throughout the county have abandoned

Cards at El Paso on the 10th, succeeded
in making his escape to Messilla, where
he still remains. Cards is said to have
been le der of the mob, who were all
more desperate and threatening in con-
sequence of his death. The Sheriff of
Ell Paso is also at Messilla, but refuses to
return with Howard, as the latter would
be killed Immediately by the mob, while
the Sheriff himself will be killed if he
dares to return without Howard. Lieut..
Paine, who is in charge of detachment
of troops, says four companies will be re

SHOWS WHATqHE PEOPLE THINK

The Ohio election shows what the
people of that State think of the Repub-
iican party and the President it put into
office by shameless fraud. Every effort
to carry the State was made. Judge
West was neutral candidate, and if he
had few enthusiastic supporters, he had
no enemies in the party, like Judge Taft
and his other rivals. The platform was
a SCOOP net calculated to draw in every
body. Stanley Matthews and Garfield
swallowed their personal animosities and
electioneered for the ticket. John Sher-
man kicked the Civil Service order un-
der the table, and rushed to the Ohio
stump. Hayes followed his Minister,
held receptions and levees, made char
acteristic little speeches, Cheered his sup
porters, and assured everybody he would
sooner lose every State in the Union
than his own. The East was appealed to
for money to carry on the canvass, and
responded with the sinews of war. And
the result is tie utter discontinue Of the
Republicans, and the election Of Bishop
and a Democratic Legislature.-M T.

DARING HIGHWA YMEN.
Mrs. Phil. Teman attacked By FOotpads
and Robbed of 81, 100 Worth Of Dia'
mOndS.
From the Cincinnati EnQuirer.l

Highway robbery in the immediate
vicinity of the city is becoming most
alarmingly frequent. Hardly a week
passes but that daring attempt OF this
kind is reported to the police. Only last
week a farmer was attacked near Oakley,
and milkman was shot at on the War
saw pike. Yesterday a lady was way
laid on the Reading road and robbed of
diamonds and jewelry worth over one
thousand dollars. If few Of these gem
try could be captured and hung to the
nearest tree, it might have a wholesome
tendency to persuade their brethren in
crime to turn their thoughts toward safer
paths of life.
Mrs. Phil. Tieman, wife Of the we'll
known billiardist, was the victim yester-
day. Thursday is visiting day for the
parents and friends of the young lady
pupils of Reading Convent school, and
Mrs. Tieman drove out in the afternoon
to visit her daughter, Carrie, who is IT
tending school at the Convent. She
went alone, though at other times she
has been accustomed to take her elder
daughter, Ella, with her. About five
o'clock in the evening, as the dusk OF
the cleaning was settling down over the
country, she left the convent and started
homeward. She was driving slowly
along the road, about a mile north of the
Catholic Orphan Asylum, when sudden
lv two negroes sprang from the bushes
along the roadside. One seized the
horses reins, and the other pointed a
pistol at the lady's head, at the same
time forbidding her to make a noise,
under penalty of being shot. They then
ruthlessly tore her shawl from her
shoulders and wrested from her neck q
gold chain worth $125 In the next mo-
ment they ripped from her hands her
gloves, and made her take from her I'm
gers to deliver to them two diamond
rings, worth ST. 100. One was solitaire
and the other cluster. Luckily she
had left her diamond ear rings and cross
at home. Her pocket book was torn
asunder, a few dollars in money taken
from it, and the portemonnaie empty
thrown back into her face. The robbers
then left her, after having torn her
clothes almost off her person. Mrs. Tie
man was too much frightened to raise
an alarm or to make any resistance
When she recovered sufficiently, she
drove rapidly to the city and informed
her husband Of the robbery, who laid
the facts before the police authorities
The supposition is that the robbers
knew Mrs. Tieman, and were acquainted
with her habit of visiting her daughter
every Thursday, and that she always
wore more or less jeWelry. Moral: La
dies, never go into the country wearing
valuable jewelry.

ALAWYER IN JAIL.
An Arrest That Has Set he Members Of The
Bar to Talking.


