STARS THAT STEAL.
Planets and Suns May Pick Up Minor
'Celestial Bodies.
Jupiter is much the blggesj : member
if the family of stars which revolve
iround our sun. Consequently the
/ower of his attraction is greater than
that possessed , for instance , by tha
earth. Jupiter's exploits as a burglar
have caused very considerable annoy
ance and inconvenience to astronomers
in the days before his powers wrere
fully recognized.
In 1770 there appeared a fine comet ,
which was found to have an eliptical
orbit round the sun of so compara
tively small a size that Mr. Lexell
Its discoverer , calculated it would re
turn In five and a half years. But in
1775 telescopes were vainly focused on
the spot where it was expected to re
appear , and again in 1781 it disap
pointed all observers. Mr. Lexel
plunged into fresh calculations , and
after much research found that Jupiter
was the culprit. The unfortunate
comet had been rash enough to plunge
into the sphere of the giant planet's
attraction , with the result that it had
been completely diverted from its for
mer orbit , and flung off into quite a
different one of a twenty years' period
It has never been seen again by any
one on this earth , and probably never
will be.
Jupiter was also responsible for the
delay which occurred in the return of
that splendid visitant known as Hal-
ley's comet. Halley found that he was
not the first discoverer of this big com
et It had appeared at least twice
previously , once seventy-five years be
fore , and again seventy-six years be
fore that. The astronomer concluded
that there would be a further delay
In its third return , and predicted that
its next appearance would be 518 days
later. He did not live to see It ; but
in 1758 , the year he had prophesied for
its reappearance , astronomers were
waiting for it.
But they waited for more than three
months before It did actually appear ,
and then found that it was the planet
Saturn they had to thank for delaying
the comet this extra hundred days.
This same comet appeared again In
1835 , this time late again. Not only
had Jupiter delayed it 518 days , and
Saturn about 100 , but Uranus had also
had a hand In retarding It , and had
added another sixty-nine days to its
Journey.
Our own earth is by no means' guilt
less. It is constantly picking up unconsidered -
considered trifles of Stardust , which
range all the way from the thirteen
foot long mass of meteoric rock lately
found by Professor Ward in Mexico ,
down to the infinitesimal particles
which are found on the roof of St.
Paul's , on the Arctic snows , and at
the bottom of the deep sea. It is cal
culated that the total amount of mat
ter thus absorbed by us is certainly
not less than 500.000 tons a year , and
that , therefore , the weight of this
world is increasing at that rate every
twelve months.
Itappears also that we may be occa
sionally responsible for the disappear
ance of a poor , unoffending comet.
Biela's comet , Avhich went astray , is
supposed to have been absorbed by the
earth. That amazing shower of shoot
ing stars , which was seen on Novem
ber 27 , 1872. may have been the death
throes of this misty space-traveler.

ILL-NATURED AT BREAKFAST.
Where Men Are Said to Differ from

"I think my business affords me the

her 'nerves , ' are much more good-tem

er test than at breakfast. I have no
reason to believe that my patrons dif
fer from the ordinary run of people ;
in fact , most of them are newspapei
men , who for the most part take life
as it comes without much complaint ,
and if you take them at dinner or al
night they are fine fellows and easj
to please ; but breakfast time is quits
another matter , and as friendly as J
am with my men customers , I cannot
recall one whom I would care to pro
voke before breakfast , for this is his
favorite time to register kicks. First ,
his very attitude signifies that the
waiter is too slow ; that he has been
there at least fifteen minutes without
being so much as seen by the waiter ,
and when the order Is finally brought
to him he's in a bad humor and finds
fault with everything placed before
him. The steak is sure to be too rare
or too well done and the eggs fried
only on one side , or because he prefers
them so they will upon this occasion
be cooked brown on both sides. But by
the time the first meal is consumed
and , having had a cup of good coffee ,
he then realizes that things were nol
half so bad and that he do < is feel bet

