THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: EUROPE PONDERS ANARCHY Buffale Tragedy Con Guardi ta Desp Loz to of Royalty. HOW THE RULERS REGARD THE MATTER Greater Precantions Taken b of R & Houwes—Little eration Among the Nations Agninat Anarchists, PARIS, Oct. 20.—~Now that the first sen- sation of horror and “rcare’ caused uni- versally by the McKinley has becomes possibl able effects of the sassination of President I time to calm down it to estimate the prob- crime upon the tactics of the secret pollce devoted to the pro tection of chiefs of state. The writer | bappened to meet the Paris chief of po- lice on the very day of the president's death. M. Cochefert declined to enter into any discussion of the great toplc of the boulevards. It is awful, awful,” he said. “It will make changes, no doubt, in our Europeau systems. Wo shall have to talk of new measures, but I can not tell what these be."” When M. Cochefert is willing you should have some information, but does not wish 1o give it to you himself, he turns you aver to an irresponsible, but well informed Heutenant, from whose talk you may un- sMcially learn many interesting things That ts just what hippened to me. 1 pro- pose simply to put down a few things which the subordinate officer told me are wmong the immediate probabilities result- ing from the Buffalo crime. One word to comm bas moved the European police far more then o Buropean crime would ever have dono. And this for two main reasons. “You soe,” sald M. Dupont (that is not, [ hardly need say, the ofisial's real name) “you see one might almost say that it is the natural thing for a Buropean executive to bo assassinated. It is probable that there 1« gcarcely & day on which one or another of them is not in danger of death by the bomb or the knife or the revolver. It is in their contract, as it were. But the slaying of a president of the United States takes us out of the ordinary run and shows us that we are face to face with a world-wide upheaval of the undercurrents, not against particular acts of tyrapny or against people who represent the old feudal idea of monarchy, but agalost the very idea of goverpment in itself. The United Stated system is recognized as the ne plus ultra v of liberty and of equal chances for all. It immeasurably surpasses the liberty and equality of France itself. We bave Do officlal ‘shake hands' here and President Loubet is just as inaccessible to tho people as a Hohenzollern or a Hapsburg. The militant anarchist idea is shown up in all its horrors when a president of the classic land of liberty and democracy is not safe. Czolgosz gives us & scare that Brescl and Lucheni could not inspire.” Effect of the Scare And, as I learned from my informant Ahis “scare” (“frisson” is the expressive French word used) made itself particu- larly felt and will have particular and very direct results in the Immediate en- tourage of the president. Mme. Loubet, though . personally a very courageous woman, 1s too deeply attached te the presi- dont not to have been exceptionally moved by this practical lesson in the dangers that menace even democratic executly When the'news from Buffalo reached her ut breakfast time she became violently agitated, refused to eat and clung piteously to her husband all day long, unwilling to let him out of her sight. A shooting expe- dition had been planned for the forest of Rambouillet, but the guns were left un- touched and the visitors invited from the nelghboring chateaux were dismissed with excuses. It was directly In accordance with Mme, Loubet's wishes that the extraordi- nary precautlons taken at Dunkirk and Complegne during the eczar's visit were set on foot. Neither the emperor nor the president approved entirely of the rigld measures adopted to prevent the enthusi- watic public from getting within eyeshot of the beroes of the day, But Mme. Loubet managed to work both on M. Crozier, chief of the protocol, and on M. Waldeck-Rout #eau, ‘the premier, to carry out her wishe La presidente” has determined that as far as she can help it the ‘bon pere Loubet” shall not run any risks. Since the shooting at Buffalo the Elysee private police force has been more than twice doubled. If the president goes out shoot- ing at Ramboulllet at least half of the “/party” §s made up of secret service police, who load and fill lixe the rest of the hunt- ers, but the game for which they are watching, keen-eyed, is the kind that perches in a tree witd a ready gun, hoping for & shot at the head of the state. Precautions in He » My informant gave me some curious de- talls about the devices that have recently been introduced in Berlin to safeguard the