As the result Of a canvass conducted by
Capt Boardman, Mrs. Cora l. Arnold, of
1910 Thirteenth street northwest, yester-
day positively identified the picture Of
Frederick Seller. who is at present under
arrest at Newark. \. J.. as being the pho
tograph OF the man who. she claims,
swlndled her out Of $500 in December, 1895.
This canvass was made at the request
OF John II. Adams, chief of police of
Newark, who recently arrested Seier on "a
charge Of grand larceny. When searched,
the man had IN his possession several
papers which led the authorities there TO
believe he had been working a scheme
by which he obtained money from women
under the pretext that he contemplated
matrlmoay. He also had bank books for
banks in Grand Rapids. Pueblo, New Or
leans, and Los Angeles. which he had ap-
parently used in leading his alleged VIC
TINS TO believe that he was wealthy.
Yesterday Detective Warren. Of the cen
trial bureau, who was assigned to the case
At tho time ii was first reported. showed
the picture Of the prisoner 10 Mrs. Arnold.
She Immediately recognized the man. 1t
seems that Mrs. Arnold became &C
quainted with Seller through an advertise
nent which he had inserted in one of the
local papers for a housekeeper. Seller. or
Adolph II. kreger, as he then called him
SELF. pretended TO be quite well-to-do. and
stated that he had Just come to this city
from the West in order to locate "A home
here. He wanted to employ Mrs Arnold
10 act as housekeeper for himself and his
daughter.
The two became very well acquainted
with each other. and in d short time
Kreger proposed marriage. Mrs. Arnold
accepted his proposal and arrangements
were made for the wedding. AT the last
moment on the night before the event was
10 take place. Mrs Arnold says Kreger
announced that he was somewhat short
OF funds. having been unable TO cash a
check he had for 5000 because the banks
had closed earlier than usual on that
afternoon.
IN order that no such difficulty should
mar the pleasure of the event. Mrs
Arnold claims she advanced him 800 OF
ner own money She says Ereger then
left the house and was never seen again
IN this city. Last night Capt. Boardman
notified the Newark authorities of the

as TO why the people Of this city should
eat more pie and pastry than the citizens
OF any other town. village hamlet. or
municipality one of the explanations IS
that the climate creates an appetite for

People have been known 10 come To

arrived here. Within a few weeks after
they got here they were seized by an
uncomfortable desire to eat pie and in go

OCEAN WAVES.

The Height and the Length of the
Deep Water Mountains.
How long and how high are the
great waves of the ocean? The long
est wave in the records of M. Berth,
we'll known naval architect who has
been making careful investigation
of the matter, measured $500 feet
from crest to crest, and it's period
was twenty-three seconds. The long
waves, however, are not unusually
high, and in deep water the height
of wave of $500 feet in length would
be not more than one-fiftieth of it's
length, or about fifty feet. Observers,
particularly those who were situated
on small vessels, claim to have seen
waves much higher than this, but
their observations are not of much
value for the reason that the deck
of such vessel floats parallel to the
surface of the waves instead of para
llel to the plane of the horizon, and
the inclination of the deck will thus
give the observers an exaggerated i'm
preston of the height of an oncoming
wave. Records taken where this
source of error was carefully elimi-
mated show the highest waves in open
water to have measured fifty feet from
trough to crest, although M. Berth il
of the opinion that in the southern
seas waves of even greater height
than this may occasionally be met.
AS the waves enter shoal water
their period" decreases and they be-
come higher, SO that on striking a
shoal forty foot wave will climb to
height of fifty foot or more. Should
it meet an obstacle that approaches
the vertical it may be easily thrown
up to a height of 100 feet or more,
as at the celebrated Eddystone light
off Plymouth, England, where solid
green water has at time been known
to reach a height of 100 feet.
Although the period of the longest
wave may occasionally reach twenty
three seconds and its length $500
feet, such waves are exceedingly rare.
the common length OF long wave
being something over 500 feet and the
period ten seconds. The average per-
Tod is from six to eight seconds and
the length from 100 to 800 feet. 1t
is rarely that the height exceeds
thirty-three feet-Chicago News.

was $562.471.
OF the S.926 plants in the United
States, $500 are in the six states of
New York. Wisconsin, Iowa. Illinois,
Minnesota and Pennsylvania. Other
states making a good showing are Col

ton. Oregon. Missouri and North Da-
kota.
The total of s.s26 plants are divided
as follows: Butter. 5.235: cheese,

Chicago, ILL.,, Mar. 4.-From the var
icus hooks and corners of the country
where they have been alternating dur
ing the winter months, several score
of big league ball players, all with
faces as full of innocent gladness as
that of the good little boy on the
opening day of school, thronged the
corridors OF the Grand Pacific hotel
today, exchanging stories of their win
ter experiences and congratulating one
another that the season of discon-
tent" was over. Among the players
were majority of those who will
conduct the pennant fights of two
champion clubs--the Chicago Nationals
and Chicago Americans-ando of third
club which has ]hopes-the Washing
ton team of the American league. All
had gathered in Chicago in response
to the call to start for the Spring
training quarters. Each of the clubs
will get away some time today or early
tomorrow morning.
OF the several clubs the worlds
champion White Sox has the most at
tractive trip ahead of them. Their
training trip with the City of Mexico
as the objective point, is the most
elaborate junket ever arranged to put
a Chicago team in condition for the
baseball championship season. Two
special Pullman cars have been en-
aged by President Comiskey for the
accommodation of his players, and the
party will number at least 40 people.
The champions will be rushed through
to Mexico with all possible speed, for
they are scheduled to play game in
the Mexican capital next Saturday.
The long trip will be made by way
of New Orleans. San Antonio and Eagle
Pass.
The first stop of the Chicago Nation
ais will be at West Baden. Ind, where
several days will be put in by the
Cubs before leaving for the south.
Thence they will proceed direct to
New Orleans for stay of nearly two
weeks On the return home exhibit
ton games will be played at Memphis,
Nashville, Louisville, Columbus, Ind
annapolis, Springfield, Dayton and To-
ledo.
An interesting itinerary also is that
arranged by Manager Cantillon for the
Washington club. The players will
proceed from Chicago direct to Gal
weston. Exhibition games with vari-
GUS league clubs will be played In
Galveston, Dallas, Forth Worth, Hous-
ton. and other Texas cities until near
the end of the month. The return trip
will be made by q roundabout course

While Drener and Helm are entered
in the tourney it is quite likely that
they will not be able to compete be-
cause of business engagements. OF
the remaining six the most interest
centers in young Calvin Demarest who,
though only nineteen years old, has
made an enviable record. Rolls, the
Philadelphia man, is a newcomer in
the national championship competitions
Conklin of Chicago is one Of the fore

Tillman Identified,

Senator Tillman tells story on
himself as to how he was identified by
post office clerk when he first ar
rived at the capital city.
After being in the city few days he
dropped in at the post Office to cash a
money order.
DO you know any one here who
could identify you?" asked the clerk.
well, no." the senator answered.
"Is that necessary? l am Ben Tillman
of South Carolina"
The clerk smiled, then asked the
senator IL he didn't have some letters
or papers that would make him known
to the post Office authorities.
The senator had put on a new suit
that morning, and had neglected to
transfer his letters, but he had his
pocketbook with him. Digging down
in his trousers pocket he drew forth
his wallet and proceeded to search for
an article of Identification, but could
find nothing but small photograph Of
himself.
This will do, 1 suppose" he said,
handing it to the money order clerk.
"Why, sure. That's you all right"
remarked the man behind the counter,
handing over the cash.
