order to discover whether other mys-
FERROUS crimes besides those he ac-
knowledges committing may be laid al

is not Gessler Rosseau and says that
he took the first name from the Swiss
tyrant, Albrecht Gessler, who. accord
ing to tradition. compelled William Tell
to shoot the apple from his sons head.

Posseau is charged with attempting
to blackmail Patrick Kelly of Phla-
delphia, brother of the Owen Kelly

tumn. ROsSeau is said to have told
Patrick Kelly that his brother was
kept in hiding by members of an Irish
society and offered to reveal his place
of conceaiment for $500 Kelly per-
suaded RosSeau to go with him to the
Philadelphia city hall, where he was
arrested and where he afterward con
feSsed TO sending an Internal machine
to the Umbria in 1903 and to making
the recent attempt ut blowing up the
Frederick the Great statue. He said
he sent the warning to the police which
prevented the destruction of the UNI
bria because he did not wish to de
stroy life but only to scare the own
ers of the steamship and clear New
York harbor of British ships. He calls
himself a patriot and says he is of
American birth and Irish parentage
The police think he has confederates,
who have supplied him with money,
and that he may know something
about the attempt to blow up the Wei
land canal and the loss of the White
Star liner Naronic twelve years ago.

and then turned to the Bible and COM

Sir John Richard Robinson in his

an amusing incident during the visit OF
the Swat deputation from the Trans

and had an audience of her majesty
Queen Victoria. They were very gra-
ciously received. One of their number

Two years in the pension office is

Poetry politics, law and fighting
have mingled picturesquely in the life
of ex-Commissioner Ware. Born in 1871
at Hartford, Conn, he moved with his
parents to Iowa and was scarcely
twenty when the civil war broke out.
The very day Sumter was fired on he
enlisted in the Union army. He served
through the war and came out cap
tain. He is good lawyer and has sew
eral times been honored with public Of
flee, but his Rhymes of Ironquill' and
other literary ventures promise to give
him more fame than his political ven
lures or attainmentS as member of
the legal profession.
Mr.. Ware is never too busy to attend
a circus or eat pie. Two men prominent
in railroad affairs recently invited him
to lunch in a swell New York restau-
rant. The two men ordered an elabo-
rate spread. Ware was approached by
the waiter with menu card.

of his friends. "a half pie, and be sure
to leave the pie in the tin in which it
was baked. Bring me a spoon with
which to eat the pie and quart of

for Japanese to have the honor of
dying for the mikado. He does not ask
that full details of the manner in which
he sacrificed his life be telegraphed the

sued by the Japanese prevents the pub
lie from learning much about the per.
sonality of their leading soldiers. with
the exception of the commanding gen

ate subordinates.
For this reason little has been said
about even so important a factor in

from his own guns were flying over

In the Case of Eugene f. Ware PO-
etry Won Out.
Eugene f. Ware, who is perhaps best
known by his pen name of Ironquill,
is more interested in poetry than pen
sions. For this reason he recently re-
signed the Office of United States COM
missioner of pensions. which he as
sumed at the urgent request of Presi-
dent Roosevelt in 1902. He was sue
ceeded by Vespasan Warner. Mr..