THEY ARREST A LUNATIC
MAN WITH REVOLVES M.VSTER
BAY TAKEN IN CKAhfiE.
Oyster Bay , L. I. Sept. 3. A man
giving his name as Henry Weilbreuer
was arrested at Sagamore Hill late.
Monday night while making a per-1
sistant demand to see President
RoosiTelt. The man was armed with
a revolver , fully loaded. He was taken
to the village and placed m the town
prison.
Shortly after 10 o'clock Monday
night Welbrenner drove to Sagamore
Hill in a phaeton buggy. He was
stopped by the secret service opera
tive on duty. VVeilbrenner sa d he had
a personal engagement with the pres
ident and desired to see him. As it ,
was long after the Jicurs when vis
itors were received , the officer de
clined to permit him to go to the
hou-e , the man insisted , but the
oilicer turned him away.
Soon afterward Weilbrenner re
turned , and again insisted that he be
allowed to see the president , if only
lor a minute. This time he was or
dered away and warned neb to return.
Just before 11 o'clock the man re
turned a third time and demanded of
the officer that h should be permitted
to see the president at once. The- -
officer's icsponse was to take the man
from h s buggy and put him in the'
stables , where he was placed under
the guard of two stablemen. A re
volver was found in the buggy. Later
Weilbrenner was brought to the vil
lage and locked upj He is five feet ,
eight inches high , twenty-eight years
of age , has a medium sized dark mus
tache , black eyes and evidently is of
German descent He resides in Sy-
osset , about five miles inland from
Oyster Bay. He was well dressed in
a suit of dark material and wore an
old-fas ioned derby hat. It is thought
by the officers that Weilbrenner was
accompanied by two other men , as
their footprints were found in the
mud alongside of the buggy tracks.
In view of this fact the officer on duty
telephoned to the village for assistance
and was soon joined by two other sec
ret service men.
While Weilbrenner talked ration
ally to the officers Monday night it
seems evident from his conversajion
today that he is demented. He said
that he had received telegraphic com
munication from the president di
recting him to call at Sagamore Hill.
His buggy was taken to the local liv
ery barn
When asked what had become of
the ri'j , Weildbrenner replied :
'Oh , the president h.-s taken care of
it ; hat's all right"
Weildbrenuer is regarded by those
who had seen him to be a dangerous
lunatic.
At 83 osset it is learned that the
man is the eon of a truck farmer , and
is one of three brothers , He has t o
sisters. The family is respectable
and is held in general esteem.
Weildbrenner , several yeais ago , had
a nervous artack which rendered him
mentally helpless -or a day or two , but
his family supposed that he had been
quite restore 1 by medical treatment
he received at that time. Since then
he had manifested no symptoms of
mental abberation. He had no social
istic or anarchistic tendencies so far
as kno-An , never having been inter-
es'ed in any question of the kind. He
was employed daily on his father s
farm.
Wei brenner was arraigned today
before Justice Franklin on comp aint
of the secret e vice operatives who
p aced him under arrest. Weilbren.
ner's brother William was present at
the examination.
Justice Franklin qu stione.d the
prisoner about his movements last
night. His replies were made in a
quiet tone of voice , but they indicated ,
apparently beyond a doubt , that the
man is crazy
When ask-d why he went to Saga
more Hl. ) he replied :
' 'I went to see the president about
his daughter Alice "
'Had you an engagement with the
presde ; t ? "
'Y 'S. "
' How was the encasement made ? "
"I talked with the president last
niyht , " replied Weilbrenner.
11 How did yon talk with him ? "
Oh , I just talked "
| CA s < > rt of a wireless talk , was it ? "
Yi s , that is ir , a wireltss talk. "
' Why riid you want to see the pres
ident about Miss Alice ? "
"I wanted to marry her. "
"Did you ever see Miss Roosevelt ? "
"Yes , Iaw her night before last. "
"Yes , 1 saw her night before last. "
"Where did you see her ? "
"At my home. "
"Did she go over there. "
"Yes. she came in a red auto mobile. "
"Who accompanied net ? "
"Her br ther Theodore. "
Justice Franklin after the examina
tion , concluded he would ho d Weil
brenner until an inquir of lunacy
could be held upon his case. Tue ex
amination then was postponed until
later.

Chicago. Aug. 31. Without a word
of warning two men were killed and
two others waunded by ho'd-up men
at the barns of the Chicago City Rail
way company , SixCy-first and State
streets , at an early hour yesterday.
The sh oting was done by th'ree men
who escap-d after securing $3,000.
Three of the men who were shot were
working in the cashier's office and the
ather was a motorman asleep in the
outer office. The men in the office
were shot before they were aware of
the robber's presence , and the motor ,
man was kil'ed as he was rising from
\ bench where he had been asleep-
The dead :
Frai k Steward assistant clerk in
cashiev's office , shot through body
while standing at his dek. } Died half
in hour later.
John E. Johnson , motorman , shot
through head died instantly.
Injured :
William B. Edmond , receiving clerk ,
; hot in left thigh while at his desk ,
will recover.
Henry Bici.ii. shot in the headT5ill
recover.
The robbers took no chances , but
disposed of all the opposition of the
employes before they entered the
office. Choosing the time when the
employes were busily engaged in bal-
incingupthe receipts of the night ,
just after the last , conductor had turn
ed in his money and left the barns ,
th-d robbers suddenly aopeared at the
receiving ; window and began shooting.
The firsc intimation those ins de the
Dfficehad that anything was wrong
was when they heard the shots. The
first bullet fired struck Stewart , and
he fell to the floor without a word.
B chl and Edmond , who were sitting
near Stewart , turned to see what was
bhe matter , but before they could
leave their chairs they were rendered
helpless by the well directed bullets
of the robbers. Johnson the motor- ;
manwho was asleep on a bench in the
Duter office , hearing the noise , started
to go to the assistance of his com
panions but was shot and killed be
fore he could get on his feet. Making
sure that all opposition had been re
moved the robbers then broke open
the door of the cashiers office with a
sledge hammer and secured $3,000 in
bills which were lying on the desk.
They then made their escape. ;
Four men were arres.ed three hours
if ter the robbery , on suspicion of be
ing implicated in the crime , but they
have not as yet been identified.
