Daring Exploit of a Masked Robber

N00DS
MILWAUKEE, May 9.-Shortly after .
o'clock this morning the residence OF
Charles Ray, president of the Sentinel
company, on Prospect avenue, was the
scene of a bold and successful robbery.
Awaking from a sound sleep at the hour
named, the head servant girl employed in
the residence became aware of the pres
ence Of a man in her room. The fellow
was not in the least disconnected by her
waking up. He wore a mask, and carried
a revolver with which he threatened her
and the other servant girls. Under com
pulsion the servants gave the man all the
money their purses contained. But after
securing it, and heaping it up on a table
before their eyes, the man gave it back to
them, saying that he didn't want it; that
it was Mr.. Rays money he was after, not
theirs. He then forced one of the girls
to accompany him to the door of Mr..
Rays sleeping chamber, and, hay
ing awakened him by rapping
loudly, to declare that she was
very alarmingly ILL The moment that
the door was opened, and the masked
man took his revolver off her the girl
shrieked 'Burglarsl' in a frantic effort
to warn Mr.. Ray; but it was too late, as
the intruder at once forced his way into
the room, and placing the muzzle Of his
revolver in close proximity to Mr.. Rays
head, demanded his money and valuables.
Resistance being out of the question, Mr..
Ray played the part of the hospitable en-
tertainer, and responded to thief's de-
mand by yielding up a check on the
Northwestern Fuel company for 80, the
costly gold watch and chain which he
has been accustomed to carry, a set Of
belonging to Mrs. Ray, an over
coat and a few dollars in money. The
GOODNESS of the thief took a new turn
when he had secured his plumber. He
forced Mr.. Ray to accompany him to the
outer door and open the door for him.
He had effected his entrance to the
house through a window. The police
were informed Of the crime directly by
telephone, but up to a late hour this af-
the burglar had not been arrested.
1t is conjectured in police circles that he
took an early train to Chicago.

Secretary Manning's Appoint

menus
WASHINGTON, May 9.-Secretary
Manning to-day requested the resignation
of Col. 7. N. Burrough of the bureau of
engraving and printing. o. Z. Graves,
assistant treasurer of the United States,
has been appointed to fill the vacancy.
Graves entered the treasury department
in 1868 at 81 1000 a year. He served as
chief clerk of the department, as super
intendent of the national bank Of re-
demption agency, and as assistant treas
urer. He was also made chief examiner
Of the civil service commission under
President Grant, and in 1877 was a mem
Der of the commission appointed to reor-
ganize the bureau of printing and engrav-
ing. By this reorganization the expenses
OF the bureau decreased several hundred
thousand dollars. The appointment is a
promotion for Graves, his salary being
$1,000 more per year than that of assist
ant treasurer. He voted for Mr.. Cleve-
land The bureau of engraving and
printing has about 200 employees, but
twelve of whom come under the provis-
ions of the civil service law. They are
appointed by the chief of the bureau.

Englishmen familiar with the story Of

Englishmen familiar with the story OF
the annexation of Merry, think they I'M
derstand what the Russians mean when
they speak of local tribes asking" for
the protection of the car. There is a
shrewd suspicion afioat that the importu-
nate asking for protection by the Meryii,
which the car had no heart to withstand,
was o quite proprio n,otu. These ex-
pressions of opinion and belief on the part
of the Russians who have access to the
Russian embassy are a fair reflex of the
tone of De Stalls recent communication to
Earl Granville. The practical upshot of
the whole matter is that Russia refuses to
enter into o treaty fixing a definite limit
to her territory and binding her to a
maintenance of the frontier 50 fixed, I'M
less the rule of the ameer shall be so
kept within the line of the frontier
all tribal disturbances will be prompt
" repressed, collisions between the
Saruks and Afshans prevented, and order
at Herat preserved.

WINNIPEG, May 9.-No report has
come from Batouehe regarding any en-
gagement between Middleton and Riel,
though a decisive battle was expected to-
day. The wire tonight ceased working
north of Qu-Appelle. The operator at
Clarke's Crossing reported this morning
that a noise resembling cannon firing had
been heard in the direction of Batouche,
but considered it impossible that cannon
could be heard at that distance.

