WOMEN CAPTURE BOOK AGENT
Lock Him in Room and Hold Him

specIal to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW BRUNSWISK, N. j.. Feb. A.
A book agent, Isaac Salz, who is only
twenty years old, called at the home
of Mrs. Baronsky, at Perth Amboy,
yesterday, to sell some books.
A company has been selling books
through agents in this section of the
country for some time at ten cents
each. The scheme is on the trading
stamp plan. After person has bought
flfty-five of the books at ten cents
each he is supposed to get premium
Mrs. Baronsky had purchased a lot
of the books and had expected that
her premium would be gold watch.
She heard nothing more of her premi-
UNI. &c. when Salz appeared yester-
day morning and tried to sell her some
more books on the same plan, she po-
litely asked him into the house and
the agent thought he was good for a
large order. He had never met Mrs.
Baronsky before. After she uShered
him into a room she locked the door.
Then she called in some of her women
neighbors and they stood guard at the
door, all but one, who ran to police
headquarters. 1t took four hours to
get a policeman. When he did arrive,
he escorted all hands, the woman and
the youthful agent, to the station
house Salz was discharged when ii
was learned that he was not the agent
from whom Mrs. Baronsky had bought
books before.

exception of the color, which is white.

sensation for the breed is EXTREMITY
rare. Few are in existence and these
are owned by multimillionaires. The
dogs are called butterfly or squirrel

wings of butterfly and the tail, which
is heavily feathered, curls around the
back like the appendange of the squir-
rel. The color is mahogany red, ruby
or chestnut.

will occur on the last day, when the
packs of hunters are to be put through
their PAGES by the master of hounds.

SPO0KS HAUNT BUILDING
Police Are Called and Hear STRANGE
Sounds, but Find No Living
Things
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
DULUTH, Mimi, Feb. 4.-Uncanny
noises for three nights in a vacant
building which has been locked I'D since
It's last tenants moved out several weeks
ago have compelled three families In
rooms over 113 West Fifth street to
seek the aid Of the police in solving the
problem. They say that no sooner are
they asleep than they are disturbed by
noises made by unseen things in the
vacant room on the ground floor which
was occupied for several years as a
saloon.
For three nights the noises have con-
tlnued, 1t is declared. Members of the
families who occupy the upper rooms
told Lieut.. Schultz of the police de-
partment today that the racket begins
at 10 o'clock at night and continues
internationally until midnight.
On being pressed to describe the
sounds, the complainants, among whom
are Oswald Tweed, a young married
man, and his wife, said that the noises
were like those which ensue when heavy
boxes or crates are dragged along the
floor, accompanied by the sounds of
metallic, small articles thrown violent
ly against the wooden wainscoting
After lull of a few seconds, they say,
the sounds Of footsteps of several per-
sons walking hurriedly across the floor
can De distinctly heard at times, and
the noise is almost deafening.
Arising from their beds on Friday
night, from which they had been driven
by the din, two tenants of the upstairs
rooms summoned officer William ONeil
from his beat to make an investigations
He heard the noise from the second
floor, and calling another officer, whom
he stationed at the rear as guard, he
entered the front door with key, which
he had procured from the agent of the
building. There was no person in the
room and it was vacant, with the ex-
ception of the front and back bar fix
lures, safe, icebox and telephone.
The noise was resumed shortly after
the officers left the place.
Ida Mccormick, a colored woman, was
murdered, it is said, by Charles e.
Henderson in the adjoining building
June !, 1902, and some of the super
stitious tenants Of the rooms over 1913
are inclined to connect the tragedy
with the strange sounds. Investigations
will be made by the police.

