I.
THIS last summer, when I was on
Il my way back to Vienna from the
Appetite Cure in the mountains,
/ fell over cliff in the twilight and
broke some arms and legs and one
thing or another, and by good luck was
found by some peasants who had lost
an ass and they carried me to the near
est habitation, which was one OF those
large, low, thatched-rooted farm
houses, with apartments in the gar
ret for the family, aud a cunning little
porch under the deep gable decorated
with boxes Of bright colored flowers
and catg; on the ground floor a large
and light sitting-room, separated from
the mich cattle apartment by a parti
ton; and in the front yard rose stately
and fine the wealth and pride OF the
hoUse-the manure pile. That sen
tence is Germanic, and shows that l
am acquiring that sort Of mastery Of
the art and spirit Of the language
which enable q man to travel all day
in one sentence without changing care
There was q village a mile away, and
a horse doctor lived there, but there
was no surgeon. Il seemed q bad out
look; mine was distinctly a surgery
case. Then il was remembered that a
lady from Boston was summering in
that village, and she vas q Christian
Science doctor and could cure every.
thing. So she was sent for. It was
night by this time, and SIZE could not
conveniently come, but sent word that
it was no matter, there Yves no hurry,
she would give me ''absent treatment"

THE MAZET INVESTIGATION,
Alleged Payment For Police Pr

Alleged Payment For Police Proteo-
tion That Did Not Protect,
New York, June when the Mazet
Investigating committee resumed its
session yesterday the first thing done
was to declare that in the future none
of the witnesses subpoenaed to appear
before the committee should be repre-.
sented by counsel. This was followed
by the excluding from the court room
of Police Captain Prices counsel, H.
G. Henderson, who created a sensation
at the previous sitting of the commit
tee last week. He was given to under
stand that If he wished to attend the
hearing 1t should be merely as a spec
tator. Later he was arrested on a
charge of disorderly conduct, and fur
nlshed $500 bail.
The committee then, In an attempt
to show corrupt practices by Police
Captain Price, in the "tenderloin" dis
trict, brought out from John G. Ellis.
former proprietor of Sixth avenue
resort, story Of protection" that did
not protect. His statement involved
ex-Alderman A. 3. Waite. Ellis stated
that Waite had collected 5000 for a
months police protection for the resort
he was running on Sixth avenue. The
payment, he said did not secure the
protection promised, and the police
harrassed him as much as ever The
witness said he was forced out Of bust
ness.
Other testimony related to the pay
ment of political assessments by can
didates for judge and to the sale of
liquors on Sunday, and alleged VIOLA
tons of the building laws by fourth
rate theater.

Miss Colepepper You don't believe me,
see But advise You to get veil

readiness.
The captain was Juggling at his fringe
Of beard. 1t was obvious that he con-
sidered the conversation frivolous The
doctor turned to him:
pardon, Colepepper for the digres-
sion. I'm enlsrging these young peo-
PIES ideas Of natural history. Where
were we when maundered off,"
"Discsssing what harbor we should
run to, doctor Is it to be this Piper's
cay Or mott 1t would do well enough if
we could make the anchorage, but tell
you candidly I'm not going to risk
picking up one of these Internal reefs
by taking the ketch in myself. If you
think you remember enough about the
spot to play pilot, then we'll chance it;
but if not, Nicholas Colepepper's not
going 10 venture his own hand this
deal"
"Colepepper, you're putting big re.
sponsibility on my shouldersl"
II know 1t, doctor. But hold no
certificate for pilotage hereabouts, and
I'm just as capable Of taking the ketch
through those reefs as that lubber Cain
Laversha would be. If shipmaster
halls pilot anywhere, he hands over
the whole responsibility of sailing his
vessel 80 long as the man is aboard and
in charge. For which, see board Of
trade regulations Section, pilotage"
The doctor took turn round the
cabin. "There's no help for 1t, he said
at last. II must attempt it. think,
trust, shall succeed"
He paused and inhaled a deep breath
Of smoke.
"Colepepper I will remember that
channel I will take the ketch through"
"That's it'' cried the captain, de-
lightedly. eff you've made up your
mind not to fail. doctor. shall have no
hesitation in handing her over to your
charge when the time comes. And now,
if you'll go on deck and see about set
ting all hands to repair damages. III
just stay to pick out course on the
chart here and follow you in couple Of
minutes We'll have her under way by
nightfall for Piper's cay"
The wind was blowing freshly from
the west northwest. The ketch took
long leg and short one, and by the
late afternoon of the next day the white
line Of surf on the outlying reefs Of
Piper's cay was visible from the third
hoop of the mainsail

( Ultimate Capture Assured.
Cheyenne, Wyo., June IA second
battle with the dynamitsrs of the
Union Pacific express train has been
fought in the mountains 40 miles north
of Casper by the sheriff's posse which
has been In pursuit since Sunday
morning, and as result ono man and
probably more are dead. The first bat
tie was fought Sunday on Teapot
creek, 80 miles north of Casper. No
one was wounded during the engage
ment, but several horses were killed.
The second battle was fought at
point ten miles farther north and in
wild country. The robbers, being
closely pursued, made desperate
stand behind some rocks in deep
ravine, and when the posse put In Al
appearance opened IRE at close range
Sheriff Joe Hazen, Of Douglas, Wyo,
fell at the first fire, being shot through
tho stomach. The officer was removed
to safe place and afterwards brought
to Casper by two cowboys, arriving at
the latter place yesterday noon. Thence
he was taken in train to his home at
Douglas, but died soon afterward.
The posse resumed the Aght a. soon
as Hazen had bsen removed, and was
successful In short time in driving
the robbers from their stronghold and
away from their horses, which were
secured. The robbers retreated to
natural fort among the rocks some two
miles away, whore. they entrenchsd
themselves and prepared for q bitter
fight. The posse quietly divided up
and surrounded the place, and when
the courier left the scene the officers
were lying on their arms, with the rob-
bers completely hemmed in. An urgent
request was sent In for reinforcements
and supply of food and ammunition.
In response United States Marshal
