.PATR|CKS DAY
Was HilariousIyOb Observed
by a Bunch of Rou-
manians.
THEN THE PATROL CAB

With three weeks thirst and the
reward of hard labor for that length
of time with which to satisfy it in their
jeans, there was probably no crowd in
the city who were better qualified to
celebrate the 18th of March in, what
an investigation of old police records
seems to show is the prescribed form,
than the Hungarians and Roumanians
in the foreign district. The day when
the noble descendants of the "auld
sod" can celebrate the memory of
their patron saint seems to have van
ished, and the saying that It's poor
Dutchman that can't be Irish for one
day in the year, seems to have taken
advantage of by all classes and
creeds, so why not the Roumanians.
At least they could see no good rea-
son, and shortly after lining up at the
ing into Canton's never falling brew
cries in a way that made the drivers
work overtime, for be it known, unlike
the rest of mankind, they unself1shly
enjoy their little feasts at home and
the whole family participates.
However, in one East Lake street
boarding house it appeared from the
condition of the celebrators that the
quartermaster had either overestimat-
ed the demand or the driver had
left double order. The noise of the
jollification was too much for some
of the peace loving neighbors, and
riot call was sent in to the police.
Patrolmen Penley and Herbst re-
sponded and rounded up the entire
crowd, seven all told, without a strug-
gle. The main difficulty was to trans
port them to headquarters in the not
too generously proportioned supply
wagon now doing duty as the police
patrol, that vehicle being in the shop
getting ready for the spring rush But
by using methods which should get

NIECE Of JOHN D,
IS. BETROTHEO

New York, March 1S.-The Ameri-
can prints the following this morning:
"A report was circulated last night,
which reached many of the friends of
the Rockefeller family, that Miss Eth
ell Rockefeller, daughter of William
Rockefeller, and a niece of John d.
Rockefeller, has been betrothed to a
son OF William e. Dodge, of this city,
At the residence of William Rookie
feller at No. $50 Fifth avenue, it was
said that Miss Ethel was in Connect
cut with her father. 1t is not clear
from the rumor just which William e.
Dodge is meant, as the father of Miss
Ethel Rockefeller's fiance. 1t in sup
posed, however, that young Mr.. Dodge
is a nephew of the Rev. D. Stuart
Dodge, of No. East Forty Ninth
street. The Rev. D. Stuart Dodge
while declining to deny or affirm the
rumor of the engagement on the
ground that anything he might say
would be premature. intimated that
the announcement of the engagement
of one of his relatives to Miss Ethel
Rockefeller might be made soon.

A GIRL NAL TREATED
BY ROBBERS
Thieves Made Big Haul
at Evansville After Fa-
tally Iniuring Her.

Evansville, Ind, March 17.-Miss
Josie Gray, cashier for the r. and G..
Furniture company, the largest estab-
lishment in this city, was found locK.
ed In the safe in the office at 1 o'clock
this morning, where she had evidently
been placed after being slugged by
robbers who robbed the safe of sew
eral thousand dollars. When the 9TH
er employees left the store last night
Miss Gray was busy with her books.
When midnight arrived and the
young lady had not reached home her
parents became worried about her
and notified the police Officers went
to the store in search of her and
found the doors open and saw evil
dence of great disorder There was a
considerable amount of small change
scattered about the office floor, but
Miss Gray was not to be found. Man
ager Gumberts was notified and went
Immediately to the store and there
found evidence of struggle. He was
greatly surprised when he opened the
safe door and found the body of the
cashier stretched at full length. She
had received number of blows uIIon
the head and face and was uycon-
scious. Miss Gray was at once re-
moved to st. Mary's hospital where
every effort was made to restore her
to consciousness, but without avail.
The physicians said that her injur-
les did not appear to be fatal and
that she was probably suffering more
from shock incident to the assault on
her than from the wounds inflicted.
Manager Gumberts said there were
several thousand dollars in bills in
the safe, but he did not know exactly
how much. Not dollar of the days
receipts remained in the store -ex-
cept the small change that was scat
tered over the floor. Thepolice worked
all day on the case, but failed to get
any clew to the robbers.

WOMAN FELL
DEAD IN PAPAL
MANSION SUNDAY

Rome, March 17.-About noon to-
day, while the Vatican's reception
rooms were crowded with persons
awaiting, the pope's passage, an elderly
Italian woman of the name of Pa
olini, who was accompanied by her
daughters, had an apoplectic stroke
and fell dead in Clementine Hall. The
pope at the time was giving audiences
in a nearby room. Several Ameri-
cans were presented by Mgr. Faerel-
ley, acting rector of the American
college. Among the number was DR..
Billings, of Chicago, who rushed to
the lady's aid. He ascertained that
death had been instantaneous. The
pope recited prayer for the dead and
then continued the audiences. The
body was hurriedly removed. The
legal formalities with the view to as
certaining the cause of death were
carried out by the Vatican investigat-
ing judge, as Italian officials are ex-
cluded from the Vatican.

IN FAVOR OF ANGoRA GOATS.
The Demand for the Skin and Wool
Repay the Breeder.

