PARIS, Oct. 20. Now that the first sen
sation of horror nnd "scare" caused uni
versally by the assassination of I'rcnldont
JlcKlnlcy has had time to calm down 11
becomes possible to estimate the prob
able effects of the crime upon the tactics
of tho secret pollco devoted to tho pro
tection of chiefs ot Btatc. The writer
happened to meet tho ParlB chief of po
llco on tho vory dny ot Ibo president's
death. M. Cochofert declined to cntci
into any discussion of the great topic of ,
tho boulevurda.
"it la awful, nwful," he said. "It will I
make changes, no doubt, in uur European
nystcmB. Wo shall bavo to talk ot now
measures, but I con not tell what these
tr.ay bo."
When M. Cochcfert Is willing you should
have nomo Information, but does not wish (
to give it to you himself, he turns you
over to nn Irresponsible, but well lnrormca
lieutenant, from whoso talk you may un
officially learn many interesting things.
That Is lust what happened Uj me. 1 pro
pose Hlmply to put down a few things
which tho subordinate ofllcer told mo nro
among the Immediate probabilities result
ing from tho Uuffalo crime.
One word to commence with. This crlmo
has" moved tho European pollrc far more
than n European crlmo would over havo
done. And this for two main reasons.
"You sec," said M, Dupont (that Is not,
I hardly need say, tho oM;Ii1'h real name)
"you sc ono might almost say that It Is tho
natural thing for a European executive to
bo atisajsiiiatcd. It 1h probahlo that there
Is ecarcoly a day on which ono or another
of them Is not In danger of death by the
bomb or tho knlfo or tho revolver. It Is In
their contract, as It were. But tho slaying
of a president of tho United Statc takes
us out' of tho ordinary run and shows us
that wo aro faco to face with n world-wldo
upheaval of tho, undercurrents, not against
particular acta of tyranny or against
peoplo who roprcsont tho old feudal Idea of
monarchy, but against tho very Idea of
government in Itself. Tho United States
. nystom la recognised as the no plus ultra
of liberty and ol equal cbancca for all. It
immeasurably surpasses tbo liberty and
quality of Franco Itself. Wo bavo no
.official 'shako hands' horo nnd President
Loubct Is Just ns inaccessible to tho pooplo
ua a Hohonzollern or a Hnpsburg. The
mllltrint anarchist Idea is shown up In. all
Its horrors when a president of tho classic
land ot liberty nnd democracy is not safe.
Czolgosz elves us a scare that Urcacl and
Luchcnl could not Inspire."

.And, ns I learned from my Informant,
Vhls "scaro" ("frisson" la tho cxpresslvo
French word used) mado Itself particu
larly felt nnd will have "particular and
'very direct results In tho Immediate cn
tourago of tho president. Mme. Loubct,
though , personally a very courageous
woman, Is too dcoply attached to the presi

by this practical lesson In tbo dangers

Precautions In llrrllu.
ik My Informant cave me Bomo curious de
tails about the devices that havo recently
been introduced In Dcrlin to safeguard the
lcalser In view ot the recrudeBconco of an
archlsttc attempts. Wllhelm. 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
celved one day the not unplauslble Idea
that of all would-be assassins a regtcidally
' disposed soldier would hive the belt chance
ot gratifying his tasto tor roval blood. So
tho kaiser has planned to Introduce shortly
a trained secret service man Into cverv
"battalion ot tho Imperial troops. It will

These soldier-police will he recruited from
the younger members of the kaiser's sworn
detective bodyguard, which Is the mest
carefully organized agency of personal pro
tectlon thnt any sovereign has at hi heels.
The now measure Is rendered all the more
, Judicious In Germany by the fact that the,
' ilgorotis discipline of the army has roused
a spirit of rebellion and has already led to
several cases of the murder of officers bv
tbelr men.
The present czar, though popularly sup
posed to be the most constantly menaced
of monurch.i, Is perhaps one of the most In
different to the precautionary measures
taken In his Interest. Ills r.vtraordlnarv
personal carelessness In due to an absolute
conviction that he Ik foredoomed and to a
quasi-oriental fatalism, which leads to the
peaco-brlnglng feeling that no steps bo cun
devise can turn aside the murderous arm.
Ho goes his way, grave under tbe shadow
of the eomlug death, but without flinching
trom wnnt reaords as tbe Inevitable.
Ho knows, of course, that the authorlllci
i,s courl surround him with on elaborate
Eystcm nf police protection. Me does not
protest: It is their business; but he docs
not interest himself in the matter at all.
The only notice ho takes of the officials do
tailed to look after him consists In keeping
them as far from his eyes as possible. He
tries to forget. There Is trouble In store
for the Indiscreet official who "fusses" la
tho imperial presence. That Is 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
be Is gravely courteous to everybody except
to those whoso mission it Is to protect his
life at the constant risk of their own. An
anarchist with his porkct full of bombs
would apparently be greeted with more
kindness by N'lcholas than a secret service
agent leaping roughly to tho rcicue.

