Chicago, Aug. S.-Armed with tin pans
and horns and one member OF the throng
beating loudly on boys drum, crowd
of men and boys last night stood in front
of house at 4917 Dearborn street.
Perched on the roof, sat a man astride a
ridge pole.
Il am going to heaven" he cried. Hal
lelujah. I am going to heaven ~
Some one in the street discovered him.
A crowd gathered and. while awaiting the
arrival of the police they held his atten-
ton. Pans were beaten and wild shouts
arose to the man far above the street
Small boys turned "cartwheels' and stood
on their heads to amuse the audience or
one.
Finally a wagon load Of bluecoats from
the Fiftieth street station arrived. Inc
efforts of the crowd were redoubled while
Policeman John Dunning started toward
the man.
Keep up that noise q moment longer" .
said the officer as he threw off his coat
and dashed within the house. A moment
later he reappeared on the roof, climbing
from a scuttle.
He Drew a Knife.
BY this time the demented man on the
roof had lost some interest in the proceed
ings below. He drew a painters putty
knife from his coat pocket and drew 1t
tightly across his throat several times.
The crowd on the street redoubled their
noise in an effort to prevent what looked
like certain suicide. go
Policeman Dunning crawled slowly
along the roof toward the man. Reaching
him. he sought to place him under arrest
when the maniac turned upon him, clasp
ing the officer in his arms.
''Look out for his knife, shouted the
crowd below but the policeman was too
busy to hear. The two men struggled
along the housetop, swaying from side to
side. The crazed man developed almost
superhuman strength. and at last dis
lodged the policeman. The two still fight
ing for supremacy, slipped down the
steep side Of the roof. Below the crowd
watched with bated breath, fearing every
minute that both contestants would be
dashed to pieces in their fall. For an
instant the policeman stopped himself by
digging the end of his heavy shoe into the
roof but the rotten shingles gave away,
and the battling men continued their way
towards the edge.
Policeman Wins Flight.
Some one in the crowd dashed into the
house and seized a blanket from al bed
room Finally the policeman ovefcame
his adversary who almost fainting was
being upheld with difficulty.
Some one bring a rope,'' cried Dun
ming.
A half dozen policemen hurried to the
ridgepole with a piece Of clothesline. anC
q moment later the two were dragged
to safety.
The man gave his name as Carl AlviI
and said he was d painter, As years old
He had recovered his reason when cross
examined, and told the officer that he hat
been subject to such attacks before. HI

structions to show Cornelius II. honors.
But at home the Yankees as they spit
around them in big circles, laugh heartily
about Vanderbilt, whose glorihcation may
cause him to hold his nose still higher. In
America the Vanderbilts do not enjoy a
good character. Old Cornelius was hated
for his unscrupulousness, and the young
Vanderbilts are despised as do-nothings
and conceited boobies. The men are in
telectualy and morally far below the
lowest ranks of American society,"
After saying that the persons the kaiser
should honor are men Of intellect and hon
orable achievements the article continues:
THE invisible crown which surrounds
the empty head OF the stupid money up
start is formed Of mud, blood and the
| sweat Of workers and weavers Such per-
| sons deserves no friendly consideration,
let alone glorihcation."
| The story is published here that Mr..
| Vanderbilt desired to purchase Castle
Marlenberg, SO closely associated with
German history and upon being informed
that it was not for sale, exclaimed:
II wanted It for a racing stable. These
Germans are tncurably idealists."

First Trial Of the Big Langley Aero.
plane To-day Proves Only
Partly Successful.
It Flew 600 Yards and Then Dove
Into the Water Machine
Somewhat Damaged.

Whitewater, Va, Aug. "a partly sue
cessful experiment with the fifteen-foot
Langley airship was made this morning
from the 1ouseboat in the Potomac river
off this point. The aeronaut started well
in straight line south with velocity Of
70 feet per second and flew about 600
yards.
Some DETECTION in the wings soon after
the launching caused it to take a down
ward course. The ship fell rapidly and
was impelled into the water under the
full power Of her engine. There was suf-
ficient power generated for a rapid flight
Of half or three-quarters of mile.
Under its full pressure the machine struck
the water and in a moment more had
disappeared from view. The machine
was recovered, considerably damaged.

