The newspapera of Philadel phia helped to effect the capture of Keen. Soon after the kid napping the police came upon a tangible cine to the identity of the Kidnapper. About the «une time the reportera following the case learned of thia fact and be gan to bint that the police were on the trail. Instantly the clue vanished. The police knew the kidnap per waa Kean. and they knew he was ia Philadelphia, but vhere or how be had hidden waa a mystery. At 9 o'clock on Fri day night Superintendent of Po lice Taylor determined upon an unprecedented move. He had juat received through the Muths a letter from the kidnapper in which he threatened to kill the boy and himself. Each night city editor waa aaked to confer with Taylor. They went to tbe city hall. Tbe police laid bare everything-1ettcrs, evidence, names. Then Superintendent Taylor and the captain of detec tives asked the help. As a re sult there waa no leak. The day following the confer ence the Philadelphia morning newspapers all printed stories on tbe Moth kidnapping, the kind known to the profession as "hot air." Moat of them contained a fanciful yarn about the police aeatcbing for an Armenian. Now it ao happened this was not altogether a deception on tiie readers. There really «m an Armenian wanted by the Philadelphia police. They were hunting for him ia New York. Bat he was not wanted in con· nectkm with the kidnapping. On Sunday night the moat des pcrate card of the campaign was played. Through hia neighbor, Drnggiat Ο an*, waa placed in Mr. Muth's banda a letter that nearly drove him frantic. It waa the last meaaage from the kid napper. It· language indicated that the boy waa a» good as dead nnleaa the Police were called oR at once. The kidnappeT direct· ed Mr. Math jnat how ha waa to call the police οβ. He told Math to tell the police be had been fooling them and the boy waa with relative* either at New Brunswick or Brooklyn. Capt. Donagby waa mnch perturbed when Moth ahowed him tbe nota. "Mr. Mutb," aaid' the captain of detective·. "I have a olan for meeting this emergency, bnt von most consent to being pat ta a very nafavorabia light. Yon moat allow yourself to be held up in tbe papers as a ft and and fakh, who baa deceived the po lice for some ulterior motive." "You can aay anything you | S ease about me if you only find e boy," add Mute. Again that night eity editor· ware aent for. "Boy·," said tbe captain, "I want one more big favor. If tble fail· to work we are pretty near dona, 1 wast you to do an ι unusual thing—to print a delib-1 era te fake story." Capt. Dooagby ahowed the | laat letter from tbe kidnapper. •'Now," he aaid, "I waut you boy· to vet together ou a vara to the effect that Moth baa been fooling the police and that we have thrown up tbe case ia dlé guât. Math will atsnd for aay· thing you aay. Bring la the pMoe· New Branswick and Brook!Λι ia your story, ao the STki· MMkirM kto'lMaT-' id broken down aad bad that Um boy had sever bees kidnapped at all. Muth woke up in the morning to find himself an object of acorn and ridicule. Neighbor· re· fosed to apeak to him. Others openly threatened bin. In general he wsa given to under stand that he had outlived hie usefulness in the neighborhood. Mnth stood it lilu s stoic. How bis heroism wss rewarded short ly alter Ζ o'clock ia told else where. The fake served its purpose. The kidnapper, get ting the morning psper, was thrown of! bis guard. He peeped from his hole. The trsp closed and the mystery was mystery no longer. The following special from Philadelphia to The Washington Post, Sunday night, ia a sample of the fake atories above re ferred to: Charles Muth, father of Ρ red die Muth, the seven-year· old boy who waa kidnapped last Tneaday, astounded Captain of Detectives Donaghy to-night by admitting that be knew all along where his son was, and who had abducted him. He did not admit it, however, antil the detective chief cornered him. after s severe aweating-out, sad calmly told bitn be <hd not be lieve s word |be had said about the kidnapping. The father then reluctantly said he knew where the boy was, but for reasona which he would never divulge be would not say why be had allowed the im position to be practiced on the public or on the police. His wife, he said, knew noth ing of the falsity of the story, snd her grief had been genuine. The fsther intimated the boy bad got into the hands of relatives snd wss all right. Dm»·rata Ball Fight. Yotfkvilto Hwwlm, Mr. C. H. Smith, carrier oa rural route No. 5 had a deeper· at* fight last Wedneaday morn· ing with an infuriated Jersey bull of which he waa the owner, and although be came out of the struggle ■> the victor, it waa not without serious braises and a very narrow escape from death. The horn· o( the bull broke tbe skin on Mr. Smith in two places in tbe lower part of tbe abdomen and the groin, and Mr. Smith cam· near breaking tbe animal's bead with a piece of two by four scantlinn. "It was this way," said Mr. Smith, telling about the ad venture. "I was putting the bull in bis stall. He appeared to be