Brewer’s Son Agrees with Them and ‘Telle of Outrages Perpetrated on “Property of Householders Who Refused to Be “Guarded.” Police Capt. Wiegand, of the West ‘One Hundred and Twonty-fifth street Station, has his precinct doteatives work- ng on a well-defined clue in connection swith the finding of a bomb on the stoop of milifonaire brewer Peter Doelger's {home at One Hundredth street and Riverside Drive. He thinks an arrest {will be made to-day, but he does not expect to charge the prisoner with any- thing more than malicious mischief. The police theory is that the two persons who were seen to place the bomb on the steps of the Dvelger residence had another motive than to destroy property. A-detective agency has been |: canvassing. residents In the vidinity for some time offering them the serv- ice of private watchmen. Mr. Doelger failed to subscribe. The bomb may have been intended to arouse him to a Bense of his need of protection. Any- jhow, tho police, who do not love private ‘watchmen overmuch, think that way, Young Peter Doelger shares their sus- pictons. Hho said to-day: “Possibly the rivalry between private watchmen has instigated this alloged weare., Door plates have been pulled off, door au wrenched, fish ofl poured over brown-stone steps and a bullet, @m told, was fired through the window of the Rev. Dr. Shaw's residence Jate OPC, gat. All these thing occurred in Bure" avenue, near my fathers pt. Wiegand. of the West One Hun- @redth street station, early to-day sald: ‘Just as soon-as my detectives can run down the well-dressed stranger in eitizens clothes wio notifled Roundsman Ralrea that two men were In the vicinity of the Doelger house, then we will be on the track of the miscreant. I am cer- tain that the whole thing was a hoax @nd that this man was either the person PBo put te bomb on the steps or ne was league with those who did place it Shere, Night watchmen have een ques- joned a ey profess to know noth- fog of tho afta? a WATCHMAN BOYD TELLS OF A BITTER ENMITY. " “After what I have gone through ‘within the last six years as a watchman @long the Riverside Drive I am not sur- prised that my name should have been mentioned in connection with the pro- tection of the handsome residences in that locality,” declared Private Watch- man James Boyd when seen early to- day at his home, No. 349 West Twenty- ninth street, by an Evening World re- porter. “Why, the residence of Brewer Peter Doelger ts in the district watched bv my bitterest enemy on this earth— @ man who has hounded me for three years.” Watchman Boyd is a picturesque per- ®onago known in the upper west sido as “Capt. Chapman” because of his lux- wriant growth of side whiskers. He has hhad a somewhat tempestuous career as @ private watchman, indloated by his own story and verified by the records of ‘one police station and two Magistrates’ courts, “I ave never known the millionaire brewer,’ continued Watchman Boyd, nd then reading from the notes of a carefully kept diary, “but I do know some of the persons witn whom he has done and ts doing business. Nearly every offense that has been committed on the river front within the last fow ears has been charged against me, and jt seems natural that the private watch- man should come in for a share of the blame. Everywhere I went on my ‘wounds last night I heard of reports mepich have been circulated. Here is my ry: in Business for Himself. “Until April, 1399, I was a private watchman empoyed by a company which makos a business of guaming fine homes. I worked for the company for two years, going to them from the Bteamship service, where I had served tewatd on the St. Louis and the St Not being able to get a raise of salary from the watchman company, I Geolded to strike out for myself in the bamo line, ‘ “Because of my pleasing personality,” here the captain stroked his whiskers, “I gainaged to establish a small route pt my own, taking some forty odd houges to watoh away from my former employer. R. J. Ryan was given my old post, and it naturally followed that ‘our beats overlapped, On the night of 19 we had a fight, and I was badly beaten. I had Ryan arrested, but Mag- Jstrate Brann relcased him, I was un- le to produce witnesses, as the assault place in a lonely ‘spot near the home of Richard Mansfield, the antor. “The next move was made by the other side.

