The Committee of Canvassers Or- ganizes for Work. pe Sas Re ee Se THE CITY T0 BE DISTRICTED. —— a Every One to Be Asked to Give in Money or Supplies THE MEETING LAST NIGHT. The committee of fifty appointed by the chairman of the central relief committee to canvass the city systematically for sub- scriptions both of money and supplies, to be applied to the relief of the poor, assem- bled last night in the red parlor of the Eb- bitt House, in response to Chairman Tracey's call, and took steps to at once ac- complish the purpose for which the com- mittee was created. An executive commit- tee of seven persons was provided for to district the city and appoint subcommit- tees to carry out the canvass. This execu- tive committee expects to do its preliminary work tonight, so that the members of the subcommittees may be notified and go forth on their mission at once. The members of the committee present last night were Geo. Truesdell, Jacob J. Appich, Mrs. J. Wesley Bovee, R. J. Collins, Edward F. Droop, John Joy Edson, Henry Franc, H. P. Godwin, Chas. Graff, A. F. Hillyer, Mrs. H. B. F. Macfarland, Dr. C. G. Stone, Dr. Byron Sunderland, Mrs. A. M. Shadd, Rev. J. An- derson Taylor and Gen. Duncan S. Walker. Col. Tracey, chairman of the central relief committee, and Messrs. Wilkins and Noyes of that committee were also present. It was announced that I. L. Blout, Mrs. Chas. G. Dulin, E. J. Hannan, Mrs. Wm. M. Springer and Louis D. Wine, who were not present, had accepted service on the committee. Col. Tracey called the committee to order, explained the purposes for which it was ap- pointed, said that the central relief com- mittee deemed it important to provide a larger and more powerful agency than it- self and one that would come in closer touch with the neighborhoods and the com- of their duty of love, and called to the chair Mr. George Truesdell, who had been named as chairman of the committee. Mr. Truesdell in the Chatr. Mr. Truesdell, upon taking the chair, said that he had accepted the chairmanship with considerable reluctance, but it was his in- tention to give to the committee his time and his best energies. He spoke of the gen- erosity with which the people of Washing- ton had always responded to the call of distress both at home and elsewhere, and he felt sure that they were only waiting now to be called upon by this committee. Mr. H. P. Godwin was elected secretary upon the nomination of Dr. Stone of Bright- wood, and Mr. John E. Herrell was chosen treasurer on Mr. Edson’s nomination. Rev. Dr. Sunderland briefly addressed the committee, making suggestions regarding the work to be done and the division of the city. Aa Executive Committee. After some discussion as to the necessity of districting the city and enlarging the membership of the committee so as to pro- vide subcommittees for each district, the following resolutions offered by Mr. Edson were adopted: “Resolved, That an executive committee of seven persons be appointed by the chair- man, of which the president, secretary and treasurer of this committee shall be ex-of- ficio members, which committee shall have power to subdivide the District of Columbia into suitable subdistricts; to enlarge this committee, and appoint therefrom the sub- committees and special canvassers provided for in the resolution of the central commit- tee. “That during the intervals between the meetings of this committee the executive CORRECTED BY MR. WILSON. He Denies Saying That He Cared Nething About Mill Owners. The American Wool and Cotton Reporter of Boston today publishes the following letter from Chairman Wilson of the ways and means committee: WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 29, 1893. Editor of the Wool and Cotton Reporter: In your issue of December 28 I find in a letter from Mr. James* McLaughlin, jr., Glenside woolen mills, the following state- ment: “The writer has just returned from Washington, after having a conference with Mr. Wilson and the Hon. David B. Hill, and both of these gentlemen expressed themeslves as having no interest in the mill ownérs, but if it can be shown that it will affect the voters’ interest they are ready to consider a change in tariff bill,” &e. Permit me to state that so far as I am referred to this statement is absolutely in- correct. I never expressed any such state- ment and never entertained any such idea. I do not recall any conversation with thi writer, but that may be due to my inabil- ity to remember all with whom I have re- cently talked. I do believe and have said to gentlemen thus interviewing me that the interests of 70,000,000 men, women and children, who consume woolen goods, should have paramount consideration, but the fact that I have reported a bill carrying 40 per cent protection to mill owners, $4 on $10 worth of goods, shows a very tender consideration for the interests of the mill owners, especially in view of the fact that in 1866 the joint report of wool manutac- turers and wool growers only asked that “all manufactures composed wholly or in part of wool or worsted shall be subject- ed to a duty which shall be equal to 25 per cent net.” This is the only one of num- berless misrepresentations I have under- taken to correct, and I venture to correct it because I recognize your general