KING OF BEGGARS"
IN TROUBLE AGAIN

New York, Apr. 25.-The king Of
beggars" is in New York and under
lock and key. In possession of a
fortune-as some fortunes go-he
was picked up today on charges of
intoxication and disorderly conduct.
He calls himself the king of beg
gars." and had no objection to tell
ing the police of his career. In the
city of Cleveland recently he gath
cred up $1,000 from sympathetic
auditors, and the probate court of
that city appointed guardian to
look after his money
He finally decided to go back to
his home in France, but he fell out
with his guardian and finally came to
grief at Fourteenth street and Ninth
avenue this morning.

STORM THE CAUSE OF
THIS COUPLES ROMANCE

ST. Louis, Apr 25.-A storm be
gan the acquaintance of Hayward
Thompson of Shelbyville, Ky, and
Miss Mae Lucille Wagner of Rocky
Ford, Colo, whose marriage last
evening at Clayton, Mo, is an
nounced.
Driven by the storm Thompson
took refuge in the home of the brid es
mother, Mrs. Althea Wagner. and
three hours later was introduced to
her daughter. That was last summer
when Thompson, who is agent at
St Louis for an eastern sewing ma
chine company, was travelling in Col
orado.
Seven weeks ago the girl and her
mother came to ST. Louis to visit
friends. One night she went to the
household show
Thompson. who was in charge of a
booth near the door of the Caliseum,
spied her. Getting relief from his
duties, Thompson found the girl, and
during the six weeks since. he has
been nightly caller at her abode.

CAMPAIGN MELODIES.

Sigh for the song of the broken
heart!
A smile for the song of cheer!
But how shall we answer the songs
that start
AS the days of campaign draw
near?
Sing hey for the tariff! Ira la for
the trusts!
For the railroads sing tury-li-oh +,
Each melody sounds while it's going
the rounds
Like an echo from long, long ago.
We take up the chorus with lusty
shout;
At the music we never balk.
You don't have to know what you're
singing about,
So it's better to sing than talk.
Then it's derry-down-derry with
graft that we view.
Fol-lol for reforms that are slow.
We will warble a few-though the
tunes are not new
OF the songs of the long. long ago.

LOOPHOLE IN new
UNIFORM ORDER

At last loophole has been found
in the new uniform regulations for the
Army whichwill permit officers Of the
local commands to wriggle out of what
looked like tight corner.
when an abs .ract of the new regu.
lations was first printed in the Army
and Navy Journal, 1t appeared that
officers would never be allowed to
wear the service uniform off post. Lit
orally construed, this meant that con-
structinE quar'ermasters laboring over
the practical problems Of house-build-
ing, engineer officers splashing round
the harbor on Improvement work, and
officers on stan duty at headquarters
would all have to wear the white dress
uniform.
A careful study of the table of &C.
CasiOns" located warm weather"
clause which will probably leave con-
dilions here as they now are.
Here is the paragraph ancnt the SER
vice olive drab which caused all the
pilikia:
Except by the officer OF the day the
service uniform will not be worn aft.
err retreat by officers in garrison. I'M
less prescribed by the commanding Of
iicer for some particular duty, nor will
it be worn off post except as author
lied in the table of occasions of the
dress uniform tdismountcd) occasion
3. page A."
Turning to the page and paragraph
designated. one reads: "The dress
uniform ldismounted) shall he worn
by all officers when off post, cxccp,
that when riding or taking physical
exercise the service uniform may ho
worn instead. In warm weather tho
commanding officer may prescribe tho
cotton service uniform for wear when
of the post before retreat"
