A New York Central Express Held Up BY
Robber.

aRobber.
SYRACUSE, NY, Oct. III A. Moore,
the messenger on the American Express
car, robbed yesterday morning on the
Central Road, formerly lived in this city,
where he was night clerk in the COM
pany's office up to year ago. Since
then he moved with his wife to Buffalo
According to Moore's story the rob-
berry occurred just east of Utica, at 1 a.
m. The messenger suddenly saw a mask
ed man standing over him with two re-
volvcrs pointed at his head The rob-
ber's only words with Moore were: 'It's
money Pm after; we're coming into
Utica"
Moore was taken by surprise, and, as
the robber had taken his revolver, had
to give up the key of the safe. Moore
says that when the robber secured his
revolver he fired three times, none Of tn G
bullets hitting Moore, however. The
robber ransacked the safe, taking thos Q
packages he thought contained valuables.
The messenger managed to thrust a
$4,000 money package behind the safe,
which the robber did not find.
Packages containing jewelry and 9th err
valuables were taken. The robber was
short and slim and wore dark clothes. A
slight dark mustache showed through
his mask. When the fellow was ready,
he gave a signal to the engineer to slow
down. He gave another signal for the
train to go ahead, and then jumped.
The amount stolen is said to be up in
the tens of thousands of dollars. Moore
declares that while the man who did the
actual robbng was at work with one
hand among the packages, and held a
revolver in the other hand pointed at
Moore, another man with a revolver was
at the hole in the end of the car.

FIowars at Death.

Why should you carry white flowers to the house of death, save, indeed, it be a little child that has died? Is not death colder itself than any ice flower and winter than any snow? Why not bring crimson roses and pile them about those cheeks from which the roses have fed, that they may catch something of their oldtime glow? Why not lay claret car nations near those dear lips and heap blood-red poppies in the cold hands and on the colder breast that they may at least seem to press little warmth there? And about that brow, that was for so long a time the home of 2. tender soul, put white narcissus blooms with their hearts of gold; aud cover over the sle1l der body dswn t. the quiet feet with the wild pink roses that she so loved. Dc not let your last remembrance of her be of something all white, all cold, but let little warmth go with her even into the grave.-Ella Higginson in West Shoro

Why PianOs GiNe Ont.

In musical colleges, where children be. ginning to learn practice for eight hours mostly on the middle strings, the piano wears unevenly and is quickly beaten out of tune. Exposure to damp air and draughts will cause the strings to rust and the keys to stick; hard and unrea- sonable pounding, which is not playing, may put piano out of tune. The greatest abuse with which 8 piano has to contend, according to the best author ities, is the exposure to dry heat from furnaces and anthracite stoves. This causes the wood parts to shrink and the sounding board to relax and lose it's power, the action rattles and the whole instrument becomes inharmonious and scordant.-Interview in Seattle Tele- graph

Advice.

The following is a translation of 8 Chinese joke: Two brothers cultivated the same plot of land. One day the eld- est, on leaving to get the dinner ready, called to his brother to come with him. He, however, shouted out, at the top of his voice, "Wait until have hidden my spade, and then I will come" While they were having their meal the other reproached him bitterly for this indis- cretion. "When one hides a thing" said he, ''one ought to preserve silence, or at any rate not speak above whis- per, for in shouting as you did just now one invites people to steal" Dinner over, the younger brother returned to the field, looked for his spade and found it gone. So running to his brother he whispered mysteriously In his ear, My spade is stolen!'

HEIGHT OF CRUELTY Nervous women seldom receive the sympathy they de- serve. While often the pictures of health, they are constantly ailing. To withhold sympathy from these unfortunates is the height of cruelty.
