Hattllnn Nelson, ex-llghtwelght champion of tho world, and "Undo Joo" Cannon, who 1b something of n scrapper hlmsnlf, sparred n round in tho speaker's pri vate ofllco recently. It wasn't stich a tame go at that, . although largely conversational. Nelson nnd his mnnagcr appeared before tho house corrimlttco on inter state and foreign commerco to op- poso tho hill Introduced by Represen tative Walter I. Sinlth of Iowa to pro hibit tho exhibition of moving pic tures of prizo fights and tho publica tion by newspapers of tho details of pugilistic encounters. After Nelson hnd spoken his picco ho loft tho com mlttee room and was hurrying down tho corridor toward tho exit when Representative Wagner of Pennsylva' nia came chasing after him. "Hey, Nolson," ho dried, "tho speak er wants to seo you, 'You're on," snld Nelson, and ho mado tracks for tho speaker's ofllco Ho got a warm greeting. Undo Joe shook his hands, felt his bleeps and slapped him on the back. The exam Stood High as a THIS story has been floating around tho house in Washington. Nobody offers to father it: There was onco a fiddler who was very precise In his statements. Ho wasn't much of a fiddler, and he knew It, It was not In his nature to claim talent which ho did not possess. One night thero wns a danco. Tho coinmlt teo couldn't get tho regular music. So they appealed to this fiddler. Ho said ho suro would play for them. "Are you a first-class fiddler?" they asked him. "No," ho ndmitted. "Aro you a second-class fiddler?" "Well, no, I'm not even a second- class fiddler." "Well, for gracious sakes; what are you, then 7 Are you a fiddler nt all? "I'm not a first-class fiddler," said tho honest musician. "I'm not a second-class fiddler even. But I stand darned high in the third class!" They took him on. Longworth Disapproves of Imitations ffy (own MIMIC MEVr AGIN WJL-Ut a m n I R 3PRESENTATIVE LONGWORTH is chairman of tho committee which is Investigating tho Merchant Mnrino league of Cleveland, and tho foreign shipping trust, when Olcott, tho regular chairman, is absent. Longworth was in tho chair recently and James L. Uhl of New York wns tho witness. Uhl was tolling of an at tempt ho had made to traco a certain lcttor to Its source. Ho had to visit foreign steamship agents. Ho gavo imitations on tho statu! of how those ngents talked. Lougworth's faco be gan to Hush, becauso Longworth doesn't llko exhibitions of this sort. "Oh," Longworth murmured, "I think wo havo had enough of that." Tho murmur was loud enough to reach tho witness. "I'll apologize," ho said. "But when I wns a boy I had a faculty for giv ing Imitations, nnd my father was never able to break mo of tho habit."

"Say," said Nelson to Mr. Cannon, as ho ran his hands over tho speak er's nrms and shouldors and nlzcd up his height, "I thought you woro a big mnn, but yon'ro only a llttlo follow." Somo of tho croup surrounding tho two informed tho fighter that tho speaker took his dally cxerclso and always kept himself fit. "I know ho was thero on tho train ing," replied Nelson; "you enn't fool mo about telling when a boy 1b In shape." "Uncle Joo" grinned and put up hla hands In approved style. Ho mado a few swift passes at tho "Uattler." "Philadelphia Jack O'Urlen showod mo how to do this," ho said as Nelson backed away laughingly. "If you had begun boxing a fow years ago, Mr. Cannon," snld Nelson, "you would havo mado a bettor boxer than n speaker and you cortalnly are some Bpenker." "Why," cried Undo Joo, "that's what I call a mighty pretty compli ment." Hefore Nelson left tho capltol Uncl6 Joe gavo him nn autographed photo graph and offered hlrn n cigar. "Gee," said Nelson, "I'm much obliged for yonr map, Mr. Cannon; but I never took n smoko or a drink in my life." "I'm happy," replied Mr. Cannon, gravely, ns ho bit tho end off a por fecto, "that I cannot say tho same." Third Class Fiddler Walter Evans, correspondent of tho Kansas City Star, knows probably more about Kansas politics than nny man alive. Ho thinks Kansas is ono of the greatest states In tho Union. "Speaking of fiddling," ho said, "1 knew four brothers onco that went to Kansas nnd took up four adjacent quarter sections. Each built a mud house on a corner of each section) so that their homes wero close together. Then they proceeded to plant all four sections with wheat. They didn't get n grain that year, becauso of tho drouth. "They wero up against it hard when winter came. So two of tho brothers Went to Mexico and worked in tho mines. Tho other two stayed behind tho miners sent them money to live on. Next spring tho two brothers 're maining again sowed wheat. They had a bumper crop, nnd tho miners came Home, Wheat wns 'way up then, and the brothers mado a barrel of money. Now they own land In Kansas till you can't rest. They don't live In mud houses nny moro, "Talk about fiddling; ono of these brothers, even after tho bumper crop would rldo to a danco nt night, piny till morning nnd then rldo homo and go to work. Ho got a dollar and a 1ml f for his playing. Ho didn't stand very high in the third clnss, either." Even Longworth smiled nnlvetto of this reply. at the A member of congress stood on the steps of tho Iioubo office building and gazed at tho capltol. Thero was wistful look In his eyes. "Yes," ho snld. "tho Hag Is flying. I'll hnvo to go over to tho house, I s'pose." Ho went slowly, like n boy on the first day of school. "I wish we'd get through," ho Bald.

