Nice Times In New York.

As VIM. Schmidt, of West New York
was returning to his home early We'd
nesday morning, near the Grove Church
Cemetery, on the Bergenweod road, two
men sprang upon him from the side of
the road and dealt him a blow on
the head that feled him to the ground.
Another of the men pressed a hand
kerchief saturated with chloroform
to schmidt's nose and mouth until he
became insensible. They then rihed the
PROSTATE mans pockets, finding only a
few dollars and his watch, They
stripped him of his coat and vest and
ran away. Mr.. Schmidt was found lay
ing on the ground, and was taken to
his home. At noon he was in se-
r0us condition.

An ExplanAtlOn.


To THE EDIToR There appeared an
article in yesterdays issue of the
" Every Evening" headed Where is
J. Morris Jackson :" in which 1t states
that on the night Of June 9th she
(John's mother) saw a wagon drive up
to the door of Silas Pritchett's house,
9o2 Wilson street, and some parties
loaded, what seemed to be, an ice box
into 1t, and drove off. Now, this is a
mistake, and | desire that the public
know that the Silas Pritchett vino was
up on this case was not the Silas who
lives at 9O2 Wilson street, for the
Pritchett whom sac had up lived in the
basement of Mrs. Jackson's own house,

PROFITABLE STOCK INVESTMENTS.

Before Messrs. Lawrence s. Co., the
New York bankers, inaugurated the
combination system Of operating In
stocks, it was often very difficult for
inexperienced operators, or even old
stagers, to deal proftably by their single
handed ventures. Now the field is
open to every every one for successful
operations, and capital in any amounts,
from SO to $4,000. can be used with
equal proportionate profit. Instead Of dis
tracing efforts among many customers,
the orders of thousands are concern
trated into one vast pool and co-operat-
ed for the benefit Of all, dividing profits
pro rata every month. A prominent
citizen of San Francisco made 81 ,28i,-
SO from an investment of $500 last
month. Other customers are doing
better still S25 pays 1925 during the
month, $500 returns 81, 200, or 6 per
cent. on the stock, and so on as the
market moves. New circular contains
1.-TWO nnerring rules for ~success,n and
full Instructions for any one to operate

limited capital and manipulation are
secured by the combination method.

THIS is the ship canal building age.
The enterprises are confirmed 10 no
quarter Of the globe. Suez was first OF
the great schemes. Panama and Nic-
aragua are proposed. But meanwhile,
says an exchange, NJ. Daniloff has been
going quietly ahead with an engineer
ing scheme that is a good second to the
Panama tunnel and that fairly rivals
the Nicaragua ditch this isthe scheme
for establishing a connection between
the waters of the Black and Caspian
seas. The river Kauban and the river
Kuma, both lying close upon the 45th
degrees of north latitude, the one flow
ing west, the other east, almost inter-
mingle at their sources and can be
made nayigable for many miles at, a
comparatively small cost. These rivers
are to be dredged and united by a ca
nal; thus throwing open to commerce
the richest portion of Central Asia. 1t
Is a grand scheme that Mr.. Daniloff
has undertaken to develop, and one
that in the long run must exert a
highly beneficial influence upon the bar
barism Of the country that is to be
opened to the world. But, Russia's
military aspirations in this quarter be-
ing considered it Is a scheme that just
at present is open TO agood deal of sus-
picion. With the projected canal COM
pleted, troops could be landed within
four hundred miles Of Merv-and Merry
Is less than three hundred miles from
Herat, where the decisive battle be-
tween England and Russia for Asiatic
supremacy must be fought. But no
matter what may be the purposes in
view In building the canal, the fact re-
mains that NJ. Danlloff, as a canal
builder, Is in a fair way to eclipse his
rivals, the French vlscount and the
American admiral.