HUNT RABBITS WITH HORNS
Fasten the Horn to Piece of Hose
Poke 1t In the Burrow
and Blow

GENESEO, N. Y, Feb. 4.-Rabbit
hunters up this way have discovered
in the season just closed that a fish
horn and a piece of rubber hose are
valuable additions to the sportsman's
ordinary outfit.
For the sportsman who sticks to the
letter of the law this has meant an
empty bag unless he was willing to do
some hard digging. Those who have
been willing to stretch a point and take
chance have used ferrets.
There is nothing that a rabbit breads
so much as one Of these long, Sinking
bloodthirsty animals. Let ferret enter
the burroW where a rabbit has taken
refuge and you'll get action quickly.
Hunters up here have found that the
fishhorn and the rubber hose will serve
the same purpose just about as WELL
The hose is attached to the mouthpiece
of the horn, and the horn is pushed
into the hole as far as possible. One
good blast will usually dislodge the
cottontail, which pops out with the
speed almost of an electric spark.
The f1rshhorn Is good deal better in
many ways than the ferret. At best a
ferret is treacherous, and the man who
handles one Is apt at any moment to
be obliged to pry the creatures teeth
out of his flesh.
Besides, no matter how completely
the ferret's teeth have been blunted,
every once in while he is sure to nail
a rabbit in the hole, and when he does
that it's usually an all day job for the
hunter to get him back into the bag.
He will gorge himself on the rabbits
blood and then curl up in the remotest
recess of the hole and sleep his dinner
off. Many a black mark has been set
down in the recording angels book
against a hunter whose ferret had
played this trick.
The fishhorn method of starting the
rabbit out, besides being within the
law, also is much more humane than
the use of a ferret. The squeal of
rabbit when it catches sight OF the
ferret's two glowing eyes advancing
toward 1t in the darkness of the burrow
Is pitiful. and this alone prevents many
sportsmen from using the animal.

LOVE AT A LUNCH COUNTER
Entranced With a Waitress, Man
Pops the Question While Eat
ina a Steak

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Feb. Above
over a lunch counter is the expert
ence of Jesse Moore, a fireman on the
Union Pacific west from here. While
eating at the u. p. restaurant in this
city about Christmas time Moore saw
for the first time Miss Jessie Lloyd,
q pretty waitress, and their marriage
yesterday was the elimination of such
meeting. Moore did not wait for the
preliminary courtship, but after or
dering his first steak engaged Miss
Lloyd in conversation. and before the
steak was finished had asked her to
become his wife. She promptly let fall
dish of potatoes which She had in
her hand, but yes" was forthcom-
ing. They could not. however, agree
on date, when Moore took out his
watch TO ascertain the time, and
noticing the number on the case to be
116, interpreted it TO mean the 10th
day OF the first month. and that ae-
cordingly was fixed for the wedding
day.

MANAGER OF HERMAN
ARRIVES FROM CHICAGO
NATE LEWIS TELLS OF RING
SENTIMENT
Says Herman Will Try for Knock
out-Joe Cans VIII Be at the
Rngside-Eastern Fans Interested
in Coming Battle

Nate Lewis, manager of Kid Her.
man, arrived in Los Angeles from Chi
cago yesterday, for the purpose OF
supervising the finishing details OF
Hermans training.
Right busy got Mr.. Lewis upon his
arrival and went forth to tell what
they think of his protege in dear old
Chicago. He declares that Herman Is
worker par excellence and for this
reason he allowed him to venture forth
among the wilds of California without
a keeper.
Lewis brings the good word that east
ern ring fans are waxing more than
enthusiastic over the coming fray In
which Herman will endeavor to sue
cessfully put Herrera out of the pres
ent running. and Chicago will be thrice
jubilant should the Kid bring off the
coup.
Il don't believe the bout will excite
as much interest out here as back
where we are up against it for respec-
table ring exhibitions. Everyone
thinks that Herman will be the next
lightweight champion and any doubt
Of his ability to best Nelson will dis
appear provided we win against Her
rera. The right of the Mexican is
talked a good deal about and that is
the reason why he is considered at all
dangerous for Herman.
zone thing we will try to do above
all and that is to knock Herrera out,
for no one else has yet accomplished
1t. Battling Nelson couldn't do it and
1t would be convenient thing to use
for an argument to get him into the
ring. L don't believe Well have any
trouble about that though, because
Nolan has promised me that he will
give the Kid chance if he gets away
with Herrera"
The question was put to Lewis con-
corning the opinion beyond the Rock
les preceding the Corbett-Herrera go:
well, to be candid, we thought Cor
bett would win that battle and it was
a great surprise when we heard what
had happened in the fifth round"
According to Lewis Joe Cans will
be at the ringside on next Friday
night to challenge the winner. 81
talked with Joe just before leaving
Chicago, and he promised to be ON
hand to challenge the winner.
Yes, 1T will be bad for Nelson If he
refuses to match with Cans. The pub
lie are clamoring for 1t and the Dane
is already having 1t put to him regard
ing his Willingness to go on with the
negro"
Herman is to ease off in his training
and nothing but light gymnasium work
will be the order of things from now on.