A few DAYS ago an execution was grant
cd by the Supreme Court OF New Jersey
directing the Sheriff Of Passaic county 10
hold the body of Albert Comstoek, oi
Paterson, in custody unless he paid ove'
TO persons 10 whom 1t was due some $SOO'
Mr.. ComstoCk is one Of the ablest lawyers
At the Paterson bar, and has been highly
esteemed, not only by his professional
associates, but by all who knew him II
was alleged by those who Instituted the
suit against him, that he had collected
the money and had not paid 1t over, and
the execution was for contempt OF Court
in not obeying its mandate TO pay IT,
Sheriff Blundell informed Mr.. Comstock
that he had an execution, and Mr.. Com
stock promised to pay the money Sept.
lst but failed TO do 80. He madeseveraI
more promises, and the Sheriff told him
if he did not keep the last, he should be
obliged to imprison him.
On Thursday afternoon the Sheriff
went to Mr.. Comst0ck's office, and pay,
ment being again refused, the Sheriff
said he must take him TO jail. and open
ed the door Of Comstock's office. Com
stock said nothing, and the bberif turn
ing to see whether he was following, saw
him standing in the middle Of the room
with a cooked revolver pierced at his
temple. He was very pale, but his eyes
glittered in such way as to show that
he was desperate.
"What are you going to doP" the sher-
if asked.
II am not going to jail" answered Com
stock. "If you stir | shall blow my brains
out" and his finger nerVously twitched
about the trigger.
"Put that pistol into your pocket, Mr..
Comstock," said the Sheriff.
"No. Ifyou really mean to shut ME
in jail, shall pull the trigger"
"Will you pay the money tomorrow
morning, if l give you that timer asked
the Sheriff.
am try to-" answered ComstoCk, eag
erly. II do not want to take my life,
but had rather do that than go to jail"
"Very well; I'll give you till Friday
morning"
With that Comstock put his pistol on
the table and thanked the Sheriff, but
the latter in an instant jumped to the
table, seized the revolver, and collaring
Mr.. Comstock, took him to Jail, although
he demonstrated, and said the disgrace
would kill him. The revolver had seven
cham bers, all loaded.
At the Jail Mr.. Comstock said If he was
to shut up no exception should be made
in his case. He should be served as all
other prisoners were. and he was.
The lawyers in Paterson feel that ex
trene measures we're taken with Mr..
Comstock, and say that the moneys due
him from his debtors were not paid, so
that he was unable to meet his liabilities
when due. The probabilities are that
the lawyers in Paterson will makeup the
amount themselves and pay it, thus re-
leasing Mr.. ComstOCk.

OLD SAYINGS BANKS.

The Bank for Savings in the city Of
New York was chartered in 1919. 1t is
now So years old. 1t has gone success
fully through three great financial revo-
lutions-1837, 1857, 1873. 1t is 49 years
older than the oldest National bank. 1t
has during its existence paid to its de-
positors probably thirty million Of dol
lars in the way of dividends. 1t has sur
yived several banking systems. and now
has 66 thousand depositors, with an ag-
gregate deposit of over twenty-one mill
lions.
The "Provident Institution for Saw
ings in the town of Boston" is still older.
1t was chartered in 1916. 1t has now
been in successful operation for 81 years
Its depositors, according to the last re-
port (l877), numbered 81 thousand, and
its deposits amounted to l6 millions
The Salem Savings bank, Of Salem,
Mass, was incorporated in 1918, and now
has sixteen thousand depositors, and six
millions of deposits. The Society for
Savings at Hartford, Conn.,, commenced
business in 1919. 1t has gone through
all the panics, and now has twenty-three
thousand depositors and eight millions
of deposits. The Savings bank of New.
port R. l., was incorporated in 1910, and
now has five thousand depositors and
four millions of deposits.
In New England and New York there
are now nearly eight hundred savings
banks, with larger aggregate deposit
than the entire capital of the National
banks of those States. It is estimated
by competent authority that the loss to
the depositor by reason of failure or mis-
management, has been less than one one
hundredth Of one per cent. of the
amount deposited, or in other words, less
than ten cents for every one thousand
dollars deposited, while the amount paid
to the depositors in the way of dividends
now exceeds twenty million dollars per
annum. These banks have not only
been of great benefit to the working men
of those States. by encouraging them to
economiZe and accumulate, but they
have concentrated the small sums Of the
communities in which they were located,
and made them useful in starting manu-
factories, stimulating all manner of in
dustries, and furnishing work and homes
for the people.

The first days travel only gave us ten

the place and succeeded in getting at the
dead bodies. He said we had chosen for
our enCampment spot directly over a
narrow chasm, and as the snow was re-
moved little by little, it finally gave way,
precipitating the party down to the very
bottom, and dashing them against the
craggy sides.

SALARIES OF LEADING NEWSP4-
PER MEN.

The leading editorial writers on the
London Times get 1000 guineas per an.
mum, which is pretty salary. The larg.
est salaries paid in America are not quite
equal to this. DIR. Connery, the manag-
ing editor of the New York Herald re-
ceives $4,000; Whitelaw Reid, of the N.
Y. Tribune $4,000; Charles A. Dana of
the N. Y. Sun $4,000, besides his profits
as stock owner; Hurlbut of tie World
$4,000. The Boston newspapers pay
we'll. Hascall of the Herald gets $4,000
and has just received years leave of
absence to go to Europe, his salary being
continued. The Western press pay fair
salaries. The leading editorial writer on
the Chicago Times gets $4,000, and the
managing editor $4,000; Watterson of the
Courier Journal $500, and sn interest
in the profits; Sheehan of the Chicago
Tribune $4,000. The largest sum paid in
America to any editorial writer is that
received from the New York Herald by
Charles Nordhof. He gets $4,000 a
year, and writes when and what he
pleases.

relations furnished me with opportunities to
