PLUCKY MISS WALKER
FlOOred an Intruder and Held
Him Till Help
Came.

New York, Nov. 22.-Miss Delcie v.
Walker claims to be timid dresser of
ladies' hair at 8 East Forty-Second
street, but when 1t comes to capturing
bold, bad burglars bent on robbing her
pretty little fiat at 2s6 West Seventieth
street, Miss Walker is as good as any
detective on the force.
She was alone in her apartments yes
terday morning about 10 o'clock, when
q married friend living on the floor be-
low invited Miss Walker down stairs to
see q gown. She cloeed her fiat door
and went down stairs, meeting on her
way a small boy who wanted bread
there for small boys, and that he had
better run along and get the fresh air.
She went in to see the new hundre.
dollar gown, and presumes the Lao
went on his way rejoicing.
AS she was coming out of her friend S
fiat to return to her own she heard some
one trying her front door. Running up
the steps she encountered young Mr..
Samuel Schyer.
"Robbers" exclaimed Miss Walker,
and forgetting her early teaching to
pounced bodily upon Mr.. Schyer, clutch
ing him desperately by the throat, and
felled him to the hall floor. Sg
The person with the hundred dollar
gown heard the noise and thought Miss
Walker had fallen upstairs.
Just to be exasperating the richly
gowned one stuck her head out of the
door to say IL Miss Walker had really
fallen upstairs 1t was quite probable the
charming young hairdresser would not
be married this year.
She heard Miss Walker struggling I'm
the hall with the supposed burglar, and
screamed for the janitor. The latter
came up and. realizing the terrible
state of affairs, hurried out for po-
liceman. He ran all the way to the
West Sixty Eighth street station, and
the sergeant behind the desk detailed
Detective Roger Donoghue.
When Detective Donoghue arrived at
the fiat of Miss Walker she was still
throttling Mr.. Schyer, and between
gaaps that frightened young man was
begging on his knees for mercy.
The richly gowned one had shut her
self up In her apartments and Miss
Walker was bravely defending her own
floor.
Schyer begged to be turned loose and
declared he had only come around look
ing for work. rEs-g
He was taken to the station house and
the detective walked Miss Walker to the
west side court, where she told Magis-
trate Meade how dreadfully timid she
was. because she was robbed last May.
She said she olives alone in the fiat,
mostly" and for this reason she Is
probably unnecessarily afraid of in
truders.
The young man could not give a
very good account Of himself, and the
magistrate decided to hold him until
the detective can look up his record.
Miss Walker was told to be in court
this morning, and the young man was
sent down town where the headquarters
multitude can have look at his phys
iognomy, lest he should be an old Of
fender. t'
He Is about Is years old and weighs
about ninety-two pounds. Nevertheless,
Miss Walker and Detective Donoghue
are very proud Of her abilities as a
suppressor Of would-be sneak thieves.

DETWILER'S LITTLE JOKE.
Smooth Game Played on Two
Reporters by Toledo Real
Estate Man.

Toledo, Nov. 22.-No shrewder busI-
ness man than A. *. Detwiler walks in

with the elegant store rooms that Mr..
Detwiler fitted up about a year ago in
the old St. Paul church structure, cor
ner of Superior and Madison. The
rooms were soon all full of business.
presumably at a low rental to start
with. Before advancing the rent Mr..
Detwiler wanted to know how the ten
ants like the store rooms. So he treat
ed couple of reporters on as many
afternoon papers to a ten cent cigar
and then told them that he had q big
scoop under his hat-yea, a scoop that
would set the town wild. The reporters
eyes stuck out like saucers and one of
them ordered another round of cigars.
Detwiler then drew their heads close
together and told them that plans had
been completed and contracts entered
into for the construction of History
hotel on the old church property; that
within three days the work of tearing
down the corner would begin.

swiftly wrote up the story and in three
hours it was on the streets and each
reporter contemplated an advance of
salary. But even that dream didn't
deter them from making little hay
while the sun shown.
They speedily called upon the ten
ants of the block and told them that
Detwiler must buy out their leases
forthwith and that they had given
them the "tip" so they could be pre-
pared to chop him good when he came
around. 1t is useless to say that the
reporters had their pockets full of free
| chewing gum, jewelry, candy, briar
pipes, tobacco and cigars. Each re-
porter blew ten pennies into Gay
| nor's slot machine and it was so ex-
cited that they got a full hand every
time. 1t is even said that each of the
reporters knocked down a ten cent
lunch in the Baltimore hashery.
Bright and early next morning Mr..
Detwiler called on the tenants, asked
them how business was and if they
would like to make change. One
after another assured "a. K" that
business was booming, they were well

Of Complaint.

