A QUEER EXPERIENCE.
How Possible Marriage Was Pre-
vented BY n Burglary.

How n Possible Marriage Was Pre-
vented BY n burglary. /
II had a queer experience once with. a
burglar" said Nebraska merchant, on
his way to New York to buy goods.
For the past Is years have been
making several trips year to New
York, and this incident occurred about
ten years ago. I had metSasv very intel
ligent and interesting woman in the
city, a widow, of an age suitable Tor
me, and as I was widoWer had
made up my mind If liked her as
we'll when saw her again as had for
the two weeks I had lived m the same me
boarding house withshef Guild pegln
Eiousl ~
interested me and as she seemed to#bel
a nice woman, and had two boyssWt ol
needed a good woman's care, thought,
she might interest my boys as well.
She had given me her photograph, and
I had it with me on the trip to let her
see, if necessary, that liked to have
her around. On my way stopped over
one night in Chicago with a brother I
had there, and during the night my
room was entered by a burglar. He
must have been very smooth one, for
I never heard a thing, and only knew
he had been there by finding my money
and watch and jewelry and papers done
up in a package and left on the bureau
Nothing was missing as far as coulo
discover, except the photograph, which
1 had left in a handsome leather frame
on the bureau. Frame and photograph
were gone, anG pinned to the mirror
was a note, in a good, legible hand
which read as follows: !
"'Dear Sir: Whoever you may be,
pardon the liberty have taken in COM
ing unlimited into your room. I have
taken with me nothing but a photo
graph of my mother. Don't tell her.
POSSIBLY the hand shook when it
wrote the note, but if it did could not
detect it in the writing. Evidently,
though, it was genuine, for the burglar
had left nearly 81, 900 worth of stuff that
he could have taken with the photo
graph. In any event did not mention
the visit of the burglar to my brother,
and he had not disturbed any other
part of the house, my room probably
being the first, and the photograph
saving all the others. Neither did
say anything to the widow about the
burglar or about the other matter,
either. I was just as polite as ever, but
it ended there. Incidentally I spoke to
her one day about my boys, and she
said she had boy somewhere in the
world, but he had run away from home
| when he was 16, and she had not seen
him in seven years, or heard Of him
There were tears in her eyes when she
spoke, and felt little odd about the
eyes myself, but kept my secret. I'm
| telling it now because she died about

VINO IS TO BLAME :?
POLICE OFFICERS RESPONSIBLE
FOR SO-CALLED RIOTS.
President NnhOn Says That They are
hut Incidents Connected to IL
Strike in any Large City-St. LOu-
IL Policemen Adapt Tactics Of
French GenalarmcS to Dispense
American Crowd.

Every day for the last two weeks
press reports claim that the city of st.
Louis has been a bed of laWlessness
through the present street car strike.
The strikers are blamed for the law
less element who surround them in
cases of this kind. In reply to this,
President w. D. Mahon, of the Anal
gamated Association of Street Railway
Employees, says in an interview that
the so-called riots 'are but incidents
connected to strike in any large city,
and are not chargable to the union.
The frequent hold-ups and robberies
are also incidents to the same condi-
'tiOns. The same class Of men who take
advantage of occasions of great pub
lie strain to commit acts of laWless-
ness, under the guise Of sympathy for
the union men, are the same class who
take advantage of the absence Of pa
trolmen from dark street corners and
tough places, and, lying in wait, way
lay and rob worthy citizens, or who
ever has anything worth taking. Let
us has good deal less of this daylight
clubbing Of innocent citizens while in
pursuit of their regular business, and
real perpetrators Of unlawful acts, both
day and night.
The Labor Compendium says, in an
|sWer to a communication on the disor-
der at St. Louis:
THE accounts in the outside press
relative to riot and bloodshed were
grossly exaggerated. True, there has
been shooting, and three lives have
been destroyed, but the latter, and by
far the greater part of the former has
been done by the incompetents and
|irresponsibles brought to this city from
the by-ways and slums of other cities.
Several lively scrimmages, that might
be termed riots, have been precipitate
by the fool acts of bullies and numb
skulls wearing policemen's uniforms,
and when we come to review the whole
matter carefully we only wonder that
the public has been as submissive as it
has and as patient under repeated and
gross abuse Of power; We even wonder
that the so-called riots have not been.

