0eutlemanly Burglar.

ri Another Of those gentle and accom-
modating burglars entered the resi-
dence Of Mrs. 5. J. Reed. Minneapolis,
ransacked all the rooms on the first
floor while the family slept, and then
began search, of the sleeping rooms
when he was asked to desist.
Mrs. Reed was awakened by some
one coming quietly up the stairs, but
hadn't time to investigate before q
dark lantern was flashed in her face.
$50 away from here" said Mrs
Reed, ''or my sons will shoot you."
IAN right" said the burglar, and he
walked quietly down the stairs and
out of the front door.
The man had turned everything
topsy turvy, but found only few
trinkets. He overlooked $50 in a cabi-
net. Mrs. Reed saw the mans face
plainly and was able to give good
description of the man to the police.

Hon. Bourke Cock the men and the
: r. ~ ran. occasion the floor
of the house may we'll become the
arena for dramatic scenes equal in in
tensity and interest to any of the great
days which once made the popular
branch of congress the center of attrac-
ton for those who throng the capitol.
rBourke Cochran, of course, is giant
among popular ofators. 1t is doubtful
whether in all American history there
has been any man who could exceed
him as an overpowering oratorical per-
sonality before a popular assembly. He
is big of body, big Of head, big of
voice, big in magnetism, with a genius
for pharse-making and q wealth of in
vective with which no man of the pres
ent generation can compete.
It is doubtful whether In all the his
tory of American politics there has
been a more impressive oratorical tri-
umph than that which Cochran won in
the Democratic convention of 1892 at
Chicago. In that year Cochran attend
ed the convention as q member of the
Tammany delegation from New York
who were bent upon defeating the NOM
ination Of Grover Cleveland, and who
united in q written appeal to the dele
gates from other states against Cleve-
lands nomination on the ground that
it would. surely involve the loss Of the
Empire state to the democratic party.
The convention was in continuous ses-
ci1 IN ho Wi hours
during the day and far into the night.
The rain beat upon the roof, the great
crowd of 10000 people surged and
howled and altogether it was an unruly
mob. The sentiment for Cleveland was
dominant and the democratic managers
under the lead of William c. Whitney
had completed the arrangements for
his nomination. For hours the most
effective orators in the party had been
appealing from the platform some in
favor of Cleveland. others against him,
but no matter who they were or whom
they favored they were drowned in the
fury Of the crowd. Their oratory was
a voiceless pantomime. Then at three
O'Clock in the morning Cochran rose
and plowed forward to place on the
platform. He had not been speaking
two minutes before he had the great
auditorium silent under the spell of his
<eloquence and he held a hostile audi
'rence there for an hour, while he mar
shalled argument after argument
against the former president, who was
as he described it popular on every
day except election day." Then after
he had concluded his speech the con-
vention went calmly to work and
placed in nomination the man against
whom he had let loose the floods of his
.elOQuence.

AttemDted Suicide.

Soaked in blood which flowed from
several Jagged wounds in his throat,
Hans Olson of St. Paul was found by
a small newsboy, lying unconscious
behind one of the large billboards on
Wabasha street, just across from the
new capitol.
In determined effort to end his life,
the man had gashed his throat in three
or four places with piece OF broken
glass which he had picked up on the
street.
Some of the smaller arteries had been
severed, the jugular vein laid bare
and the flow of blood from the wounds
was so profuse that Olson must have
died in a very short time had he not
been given prompt attention.