kaiser in view of the recrudescence of am- archistic attempts. Wilhelm, true to his genius for dabbling a little In every trade, has elaborated in his own imperial brain- box a whole series of precautions. He con- ceived one day the not unplausible idea that of all would-be assassing a regicidally disposed soldier would have the best chance of gratifying his taste for roval blood. So the kaiser has planned to imtroduce shortly & trained secret service man into every ‘vattalion of the imperial troops. It will e with. This crime | his duty to be in bar keep habits on the alert bt ke and in the fleld. in the one ¢ tabs on the mens conversations Meas, reading and assoclaies, and immediately reporting any suspiclous char- acter. [n the field he will serve as an or- divary secret policeman, watehing for the leveling of a rifle at the royal person These woldier-police will be recrulted from the younger members of the kaiser's sworn detective badyguard, which is the mest arefully organized agency of personal pro- tection that any soverelgn has at his heels The new measure is rendered all the tnore Jjudicious in Germany by the fact that the tigorous discipline of the army has roused & spirit of rebellion and has already led to several cases of the murder of officers by thelr men. The present czar. though popularly sup- posed to be the most comstantly menaced | of monarchs, is perhaps one of the most in- different to the precautivnary —measuror taken in his interest. His etiraording personal carelessness ia due to an absolute | conviction that he is foredoomed and to a | quasi-oriental fatallsm, which leads to the peace-bringing feeling that no steps he can devise can turn aside the murderous arm. He goes his way, grave under the shadow of the coming death, but without finching from what he regards as the inevitable. He knows, of course, that the authorities of his court surround him with an elaborats system of police protection. He does not protest; it is their business. but he does not interest himself in the matter at all. The only notice ha takes of the officials de- tailed to look after him consists in keeping them aw far from his eves as possible. He tries to forget. There is trouble in store for the indiscreet official who “fusses’” im the imperial presence. That fs the onlv | exception to be made to the statement that | the czar is absolutely the gentlest soul that now sits on a throne. It has been said that he is gravely courteous to everybody excent (o those whose mission it is to protect his life at the constant risk of thelr own. An anarchist with his pocket full of bombs would apparently be greeted with more kindmess by Nicholas than a secret wervice agent leaping roughly to the rescue, King Edward's Careleasness. Another monarch who does not seem (o care fs King Edward of England. His easy- golng way of loafiing around Homburg, drinking water at the Spas like any gouty every-day citizen shocked his entourage. The waters may cure his liver, but nothing apparently will ever cure his calm assur- ance that nobody will ever want to do him harm. In his case it s not the fatalism of Nicholas that produces this happy condi tion; it is sheer content with himself and with the wcrld, leading him to laugh at the very Idea of danger. Queen Alexandria is 1 to share the king's perfect peace of mind in this respect. As far as the an- archist trouble is concerned they are as un- disturbed as any suburbanite could be among his rose trees. It Is given as a fact that on most days the king and queen of England go about without even being tracked by one or two secret service men, such as the least of the little German crowned heads has in his train. ““They are probably as safe as any of the others, all the same,” sald my police officer friend. “Everything that can be done has been proved useless, time and again. And perhaps the best thing Is to take just ordi- nary precautions and leave the rest to fate. That way, at least, you avold exciting the vanity of these light-headed, bloody-minded criminals; and that is a chance in your favor. King Bdward secures his peace that way. The Czar, on other principles, arrives at the same plan, and the same result. The kaiser would never get there. It all de- pends upon a man's personal temperament.” However the occupants of the seats of the mighty may regard the matter, there Is no doubt that the success of Czolgosz's attack has increased the peril of every po- tentate in Europe. The theory on which the police proceed is that ome successtul attempt on an executive's life makes cer- tain many similar attempts which other- wise would not have been thought of. “We know by our study of the type of ‘militant a hist,’ " sald my informant, “‘that he is al of the order of ‘hyster- fcal decadent.’ When a ‘companion’ has succeeded in killing, and evervone talks nothing but the crime, then our friend gets carried away. He becomes what we call ‘exalte.’ He sees red and Is dangerous. That is an added reason why we are cs- peclally determined to take extraordinary measures of prevention as a result of the Buffalo assassination. We want to break the electric current that this epoch-making anarchist crime tends to set up.” Little Ca-operat Unfortunately for Europe there is little international co-operation against anarchy. Europe complaing, and with reason, of the lack of interest shown by the United States in tracking suspected anarchists. England shows much the same spirit of indifference. Germany and Russia contribute information to each other's archives, it is true, but neither Germany mor, curiously enoug Russia shows any desire of cordial co-oper: tion with France. In Italy, though it is the country where the study of crime and crimi- nals has been pushed to the furthest point of scientific exactitude, the police system remains hopelessly behind the times. That Is perhaps why Italy has so far contributed the greatest number of “martyrs” to the roll of the king killers. As an instance of Italy's attitude, the case of the two notori- ous globe-trotting anarchists, the Prince and Princess Nakachidze, is luminous. They were recently arrested in Rome on the tech- nical charge of being found on Itallan soil, from which they had been solemnly expelled as dangerous conspirators. They had pre- viously, in 1886, been éxpeiled from France for the fabrication of bombs. In 1887 the prince had been sentenced to death In Rus- sia for conspiring. with an indiscriminate assortment of nihilists and anarchists, to Kill the czar. He had had the rare luck to l'fiarilla # Help them to help them- ; J selves. ¥ What Jr better deed?

A Merchant’s Sage Advice MONDAY NOVEMBER 4 1901 | .Pointed Remarks by t Head of the House. Jchn Grabami, a self-made merchant of Chicago and a .scker of considerable repute, deals in sage advice as well as me: producis. He ie, iu fact, a mythical person, presented as a (ype of Western pProgress, | but his letters, published in the Saturday Evening Post, are ag meaty as his wares Like all sbrewd packers of Chicago, he has followed the star of cmpire and opened a branch in Omaha, which he himself man- ages, and from that center of industry and vim sends & letter (o his afiectionate son Plerrepont, doing duty at the parent house in Chicago. The letier reads OMAHA, Sept. 1, 180 ~Dear Pierrepont Yours of the 0th ultimo strikes me ali wrong. 1 don’t like to hear ‘you say that you can’t work under Milligan or any other man, for it shows a fundamental weakness Aud then, t0o, the house isn't interested in knowing how you Itke your bose, but in how he likes you. 1 understand all about Milligan. He is 1 croes, cranky old Irishman with a temper tied up in & bow-knot, who prods his men with the bull-stick six days a week and #chemes to get them salary raises on the seventh, when he ought to be listening to the sermon; who puts the blacksnake on a clerk’s hide when he sends a letter to Osh kosh that ought to go to Kalamazoo, and begs him off when the old man wants to have him fired for it. Altogether he's a bard, rabbed, generous, soft-hearted, loyal, bully old boy, whe's been with the house since we took down the shutters for the first time and who's going to stay with it till we put them up for the last time. But, all that apart, you want to get it firmly fixed in your mind that you're golng to have a Milligan over you all your life, and if it isn’'t a Milligan it will be a Jones or a Smith, and the chances are that you'll find them both harder to get along with than this old fellow. And if it isn't Milli- gan or Jones or Smith, and you ain't a butcher, but a parson or a doctor, or even the president of the United States, it'll be a Devonlan strata deacon, or the undertaker, or the yellow journals. There fsn't any such thing as being your own boss in this world unless you're a tramp, and then there's the constable, Like the old man if you can, but him no cause to dlslike you. Keep your self-respect at any cost, and your upper lp stiff at the same figure. Criticism can properly come only from above, and when- ever you discover that your boss is no good you may rest easy that the man who pays his salary shares your secret. Learn to give back a bit from the base burmer, to let the village fathers get their feet on the fender and the kawdust box in range, and you'll find them making