Delays in Settlement With Russia.
LONDON, May 9.-The arbitration
scheme is not making rapid progress to-
ward a consummation, although Russia
has not receded from her agreement to
submit the question in dispute to arbitra-
ton, yet it is announced that delay is
likely to occur in the preliminary stages
of the affair. Before arbitration is pos
sible, it is necessary for both cabinets to
agree upon the specific details to be sub
mitted to an arbitrator. This may con-
sumo considerable time.

A Row in the General Land Office.
WASHINGTON, May Col D. A.
Hanna, formerly collector for Alaska, and
for the last two years special timber agent
o fthe land office at Carson City, New,
to-day swore out a warrant in the police
court for the arrest of Commissioner
Sparks, of the land Office, on the charge
of personal assault. Col. d. A. Hanna's
version of the affair is that he called upon
the commissioner to day to secure a settle
ment of his accounts as special agent,
which had been suspended with all ac-
counts of other agents, pending investiga-
ton by the commissioner. He was on
leave of absence and told the commits
sioner he was in financial distress and
asked to have his accounts passed, so he
might get his pay, which had been with
held for several months. The commits
sioner Indignantly exclaimed he had no
time to look into individual cases, and
ordered the colonel out of the room. The
colonel protested against his treatment,
Nucus uc says, lnc commissioner SpThDB
up, seized him by the throat, tore the
buttons off his coat, and called up mes
sengers to eject him. The colonel was
elected and went Immediately to the police
court and obtained his warrant. He says
he carried a loaded cane, with which he
could easily have disabled the commits
sioner, but RETAINED from striking him,
out of consideration of his family.
Commissioner Sparks stated in an in
terview with an Associated Press reporter,
that he had been harrassed for some time
past by the opportunities of Col. Hanna
to have his accounts allowed. To-day he
had no time to listen to him, and told him
50, when Hanna became abusive, cursed
and swore, and was ordered out Of the
room. He continued this abuse, and was
finally elected, partly through the com
missioner's efforts. When the matter
was made known to Secretary Lamar he
showed signs of annoyance, but made nc
comment.

A Broken Heart.

a few months ago gentleman presented
NJ. Perkins, No. 39I Detroit street. Cleye-
land, with very tractable pup. The little
fellow learned tricks rapidly, and developed
degree of affection surprising even i'm a
dog. He would lie in his corner and sulk
for days after a cross word or any lack
of attention. Every morning he went up
stairs to awaken his master, and go
through his repertOry of tricks. A few
days ago boy sold Perkins little black
and-tan puppy, quick saucy and intelligent
1t learned more in a week than its prede-
cessoT, Jack. had been able TO learn in his
lifetime. Naturally enough Mouse, the
newcomer, put Jacks nose out of joint.
Jack would thrust himself in and claim the
careSses intended for Mouse, but it was no
use. One day Jack was sternly ordered to
go away. He sadly retreated TO his corner,
and lay there moaning for days. Occa-
sionally he would stagger out and gaze up
into the face of his master with a look of
indeScribable sorrow, but when Mouse
came frisking about he would crawl away
to his corner and resume his low whining
and moaning. 1t was supposed that he was
suffering from disease, but a dog doctor
failed to find what was the matter He
prescribed beef tea, but Jack continued to
refuse to eat Yesterday Jack reeled up TO
his master and made a feeble attempt to
perform the tricks that had once been the
delight OF the small boys of the neighbOr-
hood. An autopsy by the doctor revealed
no appreciable cause for his death, and it
seemed clear to all that he had died of a
broken heart.

Webster and His Money.
From Perley's "reminiscences.

