The man in question used to say he knew
the way of the world as a cat knows its
own kittens, and laugh at the wiles Of those
who live on their wits.
He had been eeonomizing at every turn
for long time, saving all that he could,
for the holidays were near at hand. He.
left his station the other night in the teeth
of blizzard. The buses had stopped run
ming, and he buttoned his coat collar about.
his neck with a determination to walk
home rather than squander the price of a.
cab.

it.. Glad of the opportunity"
Now, it was horrible night, and he was
using another mans carriage so he could
not do less than to treat the driver and.
give him cigar to keep his nose warm. At.

presided at the plenary session of the
international peace conference yester-
day to place the final seal upon the
labors of the first committee. The
first point of NJ. Van Karnebeck's re-
port, dealing with prohibition of drop
ping explosives from balloons was
unanimously agreed to-,
The second point, prohibition of the
use of asphyxiating projectiles, was
ngreed to by all except the United
States and England, whose abstention
nullities the agreement of the others.
The third point, which relates to ex-
panding bullets, occupied the major
part of the sitting, owing to the ques-
ton of the dum-dum bullets used by
the British army. Sir Julian Paunce-
fote expressed regret that the plenary
session had been so suddenly sum-
moned, as the British government had
intended to make statement regard

portant speech in opposition to pro-
hibition of such bullets as the dunn

zier's proposal, but ii was rejected by

Columbus, July 2O.-J, w. Dusen-
bury, the director of public safety,
who was impeached by the city coun-
I'll Monday night, is still fulfilling the
duties of his Office, in spite of the coun-
ellis action. Mayor Swartz refuses to
state what his attitude in the case will

tgation. The council declares that
If he supports Dusenbury he will be
impeached. 1t seems to be the gen.
eral opinion of the lawyers here that
the council was too hasty in deposing
Dusenbury without giving him hear
ing, and that its action would not hold
good if carried into court.

COMEDIAN WAS REvENeEp.
BY Mean Trick on the Prompter He
Spoiled the Leading Mans Scene.


A merry war of words between the.
leading man and the comedian of a
Vienna theater resulted in the latter
vowing eternal hatred to his rival, and
dire vengeance at the first opportu-
nifty.
The prompter at this theater is an
old lady, whose ceremOnious dignity
and courtly manners have earned for
her the sobriquet OF Frau Hofrath--
in" The comedian elaborated q.
scheme to be revenged upon his en-
emy, and the prompter was the me-
dium he employed for carrying it out.
The leading mans memory was none
of the best, and he always placed great
dependence upon the prompter, who.
was very friendly to him. One scene
in the second act, long and difficult
scere, always demanded from the.
prohpter her closest attention.
Che evening, the fatal night, she had
cliihbed the narrow staircase into her
box, staircase so narrow that it was.
impossible for her to turn, and she was
always forced to make the descent
backward. The first act passed off
without mishap, and the famous love
scene, in which the leading man need
ed her assistance so greatly, had COM
menced when terrible thing hap
pened.
Some one had climbed the narrow
stairs and had started to cut off the.
buttons of the old lady's boots. A
struggle between modesty and profes-.
sional duty ensued.
She tried to get her feet out of the.
way in vain; she struck out at haphaz-
ard, still in vain. In the meantime she
had lost the thread of the dialogue, and
the poor leading man was plunging.
wildly in confused sentences; the hero
ine was also completely at sea, and
the curtain was rung down amid a
storm of Indignation from the gods in,

"Gen. Otis in u dispatch under date

They then demanded the privilege to
send without reservation facts found
by them and their opinion. This was
granted If public interests were not
imperriled The answer was not
satisfactory. and they therefore sent
by mail to Hong Kong. Otis says he
is not conscious of sending misrepre-
scntations, but thinks that his dis
patches at times have been too con-
servative. The press affair appeared
to be a threat. When the correspon-
dents were asked to be informed
wherein Gen,Otis' dispatches were mis-
leading they offered nothing tangible
except that his conclusions were un-
warranted.

that the charges made, by the press

Col. Robert G. IngersoIl, the Famsus

Home.
New York, July 22.--Robert &. In

Ferry, Friday. His death was sudden
and unexpected and resulted from the
heart disease from which he suffered
since 1896. In that year, during the
republican national convention, he was
taken i'll and had to return home. He
never fully recovered from the attack
and was constantly under the care of
physicians. For three days Mr.. In
gersoll had not been feeling well.
Col. Ingersoll spent the morning
swinging in hammock and sitting on
the veranda with the members of his
family. He said he was better and
had no pain. At 1890 he started to
go up stairs. On reaching the head
of the stairs Col. Ingersoll turned into

they would have for luncheon, and
Col. Ingersoll said he had better not
eat much. He seemed in good spirits
then. After talking for a few min
utes Mr.. Ingersoll crossed the room
and sat down in rocking chair. He
leaned his head upon his hand, which
rested on the back of the chair. Mrs.
1ngersoll asked him how he was feel
ing and he replied "0h, better"
These were his last words. A Sec
end after they were uttered he was
dead. The only sign noticed by Mrs.
1ngersoll was that the whites of his
eyes suddenly showed.
Robert G. Ingersoll was born in
Dresden, n. Y, August IL, 1898. His
father was Congregational clergy

persecuted for them, and in his earlier

lucrative law practice. In 1869 he
became captain of the Eleventh Illinois

tended TO all parts of the country.