GRAIN at: BUFFALO
GRAIN TRADE APPARENTLY BEING
DIVERTED FROM THERE.
Labor Troubles Mt Buffalo Cannot he
Blamed for This Pennsylvania
Railway Interests Are Rusily at
Work Chicago Reports Much
Grain Going by Canadian Routes
New York Olse Losing Trade.

BUFFALO, May 3O.-It is an open
question at this port whether or not
the grain trade is being Wrested from
the Buffalo route. For the past couple
Of weeks but few grain boats have az
rived here, while many are going to
Erie and Fairport, diverted there by
the Pennsylvania railway interests.
Chicago reports that many grain car
goes are going by Canadian routes.
That is the situation. Whether or not
it will continue is a matter of coniect-
ure. There are strikes at Buffalo, but
the grain handlers are under seasons
contract to attend to business, and the
freight handlers who are on strike on
the railways have nothing to do with
loading the grain into cars. Therefore
the divergence of grain from Buffalo
cannot be accounted for by labor
troubles.
New York to Blame.
1t seems probable that the blame lies
at New York harbor. The export grain
and produce trade at that port is de-
Cling and going to other ports, and Of
course Buffalo's grain trade is propor-
tiOnately affected. The managers of,
the Canadian routes are increasing
their grain business every year. but not
SO largely as to account for the slump
in the grain trade at this port.
The Montreal Route r
will not be a factor in the competition
until next year. Just now the Pennsyl-
vania Railway company is doing con-
siderable plunging in the acquisition of
more track mileage and feeding terri;
tory, and doubtless wants the earnings
to show up as large as possible It
is probable that the large quantity of
grain being diverted to Fairport by the
Pennsylvania can be accounted for
through the persistent rumors of heavy
rate cutting by the railways. Before
the end of another month Buffalo will
know whether or not she has been side.

who adopt the tactics of French gen.
darmes in dispensing crowd of Amer
lean lcitizens who are very. much op-
posed to that kind of treatment as will
be seen in the following:
At recent meeting of union labor
presidents, secretaries and delegates at
Walnalla hall, one of the latter related
scene that had occurred the day be-
fore in the north part of the city and at
hearing which every man in the ssem-
bly, felt his blood boil.
Some mischief makers had played
pranks upon the Transit company with
the result that car had been derailed.
| before it could be replaced other cars
came that way and soon a half dozen
or more were 'stalled." People flocked
to the scene and about that time a
school in the vicinity was dismissed for
the day. the children adding to the
crowd of curiosity seekers which now
numbered between 500 and 1000. 1t
was a good natured crowd with plenty
of jokers and nothing more boisterous
than now and then cheer for the
strikers was INDUCED in. Suddenly.
from up the street, was heard the clat-
ter of hoofs and squad of mounted
police was seen bearing rapidly down.
Before the crowd could scatter the bru-
tai horsemen were in the midst of a
shrieking humanity: with drawn sa-
bers they swung their hands right and
left. Children, old men and and old
women were struck with the broadsides
and several persons in the crowd re-
ceiVed painful cuts. The street was
Icleared and where peace had formerly
Ireigned was sullen, vengeful crowd,
ldeeply muttering as they slowly dis
Ipersed. This story, and scores of sim
liar ones, did not find it's way into the
icapitalistic dailies.
Here is another instance of a cause
for disorder:
Mr.. George Vogel, quiet and wholly
inoffensive man, employed as reporter
on the st. Louis Chronicle, was stand
ling at the corner of Eighth and Morgan
lstreets.
He was watching a crowd that had
lgathered and was SUDDENLY confronted
by a big burly policeman. Vogel saw
that he was preparing to deliver saw
Iage blow and he cried out: Don't you
Estrike me. am reporter for the
|Chronicle.''
With savage oath the officer
named Edward Courtney, and bearing
star No. POI, dashed forward, and land.
ing on Vogels breast with both fists
knocked him down, saying that he die
: not care for reporters nor anybody else
. The above is given to show the cause
of many petty riots which are said tt
ocur in ST., Louis. Any American peo.
pie become thoroughly aroused wher
they see injustice done to any person
or PERSONS. Sometimes, on the spur o.
the moment, thoughless sympathizel
, Twill try to secure redress by violent ac
| tions, and hence a free -for-all fgh
occurs. II the police officers woult
, but do their duty, and their duty only

of blood would be shed, not one act 8