Another monarch who does not seem to
raro Is King Edward of England. Ills easy
going way of loading around Ilomburg,
drinking water at the Spas like any gouty
overy-day citizen shocked his cntourago.
The waters may euro his liver, but nothing
apparently will ever euro his calm assur
ance that nobody will ever want to do him
barm. In his case it !i not tho fatalism ot
Nicholas that produces this happy condi
tion; it is f-hcer content with himself and
with tho w trlil, leading him to laugh at the
very Idea ot danger. Queon Alcxaudrla Is
said to share tho king's perfect peace ot
mind In thin respect. As far as tho an
archist trouble Is concerned they are as un
disturbed as any suburbanite could be
anion; hlH rose trees. It Is given ns a fact
that on most days the king and queen or
England go about without even being
tricked by ono or Iwo secret service men,
such ns the least nf the little German
crowned bends has In his train.
"They aro probably as safe as any of th
othorn, alt tho samo," said my police officer
friend. "Everything that can be done has
been proved useless, tlmo and again. And
perhaps tbo best thing Is to take just ordi
nary precautions and leave the rest to fate.
That way. at least, you avoid exciting the
vanity of these light-headed, bloody-minded
criminals; and that la a cbanco In your
fnvor. King Edward secures his peaco that
way. The Czar, on other principles, arrives
at the same plan, and the same result. Tho
kaiser would never get there. It all do-
ponds upon a man's personal temperament."
However tho occupants of the seats of
the mighty may regard the matter, there
1b no doubt that tho success of Czolgosz's
attack has Increased the peril of every po
tentate In Europe. The theory on which
tho pollco proceed is that one successful
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 typo of
'mllltaat, anarchist, said ray informant
"that he is always of tho order ot 'hyster
leal decadent.' When a 'companion' has
Burcecded In killing, and everyone talks
nothing but the crime, then our friend Rets
carried away. He becomes what we call
exalte.' He sees red and Is dangerous.
Tbat is an added reason why wo are ca
pecially determined to tnko cxtraordlnarr
measures of prevention as a result of the
Buffalo assassination. We want to break
the electric current that this epoch-making
anarchist crlmo tends to set up."
I.lttle Co-operation.
Unfortunately for Europe there Is little
International co-operation against anarchy,
Europe complains, and with reason, ot tho
lack ot Interest shown by tho United States
In tracking suspected anarchists. England
shows much tho same spirit ot Indifference,
Germany and Russia contribute Information
to each other's archives. It Is true, but
neither Germany nor, curiously enough
Itussta shows any desire of cordial co-opera-
tlon with France. In Italy, though it is tbo
country where tbe study ot crime and crlml
nals lias been pushed to tbe furthest point
ot 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 ot the king killers. As an Instance of
Italy's attitude, the case ot the two notorl
ous globe-trotting anarchists, tbe Prince
and Princess Nakachldze, Is luminous. They
were recently arrested In Rome on the tech
nlcal charge ot being found on Italian soil
from which Ihey had been solemnly expelled
as dangerous conspirators. They had pre
vlously, in IS86, been expelled from Franco
for tho fabrication ot bombs. In 1887 the
prince had been sentenced to death in Rus
sia for conspiring, with an Indiscriminate
assortment ot nihilists and anarchists, to
kill the czar, lie had had the rare luck to

OMAHA, Sept. 1, 180... Dear Plerrepont:
ours of the 30th ultimo strikes me all
rong. 1 don't like to hear 'you say that
you can t work under Mllllgan or any otner
man, for It shows a fundamental weakness.
Aud then, too, the house Isn't Interested In
nowlng how you like your boss, but In
how he likes you.
I understand all about Mllllgan. He is i
cros, cranky old Irishman with a temper
tied up In a bow-knot, who prods his men
with the bull-stick six days a week and
schemes to get them salary raises on the
seventh, when ho ought to he listening to
the sermon; who puts the blacksnake on a
clerk's hide when ho sends a letter to Osh
knsh that ought to go to Kalamazoo, and
begs htm off when the old man wants to
have him fired for lu Altogether he's a
ard, .rabbed, generous, soft-hearted, loyal,
bully old bay, who's been with the houso
since we took down the shutters for the
first time nnd who's going to stay with It
till wo put them up tor tho last time.
But, all that apart, you want to get it
tlrmly fixed In your mind that you're going
o have a Mllllgan over you alt your life,
and It It Isn't a Mllllgan It will be a Jencs
or a Smith, and the chances arc that you'll
find them both harder to get along with
than this old fellow. And If It Isn't Mllll
gan or Jones or Smith, nnd you ain't a
butcher, hut a parson or a doctor, or even
the president of the United States, it'll be a
Devonian strata deacon, or the undertaker,
or the yellow Journals. There Isn't any
such thing as being your own boss In this
world unless you're a tramp, and then
there's the constable.
Llko tbe old man If you can, but give
him no causo to dlsllko you. Keep your
self-respect at nny cost, and your upper
Hp stiff at the same Usurp. Criticism can
properly oomo only from above, and when
ever you discover that your boss Is no good
you may rest easy that tho mnn who pays
his salary shares your secret. Learn to
give back' n bit from the base burner, to
let the vlllagn fathers get their feet on the
fender nnd the sawdust box in range, and
ou'll find them making a little room for
you In turn. Old men have tender feet.
nd apologies are poor salve for aching
corns. Remember that whon you're In tbo
right you ran afford to keep your temper,
and that when you're in tho wrong you
can't afford to lose It.

