WHO Is RECTANuS? NONE
OTHER THAN cHAs. WESTON

One of the most picturesque figures,
interesting characters and best play
ers in the billiard world today is Oil
yer s. Rectanus, born in Pittsburgh.
Pa, on June 6, 1876.
But who is Dir. Reetanus? ever
heard of such a billiard player. OF
course not. But you have heard of
the deeds, versatilities and eceentrief-
ties of Charles Cowboy Weston, and
Weston is none other than Rectanus,
or Rectanus Weston whichever way
you will have it.
And If you ask the Sioux Indians on
the reservation at Pine Ridge, South
Dakota, if they ever heard OF Weston
or Rectanus, they will answer, MOI"
But they have heard of Charley Waum
-be-leka, which, translated, is Charley
Eagle. This was Weston's Indian cog
noman, the famous cowboy having for
years lived with the Sioux at Pine
Ridge, where he learned their tongue
and became favorite with the tribe.
Later he was appointed an interpre-
ter by the government and acted in
| this capacity at the Indian congress at
Omaha in 1898. Whilst on the reserva-
ton Weston became a wonderful rider
| His skill was so marked that both Buf.
! falo Bill and Pawnee Bill were attract
! ed by it and he was engaged and trav.
eled with these showmen for years. II
was here that he had the sobriquet
! Cowboy Weston" fastened to him
! no off
Weston's real name is Rectanus, but
Charles love for sight of the plains
caused him to run away from home
when mere boy, and after going West
he changed his name to Weston ant
has religiously chung to it.
AS told in the opening paragraph o.
the story, Weston came into the worlc
in 1876. That makes him 81, an agt
when billiard player should be at his
very best.
Weston defeated Thomas A. Hues
ton of St. Louis, then the reigning MOI
arch among pocket billiard experts
for the worlds championship emblem
in Weeghmans room at Chicago OIL
April 8, 1903. The score was 500 t,

Now comes the saddest story il

When Buttons Were Bio.

Bachaumont writes in his Secret
Memoirs" Nov. IS, 1876: 1.-THE mania
for buttons is today extremely ridicu-
lous. They are not only of enormous
size, some of them as big as six pound
crowns, but miniatures and pictures
are made upon them, and this orna'
mentation is extremely costly. Some Of
them represent the medals Of the
twelve Caesars. others antique statues
and still others the Metamorphoses OF
Ovid"
Isabey, in his biographical notes
says that when he came to Paris he
worked for a living by making copies
Of vanloos and Bouchers on the lids OF
snuffboxes and that for these medal
lions he was paid from 6 to francs
each. LAS it was still the fashion," he
said, "to wear buttons as big as five
franc piece, upon which Cupids, flow
ers and landscapes were cut in cameo
I went into that business. I got l.
sous for each"

LONDON HAS SCARE
FROM BOMB SQUADS
Militants Put in a Busy Day
Terrorizing the English
Capital.

LONDON, May 16.-This was busy
day for the militant suffragettes bomb
squad. A Waterman in Westbourne
park discovered a suspicious looking
object on bench and, upon examina-
ton, it proved to be one of the now
famous sufragette Internal machines.
II was composed of glass tube filed
with gunpowder and shot 1t had a
fuse attached, but was not lighted. At
tached to the bomb was card upon
which was written: "Give us votes and
we win give you peace"
Another bomb was discovered upon
the steps of the Rotherhithe, the pub
lie library. The bomb was wrapped
in copy Of the Suffragette, the of
fetal organ of the women's social and
political union. While its makeup was
dangerous it was not contrived so as
to explode.
Rotherhithe, or Redriff, is quarter
of London on the Surrey side of the
Thames.
Another glass-cased bomb was placed
in the postoffice at Wandsworth, asub-
urb OF the city. It contained power
full explosive and slugs. A card bear
ing the suffragette's colors and the in
scription: Votes for women" was at
tached to it.
Scotland Yard Officials have begun
to take hope from the fact that the
militants apparently lack the nerve
to jeopardiZe human life by exploding
one of their bombs. Suffragette hobs
containing dynamite or other explo-
sivves susceptible to conclusion, have
been left in exposed places where
they might have been set off by care.
1essness or oversight, nevertheless the
women have taken precaution to pre-
vent explosions.
The bombs containing clockwork at
tachments and detonators, were us
ually fixed SO that an explosion would
be averted, while Scotland Yard men
say some of the machines containing
powder and fuses were dampened sc
that there could be no ignition.
However, these assurances have moi
allayed the public fear. The belief is
general that "the women will yet com
NIT an outrage which may cost dearly
in human life"
The detective division of Scotland
Yard, which has ben busy gathering
evidence to be used against the 81,
militant leaders and their male ad
herents, have made interesting dis
coveries as to the complete organiza

WORST STORM IN HISTORY
VISITS WATER GAP SECTION

STROUDSBURG, Pa, Aug. g.
Stroudsburg and the Delaware Gap
were yesterday afternoon the centre
of a storm that is said to be unpre-
cedented in the history of this Sec
ton of the State. Seven and one-half
inches of rain fell between 1890 and
3 o'clock, doing damage estimated at
more than 100000. No lives have
been reported lost. Manunka Chunk,
Pen Argyll, Portland and Bangor were
among the other towns to suffer Sc
verely Hotels at the Delaware Wa
ter Gap, many of them crowded with
summer visitors, were badly dam
aged, water mains were broken and
the resort was in darkness last night
through the Gripping of the electric
light plant.
The railroads were the heaviest
losers. Miles of track were washed
out on the Delaware. Lackawanna
and Western, the Pennsylvania and
the New York, Susquehanna and
Western.
A telephone operator at Portland
was rendered unconscious by bolt
of lightning which struck her switch
board in the height of the storm.
A few minutes after the storm
broke the streets in Stroudsburg
were bank full of water and cellars
were rapidly filled. In East Strouds-
burg the rush of water was so great
that the works of the international
Boiler plant were flooded and the
walls of the factory bulged so badly
that they will have to be torn down.
