SANG HER VERY BEST.
Frederick the Great Was Posted and
Marie Frausch Was Wise.

There is a good story told of prima
donna named Marie Frausch, who lived
in the time of Frederick the Great.
Whenever anything or anybody dis
pleased the naughty Frausch she, after
the manner Of prima donnas in gener-
al. would suddenly become too hOarse
to sing One evening there was to be
sung an opera in her repertory and it
was expected that the king would at
tend.
At the appointed hour the mana ger
came forward and announced that,
owing TO sore throat. Frauleln
Frausch was unable to appear.
The people were preparing to leave
the house. but his majesty rose and
commanded them to keep their seats
4 few moments afterward an officer
and four dragons entered the capri
cious singers room.
"Fraulein.' said the officer, the king
inquiries after your health"
The king is very good said
Frausch, with pout. but l have a
sore throat"
His majesty is aware OF the fact
and has charged me to take you to the
military hospital to be cured"
Fraulein, turning very pale, suggest
ed that they were testing. but was told
that Prussian officers never INDUCED
in persifage. Soon she found herself
in a coach with four men.
Il am little better now" Frausch
faltered. and l will try TO sing"
Back to the theater." said the officer
to the Coachman.
The fraulein began TO think she had
yielded too easily. Il shall not be able
to sing my best she interposed.
Pardon. fraulein," responded the of.
flcer, bur l think you will
And why"
Because two dragons in attend
ance behind the scenes have orders to
carry you off TO the military hospital
at the least cough"

than she did that night.-Chicago Rec

TIE TALL SOLDIER.
kdvorture of an English Military Off
Ger IL Warsaw.

kdvortere of an English Military Off
Ger II Warsaw.
In "Iales of My Father" Mr. Falls
tells Of 3n adventure experienced by
him white visiting d friend in Warsaw.
He had been walking with the prince
and had stepped into small cafe.
At The next table sat a tall Russian
soldier with one or two companions.
The soldier took out a box of dOminos
and challenged one OF his friends to
a game.
The prince said to my father:
go ask him to play with you. 7
know him, and he is an interesting man
to talk to-"
My father crossed over to the table
with the prince. who said something
in Polish. The soldier Immediately in
vited my father to sit down and play.
At the end of a game the soldier re-
marked
My regiment is CHARTERED at St Pc
tersburg. If you ever go there call at
the barracks and ask for Sergeant r."
"If you ever go to London call at the
life guards barracks and ask for Cap
tain H." returned my father.
The Russian rose, saying it was not
for him to sit in the presence Of his
superior officer saluted and left the
cafe.
"Whoever your friend is, he is a tall
man" remarked my father.
MY friend with whom you have
been talking and playing dominos is
the great czar-the Emperor Nicholas.
He has been here for a week. 1t Is
his habit to go about disguised and TO
mix among the people. Those who
know him would not lift a finger to
harm him. He trusts himself to us
and carries his life in his hand. He
is safer in these cafes than in the
gilded halls of the White palace at st.
Petersburg"
The next day my father saw the en-
perOr leave Warsaw. followed by the
muttered curses of the people. With a
wonderful remembrance of faces, he
recognized my father in the crowd and
bowed to him COurteously!

Clayton Eye Is Thought to Be
Man Who Assaulted
Young Woman.
HE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED.
BOTH MISS MckONE AND A MAN
WHO SAW FIVE FOLLOWING HER
SAY POLICE HAVE MADE NO
MISTAKE IN ARREST.

Clayton Eye, who has been identifi-
ed by Miss Katherine Mckone as the
man who assaulted her last Monday
night, is under arrest on charge OF
assault and battery with intent to
commit d felony. Eye was arrested
last evening by Roundsman V0gel-
song After questioning the man,
Chief Bailey allowed him to go on a
promise to return to police headquar-
ters today Since last evening the
police secured additional evidence
which pointed to Eye as the assailant
Of Miss MckOne and when he report
ed at headquarters today he was plaC-
ed under arrest. Eye StOutly asserts
his innocence, but Chief Bailey states
that he is positive the guilty man is
now under arrest.
For some time We have received
reports that Eye has been standing
around street corners Of nights. watch
ing women and that he had been pc ep-
ing into windows. Today after he had
been taken into custody Sergeant Nc
ManuS took him to see Miss McKone
and a man who saw the young wO-
mans assailant when he was follow
ing her Monday night. Both of them
identified him as the guilty party"
stated Chief Bailey.
He also stated that he believed Eye
was half witted and that women in
fatuated him. The police also have
evidence to the effect that the man
who followed Miss Mckone mistoo1
her for another woman and that labor
ing under this false impression, the
man assaulted her for revenge. Eye
is a stone mason. slightly built. Of
medium stature and dark complexion
ed. For the past fifteen years he has
been in the employ of John Long, a
contractor. Mr.. Long is Indignant ov-
er Eyes arrest. He states that he is
positive Eye is not Miss Mckone's as
saiIant.
At the boarding house where Eye
has resided for some time past the
police were informed that Monday
night Eye did not return to the house
until after nine o'clock. The assault
was committed about eight o'clock
Eye states that he spent the evening
at a saloon and that he was never on
South Fourteenth street in his life.
Chief Bailey says that judging from
some remarks made by Eye he is con
tdent that the man will in a .:hort
time confess that he is guilty Of the
charge On which he is being held.