cour- tesy and intent to be fair. Yours truly, WM. L. WILSON. ON BISMARCK. soe ARNIMWS ATTACK Story About the Indemnity France Paid to Germany. Count von Arnim has transferred from Vienna to Berlin his attack on Prince Bis- marck on account of Herr Hans Blum's re- cent accusations that the count’s father, the | { late Count Harry von Arnim, prostituted his official duty at the Paris embassy to Bourse speculation. Blum made the accusation in his “Germa- ny in the Times of Bismarck,” published to a certain extent under the old chancellor's patronage. On December 9 Count von Arnim wrote a letter to Bismarck which is published in the newspapers in Berlin, demanding that he re- tract within eight days the statement that Count Harry von Arnim delayed the pa: ment of the French war indemnity in 1873 So as to “give himself and Baron Hirsch a good chance for speculation.” Count von Arnim narrates thus the events which, he says, Prince Bismarck has allow- ed to be distorted and made the basis of an infamous accusation— In 1873 Marshal von Manteuffel was al- lowed to negotiate concerning the indemnity with Baron St. Vallier, the French diplo- matist, independently of everything els despite the fact that Count Harry von Ar- nim was the recognized negotiator to deal with St. Vallier. As the count was not in- formed what Manteuffel was charged te perform the result was deplorable confusion, which the French diplomatists knew how to utilize to the utmost. The present Count von Arnim says that Prince Bismarck failed utterly to recognize Count Harry von Arnim’s timely warning of the republic's capability to conclude alli- ances. In conclusion the count says that but one conclusion can be drawn from Bismarck's refusal now to break silence on the subject. oe STEIN'S ARCTIC EXPEDITION. Baron Nordenskiold Contributes $1,000 to Take a Swede Along. The Dundee whaling steamer Aurora re- cently brought the rews that the two young Swedish naturalists, Bjorling and Kalstennius, who were wrecked on the Cary Islands in August, 182, had started for Ellesmere land, and that Mr. Stein of the United States geological survey, who comraittee shall possess and exercise all its functions, and that full reports of all its proceedings shall be made to this commit- tee.” Money as Well as les. A question arose as to whether the sub- committees provided for in the resolution were to canvass for money contributions as well as supplies. Col. Tracey and Mr. Wilkins of the central committee explained the resolution of that committee creating the committee of fifty and it was finally decided that the subcommittees were au- thorized to secure contributions both of money and supplies. Col. Tracey said that the design of the central committee was to make the committee of fifty a confederation of neighborhood effort. The work of retef, he said, had already been begun and yes- terday about fifty cases had been attended to. An inquiry having been made as to the manner of expending the relief funds Mr. Truesdell suggested that the subcommittees might render good service while engaged in canvassing by reporting cases of desti- tution that might come to their notice and Col, Tracey remarked that the central re- lief committee would undoubtedly use the agency of this larger committee to carry out the work of relief. A resolution thanking the proprietors of the Ebbitt House for the use of the parlor was adopted and the committee then ad- journed subject to the call of the executive committee. ——_ -+e+- Detroit Has 2 $250,000 Fire. Fire started from some unknown cause in the third story of T. H. Hinchman & Sons’ wholesale drug house at Detroit about 6:30 last evening. The entire four stories were shortly beyond saving, and the fire- men directed their efforts to saving ad- joining buildings. Adjoining the Hinchman building is Standart Bros., wholesale hard- ware house, which also suffered heavily from fire and water. W. H. Edgar & Co., wholesale sugar deal- ers, sustained a loss of seyeral hundred dollars from fire, water and smoke. An- other building, occupied by Louis Blitz & Co., fancy glass manufacturers, was some- what damaged, with small loss on stock. —_—_-e+—___ jeago Has Over $3,000,000 Surplai Controller Wetherell’s final report, made to the city council of Chicago yesterday, included a statement of the exact condition of the city finances, prepared by Bookkeeper Hayes, which bears little resemblance to the report recently made by Mr. Kingwell, the expert accountant, who was employed by Mayor Swift to make an examination of the amount of cash remaining to the credit of the different funds. Mr. Kingwell re- ported an alarming deficit. Mr. Hayes, on the contrary, says the surplus resources of the city over ail actual Habilities amount to nearly $3,000,000. coe A Big Gun Jackete One of the large 13-inch guns for the new battle ships was jacketed at the Washington navy yard yesterday afternoon in the pres- ence of a number of officers from the Navy Department, including Commander Cook and Ensign Washington. The operation was ene of the most succtssful ever witnessed at the yard. As one of the experts put the huge jacket on, it slipped into its proper | place around the steel tube as easily as put- ting on a glov Se ee ee ee Alien Con t Labor.

