BOSTON, Oct. 10.-An Italian Latin
list in a New York newspaper. Tele-
graf. has piled fame and heaped Iau-
rels upon our Teddy, even calling him
by that familiar name In the beginning
of an Archilochian minor verse. He
might have used the Archilochian ma
for, In addressing so great potentate;
unless he though colonies should not
be addressed iii terms applicable only
to majors. The whole ode has not
been seen only eight verses of 1t have
been reported. Naturally the poet be-
gins with war, but ii is best TO take
up first the four lines in which the
Telegrafic warbler sings the blushfng
peacemaker of Portsmouth:

NippontcuSQue cruOr maculabunt

The commas are omitted as unbe-

Is the dash. Thus 1t is rendered.

Is Corona" nominative OF ablative? Is
Cuba ditto? What does ''fulmineum"

Miller had tried to sell to him for use

RAPID CASE OF APPENDICITIS.
Midshipman Reichmuth Operated Upon
at Annapolis-Meriwethe Case.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Nd, November 14.-Mid-
shipman f. L. Rechmuth, first class, at the
academy is in the hospital of the institu-
ton in a weakened but not dangerous con-
dition as a result of an operation for appen-
dicitis, performed last night by the medical
staff of the academy, headed by DR.. James
c. Byrnes. The case. which developed with
lightning-like rapidity, is said to have been
a most malignant one. One of the officers
at the institution said today that had the
operation not been performed last night the
young man would have been dead before
morning. Mdshipman Reichmuth. who is
one of the crack athletes of the institution,
has suffered from appendicitis once before,
but was not operated upon at that time.
His home is in Manitou, Col, where his
parents now are. They were telegraphed
today and told that their sons condition
was most encoura ging and ii is not expected
that they will come to Annapolis.
The only development today in the case
of Midshipman Minor Meriwether jr., was
the departure for home of the midshipman's
father Mr.. Minor Meriwether. After a
final consultation this morning with Admit
raj Sands Mr.. Meriwether left for st. Louis
without his intention having been made
known to any one other than those at the
academy and without having made any
statement.

DEsCFNDS WITHOUT JAR.
Big Man "Floated" Down From a
Perilous Height

Pedestrians on Pennsylvania avenue who
had occasion to pass the Post Office Depart
ment about noon today may have noticed
that from a dormer window 140 feet from
the ground there dangled slender chain of
linked steel. From across the street it look
ed hardly larger than an ordinary clothes
line. Consequently it looked rather odd
and dangerous and few other things when
a big man stepped on the window sill, slip
ped metal hook attached TO a belt around
his waist in one of the links of the steel
chain, and stepped off into space. Even
those among the observers who at once re
allied that an experiment of some kind was
in progress, expected to see the big man
make that descent of 40 feet in uncom
fortably short order. But, a matter OF
fact. he just 'fioate down. 1t was eighty
seconds after he stepped off into space
when he landed on terra firma.
For most Of the distance the big man had
his hands in his pockets. He did not do
thing to accelerate or retard his descent
and came down slowly and evenly, landing
without a jar. Later two men made the
descent at the same time. one hooking his
belt in the endless chain OF steel after the
other had descended a few feet.
Those who We're Interested in the trials
and who made inquiries learned that they
had Witnessed a test OF the new Lewis pat
ent fire escape, which has practically been
adopted by the government for use on pub
lie buildings. and which is being put in
service all over the country. In this city
the Department of Agriculture is already
equipped with one of them and has ordered
one or two more, and yet others will be
put In place on the Post Office Department
and government buildings before long.
The new fire escape is remarkably simple
and the owners of the device, members of
the Lewis Manufacturing Company, of
which Mr.. John G. Slater of this city is
president, believe that In this simplicity lies
its efficiency. The device Is simply an arm
of steel, tested to a jerking strain of 5000
pounds, equipped with a wheel through
which runs the aforementioned endless
belt of slender steel links. This chain is
tested to a strain of 5000 pounds. The
downward movement of the chain, when q
weight is placed on 1t, is uniform this
result being attained by simple block fric-
ton device located back of the wheel The
friction increases In direct ratio to the
increase of weight.
In the event of fire the belts, which are
furnished with the apparatus are to be
caught and buckled around the waist, and a
steel hook on the front inserted in one of
the steel links. AS many persons as can
crowd on the steel chain may descend a
once without increasing the rapidity of the
chains movement.

Fined for Assault.

For knocking j. II. Boswell off his wagon
with a blow his jaw, Frank Jordan was
fined $40 in the Police Court this morning.
The trouble occurred yesterday afternoon
on street northwest, and Jordan was ar
rested by Detective Watson and Special
Policeman Reilly of the first precinct.
Boswell and Jordan played a game of
crap yesterday, and as the result of the
dispute which arose over the game, Jordan
challenged Boswell to a fight in the park
near the Center Market. When the time
for the duel came Boswell, 1t is said, re-
fused to enter the engagement and return
ed to his work. Jordan followed and he
struck Boswell on the jaw. Boswell reeied
back and toppled from the wagon seat.