Rome, N. Y, April 25.-The Northern
New York conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church took up the debate
on President McKinley's attitute to the
army canteen in his report to congress.
The subject under discussion was SIM
ply whether or not to use the family
name Of Mckinley in resolution.
On a vote Of 98 to 8 the resolution
was finally adopted censuring the
president Of the United States and his
legal advisers" There were many ex-
citing scenes during the debate, the
pastors getting very excited, many talk
ing at random, paying no attention to
the chairman, Bishop Walden, of Gin
cinnati, who favored leaving McKin-
ley's name out of the resolutions Rev:
Mr.. Bovard said it would be a blind
mistake to enter on the minutes a per-
sonal reference to the chief magistrate
Of the United States. His constitu-
ents will consider it an insult" Rev. Mr..
Bovard said. I'VE are not Methodist

president" The speaker called McKin-
ley Methodist and Christian.

Washington, April 24.-The Post this
morning in an article on the first page,
says: For president, William Nc
Kinley, Of Ohio. For vice-president,
Theodore Roosevelt, of New York"
The ticket which will be nominated
at the Philadelphia convention has
practically been decided upon. Cover
nor Roosevelt, despite all his protesta-
tions, will undoubtedly be the choice of
the delegates, and he will accept the
nomination. This is the meaning of his
selection as one of the delegates at large
from New York to the national conven-
tion. Long before the New York state
convention assemblies to nominate a
governor, Mr.. Roosevelt will be out
upon the stump speaking as the vice.
presidential candidate of his party.
His successor in the gubernatorial chair
will be Benjamin B. Odell, Jr.'

ROOSEVELT and The DITCH.
KOhlsaat Sees Only Ruin In The
Future For Governor
Roosevelt.

Chicago, April 25.-Editor Kohlsaat
thinks he sees a trap for Roosevelt in
the vice-presidency matter The effort
to get up enthusiasm and make the
New York governor take the nomina-
ton is credited to Mr.. Hanna, so what
the Times Herald has to say about 1t
is interesting. Here it is:
There seems to be no end to the ad-
miration which the machine Republi-
cans of New York cherish for Theodore
Roosevelt. Their love for him is so
great that they wish to make martyr
of him. They are wiling, aye. anxious.
to offer him up sacrifice to party sue
cess on the barren altar of the vice.
presidency. They have such a whole
to put them where they will cool in
''innocuous desuetude."
The grave which the New York Re-
publican machine invites Colonel
Roosevelt to occupy is four years long.
No one has ever been known to step
out Of it into the presidency except
over the grave of a president. Above
the richly upholstered seat of the vice.
president tradition has been written
these lines:
Who e'er ambition here pursues
Must seek 1t in a dead mans shoes.
But the purpose Of enticing Roose-
welt into the vice-presidential trap is
not so much to close his national career
as to end his offensive usefulness in
New York. OF course Boss Platt and
his fellow conspirators would not OBJ
ject to killing two birds with one stone,
but it Is the gubernatorial bird they
are gaming for. They have had all
they want and more too Of Theodore
Roosevelt in Albany.
Will Governor Roosevelt walk into
the ditch which has been dug so palpa-
bly, for his ruin? That is what the
people all over the United States are
asking. They recognize that New
York needs Roosevelt more than he
needs the e-presidency. They per-
ceive that he has manifest qualifica-
tions for governor or a president, but
virtually none for the presiding officer
of the most soporific body on earth. :
A bull in a china-shop would not be
more out of place than the Rough Rider
colonel in the vice-presidency. II
would be brute waste of honest
ability, courage and energy to take
Roosevelt from a sphere of usefulness
to one Of inactive impotence.
VIII he walk into the wide-oper
ditch?
