HE HAD THREE NAMES AND AS MANY HOWIES But He Stole a Girl's Heart From Another Fellow and Is Now in Jail From The Inquirer Bureau NEW YORK, Aug.

27 Friends and acquaintances of Mr. Louis Bense, of 109 West Forty-eighth street; Mr. Leon Barry, of 145 Twenty-first street, and Mr. Louis Barret, of 139 East Nineteenth street, upon assembling and comparing notes will discover that one idividual bore all these names and had a different home under each name. This became known to-day when the young man admitted a few facts concerning his identity.

He is now confined in the prison attached to the East Fifty-eeventh street court accused of obtaining upon forged checks about $25,000 from the cigar firm of Pemdas Alvarez, for "which he acted as cashier. At each of the three addresses he posed as a young man of means, whose connect tion with a large tobacco house enabled him to enjoy life in Bohemia, and his statement that he was about to run over to Paris and going to Cuba to inspect certain tobacco plantations were implicitly believed. Ilia undoing was the jealousy of a young man less favored in looks and monev. Beaten in Cupid's game by the prepossessing Bense, or Barry, or Barrett, the defeated swain notified the firm that their stylish young representative was about to go abroad. The notification of their employe's intended departure led the firm to put an exert on the books.

Vandals Steal Art Panels Special to The Inquirer. PITTSBURG, Aug. 27. Vandals broke into the Schenley Mansion in this city recently and stole panels from two inside doors. One was a Dresden art panel and the othr tiw costly bronze on the door from the El2 into the ball room.

As a retult of falling- oft a hay wagon at MoyameDslng avenue and Dickinson street last night, Albert Wilkinson, of 610 Meyer street, had three of his ribs broken. He was taken, to St. Agnes' Hospital. Spotted George is 4 years old and has just arrived at the dignity of his first knickerbockers with suspenders just like papa wears. They were the pride of his heart and at night lie would take them off his trousers and clasp them tight in his arms when he went to bed.

His mother found' teem th-re the other night, and as they seemed to be making the little chap ua-comfortable, she took them away and laid them on a chair by his bed. The next morning he had a long interview with his mother. "Didn't you tell me, mamma," he said, "that angels watched evervthinir I did?" "Yes, George." "Are they watching me when I sleep?" "Yes, my son, they watch over you always, whatever you are doing." "Do they come right in my room at nieht?" "Yes. dear; the good angels are every- wnere. ajways.

Tet faster still they streamed; Her face was pale with sorrow. Bowed down with woe she seemed. I wished that I could comfort; Alas! what could I say That would assuage her grieving, Or wipe her tears away? I could but stand and pity! Bnt pray, make no mistake She was but slicing onions To fry them with a steak! Pearson's Weekly. His Character An Irishman was charged with a petty offense. "Have you anyone in court who will vouch for your good character?" queried the judge.

"Yes, eorr; there is the chief 'constable yonder," anawered Pat. The chief constable was amazed. "Why your Honor, I don't even know the man, protested he. "Nowr sorr," broke in Pat, "I have lived in the borough for nearly twenty vears, and if the chief constable doesn't know me yet, isn't that a character for ye?" Town Topics. Was With the Majority "Xow, gentlemen, do you think this ia or is not a case for operation?" asked an eminent surgeon of his class of six students as they walked the wards in a city hospital.

One by one the young men diagnosed the case, ana all of them answered in the negative. "Well, -gentlemen," announced the surgeon, "you are nil wrong, and I shall operate to-morrow." "No, you won't!" exclaimed the patient, as he rose in his bed, "six to one is a good majority. Gimme my clothes." Figs and Thistles If you do not love folks you will not be happy in heaven, for it is full of them. The earth is the Lord's, but a man does not show his religion by trying to get it all.

Dull It was a an unwelcome thought, but the woman could no longer doubt that her child was dull in school. here she's thirteen years old," exclaimed the.

woman, with something like a sob, "and she has never yet ridiculed her father's and my grammar!" It was possible that the girl was too considerate to make fun of her parents, but even that would show that she was not making the most of her opportunities. Puck. A Tree for Each Baby At the birth of a Japanese baby a tree is planted, which must remain untouched until the marriage day of the child. Then the tree is cut down and a skilled cabinetmaker transforms the wood into furniture, which, is considered by the young couple as the most beautiful of all the ornaments of the house. Eighty Years in One House Mr.

