"redax,s Narrow Escape.

The following story is told in the re-
port of a Casual Club" session, in the
Onlooker, Alfred Henry Lewis little
magazine: 1.-The other evening" said
Vacuum with a half smile, Il heard a
story of Mr.. Roosevelt's legislative
days in Albany. 1t was related by Mr..
Sheehy, our late tax commissioner. Mr..
Sheehy told the story well, for he has
as keen humor as ever came out of
Galway. When we were together in
the Legislature, Theodore (Mr. Sheehy
always calls the President "Theodore')
and I were close friends. One evening
we attended dog fight in the out
skirts, being invited by fellow law
maker who was a prime promoter of
the sport. 1t was good fight, we had
good seats, and we enjoyed the exer-
cises very much. In the midst of the
war and while the dogs were buekling
to it most assiduously, a captain of po-
lice opened the door. Everybody keep
mis- seat remarked the captain; you
are all and each under arrest Then
he brought in ten policemen to round
up the captives At the captains word,
Theodore leaped convulsively to his
feet. l pulled him down by the coat.

tones. At a crisis, Theodore used to

WAS 1T A RELIGIOUS MuRDERs

One of the New York papers has ad-
vanced the theory that Mrs. Joseph
Pulitzer of New York city, who sud-
denly disappeared last Tuesday night
and whose body was found in the Nor
ris Canal at Jersey City on last Thurs
day morning, was the victim of the al
legged Mormon doctrine of blood atone
ment
There does seem to be some ground
for this theory, but if there are re-
ligious murders in the Mormon Church
1t is strange that nothing had been
heard of them before. The doctrine of
blood atonement is that the soul of a
Mormon who sins is saved IL the sin
ner is slain by one of the elect of the
Mormon church.
There does not seem to be any doubt
now that Mrs. Pulitzer was murdered
by William Hooper Young, a grandson
OF Brigham Young. The woman was
lured TO his nat on the night Of her dis
appearance and there killed Her body
was placed in a trunk and carried 10

Joseph Jefferson tells a story of
dramatic business" in the earlier days
of the Walnut Street Theater in Phil
adelphia. Camille" was being play
ed, and all was going with intensity,
says the New York Times. Then
came a, scene between Camille and Ar
mand, in the course of which d serv-
ant was to enter with lights.
I'm those days." says Mr.. Jefferson,
'sea island cotton was stage ice cream,
just as molasses and water was stage
wine, sherry, or Eort according to the
proportion of molasses. Armand and
Camille were seated at the table where
they had been enjoying such viands as
these. and their dialogue was making
the very best sort of an impression on
a crowded house. Then in came that
maid servant with the wabbiest sort
of candelabra. The scene was so en-
crossing that she was scarcely noticed,
but when she set down her burden be-
tween the lovers and one candle tob-
pied out and put the ice cream in a
BLACKWELL, the strain was broken.
The entire audience burst into laugh
and the curtain had to be rung down."

"NAGGING. WIVES.

There is a certain amount of SYM
pathy that is due to the ex-Rev. Mr..
Henness of Iowa, whose "nagging"
wife drove him from the pulpit and
the church. We printed yesterday the
details of how Mr.. Henness gave up
his ministry and church membership
and thus ended the church trial In
which he was defendant on the charge
of having separated from his wife
There was no question of morality in
volved, and the preacher had offered
to provide for his wife's support
But he declared he could not live with
her. Her "nagging" was unbearable
and untitled him for his ministerial
labors. The church took the ground
that there could be no excuse for a
separation between the husband and
wife, hence the trial. which ended in
so sensational a manner. The incident
should be not without its lesson for
those wives who are never so happy as
when they are making their husbands
miserable with their peevishness, fault
finding and 'nagging" generally. We
are pleased to believe that such wives
are in the very, very small minority
and that the great majority of wives
devote themselves to promoting the
happiness and prosperity of their hus-
bands. But there are "naggers," and
a more disagreeable class of persons
does not exist upon the face of the
earth. "Nagging' is well calculated to
drive a man to drink. Mr.. Henness
displayed some moral courage when it
merely drove him out of the pulpit.

A Police MnIanrOn

A police captain who was dismissed
from the force this week, was respon-
sible for many amusing stories based
on his use-or misuse-of words, says
the New York Post. Once he asserted
that he never paid any attention to
unanimous letters" On another occa-
sion he is said to have referred to his
possession of a "veracious' appetite
Third avenue, he told a man one day,
runs paralyzed to Lexington avenue"
At another time, one story goes, he
was reading to an outgoing platoon
list of some clothing that had been re-
ported stolen. One item was a Kersey
coat. Next on the list, men," he an
nounced, in his rich brogue, sis kerr
osene coat" 1t was this captain who
directed a patrolman to open a win
dow in the station-house and "putre-
fly the air.
1t was not this captain, but a Ser
geant now dead, who, while testifying
in trial at police headquarters, ask
ed permission of the commissioner to
correct his testimony, saying:
MIR. Commissioner, / wish to retract
the Veracity of my former statement"

A Comma for Revenge.

