The New York Commercial says it is
mistake to suppose that criminals of
the higher grade--!ikc burglars, forgers
and bank robbcrs-arc coarse, ignorant,
vulgar men. If they were they would
not succcc |. Their disho Ic't trade re-
quircs intelligence, mental training and
large amount OF self-rcstraint. Many of
them have been clever mechanics, while
some are cultured and of good anteccd-
ents. Louis C. Clermont, the notorious
bank robber, who died three years ago,
was southerner by birth, his parents
being rich and higaly respectable. He
was college graduat,, but being with
out principle and extravagant, his father
got tired of furnishing him with money,
and he determined to get it for himself
by what he thought the easiest means.
He became acquainted with several
notorious forgers AMI check raisers,
adopted their calling, and profted
by it. He went abroad and
in Germany fell in with Max Shinburn,
noted bank robber, who got rich by
plying his profession here, crossed the
sen, purchased the title of la:oa and
settled down as member of the old
aristocracy. Clermont probably gained
valuable knowledge from Shinburn. He
returned to his native land, took up his
abode in Philadelphia, and, by his hand.
some person, agreeable manners and
bright conversation, gained some social
position. He assumed to be q Cuban
refugee, and his dark eyes, hair and
complexion, with his fluency in Spanish,
assisted the assumption. He paid court
to a pretty widow, Mrs. Joseph Dumet
and married her. Tney decided to GO
abroad for bridal tour. She got hcl
valuables, together with $1,000 in cash,
aud they were ready to start, when he
asked her to carry note somewhere fol
him, while he took charge of her things.
When she returned, he had disappeared.
He was engaged in several bank rob
berries afterward, under the name Of
Colonel Ralph Pollard, formerly of the
Louisiana Tigers. In one OF these hs
was arrested, sent to prison for twelve
years, aud ended his life there.

We are two travellers, Time and I,

And since he hailed mo at my birth,
We've always be n together.

And helped my toiling footsteps climb
The hills of right endeavor.

In his new comedy of Ia, it is said Sol
Smith Russell keeps his audience in a
constant state of laughter. The new play
takes immensely wherever he has APP
peared this season, and a rich treat is in
store for our theater goers at the opera
house next Tuesday. Cal Wallace, of
Philadelphia, is the author, and he has
done good work There is a breeziness
and a pure, clean, wholesome fun per-
meating the play, and ripping through
every line and bit of business in it, that is
delightfully."- refreshing. Sol Smith Rus
sell will introduce a fine lot of new songs
and specialties and the stage settings are
said to be very elaborate and novel.
Among the specialties Sol Smith Rus
sci introduces in his play of Fa are It's

their Pa and Mr.. Harrigan's latest

The Philadelphia Press has the follow
ing to say about Aimee, who appears at

Aimee is the card at the Arch. Her
piquant face, sweetly piping voice and
clever French m~annerisms are to be seen
in Mam'=eH,, which very bright comedy
has proved her saiehold ever since she re-
lmquished the lyric for the dramatic
boards. She is popular because there is
but one Aimee, and nobody has succeeded
in counterfeiting her. ''Toinette Jacotot'
is a creation that is unique and always de-
lighttul. The brilliant French comedl-
enne has a lot of new songs to be
sprlnkled through the play,

a NARROW ESCAPE.
Rescued From what Might Have Been
a Horrible Death.

About ) O'Clock yesterday afternoon Il
horse attached to a Wyoming commission
house delivery wagon became unmanagea
bic and ran at full speed with the wagon
containing the driver, up Ferguson street.
At the corner of the court house the front
wheels of the wagon became detached,
leaving the remainder of the wagon on
the corner, but in some manner the driver
became entangled with the lines and was
ierked out OF the wagon bed and dragged
behind the now terrified horse. The acci-
dent was witnessed by Deputy Sheriff
McGonigle, who, seeing a horse hitched
in front of the court house, Immediately
cut the strap which held him and jump
ing upon his back pursued the runaway
horse. While in the saddle Joe united
the rope which was hanging on the pom
mel, and catching up with the runaway
horse he threw the rope around his neck
and managed to stop him, thereby saving
the man who was being dragged from
serious injury, if not death.

Slow Torture the Best.

The fate of the Indians captured In the
Miles campaign Is practically settled. 1t
was not decided when they were first sent
east whether any Of them would be tried
for their crimes or not. The president has
examined the case very carefully and has
come to the conclusion that life confine-
ment for all Of these Indians In Florida,
where they can do no harm, will be the
most thorough punishment which con be
visited on them. 1t Is the only practical
way by which they can be punished. IL
the criminals among them were to be sim
have any authority to try them. They
would have to be turned over to the civil
authorities In the place where the crimes
were committed. 1t would be q travesty
on justice to have these Indians tried In
Arizona or New Mexico. There is not q
white man in either one Of those terrific
ries who could sit In a case involving the
ness. The conviction of the criminals
would leave their families untouched.
These families would train mp children to
revenge the deaths of those who were pun
ished, and the result would be a coptinu-
alton of the outlawry which for years has
territories. The removal of the Indians to
Florida takes away nearly all the families
and leaves no stock to breed robbers and
assassins for tho future.
As a matter OF fact the 500 Indians trans
ferred to Florida have been sentenced TO q
lingering death. They have been brought
up In the mountain countries, accustomed
attitudes. Their transfer 70 and confine-
ment In the warm climate Of Florida will
simply result In their dying of like 30
many sheep. Experienced army officers
do not think that there will be one of them
alive 1T the end Of tho next I've years
