CLERGYMAN IS
HELD PRISONER.
PRIEST LOCKED UP FOR TWENTY
FOUR HOURS WITHOUT FOOD
OR WATER
Called to See Supposed Sick Woman
When Outrage Occurred-Tried
to Work Badger Game.

Cleveland, O., Aug. 26.-On the state
ment made to the police by Rev. Bene-
dict Rosinski, a Catholic priest of St.
Stanislaus church, that he had been held
prisoner for twenty-four hours, without
food Or water and forced to sign two
notes for $500 each and two checks for
like amounts, which had been since
cashed, besides being robbed of $50 and
some jewelry, two men and woman
were arrested today.
On Errand of Mercy.
The woman is said to have lured the
priest to her room in Cedar avenue by
pretending to be i'll and in need of spir-
itual consolation, and the men are said
to have rushed in on them, and held
Rev. RosinsH prisoner until he had sat
listed their demands.
Rev. Rosinski says that he received
two telephone messages on Thursday,
urging him to call on Jennie Oienski OF
3S9 Cedar avenue. He had been there
but a few moments when Julian Tuszyn-
ski rushed in and declaring himself to
be the woman's iancee, demanded that
the priest give up $4,000 for alternating
her affections.
Assault the Priest.
With Tuszynski was Leo Czechowsk,
both of whom, according to Rev. KOsin-
skis story, started at once to beat him
and tear his clothes from his back,
when he refused to give them any
money.
His jewelry was taken from him as
well as $50 and he was detained as a
prisoner for twenty-four hours without
food or drink until he consented to sign
the checks and notes.
Checks Are Cashed.
These checks were cashed by Tuszyn-
ski and the woman, it is said.
Rev. Rosinski notified the police and
the trio was arrested.
The two notes and 1919 were found
under a carpet in the woman's room.
They are charged with robbery and were
bound over to the grand jury.

mice. If thou hast made us, why dost
thou let us be trodden DOWN."
A stranger is fair game to a pygmy,
a legitimate mark for his little deadly
arrows. He sometimes traps the un-
wary. Having tied a cord to his ankle,
the pygmy conceals himself in the
bush. The other end of the string is
tied to a bOugh Of tree which
stretches across the forest path. When
some one comes that way the pygmy
agitates the Dough by jerking his
ankle. Every sound or motion Of the
forest is Of moment, and the new
conner stands still to look and listen.
Then the pygmy shoots him in the
back

lures, when rebuked, ''he was stran-

normally high wages, and all his en-
pIoyes receive liberal pensions in their
old age or in case Of sickness He
also provides literally for the widows
and children out Of his private purse
All these payments consume a largs
proportion Of the profits, so that the
Emperor's income from his estates is
comparatively small
Practically speaking, the German
Emperor is thus obliged to live on his
royal income of 100000 per annum,
which is altogether insufficient for his
requirements. The Kaiser has no per-
sonal extravagances, but lives SIM
pie and strenuous life Of hard work
and little luxury He spends little
money on his table, for the cuisine Of
the German imperial residence is no"
torious for it's inferiority.
The Kaiser Is not dandy, and
spends a comparatively small amount
every year on his clothes. The horses
he rides are not Of a particularly
good breed, and not unusually expen-
sive. He is not a gambler, and does
not indulge in other designations which
would be eXcusa BILE in his position.
He is, however, eXtravagant in one
respect, namely, in keeping M the
imperial magnifcence of his court on
a scale never previously attempted by
a King Of Prussia. The support Of rel
atives forms first charge on the
KaiserS income He has to provide
an annual allowance for his six sons,
and has to maintain a separate court
i for several more distant relatives
Apart from his expenditure for pur-
poses Of royal display, the Kaiser de-
| votes large sum every year to the
management of art and Of the
| drama. He is continually ordering
monuments to be erected at his own
expense, and buys pictures for presen-
tation to public galleries.
The Kaiser maintains the Royal
Opera House, the Royal Theater In
Berlin, and the Royal Theater at
Wiesbaden at his own expense All
three theaters are conducted only par
TALLY as proft-making concerns
With all these financial burdens the
Kaiser is unable to make both ends
meet on his income and has been
obliged to borrow money from some
Of his wealthy subjects.

AFRICAN PY6MiES.


Recent investigations Of the region
have excited new interest in the mys-
terious small folk who inhabit the for
ests Of the island. Tiny denizens of
the deep, still woods, sparing Of speech
and having either no form Of religious
worship, or a very crude one, they are
of very low order of intelligence
But they know how to make fire, to
poison their little murderous darts, and
they have a language, although it is
simple, and contains but few words.
Although averaging only about four
feet in height they are nevertheless
not to be despised as foemen. They
are strange, uncanny-lOOking creatures,
of lighter color than the average ne
gro, and having rich hair which rolls
in tightly-curled spiral locks. This
gives it the appearance Of growing In
tufts.
The pygmy race was known to the
Gncients. Aristotle, HerOdotus and
Homer wrote Of the dwarfs, and prob
ably many Of the legends Of gnOmes
and fairy folk grew out Of the misty
knowledge of these small tribes "a
kinde Of little people which are no big
ger than Boyes Of twelve yeares oIde,
but verie thicke, and live only upon
fleshe which they kill In the woods
with Bowes and Dartes," wrote sew
enteenth century author.
The pygmies have little or no idea Of
a Supreme Being. One tribe has been
found who in times Of danger prayed
to Yer" One traveller records such
a supplication.
Yer, if thou dost really exist, why
dost thou let us be slain? We ask thee
not for food, for we live on nuts and

RICH MANS SON IS
HELD IN MIZE CASE,
Police Arrest Earl Garrett in Connec-

Chicago.

Chicago, Ill.,, Aug. 26.-Earl Garrett,
6029 Ellis avenue, son of a rich Hyde
Park real estate dealer, was arrested
yesterday afternoon as a suspect in con-
nection with the murder of Mrs. Efie
Mize.
His arrest followed the giving of in
formation by a housekeeper, who told
the police that young Garrett came to
her the day after the murder and gave
her revolver to keep for him. The
housekeeper thought such request sus-
picious, and she made the circumstances
known to Inspector Hunt.
CARROTS arrest followed, but as he
gave a good account of his actions on
the night of the murder, it is not be-
lieved that he will be held beyond today.

PROBE GRAIN INSPECTION.
Wisconsin Minnesota Controversy Is Re-
ferred to United States Attorney
General Moody.

Superior, Wis, Aug. 25.-It was
learned yesterday that George M. Young
of North Dakota has taken up the grain
inspection matter with United States At
torney General Moody. The state sena-
tor asks the attorney general as to the
rights of Minnesota inspectors and the
railroads to do certain things, and urges
him to take vigorous action in the mat
ter if he should find that the provisions
of the interstate commerce act are being
violated. The reference of the matter
to the attorney general comes from the
fact that cars of grain consigned from
Dakota to Superior have been held Up
at Duluth and given Minnesota inspec
ton without being ordered for such in
SpectiOn.
