NOT WITHIN GUNSHOT.

The late Sheriff Dunn, Of Tammany.
was "A Wit. but many of his savings did
not get into print. Several years ago
Lord ClOmel brought 10 the United
States a string Of racers. and al the
close OF the season Phil DWyer gave him
dinner at DelmoniCOs. Dunn was
one of the guests. and near the Windup
was called upon 10 speaI-- Lord,
Lord" Dunn piOusiy calculated as he
got on his feet. but this is q great
country. I was a poor Irish lad and nay

ZANClGS LONDON CRAZE;
KING B00MS MYSTIC SHOW

LONDON. Jan. l9.-The latest craze
in London is 10 make up parties for the
Alhambra Music Han. which is enjoying
huge boom by the free advertisement
given 10 Mr.. and Mrs. Zancig, whose
wonderful thought-reading performance
was given recently before the King and
Queen al Sandringham.
The boxes at the Alhambra full OF
well-known people are almost as attrac-
tive as those al Covent Garden Opera
House. Every one who goes has a new
theory Of his or her own as to how the
'telepathic' messages between Zancig
and his wife are conveyed. Among the
Americans who have been time and time
again TO test the Zancigs are la ty
Bache Cunard Princess HaJzfeldt, and
Mr.. Hamilton and Mrs. Mccormick.
Such craze has not been known in
London since the famous Georgia
Magnet" Mrs. Abbott mysJified q music

suit was that poor cows went - the

COBWEBS DRAPE RESIDENCE
OF THE MISSING RECLUSE
Police Are Unable to
Find Trace of Isaac
Jones.

Deserted and filled with cObWebs and
dust that have accumulated during the
last three months, the home OF Isaac
S. Jones, the aged recluse, who has
been missing since October u, presents
a gloomy appearance The shutters on
the first floor are drawn and tightly
fastened. and everything about the place
would lead one 10 believe that inside
preparations were being made for the
funeral OF a relative, or that q member
OF the family lay in the last stages of
fatal illness.
II was understood that Mr.. Jones had
friends living in Newark, n. j.. and
Parsons, Kan. Both cities were COM
municated with, and Major Sylvester
received replies stating that nothing
was known Of him in either place. In
quiries were made by the police Of both
places. and it was learned that he had
not been in Parsons or Newark for
many months-some time before he dis
appeared from Washington.

Last November an aged man was
killed by the railroad in South Wash

last evening and examined samples OF
the clothing and ran down other clues,
believing that there was a possibility
that the dead man might be Mr., Jones.
Inspector B0ardman stated yesterday,
however, that he was satisfied that the
man was not Mr.. Jones. and the police
are now working on other clues.

a new expression that will enrich the

will. Let me repeat again the ''un-

bank-A Visit to Miss
ROdgers' studio

Miss Laura Rodgers returned
from the cities last week where
she had been for the past month
purchasing art supplies and
visiting the leading artists. A
visit to Miss Rodgers studio
and an inspection of the many
works of art will soon con vince
one that Miss Rodgers is a
thorough artist. The people of
Milbank have a right to feel
proud of the work they purchase
of her. 1t has that rich appear
ance and delicate finish that is
found only in works of art turn
ed out by the master hand. The
reporter was shown oil, pastel,
water color and beautiful china
works, too numerous to mention,
but all of the highest grade. and
all compared very favorably with
the best. Her work is to be
found in nearly every home in
this vicinity, and her annual holi-
day sales are talked of by every
lover of art. Miss Rodgers
keeps in close touch with the
work executed by eastern artists.
She goes to the cities frequently
and spends her time in the best
studios, getting all that's new in
her work While on her recent
trip she purchased her years
supplies of material and will be
better enabled than ever to teach
the different branches. You
will be welcomed at her studio,
and an inspection of her work
will awaken the love of art if you
are possessed of it. The studio
is located in the telephone block.
