CHANDLER RILED BLAINE.
Maine Senator'S Love for Practical
Jokes Was Not Welcomed.

Maine Senator'S Love for Practical
Jokes Was Not Welcomed.
Senator Chandler Is a great practical
Joker as everybody within the limits OF
his acquaintance is aware, and he once
came very near making an enemy OF Mr..
Blaine by a curious little trick he played
upon him. They had been intimate, con-
identiai friends. and Mr.. Chandler had
acted as sort OF political manager for
Mr. Blaine on several occasions. but even
that relation in Mr.. Blaine's opinion did
not justify the liberty which Mr.. Chand-
Ter took on the occasion referred 10. For
long time thereafter Mr.. Blaine showed
his resentment. and although he was
usually quick to forgive. Mr. Chandler was
never quite the same to him again. Their
intimacy and confidential relations were
never renewed.
II happened while Mr.. Blaine was In the
Garfield cabinet that Mr.. Chandler was
called to the northern part OF New Hamp-
shire on some law business. The night
was stormy. the village tavern was lonely
and the active mind OF Mr.. Chandler
CROPPED around for some form of amuse-
ment Finding nothing better to do he
prepared a practical Joke for Mr.. Blaine
In a letter to his wife he discussed with
great freedom Mr.. Biaine's political po-
sttion and policy. his treatment OF certain
Republicans and his interference with the
expressed his regret that a man OF Mr..
Blaine's strong character and great in
teilect should allow himself to be DOM
mated by a woman like Gail Hamilton, In
whose Judgment Mr.. Chandler said he had
no confidence. Adding few words about
family affairs. Mr.. Chandler signed the
letter, 'Yocr affectIonate husband and
put 1t In an envelope. which he addressed
to James G. Blaine, Secretary OF State.
Washington, d. c. Personal
OF course his idea was TO make Mr..
Blaine think he had sent him the wrong
letter. and expected Mr.. Blaine TO read It
and forward II to his wife. He thought
such an indirect way of pointing out the
errors of his public career would be re-
ceived by Mr.. Blaine with better grace
than II he addressed him directly. But the
contrary was the case. Mr. Blaine evil
IDENTIFY perceived Mr.. Chambers purpose.
for he did not forward the letter 10 Mrs.
Chandler. nor did he communicate with
Mr.. Chandler In any way for months. The
next time they met he was polite. but not
cordial, but made no aliusion 10 the letter.
His conduct gave Mr. Chandler much con-
Germ, and as Mr.. Biaine's behavior con-
tinned TO be cool and distant he decided
to have II out with him. Mr. Blaine ex-
pressed very freely his opinion of that
kind Of Jokes. but made no comment upon
Mr.. Chambers criticism. and as I have
said. never liked Mr.. Chandler so well
again.-Chicago Record.

ALLEGED D[FAlGTER CAUGHT
,. c. FULLER. TRAVELLING SALES
NAN FOn A LIouOn FIRM.


J. C. Fuller. travelling salesman for L.
Oryfooa 4 Co. wholesale liquor dealers.
was arrested yesterday afternoon by Depa-
" Sherlns Wilson and Levisee on COM
plant OF Mr.. Dryfoos. who says that Full
Ter Is short in his accounts. Fuller was
locked up in the county jail. and will prob
ably be taken before Judge Cam today.
Mr. Dryfcos said last night that he was
not prepared 10 make a DEFINITE statement
a. TO the amount of Fuiiers shortage. but
that he would probably finish the invessi-
CATION Of his books this morning
The amount az known by the officers Is
over $40. but Fuller told Deputy Sheriff
Wilson that he was certain II did not ex-
coed s50
II. Is alleged that Fuller collected money
due the company. and spent IL. without
making a report 10 the once. When II
was first discovered that something Was
wrong Mr. nryfoos called Fuller into the
ONCE. and had a talk with him. According
to the story told the ofYacers Fuller ex-
planned that he might have carelessiy
spent something like SO Mr.. Dryf,os
thought that in such a case IL would not
be difficult for Fuller TO make good the
shortage. and took no action Since then
important developments are said to have
taken place and the case came 20 a climax
yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Dryfoos had
consultation with Deputy Sheriff Wilson.
at which 1t came out that he feared Fuller
intended TO leave the city. Wilson, ac-
companied by Deputy Sheriff Levisee.
started on quiet hunt and soon located
Fuller In Sutherlands saloon on Yesler
avenue west. Although surprised at be-
ing arrested he accompanied the officers.
He told Wilson that Mr.. Dryfoos must
be mistaken In figuring his shortage more
than $500. Wilson asked him about q little
incident over at Grays haroor. and Fuller
replied that as matter OF fact he had
been on q spree, and had forgotten all
about IT,
F>uller's shortage became known through
reports TO the head Office Of accounts paid
but not accounted for by Fuller.
Mr.. Dryfoos was reluctant to proceed
against his salesman as he had previously
held him In high esteem and had implicit
confidence In his integrity
Fuller and his friends take the position
that he had no intention OF doing anything
criminal. even II he did fall behind In his
accounts.
