WARNINGS OF DANGER
GREET THE PRESIDENT
Alleged Conspiracy to Kidnap Cabi-
net Officers Unearthed.

The usual crop of rumors and alleged
inspired warnings concerning the dan
gers which viii beset the Presidents
movements on his coming tour has be
gun. Advice OF all kinds from all parts
Of the country will probably reach the
Executive Office and the heads OF the
several departments in the course OF the
next few days, along the lines of some
dispatches already made public.
Secretary Root is said TO have re-
ceived an unpaid telegram from Los An
geles, Cal. saying the President will
be in danger OF explosion, railroad ac-
cident, firearms, and elevator. these
three days. especially west Of Washing
ton. caused by eclipse OF sun and Mars
IN their equinoxes." The days referred
TO are March 2s. 29. and 80, which are
not included in the Presidents itinerary
The President viii not leave the White
House until April / The telegram is
said to have been sent in the name Of
Prof. PfueI" which the officials in
terpret plain fool"
dispatch from St. Paul Mimi. says
that J. c. Fremont. an aged negro in a
south Dakota town, has told Represen-
tative Tawney of Minnesota that an at
tempt originally planned TO take the
Fresideat life while travelling In that
section Oh the country has been changed
by the alleged conspirators into a
scheme for kidnapping Secretaries Shaw
and Root and Attorney General Knox
at some favorable point in Montana or
Colorado" and then carry them into
the mountains for ransom
The fact that none of the Cabinet
members named wiz be on the Presi-
dents tour at the time mentioned was
evidently not known by the enterprising
conspiratOrs or the negro informer.

Lucky Mistakes.

At the close of the civil war Cen
eral Shafter was an applicant for
first lieutenancy in the reorganized
army and had working in his behalf
a congressman whose knowledge of
army affairs was very limited. One
day this congressman sent him the
following message: "Dear Shafter-
l have just returned from a visit to
the secretary of war. find that it
will be impossible to have you ap-
pointed a first lieutenant, as that
rank is now full. However, the Sec
retary is willing to appoint you a
lieutenant colonel, which is the next
best thing. viii that do?" A sim
liar story is told of an applicant for
a clerkship who wrote to his con-
gresham in such bad scrawl that
the request was supposed to be for a
colonelcy. The congressman replied
that there was no colonelcies va
cant, but that he could secure a ma
jority, which he did, and his con-
stituent was speedily transformed
into a soldier of valor and expert
ence.

Indian PRAYER Sticks.

Those acquainted with Indian Gus
toms know of the prominence that
feathers hold in the religious and
social ceremonies of the red men.
Particularly among the Navajos and
Pueblos are these plume emblems
believed to have the utmost efficacy
for good or bad.
All about any Pueblo town may
be seen carefully whitfield sticks,
each with a tuft of downy feathers,
generally white ones, bound az the
top of it. They are prayer sticks
and are quite As curious as the pray
er wheels of Burma and the paper
prayers of the Chinese.
The feathers, stick and manner
Of tying the feathers vary according
to the nature of the prayer. The
Indian who wishes to ask favor of
the '"Trucs" prepares his feather
prayer with great secrecy. Then,
taking it to a proper spot, he prays
to those above and, planting his
stick, leaves it to continue his petit
ton.

CoMDERSsl STORIES.
How Peter cora'iuo Got One of the
Pope'S White skullcaps.

His holiness, the pope, naturally
writes very little himself, says Lon
don NJ. a. p, and, indeed, is one of
the hardest beings in the world to
get an autograph from. One of the
most attached and devoted servants
he has in his household is an Amer
ican, who holds a position in the
famous guard. Peter Donahue--
that is his namc-was anxious to
get something which would always
remind him of the pope, and he ask
ed for two things during one of the
periods when he was on duty at the
Vatican. One was one of the little
white skullcaps which his holiness
wears and the other was an auto
graph. The pope, who is very af-
fable and quite without airs with
those who are in his immediate en-
tourage, refused to give the skull.
cap-pcrhaps there was some rea-
son Of etiquette against it in the
iron code of papal ceremony-but
he held down his head playfully one
day and allowed my friend to snatch
the skullcap. The autograph my
friend obtained by making out a
check in the pope's own name so
that it required the pope's indorse-
ment to be cashcd. / saw the auto
graph. 1t was very small, very
round, very regular, not unlike the
autograph of Thackeray.