a little room for you in turn. Old men have tender feet, and apologies are poor salve for aching corns. Remember that when you're in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and that when you're in the wromg you can't afford to loxe it. ‘When you've got an uncertain cow it's all 0. K. to tle a figure eight in her tall it you ain't thirsty, and It's excitement you're after; but if you want peace and her nine quarts, you will paturally approach her from the side, and say, So-boss in about the same tone that you would use if you give were asking your best girl to let you hold her band Of course you want 1o be sure of your natural history facts, and learn to distin guish between a cow that's a kicker, but whose Intentions are good if she's ap proached with proper respect, and a hooker who is vicious on general principles, and any way you come at her. There's ne any use fooling with an animal of that sort brute or human. The only safe place is the other side of the fence or the top of th nearest (ree When 1 was clerking in Missouri a fellow named Jeft Hankins moved down from Wis consin and bought a little clearing just out side the town. Jeff was a good talker bu w bad listener, and so we learned a heap about how things were done in Wisconsin, but he didn't pick up much information about (he habits of our Missouri fauna When it came to cows he had had a liberal education and he made out all right, but by and by it got on to plowing time and Jeft naturally bought a mule—a little moth eaten cuss with sad, dreamy eyes and droopy, wiggly-woggly ears that swung In a circle as easy as if they ran on ball- bearigs. Her owner didn't give her a very good character. telling how mveh but Jeft was too busy he kpew about horses to pay much attention to what anybody was saying about mules. So finally the seller turned her loose in Jeff's lot, told him he wouldn't have any trouble catching her it he approached her right, and hurried off out of range. Next morning at aunup Jeff picked out a and started off whistling *“'Buffalo he was & powerful pretty whistler and could do the “Mocking Bird"" with var- iations—to catch the mulc and begin his plowing. The animal was feeding as peace- ful as a water-color picture, and she didn’t budge; but when Jeff began to get nearer her ears dropped back along her neck as it they had lead in them He knew that symptom, and so he closed up kind of cau- tlous, aiming for her at right angles and gurgliog, “Muley, muley, here muley; that's a good muley,” sort of soothing and caress ing-like. St sho didn’t stir und Jeff got right up to her and put one arm over her back and began to reach forward with the bridle, when something happen He never could explaln just what it . but we judged from the marks on his person that the mule had reached forward and Kkicked the seat of his trousers with one of her prehensile hind feet, and had reached back and caught him on the last button of his waistcoat with ono of her limber fore feet, and had twisted around her elastic neck and bit off a mouthful of his hair. When Jeff regalned consciousness he reck- oned that the only really safe way to ap- proach & mule was to drop on It from a balloon. 1 simply mention this little incident as an example of the fact that there ure certain animals with which the Lord didn’t intend white men to fool. And vou will find that as a rule, the human varieties of them are not the fellows who go for you rough-shod, lke Milligan, when you're wrong. It when you come across one of those gentle- men who have more ofl in their composition than any two-legged animal has a right to have, that you should be on the lookout for concealed deadly weapons. 1 don't mean that you should distrust a nan who is affable and approachable, but you want to learn to distinguish between him and one who is too affable and tos ap- proachable. The adverb makes the differ- ence between a good and a bad fellow. The bunco men aren’t all at the county fair, and they don't all operate with the little shells and the elusive pea. When a packer has learned all that there is to learn about quadrupeds, he knows only one-eighth of his business; the other scven-eighths, and the important seven-eighths the study of bipeds. I dwell on this because I am a little dis appointed that you should have made such a mistake in sizing up Milligan. He fsn't the brightest man in the office, but he is loyal to me and to the house, and when you have been in business as long as 1 have you will be inclined to put a pretty high value on loyalty It is the one commodity that hasn't any market value and it's the one that you can't pay too much for. You can trust any