The Democrats are carrying Indiana
again. remarks the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. They do it on the eve of
every important canvass. Sometimes
they used to carry the state on election
days, but those times ended several
years ago. Cleveland carried Indiana
in 1892, but since then it has been
constantly Republican, and the
chances are that it will be so in 1904.
The old Democratic combination of
the solid South with New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana work

feasible. Even If it should be made

PRESIDENTS SON HELD UP.
He Tried to Get in the House by the
Back Wav,

The New York World today says:
Theodore, jr, the eldest son of President
Roosevelt. had a narrow escape the other
night from being shot by secret service
men who guard his fathers home at Oys-
ter Bay.
He had been visiting the home of
neighbor, returning to Sycamore Hill about
o'clock in the morning. The President
and his family had gone to bed and the
house was in darkness. The moon was
shining brightly. but because of the dense
foliage objects even at a short distance
were indistinct
Young Teddy did not come up the
path generally used by those going to
the house. He took a short cut home
and approached 1t from the rear. The
secret service men on duty did not see
him until he was almost on the steps.
What do you want?" one demanded.
Teddy was slow in answering and
the click OF two revolvers was the next
sound he heard, followed by the sharp
command:
Throw up your handsr'
The youngster did not delay further.
Up went his hands. Still covering him
with their revolvers, the secret service
men walked up to him. They recognized
him. and he explained that he had been
out late visiting. Then he discovered that
he could not get into the house. all the
doors being locked.
So he Skinned up one of the posts of
the piazza and entered his room on the
second floor. Before he was permitted
to enter the house he was warned by
the men on duty that 1t would be much
safer for him to come up the regular
pathway in future when he was out late
at night and to whistle or make a noise
SO that he would not be mistaken for a
night prowler.
The secret service men refuse to dis
cuss the matter or to admit that they
stopped the young man. He thought the
joke a good one. and told some of his
friends how he had been held up.
The adventure of young Teddy" in
getting 80 near the house before he was
picked up by the secret service men
has resulted in a change in the method
Of guarding the Presidents home. Dur
ing some of the watches particularly in
the day time and during the early hours
of the evening, only one secret service
man has been on duty. After midnight
two men went on and remained until
after daylight, when they were relieved
by the single man, who took up the day
watch. Henceforth two men will be on
guard at all hours of the day and night.
The secret service men do not discour-
age the idea that 1t Is exceedingly dan
gerous to approach Sycamore Hill late at
night. They are constantly on the alert.
and no one is supposed to enter the
grounds without first interviewing them-
They are always armed, and each year
undergo a special course in pistol work,
which makes their aim quick and deadly.
