Suspicious Character Tries to Kill
Officer Muller.
BROTHER SLEUfH'O INTERFERENCE
The AssaiIant Posed as a Son
of Senator Hanna.
EXCITEMENT ON AVENUE

man who gave his name as Marcus A.
Hanna jr., but who is believed by the po-
lice authorities to be a professional crook
from some other city. was this afternoon
locked up at the sixth precinct station on
the charge of assaulting Detective Muller
with intent to kill.
Shortly after / o. clock the man went into
Castelberg's jewelry store and stated he
wanted to purchase pair of diamond ear
rings. He was shown a tray of the jewels
and selected a pair valued at s1.05O. He
informed the clerk who waited on him that
he wanted TO take the jewelry with him.
and this being unusual circumstance,
attracted the attention both of Mr.. Robert
CasteIberg and Mr.. Thomas Wilkinson, who
happened to be in the store at the time.
MIR. Castelberg declined to let the stranger
take the earrings. and the latter gave IN
structions to send them to u Lafayette
Square. Senator Hanna'S s residence, Wnlch
is now closed
Mr. Wilkinson told Mr.. Castelberg that
the man was not what he represented him
self To be. and the jeweIer then called up
Major Sylvester, asking him to send de-
tective to his store at once
Detectives Detailed.
Major Sylvester at once detailed De-
tectives WeedOn and Muller to take charge
of the case. Apparently Hanna did not
like the way things were going. and he
left Castelberg's and proceeded down
Pennsylvania avenue followed by Mr.. Will
kinson. and entered Goldsmith & Sons
store. near 9th street, where re repeated
the tactics he had before followed. He was
unsuccessful. however, in getting any
jeweiry, and when he left the store Mr..
Wilkinson called officer to arrest
him.
WeedOn's Timely Action.
BY this time Detectives Weldon and
Muller. as we'll as Detective Parham. ar
rived, and they closed in on the man. The
latter drew loaded revolver. and, placing
the barrel against Detective Mullers
stomach. attempted to discharge it. Quick
a flash Detective WeedOn struck the
pistol with his blackjack and knocked 1t to
side, and by some means the weapon
missed fire After some little delay the
prisoner secured and taken to head
quarters. followed by immense crowd.
After being examined by Major Sylvester
and Acting Chief of Detectives Carter, the
prisoner was taken to No. precinct sta
tiOn and locked up. While at headquarters
he was at one time pretty closely pressed
by the crowd and he quickly turned and
attempted to strike the man nearest him.
but was prevented by bystanders. He will
probably be arraigned in the Police Court
Monday.
According to a circular received by Major
Sylvester. the prisoner is wanted in De-
trOt, Mich. for alleged crime.

TESTS OF WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
To BE Used for Reporting Incoming
Ships Mt Puget Sound.

PORTLAND. Ore. July 20.-Experiments
with wireless telegraphy for reporting in
coming ships will soon be made between
Tatoosh Island and Neah bay, at the en-
trance to Puget sound. At one time the
government maintained a station for re-
porting and observation on the island, but
the cable to Neah bay broke several years
ago, and since then vessels have been re-
ported from Neah bay. The government
now proposes to re-establish the Tatoosh
Island station and to reopen telegraph
communication with the mainland. II the
experiment with wireless telegraphy fails,
a cable will be laid between the island and
Neah bay. Owing to currents and rocks
between the island and the mainland, the
life of a cable off Cape Flattery is very
short. so the government will do its best
to make wireless telegraphy success. in
order to save the cost of expensive cables.
A reserve has been set aside at Tatoosh Is
land, and plans and specifications have
been made for a station to cost 5000.
II Is expected that bids will be called for
at Washington within month.

BLEACHING by ElectrlcitY.

