1t was stated in the Montreal city
papers a day or two ago that Ar.
thur S. Mitrany, 35 years old, sup
posed to be u Spanish traveller, was
found drowned in the river at Pointe
aux Trembles on the I'd inst. and at
a coroner's inquest q verdict OF found
drowned was returned. These are
the bare facts: Arthur S. Mitrany
made his advent in Montreal in the
fall OF last year. He came introduc.
ed with good credentials from New
York firms, although his relationship
was not revealed. He was introduced
TO Prot. Lee Harris, to whom he said
he wanted q situation with merely
enough salary to pay his board. Prof.
Harris was greatly taken with the
young man, who could speak French.

and good English, and got him a place

ers, but paid his board with a com.
mendabie precision and promptitude.
For all his taciturnity he was liked.
His room was decorated with beauti-
tul photographs Of his people and his
country. and he had several trunks
full OF Eastern garments and relics.
For about six months Mitrany gave
satisfaction to everybody, and then,
on the 10th OF March, he disappeared.
On the 14th his employer, Mr.. Gal
legher, began to get anxious, and was
surprised when the Iandlady SAID he
had not been seen since the 10th.
1t was mentioned that Mitrany had
received several letters postmarked
"New York" recently, and might have
been called to that city for q week or
so, and, with his taciturn habit, had
neglected to mention it. On the I'd
inst, the body was found in the river
and on the Sd it was identified by sew.
eral friends. 1t is now supposed that,
as he had talked about going into
business in Laprairie. and, being short
sighted, had fallen into the river.
The theory of suicide is rejected be,
cause the young man was doing well
on every hand. Now comes in the
curious part OF the story. Mitrany's
father IS wealthy Roumanian no,

month an ambassador from the iath-
er at Roumania inquired at the Nc.
Gill street house for Arthur s. He
had been sent TO bring the young man
back to the splendor of the parental
estate. But at the time all that was
left OF the young man was floating
lifeless in the st. Lawrence.

DARING TRAIN ROBBERY.
A Train Held Up IN North Dakota BY
Two Masked Burglars.


Train robberies in the Dakotas are
not OF frequent occurrence, in fact no
more so than in more eastern and
more thickly settled PORTIONS OF the
north. But q robbery occurred at
New Salem, North Dakota, on the Sth

ance. Two miles west OF New Salem,
and twenty-five miles west of Mandan,
the engineer and fireman were sur.
prised by two masked men climbing
over the tender and ordering the train
stopped at the end Of big revolvers.
The summons was obeyed. Express
messenger Angevine, hearing enots
fired forward and suspecting some
thing, hid $500 in money from the
safe, locked the small safe, put out
the lights and ran back to New Salem.
The mail car was first tackled by the
robbers. Only one mail agent was in
the car and he Immediately obeyed
orders by turning over the mail mat
ter. A number OF registered letters
were ri1ed and then the two robbers
turned their attention to the express
car. This they found deserted, much
to their chagrin, and mistaking the
fireman for the express messenger,
they ordered him
AT THE POINT OF PISTOLS
to open the safes. He protested that
he knew nothing about it. and finally
satisfied the robbers. Then the train
backed to New Salem, and finally
came on east. The express messenger
remained lncognito, and got on the
train as it left New Salem. The pas.
sengers were not touched. One put
his head out OF the window during
the delay, but was told to get his
head back, and bullet whizzed past
his head "a q reminder that orders
had better be obeyed. A posse OF
men with the sheriff, mounted and
armed, Immediately left Mandan on
q special train for the scene oil the
daring robbery. The robbers com
pelled Engineer Kilmartln to break in
the door OF the postal car. Only
four masked men were seen at any
one time, and suspicious are rife that
only two were engaged in the work.
During the controversy in the mail
car the mask fell from the face of one
man, reported to be OF medium height
and build, light hair and with several
days growth OF light beard. The dis
trict around New Salem is peopled by
quiet, law abiding settlers. 1t is pre-
sumed to be the work OF people un-
known in that part OF the country.

BUSINESS AND HOME.

The disparaging remark is often
made, in various forms, that the
business is generally the slave OF
business, implying that his life is
sordid, matemalastic and barren.
Surely this is great mistake. made
through lack OF care and discern
ment.
In searching among the vast &C
tivities OF business we find many
worthy motives, some of them sub
lime, among the chief of which is
home.
Man without home is forlorn,
miserable creture. We call him
waif, an exile, prisoner, gally-
slave, vagabond or a tramp. He
moves before our eyes a greater
anomoly than the criminal.
According to their instincts birds
make nests, and beasts make dens
and burrows according to his
higher nature man makes homes.
In his lowest estate he occupies a
cave or hut; advancing, he pro-
duces the cottage, the mansion, the
palace and all through he displays
the home instinct and education.
Hir whole being cries out for home;
his lowest and his highest nature
require it, and in his most perfect
development he attains to a happi-
ness in it which is only less than
heaven.
The lion with terrific roar and
magnificent bound strikes down his
prey on the river bank or the plains
but he carries it to his lair where he
is tender to his mate and cubs, and
is fierce only to the intruder.
The bird with beautiful plumage
and melodious song flirts among the
trees and hops along the ground for
bug or berry, but carries his gains
to his nest, which he will defend in
the perfection of chivalry against
bird and beast of prey and proving
serpent.
The earth is given to man to yield
him obedience for his welfare, and
he ransacks it for the good it has for
him. He prizes into the secrets of
natures tremendous forces, masters
and uses them. He sets going vast
enterprises Of the NINE, the factory,
the laboratory, the store, the railway,
the ship, the farm and vineyard, the
flock, the held, the school, the press,
and the government. All this is
business, so important as to require
the full measure of man to rule it,
and the tribute of all he turns into
the Eden which he calls home.
No people equal the home circle
In the hearty appreciation of ones
achievements ''in the worlds broad
field of BATTLE" none give so well
come applause, and none afford the
same incentive to fresh and better
endeavor. If one acts less than a
man and draws upon him the suspi-
cions and frowns of honorable men,
or summons the lash of justice upon
him, none are so hurt as these of
home, who would have been so con-
tent with his honor if they could
not have sung his success. And
when as often happens, defeated,
broken, wounded, one retreats from
the battle with nothing but honor,
seeking healing, rest and strength,
homes tender sympathies afford
consolation and encouragement to
new essays beyond anything else,
excepting only Gods tender ner-
cies.
The supreme place of home in
the affairs of earth is clearly seen
and set forth by the great roman
GERS. Picturing life for amusement
only, or for didactic purposes only,
they could win no readers and gain
no end if homes importance were
ignorant