The best material is made into
plushes, serges, rugs, shawls, braids,
yarns, poplins, brilliantines and
many other fabrics. Low grade and
short fleeces are used for carriage
robes, horse blankets and the like.
The coarse growth, a foot long, of
old bucks and wethers is used for
dolls hair and for gray wigs, for
which purpose it sometimes COM
mands as much as rs cents a pound.
Other uncommon uses to which mo-
hair has been put are in the manu-
facture of imitation furs and laces
even ostrich feather. The best mohair
plushes are almost indescructible,
some being practically as good as new
after having been in constant use as
upholstery on certain railway cars in
this country for nearly quarter of a
century. Mohair mixes best with
Nsoft wool, In combination with which
1t is used to make velvets, fringes,
tassels, trimmings, Innings, cloak
ings, bindings and hosiery. 1t is also
employed to lend luster to many
other fabrics.s
There is considerable trade In
the skins of Angora goats, both
dried and dry-salted. Other goats
are valuable mainly for their skins,
from which many kinds of leather
are made, and the tanned hide of the
Angora was the original Turkish mo-
rocco OF commerce. Most Angora
goatskins come from Turkey, and
sell here at the rate of $3.50 for
those of 10 pounds weight. Cape
skins bring from 81 to $1.50 each.
and those of domestic kids and large
goats from 35 cents to So, respect
lively.
The meat of the young Angora
wether is said to be delicious. 1t has.
venison flavor, and is not strong
and oily like the flesh of most goats.
A New Mexico breeder says that he
had it on his table, off and on, the
year round, and preferred it to the
best Southdown mutton. 1t Is al<
ready coming into demand among
the epicures of the great cities. The
man from New Mexico said that al
though common goat has been called
the poor mans cow" his uncom-
mon ones were bad mixers and their
butter was Indifferent. Contrary to
his experience of the milking quail.
ties Of the Angora goat is that of the
South Carolinian who wrote: I'm @
cross i have made with pure An
CORA buck and Maltese eve / have
raised doe that will give four
quarts a day of as good milk as any
COW on my plantation. The feed of
one of my cows will keep twelve
goats"

MET At HOME
OF La TOILETTE
Political Meeting Held at
the Home of the Sen
ator Sunday.

Madison, Wis, March ia big
political conference was held at the
country home of Senator R. M. LaFol-
lette today and the only result an
nounced was made by Stephenson men,
who said that it was good to them.
Among those attending were Speaker
of the assembly Ekern, Normal School
Regent A. c. Crowhardt, Col. ]. ].
Jannon, private secretary of LaFol-
lette; A. r. Pulckner, Milwaukee; H.
P. Myrick, editor Of the Milwaukee
Free Press; and A. T. Rogers. law
partner of LaFollette. Over three
hours were spent at the meeting. At
the conclusion it was said no definite
announcement will be made for some
days.
Lenroot was represented at the con-
ference by Crowhardt and the fact
that Lenroot has left the city indicates
the result was unfavorable to him.
LaFollette said he would be in the
city until Tuesday night, when he
will leave for an extensive speaking
tour in the west, including the Paci-
fic coast. He will be gone five weeks.

BAD TANGLE
In Books of City of coIumbus-can-
ton Man a Leading Accountant.

hOii "dH q LSduIH0 HCCOunIdnE.
Columbus, o., March 17.-If the
character and number of the examin-
ers is any criterion, the examination
of the books of the city of Columbus
by the state bureau of uniform ac-
counting, will be very thorough in
deed. The force now at work will
be doubled this week.
w. q. Baker, of Fostoria, and Jacob
A. Kaufman, of Canton, accountants
of large experience and trained to the
ment for two weeks. and have just
got fairly into the work. Enough has
been found to show however, that
gross incompetence has characterized
the work of the municipal depart
ment for years, so dense that it will
require almost as much patience and
persistence to decipher the books and
accounts, as is necessary in reading
cuneform inscriptions and Egyptian
hieroglyphics.
That the two chief inspectors would
need some help, was soon made evil
dent to the bureau, and two addition
al inspectors have been called in and
will be set to work They are Charles
e. Metcalf, of Columbus, and Leslie
c. Smith, of Cleveland. Mr. Metcalf
was formerly connected with the
franklin county auditors office. Mr..
Smith was for many years chief sta
tistician in the Office of the secretary
of state.
These two men were added to the
state bureau of accounting some time
ago by the state auditor, to give their
exclusive services in municipal exam
ination to the operation of municipal
utilities. They are In fact experts
in that line and will be able if any
one is, to bring order out of the cha
that prevails in the public utilities
accounts of Columbus They will be-
gin their work in earnest Monday
morning.

CINCINNATI TO
HAVE CREST OIL
FLOOD TO-DAY

Cincinnati, o., March 1.-THE ONO
river at this point reached 61 feet and
one inch at 8 o'clock tonight, being
almost stationary since p. M. The
crest of the flood will reach Cincinnati
on Monday. The indications are that
63 feet will hardly be reached. Ports.
mouth and Maysville report on $40
feet rise in IL hours. This puts the
present food within four feet of the
January floor this year. The latest,
and perhaps the greatest damage o.
an unusual nature to result from the
flood was the collapse at 1880 O'clock
this morning, of FIVE spans of the
Eighth street viaduct Fortunately no
cars or other vehicles or pedestrians
were in the viaduct at the time OF the
break.
