undertook to practice that profession
at Weston. In some manner he be-
came involved in difficulty over bo-
gus checks and he was sent to serve
a term in the penltentiary. Mean
while he was disbarred from the legal
profession.
When the Echo blind pig was raid
ed a few weeks ago Stone was one OF
those caught in the net and like the
others he was required to give $500
bail in order to secure his liberty.
This he did. one of his bondsmen be-
ing NJ. H. Gillette.
This morning Stone refused to re-
turn without requisition papers be-
ing first secured and District Attor-
ney Phelps is now engaged in secur-
ing them from the governor.

Rome Sept. S.-The Milan Unione,

which has been reprinted by the
whole Italian press, to the effect that
the Duke of Abruzzi will probably

definite arrangements for his mar
rage with Miss Katherine Elkins,
daughter of United States Senator
Stephen B. Elkins of West Virginia.
and the ceremony will take place in

According to the Unione, the count
OF Turin, few days ago, visited
Dowager Queen Margherita at Gross
ney, where she is spending the sum-
mer and attempted to overcome her
opposition to the marriage of his
brother, the duke of Abruzzi, to Miss
Elkns. II had been the intention of
the duke to have the marriage cere-
mony take place in December if the
opposition of the royal family could
be removed. but during the recent
celebration of the silver wedding of
the duke and duchess of Genoa at
which all the Savoy princes were
present, opposition on the part of the
queen appeared stronger than ever
She said that her views on the sub
ject had not changed and she refused
to give her consent to the marriage,
She objected to such an alliance also
because she believed many American
thought that the duke of the Abruzzi
had sought marriage with Miss Ell
kns when he found the American
glrl would come into a large estate.
The count declared that the duke
was ready to marry Miss Elkins even
without the queens consent and left
for Spezia to inform his brother of the
failure of his mission.

News Has Just Leaked Out in
Connection With Appear
anCe of Armed Crank.
BULLET WHIZZED OVER
THE PRESIDENTS HEAD
Hurried Trip of Chief WillIle and
Force of Secret Service Men TO
SagamOIe Explained - Roosevelt
Wanted TO Search Bushes Himself
Was Dissuaded by F'riends-Might
Have Been Fired by Careless
Hunter.

Oyster Bay, Sept. SIT was learn
ed today that an attempt was made
to assassinate President Roosevelt on
last Saturday while he was out rid
ing on the Cove road near Sycamore.
The assassin fired from the bushes
along the roadside, the bullet whiz-
zing over the president. who pulled
his horse up and wanted TO search
the bushes but a friend dissuaded
him.
This explains the hurried trip of
Chief Wilkie and a corps of secret
service men TO Sycamore,
Major wadsworth, who was riding
with President Roosevelt at the time
declared today that he thought the
bullet was fired by hunters engaged
in target practice and not at the
president.
,gThe, attempt to assassinate the
president was made known when a
crank armed with an antiquated bull
dog revolver was caught near the
presidents house yesterday by the
secret service guards. The man de-
scribed himself as John Coughlin, a
detective and when stopped by the
secret service men. presented a card
upon which was inscribed his name
and the word "officer." He said
that he had come to ask the presi-
dent to order out 10000 troops to
catch yeggmen who had been terror
izing Boston. Coughlin is supposed
to have reached oyster Bay on the
1919 train. He walked three miles
to Sycamore Hill. The road leading
to the presidents house forks at the
tennis court, 200 yards from the
house and forms a loop about the

tend at either end of the house and

of the rules for visitors at Sycamore
Hill is that no one shall come on foot;
so when Secret Service Agent Adams
caught sight of Adams toiling up the
hill road, he guessed that something
was wrong, and motioned for the man
to so back. Coughin kept right on.
Adams ran down the road to meet
him. Coughlin produced his card
and explained in the most casual way
that he had come to confer with the
president concerning the recent out
RACES by yeggmen in Boston and to
lead back such troops as the presi-
dent saw fit to order out.
Attempts 10 Draw Gun.
The secret service men tried to ex-
plain that the president was not see