Interview with a St. Louls Lawyer. Additions to rented premises, when made by the tenant, should never be fastened with nails, but with screws. The reason for this lies in the fact that should he wish to move away and take with him the boards and other lumber composing the improve- ments he has made, he can simply draw out the screws and take the planks. if he fastens them with nails, however, he can remove nothing, and the improvements be- come the landlord's property. The fact re- sults from a legal quibble, insisting that | articles fastened with screws are for tem-! porary use, and if put in place by the ten- ant are his own property. is organizing an expedition to that land, would make it his first duty to search for the lost scientists. For this purpose he communicated with Baron Adolf Erik Nordenskiold of Stockholm, Sweden, to whom the papers written by Bjorling were addressed. Yesterday Mr. Stein received the following cablegram: “Is place stil# open for Swede, we con- tributing $1,000, Telegraph Nordenskiold.” Mr. Stein at once replied: “Place open for Swede, thanks.” Baron Nordensktold is one of the fore- most Arctic authorities. In 1878 he started in the steamer Vega to follow the north coast of Asia eastward through the Arctic ocean. This he accomplished with unex- ampled rapidity, arriving almost within sight of Bering strait in September of the same year. In the following year he passed through that strait and returned home by way of Japan, being thus the first to cir- cumnavigate Asia, a feat perhaps without a parallel in Arctic history. Mr. Stein has written him, offering him the command of his expedition to Ellesmere land. They Manage Public Works so as to Secure Large Profit From the New York Evening Post. In @ recent report on German labor ques- | tions Mr. Brage gives some facts concern-| ing the way in which public works are man- | aged to the public profit. Of the forty-four largest towns in Germany twenty-nine own | their own gas works. ‘The largest of these! measured by the amount of gas produced, are the three for the city of Berlin. In Leipsic the gas works return an annual sum of over 1,000,000 marks ($240,000), while in Breslau the net profit is 416.8%) marks ($100,000), Berlin 1s especially remarkable for the extent of its municipal industries and the financial results which it achieves, As carly as 1847 the city began to establish its own gas works, and for a time used all the surplus proceeds for their extension. In 1864, when the municipal funds showed a deficit of about 3,000,000 marks, the sur- Plus income of the gas works was paid into the treasury. The practice has since been continued, and the sum thus paid over rose from 863,235 marks in 186% to 1874 and 5,320,540 in 1801-02. In 1N73 the municipality took over the water works formerly belonging to an English company. Since that time it has greatly improved the supply and has introduced greater economy by the system of payment according to the amount used rather than in proportion to the rental of the property. In 181-02 the r works showed a surplus of 1,496,056 marks avatlable for general municipal pur- Doses, like advantageous result of mu- nicipal management appears in the financial returns of the various markets. On the other hand, the drainage works required a subsidy from the municipal revenue of 2,712,069 marks. Berlin has also established @ public disinfectant house and public baths, but has refused to establish shelters for travelers, or a municipal labor registry, on the ground that this would be to trench on ground already occupied by private asso- clations. Tramways and electric lighting are carried on by private companies, under a concession from the municipality, but this concession lapses at the end of a given pe- riod, and the city reserves to itself the right of assuming control wherever it shall see fit to do so. A Small Boy's Big Scheme. From the Chicago Tribune. “Gent'men,” said a bright-eyed, dirty- faced boy about ten years old, who invaded a lawyer's office on Washington street yes- terday morning, “I ain't beggin’, but I’m out 0’ work an’ I'm tryin’ to borrow ‘nough money to buy a gun.” “What do you want of a gun?” inquired one of the clerks. “Want to make a livin’ wid it. IT don’t want a 'xpensive gun. I know wher’ I can git one fur a dollar naf, an’ I'll pay it back in two weeks. I will, honest.” “How are you going to make a living with a cheap gun, my boy?” “Killin’ English sparrers. I'm one 0’ de unemployed, but I ain't got down to soup | houses yit. ‘I'll eat de birds an’ git 2 cents apiece fur de heads.