William Barrett, who was buried at Finmere. near Buckingham, England, recently, lived for over 80 years in the same house. He celebrated his golden wedding last year by driving round the village with his wife and leaving a half-sovereign at every house. BOYS IMPRISONED IN CAR Lads Found at West Conshohocken Injured by Shifting Freight Special to The Inquirer. NORRISTOAVN, Aug.

27. After being prisoners in a box car for three days, two boys, Edward Ganston and 'Morris Weiand, of Buffalo, N. were rescued at West Conshohocken. Ganston had received a broken leg while his companion's spine was painfully injured. The boys had received their hurts by the shifting about of heavy boxes and barrels piled up in the car.

The boys entered the car at Buffalo to take a rest and fell asleep. In the meantime the car door was closed and they were prisoners. The boys were sent to a hospital for treatment. "REGULARS" ASK FOR COMMON PRIMARIES (Special to The Inquirer. WILMINGTON, Aug.

27. At the meeting of the so-called Regular Republican Committee of New Castle county this afternoon a proposition was submitted to the Union Republican Committee for common primaries. The committee declares that unless there is but one ticket New Castle county will be carried by the Democrats, that they will gain a majority of the members of the Levy Court and most of the members of the Legislature. IV adds that the Regular Republicans are in favor of saving the county to the Republicans and the communication ends: "If you refuse to' allow a single county ticket we can then only appeal to the voters to express their opinion of your action."

In commemoration of the Indian Princess Pocahontas, who died at Graveoend, England, when about to sail home to Virginia with her huband in 1616, St. George's Church, in Wapping, is to have a pulpit made from wood brought from Virginia.

There has been a steady decrease in the number of births in Germanv during the last few decades.

Many men charge high to be interviewed. Sir Charles Yilliers Stanford, professor of music at Cambridge University, said it required a fee of SI GOT) to get him to "open up." W.

G. Grace, the cricketer, demands $500 for an interview, and the rates set by W. S. Gilbert and Sir Robert Ball, the astronomer, are nearly as high. The art of land surveying owes its origin to the fact that the Egyptians were unable to keep permanent monuments on land which was overflowed every year by the Nile.

Under such circumstances it became necessary to have some means of reidentifying the various pieces of land. The instrument and mathematical methods of astronomy, with suitable modifications, were used by the Egyptians for land surveying. The youngsters of a Harlem public school have instituted a signal to tell them whether they are late on the way to school. A city ordinance requires school-houses to display an American flag during the session, and over the school of One-hundred-and-sixtenth street the Stars and Stripes, flying alone, signifies that the scholars have plenty of time. But when a blue nag is also flying the children know that their "lines" are -the way to the classrooms, and there is a rush and scramble to get in.

Ping-Yang, the largest and most important city in Northern Korea, was founded by a fugitive Chinese statesman, who came over with 50O0 followers in the days when David was King a Jerusalem, i His name was Kija, and he is regarded as the founder of Korean civilization. His well is still at Ping-Yang, and on a high hill to the north ot the city is his tomb. Ping-Yang is the second city in the Empire. It has a population of between and 80,000 inhabitants; its people are free and' independent, full of energy and spirit. High Time to Get a Lawyer The well-known legal light of the State of Washington, James Hamilton Lewis, is fond of telling the vicissitudes he ex- Eerienced during the days when he had rst hung out his shingle.

"In Boise City, Idaho," said Mr. Lewis, "I was once called upon to undertake the defense of a Texan who during a visit to our city had in the course of an altercation rather seriously done up one of our prominent citizens. "During the progress of the trial I observed that our Texas friend seemed not in the least worried as to the outcome. Things looked bad for him and I. told him so.

Yet he didn't worry a bit. One day I said to him: 'My friend, you are taking this matter a trifle too complacently. I desire to impress upon you the fact that there is a very fair chance that you'll be jailed for this. "Whereupon, for the first time, the Texan began to evince signs of alarm. "'Say, sport he said, 'is that 'It certainly I replied.

"At this the Texan began to stride about the room, all the time pulling fiercely at his mustache. Finally he stopped and bringing down his fist upon the table between us, yelled: 'Then, by gad, I re got to get a Jsew York Press. Too Much A Chinese servant employed in a Xew York famijy, who lived next door to a famous woman pianist, left suddenly after only a few days' service. His knowledge of the English language was limited, and the letter which he lett behind him notifying the family of his departure Avas written in Chinese. With the aid of an interpreter the gist of the communication was made out.

