LUNATIC ATTEMPTS TO

SAVED BY HEAVY CLOTHES
Crank Ordered to Prepare Himself to
"Get Disentangied from Life"
Says He Wanted to Take
Officer with Him.

New York="Big Al'' Selick, a po-
liceman with record for bravery and
without a single mark against him in
his ten years on the force, had mar
row escape from being shot to death
in Thirteenth street the other morn
ing, when a man apparently insane,
who had been talking with the
spirit, determined to take the police
man with him as he "disentangled"
himself from this mortal coil, he said.
The frenzied stranger fired four
shots at the bluecoat, one of which
went wild. Two of the others were
stopped by his heavy coat, while one
ploughed along his shoulder, inf1icting
severe flesh wound. The policeman
felled the man with his club and sent
him to a hospital. Sellick himself was
cared for at New York hospital
1t was shortly after two o'clock
when Sellick noticed an understood
man lodging in and out of the door
ways along Thirteenth street. Finally
the little man went up to Sellick and
asked:
Is this Thirteenth street?"
Yes, this is Thirteenth street" the
policeman replied, and continued on
MS beat. He had gone about 25 feet
IN advance when a bullet whizzed by
MS head, and as he turned the man
behind him fired another shot point

ran toward his man, but was met by
another shot, which struck him over
the left kidney but was DETECTED By

KISSING DAYS.
Observance of an Ancient Custom by
 an English Fishing Town.

From the London Evening Standard. Yesterday was Kissing day" at Hun gerford, quiet community on the west ern borders of Berkshire, renowned for it's trout fishery and It's faithful adherence to the ancient customs of Hocktide which have been observed since the days of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, who granted the rights and privileges to the commoners.
 At daybreak the town crier, arrayed in new livery, took his stand on the town hall balcony and blew his lusty blasts on the historic horn, which Is the symbol of Hungerfordian liberty. Then the tut time" went forth bearing slaves gar landed with flowers and made perambu- lation of the town, kissing every lady whom they met and demanding a penny from every male householder.
 The sum thus obtained served to pur- chase oranges for scrambling among the crowd of children who followed in their footsteps. The ladies took the kissing in good part and the males paid up smil ingly.
 Meanwhile the Hocktide jury was trans acting more serious business in the town hall, electing a constable. who is both a coroner and a mayor also appointing keepers of the keys of the common coffer, bailiff, portreeve and other ancient of- fcers whose duties are rather obscure.

versed or on the staircases. They are in attendance at all state and public ceremonies, and when driving, as to the opening of a charity bazar, to the rail- way station and other places, one Of the girls has seat in a carriage mNediately preceding that of the queen.
 The duties of these four young ladies in waiting begin immediately after her majestys breakfast One or more of them assist Miss Knollys in answering the mass of correspondence, which re- quires the ability of a linquist. Then they must be in readiness to sing or play if required, or to take expeditions on horseback, an exercise of which her maj esty is fond and they must necessarily have a good seat and be adept whips.
 They must be skilled in some of her majesty's special fads, such as wood carving, fine art needlework, spinning and poker work. They must be tactful at all times, amiabe and in fact almost absolute paragons
 Their meals are taken with the lords and ladies of the household. unless they are requested to join the royal family at luncheon or dinner Nine o'clock Is the hour for dinner, and one of the maids Of honor, just before it, must place on the table at the right hand of the queen q huge bouquet. After dinner the maids join the royal circle. They enter into the amusements and may be asked to show their accomplishments.
 At other courts, it is said. the regime is still the reverse of pleasant. In Aus tra an imperial or royal visit to the opera. theatre or some such function. is regarded as particular penance and a, severe trial of the patience and endur- ance of the ladies in waiting. They are compelled to stand through the long per formance and to bear all the discomfort with smiling countenance. as do the aorobats and dancers who appear on the stage.
 The late Empress of Austria had a de- eided fondness for Wagner and it can be well imagined what was in store when either "Siegfried" or Tristan" was sung. In Spain, too, the tetlquette of the court is very severe.

