TELLS PIIOUDL.Y OP HIS ACTION.
J. IJ. Parlcr, who grabbed tho as
BnHBln about the nock with a strangle
hold, preventing tho llrlng of a third
shot, Is a Negro who lives at No. 4150
Sixth avenue, Now York City. Ho
was born In Atlanta, Ga,, forty-four
yearH ago, In slavory.
Ho went to tho exposition to tako
a placo as a waiter In tho Dalloy res
taurant. Ho lives at No. 233 Clinton
street, Duffalo, whllo at work at tho
exposition. Ho Is a giant In size,
standing over six feet, erect as an In
dian, has very regular features and
Is light in color. The assassin tore his
vest buttotiB entirely off In tho strug
gle. I'nrkor Bald:
"It's tho very best day's work I ov
er did. If I had not grabbed that
crazy loon ho would have shot again.
I got a straglo hold on his neck that
I learned down South,
"Just think, old Father Abo freed
mo, and now I have saved his success
or provided that bullet that ho got
Into tho President don't kill him.
"I llvo In Now York, but I novor
had a chanco beforo to shako any
President's hand. I stood In tho lino
waiting my turn; ahoad of mo was a
follow all light hair, about G feet 9
InchcB tall.
"Ho had a cap In his loft hand and
a handkerchief In his right hand. Ho
was right In front of mo, and I had a
good chanco to look nn htm as ho
walked slowly down tho lino.
"Suddenly I hoard two sharp re
ports, tho handkerchief In the man's
hand burst Into a blazo, and tho fel
low raised his smoking pistol to shoot
again, aiming this time at tho Presi
dent's heart.
"It scorned to mo my heart was In
my mouth, but I gavo a jump, throw
my loft arm nround tho man and
knocked his hand down. Then, tho
detective and mysolf draggod him Into
a side room and throw htm on a tablo
and soarehod him.
"Tho President turned a shade pato
mid wit down on n bench. My clothes
wore half torn off me, but I thank
tho good Lord I did what I could to
hiivo tho oucccssor of tho man who
saved my people I shall stay right
horo, working as a waltor."
CHECK IT STItAiailTWAY.
Thoro la unanimity of opinion on
tho (mostlon that protective measures
should bo ndoptcd in tho country to
check tho growth of anarchism. Tho
most obvious method of procoduro
that suggests Itself lu restraint upon
Immigration. Hut It Is difficult to boo
how tills remedy could bo mmlo lnflne
latoly offoctlvo. Thoro aro no enr
marks by which an anarchist can be
infallibly identified. If an anarchist
wore not disposed to confoss himself
its such ho could not bo provontcd
from entorlng tho country. To bo
Hiiro, porsona who had made them
selves conspicuous in Europo na lead
ers or members of anarchistic socie
ties could bo refused admission. Hut
something more than nn Immigration
act is roqutrod to stamp out anarch
ism. So long as anarchists aro allow
ed their present freedom of organiza
tion, meeting and publication, they
will continue to nourish. Nothing
Bhort of complete abrogation of that
freedom will accomplish any substan
tial results. Thoy should bo placed
tioyond tho palo of tho law. Tho for
mation of anarchistic clubs should bo
prohibited; their publications should
bo suppressed and their leaders out
lawed,
A conspiracy to commit crime Ih
punishable under tho laws of all tho
states. Tho transaction at many of
the anarchistic meetings consituto
breaches of tho peaco. Inciting others
to commit crlmo is a breach of tho
peace and makes participants amen
able to tho penalties for nn unlawful
assomby, Tho penalties are Insuffic
ient for breaches of tho peaco com
mitted by anarchists, but such laws
as apply should bo enforced until
stronger legislation can bo enacted.
8tuco tho lamentablo occurrence which
took place at Duffalo our law expound
ers have boon Ingenious In suggesting
Improvements in tho oxlstlng laws
nnd tho enactment of now legislation.
These aro ex post facto suggestions,
nnd, unfortunately, do not apply to
Czolgosz; but tho pollco power can be
iuvokod to mako tho propagation of
anarchism uitich more difficult than
it has boeu In tho past.

MARVELS OF ARCHITECTURE.
Anclen Bnltt laapo Ins and Darable
Untitling Plan' Leaning Tower.