Rose From the Ranks to a Millionaire and Laid tho Clever Trap That Caught Jay Gould's Blackmailer. New York. Probably no man was better known In tho world of pollco nnd nono was moro feared by crooks than Thomas K. Dyrncs, former detect Ivo nnd Inspector who died -In this city a fow days ago. it was whllo In spector and In charge of tho detoctlvo bureau at pollco headquarters In Mul berry street that Byrnes won hla greatest fame. From tho day ho bocatno a member of tho police, In August, 18G9, until ho retired on May 27, 1895, Inspector Byrnes was a thlof catcher first of all and it was as such that ho became a vnluablo servant of tho people. Byrnes roso quickly from tho ranks. Ho was first n patrolman, then a roundsman, Inter on n sergeant, thou captain, Inspector and finally commis sioner. Thirty years ago tho city was over run with thieves nnd thugs. A rolgn of terror had spread over tho town. Murders wcro committed almost night ly. It wns at that time that Byrnes was called to Mulberry strcot nnd told to orgnnlzo a dctcctivo bureau. Ho had shown consldcrnblo dctcctivo abil ity whllo occupying positions of ldwer rank in tho pollco department, and this had attracted tho attention of his su periors to tho quiet but determined mnn. In a short tlmo ho had organized what becamo known as tho central ofllco of detectives and assigned to that bureau were tho best thief catch- Thomas F. Byrnes. ers, In tho dopartmont. Ho had only a limited number of dotectlvo norgennts under his commnnd. but had tho powor to rcduco those at any time and with out trial. In that way ho was ablo to surround himself with tho best talent tho department could afford Byrnes was a man of striking per sonality. Ho wns tall and woll put together. Ho woro a big mustache and never tnlkod In a loud volco, except when ho wnntcd to lctpcop1o know thnt ho would stand no trifling. His wlfo was a school teacher In her earlier days. Their daughtors, pretty and highly educated, adored their father, who was Intensely proud of them. Ho was proud, too, of his fine summer home nt Red Bank, N. J. Byrnes was a very rich man. Ho wns said to havo been a many times millionaire Ho was a wltnoRS boforo tho Lexow committee and thero ho told how ho camo to mnko his fortune. It was generally hollovcd that Jay Gould was among other of his frionds who gnvo him vnluablo tips on money making. Byrnes was not ungrateful. Gould becamo tho victim of n blackmallor, who wroto bo many threatening let ters thnt Gould was In constnnt fear of his llfo. Tho letters woro always mailed on a Sunday, but nevor from the samo box. Thero wbb no duo to his Identity and to catch him scorned hopeless. Byrnes undertook (ho tnsk. First ho distributed photogrnphs of an onvnlopo addressed to Jay Gould by the blackmailer among tho entlro pollco forco. Then, on n Sunday, ho Stationed n policeman, plain clothes man or postnl Inspector nt every mall box In tho city. IJvery tlmo a lottor was dropped In tho box wns oponed nnd tho letter Inspected. Finally tho right man dropped In tho right lottor and was promptly arrested. "Colonol Wells," ns ho was known, wnB convicted and got a long term. Tho ciibo perhaps brought Byrnes moro famo than nny of his others. Defect In Wlreleoc Telegraphy.
