Morgan's Appearance in Germany
Likened to Swoop of a Vulture.

Berlin Letter in Brooklyn Eagle.
Germany is suffering acutely from the
Inorganic fever. There Is an element of
both the pathetic and the ludicrous in
the wild-eyedS descriptions of the fabu-
lous undertakings Of j. Pierpont Morgan.
His name strikes terror to the hearts OF
the few lone spectators who endeaYor
to revive business ION the Boagse. Not
only in the large cities AMI industrial CEN
tiers, bit also in the provinces of Ger
many the name of Morgan is q synonym
for wizard financial performances. This
Is all natural and would be harmless but
tor the studious efforts of certain inter-
ests in Germany to make out Morgan as
the arch commercial enemy of the United
States. who threatens like a vulture to
sweep down upon Germanys magnificent
steamship lines and destroy its commerce
with one fell blow. Almost daily the
est of trust organizers. The comic pa
pers rarely produce an issue without
bringing in full page cartoons of Morgan
in the guise of striped tiger waiting
in ambush for more prey, or as male
Fata Morgana reclining over the length
and breath of North America.
Mr.. Morgan arrived in Berlin last Sat
urday. His entrance was like that OF
for the military trappings. At the sta
ton there was a throng of curiosity
seekers who had somehow obtained news
of the arrival of Mr.. Morgan from Kiel,
where tne~I Trust magndte mas Decn at
tending the 'ESieler' Woche" regatta and
holding interesting sessions In the cabins
of the Corsair and Hohenzollern with
Kaiser William regarding the steamship
trust and German-American commercial
relations. 1t was not many months ago
when Kaiser william was in the same
cabin of the Hohenzollern in which he
received Mr.. Morgan the other day also
granted audience to noted French pub
ficist to whom he spoke of the danger
which such men as Mr.. Morgan, in his
capacity as trust organizer, stood for in
throftling international trade. He pic
-tured the huge American steel trust as
q menace to all Europe which could only
be made hors de combat by the organi-
cation of a European tariff to defend it,
self against the American invasion"
The French correspondent published a
long interview to this effect, and 1t was
never denied in the Reichs Anzeiger Or
Allgemeine which are usually prone to
discount such writings

Second Alarm Sounded Within Fiji
teen Minutes Of First.
The fire department was called to two
fires yesterday afternoon, one within fif-
teen minutes of the other, and within
thirty minutes the horses had ran six
miles.
j The first fire was on the roof Of the
Coliseum. ia vesuvius, and the other a
defective ffue in the home OF Mr.. F. G..
Hale, 3s2 South Perry Street.
The first alarm was sounded, at 2:15
and the IRE department horses had a
long and hot run out to the Coliseum,
where the sparks from a passing switch
engine had caused the sun-parched shin
giles to blaze up.
About 3:25 p. M. before the IRE IN We
suvius had been totally extinguished, the
fire alarm was again sounded and this
time the department was called TO the
home OF Mr.. f. c. Hale, $50 South Perry

SHE ROUTED BURGLAR
MRS. W. w. WALDO DISPLAYS
COOL COURAGE.
Secured Pistol, Crept to Window
and Took Snapshot at
Burglar on the
Porch.

Cool courage on the part of woman.
Mrs. w, w. Waldo, OF 40 High Street,
wednesday night, put q negro burglar to
fight and thereby stopped a very bold
and all but successful attempt at rob-
berry.
About midnight Mrs. Waldo was awak-
ened by sounds on her porch. Hearing
them, she listened for while, and de-
cided they were caused by a dog.
An instant after coming to that deci-
sion, however. she was undeceived. and
thereupon she arose. laid hold Of her
husbands pistol and crept to the win
dow.
The shutters of the window were clos
ed, but the stats were turned. and she
was therefore enabled to get view, more
or less INSTRUCTED. of what was going on
out on the porch.
PeepinR, she perceived a negro In the
act Of slipping down the steps, bearing
bicycle in one hand and bicycle
pump In the other.
Seeing him, she raised her weapon and
took snap shot, and as the explosion
sounded the negro dropped his booty
and fed.
The shot aroused the neighbors. and
In few moments number of them
came over to ascertain its cause. One of
these neighbors ran over, upon entering
the front gate. a bicycle belonging to
Mr.. Waldo. and brought 1t up to the
house. It was then discovered that the
burglar had successfully carried the ma
chine from the porch to the yard and had
returned to get Mr. Waldo's wheel and
the bicycle pump, and was actually bear
ing both away. when fired at.
Mrs. Waldo Is the wife Of the foreman
OF The Advertiser, and is clever pistol
shot. In firing at the burglar. however.
her aim was obstructed by the shutters
and by banisters and her target render
ed still more difficult by reason of the
fact that she did not want to kill him,
and attempted for that reason to send
bullet to some spot not mortal.
Mrs. Waldos neighbors spent a large
part of yesterday congratulating her up
on her bravery.

WESTERN METHODS M LuzoN.
Rabbit Hunting Way Of Fighting
the Filipinos.

Brooklyn Eagle
Hunters in the West will be interested
to find that their methods have been
copied by our army in the Philippines.
There Is one district that has been trou-
bled more than is fair by bandits and
brown washingtons, and the army, see
ing no better way, has decided on a round
up 1t will do as the rabbit hunters In
Colorado nave been doing. GORDON OF
troops inclosing an area OF something
like twelve miles has been created. and
this line will slowly draw inward. the
Alstarice between The men narrowing at
every step All Inhabitants of the incios-
ed region win be compelled to retire to
the center of the pen, and when the
whole company has been corralled ana
the troops are a fairly solid line about It,
the officers will demand the surrender OF
the thieves and trouble makers. II this
surrender is not promptly made there will
be no kill and burn" order. yet there
is a vague notion that, as Mr.. Devery
put it, '.there'il be somethin' didin'."
In dealing with Filipinos we have dis
covered no such desperate courage as Is
shown by our Indians in their battles. In
one or two engagements with the red men
things like this have been attempted, but
the Indians refused to. be meekly driven
in. They stood on their rights and blazed
into the advancing lines with muzzle
leaders, revolvers and any other weapon
they had been able to buyq and steal.
and the final round up was not made till
the grass had been dewed with expensive
blood. But we can rely on the Filipinos
not to do this. They may be as willing
to kill as the Indians are, but they are
treacherous. and in their view 1t Is hon.
.orabie, and it is as customary to stab in
the back in the dark as to fight face to
face In the light. Suppose, however, that
our men had miscalculated the strength
of the bandits. Suppose that instead of q
handful of men they were rounding up
a brigade, that was falling back to a base
of supplies. Well. then there would be
'tsomethin didin'," too.