to get him quietly out of the
grounds. Coughlin hesitated a mo-

Coughlin told them that he had been
confined for three years in an asy-

did not witness the arrest of the
crank and had not been informed of

ans grappled with him without fur
ther parley Coughlln struggled for
moment but he is a slight built
man and Adams had no difficulty
i'm holding him until Agent Sloan
came to his assistance. Sloan search
ed the man and found in his hip
pocket a 80 calibre revolver of the
bulldog" type. The weapon was
wrapped in a wooden bag and accord
ing to the secret service men, was
not loaded. The slight struggle near
the tennis court had not been OBJ
served at the house and the secret
Frvice men without alarming the
presidents family, got automobiles
and carried Coughlin to the Oyster
Bay town hall where he was arraign-
ed before Justice Of the Peace Frank
lin committed Coughlin to the county
Jail at Mineola. Coughlin will be
examined as to his sanity.

Papke's From First.

The fight was practically over one
minute and twenty seconds after the
gong sounded. From that time on II
was merely a question as to how long
Ketchel would last. Papke tore into
Ketchel with such fury that the un-
defeated ring champion was simply
lifted off his feet four times within
the next minute. Papke knocked
Ketchel to the mat for the count and
from the first knock down Ketchel
never really recovered his form. He
was a defeated man, dazed, bleeding,
struggling from 20 blows in the face
and yet he came back and stayed
with a terrible determination. And
for at least three rounds he held his
own with the victorious challenger.
When Ketchel stepped to the CEN
ter for the second round it was seen
that his right eye was closed. At the
next intermission his seconds lanced
the eye socket and sucked the blood
but Ketchel never regained the sight
of his right eye. Before the finish
the other eye was all but closed, and
for the last three rounds he stagger-
ed about the ring dizzy like a drunk
en- man practically blind.
In the third Ketchel showed his
best form when he forced Papke
through the ropes, but when the bell
sounded he stepped with his long fe-
line stride eagerly for his corner.

NEW YEARS A DAY OF MANY DATES.

January 1 as the beginning of the
new year is purely arbitrary date,
and was fixed in 1898 by Charles TX,
who adopted the Julian calendar. In
those times and long after many peo-
pie followed the OLD Roman custom
of beginning the year on March l.
For long period of time the begin
ming of the year was fixed at the An
nunciation, March 25. The people of
Pisa followed this practice as late as
1745.
In still another period Christmas
was New Years Day and in another
Easter was so regarded.
The most scientific date for the
beginning of the new year would be
one of the equinoXes or one Of the
solstices.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1908-12-31

The Roman New Year, falling on
March |, explains the names of the
months, September, October, Novem-
Der and December, meaning seventh,
eighth, ninth and ten months. July
was named in honor of Julius Caesar.
August was named after the Emper-
or Augustus.
The year 1909, according to our
calendar, will bear the dates 5000
and 5670 Of the Jewish era. The lat
ter year commences at sunset on

begin in February, and as the Chin
ese time their eras by the reigns
of their Emperors their next year
Will be called the twenty-fifth of
the reign of Kuang Hsu.

GOOD RESOLUTIDk,.

One of the best of good resolutions
Is not to make too many of them. 1t
is common experience to find the
breaking of one resolve-perhaps the
hardest of all to keep-followed by
snappings here and there until the
chain, weakened time and again by
the loss of poor link, becomes a
disjointed, worthless thing. Even a
single strong link between ones in
tentions and performances is a bet
ter and safer reliance.
What shall this one link be? Sure
ly a different thing according to diff
fering personal needs. There is n
parable, however, in one of Emer-
sons shortest and most memorable
poems, Days" to which at the sea-
son of good resolutions every one
may well give heed. The poem tells
of man in his garden. to whom the
days come one by one, offering gifts
of varying value-tarnsient and per-
manent. The man-as most men
will-chooses the transient. And
then as the day departs, under her
