HIS LIFE AT CLEVELAND.

ssrork. seeming not to care for the
Srndgery incident to the life.
shortly after coming to this city,
efteen years ago, Icons father started
a saloon in the rear of which was a
email building used as rendezvous
ond meeting place for a dozen or fif-
sean men who called themselves an
ercnists. Leon was too young to be a
.-.sn1ber of that gang, but he was a

mind.
sevaraI years, but the work was too
bard for him and he left to go on his
+otber's farm. Lung trouble developed
5oing the severe work of agricultural
NE and he finally became more or less
~ an idler; his health never regain
ing robust condition.
Ills effeminacy was the cause of more
~ less comment among his acquaint-
snces. Leon making his companions
largely among children, with whom he
sreI1t a greater part of his time, act
ing as they acted, and being shy at the
approach of other persons. His health
was thought to be such as to forbid
his working hard, and being of SEN
sitive nature, he. could not bear to be
dependent upon the other members of
his family, all of whom were hard
workers. Consequently he left home
and became wanderer.
The last definite information from
him was a letter received from West
Seneca, N. z, written July Is. That
letter was written to the secretary of
a fraternal society in Cleveland, and
was for the purpose of paying his
monthly assessment. It was signed
Fred c. Nienan and referred to the
fare to Buffalo.
The idea of a plot being Matched in
this city to kill the President Is not
given serious thought by the police nor
BY those who have known Czolgosz for
the past ten years. They regard his
desperate deed as the result of a sud-
den inspiration to do something to at
tract public notice, and perhaps hav-
ing been inspired by what he had heard
at various times during his younger
years Czolgosz was looked upon as be-
ing a harmless fellow by those who
know him best.
Among his own brothers and sisters
he was considered strange and a
-in-law not long ago commented
upon his childish conduct.
He has brother, Jacob, who was
injured by an explosion at the Sandy
Hook Navy Yard a couple of years
ago. and who has since been retired
on pension.
His recent letters to his family in
dicated nothing unusual in ais line Of
thought.

Colds are considered one of the nee
essary ills of life. One is liable to
catch cold both summer and winter.
Very often summer colds prove fatal.
They are always dangerous.

It may cause catarrh of any of the
internal organs-the head, throat, lungs
and stomach especially. A remedy
that will cure a cold, then, would cure
all these direct effects of colds. Pc

feeling that every possible preparation
had been made to provide for the sud
den emergency; in averting disaster
to stocks.
Manager Scherer, OF the Clearing
House Association, was at the clearing
house at an early hour this morning,
and President Tappan. of the Gallatin
National Bank, chairman of the asso-
citation, President Stilman of the Ma
tional City Bank, George Williams, of
the Chemical National Bank, and Pres

available supply Of credits, but both
Chairman Tappan and Manager Scher-

lasted only a short time, and about
1o:40 o'clock the committee adjourned
without action. as no extraordinary
measures were considered necessary in

A resolution was passed, however, that
the Clearing House Association would
sustain the monetary situation in every
respect.

CONGRESS REFUSED TO ACT.
Would Not Pass n Law to Exclude
Anarchists.

Washington. Sept. 7.-strong efforts
have been made to induce Congress to
enact laws excluding anarchists from
coming to the United States, but thus
lar without success.
Probably the strongest movement in
that direction was made when Gov.
stone Of Pennsylvania was a member
OF the House of Representatives. A
measure advocated by him specifically
excluded anarchists as such, and pro-
vided various safeguards for Identify
ing them. The measure was vigorously
opposed, some of the most prominent
men in Congress indentifying them
selves with the opposition on the
ground that IL would be a dangerous
Precedent TO prosecute and punish a
man for supporting a theory, Of hav-
ing a certain opinion, without proof
that he had committed an actual crime.

Parker. who was the first to attack
Nieman, after the latter had shot
President Mckinley at Buffalo yester-
day, was native of Charleston. He
left here several years ago to accept a
position as a hotel waiter, and the
records seem to indicate that he is the
man who figured in the shooting.
Parker's father was on the police
force here. The son worked in the
postoffiee, and was fired because he
preferred charges against another
clerk, which could not be proven The
elder Parker was brave and gallant as
an officer. and 1t was this same grit
and pluck which made the waiter in
Buffalo spring at the would-be assas-
sin with such force.
Parker said in New York to-day that
he was former policeman OF Charles

Washington, Sept. THE law officers
Of the government feel that there is
little assistance which the federal law
branch can give in prosecuting the
man who shot President Mckinley yes
terday.
It was stated to-day by leading law
Official that the federal laws made no

injury to the country as well as to the
individuals. But these laws were long
ago swept away.