Some information as to the advan-
tages Of a new method Of bleaching
textiles by means Of electricity is Civ
en- in a recent communication to the
State Department by Ernest L. Harris,
United States Consular Agent at Eib-
enstock, Germany. The new method
which has been invented by German
professor and a firm of electricians in
Saxony, consists of passing currents of
electricity through brine, producing a
liquor strongly impregnated with So
dium hypochlorite, which, it is said
advantageously replaces chloride OF
lime for all bleaching purposes.
The advantages Of this new agent
are that it possesses the highest
bleaching power; there is no injury OF
loss to the weight Of the fabric; lime
and magnesia salts are not deposited
on the cloth-a valuable point in the
subsequent dyeing and printing pro
cesses-the liquor is always Of one
strength, and the cost of production is
less. Rock salt or sea salt may be
used for the mixing Of the brine, pro
vided it contains no material injurious
in the subsequent processes.

A Whole Meal For One Cent

Speaking Of cheap restaurants"
said q gentleman who has just re.
turned from a visit to London, to the
writer, reminds me of a dining sa.
loon in the Whitechapel district Of
London, where a Telishing and fairly
substantial meal may be had for a
half penny, or one cent in our money.
This cheap repast is not served up in
the shape Of a cut from a joint and
two vegetables. 1t is big brown
pie, very juicy and very hot. The
absence Of beefsteak is evident when
you cut the pie, but you find inside
a liberal sprinkling of sleeps liver,
onions and turnips and a plentiful
supply Of gravy. For a half penny ex.
ira two slices of bread and cup Of
tea are supplied. Between the hours
Of ~ and the poor and hungry from
all parts Of the east end of the city
flock TO this dining room. Most Of
the patrons are shoeblacks, penny-toy
men, costermongers, and now and then
young clerks whose salaries will not
permit them to indulge in a more cost
ly dinner.-Washington Star.

Some interesting wheat experiments
has been carried on by the Australian
Government showing the efficacy of
'pickling' wheat seed infected with
smut. In the experiments siXty-six
perfectly clean grains of wheat were
rubbed together with smut balls until
all the grains were thoroughly covered
with spores. Half Of them were then
picked in bluestone water, and sowed
side by side with the unpickled grains.
OF thirty-three grains Of infested
wheat, unpickled, thirty-two grew and
twenty-five Of these were smutty OF
the thirty-three picked seeds twenty
three grew and only one was infected
with smut.

Among the last experiments by the
inventor, Professor Elisha Gray, were
those made on the last day Of the
century for transmitting signals
through the sea. 1t was found that
a bell sounded under the water could
be heard through an electrical re-
ceiver as far rs twelve miles in the
open sea. The value of the discovery
appears to be great. One of the FIRST
propositions is to place a series Of
submerged bells along dangerous
coasts, which can be rung by electric
ity in time Of fog and storm, then
ships fitted with the receiving instru-
ment will be warned at a safe dis
tance off shore. Another possible use
will be in notifying ships Of the ap-
proach of other and especially sub

Hungary water is a spirit of wine dis
titled upon rosemary. and contains a
powerful aroma of the plant. For
many years it was mainly manufac-
tured at Beaucaire and Montpelier. in
France, where. the plant grows in
abundance. The name would appear to
signify that this water, so celebrated
for its medicinal virtues, is Hun
garian invention, and it is stated in
various books that the recipe for pre-
pairing it was given to a Queen OF Hun
gary by a hermit, or as others say, by
an angel. who appeared to her in gar
den. all entrance to which was smut, In
the form of a hermit or youth. Others
affirm that Elizabeth, wife of Charles
Robert, King of Hungary, who died IN
1880. was the inventor. BY often wash
ing with this spirit of rosemary, wien
in the SEVENTEEN year OF her age, she
was cured, it is said, of the gout, so
that she not only lived till past eighty,
but became so lively and beautiful that
she was courted by the King of Poland,
who was then a widower. and who
wished to make her his second wife.
Hoyer says that the recipe for prepar-
ing this water, written by Queen Eliza
beth's own hand, in letters of gold, is
still preserved in the Imperial Library
at Vienna Beckmann. on the other
hand, says that such is not the case.