INSPECTOR BRADSHAW REPORTS. eke canoes Danger Spots on the Metropolitan Branch Pointed Out. SCENE OF MISS CURTIS’ DEATH Up to the present time the Baltimore and Ohio railroad officials have made no effort to comply with the recommendation of the coroner’s jury, that better protec- tion be afforded the public at the Carroll avenue crossing at Takoma on the Metro- politan branch. It will be recalled that it was at this crossing that Miss Ethel Curtis was run over and horribly mangled to death. The Commissioners are not disposed to forget this case, and recently Inspector Brad- shaw was sent to the scene of the accident to learn what, if any, move the railroad company had made in the direction of pub- lic safety at that point. Inspector Bradshaw submitted his report this afternoon, and does not mince words. He says: bi “The recommendation of the coroner's jury in the case of Ethel Conroy Curtis urging the necessity for better protection at the Carroll avenue crossing, Takoma Park, D. C., is but a recognition of the de- mands of the public welfare at that point, and thoroughly*in accord with the tenor of recommendations heretofore made by this office with respect to that and other crossings on the Metropolitan branch of the Baltimore und Ohio railroad beyond the city mits, none of which up to this ‘ime have received, by way of practical demonstration, at least, the consideration at the hands of the railroad authorities that matters directly concerning the public safety and welfare should demand. “Twenty-one days have now elapsed since the sad occurrerce which resulted in the death of Miss Curtis, but as yet there has been no effort on the part of the railroad to provide against similar accidents, while the same danger continues to threaten. “In view of tnis and the importance of Carroll avenue as a thoroughfare, it would seem obligatory upon the railroad company to lay aside its dilatory tactics and antag- onistic spirit with respect to such matters and at once equip this crossing with the uecessary requisites of safety. Recommendations de, “Therefore, in lieu of the present inad- equate means of protection here I would urge as necessary to meet the public re- quirements of safety and convenience: “First—As a protection to pedestrians the erection of double gates with side arms to extend over the north and south footwalks of the crossing. “Second—The erection and maintenance | of three additional lamps respectively at the northwest, northeast and southeast cor- ners of the crossing. “Third—The laying of a footwalk across the tracks to join the station platform as a continuation of the south sidewalk of Carroll avenue. “Fourth—The solid planking of the. cross- ing roadway to a level with the top of the rails between and to meet the footwaiks of the crossing. Other Danger Spots. “In the further interest of safety I deem it my duty in this connection to renew the previous recommendations with respect to the Chestnut avenue and Lamond cross- ings. The requirements of travel over these crossings demand proportionate pro- tection at least, and I believe those recom- mendations will afford it if put into practi- cal effect. They are in substance as fol- lows: At Chestnut avenue additional to electric alarm signals previously erected, the maintenance of two lights, the laying of plank footwalks for pedestrians, the bal- lasting or planking of the crossing between the footwalks. “At Lamonds the erection of electric alarm signals and the ballasting or plank- ing of the crossing to the width of 35 feet.” These recommendations are now in the hands of the Engineer Commissioner, who, it is understood, will bring the matter to the attention of the board at its next regu- lar session and urge that the railroad com- pany be compelled to make the improve- ments recommended. pescae eel § THE TRADE ARK CASE. ments in the Case Listened to by the Court of Appeals. sale) The Court of Appeals today heard argu- ments in what is known as the Palmetto trade mark case, which involves the ques- tion of the right of the commissioner of patents to refuse an application for the registration of a trade mark made on the part of the governor of the state of South Carolina on behalf of that commonwealth. This trade mark was designed to be used as a brand for lquors, which, under the dispensary law, are now sold by the state. The application was rejected by the com- missioner of patents on the ground that the state has no authorized trade in liquors outside of its limits, is not the owner tf any trade mark, and has not at this\ume the right to the use of the trade mark sought to be registered. John A. Johnson and James E. Smith appeared for the state and John I. Hall and Levin H. Campbell for the commissioner of patents. pancaseP seit, Virginia Barred Agai To the Editor of The Evening Star: In one of your recent issues it was stated that if the decision of the courts of the District of Columbia was adverse to En man et al., the proprietors of the Ivy City race track, they would move in Virginia and secure the