REVENGEFUL BURGLAR.
Returns After Twelve Years to Rob a
 House.

Chicago, Nov. 2s.-John V. Clarke, President of the Hibernian Banking Association, has. started the police on a still hunt for burBlar-Nemesis who, he believes robbed his residence We'd nesday in execution of a vow made twelve years ago.
 At that time Mir. Clarke surprised a burglar in his house. The robber was sentenced by Judge Windes to twelve years in the penitentiary. As he was leaving the court room he glared at Mir. Clarke and hissed: 'Tll see you again as soon as I am free"
 He was liberated a few weeks ago. This fact. coupled with the discrimi- nation shown in choosing only easily pawned loot" convinced Mir. Clarke that the man who robbed his house this week is an old timer and probably Is the same one that robbed him be- fore.

 Waeltz was a we'll to do farmer and when last seen by his friends had S75 with him.
 According to the story of Miss Mor- ton, the chloroform incident occurred about o'clock Saturday night.

WILD BILL KICK0k
AND HIS PISTOL
Old FrontierSman a Dead Shot With All
Firearms.

Wild Bill Hickok was the first from
tiorsnlan who recognized the Importance
Of proficiency in the use OF the six
shooter. This was the real secret Of
his supremacy. He was an unerrlng
marksnan and shot as accurately under
fire as when firing at a mark, ap-
parently taking no aim.
Probably no man has ever equaled
him in the lighningIke rapidly with
which he could draw a weapon in time
OF emergency and in the thorough self
possession that made IL possible for him
TO take advantage OF every opportunity
in savage conflict He had a standing
order 10 his deputies that they should
not rush in on him in any Of his af-
trays. and especially should not come
quickly up in his rear.
BY forgetting this a man named VII

rapidly that IL left no opportunity for
recognition. He readily killed a wild
goose across the Smoky Hill with his
revolver. Riding at his horses highest
tin can or a post a few rods distant.
Standing at one telegraph pole he
would swing rapidly on his heel and IRE
a pistol ball into the next telegraph
pole. These were some OF the simpler
feats he performed day after day on the
street 10 settle little wagers. He could
shoot a hole through a silver dime at
fifty PAGES. and could drive the cork
through the neck Of a bottle at thirty
PAGES and knock out the bottom with
out breaking the neck. He could do
what the fancy shots Of the present day
do. and possibly some OF them equal
him as ,narksmen with a revolver, but
it must be remembered that he was the
first IN acquire this skill, and the So
called crack shots Of his day were poor
imitators at best, although most OF them
boosted Of their fame.
lie shot just as well with others

certain traits OF his character, how

LOCAL MARKET
DULL FOR WEEK
Bids Were Numerous, But

Withheld.
Bond Market Active, With
Railway and Electric
Leading.

There has been comparatively little
business done on the local Stock Ex-
change during the past week, and vet
II has not been because OF any indIf-
ference OF the investing public toward
local utilities. Every day bids have been
made for stock. bids higher than the
official quotations. and yet very little
stock has been sold on the market.
For some reason. the offerings OF the
Washington Railway and Electric
shares have been withdrawn, and any,
one wanting to buy must advance fig
ures before inducing any stock TO come
out. The nominal bid prices are pegged
al 24h and 70 for the common and the
preferred stock. There are rumors OF
short interest in the market. rumors
that may or may not have any founda-
ton. In aay event. the offerings Of

NEW YORK MONEY

NEW YORK. March 2S.-Money on
call today was nominally 2 per cent.
On Monday the call rate touched 2H
per cent, but thereafter during the
week per cent was the highest quota
ton recorded, ia being low level In
creased speculation in the stock mark ct
gave the market a broader inquiry for
money which. however, was in plenti-
full supply.
Time money during the week was OBJ
tainable IN amounts quite sufficient TO
meet current requirements, which were
moderate. The shorter dates were quite
freely offered, but the easy call rates
naturally detracted some from the de-
mand for fxed accommodation. Rates
3d3A per cent for sixty days. SHG3A for
ninety days; 32tl4 for four months, ~
for FIVE and six months, for year.
Mercantile paper during the week was
rather quiet. demand being far from
active. paper was not pressed upon the
market. but the assortment was Of fair
size and comprised some attractive
names. Rates 51k to 6 per cent for sixty
and ninety days. Endorsed bills recelv-
able; 81 TO for choice four 70 six
months; single names 61z per cent for
others.
Sterling was firm. with rates = went

AN UNLUCKY ROYAL NAME.

1t is interesting and somewhat curious
to note the persistence with which mis-
fortune has logged the name Of John"
when borne by royal persons, although
no i'll omen seems to attach to II in the
case of ordinary citizens
For instance. King John Of England
has always been regarded, whether alto
gether justly or not as most Infamous
prince. John Of France was taken cap
tive by the Black Prince, and John
BalIiol Of Scotland was most thorough
" despised by his countrymen on ac-
count Of his fawning attitude toward
the English. Robert II Of Scotland
changed his name from John. but this
did not save him from his destiny. He
himself was a cripple, and died OF a
broken heart. the most tragic fates hav-
ing overtaken all most dear to him.
John 1 of Bohemia was blind. The
Pope John I was imprisoned by the
King of the Goths. and Pope John X
was driven from Rome by the Duke Of
Tuscany Pope John XXI was impris-
oned by his brother. and IS supposed to
have been poisoned, a fate similar 70
that of Pope John XIV. Pope John XIV
of fever in Tuscany John XVI. dubbed
the "Anti-Pope" after troubled ca
reer, was bTutally tortured and con-
signed to a dungeon for the brief re-
mainder OF his life.
John I of Constantinople was pois-
oned; John II was killed while hunting
wild boar, and John III was dethroned,
his eyes put out, and left to die in
prison John of CASTLE was killed by
a fall from his horse
This Is not by any means a complete
list OF the unlucky Johns; but 1t serves
70 show the fatality which seems to
cling about the name In so far as row
atty is concerned.-Exchange.

DOWNING STREET
A FAMOUS PLACE

Downing street, which IL is proposed
to take legislative steps to stop up and
discontinue as a thoroUghfare," had a
fairly long and interesting history be-
fore its official record commences SAYS
the Westminster Gazette.
It owes its name and origin TO Sir
George Downing. a political vicar OF
Bray, who was one Of CrOmweils favor
lite chaplains. and later so ingratiated
himself with Charles II. that the king
heaped substantial favors on him. in
GLIDING the gift OF q valuable tract Of
land on which Downing street arose.
Downing built -four plain. square brick
mansions" on 1t, with back fronts" to
st. James park, ''flt for persons Of hon
or and quality, each having a pleasant
prospect with terras walk"
In the eighteenth century the street
had degenerated into shabbiness: most
OF the dingy buildings were used as
lodging houses. and at the King street
end was a rather low chop house, the
Cat and Bagpipes. patronized by Bos-
well, while in one Of the houses Smollett
struggled to earn q living as a surgeon.
Il was only in 1876. wnen Sir Robert
Wslpole moved from st. James square
to the famous No. 10 that Downing
street first assumed the official char
acter which has made ii the most IA
nous street in the world"
