An Injunction has been issued by
Judge Gest restraining Alfred Miller,
of this city, from ejecting Mrs. Gust
Miller, his stepmother, from her
home on Third street. Mr.. Miller
recently asked for an order of eject
ment in the court of Justice Mapes,
claiming that the premises occupied
by his stepmother are his. Out of
this attempt to dipossess Mrs. Miller,
who is an old lady and unable to
work for her living, came the taking
of the matter to a higher court, re-
sulting i'm the granting of this in
junction. j. Il. Oakleaf volunteered
to handle the case gratuitously for
Mrs. Miller. The claim of Mrs. Mil
Ter is that some time ago. Alfred
agreed with his father, now deceased,
TO assume a $50 mortgage on the
property and to give the senior Miller
So month, still allowing him to oc-
cupy the premises. The senior Mil
Ter then signed n paper, now said to
have been a deed. The agreement to
allow his father and stepmother pos
session of the house and to pay them
So n month was lived up to till the
recent death of the father, after
which came the attempt to eject Mrs.
Miller from the premises. 1t is said
also that the son paid off the $50
mortgage, using part of 5000 obtained
from the bank on new mortgage of
the property for the purpose, leaving
him a surplus of $3.50. The claim of
Mr.. Miller is that the transfer of the
property by his father to him was en-
tered into voluntarily and knowingly
by the old gentleman, Gust Miller,
who married the now widowed lady
some forty-two years ago, when Al
fred was only years of age.

Fourth avenue, between First and
Second streets. Miss Klingabiel was
filling the lamps and lighting them

which followed Miss Klingabiel drop
ped the lighted match, which struck
the oil. y fierce blaze flashed up at
once and burned the hands and face
of Mr.. Klingabiel. who was bending
over the spot, and narrowly missing

blaze was finally eXtinguished, but
not until the room was filled with
smoke. Mr.. Klingabiers hands and
face were badly blistered and his
hair and eyelids singed. Miss King
abiel fortunately escaped injury; as
she was upon the ladder where the
flames could not reach her.

BURN BOOKS AT GRAVE.

With the smoke from the burning works ofRobert Ingersoll curling near his grave, Marcus A. Miller, educator and political writer, was laid to rest in the Floral cemetery at Bingham ton, N. Y, the other. afternoon.
 Miller is we'll known throughout the west, having been publisher in Cleve- land, manager of the Mosler Safe conn pany in Kansas City and general man. ager of the Smith Premier Typewriter company in St. Louis. He was a fol. lower of Ingersoll until a short time ago, when he embraced the Christian faith. When he learned that his ill., ness was fatal he asked his relatives to burn the books of Ingersoll at his grave as an expiatiSn and in hopes that it might show others the sophis- try of their teachings. The books were lighted by Rev. Samuel Dunham, the oldest Presbyterian clergyman in the section, and were burned as the casket was being lowered into the ground.

SAVE MANY KNOCKS.
Ind Finally Secretary Roots Door
 Was Opened Unto Him.
How Senator Toraler Discovered Secret Code Invented by the Chief of the War Departm
 Conquered Discretion.

Tn order to obtain an entrance into Secretary Roots private office at Washington after the hours upon which he is on public view one must have a knowledge of the code of knocks, for the secretary has sig nal that must be given before the door of his sanctum will swing from it's hinges. When it was first adopt ed the new scheme worked like a charm, and senators, representatives, tourists and other unwelcome callers have gone up against the door and knocked till their knuckles were sore without result, because they did not know the secret code. Since the lock- out has been placed at two o'clock instead of three the casualties have been even greater, although no cab inet officer has fallen victim since the memorable occasion when Secre- tary Hay tried all the knocks he knew.
 The other day, however, Senator Foraker triumphed over the door without the faintest knowledge of the open sesame and he has been chuckling over his victory ever since. The countersign knock has by this time become u matter of notoriety to congressman, so many of them having fallen victims to it. Accord ingly when MT. Foraker arrived at the war department and found the doors locked he knew what it meant and drowned. The stories his col leagues had told of their vain eff forts to learn the countersign flashed across his mind. He had taken pains to get there before three o'clock so as to avoid the usual defeat, and yet the doors were locked. He knew that behind it were three sturdy colored men, who would listen complacently to his futile knocks and never stir

A member of the fashionable set at Newport, Mrs. Osborn was an enthusiastic tennis player, and in structed man shirtmaker of New York to build her waist after her design to allow free play to the mus cles while in active exercise. That first waist was made of pale blue percale, and Mrs. Osborn had the good fortune to originate style which has stood the test of time. During the recent financial crash her husband lost his fortune, and Mrs. Osborn has started to build conn petence by designing gowns. Her dramatic breakfasts and musical teas have won for themselves a@place in New York's "4o0," and they are said to be among the most successful functions ever held in that city.
