THE MAN I'm THE BARREL
Was He a Well Known "Strike-
Breaker" or Was He Maduena
Benedetto? s

New York, April 20.-Poice Inspector
announced to-day that identi-
fcation Of the body that was found in
a barrel last Tuesday would be positively
made within a few hours and that the
would come from Buffalo,.
Il wish to say" said the inspector. that
all these stories stating that the murdered
man was mixed up in the Waterbury,

for them whatsoever. The So
luton of the mystery attached to the mur-

identified, the inspector said, by Joseph
De Prina, a brother-in-law Of Benedetto,
who is now serving a term in Sing Sing
prison. -. ~
Was He Strike-Breaker?
Three other men viewed the remains
of the murdered man who was found in
a barrel, and all of them are prepared to
take oath that it is the body of George
Morrisette, the strike breaker who has
been missing for nearly a month and was
one Of the most important witnesses
against the Waterbury strikers, several of
whom are now awaiting trial.
A telegram from .Taftville, Conn, says
that Mrs. George MOrrlSeLte declared she
recognized in a newspaper portrait of the
victim Of the barrel mystery the features
of her husband. Accompanied by her
brother, she started for New York this
morning at the request of Inspector Nc
Cluskey.
Neither Mrs. Morrisette nor any friend
nor relative can give the police the slight
est clew to the perpetrators of the. MUIR
der. They only know Morrisette was an
important witness against the union ac-
cused Of assault In Waterbury, Conn.,, and
/ left his home saying he was going there
and that, in addition to belonging to the
order of Foresters, he was member Of
some other secret society, the purposes
and objects of which he never revealed
to them.
Mrs Morrisette says her husband was
born in Grande V1e, Que. forty years
ago They were married there and came
to this country seven years ago. Accord

MR.. LEADBEATER HERE
Philosophical Lecturer Will Speak at the
First Unitarian Church To- (
morrow Evening. -..'-

E4T HE morrow Evening. - zG
Charles w. Leadbeater M. r., A. S., of
London, Eng, a wellknown writer, stu
dent and scientist of theosophical sub
jects, is now making a lecturing tour OF
the United States and arrived in Mime
apolis this morning. In his stay Of two
weeks he will give three public lectures at
the First Unitarian church, the first of
these Tuesday evening, the 21st.
Mr.. Leadbeater was for seven years a
of the Chruch of England, but
resigned his position in order to travel to
India with the late Nine. H. P. Blavatsky,
of whom he is a devoted disciple. For
twenty one years he devoted himself en-
tirely to work for the Theosophical Soci-
ETY. and to study along occult lines; five
years Of this time being spent in India,
Burma and Ceylon. He is a member of
the Royal sAsiatic Society; a special friend
and co-worlker of Mrs. Anne Besant, the
great theosophical leader.
In the course of lectures which the dis
tinguished guest of the Theosophical So
ciety will give while in this city he will
outline his late work, Man Visible and
Invisible by the aid of the stereopticon,
which will depict in colored illustrations
the appearance to trained clalrvoyant VI
sion Of the higher bodies of man. The
illustrations also show the effect upon the
astral body Of various types of emotion
and the colors of the different stages OF
evolution from primitive man to the sage.
These views were drawn by the hand of q
trained clairvoyant theosophist, a young
Russian nobleman, who has thus laid al
students of occultism under obligation fol
this glimpse into the higher world. 0
The Theosophical Society is an institu-
tional body, founded in this country ir
1875. Its general headquarters are al

over forty different countries, extending
from northern Sweden to New Zealand or
the south, and betting the entire world

AfAZZINI.

He had outved his age, though he was scarce
ly an Old man when he died But the "ad
Nauced republican Of the thirties and the fOrties
had never moved with the times. MazZini was
stranded on the ideas of 1S4S, themselves
somewhat belated inheritance from the past.
With the scientific and political movements
that were forming while MaZZini was dreaming
Of the Republic Of the Peoples and the Brother
hood Of Man he had small sympathy. He knew
nothing Of natural science and cared less for it.
DarU inism and the doctrines of evolution
passed him by ulInoved and uninterested. He
had never mastered the theories Of the modern
economists. Nor did he in the least understand
the significance Of the historic drama which was
being enacted under his eyes. The DEVELOPMENT
Of the new world-empires, Of the Greater Brit
ain, Russia, United Germany, the United States,
did not appeal TO him. His survey seldom trav-
e.led beyond Europe, and in his Europe the
Mediterranean nations still occupied a dispro-
Uortiouate place. He could not realize how
comparatively Insignificant, in the larger world
that was opening, Italy and her troubles, Aus
tria and her policies, had become. But one
would assuredly not pass from the record Of this
ardent dreamer with the sense that his life
spent il vain -(Sidney Low, in The COTnhilI

WHERE THE PRESIDENT RIDES.
Continued from ninth page.