Passing of
James McGarry, the original of Flnley r.
Dunne's "Mr. Dooley." the "Archey Jload
Philosopher," died In Chicago last Tuesday
at an advanced age. McGarry was for-
rueroly a saloon keeper, running a boozery
frequented by newspapermen and other
prominent poople. They camo 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 tor a nignt cap. Mr. Ale
Garry's quaint philosophy passed among
them, and while enjoyed, never suggested
publicity until Mr. Dunne wrote hla first
story of "Colonol McNcery's" whirl on the
Ferris wheel. It appeared In tho Sunday
Post. No one who know htm had difficulty
in recognizing that "Colonel McNeery" was
Jim McGarry, and that Mr. McKenna, his
friend, was John McKenna, famed in po
litical circles.
'I'll kill you, Dunne," said McGarry
when the town began to laugh over his wit,
"It you write mo up again, and I'll kill you
If you don't."
Dunne laughed and kept on with tho
stories, which appeared once every week.
McGarry was too rich a field to be neg
lected. He was the kind ot a .whole-souled
public character that could tell this story
on hlmt'elt:
'I as tendin' bar one day whin a tramp
come in an' he says, says he:
" 'five me a drink.'
"I. let the bottle before him an' he poured
his hss full, clare to the top. Says I:
" fhat will cost you 50 cents.'
"he made no reply. Ho drunk It all down,
an' when he was thru an' had wlpod bis
dirty mouth with his coat aleeve he pulls a
twtnty.dollar bill out of his pocket, throws
It on tbe bar, an' says:
" 'Who the h 1 axt you what It cost?' "
The Introduction of "Jim" McOarry ai
"Colonel McNeery" to the public was In
this wise?
" "Well, sir,' said Colonel McNeery, mix
ing a milk punch out of 'Every Man His
Own Barkeeper,' 'Iv all th' wonderful things
that the aye Iv th' Lord looks down upon
that there Farrla wheel's the wonderfullcst.'
"Mr. McKenna did not look up from tho
floor. Ever slnco Derby day Mr. McKenna
had been distraught. He was much given
to sitting alone, studying the pattern ot tho
carpet In the back room and from time lo
time drawing small pasteboard cards from
his pockets and glaring nt them savagely,

archist activity, all that Italy, In the exist
ing state ot International relations, ran do
Is to "reconduct him to the frontier." The
gentle soul, as long as he keeps out ot Italy,
France and flussla, may go on plotting red
murder all lite life long; he may even pay
frequent visits to Paris, kuowlng well that
the worst tbat can be done him is to buy
him a single trip ticket to Rolgluni, Hol
land or Switzerland and politely wish blm
good-bye. He will most likely live happily
In Geneva, or perhaps lu London, fabricat
ing bombs at his leisure, till he manages at
last to make the red trail he has been plan
ulug so long. He has long since ceased to
be merely a nihilist, with reglcldal designs
on only one crowned head. He Is a con-'
splcuous enemy ot all government, a menace
to the peace and prosperity of every state
and people. How he must smilo at the lack
ot co-operation tho European countries