number of men with your money, but mighty few with your reputation. Half the men who are with the house on pay day are against it the other siy A good many young fellows has to do with come to me looking for jobs and start in by tellng me what a mean house they have been working for; what a cuss to get along with the senfor partner was, and how little show a bright, progressive clerk had with him. | never get very far with a critter of that class, becauge I know that he wouldn't like me or the house if be came to work for ys. 1 don’t know anything that a young busi- ness man ought to keep more entirely to himselt than his dislikes, unless it be his lkes. It's generally expensive to have efther, but it's bankruptcy to tell about them. It's all right to say nothing about the dead but good, but it's better to apply the rule to the living, and especially to the house which is paying vour salary. Just one word before I close, as old Doe Hoover used to say, when he was coming into the stretch, but still a good ways off from the benediction. 1 have noticed that you are lnclined to he a little che and starchy around the office. Of course, it's g00d buainess, when a fellow hasn't much behind his forehead, to throw out his_chest nd attract attention to his shirt-front. But # you begin to meet the men who have don something that makes them worth meeting you will find that there are no “keep off the grass’" or “boware of the dog” signs around their premises, and that they don't motion to the orchestra to play slow mugic while they talk. , Superfority makes every man feel its equal. It ix courtesy without condescen slon; affability without familiarity; self-suf ficlency without selfishness; simplicity without snide. It weighs sixteen ounces to the pound without the package, and it doesn't need a four-colored label to make it 80. We are coming home from here. 1 am a little disappointed in the showing that this house has been making. Pound for pound it Is mot getting nearly so much out of its hogs as we are in Chicago. 1 don't know just where the leak is, but if they don't do better next month 1 am coming back here with a shotgun, and there's going to be u pretty heavy mortality among our head men.

Passing of the Real Dooley | One of Chicago's 0dd Characters. - James MecGarry, the original of Finley P. as he covered the top of the punch with ths reading the sporting news. Iu came Mr. Dunn “Mr. Dooley,” the rchey Road powder of nuimeg. Jobn McKenna. Philesopher,” died in Chicago last Tuesday ““‘I have not,’ replied Mr, McKenna, “Good evening, Martin,” he said at an advanced age. McGarry was for- merely a saloon keeper, running a boozery trequented by newspapermen and other prominent people. They came in pairs, groups or alone to the high basement saloon of “Dooley” on Dearborn street, near Mad- ison. They were as apt to drop in for an eye-opener as for a night cap. Mr. Mc- QGarry’'s quaint philosophy passed among them, and while enjoyed, never suggested publicity until Mr. Dunne wrote his first story of “Colonel McNeery's'” whirl on the Ferris wheel. It appeared in the Sunday Post. No one who knew him had difficulty in recognizing that ‘‘Colonel McNeery” wai Jim McGarry, and that Mr. McKenna, his friend, was John McKenna, famed in po- litical circles. 1 kill you, Dunne,” sald McGarry when the town began to laugh over his wit, “it you write me up again, and I'll kill you it you don't. Dupne laughed and kept on with the storles, which appeared once every week. McGarry was too rich a fleld to be neg- lectod. He was the kind of a whole-souled public character that could tell this story on himwelf: “I vas tendin' bar one day whin a tramp e n an’ he says, says he: '€ Jve me a drink.’ et the bottle before him an' he poured 4 (ass full, clare to the top. Says I: “Mat will cost you 50 cent: “he made no reply.

" The introduction of “‘Jim" McGarry as “Colonel McNeery” to the public in this wise: ‘““Well, sir,’ sald Colonel McNeery, mix- ing a milk punch out of ‘Every Man Hie Own Barkecper,' ‘Iv all th’ wonderful things that the aye iv th' Lord looks down upon that there Farris wheel's the wonderfulles! “Mr. McKenna did not look up from the floor. Ever since Derby day Mr. McKenna had been distraught. He was much given o sit'ing alone, studying the pattern of the carpet in the back room and from time (o time drawing small pasteboard cards from his pockets and glaring at them savagely. ‘Have ye been in it?' the colonel asked, gloomily. ‘“‘Iv course: I forgot,' sald the colonel. ‘Ye've been intint on studyin' th' wheel in ye're own nut since that Da-arby day iv yours, Jawnny, an' 'tis me opinion ye're plump daffy, me lad.