The earliest builders appear to have
been architects, In the tense that they
sought to make their designs beautiful
or Imposing as well ns durable. The In
clination, In ancient times, among the
first architects, was to make all their
works exceedingly massive, as witness
the Pyramids, the Temple at Thebes
and the Celtic monuments of the
Druids. First attempts at architecture
wero tombs and temples, and then fol
lowed palaces. The earlier kings nnd
chieftains wero regarded ns seml-ccles-tint
beings, ami although they were
housed little better than their subjects,
when they died It wns deemed Impera
tive that they should have Imposing
sepulchre. At first caves and natural
cavities were used for such purposes;
then came rough calms and finally
mighty tombs. The Acropolis of Slpy
lus In Asia Is the first notable tomb
on record. It formed the grave of Tan
talus, King of Lydla, who died nbout
1400 II. C. Of course the Pyramids an
tedate this Acropolis, but tho Pyramids
are not strictly tombs. Although used
for burial purposes by the kings of
I.KAN1NO TOWKH OP J'lAA.
Egypt, It l known that they were nlso
astronomical observatories. These mar
vels of architecture were built 4000 II.
0. On cither hank of the Nile for hun
dreds of miles arc temples, palaces nnd
tombs, the vnstness of whose ruins
proves that a mighty clvlllzntlou exist
ed upon the earth at a time when the
Persians and Greeks herded their flocks
on the shore of the Caspian Sea.
Tho Pyramids aro undoubtedly the
most stupendous work of man, and the
Palace of Knrnak Is not much Inferior,
It covers two hundred nnd seventy
acres, nnd lu the Hall of Columns there
are pillars, high as tho tallest trees,
surmounted by capitals on wlilch.'.tic
hundred men could stand 'without
crowding.
It may bo noticed that In no other
country have architects had such scape
for their vast Ideas as lu Egypt, because
In no other country has human life ever
been hold so dimply. For twenty years
one hundred thousand men tolled on
the Pyramids, and millions of lives
have been sacrificed to erect the won
derful temple and palaces over whoso
ruins we sigh to-day.Tho ancient cities
of Iinhylon nnd Nineveh, although not
built of enduring stone, were triumphs
of architectural power. Who can pic
ture to themselves Nlnovch, with Its
wall sixty miles In circumference, nnd
ono hundred feet high, studded with
II ft eon hundred towers, ench two hun
dred feet high? or Itabylon, greater
still, with Its hundred brazen rates, Its
walls three hundred nnd ninety feci
high antl ninety-eight feet thick? Jose
pirns, who saw the temple of Jerusalem
in all Its glory, describes Is as a marvel
of architecture. It was built by Solo
mon 1000 n. 0.; was world renowned,
and yot to-dny Its very site Is unknown.
Some wonderful architects must hnvo
flourished In ancient times In India, If
we may Judge by tho colossal ruins and
the remaining monuments of their skill.
A single lllustrntlou will sufllce. The
Templo of Knllnsa Is au Immense build
ing, three bundrvd aud forty feet long,
ono hundred and ninety-five feet wide,
and rising to the height of one hundred
feet. It Is of stone, but not put togeth
er In the usual way. It Is ninde out of
a single Isolated rock hoUowed , within
nnd carved without, and contains halls,
galleries, rooms and statues In profu
sion. There la uo other building like
It in tho world.
Tho Greeks were wonderful archi
tects, and left behind them as legacies
of greatness the Acropolis with Its
beautiful temples, and the Temple of
Diana, at Ephesus, which was one of
the seven wonders of the undent world.
Homo borrowed her chief architectural
Ideas from the Etruscans and Greeks,
but Improved on them In masslveneia.
The most Imposing and tho most endur
ing of these architectural marvels Is
the Colosseum, built by Titus about 80
A. D. The building covers a space of
slxty-nvo thousand square feet, and
when complete accommodated ninety
thousand spectators.
Iu China tho Great Wall will at once
occur to tho reader, but that was an
engineering feat and displays no archi
tectural skill. Tho famous Porcelain
Tower, tlireo huudrvd and fifty feet
high, was a wonderful building and the
only ono of Its kind. It It no longer In
existence, having been destroyed by the
Talplng rebels. America has no die
tlnct stylo of architecture and England
Is not much better off. Human life la
dear, aud although we could no doubt
build a higher pyramid than Cheops, If
wo wanted to, we don't want to, Italy
contains three marvels of architecture
at the present day In the shape of lean
ing towers that will continue to attract
for many years tho wonder aud admira
tion of travelers.