Says Mrs. Leslie Carte Ly Friend of French Literature Has a Sad Time, but Insists on Continuing His Literary Talks to American Women. Comte Robert de Montesquiou-Fezensac, when an Evening World re- porter called to eee him this morning in his new quarters at the Westmin- ster Hotel, was eating cracked ice from an amber bowl beautifully hideous with green and purple dragons, with a pair of gold and jewelled tweezers, while ono of his barbers did up his hair, the other massaged out his wrin- kles, Alphonse, the valet, did a thousand and one subtle little things to ondiicé to his comfort, and M. Gabriel Yturri, the dear friend, read iim ane of his own poems on the heroism of flowers. The missionary of true literature had ’em last night. “Oh, Mon Dieu! Oh, Ma Fol! rapturous hour!” quoth M. Gabriel, Then he explained that it all came about in this way: COMTE ATE FOUR WHOLE REAL OYSTERS. The Comte ate four whole oysters last evening that were not poctically flavored. The result was that there was a dissonance where there ts usu- ally harmony in the delicate organs—vulgarly called the stomach—bringing on a confusion of dreams in which he talked, or we should say conferred, on the beautiful symbols of ugliness and other things. First Alphonse was awakened by a groan in a painful crescendo and ending in a plaintive diminuendo, running a gamut of delightlfully inter-| | woven sighs, but nevertheless a groan. Alphonse lonped out of bed and rushed for the hot-water bottle trunk. Then he suddenly forgot what color pajamas the Comte had gone to rest in and, not daring to take any water bag of a shade off the chromatic hue of ‘his master’s slumber robes, he awakened M. Gabriel. When the dear friend was told of the gros he immediately resorted to his smelling salts, and upon recovering his composure informed the valet real sharply that the pajamas were pale azure, Filling the bottle with hot eau de violet they tiptoed into the presence, both shuddering at the thought that he might have a pain. What was their delight to hear soft and liquid words issuing from the lips of the sleeping one, each word a true symbol of the real genius of the man. Standing in the frosty light that sifted into the Comte's window from Sixteenth street the two pajama-clad ones listened for a breathless second. . Then the dear friend suddenly had an {dea and whispered to the valet to send for the secretary and his notebook in order that the jewels that fell from the most elegant of Frenchmen might not be lost. A few minutes later the secretary pattered in and this is a transcript of what he took down: BABOONS, BATS AND A LIZARD. “Ah, the agony, the joy of being great. Oh, the rapture of knowing only * TI the aesthete. And to dwell upon my grand benevolence to the world in al- lowing myself in my elegance and greatness to be seen and heard’’—the Comte murmured and said something about wishing he had made his lec- ture or conference charges $10 instead of $5 a throw, as he feared he had cheapened himself before the world. love—of my baboon, of my bats, of my little lizard with the delightfully ugly horns—of all these things that only true genius can symbolize. “Ah! I did not tell Gabriel, but to-day I saw the most wonderfully ugly dog, all amber colored, and with such an artistic tall. I asked a rude laborer the pecullar breed of the dog, and he answered: ‘Mut.’ Ah! Gabriel, and I must buy a ‘mut’ before we return to our dear friends in Paris who miss us so much. We will study the originality of his ugliness, the delight- fully aesthetic tail, so short, so stubby, yet, withal, so surpassingly rare in contrast with the long body. Gabriel and I will write a'madrigal, or maybe a lyric, or possibly an ode on the ‘mut,’ and I will give a conference to my dear friends in Paris and charge them only fifty francs for admission. “Ah! these American women, are they not wonderful in their bigness and beauty? .1 really feel like a delicate flower before some of the fair ones, One of them stepped on my toe to-day and a soul-firlng pain shot through me. If Gatriel only could have felt that pain. And when I bowed a humble apology to her for placing my so clumsy foot in her way she eaid something to me in the richest nasal tone. What was that she sald? Oh, yes: ‘What ez eating you?’ How delightfully original. How suggestive of my !mmacu- lateness. That she should think of me as some toothsome morsel or sweet and savory bonbon! SEES NO POETRY IN OUR MEN. “But the men. Parblea! they hurry so and sometimes stare at you eo rudely. I really think there {s lttle poetry in them. They seem to have common-place thoughts, I really think that they are always thinking of money. J must tell Gabriei about that, he will be so surprised. I am glad that I am not going to give conferences to these men, for I honestly think that they might be quite vulgar and haggle like a truckster about the price, as if our souls were not as far above money as the kingdom of flowers and birds is above the sphere cf labor and rude toil. “What is this terrible thought that comes rushing through my brain? It canmot be truce. It is not. It must be whet is called the mare of the night. But, oh, mon Dieu, it seems so crushingly true. Did you, oh did you, ; | unnoticed, Alphonse, give me my purple gloves when I had on my ecru yellow shoes’ “No, no, ‘tis false!” shouted M. Yturri, rushing to his dear friend's bed- side, THE TRAGEDY OF A NIGHTMARE. “No, no,” wailed Alphonse in the voice of a tortured martyr, hopping gracefully forward ard proffering the hot-water bag. “No, no,” echoed the secretary, shuddering. “No, no,” chorused the two barbers, rushing in with towels, soap and perfumes, Ci 4 iv} Here the secretary ended his notes, the last few words being blotted out with the tears of sympathy for his master he let fall upon the page.
