saloon.
According to Zelgler's story. he and his
wife had conducted a boarding house In
Kansas City, Kan, and Caldwell was one
OF their boarders. Until his wife left
home, on Saturday, accompanied by Cald-
we'll, he was unaware that the latter had
been undermining the happiness Of his
home.
When Mrs Zeigler left home she took
with her $40, and from the husbands state
ments to the police, he seemed more anx-
ious about the money than he did about
prosecuting Caldwell. After the alleged
erring couple had been taken to the city
Jail Zeigler was willing TO forget and for
give so far as his wife was concerned and
the moment he confronted his wife he said:
Let us go home, babe, and let the other
fellow take care OF himself"
This did not suit Mrs. zeigler. as she
promptly replied: mot on your life"
Zeigler then suggested that she turn over
to him her pocketbook, but she refused.
Zeigler snatched the purse from her hand,
but Sergeant Gardiner as promptly took it
from him and returned 1t to the woman.
ziegler filed an information before Jus
tice Carson against Caldwell, but declined
to file one against his wife. Caldwell was
held in $1,000 bonds to appear this morning
and in the meantime was committed to the
county Jail. When last seen Ziegler was
trying TO induce his wife to return home
with him.

These gentlemen have expressed them
selves as favOrlng an organization at the
capital which shall afford social facilities
for statesmen, business men, diplomats
and others who make up the every day life
OF Washington. The Metropolitan club
draws the line at "men in trade" and as a
consequence the merchants doing business
in the national capital are barred. On
the other hand any member of the diplo-
matte corps has the entree even though as
I frequently happens. there may be "a bar
sinister upon his escutcheon."
The new club will be organized upon
broad lines. The millionaire will not be
excluded because he made his money in the
manufacture OF iron. The merchant will
be admitted IL he is the right sort OF a
fellow even though his income is derived

the Potomac with a new two-traok railroad
bridge. The company has been at work for
more than year in building piers for the
new structure. These piers are almost
completed, but owing TO the enormous de-
mand for steel structural supplies, there
is not plant In the country which would
undertake to build the new bridge this
year. 1t seemed therefore, that the rail-
road would be compelled to abandon the
project for changing It's method OF enter
ing Washington from the south for a year
or two longer. A way out OF the dificulty.
however, has been discovered. At present
the Pennsylvania crosses the Delaware on
a two-track bridge at Trenton. The ma
sonry work for a four-track bridge to take
the place Of the present structure is in
place and the steel for the bridge itself
has been delivered. The wise men Of the
Pennsylvania railroad have, therefore, con-
ceived OF the idea Of bringing the old bridge
at Trenton to Washington and erect the
same on the two piers now in place. Work
to this end will be started at once, as It Is
confidently thought that before winter sets
in the long desired new approach to wash
ington will be completed.
Richardson Turns TO Masonry.
Scottish Rite Masons throughout the
country, and particularly those connected
with the southern jurisdiction, will be in
terested in the statement recently made by
the grand commander of the southern fur

he will leave politics to devote all his time
In the future to the furtherance OF Scottish
Rite Masonry. James Daniel Richardson
holds today the most distinguished ONCE In

council in October, 1901.
Friends Expected 1t.
His friends in Washington have felt for
some time past that Mr.. Richardson would
leave politics to devote his whole atten-
tion to the furtherance Of Scottish Rite
Masonry. While IL Is not expected that he
will resign from the Fifty-eigh congress,
1t Is confidently thought that the Fifty
ninth congress will not see James d. Rich

he has sat continuously since the Forty

to the grand commander of southern Scot

OF that great body Of Masonry has some
rights to his time and best ability, in view
Of the commanding position which they
have given him, he feels that some younger
man should be entrusted with the policies

4 COMPOSERS SID DECLINE.

From The Pail Mall Gazette.
All music lovers will be very sorry to hear
that the latest reports about the health of
GiacomO Puccini, the composer of La BOheme"
and "TOsca," are very far from reasSurng.
1t is now some months since he was travelling
evening in his motor and thrown
out, his thigh bone being badly broken. He
was at once taken home, and passed many
weeks Of suffering, but was cheerful and hope
full, and all seemed going we'll. However the
weeks passed into months, and they say the
months will pass into years, and he still walks
with crutches, the bone will not knit.
Puccini was noted among Italians for his love
of sport, especially shooting. When his fingers
were not the key board of the piano they held
a gun, the tramping and physical fatigue being
not the least of the enjoyment. That this man.
almost giant in stature and strength should
become chronic invalid must distress not only
his nearest and dearest. but also those who
know him only through his music PuCcini
shows the marks of his suffering. physical and
mental. He is gaunt nd pale with express
sion which causes the eyes of those who know
him to fill with tears, SINCE the Italians say,
His life is finished

TH4CKER4Y,S MUSTACHE.
From Notes and Queries.

From Notes and Queries
In n note on Samuel Laurence's portrait OF
Thackeray-that representing the novelist's face
full-''The Illustrated London News" of Octo-
Der Is. 1885, says:
1t is not, must confess. altogether true to
his present appearance: for il wants a recent
and becoming addition to the upper lip, in the
shape of black mUStache, that contrasts most
admirably with a head of silver grey; but it is
like the man, and will be welcome to his many
admirers"
The reference here to the mustache is inter
esting for the that every portrait of
Thackeray with exception represents him
with a clean shaver upper lip. the exception be-
ing Maclises pencil drawing of the famous
''Titmarsh, which, however, belongs to a much
earlier date wiz. about 1910. and in which
there is just a suspicion of a mustache. Pre-
sumably the hiTsute appendage of 100 was
merely passing fancy, which the razor speed
lily disposed of. 1 should be glad TO know II
there exists any portrait of Thackeray of that
date showing the mustache.
