DETECTIVE 1RELAND's STORY.
Incidents of the Shooting Told by an
Eve Witness

Buffalo, Sept. I'm an interview Sc
cret Service Detective Ireland. who with
Ofncers Foster and Gallagher, were near
the president when the shots were fired,
said.
TT is incorrect. as has been stated.
that the least fear Of an assault was en-
tertained by the presidential party.
has Travelled all over the country and
has met people everywhere. In Canton
he walks to church and down town
without the sign Of secret service of
any kind as an escort In Washington
he walks about the White House
grounds, drives out freely and has en-
joyed much freedom from the presence
of detectives.
TT has been my custom to stand back
of the president and Just to his left so
that could see the right hand Of every
person approaching, but yesterday
was requested to stand opposite the
president 50 that Mr.. Milburn could
stand to the left and introduce the peo-
PIE who approached. In that way 1 was
unable to get a good look at every ones
right hand.
A few moments before Czologsz ap-
preached, a man came along with three
fingers of his right hand tied up in
haudage, and he had shaken hands with
his left. When Czologsz came up 1 no
uced he was a bOyish looking fellow
with an innocent face. perfectly calm,
and 1 also noticed that his right hand
was wrapped in what appeared to be
bandage. I watched him closely but
was interrupted by the man in front of
him, who held on TO the presidents
hand an unusually long time. This man
appeared TO be an Italian and wore
short heavy black mustache.
He was persistent and it was neces-
sary for me to push him along so that
the others could reach the president
Just as he released the presidents hand
and as the president was reaching for
the hand OF the assassin there were
quick shots. Startled for a moment I
looked and saw the president draw his
up and pressing his lips together, give
Czologsz the most scOrnfuI and con-
temptuous look possible to imagine.
AT the same time L reached for the
young man and caught his left arm
The big negro standing just back Of
him and who would have been next to
have taken the presidents hand struck
the young man in the neck with one
hand and with the other reached for
the revolver. which had been discharged
through the handkerchief and the shots
from which had set fire to the linen.
Immediately a dozen men fell upon
the assassin and bore him to the floor
While on the floor CzolOgsz again tried
TO discharge the revolver, but before he
could point it at the president it was
knocked from his hand by the negro.
lit flew across the floor and one of the
artillery men picked it up and put it in
his pocket
ON the way down to the station
CzOlOgsz would not say a word but
seemed greatly agitated."

KEPT a SALOON.
Assassin Also Worked For the
Steel Trust.

Cleveland, o., Sept. Leon Czologsz,
the man who shot President Mckinley,
is said TO have formerly kept a saloon
at the corner of Third avenue and Tod
street, this city. Later he was employ
ed in one Of the mills of the American
Steel and Wire company. Foreman
Frank Halzer of the galvanzing de-
partment of the consolidated mill of the
latter company said today.
I know Leon CzolOgsz very well. His
father, believe, lives in the vicinity of
WaTensville, O.. on a farm. There are
five sons. 1 think. all residing in this
city, two or three of them living on
Hosnner street. Leon at one time was
employed as a blacksmith in the con-
solidated mill. Later he kept a saloon
at the corner of Third avenue and Tod
street. Later he sold out the saloon
and lived on the farm with his father.
I know that Leon is. or was an
anarchist. He attended socialist and
anarchist meetings very frequently. He
is a man of rather small stature. about
26 years of age. The last time I saw
him he had a light brown mustache.''

New York. Sept Much now hinges
on the hope that President Mckinley
wounds viii not prove fatal but 1881 Will
not repeat itself. In that year when
President Garfield was shot the public
was loaded with stocks: today the great
bulk of stocks is held by the banking in
terests and will not be offered for sale.
In the summer of 1881 the country was in
the midst Of an inflated and artificial
boom. any shock to which was bound to
bring collapse and disaster. Today our
country is in the midst Of the best and
greatest prosperity that any country ever
saw. and it is substantial all the way
from root to branch In 1881 we were
a debtor nation largely at the mercy OF
European motive, fancies and fears. To-
day we are master of the situation fnan-
cially and commercially. The banks will
support the market and stocks should DO

longer charge, and his opinion was
backed by the court. After both Mr..
Walker ana Mr. Franks had stated the
case as they each saw it, Prosecuting
Attorney Urmy made a fiery speech in
which he called Mr.. Franks gambler,
the public Attorney Lynch then made
a soothing little talk in which he ex-
tOlled the virtues of his client and re-
ferred to the holdup as a trivial matter
hardly worthy of the courts notice and
expressed a hope that the court saw the
microscopic size of the same 'Hiz-

Mr.. Lynch to the size of the offense

hastily appealed. Among other state

wit: that our friends who kill space
in the local publications have greatly
magnified the little affair" The space
killers smiled inWardly when the court
passed out his version. Mr. Walker
stated on the side that the papers and
public had accused him of too much
leniency in the case, and he didn't pro-
pose to have the charge trimmed any
more.

JAPANESE FIRE STRINGS.
Displays Adapted to n DoIPs House
or Small Apartments.

Pyrotcchnics in Japan is an art which
has been developed almost into science
Besides the colured fireworks Of the night
there are day fireworks, which depend for
their effect upon coored smokes and OBJ
jeCts suspended in air, and, daintlrst OF
all, there are tiny parloy fireworks which
can be used in dolls house or a Harlem
fat. The prctticst Of these is the fire
string. 1t looks like short piece OF poor
~ made red cord, hanging from two to
four inches in length and is no thicker
than common wrapping Irvine. The ma
tcral is a stout paper similar to that cm-
poyed as the wrapper for trccrackers
Within this paper there IS small amount
of combustible powder, composed Of gun
powder and steel filings.
When the end Of the string Is ignted.
it emits smoke and sparks, burns slowly
and forms q molten bail, which increases
in size up to the half way point on the
string. 1t then apparently boils for sec
ond and begins to contract. This is the
signal for throwing out wonderful
stream of sparks, stars and fern shaped
flames. The display lasts from half
minute to minute, and then nothing ID
left save the charred end. Sometimes, in
stead Of steel filings, copper filings are
substituted or powdered brass. These
give flames Of greenish blue. Strontia
and zinc are likewise employed and pro-
duce scarlet and silver lights.
In Japan the fire strings are served at
dinner parties, from three to five being
given to each person present. They are
lighted from the cigarettes employed by
the guests and form pleasant incident
to the feast. They are cheap In Japan
and can be purchased at the rate of three
or four for cent. A few occasionally
find their way to this country, where they
bring from to 10 cents for bunch Of
ten.-New York Post.

The Cane Fiend.

"Say," said the man from Jersey as his
right and left hand changed bundles,
"d'you ever think who was the worst kind
of bore? III tell you. It's the man
who's got history to tell about every
blame thing he owns. He can't trot out
n clay pipe without relating some dreary
yarn about how he got it or something
that happened to him once while he was
smoking it. You sit and writhe, and he
dodders away. The dad bingest bore l
know lives in Harlem. Me and Mrs.
Miggs took dinner with him last week
one night. He's got a room chock full of
canes-must be more'n 300. No famous
or even half way well known man ever
owned one Of them. They're just canes,
cut here and there wherever he's been.
He posters his friends to bring him home
a cane whenever they go away. They
amt even rare or even pretty wood. They
are just about as interesting and valuable
as q collection of tomato cans would be.
Yet he'll talk you blind about them; tell
you where each one was cut and who
got it and how many times he Jabbed
his knife into his finger while he was do
ing 1t. Smart enough business man too.
But we've all got our soft spots, | guess"