lu gentle humor and I had no rea aon to look for trouble; but when I told him to 'stand over' he made a sudden lunge at me. It waa altogether unexpected and I waa knocked a distance of aix or eight feet: but was lucky enough to retain my footing. The ball came at me again, and seeing that I bad to fight or be killed I braced myself and met hia with tbe scantling as hard as X could drive it. The first Mow knocked the bull to hia knees almost and when be got np he started to run; but I let drive at him again, and came near killing him. Tbra I got a pitch fork and be was ready to give np. He tried to climb tbe wall, anything to get ftwny from me. Bnt if I hadn't |«t that first Hck with the scantling be would have certainly ftnithed me. He's been tame enotigh rincr, nnd 1 think he will be careful about trying any mora of bis tricha again for some time to come. But let me Mil you something. Don t yon ever put too much trust in ft bull, U cauee you can't tell when he la qotng to try to kill yon." Subscribe for Ths Oastomia Qaskttb. TILLMAN KQUIKZS APOLOOT N· thing Short ·!

M1 have been insulted there once and I do not propose to place myself in this position jura in if I can prevent it." These were the word· used by Senator Tillman when be was made acquainted with the Presi dent's recent utterance· tending to indicate ■ desire tor » recon ciliation between himself and the senior Senator from South Carolina. The unpleasant difficulty that started the galleries of tha Senate a few years back when the two South Carolina Sena tors—Tillman and McLaurin·— engaged in the manly art of knocking each other about the floor, and the subsequent with drawal of Tillman*· invitation to the reception at the White House to meet l'rince Henry, then paying a visit to this coun try. are «till fresh in the minds of the people who have followed Senator Tillman's career since he entered the Sénat*. There L» do notion oo the put oi Senator Til)man of bringing •boat a réconcilia with the chief chief executive, unless ancb re conciliation ia accompanied by an unconditional apology from the President, and there ia little probability of tbia, and the matter of a love feaat between them ia atill in the air. Senator Tillman haa more than once expressed bimaelf in very strong language concerning thia matter. He waa aeen to day at bia apartments on Κ street and waa told that a few daya ago the Preaident intimated to Senator Qalllnger and Representative Johnson that an amicable ajaat ment of paat difference» might be deairabte. After a careful ■tndy for aome month a the only utterance that he could give to Lhe matter ia that qnoted above. Thoae who know Senator Tillman well, know that noth ing abort of an apology will satisfy him. While the Preai dent is credited with having laid that be liked Senator Till man, and while Senator Tillman la likewise qnoted aa having made a atatement to the effect that he believed the Preaident to be atraigbt and all right, these are taken aa only paaaing re marka, made without aerious consideration and hardly worth remembering. The utterance* of Senator Tillman that be would not allow bimaelf to be again iaaalted, are believed to represent hi· real feelings to wards the President. While he admits that he ia ready to for give a man—whether be is Presi dent or a private dtsen—for a wrong, he is not willing ac cording to hia own words, to place himself in the attitude of being wilfully insulted a second time, even though that man be the President of the United Statea. ' Alter Um Daadag-Mastar. VeAvIlk HnqifTtr, 10th. Rev. Β. B. Gillespie, pastor of the Pint Presbyterian Church, took occasion, at the close of his Isst Sand ay morning sermon, to tiw hi· congregation some peet Sr straight talk on the subject of aoclog. The general subject of the sermon waa "the raising of children as they abonld be raised," and at its slose Mr. Qillespie took occasion to speak very «otoedly on the subject of dancing. He referred specific ally to the "school of grace," recently organised in Yorkville, and condemned it in eery posi tive language. He took occa sion to say that if physicians should identify some particular district as distinctively tàalarisl and point out the fact, -people would shun that district. The speaker was here to look after the spiritual welfare of the com munity inates the pbysidanswere here to look after the phyaical welfare, ud be declared against the spiritual and moral health of the "school of grace." He quoted front tbe discipline of varions de nominations and read letters from different church authorities to show the estJ«ate in which dsncing is held by most Chris tian denominations. He express ed himself as uncompromising la bis own opposition to dancing and gave the onaregatlou to understand that he does not pro· pooe, even to the slightest de me, to evade or dodge tbe issue that has been presented. As the result of the sermon it ts under· stood thst a aumber of pupils who had entered tbe dancing school will withdraw their fur· that attendance. LOO Η Ν θ m LOST IUK.