Near the exchange la Bologna U a I
large space from which four street
branch off to the principal gates. This
space contains two leaning towers. The
tower of Aslnelll Is two hundred and
seventy-two feet high nnd has a deflec
tion of five feet from the perpendicular,
nnd its companion, the Tower of Qnrls
cuda, Is one hundred and thirty-eight
feet high nnd tins a deflection of nine
feet from the perpendicular. These
towers are both plalu structures, devoid
of architectural beauty, nnd nt n dis
tance look to the American visitor like
factory chimneys. The same reproach
cannot apply to the famous leaning
tower of Pisa, which Is beautiful as
well as odd.
The Campanile, or Leaning Tower, Is
the noblest specimen of Southern Uo
mnnesqiics art. It Is one hundred and
seventy-nine feet high, the walls aie
thirteen feet thick nt the base anil six
feet thick at the top, and the entire
structure Is built of white marble,
which time has toned down to a beauti
ful cream color. Thu basement Is sur
rounded by n range of seml-clrculnr
arches supported by fifteen columns,
nnd above these rise six arcades with
thirty columns each. The c'glith story,
which contains the bells, Is of much
smnller diameter and contains but
twelve columns. The ascent to the top
Is by a stairway In the wall and Is so
made that the visitor hardly perceives
the Inclination until he reaches the top
nnd looks down nt the base.
This tower wns built In tho twelfth
century by the nrchltects Iionnanno
and William of Ilnasbruck, aud It Is not
believed that the tower was made to
lean designedly. The most reasonable
supposition Is that the foundations set
tled while the tower was In course of
construction, nnd this supposition Is
strengthened by the fact that the upper
portion Is built so ns to correct the
slanting appearance of the tower. At
nny rate, It does lain to the extent of
thirteen feet eight Inches from the per
pendicularenough to excite the live
liest npprchcnslon In the minds of vis
itors who make the ascent nnd look
down the t hort side. .Most engravings
exaggerate the leaning of the tower so
much ns to make It look absurd. Tho
Illustration given heiewlth Is correct
In detail. There Is no danger of the
tower falling, however, ns n line
dropped from tho center of the top will
fall Inside Its base, and therefore tt.
obeys the law of the center of gravity,
and so preserves Its balance. It has not
settled nny since the first settling, and
Is not likely to do so.
DIAMOND'S "SELF-FLAME."
Remarkable PliotphnrNccnt Property
of the I'rrclona Htnne.
A traveler for n diamond house was
talking shop the otljer evening, and,
speaking of gems, said: "Tho most
overworked expression used by the un
sophisticated and deeply impressed
diamond purchaser Is: "It actually
looks m If It glows of Itself.' Now, It
Is not generally known thnt such Is ac
tually the case, although not, of course,
In tlio way the public Intends. The
beauty of the gem In light Is, of course,
In Its remarkable refractive power, but
under certain conditions the diamond
has more, for It may gleam even In the
night with a pale but extremely beauti
ful light. In short, It becomes phos
phorescent. Heated to a certain tem
perature the Internal tire shows Itself,
and under pressure the same Is true.
Somo years ago I went to Amsterdam
to purchase some special stones for a
California millionaire, who had ordered
them through our Now York house, and
whllo there I was shown the Inside
workings of the famous diamond-cutting
estnbl loh men ts of thnt city. Of all
that I saw, howover, the 'self-flame of
the stones under pressure most sur
prised me. Tho manager placed a largo
roee-cut gem between the Jaws of a
vise and carefully applied a certain
amount of pressure. Ho then extin
guished all tlio light In the shop, and as
soon ns my eyes had become accus
tomed to tho darkness I saw the dia
mond emitting a soft radiance of Its
own like a very pale glow worm. As I
remember tt, he said that the yellower
diamonds were slightly moro phos
phorescent than tho first-water stones.

Vacant Iiots.
Vacant lots have been successfully
cultivated lu Philadelphia under tho di
rection of the Philadelphia Vacant
Lots Cultivation Association. During
the past years gardens wero provided
for four hundred nnd eighty families,
consisting of two thousand four hun
dred nnd eighty-six persons. The ag
gregate receipts from the various
farms showed a total of nearly twenty
five thousand dollars. This Is six times
tho amount expended by the associa
tion on the lands. Five families be
came bo adept at gardening that their
savings enabled them to hire ample
farms of their own. Thirteen families
were given Belglnii hares for experi
ment last year, and tho successful re
sults attained will cause tho associa
tion to take up this line of Industry on
the farms this year.

Policeman No. What do you want
to know for?
Milkman Because they hare gone

Policeman Well, I suppose these
was about $G worth of water In that
bill, anyway.
Milkman No, there wasn't; that's
what makes me'so blamed mad. They
were new customers, and I hadn't be
