BARRETT'S SECRETARY JAILED
Forged Name of Minister to Venezuela,
One Charge.

John Barrett. United States minister to
Venezuela caused the arrest yesterday at
Brighton Beach, Long Island, of
Arthur L: Alexander his former secretary.
Mr.. Barrett charges Alexander with steal
ing a typewriter and with forging his name
to two checks on the Chemical National
Bank One of the checks was for $50 and
the other for $3.50.
The check for the larger amount was
cashed at the Waldorf-Astoria where Min
lister Barrett is stopping while he is in
town. Alexander was known at the hotel
as Minister BarTctt's secretary, and it was
easy for him to cash the check there. The
other check was cashed at the Hotel St.
Paul, where Alexander and his wife were
living, the police say.
Alexander took the typewriter and forged
his employers name previous to July g. 1t
was on that date that his relations with
Minister Barret were severed. and it was
said last night that Alexander took with
him some valuable papers that Mr. Barrett
would like TO get back.
He had left the st. Paul when detectives
got after him, but yesterday morning they
caught him at the Brighton Beach Hotel.
The detectives say he had been living there
for few days. Alexander played the races,
his captors say, and they al!ege that they
have learned that he pawned the type
writer.
Alexander IS twenty-three years old, and
his wife is said to be very pretty woman.

PLAN TO BREAK THEATER TRUST.
Shuberts and Belasco at Head Of New
Deal

Announcement of n new combination OF
actors in America against what is known as
the theatrical trust was made by Lee Shu-
bert of S. S. Shubert & Lee Shubert in New
York yesterday The leading companies in
the new combination are those headed by
David Belasco and Mrs. Minnie Maddern
Fiske. Lee Shubert will manage the line of
theaters which will be placed at the dis
posal of Mr.. Belasco, Mrs. Fiske and others.
The new combine will back fifteen COM
panies on the road. and such actors as
Sarah Bernhard, Ada Rehan. Jefferson De
Angels, Henry Miller, Lillian Russell,
David Warfeld, Blanche Bates, Bertha
Galland, Robert Hillard, Mrs. Fiske.
Bertha Kalisch and Mrs. Leslie Carter.
These actors. under the new management,
expect within another week to have suf-
in AmericG--and England to play in the year
round.
Mr.. Shubert announced yesterday that his
company now has fourteen playhouses I'M
der its control. including theaters in New
York, Philadelphia. Chicago. ST. Louis and
London. England, and that he would within
a week be able to open about half a dozen
more theaters TO his attractions. among
them house In Boston. Besides these
places the new combination is counting
the support of Independent houses all over
the country.
The amendment by the theatrical synd-
cate managers of a contract which Mr.. Shu
bert says he made with them agreeing to
pay them - per cent of the profits on all
theaters, was the cause of his break from
the trust ranks. His frie ndliness toward
David Belasco during the last two months,
he said, was cause of trouble.

PREVENTION OF sUNsTRoKE.
How to Avoid the Perils of Heat and
Humidity.
rom the New York Herald

From the New York Herald
To keep cool and prevent sunstroke are
matters which must naturally interest all
suffering mortals in these times. We can
not alter conditions of heat or humidity. but
we may perhaps in a measure adapt our
selves to them. Aside from avoiding as
much as possible the direct rays of the
burning sun the greatest difficulty rests in
maintaining proper skin evaporation The
Herald has already pointed out the baneful
influence of humidity in interfering with
cutaneous exhalat!on Humidity thus be-
comes leading contributive factor to heat
proStration. Obviously the more chance
the skin has of disposing of eXcretory prod
ucts and Of maintaining a proper evapora-
ton of perspration the better will the sur
face be protected against external heat.
Nature indicates this by increasing the
tivity of the sweat glands during warm
weather. 1t is one of the most effective
methods of protection against sunstroke.
The moment this function is arrested there
is danger. The victim of heat prostration
always has dry, hot skin. 1t has been
shown by scientific experiment that during
perspiration the body parts with three times
as much of its internal heat as when the
surface is comparatively dry.
1t need not be said that clothing has very
much to do with the comfort and safety of
the individual under the varied conditions
of outside temperature. In hot weather the
ternal heat by light coverings and at the
same time to favor rapid dispersion of in
creased bodily temperature. Experience
and experiment have quite effectually set
tied these points.
Not only the texture but the color of the
fabric is taken into account. Cotton cloth
ing is perhaps the most desirable for sum-
mer wear in this climate. loose meshed
wooden coverings being next in efficiency.
The lighter the weight of the material the
better. SEARCHED underwear is always I'M
comfortable, as it prevents eXhalation. The
wilted shirt is the everyday argument
against stifened and impermeables cover
ings. Tight clothing is an abomination at
any time and special source of danger in
summer weather. the corset being a con-
spicuously defiant offender along such lines.
Colors differ in their power to absorb and
reflect the heat of the suns rays White
materials are always the coolest Then

Girl Kills Bear With Small Rifle.

