The Umbrella.

The first umbrella ever seen in
the streets Of London was carried BY
the philanthropist James Hanway,
who died in 1856. For many year:
after the introduction of umbrellas
a man could not be seen carrying
one without being booted for his ef-
feminacy, particularly when passing
a hackney coach stand. The drivers
Of these vehicles regarded the um-
brella in the light Of rival. For a
long time coffee houses and inns
were accustomed to keep a single
umbrella Of great magnitude for the
purpose Of shielding customers from
the rain as they passed from the
deJr to their carriages. This mon
strous structure was carried by a
waiter. II was not until about the
year 1900 that the use Of the UNI
brella became so general throughout
Europe and America that a man
could carry one without attracting
the attention Of passersby TO a dis
agreeable extent. In Spain and TIA
" the article was first domesticated.
France adopted il next and lastly

FIGHTING THE SEA.
The Amphihicus Dutchman and Hoi-
lands Battle With Water.

Hollands existence is one long
light against the inroads of the sea.
Much Of the country is below the
ocean level and has only been res
cued from the waves by the colossal
system Of dikes. The Dutchman has
grown SO used to the water that
oftentimes he is nearly an amphib-
ious animal. Fifty thousand Hol-
landers live in barges on the canals.
Even in winter, when the canals are
frozen, these people stick to their
boats, for they have no other home.
The canal houses used to be towed
by dogs, but now this work is done
BY men and women, each family
towing its own boat.
Dutchmen are among the most
expert nayigators in the world. In
utter Indifference to the natural an
tagonism between land and water
and in ability to make either con-
tribute to their necessities, they
have even cxcelled the English. At
the relief Of Leyden the prince of
Orange, by breaking down the bikes
and letting in the sea, made naviga-
ton feasible on a tract of ground
which had formerly been dry land,
ard the strange spectacle was seen
of the Dutch warships floating
among the tops Of orchards and past
the chimneys Of submerged houses.
When Holland was invaded by
France another prince of Orange
formed the plan Of abandoning the
country entirely and conveying all
its population 10 the East Indies.
Holland has always relied on the
ocean as a security against hostile
powers. In our own time a member
of the Dutch royal family attended
a great review Of Prussian troops
Regiment after regiment of strap
ping fellows marched by, but all the
Dutchman would say was, Not tai

BOY IS CAUGHT IN LIBRARY
Youngster Credited with More Love
for Adventure Than Evil.
LOADS UP WITH SOME CURIos
Trapped in Building ana Arrested,
but rs He Has Good Record
Prosecution Probably Will
He Waived. r

II amt been readin' nothin' -, scornfully
declared Charlie WEIGH of AIS South Tween
ty-fourth avenue Monday morning, when
it was intimated that perhaps dime novels
had caused him to attempt to rob the
public library of a lot Of old Indian relics
and a small arsenal of old-time weapons
Sunday night.
The lad says he had intended to sell the
goods after stealing them. Although ne
says he is only Il years OF age, he looks
several years older. According to the po-
lice and the boys family. he has never
been in trouble before and II is thought
that he had merely become seized with a
desire to have some excitement of the
rugged, western sort, and so had chosen
curios of the lays when the plains OF
Nebraska were the scenes Of lively hap
penings between Indian and pioneer.
Crouching under a table in the ehildren's
room OF the public library. with a revolver
in his hand and with a large collection Of
relics ready to be removed from the build
ing the boy was caught about s o'clock last
night by Detectives Dunn and PattulIo
and Emergency Officers Morgan and Lea
hey.
WEIGH was evidently concealed in the
building when it was closed Sunday after
noonP AS soon as 1t became dark he re-
moved his shoes and put on a pair of moe
casins, taken from a collection Of Indian
relics. He had already provided himself
with some candles and two sacks, and he
commenced to gather up plumber of ali
kinds. .-
About the same time the night Waterman
heard someone In the building and called
the station for help Emergency Officer
Morgan went to the library on his motor I
cycle and the patrol wagon followed with
the other officers. The Waterman was 90
frightened that he threw his gun ON Nor
gan and 1t was with difficulty tina he wal
made to understand that It was not another
burglar he was talking to. After the man
was captured the watchman requested that
a policeman be left there with him during
the night, and an officer was detailed TO
remain there. ?

BREAK WITH NICARAGUA
REPUBLIC Is IN SIGHT
United states Tires of Delays in
Dealing with Emery
Claim.

WASHINGTON, April 6--Indications are
that diplomatic relations between this coun-
try and Nicaragua are nearing a crisis,
resulting from the failure of President
Zelaya to adjust the Emery claim. In
diplomatic circles 1t would occasion no
surprise II Senior Espinosa, Nlcaragusn
minister to the United States, should
shortly be told by the State department
that the present difficulty has gone beyond
the range of diplomatic discussion. in which
event his request for passports would
logically follow.
The reticence of the State department in
regard to the case indicates thai the situa-
ton Is more or less grave and that there
is little probability of any settlement of
the difficulty on the basis proposed by
Secretary Knox.
What is regarded as significant in con-
nection with the present state of affairs
is the fact that j. II. Gregory, the Ameri-
can charge d'affaires, who recently reached
here from Nicaragua, is not expected to
return to the Central American republic.
One of the next moves by the State depart
ment will be the tr~anEmisslon of the data
bearing on the case 10 congress.
Minister EsplnOsa declines TO discuss the
situation until further developments.