that the President. who is a close student of
American dialects, detected in the speech of the
driver the fact that he hailed from Missouri.
AS Mr.. Roosevelt was full of the St. Louis fair
project, in which he takes very active inter
est he thought to compliment the driver by ask
ing him whether he did not come from Mis-
souri,.
Instantly that individual is said to have
pulled in his four horses, set the brake with his
foot, and turned impressively toward the Chief
Magistrate Mr.. President" he said my
father and mother onct went to Missouri on
visit, and they visited there twenty year. Dur
ing thet time I was born; but I want to tell you
right now thet I'm no derned Missourian."
As is well known, President Roosevelt likes
fiery mount. His riding experiences on the
great plains of the West supplemented his nat
ural fearlessness, and even among cowboys
whose boast is that they can straddle and stick
to any kind of an animal that has hair on it
the President is acknowledged as a crack per-
former.
What he missed most when he first came to
the White House, and before his favorite ami
mails arrived from Oyster Bay, were horses upon
which he could ride with the daring that gives
zest to his outings in the saddle. In an effort
to supply him with horses that might at least
temporarily meet his wants. his military aid
made q requisitiOn upon Fort NIyer for avail
able cavalry mounts
Officers, taking into consideration the fact
that the horses were to be ridden by the Chief
Executive of the nation, selected mounts which
were thoroughly trustworthy Their docility
when led around to the White House was the
chief point against them and they were dis
missed with scant inspection. Several other
patches Of horses met with the same repulse,
and finally the officers, discovering the desire
was for a mount that would require fearlessness
and skill in handling, picked out a couple of
mustangs which were urdeniably fractions, but
which also had all the outward and visible
signs OF very plebeian lineage.
When brought up TO the White House they be-
trayed all the necessary symptoms of the un-
easiness " hich in better appearing steeds would
have won for them the favor Of the President.
MI Roosevelt, however. could not reconcile
himself to selecting such animals. Had he

Fighting McCooks,' is told by his nephew. p.
J. McCook, of the local law firm of Hatch G.
McCook' who maintained the tradition of his
family IN the present generation by service in
Porto Rico in the Spanish War. The story. az
Mr.. McCook tells it, is as follows:
My uncle used to delight in twittfng his
brother Henry, Philadelphia clergyman. with
the charge of obstinacy. He was forever aIlud-
ing 10 this trait, and used to tell a boyhood
story to prove the obstinacy of the clerical
brother When they were both boys thev were
one day playing Indian in the backyard of
their old home, and the game they decided upon
as best was throwing hatchet, which was the
single tomahawk of their tribe. One day when
they were hurling this hatchet at an unofend-
ing post the general proposed that they should
take two shots apiece and the one that made
the best score should order the other to 90
down into the dark cellar and fetch out some
apples, a terrible and ignoninious forfeit They
agreed and went at the hatchet throwing. The
general lost at the game, and his brother in
stantly ordered that he fetch the apples
" 1 sha'n't,' said the general I'm going to
take another shot
No. you're not said his brother; we agreed
to two, and two are all there are going to be-
I'm going to shoot again; there ought to be
three and, anyway, 1 am the Oldest declared
the general
you'll see If you are declared the brother,
and running to the post he put both arms about
it and defantIy faced his brother.
"'Get out of the wayp shouted the future
general, whirlng the hatchet around his head.
"'You don't daren gneered the boy at the post
I'm going to count three, and at three the
hatchet goes came the answer, and without
more ado the future hero of Stone River began

hatchet. 1t flashed across the yard, but the
brother, still clinging to the post, turned his
head aside, the hatchet grazed his temple, cut
ting it slightly in passing and dropped beyond.
Clapping his handkerchief his bleeding fore
head, the defiant youngster shouted scornfully:
You didn't make me get out of the way, and
my! won't you catch it nowr

THE TAILS OF COMETS.
Chiefly Gaseous, but Some Particles
of Solid Matter.

Though the comet which has for the last week
so been family visible to the naked eye is not
such a spectacular object as the great ones
which appeared in 1882, 1858 and 1911, it IS
thought to be the brightest for the last ten
years The fact is, only small proportion Of
the comets discovered-and two or three are
seen on an average every twelve months-are
ever observed except through telescopes. No
one to-day regards them as omens of evil in
civilized lands and few persons now imagine
that any harm would result from collision
between one OF them and the earth-eXcept, per-
haps to the comet. Still, the simple fact that
they come from outside the solar system, some
times traversing orbits two thousand or three
thousand years in length imparts to them IN
interest which attaches neither to a planet nor
a fixed star"
By applying cameras and spectroscopes 10
their telescopes astronomers have been able 20
learn little about these mysterious visitors
that was not known half a century ago. For in
stance, there is evidence that most OF the ma
teriaI in the tail is gaseous but it is probable
that fine, dustlike, solid particles are also pes
ent. The vapor is partly, indeed largely com
posed of the same elements as illuminating 62s
hydrogen and carbon), and its spectrum closely
resembles those of olefant gas and acetylene =
has been suspected, too, that iron was there.
The nucleus or head, it is believed, is
made up of loosely associated bits OF mineral
matter the wreckase of which is found in
meteoric stones. More volatile material IS
doubtless mixed up with this inasmuch as the
tail of a comet appears only when the head ap-
proaches the sun. Another phenomenon which
suggests that solar warmth is the immediate
cause of that development is that the luminous
train seems to be shot out from the front of the
nucleus, or the side nearest the sun On coca
sions short fanlike projections continue to pcilt
in that direction, but the tail proper quickly
