A WOULD-BE ASSASSIN.

Vice President Fairbanks was yester-
day saved from an attack by James Nc
Connell, a blacksmith, by the timely in
reference of detectives who surrounded
the speaker while he addressed an en-
thusiastic assemblage of 1000 persons
gathered in the public square at Flint,
Mich. Mr.. Fairbanks had been speak
ing for nearly 20 minutes, when Nc
Connell, who had been slowly making
his way through the crowd, made bold
effort to reach the side of the speaker
His right hand was placed on a rusty
revolver in his hip pocket as he sur
veyeG Mr. Fairbanks, and then he made
a quick movement, "a if to attack the
Vice President. In struggle with four
detectives who seized Mcconnell it was
necessary to choke him into submission.
While being placed in a patrol wagon
Mcconnell stoutly maintained that his
time would come soon and that he
would yet be able to carry out his pur-
pose aud assasinate his intended victim.
Following the wagon to the police sta
ton was a wildly Infatuated mob of 8, 600
men, who were determined to take the
law into their own hands, and cries Of
"Lynch him Lynch him. uttered by
privates at Fort Wayne, Mich, who had
taken part 10 the parade, seemed to meet
with approval from the sightseers who
thronged the street. Mcconnell i'm
plored the officers to protect him from
the clamoring mob. Once inside the
police station McConnelPs brazen air
again asserted itself He expressed
deep regret over his unsuccessful effort.
His pockets were filled with clippings
from Chicago newspapers. The police
believe that Mcconnell had planned to
commit the deed in Chicago. The pris-
oner does not deny that he was in Chi
cago when the Vice President returned
from his western trip. A doctor will
examine Mcconnell to determine whether
he is insane or not The Vice Presi-
dent was not alarmed at the attempt, but
his speech was interrupted for several
minutes. Mcconnell may be sent to an
insane asylum unless physicians declare
him mentally sound.

dethroned as ruler of Norway, and the

when King Oscar made formal protest

ruled by King Oscar, and will deiend
their threat with arms, II necessary.
Albeit diplomats do not believe that the

toned by the Swedish government.
Meantime, pending the selection OF
new king, Norway will be ruled by the

Rich Woman's Bath.

When that massive pile of ugliness
in Fifth avenue is finished and Senator
Clark takes up his residence there. his
young wife will have the most lux
urious bathroom in the world. 1t will
excel in its appointments the most
sumptuous baths of the early Romans.
and, beside it the bath of the modern
Oriental-which is a good deal more
of a fable than fact-will pale into
insignificance. Onyx. alabaster and
the finest marble ever quarried enter
into it's construction. There are show
ers and needles and plunges. and the
water will be filtered and will be as
pure and clear as crystal.
But the ons novelty MIS-. Clark will
possess which even Caesar did not en-
joy will be an ingenious arrangement
of tiny faucets from which rare per-
fumes may be drawn and the water i'm
pregnated with their sensuous odors.
She may bathe in softened water
which exhales the scent of the gera-
mum, or the violet or altar of roses.
The idea is a new one, and 1t is the
invention of a Pittsburg genius who
got carte blanche to design the most
luxurious and artistic bathroom in the
United States.

marking the desks. Any boy discov-
cred mutilating desk must be pun
ished-being offered his choice be-
tween paying five dollars or taking a
public whipping. The irresistible
combination of shiny-topped desk
and a brand-new knife in his pocket
was too much for Mark; he succumbed
to the temptation and whitfield away
until the teacher caught him. The
punishment was set for the following
day. and Marks father, thinking it a
pity the lad should be publicly
whipped gave him a lecture and a five.
dollar bill. Five dollars looked pretty
big to Mark. He thought 1t over care.
fully. and when the time came, with
the bill in his pocket. went up and tool