Be that's it may, Jawn, 'tis nayther here mnor there with what a stharted out for to say that th' Farris wheel's a murracle. I'm no Methodist, but 1 swear 'tis as big's th’ Joynt's Omuseway; God forgive me f'r eayln’ it " Chicago laughed heartily over ‘Mo- Neery's” experience on the Ferris wheel with his friend, O'Connor, and then promptly adjourned to “Jim" McGarry's resort and chaffed him on his experiences. He took it good naturedly at first, but when the second story made him present at the World's fair literary cougress, and a third mixed bim up with Dr. Tanner, and a fourth described his experience with train robbers in Arkansas, the situation grew too intense for him. He protested long aud loud against being given such notoriety. Mr. Dunne paid no attention to him, but finally McGarry went higher. He said he would appeal to all the laws in the land and do violence it he was not cut out of Mr. Dunne's fun. He was therefore dismissed trom public view In the Sunday article en- titled, “Colonel McNeery's Away." It de- scribed his absence in Ireland, and was written by Mr. Dunne to furnish an excuse for permanently retiring ‘“Jim" McGarry from the pre Mr, Dunne was much chagrined over losing McGarry and vowed he would write no more sketches but he was told that any other name would do as well, and that bhe did himself an injustice in quitting abruptly Irish sketches that were already delighting the entire reading sublie, There came then the following Sunday these lines: “Business was dull in the liquor shop of Mr. Martin Dooley In Archey road last Wednesday night, and Mr. Dooley was sit- ting back in the rear of his shop holding a newspaper at arm's length before bim and “Hello, Jawnny," replied Mr. it they Dooley, as had parted only the evening before “How's thricks? I don’t mind, Jawnny, if I do. 'Tis duller here than a ray-publican primary in th' Fourth wa-ard, th' night." That introduced Mr, Dooley, and was the first of the papers bearing his name. He has appeared in many others since that time. But it was originally to “Jim" Me- Garry that he owed his fume, “I']l match me faco 'gainst yours, judge," said 'McGarry oue day to his bosom friend, Judge Goggin “When you're together one can't tell ‘em apart,” said Dunne Judge Goggin was quite wroth over this and did not forgive the remark for a long time. Much of what Dooley said was often an actual extract from discussions in Me- Garry's. These were #o interwoven with imaginative bits of matter as to make the two inseparable. ends of McGarry recall the days when “Johany" Dowling gave him a scare for kis life. “Johnny" was “Mike” McDonald's partner and mixed up in a good deal oi bad gambling. He was a nervy fellow, free to, use fist or gun, and had the run of the town, He walked into McGarry's one night, snd without a word smashed a big mirror. “That's not right, Jawnny,” said Me- Garry. “You oughtn't to do that to & triend,"” But “Jawbny” bhad his boots on and pald no aitention to the yemonstrances of Mc- Garry. He left the place without paying for the mirror. Several nights later, after 12 o'clock McGarry was going home on Monroe street, then a lonesome thorough- tare. He came to a dark alleyway and there niét Dowling, whp stopped him. “Met \" #aid he, “I'm going to kil wou." McGarry gasped and mado out s it he id not understand. “McGarry,” persisted Dowling, pulling a large pistol out of his pocket, “you have only five minutes to live.” “Would you have the blood of an fnnocent man on your hands?" “McGarry, prepare to die.” McGarry suffered awful tortures. He thought Dowling was in earnest and he pleaded long and well for his life.

The gentle soul, as long as he keeps out of Italy, France and Russia, may g0 on plotting red murder all his life long; he may even pay trequent visits to Parls, knowing well that the worst that can be done him is fo buy him a single trip ticket to Belgium, Hol- land or Switzerland and politely wish him good-bye.