Washington, Aug. S.-F'riends OF A. w.
Miller, who was discharged from the gov
eminent printing office and reinstated by
order Of President Roosevelt, are insisting
that the leaves OF absence of members Of
the arbitration committee be cancelled.
They assert that those who are employed
in the printing office have not worked
since Miller was reinstated and say they
are engaged in a campaign conducted for
the purpose of securing Miler's dismissal.
They claim that this is an injustice to
Miller and cite precedent to govern the
public printer. in ordering the men to re-
sumo their duties.
This is found in the case of President
Keller of the Letter Carriers Union, who
secured a leave Of absence and, engaged
in a campaign in Representative Loud's
district to bring about the defeat of the
Californian. When the facts were called
to the attention Of the postmaster general
he cancelled the leave. and ordered Keller
to resume his duties.

Burglary at FrYburg.

Some time during Wednesday night of
last week the general store of George
Fletcher, at Fryburg, Clarion county was
entered by burglars and robbed of money
and goods to the extent of about 5000.
The cash register was cal ried up to the
cross roads, about half mile from the
store, broken open and its contents, con-
sisting of Sl2 or Sl5 in change taken.
Such goods as hats, shoes, clothing,
watches and other iewelry, were also
taken, and Mr.. Fletcher estimates his
loss to be at least 5000. About the only
clue left behind was an old hat which
probably belonged to one of the thieves.
This may possibly throw some light on
the affair should any effort be made to
apprehend them.
1t is believed to have Teen the same
gang that few evenings prior forced an
entrance into the Deitz hotel, just oppo-
site the Fletcher store, and abstracted
considerable wine, cigars. etc. On this
occasion three men were seen on the
Fletcher store porch at a late hour 10y a
citizen who had been out late attending a
party. They were strangers TO the young
man who saw them, and when observed
they made hasty departure. 1t is
thought they had intended to make the
raid on the store that night, but feared
detection.

Marienyille'S Our Meat.

An effort is being put forth to arrange
for ball game, tennis tournament and
a shooting contest between Tionesta and
our home boys for next week. This GER
tainly is crowding the sport but the boys
say they must have whole string of
scalps. We hope to see them all.
The foregoing paragraph is from last
weeks Marien vile Express. The Sc
quel follows; After the appearance OF
this squib the telephones were kept warm
until a series of sporting events had been
arranged between the two towns. 1t was
first hoped to ring in a ball game with
the other events, but that could not well
be done on so short notice. Well our
friends from up on the summit arrived
early in the day, and as soon as possible
after dinner the sports began at both ends
of the town. The shooters repaired to
the gun clubs pleasant grounds on the
island and team match was quickly
put on the boards. Seven men from
each club comprised the teams, and as
they lined up and began business it look
ed for time like pretty even go, but
the Marienville boys, who had been ac-
customed to the Expert traps, found the
Maugatrap much more puzzling propo-
sition, hence did not shoot up to their
usual average. The same may be said of
the Tionesta club, most of whom had not
had any practice for several weeks. The
score resulted in Tionesta's favor by a
considerable lead-222 to lS6. Notwith-
standing this the event proved an inter-
esting one from start to finish, and as
only gentlemen were engaged in the con-
test, as is generally the case in trap shoot
ing events, the best of feeling prevailed
through the afternoon. Following is the
score, so birds to the man:

A Do Nothing Session.

The following lines are quoted
from Champ Clark's Washington
letter:
When Thomas Bracket Reed
was nominated for speaker of the
Fifty-fourth congress, in address
sing the Republican caucus, he
said: 1.-THE Fifty-ti first congress is
noted for what it did do. The
Fifty-fourth will be noted for what
it did not do" His strange and
frank prediction was fulfilled.
Few congresses that ever assem-
bled did less than the Ffty-fourth
aud none will more surely live in
history than the Fifty-first. It's the
historical landmark and for good
or evil largely influenced the des-
TIMES of the republic. This con-
gress, so far as short session is
concerned, seems determined to
follow the advice contained in Mr..
Reeds prediction as to the Fifty
fourth congress. 1t has deter
mined to pass the appropriation
bill, perhaps the ship subsidy bill,
and go home. it will be remem-
