Succi ended his 45 days fast in New York
last night, having lost much flesh and gained
little notoriety. The only fact which has been
shown is that man is capable of great endur-
ance; but this has often been demonstrated in
other and far more useful ways.

Did Not Suit the Time.

HUGH, OF Lincoln, was good bishop in a
bad time. He lived in day when the
princes of the church were fallen into such
sin that the most popular poem of the time
was fierce satire abusing all the prelates from
the pope down, called Bishop Goliath" He
was too good for the easy-lving laymen of
Lincoln, and they knew it. They wanted a very
different bishop. But the king was seized for
the moment with a reforming zeal; he desired.
he said, to appoint one bishop of whom his
Master might approve.
Hugh was such a good man that after he was
dead (that is the usual time) they called him
saint. And there we're SO many miracles done
at his tomb in of the side chapels of the nave
that they built long addition to the choir,
and, behind the altar. set the Bishops tomb
and put q fine shrine over it. The shrine is
gone, but the choir is there. the glory OF the
Cathedral The "angel choir" call it, because,
at the intersections of the arches, angels are
playing upon instruments Of music
There are two st. Hughs in the history of
Lincoln; the other is called Little St. Hugh"
His tomb is in the wall of the south choir-aisle.
Little ST. Hugh was small boy who is reported
to have been murdered by the Jews. He was
playing ball one day, the story goes and the
bali Gas balls willy tumbled over the wall Of the
neighboring garden. And when Hugh went
after it, the Jews daughter invited him into
the house. promising him candy, and he rever
came out again. The Jews kept him fer ten
days, and then crucified him. But his riother
got his body, and such funeral they mad in
the old church! They set the boy among the
martyrs: and in hundred ways they made the
Jews pay dearly for it. Probably, a lIel The
Jews were unpopular neighbors because they
were jews, people said; but really because they
were rich and prosperous, and everybody owed
them money 1t is sometimes good deal more
Anybody was willing to believe any bad thing
about Jew. However, here is the tomb.

Its Greatest Rishon

1T was about this time that Lincoln had her
greatest bishop His name was Robert
Grosseteste. he was one of the most notable
scholars of his age. He had written books
upon philosophy and mathematics and theo-
logy. Grosseteste had not been four weeks a
bishop before everybody in the diocese of
Lincoln knew 1t. First, and most of all, the
monks. Within the first year of his episco-
pate, he visited every monastery in his iuris-
diction. and at the end of the round seven
abbotts and 1our priors had been turned out of
their tat places, and better men set in their
room. That was labor of Hercules.
Bishop Robert had his greatest trouble with
his Cathedral. The common idea that Cathe-

DARING TRAIN ROBBERS.
Seven Outlaws Rife an Express
Car i'm Missouri.
The Bandits Secure Nearly $780,
600 and Then Escape.

A Missouri Pacific express train, bound
west loaded with heavy consignment Of
valuable express matter for the Western
coast, which is due to arrive in Sedalia, Mo-.
at three O'Clock A. u, was stopped by seven
masked highwaymen thirteen miles east
Of that city at a place known as Robbers
CUT and made famous by robbery
committed by the celebrated James \.
Younger's gang some years ago. The town
is named Otterville and isa watering station.
The express train was approaching the tank
when the engineer and fireman were startled
by cry of Hands upr' Turning, they
looked into the muzzles OF four revolvers
held by two masked men.
The train was stopped and lhe engineer
was compelled TO proceed with the bandits
TO the express car, while the remaining five
robbers three on one side of the train and
two on the other, held the passengers in awe.
The express messenger was ordered out,
and while one of the two held him covered
with his revolver the other entered the car
and took possession OF all the money in sight.
The messenger had not had time to close the
safe before he was captured. The robbers
secured about $50 600.
While the robbery was going on in the
express car the fireman of the locomotive
made bold attempt to warn the passengers,
but was promptly intercepted by the stand
ing guard. The conductor came upon the
scene, but being unArmed, beat a hasty re-
treat and warned the passengers 70 conceal
their valuables. But the robbers evidently
had no intention OF moleSting the occupants
or the cars, for upon securing all the wealth
in sight in the express car they jumped from
the train, and, ordering the engineer to pull
out stood with leveled guns until the train
had disappeared.
No attempt at resistance was male. Upon
the arrival of the express train at Sedalia,
Mo-, posse was Immediately organized, and
under charge of Railway Detective belong
and Sheriff Smith, Of Pettis County, went in
special train to the scene of the robbery. The
robbers were all afoot and the trail was fol-
lowed several hundred yards in the soft
earth to q point where the gang divided.
Bloodhounds were then procured and placed
on the trail. After following it up for some
time they stopped and refused to proceed
further The posse divided, and after a
mile had been passed over the trails led into
the woods and both were lost.
Horses were then secured and a complete
securing of the country began. 1t was
thought by many that some of the gang
were farmers living in the country about
Otterville and that the remainder were reg
ular highwaymen.
The chief who directed all the movements
of the band was tall slender, yet wiry man.
1t is evident the robbery was planned by one
well acquainted with the running of trains
on the Missouri Pacific, as the train usually
carries valuable express packages from the
Fast.