REWARD FOR STOPPING CAR
Motorman Facing a Chicago Blizzard
Astonished by Midnight
Passenger
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-Edward e. Rus
sell, an ElSton avenue trolley car mo-
torman, is slowly recovering from an
amazing experience which menaced
him with heart disease. 1t happened
shortly before midnight Sunday, when
he was speeding his car in the direction
of the city, it being his last trip from
Mayfair.
An icy wind swept Elston avenue,
chilling the motorman to the bone, de-
spite his thick layers of clothing
AT Irving Park boulevard man and
woman wildly signaled the onrushing
car. 1t was brought to standstill as
promptly as the benumbed fingers could
work the ice-fettered brake. On board
ing the car the woman hurried to a
seat, while the man fished out a roll of
bills from an inside pocket, stripped off
new twenty dollar note and STROBE to
the front platform.
Here's $50 for you, my friend" said
the new passenger, showing the bank
note into the astonished motormans
hand. ut is a little token of my deep
appreciation for your having stopped
the car to take my wife and me aboard.
l had given up all hope that any car
would stop for u.s." explained the
stranger.
The motorman retained sufficient
presence of mind to pocket the twenty,
but blow from feather would have
fioored him. The ready money pas
senger was George Flint, a wealthy
chemical manufacturer of 257S Hamil-
ton avenue, Avondale. He and his wife
had for half an hour stood on the wind
swept corner vainly striving to stop
passing trolley cars. Eight motormen
had ignored them.

FAUN FACE ON FONT

Strong Controversy
Special to The Herald.
CLEVELAND, o., Feb. Are the
faces on the new baptismaI font of
the First Methodist church stayrs or
gargoyles2 If they are satyrs what
significance does this Greek emblem
have upon an orothodox church SER
vice, is a question some of the mem
bers of the congregation are asking.
The Rev. DR.. Charles b. Mitchell,
pastor of the church, says he doesn't
know which they are, and goes no
further than that Professor A. D. Sew
erance of the Western Reserve uni
verslty says the faces are images Of
the Roman god Faunus, corresponding
TO the Greek satyr.
The font, q beautiful piece of work.
is gift to the church from j. Mil
ton Dyer, the architect of the ediflce.
1t Is an extremely ornate affair I'm
Carrara marble, five feet high and
carved i'm Italy. The decorative scheme
Is Of the renaissance style. The dec
orations are In low relief.
II don't know what the faces are
representative Of" said the Rev. DR..
church, last evening. "They are either
gargoyles or satyrs. AS 1 understand
1t, the gargoyle frightens away the
devil and is usual on pieces of arch
itecture. No, l have never observed
them on baptismal fonts, L believe. The
pointed ears seem to give a cast Of
countenance suggestive of the satyr."
II should say that the face was that
Of a satyr," said Professor A. d. Sew
erance when first shown a picture of
the font. Professor Severance is an
authority on medieval architecture and
for several years has been instructor
at Adelbert college in medieval GUS
toms and usages. He has made many
trips abroad and studied intimately.
1.-THE satyr sometimes has a horned
head. Now 1t appear to me that the
pointed ears and the cast of counte-
nance in these faces indicate the satyr
DR.. Severance consulted sew
eral authorities. Finally he gave it
as his opinion that the face was that
of the Roman god, Faunus.
