Mr.. Henry opened his address
with the usual remarks about the

his whole speech was imperialism,

in eloquence. The work Of the
Republican party from the time
Of the humanity war against the
Spanish in Cuba to the present
day was fully brought to light,
revealing the many dash-plays OF

Last Sunday night another thei.

dow, cut one of the shutters on,

Mr. Ransome had since the last
robbery bought staples and locks,
and securely fastened all the blinds
OF his room. This the thief soon
found out, so he went to the
dining-room window, entered it
and came up to the door of Mr..
Ransome's room, but finding it
and the transome fastened, the
latter he found ont by getting on
a chair, he left for other houses.
This he struck about 10 min
utes afterwards, and proved to be
DR.. Shackleford's. Here he adopt
ed like plans. Cutting the shut
ters, he found it an easy matter
from then on. DR.. ShackIeford
says he was awake when he start
ed to enter, but turned over and
must have dozed off, for the drop
ping of purse of silver startled
him and he jumped out of bed,
grabbed his gun and started after
the robber, but the intruder prov
ed heet-footed and beat the DR.. to

found the purse containing the
300 in the back yard near the
fence, where the thief threw it
down. This purse or bill-book,
when open, presented the appear
ance of q card case, as the bills
we're inserted from the side and
we're not seen when book was

Mistaken Identity.
A very interesting case OF mis-

He was informed there was-one
Of i've hundred dollars, whereupon
he announced that he had the man
here in jackson. The supposed
prisoner was escorted to
the pen1tentiary, where it develop
ed that he was not the man wanted
at all, though his name was Tag
CART, and he bore q striking re'
to the escaped convict
Of that name, and who is supposed
70 be very badly wanted. Tag
cart. it will be remembered is the
fellow who was sent up for twenty
wears from jackson county on the
double charge of burglary and as
sault and battery with intent to
kill and murder Joe Cook in 1898.
Cook was severely beaten and left
IN a pond of water, for dead, but
was not. He did die, however,
about a year after from the effect
Of his experiences Of that night,
Init in the meantime Taggart had
been sentenced for attempt to kill.
He ESCAPED from the Rankin farm
Nov. 10. 1897, and it is understood
he is not very far away.

BALL PLAYER BARRED.

William F.. Bransfield. who caught for the WorceSters last season and for the Brocktons at one time during it's career in the New England league is having his troubles in Worcester at present. owing to his inability to get into the Bartenders' union. He ap- piled for admission and was turned down. The Worcester papers claim that the cry that turned him down was that he made q lot of money playing ball during the summer and should not be given q position where he could make money during the. win ter. Those that oppose him claim that there are men in Worcester who rely on bartending for a living and that those men should be protected by the union. The position of the ball player is upheld by the Telegram, which says that the fact of his having a mother and two sisters to support did not seem to enter the case. The proprietor who wishes to hire Brans- field is willing to do so. as the union does hot compei all the men to be union men. but Brsfnsfield refused, as he did not belong to the union.

CHARLEY MILLER. ARR1NE ES.
Six Day Champion Prepared For the Struggle at Madison Square Garden.

Six Day Champion Prepared For the
 Struggle at Madison Square Garden.
 New York, Dec '5.-Charley Miller, the six day champion of the world, who has been training in Chicago for next weeks team race at, Madison Square Garden. arrived in this city last night The Flying Dutchman" is in fine condition .andss will need only a daily work out to keep him in shape for the struggle. His partner in the coming affair, Robbie Walthour the southern crack, will reach town to-day and the pair will do their training with the foreigners at Ambrose park.
 Yesterdays indictment weather did not interfere with the preparation of the European pedallers quartered at Ambrose park. On the contrary, some of the best impromptu contests seen there since their arrival took place.
 The men rode on the home trainers used by Charley Murphy in exhibitions. There are two machines with dial attached. and the different riders could not resist the temptation to race. One of the best contests was between GougoltZ, the Frenchman. and Kaser the stolid German. They turned out about twenty miles at an even gait, when Gougoltz began to increase his speed ana shoot aneau haSef part ner, Ryser, eXcitedly called his coun- tryman'S attention to the Frenchman's s tactics, and the Teuton thereupon started to hit it up himself. The other men surrounded the machines urging on the two men until twenty-five miles, l when the men stopped. It was hot tussle and Gougoltz got the verdict | by a slight margin.
 Entries close today for the amateur i indoor championship and handicap which takes place on Saturday night at the Garden. These two events pre- cede the two match races. In one Michael and Stinson will battle for fiji teen miles behind motors. and in the ether Tom Cooper and Major .Tay- l6r. the iWn fleetest sDrinters in the country, will settle the question of su,
 premacy in a nlag.n neat race.