Gentlemen’s Driving As- sociation in Alexandria county. It is true that there is no Virginia law prohfbliting horse racing in its general form, but there is a sweeping statute against betting or the selling of books or pools on the result of any trotting or running race of horses in Virginia. The legislature of that state passed an act February 25, 1893,» which says: (1). “Be it enacted by the general assem- bly of Virginia that it shall be unlawful for any person or persons or associations of persons to make, write or sell books, pools or mutuals on the result of any trot- ting race or running race of horses, or race of any kind, or any base ball match, or any election, or contest of any kind, or to es- tablish, keep, lease, rent or use, or know- ingly suffer to be used or occupied, any house, building or portion of a building, vessel or place on land or water for the purpose of making, writing or selling there- in any book, or pool, or mutual, or of other- wise betting or gambling, or of permitting gambling or betting therein or thereon, upon the result of any trotting race, or running race of horses, or race of any kind, or any base ball match, or any election or contest of any kind. (2). “That any person or associations cf persons violating the provisions of this act shall be fined not less than $200 nor more than $500, one-fourth of which shall be paid to the informer, and be imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days.” In my humble judgment, Engeman end his associates will have to go elsewhere besides Virginia if the decisions are against him in the District of Columbia. LOUIS A. CUVILLIER. > Smugegied Marringes. From the Lewiston Evening Journal. Smuggled marriages are the newest things on Maine’s eastern border. It appears there is a queer situation in New Bruns- wick since the recent death of the lieuten- ant governor. Certificates issued by the government of the province are necessary for a valid marriage, and all these blanks in the hands of the municipal clerk are countersigned by the dead man, and law- yers say they are not legal.

THE SPANISH ANARCHISTS. Another Arrest One Involved in t! Barcelona Theater Explosion. A Spaniard, formerly a journalist, who is believed to have been involved in the Ly- ceum Theater outrage in Barcelona, was arrested at Montpelier, France, yesterday. Four fresh arrests were made last night in Lyons. The anarchists Fogas, Codina, Ripoli, Cerezuela, Bernard, Salvat, Archs, Fon- tanals, Carbonell and Fruitos have been handed over to a military judge by the magistrate who has been conducting the examination into the Lyceum Theater ex- plosion. The transfer of the prisoners is due to a demand made by the military authorities who are conducting the inquiry into the recent attempt at Barcelona upon the life of Gen. Martinez De Campos on the ground that the anarchists above named were accomplices of Pallas, the man who was shot for throwing the bomb at Gen. De The anarchists, who, under strong escort, were secretiy handed over to the military authorities, were greatly surprised and alarmed when they learned that instead of being tried by the civil courts they would have to stand trial by @ court-martial. Hitherto they have believed that a long term of penal servitude would be the worst punishment meted out to them, but now they fear what is extremely probable, that they. will be condemned to be shot. The residents of the city are certain now that strict military justice will be expeditiously meted out to these men, who have in their crimes when they thought the civil authorities would ceal with them. It is the general belief that the prisoners, some of whom have confessed that they singly were responsible for crimes which it is almost certain they did not commit, the confessions having undoubtedly been made for the purpose of confusing the au- thorities and delaying their trials, will now deny the truth of their confessions and seek by every means in their power to show that they had nothing to do with the crimes with which they are charged. |. Much satisfaction is expressed at action of the military authorities in de- ; Manding the prisoners, and equal satisfac- tion is expressed that the civil authori- tles so readily gave them up. As is said by many persons, they will now get more justice than la ene Rev. Duncan MacGregor vorce. Suit was brought in court at Philadelphia yesterday by Rev. Duncan MacGregor ageinst his wife for divorce on the charge of desertion. Mr. MacGregor attained con- siderable notoriety some time ago by charges that were brought against him of conduct unbecoming a minister with one of the young women of his congregation. The Centennial Baptist Church, of which Mac- Grego> was the pastor, split into two fac- tions, one faction upholding MacGregor and the other ppposing. him. At a meeting of the Philadelphia Baptist Association Mac- Gregor was tried upon the charges against him and expelled from the Baptist ministry. Immediately after the charges were brought against him by his wife, Hettie L. Mac- Gregor, who