they are all equally Interested In stamping

When 1 was clerking In MIourl a fellow
named Jeff Hanklns moved down, from Wis
consin aud bought a llttlu clearing Just out
side the town. Jeff was a good talker but
a bad listener, and so wo learned a heap
about how things were done In Wisconsin,
hut he didn't pick up much Information
about the habits ot our Missouri fauna.
When it camo to cows he had had a liberal
education and he mad out nil right, but
by and by It got on to plowing tlmo and
Jeff naturally bought a mule a little moth
eaten cuss with sad, dreamy eyes and
droopy, wlggly-woggly ears that swung In
a circle as easy as It they ran on ball
bearings. Her owner didn't glvo her a
very good character, but Jeff was too busy
telling how much ho knew nbout horses
to pay much attention to what anybody
was saying about mules. So finally the
seller turned her looso In Jeff's lot, told
him he wouldn't have auy trnublo catching
her If he approached her right, and hurried
off out ot range.
Next morning atunup Jeff picked out a
bridle and started off whistling "Buffalo
Gals" ho was a powerful pretty whistler
nnd could do tho "Mocking Bird" with var
iations to catch tho mulo and begin his
plowing. Tho animal was feeding aa peace
ful as a water-color picture, and sho didn't
budge; but whon Jeff began to get nearer
her ears dropped back along her neck as It
thpy had lead In them. lie kne.y that
tiymptom, nnd so ho closed up kind of cau
tious, aiming for her nt right angles and
gurgling, "Muley, muley, hero muley; thut'a
a good muley," sort of soothing and carcts-Ing-llke.
Still sho didn't stir ami Jeff got
right up to her nnd put one arm over her
back aud began to reach forwnrd with tho
bridle, when something happened, Ho
never could explain Just what It was, but
we Judged from tho marks on his person
that tho mulo had reached forward and
kicked the seat of hU trousers with one ot
her prehensile hind feet, and had reached
back and caught him on the last button of
his waistcoat with ono of her limber foro
feet, and had twisted around her clastlo
neck and bit off a mouthful of his hair.
When Jeff regained consciousness he reck
oned that tho only really safe way to ap
proach a mule was to drop on It from a
balloon.
I simply mention this little Incident as nn
example ot the fact thnt there aro certain
animals with which the Lord didn't Intend
white men to fool. And you will find that,
as a rule, tho humau varieties of them are
not the fellows who go for you rough-shod,
like Mllllgan, when you'ro wrong. It's
when you como across one of tboso gentle
men who havo more oil In their composition
than any two-legged animal has a right to
have, that you should be on the lookout for
concealed deadly weapons.

against bolnt given such notoriety.
Mr. Dunno paid no attention to him, but
Anally McGarry went higher. Ho said he
would appeal to all the laws In the laud and
do vlolonce If be was not cut out of Mr.
Dunne's fun. He was therefore dismissed
from public view In the Sunday article en
titled. "Colonel McNeery 's Away." It de
scribed his absence in Ireland, and was
wrltton by Mr. Dunno to furnish an excuse
for permanently retiring "Jim" McGarry
from tbo press. Mr. Dunne was much
chagrined over losing McGarry and vowed
he would write no more sketches but he
was told that any. other camo would do as
well, and that be did himself an Injustice

I don't know anything tbat a young busi

tho rulo to tho living, nnd especially to tho
houso which is paying your salary.

"Good .evening, Martin," ho said.
, "Hello, Jnwnny," replied Mr. Dooley, as
if they had parted only tho evening before.

do. 'TIs duller hero than a ray-publlcan

That Introduced Mr. Dooley, and was the
first of tho papers bearing his name. He
has appeared In many others slnco that

Garry that he owed his fame.
"I'll match me faco 'gainst yours, Judge,"
said McGarry ono day to his botsom friend,
Judge Goggln.
"When you'ro together one can't tell 'cm
apart," said Dunne.
Judge Goggln was quite wroth over this
nnd did not forgive tho remark for a long
Mme. Much ot what Dooicy said was often
nn actual extract from discussions In Mc
Garry's. Thcso wcro so Interwoven with
imaginative, bits ot matter as to make the
two inseparable.
Friends of McGarry recall tho days when
"Johnny" Dowllng gave him a scaro for bis
life. "Johnny" was "Mike" McDonald's
partner nnd mixed up in a good deal of bad
gambling. xIIo was a nervy fellow, free to,
use fist or gun, and had the run of the town

without a word smashed a big mirror.
"That's not right, Jawnny," said Mc
Garry. "You oughtn't to do that to a
friend."
but "Jawnuy" had his boots on and paid
no attention .to tho remonstrances ot Mc
Garry. He left tho place without paying
for tho mirror. Several nights later, after
12 o'clock McOarry was golug home on
Monroe utreet, then a lonesome, thorough
tare. Ho camo to a' dark alleyway and
there met Dowllng, who stopped hlra.
"McGarry," eald he, "I'm going to kill
'J'OU."
McGarry gasped and mado out as It ho
did not understand.
"McOarry," persisted Dowllng, pulling a
largo pistol out of his pocket, "you have
only five minutes to live."
"Would you have the blood of an innocent
man on your hands?"
"McGarry, prcparo to die."
McOarry suffered awful tortures. He
thought Dowllng was In earnest nnd he
pleaded long nnd well for his life. Finally
Dowllng let him go, and that was the en
of trnublo between them.
