The j LAYHOUSES
DETROIT OPERA HOUSE.

The gorgeousness and solemnity OF
the funeral cortege OF the late King
Edward VII. as II passed through the
streets of London is shown IN the
Howe Travelogue, in the Detroit
opera house, this week. The various
scenes as the funeral procession made
its stately way through the city arc
shown with beautiful clearness and
the utmost faithfulness OF detail. The
features OF those in tho procession
are seen distinctly, while the changing
expressions on the faces OF the onlook-
ers are as clear as though the onlook-
ers were present IN the flesh.
All OF the royal personages, the am
bassadors from the various countries,
cur own Theodore Roosevelt and the
notable persons who attended the fu-
neral as mourners can easily be dis
tinguished in the passing OF the cor
tege. The splendid soldiery of Ems
land Is seen at its best; the wreaths
and flowers covering the gun carriage
upon which lay the body OF the dead
monarch are wonderfully realistic and
even the design of the jeweled crown
which surmounts IL all Is readily seen.
Other films on the DILL show Mount
Etna with its molten lava and the
distress TO towns and villages AMI
their Inhabitants consequent upon an
eruption. Beautiful views OF the
Rhine, Of Norway, tho English village
country are shown, and number OF
comic pictures are also included In the
bill which runs every afternoon and
evening.

ceiving her by palming himself off as
the son of q nobleman.
When the couple arrived in Boston
they went at once to the United States
hotel. where they took breakfast to-
gether The detective now thought Miss
Brownie more fascinating than ever,
and at the first opportunity he threw
discretion to the winds and began WOO
ing in the most approved Italian style,
Pressing his suit with an ardor more
impetuous than conventional. he begged
her to become his wife.
1t appears that her deep sorrow, her
soft words, and above all, her fears,
had quite bewildered him. Real beauty
in distress was too much for the warm
bIooded Latin, and he surrendered nm
conditionally. In impassioned terms he
declared his love and offered her his
heart and hand.
The young woman, although seeming
ly overcome. was altogether too modest
10 accept. Somewhat taken back by
this premature declaration, she was suf-
ticientlv self-poised TO assure HIM that
he was pleasing to her and that she
deeply appreciated his attention But

As deception is ofttimes a part of the
detective S stock in trade, he thought
there could be no great harm in 1T after
all was understood. 1T seems that he
told her the secret of his being the son
of an italian nobleman of great wealth
and that he was travelling lncog to
crafty his curiosity.
While the story he told was wholly
false. he was quite good looking enough
and sufficiently genteel in appearance
10 bear out the statement. From what
occurred il was apparent that the young
woman herself was somewhat impressed
and quite uncertain as TO the true status
Of the detective,
Her story as told TO Merito appeared
straightforward and truthful. Her
mother was dead Her father, although
in the enjoyment of large income,
the result of frugahty and well-ap-
piled business transactions, was bowed
down with grief and very much broken
in health because of. the waYward
course OF her darling brother. He had
been led astray by evil associates and
officers, who charged him with deal

rest he had forsaken his home and fed

question one of the smoothest men I
ever had to deal with. His style WAS
his own and quite inimitable- AS
remarkable character actor he might
have excelled either upon the stage or
in the pulpit. Few writers have ever
been able, without resorting to fiction,
to record an exploit conducted with
more masterly presence and success.
Brownie had in his composition a
deep grain Of the ridiculous coupled
with the tenderness and pathos of a
woman. II is said that on more than
one occasion he had adorned himself
in female attire and attended hops at
the Academy of Music. He boosted
that he had once appeared in the grand
march leaning upon the arm of Sheriff
Brennan. whose deputies were at the
time in hot pursuit Of him.
In taking the trip on the steamer
Providence and playing the part Of
n fascinating woman, it was not sur
prising that Brownie was able to dupe
the detective. AS a gifted impersonator
he could reproduce to nicely the
tones and modulations of the detective g
voice. His description and imitation of
the impassioned love scene that took
place between himself and Merito was
very entertaining Brownie was too
crafty and gifted criminal to run at
large. He was put on trial, convicted
and sentenced to the Albany peniten.
tiary for a term of fifteen years.
Merito was so chagrined and over
come on account of his escapade with
Brownie that he lost his assurance and
was unable 10 face his fellow officers.