Many tbeortea have been advanced as to «kit baa really become of tbe young bride, but tbe one moot generally ac cepted is thai she baa been put to death. It ia believed by frienda and relatives that were •be alive some word would bave been received from her long be fore this. Miss Hood wu mar· ried to Cavendish at New Iberia, La., on December 18 of last year and since tbat date not one line baa bees received from her. A fund is being raised by tbe peo ple of AshevUVe as a reward tor the apprehemion of tbe maa Cavendish or "Lord Douglas" and so ireelv bave tbe peonle contributed tbat more than >250 baa already been secured. WAS DOUOLA8 IK ASUICVILLK? It la believed here that 10 year· ago " Lord Douglas" came to Aabeville with one of hia wivea and remained la tbia city for aoise time. A well kaowa Asbeville lady, coaveraaot with the alleged vint of Dootlai or Cavaoduh to Aabeville 10 vein or more are. today waa shown a photograph of "Lord Don*! as" —the one identified by Mr*. Hood aa that of tbe man wbo married her dangbter—aad a be immediately declared that it waa a picture of the maa wbo came to her boaae years ago and ap plied for board. "I would not be willing to go oa tbe witaeaa atand aad awear that this is a picture of of tbe *ame person," said ahe, "but 1 would be al most persuaded to swear tbat il it isn't hia picture it is a picture of hia twin-brother." Continu ing thla lady aaid: " A boat tea years ago a man and hia wife came to my boose and applied for board. Tbe maa passed as aa invalid and I, fear in? tbat be was affected with tuberculosis, declined to board either him or hia wife. Tbe couple, however, did aeenre board with a lady wbo some· time ago left Aaheville, bat whose aaogbter—now married— resides here. There waa some thing suspicious connected witb the conple. Tbe maa waa about 30 years of age at that time aad of only medium height. Daring the conple'a stay here a baby waa born. Shortly afterwards tbe couple left Aabeville for a abort trip to the eastern part of the state, saying tbat thev would shortly return. The baby waa left in tbe keeping of the lady witb whom they boarded, aad also money for tbe care of the baby. At Salisbury s letter wu written to tbe Aabeville lady in which it was ctated that the couple would not return. Mon ey wu enclosed (or the bat»'· keeping and tbe promise that more money would be seat later. So far as I know that was tbe last aeen or beard of tbe couple. Tbe baby remained with die Asbeville lady and she left bete for the west several yean ego and the baby went with bar. "At the time this couple re sided in Asbeville there was so frae delivery of ssail and the man daily went to the postoffice for bis mail.

There was wry fall dis cussion of matters relating to building aod loan aaaodatiooa, and the following may be con sidered cardinal principles de veloped by discussion aod de bate: 1.

Tool ex Dense of conduct· i«C sa association should set exceed 2X per cent, for the smaller ones, aor IX per cast, for the larger ones. Some, of the weQ-coadoctad aseocistioas beep the expense account inside oae per eeat. 9. Building: and loan associa tions should not be taxed, be· cause the association never hold· money or property. It acta as a trustee to accumsralate money from members and at once turn the aggregate over to one or move members who at once builds a house or puts it in other taxable form. 10. In a properly organised building and loan association, all profits are distributed to membera in proportionate pay ments. The only profit is the interest paid oa loans, compounded, and what little the fines make. The only expense Is the compensa tion paid for actual servicea ren dered by secretary and treasurer, cost of stationary and books. Presidents, directors and com mittees serve without pay. The building and loan presidents and directors and committees* serve for the same motive that church boards and school boards serve, vis; For the general good, ι Wherever the motive becomes one of personal advantage the institution ceases to ha a «did ing and loan association and be comes an ordinary profit-making concern for the benefit of those who ere in the scheme of per sonal advantage. 11. All foreign interstate, national and other association· making loans outside of local home, territory, shottld be avoided by the peotrte and pro hibited by law.^^ A Palmy te Steal Mam(.
