YOU good luck" said the President.

old man. "I've voted for Presidents ever
since the days of the elder Harrison, but
I've never had the pleasure OF seeing one
before"

shed cheered as the President made his
way back to his car, and the old man Smith
almost shed tears Of JOY.

quarters last night on complaint OF James

According to Kely's complaint, Bullen

ton men arrested him last night al he was
about to board a train at Manhattan Cross
ing, in East New York
They had trouble with their prisoner,
who refused to accompany them as they
were not supplied with warrant for his
arrest. The detectives said he would have
to come just the same and they almost
dragged him to the Liberty avenue police
station
Bullen was well dressed and carried
three grips. The Pinkerton detectives
had trailed him for the past two weeks
from the Hotel Seville, Twenty-ninth street
and Madison avenue, where he had lived
up to September 10. to New London, Conn,
and thence to Lynbrook, Islip and Patch
ogue. He left the latter place yesterday

The carting of Bullen to the Liberty ave-
nue. polics station and then to the Brooklyn
Police Headquarters and finally to Man
haitian gave rise to wild rumor that the
man who had got sseo,OOO in securities from
the National City Bank had been caught.
Police all over the greater city called up
to inquire who the wonderful individual
was and what he looked like. A large
force of reporters also hurried to Head
quarters to learn all about it. This rumor
was no doubt caused by the refusal of the
Pinkerton detectives to tell the Liberty
avenue police just what the prisoner was
wanted for.

LONDON, Sept. 30.-Mr. and Mrs Stuy-
vesant sailed for New York to-day. Before
leaving they arranged with Sir Caspar
Purdon Clarke for the purchase for tho
Metropolitan Museum of Art of several
choice examples of French Renaissance
| wood carving
Robert w. De Forest, who sailed for New
York recently, had also approved>several
of these pieces, of which Sir Caspar is now
forming collection for the museum. He
has accumulated altogether over ons
hundred pieces Of French and English
examples. including excellent Gothic chests
and pieces of furniture.
The most important purchase is re-
markable selection Of French Louis XIV.
paneling, which was removed from the
Bibliotheque rationale of Paris at the
ti1ns of its reconstruction. These pieces.
which had formerly been part of the old
Royal Palace, include two bays, or sections,
from the floor to the ceiling, each OF which
is carved with trophies emblematical Of the
law. There are also warlike and other
beautifully carved emblems. The collec-
ton also includes good examples Of German
Renaissance furniture of wrought iron
work.
The correspondent Of THE Sun under
stands that j. Pierpont Morgan during
recent visit here acquired three mag
nificent small altars or shrines Of ancient
workmanship, which he added to his
treasures in the South Kensington Museum.
The most valuable altar il one cut from
solid rock crystal, with enameled gold
medallions signed by the famous gold
smith Adam Van Vianen of Utrecht, which
had been made for Maximilian the Great
of Bavaria. 1t is wonderful specimen
OF Flemish work of the sixteenth century.
In the center of the altar are gold worked
figures of the Virgin and Child. This
piece is the third example OF the same
class acquired by Mr.. Morgan during
last summer.
The second is a smaller shrine in which
gold figures of the Virgin and two attend
ants enclosed in an octagonal case are
standing on a pedestal and supporting a
cross the several parts being secured to-
gether by bands Of gold, richly ornamented.
This came from Spain and is inscribed and
attributed to Benvenuto Cellini.
The smallest Of the three is gem, a
Corintbian column Of rock crystal with a
gold enameled cap and base. The figure
of Christ is attached 10 the column with u
cross.
Critics pronounce these three the finest
examples of their kind and absolutely unlike
anything known Of the medieval gold
smiths art. Their condition is perfect and
their value ell ormous.

The Bronx Detective Bureau made an
arrest shortly before midnight last night

Pfeiffer, who was murdered two weeks

whom the police charge with the crime
but the police thought he knew where
Girard could be found.
The prisoner was taken to the head
quarters of the Bronx police and soon
hustled to the home of Coroner O'Gorman
to be examined under oath. The men in
the Bronx Detective Bureau at first re-
fused all information as to the arrest to
reporters, but later said that the man had
been let 60 after he had told something
about man who he said had been shelter
ing Girard.
1t was stated later that the police had
learned that Girard hal never left The
Bronx, but was sheltered and cared for
by friends in one of the coal yards along
the Harlem River. A squad of detectives
and policemen in plain clothes were sent out
shortly after the arrest to search the coal
yards all along the Harlem River front from
the Madison avenue bridge to The Bronx

RILEY MADE TOWN FAMOUS.
Department Wipes II on the Postal Mag
and TailhOlt Is no More.

1NDIANAPoLIs, Ind, Sept. 30-With the
close of business to-day The Little Town
of Tailholt," Hancock county, made famous
by the poem of James Whitcomb Riley,
ceased to exist, the Post Office Department
decreeing that it should bear the name of
Carrollton, and should henceforth be de-
graded into rural route station.
The people of the town have clung to q
name which was given it in derision when
it was first plated, and since Mr.. Riley made
it famous with its -One post office and a
woman keepin' hit" they have taken special
pride in the fact that they live in the place
and have always pointed to Riley's poem
as picture true to life.
When the people have been jeered about
the name they have replied with Riley
But the little town Of Tailholt Is good
enough for me-
They are naturally incensed that the
Government should step in and disoon-
tinue the post office and make Tailholt
only a rural route station with a new name,
but they are powerless TO prevent the
degradation, though determined among
themselves that, be it known to the authori-
ties at Washington by what ever name
it may, to them it shall be Tailhoit as Of
yore.
Speaking Of the change to-day. an old
resident quoted the last verse Of Riley's
poem IA follows tears coming into bis
eyes as he did SO:
You kin smile. and turn yer nose up. and
Joke and hev Yer fun,
And laugh and holler. "Tailholt's q better
holt n none;
Ef the city suits you better. wy. it's whore
you'd ort to be
But the little town O. Tailholt's good enough