"I do not mind your heathen parrot," said the letter; "I do not mind your barbarous customs of dressing and eating; but the lady next door who sits on the musical instrument every day is too much." Harper's Weekly. Red; a Favorite Flag Color Red seems to be the most popular of national colors, if flags" may be used as criterions.

MAN THROWN BY BELT Sugar Refinery Employe Was'Hurled Against Wall Caught in the grasp of a large belt which had broken from the machinery at McCann'a sugar refinery, Tasker street wharf, William C. Bowers, 35 years old, of 2413 South Sixth street, was hurled across the room, and against the opposite wall. He is now lying in a serious condition at the Methodist Hospital. Bowers was busy in the machine room last night when the belt snapped.

In its sweep the loose end caught Bowers and threw him across the room. He was taken to the Methodist Hospital. He had his right" leg broken and also reeeived injuries to the back, as well as innumerable bruises. Auditorium Opens Messrs. Gilmore Tale Inaugurated the new regime at the Auditorium last night and an Immense audience took kindly to the change.

There was not an act on. the program that did not receive at least one encoree, and several of them were so enthusiastically received that the performers had a difficult time to get away. The standard- set by this progressive management in the opening most be continued throughout the season, and that means that some rather unusual entertainment is going to be provided. Henri French, who made his American debut, was by no means the whole show, though he did occupy the stage for over a half-hour. French does an act that ia unique in that it is diversified.

Of course, his forte is the quick changes of character, which, by the way, Isl about as clever as anything we bare had here, but be is also an expert iug-gler and a perfect wlrard with the bicycle wheel. His feat of mounting the wheel from a running Jump while it is lying on the floor and then riding it around the stage was a bit that was far above the ordinary. Hi impersonations of noted composers and their eccentricities was another good thing. And his dog, who -walked around the stage on two feet, both on the same side of the body, made quite as much of a hit as did his master. But French's act can only be partially described; one must see it to be convinced of its extent.

Joe Morris, a clever Hebrew Impersonator, with a satchel fall of parodies on the latest song hits, was recalled a dozen times and was declared one of the best performers on the bill. The local skit. The Two Candidates," proved to be a revamped edition of Billy Carroll's old success. It was fall of up-to-date matter and proved quite amusing. The Olympia Quartet, Jeanne Ardelle.

Ines Bayard Les-Molasses. Annie Kenwick McBride and Watson, the Musical Blennetts and Way and his American Beauties were among the other strong cardsin the bill. Bob White at the Sea Special to The Inquirer. ATLANTIC CITY. X.

Aug. 27. The Nixon and Zimmerman Opera Company opened thetr season at Young's Pier here to-night- The company Is one of the best musically ever presenting comic opra here, and the chorus is unusually strong, of young, fresh, pretty girls. Frank Desbon, the little comedian, was received with a storm of applause reaching an ovation, while Cecelia Khoda, the new Bob White, was pronounced on all sides the most attractive yet essaying the role. Personal hits were made by all of the principals.

Marcelle Tasche, a vivacious Creole from New Orleans, entertained a lot of her Southern friends to-day In anniversary of the christening of the battleship Louisiana, and in a body they gave her a rousing welcome to-night.

It lacks those world relationships which characterize Berlin and Leipic, i-enna and (Jiford. Its fifteen hundred students are principally the sons and daughters of Sweden. Its remoteness (twenty-four hours or more from Berlin) from the great tides of life and the separateness of its language from the world tongues tend to keep it as a Swedish institution But, as if in emphasis oi the Spencerian principles of homogeneousness and hetero- geneousnesfj this one body of Swedish stu dents is divided up into what are called "nations." The "nations" of the University of Upsala constitute its most significant characteristic. A nation is a body composed of the students who come from a certain province of Sweden. In origin the term is a geographical distinction.

The thirteen nations into which the students are divided correspond to thirteen different provinces; and everv student of a province is a member cf the nation of his province. Each of these bodies owns or leases a house. This is essentially a fraternity or club house. It usually contains a library, reading and writing room, a music-room, offices and rooms for the use of committees. The houses are of varying size and elaborateness, but in general they represent a well-equipped club-house of a small city.

