The Conqueror's Presence OF Mind.

An old tradition receunts that when
William the Conqueror landed for the
first time on English soil he slipped
and fell on his face. Divining by a
owift intuition that his followers must
regard this as an evil omen, he rose
with his hands full of earth, and ex-
claimed: THUS do I take possession
of England. I grasp it with both
hands, ,"-Areonaut.

Coroner Glazebrook, at No. station. this

of stab wounds in the back and abdomen
inflicted by knife in the hands of Boyd

place in the rear of their home, COZ II
Street northwest, on Tuesday night. The
jury recommended that Wallace be held fer
the action of the grand jury, and Acting
Coroner Glazebrook ordered the prisoner
committed to jail to await future proceed
ings.
Acting Deputy Coroner Fisher. who per-
formed the autopsy on the body of Stat
ford, testified to the nature of the wounds
and the cause of death. In his opinion
Stafford was robust and healthy man.
Death, he said, was due directly 10 the
stab wounds inflicted
The most important witness examined
was Hannah Reed, colored. who lived in
the same house with the half-brothers. and
Harriet Jackson, the colored woman with
whom Stafford went to the Anacostia
camp meeting. The Reed woman said she
woman during her absence. Wallace came
in about $3.50 o'clock. He appeared surly
and said he had learned enough for so
cents to show him what was going on. p"
He also said that he was going to nave q
talk with Harriet Jackson and then talk
to Stafford. and added: When / get
through with Stafford you can gamble the
undertakers will get his body"
The Reed woman said that Wallace on
leaving the house, turned UP his coat COL
lar and pulled his hat over his eyes to dis
guise himself ard then paced up and down
the street between the house and the car
the Jackson woman returned 1t was then
the quarrel provoked by Wallace began.
Both men adjourned to the rear yard to
talk and witness did not expect a stabDing
affair IN answer to a question the witness
said she saw Wallace stab Stafford, but
did not see Stafford make any move toward
his half-bTother either before or after the
stabbing.
Harriet Jackson testified to going to the
camp meeting with Stafford. and upon
their return finding Wallace at the n
Street house. Witness attempted to shield
Wallace, and her testimony was favorable
Wallace was not alone responsible for the
quarrel She did not see the stabbing, but
thought it was provoked
Bessie Porter, Cnlored, and other wit
nesses. including Policeman Trumbo, who
arrested Wallace, testified 10 minor de-
tails.

THIEVES ON A HoUsEBoAT.
Jesse Mills, One of "A Successful West
Virginia Gang.

WHEELING. ". Va, Aug. 9.-Jesse
Mills, late of Company G, Seventeenth Z.
S Infantry, is under arrest at Point Pleas
ant. " Va, charged with enough thefts
and turg1aries to keep him in the peniten-
tiary the rest of his life. Although this
is the first time Mills has been accused of
robbery, his success along the Ohio Valley
has been phenomenal.
Shortly after Mills landed in New York
he came to West Virginia, his native State,
and when he arrived at Wheeling found
himself without money. He made the ac-
quaintance of men who are thus far I'M
discovered. They bought a small house
boat and started down the river on a
thieving expedition.
How well they succeeded is evidenced in
a measure by the discovery on their boat
OF five satchels filed with costly jewelry,
most of which was stolen from stores in
Wheeling and Parkersburg. There were
several dozens of rings, several gold
watches, TeYoiyers, and even new bicycles.
The houseboat left a wake of bold bur
glaries
At Parkersburg Mills took seventy two
pairs of trousers from a clothing store
and climbing to a skylIght over a iewelry
store let himself down two stories 10 the
main floor, which he covered with the
stolen clothing to muffie the sound of his
shoes. Through the skyiight he hoiste6
bags of jewelry and plate and several BIZ
cycles, At various towns jewelry stores
were robbed
When arrested Mills showed fight He
was armed with two .4S-calibre revolvers
Later his aged mother came from her
home at Huntington to intercede in his
behalf but should he be punished for all
that is charged against him he will never
have another hours freedom.

4 CANE FOR MR., BRYAN.
4 Washington Youth Cs.rves 1t From
a Hickory Pole

William Jennings Bryan will shortly re-
ceive a unique and handsome present,
sent TO him by q young man residing in
the northwestern part of this city The
gift is a walking stick, and Il is peculiar
in the fact that there is probably not an
other like it in the United States The
giyer. John Bolts, OF Columbia Heights,
designed the carved pattern which covers
nearly the entire surface Of the stick, and
with the aid of a small penknife, he cut
the cane from the end OF an old hickory
fagpole. The greater portion of the cane
is coated with silver and the colors en-
ployed in the designs are red, white, and
blue. On the top Of the straight handle
is cut an imitation of watch and the
time registers sixteen minutes of one
Curling around this handle is carved and
enameled the representation of a folded
American flag. The red stripes being rails
ed, stand in relief against the silver ones
A long sTeamer falls from the top OF the
flag and coils itself many times around
the stick to the bottom. On this coil is
inscribed in red, white. and blue letters
the following expressions: our protec-
tor William J. Bryan; friend of the work
Ing men Of 1900; he does not like the
trusts; he Is the man Tor US running
in a straight line from end TO end. and in
prominent lettering is the familiar name
of the leader Billy Bryan" small
phe .ograph of Bryan is inlaid in the han
die of the cane and a silver ferrule is cap
PED upon the bottom.
No less interesting than the cane is the
box in which il was enclosed when sent
to the Democratic nominee for President.
This box was also made by young Mr..
Bolts with his penknife. It is coated with
silver and carved as was the cane. On
two opposite sides are inscribed respective
ly Sixteen to One" and ''Anti-Imperial-
ISM. The other sides of the box are dec
grated Nth two cartoons cut upon them
One of these pictures represents Mr.. Bry-
an perched upon the top OF a tall ladder
the Presidential ladder-with Mckinley
standing at the bottom gazing obviously
upward. The other cartoon shows MI
Bryan seated upon the Democratic donkey
entering the White House Grounds where
he has been nominated to stay four years
as President. and Mckinley and Hanna are
pushing the mule desperately from be-
hind, thus helping him along
Mr.. Bolts sent the cane enclosed in the
box to Colonel Bryan, yesterday. with
short letter OF explanation, and he expects
an acknowledgment in return from the
eader OF the Democratic hosts
