ton, who has just completed tour of
inspection Of the various branches of

The Force of Appearances.

Appearances makes towards Of us
all. A lady shopping in the stores, in
advertently picked up another lady's
umbrella from the counter, had the
mistake pointed out to her rather frig-
idly, and of course returned the UNI
brella with apologies. She then re-
membered that she had no umbrella
with her at all; and as it, of course,
had begun to rain again by that time,
she went and bought one for herself,
as we'll as one for birthday present
to some one else. With the two UNI
brellas in her hand she hailed an ON
nibus in Victoria street, and, as luck
would have it. sat down opposite to
the very lady whose umbrella she had
inadvertently picked up. The coinci-
dence was too much fer the other lady.
Il congratulate you on your very sue
cessful morning" she said sarcastically
as she swept out of the omnibus. Ino-
cense should have asserted itself, but
it didn't. For the rightful owner OF
the two umbrellas found herself

Corporation Dissolved.

Chicago. By dissolving the .incor-

Franklin Union No. 4, the striking
press feeders here stole a march on
the Chicago Typothetae, the associa-
ton Of employers. The press feeders
being incorporated were liable to be
sued at law. Judge Holdom recently
fined the union $1,000, and damage
suits are now pending for many
times this amount on account Of the
strike, which is one Of the most per-
sistent ever fought in Chicago. If
the employers could have secured
judgment against the corporation
they might have been able to seize the
$4,000 in the union s treasury.

How Helen of Troy Died.

Helen, whose elopement caused the
Trojan War, was Grecian princess,
celebrated in mythology for her beau
ty. She was the wife of Menelaus, but
during his absence from Sparta she
fed with the Trojan prince, Paris, to
Troy. The siege of Troy by the Greeks
ensued, and was only terminated by
the destruction of the city. Paris hav-
ing been killed during the siege, she
became the wife of Delphobus, his
brother: but after the taking of the
city, she betrayed him to the Greeks,
and returned to Sparta with Menelaus,
whose forgiveness she had received.
After the latter's death she was forced
to leave Sparta, and retired to Rhodes,
where the queen of that island, Polyxo,
whose husband, Hepolemus, had been
killed at Troy, caused her to be seized
while bathing, tied to a tree and
strangled.

CRANK VISITS
WHITE HOUSE
CHILEAN Inventor Demands an Inter
view With President Roosevelt.
MADE DESPERATE FIGHT
Drew Revolver on the Detectives Who
Went to His Hotel to Arrest Him
Interesting Story the Man Tells.
Daffy Over Invention.

Washington Jerman Kehl, an in
sane Gillian and the most danger
Gus "White House crank vet cap
tured here, was arrested a few
nights ago. He has been in the city
over a month, but attention was not
attracted to him until Wednesday
night when he carried a letter to the
White House. In this he demanded
an interview with President Roose-
veft and threatened his life if his
demands were not granted, saying:
!" You will be sorry if you do not
see me, for will find you and I will
get you and kill you.''
This note was delivered in person
at the White House office by the in
sane man, and he rambled about the
grounds and building for some time.
The letter was turnd over to the Sc
cret service men and late this even
ing Agent Tyre and other detectives
located Kehl at the Engel Hotel.
He was not there when they called
but they waited and when he came in
he was put under arrest. He made a
desperate attempt to draw revolv-
er from his hip pocket to shoot the
detectives, who were searching him.
His arm was seized and the revolver
secured. A pair Of brass knuckles
were found in another pocket.
Kehl, according to his own story,
was in the hardware business in Con-
cepcion, Chill, until eight years ago.
Then he sold out the business and took
up the study of invention, with the
object, he said, of inventing float
ing propeller. This evidently turn
ed his mind He left Conception in
October for Washington, arriving in
Baltimore on Nov. 16, and coming
to this city three days later. During
the whole time Of his stay here he
occupied room at the Engle Hotel
Kshl's particular delusion was about
the ideal ship, gneral barge and
swimming propeller" which figures
as the principal one of his forty in
ventions. His object in coming to
Washington, he declared, was to get
President Roosevelt interested and to
secure the protection Of the govern
ment for his patents, and also to
form a series of stock companies for
the manufacturing of his inventions.
When arrested he carried copy Of
his letter to the president. In it
he outlined each of his imaginary in
ventions, and closed with the demand
that an early appointment be made
for an interview.