Lately in a small town in Germany
the School Inspector arrived on his
tour of inspection too soon after his
last visit to please the Mayor, who
was asked to accompany him, says an
exchange.
Il should like to know why this ass
has come again so soon?" muttered the
Mayor to himself, as he put on his hat.
The inspector overheard the remark.
but pretended to ignore it, and was
soon busy examining the pupils in
punctuation. The Mayor told him:
We don't trouble about commas and
such like here"
The inspector told one of the pupils
to write on the blackboard, 1.-THE May
or of Ritzelbuttel says the inspector
is an ass"
Now" he added. put comma af-
ter Ritzelbuttel and another after in
spector."
The pupil did so, and it is believed
that the Mayor has altered his opinion
as TO the value of commas.

of blood atonement. 1t must be ad-
and is a woman worthy of belief her
story throws considerable light on the
murder.
She says that she had seen Mrs.
Pulitzer, the murdered woman, at MOI =
mon meetings, and that she knows that
Mrs. Pulitzer told her that she would
join the Mormon Church if her hus-
band were not so strongly opposed to
Mormonism. 1t seems that Mrs. Dick
inson had been invited to the rooms of
Young, and had there been threatened
with terrible punishment for backslid-
ing. 1t is her opinion that Young lured
Mrs. Pulitzer to his rooms on the plea
of talking with her on her duty in con-
nection with Mormonism, and then
murdered her because she would not
Join the Mormon Church.
But if the murder were a religious
one why was it that Young robbed the
woman of the jewelry she had on her
person? She had valuable ear and fin
ger rings, all of which he appropriated
and pawned. That does not look as if
he were influenced to do what he did
from a religious motive.
Doubtless the truth in regard to the
matter will be forthcoming in due time.
The case possesses some strange fea-
lures. That is why it is attracting I'M
usual interest. If it were only a com
mon murder 1t would be almost forgot

One of the greatest problems that an
army commander has to contend with
is that of transportation and subsist-
ence. The General Staff of the French
army has just been studying what it
considers a valuable object lesson on
this line by watching the movements
of the Barnum & Bailey circus. The
great circus carries over 700 people and
400 horses. On one morning last week
the circus train arrived at a certain
town at o'clock. At o'clock every
tent had been erected, a nice and elab-
crate hot breakfast had been prepared
and served to the 700 people, the horses
had all been stabbed, fed and curried,
and the costumes had been unpacked
ready for the days performance. A
high officer of the General Staff de-
clared that a crack French regiment
could not possibly provide for itself
with such celebrity. Subsequently there
was drill of one of the regiments of
artillery, at which the circus managers
were invited to be present and make
suggestions, and it is said Mr.. Bailey
pointed out to the French officers how
circus people would be able to cut
down the time consumed in the maneu-
vers very considerably.

patch from the home office in Bremen yesterday
saying that the Kronprinz Wilhelm which was
scheduled TO sail from that side on February
20. would start ten days earlier to bring Prince
Henry and his suite. The royal yacht Hohen-
Zollern, he said. would leave Bremerhaven some
time before the Kronprinz Wilhelm and would
arrive in this country about February 49,
Just where the yacht would dock after the
prince reached here. he said. had not yet been
decided. When Prince Henry finished his visit
IN this country he would probably return TO
Germany on the yacht which would be over
hauled while lying at the Hoboken pier and put
in her best trim to receive the royal visitor on
his arrival
The German Society of the City of New York
OF which Mr.. Schwab is president some time ago
fixed upon February % as the date for its an
nual dinner. and when II was learned that
Prince Henry contemplated coming here to be
present at the launching of the Emperor's yacht
It was decided TO ask him to attend the dinner
Nothing definite had been DONE however, Mr..
.SChwab said as II likely that Il would be
necessary TO change the date of the dinner be-
cause Of the possible launching Of the yacht
that date.
Karl Buenz the German consul general at
this port, had not received any official news of
the plans for Prince Henry's visit yesterday. but
said he was In constant communication with DR..
Won Holleben.
Wallace Downey, Of the Townsend & Downey
Shipbuilding and Repair Company, the firm
which is building the Emperor's yacht. said
yesterday that he would go to Washington
Friday 10 see the German ambassador and
range all the details for the launching. The
date. he said, had not been definitely settled but
would be determined when Mr.. Downey called
the ambassador
We can have the yacht all ready for launching
on February 10" he said but the day l would
prefer above all others is February 26. because
Of the tide conditions. Either February %, 26
or p will do nicely. While we have plenty of
water at our yard. still would rather take
chances, and for that reason prefer to get the
benefit OF the highest tide possible"