From Perley's "reminiscences.
Mr.. Augusta Peabody, who was con-
nected with Mr.. Webster in the business of
his law Office in Boston, used to relate that
on one occasion Mr.. Webster had made all
his preparations for a summer tour in his
own carriage with his wife, and had drawn
the money for his travelling expenses out
of the bank the day before his intended
departure. The next morning the New
York mail brought letter to Mr.. Web
ster, inclOsing check for $500 as
a retainer in a great land case TO which Mr.
AStor was one of the parties. This letter,
with its Enclosure, Mr.. Peabody took down
to Mr.. Webster's house, and found him
already seated in his carriage, about to take
the road TO Saratoga, He gave him the
letter, and asked him to mdorse the check.
But Webster put the check in his pocket,
with the remark that lac might need it be-
fore he returned, and 50 it turned out
When he came back 10 Boston the whole of
the 81, 500 had been spent, in addition to
the money he. had previously drawn.
On another occasion Mr.. Webster had
invited some friends to dinner. As
he left home in the morning he requested
his wife to send John down to the office
about 10 o'clock to 90 10 market with him.
ster was busy writing. he asked John if
he had any money. John replied in the
negative. Then" said Mr.. Webster, ''go
down to Mr.. Burritt and ask him to lend
me So" (Burritt was q stationer in the
lower stOry.) John came back and stated
that Mr.. Burritt had not So, but sent him
$40, which Webster took and put in his
waistcoat pocket. Pretty soon a poor
woman came in on an alms-aSking errand.
Said Webster, still writing, Il know all
about il; you've lost your husband
and have five small children and nothing to
eat. Take this" and he gave her the SO
note which John had borrowed from Mr.
Burritt. BY and by he finished his work
and remarked To his servant; Now, John.
Wen 20 down 10 the market Down they
went through Court and Washington streets
and Dock square to the Quincy market, be-
low Fanueil hall. Mr.. Webster bought of
the butchers at the south end of the market
what suited him, but made no payments, as
he had accounts with them. At last they
reached vegetable dealer, of whom Web
ster also made purchase, and was about
TO pass on as before when the faithful
John arrested him with the remark: ''Mr.
Webster, this man is stranger to US; we
never had dealings with him." True, :"
said the great lawyer, very true;T and
put his hand in his pocket for the money 10
pay the amount Finding none, he said to
his servant; John, thought you gave me
some money just nOw?" so l did, sir, :"
said John, ''but you gave it TO that poor
woman who came into the Office" ''AhIn
said Webster, so did, but had forgot
ten all about it. Well, John, you must
borrow some more money and come down
and pay these people; and now we will go
home"

COUNTING THE NOSES
I'm Minneapolis and 81. Paui--Reve-
Iarfonx Of One of the TeIIers.


1.-THE result of the enumeration of Min
neapolis, which was expected on July 1,
may not be made public until the snow
falls" said gentleman connected with the
taking Of the census in response to a Ques-
ton by GLOBE reporter. You have no
idea of the labor involved. 1t is very diff
ferent from the compilation of directory,
involving more details and requiring sum-
nlaries and recapitulations without end.
The SHOW fall expression l used above is
only figure of speech, implying that I
cannot tell just when the enumeration will
be complete"
There are rumors that the work is not
being thoroughly done. What do you say
to that?"
ut is all bosh, and originated with some
Over-patriotic citizen who was afraid Min
neapolis would not sufficiently head st.
Paul. There is no talk of that kind that
does not reach our ears, you NAV be sure.
You see, the report has become current in
Minneapolis that in st. Paul the enumera-
tors are moving heaven and earth to lead
Minneapolis, and while over there the same
thing is said of Minneapolis, and one is
about as true as the other-Or as untrue,
would be better. To return to your QueS-
tlon, think the census is being as well Ia
ken as practicable, for no census is entirely
complete. Minneapolis is especially diff
cult TO take, from the fact that such an I'M
nense proportion of her people are young
men, without families, hidden away in up
per rooms of business blocks. They board
around at different restaurants and eating
houses, where their names are unknown
and even their landlords or landladies could
give no information. l have no doubt
large numbers of these will be missed. from
sheer necessity, and also that many resi-
dents, now about will be overlooked, but
still, not more Of them than will be always
missed. l will say, however, that extraor-
binary pains are being taken to miss no
body and to make fair and square enumer-
alton of those people properly to be TAKEN"
Can you estimate the probable result?"
eyes, but it would be a mere estimate
and not specially to be relied upon. Don't
bet on it. The population Of Minneapolis
will be between IS, 900 and $50, 000."
You surprise me! And st. Paul, in your
judgment, will run how many?"
''COnScientiously can make the same
reply, but please regard it as confidential.
And say, before you go, you might say in
the GLOBE that if anybody thinks he has
been overlooked he might drop in and as
certain.
