GER
tain repose to the rush of everyday life
It may, however, be carried too far
Apparently it Is carried too far in New
York, where in certain circles it
amounts almost to monomania. Wo-
men to whom one is introduced cannot
chat for five minutes without leading
the subject to ancestors, and IL the
stranger never happened to have had
any the result is most embarrassing,
even distressing; hence those persons
given over to conversing entirely on the
family tree, etc., should be cautioned to
become milder advocates of tho neces-
sity of long line of ancestors, for they
are fast forming class which is OBJ.
noxious to intelligent, self respecting
human belngs.-New York Times.

Meaning of Protocol.

Like many other English words de-
rived from other languages, protocol"
has long since lost its original meaning.
1t is derived from the Greek 'protos, F"
meaning first, and "kollan, meaning
glue, and meant originally sheet glued
in front of manuscript, bearing the
writer's name and other particulars
From this the meaning evolved into
that of rough draft of a document and
was so used by the Romans, who called
it "protocolium. The definition of the
word as used in modern diplomacy is
given as rough draft of any document
or document preliminary to some
transaction. 1t likewise is defined as "a
diplomatic document or minute of pro-
ceeding signed by friendly powers in
order to secure certain diplomatic ends
by peaceful means"