left him and went to live with her parents in New York. Ma "s suit against his wife is the outcome of her desertion of him. ———+e+-____ The New Treaty With © A San Francisco dispatch sent last night says: The work of registration is progress- ing very slowly, and chances are that noth- ing will be done until the Chinese consul arrives from Washington next Friday. The terms of the new treaty between the United States and China have been agreed upon, and Chinese in San Francisco think that it may do away with the necessity of register- ing at all. They expect their consul to tell them. es for Di- oo Cookt Matches. From the New York Times. Over in London they have annual cook- ing exnibitions, at which the chief fun seems to be the cooking matches. These are carried on simultaneously in different inclosures. A military competition prepar- ed thirty pounds of beef, thirty pounds of botatoes and seventy-five pints of tea and coffee for an imaginary company of sol- diers in less than two hours. In the very next room a number of young women were cooking against time, and in the presence of a large number of spectators they found it difficult to preserve the cool, unruffed demeanor necessary to the successful cook. One participant chopped her finger instead of a mushroom, forcing her retirement, and another made rice cakes out of barley, which also proved disastrous; a third un- fortunate girl got nearer the goal than either, for she actually drew from the oven a big apple pudding which should have been a prize winner, from the perfection of its appearance and the goodness of its smell, but which, alas, in the trembling hands of its nervous author, never reached the table to be judged.

Steaming at eight knots, she would consume thirty tons of coal a day. This would enable her to go nine days without coaling, during which time she would travel about 1,400 knots. St. Thomas is about 1,420 miles from New York and is likely to be the Mianto- nomoh’s first stopping place, especially as the government has coal there. in case of nigh winds or unfavorable weather, the ves- sel might select some more northern port than st. Thomas. Easy Stages. The trip from St. Thomas to Rio, in case it is devided to send the monitor there, can be made by easy stages, stops being nec- essary only to coal ship and obtain fresh | provisions for the officers and crew. From St. Thomas the ship will likely go to St. Lucia, a distance of 40 miles, From that port the course would be laid to Para, 1,500 miles off. From Para fair weather will probably be encountered, and the run to the next harbor, Pernambuco, should be made under favorebie conditions. Rio is only 1,090 miles south of Pernambuco. This is the course which naval officials expect Capt. Wallace to take. The total lengtn is 5,510 miles. Steaming at the rate of eight knots an hour, the Miantonomoh should cover it in about thirty-tive days, including ewp- pages for coal. Capt. Wallace's orders direct him to re- port his arrival to the Navy Department at every port which he touches. This precau- tion is taken not through any doubt of the ability of the vessel to complete the cruisc, but in order that the ship's commander may be in frequent communication with the naval authorities, and receive such mod- ified instructions as the turn in Braziiian affairs may make necessary. In a senr2, the monitor's cruise is an experiment, but Secretary Herbert has the opinion of ex- perts that it is a perfectly feasible one. The only defect which she has been found to have is in her steering qualities. This has been remedied by widening her rudder according to reports received at the vy Department from her commander, “she now steers like a pilot boat.” Her Sea Qualities. Although designed primarily for harbor defense, the monitor is thoroughly sea- worthy, and has already demonstrated her stanchness and stability at sea under try- ing conditions of wind and tide. According to an experienced officer of the navy, the Miantonomoh will weather a storm and ride out a gale as well as any other vessel of the new navy, and the only objectiva to her as a sea boat is that she cannot cerry coal enough for a long, unbroken cruise. oo Quite Right. From the Indianapolis Sentinel. A funny incident, accompanied by a witty retort, was enjoyed the other day as the crowd was surging out of one of the thea- ters. In front of a party of gentlemen was a man with his coat collar turned up about | his ears. “Why, there is B—,” said one of the party. “He doesn’t seem to see us; I guess i'll wake him up.” At the same time, and without stopping to think, he stepped forward and hit the bundled-up in- dividual a terrific slap on the back. The man turned around as he received the blow and disclosed to the astonished eyes of the hilarious gentleman the face of a total stranger. He hesitated a moment before the calm and inquiring gaze of the man in front, and then, stepping forward, said: “I beg your pardon, sir, but to tell the truth, I took you for anothe> man.” “I am,” was the quiet reply.
