WAITED IN WASHINGTON BE. TWEEN CAPITOL AND THE UNION STATION UNTIL THE Ex- PLOSiON AND THEN RUSHED OFF ITO KILL MORGAN"
ASSAILANT EX-TEACHER
 AT CORNELL UNIVERSITY
Declares Explosion Was Protest Against Shipments of War Mum tions-Holt Studied Sulphuric Acid and Knew 1t Would Eat Out Cors and Explode Dynamite.

New York.-By his own confession, structor in German, who shot J. P. Morgan, was the man who set the bomb that wrecked the Senate recep- tion room In the Capitol at Washing ton. Waiting in Washington be- tween the Capitol and the Union Station until he heard the explosion of his internal machine Holt caught a Pennsylvania Railroad train, reach ing New York just in time to get a train to MT. Morgans home at Glen Cove.
 This man, until two weeks ago an educator with reputation among his associates as an easy going man, ono elevated to high position in his pro, fession because of his close attention to study, sat in cell in Mineola jail and told Justice Of the Peace Luyster and Police Captain Thomas Tunnev head of the Bomb and Anarchist Squad of the New York City Deteo- tive Bureau, how ho had practiced for months the making of bomb to blow up the Capitol, and how after the ex- plosion he raced back to New York and on to Glen Cove to the kill the banker whom he accused of aiding the Allies.
 He pictured in detail his fashioninS of the missile of terror, the like of which has seldom come to the atten. tion of the police. The method of exploding dynamite used by Holt, tito police say, was one so seldom employ ed and so ingenious that they believe Holt had deep knowledge of more scientific secrets than he displayed in Cornell class rooms Detectives worked trying to connect him with the placing of bomb in front of the home of Andrew Carnegie two weeks ago

Similarity of Language.

Early in the day the similarity of language used in the notes sent to Washington newspapers concerning ten confession of shooting MT Nor gan made by Holt, were noted. In the letters mailed in Washington and signed "R. Pearce" the writer said :: We would, of course, not sell to the Germans if they could buy here" In his confession. Holt wrote: "If Ger. many should be able to buy muni- tions here We would of course, posi- lively refuse to sell to her.

 Pretty clever" commented Captain Tunney, encouragingly T don't see how you did it.
 Well you see" Holt continued. his eyes glistening with enthusiasm. 'T had experimented, not once. but many times I knew just what I was doing, and how to do it. I really didn't take any chances. for all my obserya- tions had been checked up. and knew when the bomb would go off al most to- the minute. In fact. I waited in Washington until I heard it go of Then l hurried away as fast as l could, and caught the train for New York. l didn't have much time, so had to hurry"

NOW YOU SEE IT,
 AND NOW YOU DON'T
Hesto! Presto! Says LsRoy, Tal- ma & BosCo, at the Lyceum
 Some Magic

If there is a boy in New Britain who has not seen that noble triumverate, LeRoy, Talma and Bosco, at the Lyceum, then that boy has something coming to him. If he is a real boy he will go out tonight and see the show; just as we did in the olden days when the circus came to town. If we did not happen to have the necessary wherewithal with us at the time We burrowed our way into the tent at the psychological moment. Now in the case of the show at the Lyceum, there Is probably a loose brick around the building somewhere fer those who cannot afford to go up to the box office and purchase ticket and this loose brick if properly pried might divulge a means of getting into the opera house. And, believe us, it's worth any boys time to pry himself into the Lyceum tonight. For he will see things he never saw before. And will see things he never even hoped to see. He will also see a lot or things he never knew existed and he will see some things disappear. And' II he happens to have a seat in an ad- vantageous part of the house he might even have the happy experlence ol seeing Leroy, or Talma, or bosco' pun silver dollars from his inside pocKet or mayhap rabbits, or deck or plaE- ing cards, or handkerchiefs, or um- brellas, or anything. What LeRoy' or Talrna. or Bosco can't do, cannot pc done They are wonders.
 We had a lot of fun last night watching these three unfold thelr mysteries. We saw them take ducks, and rabbits, and other animals out or Bosco's hat, and, believe us, when that was shown to the audience, It was perfectly empty. As empty as our pocketbook, all of which goes to show that the hat was absolutely empty. Then we saw the magic screen and the devils cage and we had couple of watches taken from cur own pockets, watches we never even owned, but watches just the same. oh. It was great.
 It would take too long to tell all about LeRoy, Talma, and Bosco' about the things they do And. when ,o1 come right down to if, we are not e, sure that what they do can be told cn paper. They are the most misty ,nvsterious persons that ever came into the portals of New Britain. AS matter of fact, we think that the chief of police should keep an eye on this trio. When they get a poor innocent fellow ensconced on an upholstered cushion in the Lyceum theater there is no telling what is liable to happen to the innocent spectator. IT he is married they are apt to take ms wife away from him, and, If he Is not married, they are just as liable to have him married before he gets out of the house. It is certainly some art, this magic. And, when in the hands Of LeRoy Talma, and Bosco, magic comes into its own. You should go to the Lyceum this day and see what these three magicians can do. It is really worth your while. And, fur thermore. YOU will have a lot of fun Oh! Heaps of hilarity.

Breeding

breeding I mean is no mere surface politeness, no formal knowledge of the conventions of polite society. 1t is something infinitely deeper and broad CT and more rare than that.
 What a Nurse Said About Wealthy
 Families.
 A nurse who is frequently employed in some of the families whose wealthy ancestry and education have given them the reputation of aristocrats, told me that they often quarrel in her presence and talk to each other in disagreeabIe and even coarse manner.
 These are people whom most of us look up to. Just think, if we will, we can place ourselves above them!
 For the breeding I mean does not talk quarrelsomely or coarsely even-. in the privacy of the family.
 What the Word Breeding Connotcs.
 The real breeding includes courtesy within the family circle as well as without, forbearance, patience, a deep respect for the rights and opinions of others, a well-modulated voice, the use of good English, a knowledge of social forms, absolute personal clean Illness, good grooming, well-informed mind, the self-rcspect that gives the finest kind of poise--and withal (ands- perhaps the hardest of all) a fine sense of humility that will keep one from feeling any pride in ones superiority because one is always so deeply con- scious of the heights yet to scale.
 If you want breeding sincerely enough, no accident of fortune, no fi- nancial deprivation can keep you from acquiring it.
 And if you can attain it you whl- have won that which places you in the only true aristocracy of the world.

LIE ROY, TALMA, BOSCO!
 THEY ARE WONDERS

While Servais LeRoy, the magician, was playing an engagement at the Royal theater, Copenhagen, in 1906, three kings were visiting the King of Denmark. They were King Ed ward VII, of England, the Car of Russia and the King of Greece. One day as the four kings were coming out of the palace in a carriage, MT. LeRoy stepped out of the crowd, and, lowing to the royal four, pro- ceeded to extract a card from the air. It was a king. Once more he reach ed into space and took another card. A king again. Four times he did this and then bowed. The four real kings then bowed to him and passed on. Later they invited MT. LeRoy to visit the palace and give a special performance for them.
 Following a twelve years tour which has carried him around the world, LeRoy, together with Talma and Bosco and a company of 50 ma- gicians. fakirs and jugglers are ap- bearing at the Russwin Lyceum.
