SAYS COLLINS KILLED HIM.
Statement of Prisoner in St Louis
 Seen by Rogers Brothers.

Seen by Rogers Brothers.
 Before Rudolph and Collins were taken from St Louis to Union, Rudolph said: .Pll bet 2 cents against my neck that if we are tried in Union they'll crack our necks for us. I intend to do all I can to get change of venue. Those people down there have fastened every crime that they ever failed to un- cover on me- ! don't want to let them pass on me. No, sir'' The prisoners were measured in the Bertillon room and rogues' gallery pictures were taken of them. The prisoners chatted pleas antly with a number of visitors Tues day, and Collins sang, "Tm going to live anyhow until I die.''
 Rogers brothers, the comedians, and several members of their company, wis ited the prisoners, being escorted by Detective Dougherty of the Pinkerton agency and Chief Desmond. Rudolph and Collins were released from their cells and allowed to walk in an en- closure in the hold-over section. There is diversity of opinion among those familiar with criminal characters re- garding the claims that the prisoners are ''bad men, ''They look to me" 7. said an old jail guard, "as if they were more apt to kill themselves with cigar cites than to kill men with pistols" William, alias Buck Mckay, who 1 is awaiting trial for the killing of negro last November in South St Louis, claims that he is acquainted with Ru- dolph and Collins. He says that his l brother. who is known as Cincinnati Charley is serving a sentence in the state penitentiary for the death Of man Collins, alias Lewis, killed at De Soto, Mo, about a year ago. The man was killed in fight among a party of crooks assembled there. Mckay says that Collins is the man who did the killing and that the crime was fastened upon his brother by the gang. His story is not credited by the police, al- though it is under investigation.
 q don't know Buck Mckay" said 1 Collins. q don't think [ ever met the ] gentleman. It is very convenient for a 1 fellow to .fasten crime on another man, especially if the other man is in | it. as I am.'' Jailer Heubler of St Louis has received a request from s'Buck" Mckay asking that Collins be made his cell mate when he is returned from Union. This request will, of l course, be refused.

NIGHT OF IRISH SONG.
Miss Nellie Dee Will Give Historical
 Side of Songs.

Miss Nellie Dee Will Give Historical
 Side of Songs.
 The talk which will be given at St Patrick's hall tomorrow evening by Miss Dee in the Might of Irish Song and Story" which the Catholic Wo- mems association will give, is entirely different from most talks on similar lines. Miss Dee has chosen the his torical side of the songs, that IS, she tells in a very entertaining manner of the way in which the Irish songs that will be sung are connected with the history of Ireland. For instance, a fayorite air of Robert Emmett's, one which was sung great deal at the time of his death, was set to new words by Thomas Moore, and is one Of his most popular melodies. Others of the songs have like significance and Miss Dee describes the events with which they are connected. The songs to be sung are:
 ''sing, Sweet Harp, Oh, Sing to Me"
 (a) Dear Harp of My Country" (b) 'iSilent, Oh Moyle."
 Let Erin Remember the Days of Old"
 "Last Rose of Summer"
 "Rich and Rare Were the Gems She Wora'
 There Is Not in This Wide World a Valley so Swet"
 Remember the Glories of Brian"
 "Oh, Blame Not the Bard"
 s'The Minstrel Boy.''
 '9The Harp That Once Through Tara's Halls.'
 The quartet who will sing the songs is composed of Miss Katherine Gloster, Miss Loretta Ryan, Thomas Maher and Felix Gregory. They will be un- der the leadership of Miss Dee, whose musical abilities are so we'll known. Aside from the history and sentiment of the evenings entertainment an un- usually good musical treat is in store for all who attend.

BOGUS POTENTATE'S STAMPS.
Partisan PhiIatelists Cunning1y De-
ceived by a Make-BeHeve
Eastern Monarch.

In an article on some notable in
stances of stamp forgeries writer in
the London Magazine says: Some
few years ago both the Matin and the
Petit Journal announced that the Gay
City would soon be visited by an east
ern potentate, his majesty, Marie l.,
of Sedang, an island a few hundred
miles off the coast of China, who would
be sure to find welcome from all true
Frenchmen, owing to the fact that his
majesty had assured his independence
in the teeth of pertidious Albion. In
due time, his majesty, wearing plenty
of jewels, with his ministers and
retinue, of gorgeously attired black
servants, arrived at famous hotel,
where he lived in regal magnifcence,
and Paris found a new sensation in
watching his daily drive along the
Bots de Boulogne. A few days later
some letters arrived bearing curious
y shaped and pretty designed stamp,
on which appeared the words 'Sedang"
two moons, as well as some French
colonial stamps. Partisan philatelists
gave huge brides to the hotel servants
for any Sedang stamps that came their
way, and so rapidly did these rise in
value that they soon changed hands at
LOCO francs.
This fact, too, was recorded in the
| newspapers, but when orders were
coming from all parts of France and
everything appeared propitious, a
very prominent stamp dealer received
command to wait on his majesty.
but after being received with great
ceremony, the king directed one of his
ministers to complete the contemplate
ed business. The dealer was told that
in consideration of the payment of
large sum down he would be appointed
sole agent for the stamps, and to this
he readily agreed. The minister then
whispered that for few thousand
louis he could buy up fine collection
| the minister had brought with him I'M
| beknown to the king, but the utmost
| secrecy would have to be observed, be-
cause if his majesty heard of it he (the
minister) would lose his head.
| A large sum of money found its way
into the Golfers of the bogus Marie l.
and his minister, and then Europe was
flooded with the stamp. 1t was
not, however, until a schoolboy wrote
to a newspaper asking where Sedane
was situated that the imposition was
discovered, which set all Paris laugh
| ing.
