Pettigrew Heard From.

a memorable barbecue at Columbus,
Ohio, by the Jefferson ackson-Lincoln
league OF that city, brought out the
bright lights Of modernized democ-
racy-Bryan, Lentz, johnson and
others, and the occasion was made a
political feast. Senator Pettigrew, OF
Sioux Falls, was invited, but was far
away and full of business and could not
attend. So he sent u characteristic
letter, reading as follows:
"My Dear Friends: | am out at the
mines. and will be here until April, so
| cannot attend the league meeting. l
would like to respond to the toast From
Lincoln Down to Hanna What a
parachute flight that would be! How
great the distance. 1t would take q
ray OF light longer to travel through
this space than from the sun to the
earth or from heaven to hell.
Your very truly,
r. F. Pettigrew.n
Mr.. Pettigrew has not been heard
from politically for q long time, but it
will be observed that he has not modi-
fed his views In the slightest degree.
The Columbus Press says his letter
"stirred the audience and this great
of the people was loudly
cheered." 1t is not improbable that
Mr.. Pettigrew may be heard from
again in politics when his business
affairs become so arranged that he can
spare a little time to the public.

The ease with which a Wisconsin
professor transferred his activities
from teaching to tending bar would
seem to disprove the frequently ex-
pressed idea that university training
disqualifies men for the ordinary bust

WONDERFUL THINGS
FOUND IN DIAMONDS
Exposed to Radium Rays, They Reveal
Properties Before Undiscovered.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-A quantity of
radium of the activity of 100000, the
first of it's kind ever seen here, will be
placed on exhibition at the American
Museum of Natural History Monday.
This radium, with some 100000 activ-
ity, has been used in connection with
the Roentgen and ultraviolet rays in
an investigation of the interesting
properties developed in many sub
stances, including the Bement- Morgan
collection of over $4,000 specimens, and
the Morgan Tiffany collection of gems,
several thousand in number, and some
thousands of other diamonds and other
gems and minerals.
Other diamonds, 1t is found, exhibit
and maintain a wonderful phosphor-
escence when exposed to radium rays,
the glow of some small diamonds being
clearly visible through six layers of
paper. The new gem, Kunzite, is one
of the most phosphorescent of. all the
substances examined, the entire gem
assuming, under the radium ray, a ricH
orange-red glow.

PHOTOGRAPHER THREATENS
SECRETARY HAY BY MAIL
Will ATTEND" to Him if His $4,000
Claim ls Not Paid.

NEW YORK, Sept. 6-Francis M.
Beuque, a photogra pher, was commit
ted to Bellevue hospital today, to be
examined as to his sanity. Beuque had
been arrested for writihgaa letter to
Secretary of State John Hay, in which
he threatened the secretary if a claim
of SAL 900 was not paidso
Detective Muller, of the Washington
police force, who made the arrest, ex-
planned that Beuque had been in the
photograph business in Hamburg, but
was compelled to leave the country,
selling out his business, Beuque claim
ed, at a great sacrifice.
This was the origin Of his grievance,
and his demand was that Secretary
Hay secure his reimbursement from
the German government. Muller said
| that Beuque had written letters on the
subject to the various presidents and
secretaries of state since the adminis-
tration of Harrison, none, however,
threatening in tone until this letter to
Secretary Hay, in which he declared
that If Mr.. Hay did not attend to his
claim, ne Beuquel would attend to
Mr.. Beuque, who is respectable in
dress and manner, expressed satisfac-
ton when arrested. declaring that pub
licity would aid him in getting the
money When asked why he wrote the
letter, Beuque replied:
Il want my money. 1t is what the
German government owes me-"
Magistrate Cornell declared that he
did not believe the man was in his
right mind, and cormitted him to
Bellevue for examination.
The Washington police say the
amount demanded by Beuque from the
authorities of Hamburg; Germany, was
10000 marks. This sum, he says, was
invested in 1889 IN a photograph gall
lery in that city, and he claims to have
lost it when he was expelled because he
refused to perform military duty on
the ground that he was an American.
He was given three days to. leave Ger
many, but through Secrstary of State
Blaine had the time EXTENDED to three
months.
The alleged threat in his recent let
ter to Secretary Hay was in the state
ment that he had written eight letters
to the government and the present one
would be the last. He said he would
take up matters then himself and
whatever he did you'd be "self-de-

OLD MAN is MISSING
Leaves Home and Disappears
and Police Can't Locate Him.

Charles Schneider, aged 76, is missing
from his home at 673 Charles street. and
his relatives fear that something has hap
pened to him. He and his aged wife live
on Charles street with their son Charles,
but yesterday afternoon shortly before 1
o'clock he left home and he has not been
seen nor heard of since.
The old man, who is lame and quite
feeble, left his home through the back
yard, without having advised his wife or
any one else of where he was going.
His son is afraid something has hap
pened to him, as he was never known to
do anything of the kind before. The
Schneiders came here from Jordan about
three years ago. and the family is holding
to the hope that the old gentleman may
have met some friend from Jordan and
returned there with him on a visit without
having taken the pains to say anything
about it to the family

Now, jes cause you're from Texas.
you dont seem TO believe what I'm

most peculiar things I ever seed was

minnow to a hunk o. bear meat.

CITY NEWS
PESTHOUSE is IDLE
For the First Time in a Year It's
Without a Smallpox Patient.

The smallpox detention hospital is
without a patient, for the first time in
year. The lone patient, a woman,
was given her freedom yesterday.
1T can be truly sap" remarked DR..
Ohage yesterday, that st. Paul has no
smallpox, but this condition may not
last long. During the early part of the
summer the cases were so numerous
that they threatened to swamp us, but
we are rid of them for a while now"
The last time the pesthouse was
without a patient was August a year
ago, but the period of rest was brief. A
month later cases were located almost
daily and it required much work to
stamp the disease out.
1t was this epidemic that called for
such a heavy drain on the quarantine
fund. So far $4,000 has been used, and
now DR.. Ohage is asking for $4,000
more to clear up about $500 worth Of
unpaid bills. The balance is needed as
an emergency fund.