They remind one, of course, of the common-room at Oxford or Cambridge, except that the size of a common-room is usually multiplied three or four fold. The members are of two sorts, active and honorary, the active include usually the students; the honorary, the teachers of the university, former active members and certain persons elected. The government of each nation is intrusted to a few officers known as "inspectors" and "curators" and other functionaries. It represents a little republic. The general purpose of the organization is intellectual, ethical, social.

The expense of membership is small; the life js simple: the general atmosphere is one of good-fellowship, depending more upon personality than upon purse. The lovalty of the members of a nation to itself is constant and strong. The flag which each nation flaunts forth upon public occasions means for the eye what a college yell of American colleges means for the ear. Harper's Magazine. The Spirit of the West Whv do the'mockers call it the "Woolly West?" This is a question that must go unanswered, for no answer is to be found in any mind.

A woolly man is not unknown in any of the haunt of men. and some professors have met him in the classroom. "Explain the pessimism of Ecclesiastes, said the professor of a not far-distant uni-versitv. "I do not understand the question, answered the football giant. "What is the difficulty?" "I don't know what the question means." "You know what Ecclesiastes -means? "Oh.

ves," aid the captain of elevens; "it i a book in the Bible." "Then it must be pessimism that troubles you," suggested the amazed (he was voung) professor. "That's it; that's it," bubbled the catapult. "Why, you must know that; you cannot be ignorant of that. You know the words pessimism and optismism, do you not? Pessimism: and optimism, optismism and pessimism; you certainly know what they mean?" "Oh, yes," replied he of the well-greaved 6hins; "I know What they mean, but I can't tell them apart."

Hard to Feae Him That Zsew York is a big city, which the stranger seldom learns well, was forcibly impressed upon a certain well-known Californian a few days ago. He was rushing about in the down-town business district and suddenly remembered that he wanted to telegraph to a friend whose offices are at No. 195 Broadway.

The Californian dashed into the nearest telegraph office, wrote out his dispatch and covering it with the necessary coin, passed it through the wicket to the receiver. The latter glanced over the message and smiled. 'What is the matter?" asked the Cali fornian. "Why, this is No. 19o Broadway," said the receiver, "and your man is up just two nights of stairs." The Californian had his nerve with him, so he calmly said: "I know that.

Let it go anyhow. I guess I can telegraph across the room if I want to. We do that sort of thing frequently in 'Frisco." Called a Halt They were a romantic young couple and were sitting on a single camp stool on the "upper deck of a lake steamboat.

'Closing of Forelgg Music for Russian Workmen "The laboring man in Russia, though in rougher surroundings than found in other countries for the same class, has undoubtedly compensations which serve to make his" life happier than could be imagined under such conditions," says a writer in Social Service. "One is love of music, cultivated and enlarged by the fine rendering' of anthems and chants of the services of the churches. The choral singing of men and boys in some of the smaller haiiv lets is indeed so rich and finished in stylo as to be a constant source of wonder to all travelers. Soothing and delightful also is the delicious melody of the church bells which render hourly their music; and musical as well as cheering even the tinkling ol the bells on the harness of the horses. No whip ii needed by the drivers, who urge their beautiful ponies only by the exhilarating sound of national or popular airs sung in 'their rich chanting tones." Buildings and Small Heads Dr.

Warner, a London physician, who has examined 100,000 children, finds a connection between modern high buildings and physical degeneracy. He finds that heads are growing smaller, especially those of females, and that this" is notably the case in the districts where buildings are of great height. Want of air and light is presumed to have much to do with this result.

At a meeting of City Councils it was decided not to appeal from the decision of the local court declaring the proposed bond issue illegal.

It was decided to dispose of the entire matter as quickly as possible so that the question of increasing the city's indebtedness can be submitted to the taxpayers again in November. How the Koreans Dress It 13 only the lower classes of Koreans whose garments are dirty. The better-class Korean wears an attire the immaculate cleanliness of which is probably unexcelled anywhere on earth. It is certainly the quaintest in the Orient, and as its owner invariably swings along with a supercilious swagger, as if he and he alone were the owner of the street and all he surveyed besides, the incongruity of his manly gait contrasted with his exceedingly effeminate dress is a thing which roust seen to be thoroughly appreciated. He is clothed in white from head to foot, the white being 'sometimes yaried by cream-colored silk, every garment being of spotless cleanliness.

He wears the baggiest of baggy breeches, tightened just above the ankles, and his padded white socks are partially inclosed in white and black cloth sandals.