From the Denver Post.
Miss Maude Riggles." says n. F. Spicer.
former mayor of Laramie Wyo., who is
now in Denver, who is only eighteen years
of age but g. young lady of good courage
and readiness of aim. shot and killed a
Gil bear, almost full grown, using
only one bullet from % caliber Marlin
rife, most remarkable performance,
when one remembers that a gun of that
size carries bullet not calculated to do
much harm in any event. The bullet en-
tered the huge animals ear. producing in
slant death. not even marring the hide
which will converted into a rug for the
plucky young ladys boudoir.
THE animal was chasing the calves in
a corral belonging to Miss Riggles father
when she made war upon II. She was so
close TO the bear, which had just thrown
a calf, as to make her position very dan
gerous. but she did not hesitate to fire,
the one shot being all that was necessary.
She did not faint or even turn pale, but
proceeded to summon help and skin the
animal 1t weighed several hundred pounds
and the fur was In excellent condition.

bear. but the third time fastened the loop
upon one of his hind feet. The bear ran
after the rope had been thrown and tried
to climb through barbed wire fence 1t
became entangled in the wire and the rope
and was fast. seemingly. Mr.. Murphy de-
clares that the animal with its forepaws
deliberately loosened the loop from its
hind foot. extricated itself from the barbed
chase, but could not again overtake the

DEFENSE OF VAN GEsSNER.
Co-defendant of Representative Will
hanson on the Stand.

DIR. Van Gessner. co-defendant with Rep
resentative Newton Williamson and United
States Commissioner Biggs In the trial for
subornation of perjury at Portland in con-
nection with the Oregon land frauds, sup
plemented by the testimony OF two minor
witnesses. yesterday presented the first evi-
dence for the defense before Judge De
Haven, in the circuit court. DR.. Van Cess
ner testified that he had been driven from
his leased ranges by the sheep war. and had
been forced to other pasture.
He had consulted with Attorneys Biggs
and Barfes. and was assured by them that
he had a perfect right to lend money on
timber claims. He then made known his
desire to acquire more range, and offered to
lend money on claims. taking IA mortgage
without interest, so long as he was allowed
to use the range for his sheep
DR.. Van Gessner averred again and again
with reference to various entrymen, whose
names were mentioned. that he lent them
money, but that he had In no way made or
entered into any agreement or understand
ing or contract. directly or indirectly. to
purchase any of their claims on their going
to patent. He wanted the range, he said
and lent the money and took a mortgage to
secure It.

THE DRUMFISH.
He Stands Guard at Inlet and Is Easily
Hooked
7 ON the New York Tribune.

ON the New York Tribune
Drumfish travel In schools, collecting at
the mouths Of bays between Florida and
New York. After disappearing from north
ern waters in winter. they return early, and
take their stations close to the surf IN
channels and inlets where they can prey
upon other fishes entering or departing
from bays. The nearest point to New York
where fishermen seek them is the rugged
and forbidding entrance to Barnegat bay
some sixty miles to the south of the me-
tropolis Owing to their habit of living In
inlets. they get the additional names Of
channel bass and channel fish.
Rod and reel fishermen. going to or COM
ing from their ocean bluetishing. pause to
capture few drumfish If the condition Of
the surf will permit. Any kind of bait is
sufficient, or even a bright metal sQuid.
When hooked the great drumfish puts up
a mighty battle. Ranging in weight from
20 to 100 pounds. and having powerful jaws,
fins and tail, the drumfish makes reels sing
and hum a livelier tune than any other fish
afoat except the big albacore
The chief value of the drumflsh lies in the
struggle he gives the fisherman. His flesh
is coarse and his food value is found most
ly in chowder, although certain foreigners
here eat II because II is cheap. The pound
net fishermen regard the drumiish as a
great pest as they can usually get only
fifty cents apiece for sixty-pound speci-
mems More often, however, they will
throw them overheard rather than handle
them at cent a pound.

Raeburn's Pictures.
From the London Chronicle.

from the LOndOn thronIcIe.
When Sir Henry Raeburn's pictures were
sold by auction in London after his death
in 1898 IT was thought a tremendous thing
that forty-nine of his pictures should have
realized the large sum of $1,000. There
could be no handsomer tribute to the fame
of this Edinburgh genius than that Lord
Tweedmouth should be able to command
over 80 600 for one painting alone. Some OF
Raeburn's contemporaries held qualified
opinions of his powers. 1t was weakness
of the painter to assume that because his
works were intended to hang high up on T.
wall they should be painted so as 10 be
viewed from the floor. He therefore fore