Mary Mannering who in home life is Mrs. James K. Hackett cancelled her en- gagements in the south and has gone to New York to be at the bedside of her lit- tie daughter, who is seriously i'll, says the New Orleans Item of Monday. MT. Hack ett cancelled his engagements last week and wired Miss Mannering here to holu herself in readiness to come at mo- ments s notice Later he telegraphed her that the child was better and the at tending physician believed the dangerous period had passed.
 Saturday night. just before the last act of "Glorious Betsy" Miss Mannering re- eeiyed another telegram that change for the worse set in and Tor her to come home on the next train.
 Passenger officials of the Louisville ana Nashville were called to the theatre ana consulted about special train to leave New orleans after midnight Saturday night. but it was stated that 1t would not permit any connections at Montgoh'- cry, so Miss Mannering coneludeo nut to leave until in the morning.
 The company left this morning for Gull mort. but Miss Mannering will not be with them probably for several weeks. In fact, she may not be seen on the staee again this season.

 Those who witnessed the play Saturday night commented upon Miss Mannerins' $ acting in the last scene where Betsy Patterson, with sad heart and tear stained face, returns from the sorrow full trip to France.
 .t will be recalled that during the love song, Maid of Athens" Betsy Patterson repeats the lines, Give, o give me back i my heart" There was 8 long silence at ! this particular moment. Miss Mannering was seen to hold her handkerchief to her l eyes longer than usual and for short time it was believed she had forgotten her lines. Her heart was not in the play Shj was thinking of her sick child in New York, where her husband was wait Ing for her to share his grief.
 Those working behind the scenes thought she would be unable to overcome her grief and the stage manager was just in the act of ringing down the cur tain when Miss Mannering mastered her feelings and the performance went on.
 Immediately after the last act Miss MGnnering was taken to her apartments in the New Denechaud hotel, where the rec. 1f the company spent the night of- fering their coincidence and doing all they could for her comfort

From Town and Country
 The position of maid of honor to the Queen of England Is one of the most coveted distinctions at the Court of King Edward. Although far from being a sine cure the position has been made so much easier by the kindness and tact of Queen Alexandra, and the advantages of being in the court circle are so many that an appointment of this kind is looked upon as a bit of rare good fortune.
 Queen Alexandra's household consists of only fifteen ladies and six men-in striking contrast with that of the king which includes more than a hundred in- divduals.
 Queen Victoria had eight maids of honor, of whom two were always in wait ing; but Queen Alexandras known de- sire for less stately life has prompted her to reduce the number to four.
 Queen Alexandra delights to surround herself with quite young. bright and clever people, and all four maids are still in their early youth.
 The tradition is that these young wom- en invariably marry well.
 Their position at court brings them in- to contact with highly eligible partners; and an old custom dating back for cen turies prompts their royal mistress to pro- vide a dowrY of 5000 on their wedding day. The marriage of one of the maids

 When the Qneen holds Q drawing room for the presentation of debutantes and those who have entree at court, her maids walk in the royal procession to the throne room, and stand immediately around her majesty during the whole ceremony. This applies also to the state concerts. which are most formal and elaborate functions beginning at 10 clock at night and lasting two hours. They must also be in readiness at any time to play duets with the Queen. a dreadful ordeal to even great artists, as she is a brilliant player. Then there are charity visits, schools to be inspected and a multitude of royal duties, in all of which the Queen is ac- eompanied by her ladies. At all these functions the Queens maids are almost painfully alert to anticipate the slightest wish of their mistress. At the concerts they do not stand, but sit immediately behind the Queen and royal prinoesses, At state balls they occupy the same position. They relieve her majesty of her bouquet or her fan if necessary, and ad- just her great ermine cloak or sable wraps when draughty corridors are tra-
