Shotwell was returning from Mr. Hay ‘s home through Central Pack. He approached a big auto at Seventy-ninth street and the Weat Drive and as the two machines passed @ man raised his hand and saluted Shotwell. The latter says it was no other than the missing banker. “It was a Winton machine,” said Shotwell. “Mr. Sherwood wore a straw bat low over his eyes, but he certainly did not seem anxious to escape atten- thon, for he saluted me before 1 saw him." Sherwood was greatly interested in @utomobiles and spent much time at Barry & Hayes's after a storage house he owned tad proved a failure. Three autos have been stored at Barry & Hayes's in the name of Mr. Burlin, but it is understood that Sherwood was the ceal owner. They have recent!; ‘been sold.

MAJOR WBRIDE WANTS A DUEL WITH JOKN REDMOND. The Fiery Husband of the Equally In- cendiary Irish ‘J oan of Arc’ Issues a Sweeping Challenge to Avenge a Fancied Insult to Her at the Nation- alist Meeting in Dublin, LONDON, May 23.—Major McBride, or- ganizer of the Irish Transvaal Brigade, in @n open letter from Paris has chal- neged John Redmond, Timothy C. Har- rington and their friends to fight one or more duets in consequence of their at- titude toward Mrs. McBride (formerly Maud Gonne) at the meeting of citizens held in the Dublin Rotunda on Monday night last. The meeting was called in support of the Irish Parliamentary Fund and resulted in scenes of extreme di order, owing to the presence of mem- bers of the Gaellc League who are op- posed to glving King Edward a friend- ly welcome on his coming visit to Ire- land. Major McBride says: “It seems that only the fact that my wife is @ lady pre- vented Redmond and Harrington and their friends from dealing summarily with her. ‘They evidently regret that it was not her husband who was present, “Unfortunately, I cannot go to Ireland at presept, but in the mean time f any of them feels aggrieved at my wife's ac- tlon I shall be most happy to afford them satisfaction In this accommodat- ing country., France." ‘ Major McBride's regrets that he can- not visit Ireland “just now’ are due to the fact that if he did he would stand an excellent chance of being hanged for high tredson. The Major was one of the firat Irishmen in South Africa to jump to arms against the British hat ih, ment when the Boer way started. ‘The brigade led by Col. Blake and in which McBride was major did remarkable ser- vice In the early stages of the war-- notably at Colenso, Dundee and sround the Tugela, which was thrice dyed red with the blood of Gen.
