A Philosophers Opinion.

Voltaire said to a beautiful young lady
with whom he was dining. "Your rivals are
the perfection of art; you are the perfection
of nature" Tn could not have been said
if the young was suffering from disease, and
pain had left its signs on the features. Mo.
men who want to keep beautiful, and be the
perfection of nature" should use "FavOrite
Prescription" to assist nature when needed,
to correct irregularities, aid circulation and
digestion, and thereby clear up the skin,
rendering it soft and beautiful. DIR. Pierce's
Fovorite Prescription is the only medicine
for woman's peculiar ills, sold through
druggists, and guaranteed to give satisfac-
tion in every case, or money refunded.

One of Machias' old sea captains, while
en- route to the West Indies, had been
becalmed for several days off Hatteras;
he had prayed for wind, he had sworn
for wind, but the wind came not At
last he thought he would try another
scheme, so he kissed a silver twenty-five

BOLD TRAIN ROBBERY.
A New York Express Train CIev-
erly Looted.

cry AOOIeu.
ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Sept. SO.-A train
robbery with nearly all, the thrilling
features that accompany such events in
the wild West, took place this
morning on Central Hudson rail-
road train between Albany and Little
Falls. 1t happened about l O'Clock
this morning on Train No. 81, n solid
American Express train of six cars,
which left New York at $50 o'clock
last night bound for Chicago. At the
hour named u. A. Nj oore, of Buffalo, a
trusted messenger of the express COM
pany who has been In its employ fifteen
years, suddenly realized the fact that a
stranger stood over him with two re-
yolvers pointed at his head and de-
manded the surrender of his revolver
and the key of the safe.
The robbers only words with Moore
were: tits money Pm after, you id
fool; we're coming into Utica" Moore
was taken wholly by surprise, and, as
the robber had taken his revolver, had
to give up the key. The robber then
opened the safe, took out all the money
1t contained, and jumped off the train,
having FIRST given signal to the engi-
neer to slow down. When he was
ready to jump he gave another signal
jumped and started in nOrtherly di-
rectlon.
AS soon as possible Moore made
known to the other men on the train
what had taken place, and they made
search to see how the robber got into
the car. There was no mystery about
it, for hole large enough to admit a
mans body was cut through the for
ward end OF the car. 1t was about six
teen inches square, and had been cut
with an augur and saw. Once the in
truder got inside, he was con-
cealed from the messenger by
the freight. He waited until Moore
was making out certain way bills and
had him covered with the pistols and at
his mercy. The car that was robbed
was the last one in the train, and it is
believed by the express people that the
robOer had some experience as rail-
road employe from the fact that he was
able to give the right signals on the air
whistle for slowing and starting the
train.
The train arrived in this city only a
few minutes behind its regular time
and Messenger Moore gave tine above
report. He had suffered no violence,
but was badly frightened. The exact
amount Of money taken by the robber is
not known. but from the nature of the
packages the express company say that
it is less than $1,000. The robber ran
sacked the safe. taking those packages
he thought contained valuabIes. Moore
managed to thrust a $1,000 money pack
age behind the safe, which the robber
did not find.
Moore also declared that while the
man who did the actual rObbing was at
work with one hand among the pack
ages and held revolver in the other
hand pointed at Moore, another man
with a revolver similarly pointed was at
the hole i'll the end of the car looking IN.
Moore could give no description of the

THE DOCUMENTS FOUND.
Boulanger's Effects Placed Under
Official Seal.

BRUSSELS, Sept. 30.-In spite of re-
peated inquiries made by the press
representatives upon the subject, the
relatives of Gen. Boulanger persistently
decline to furnish the public with any
definite information as to the written
declarations which he has left behind
him. Yet it is known that the dead
man prepared several documents tor
publication, in view of his sudden
death, and that he had written and
placed Oil his desk number of tele-
grams announcing his suicide, which
he intended should be sent to the per-
sons to whom they were addressed so
soon as the deed had been committed.
All the property and documents of
Gen. Boulanger have been placed in
sealed receptacles by the magistrates.
1t is known that he left will and DO
litical testament in his desk. 1t is stated
that the latter declares mistaken con-
fdence i'll his party, enjoins his friends
to prosecute the great aims he always
had in view, and ascribes his own death
solely to inconsolable grief over the
loss of Nine. de. Bonnemain.
The funeral of the general will prob
ably take place Sunday afternoon. His
mother, aged eighty-siX, is still firm in
the belief that her sou went to the fete
and has not yet returned.
On learning of the suicide of the gen.
eral, Prince Victor Bonaparte called,
and remained at the residence for half
an hour. The room in which the body
lies is sumptuously furnished. 1t is
draped in blue silk and adorned with a
large portrait of himself, his daughter,
and Nine. de Bonnemain. A large pho
tograph of Nine. de Bonnemain was
found under the clothing next to his
heart. The photograph was stained
with blood from the wound. There
were 10 documents on the body.

some floral emblem, generally a crown,
upon her grave. He would stay by the
grave Of his beloved friend for some
moments, sometimes for an hour, either
engaged in prayer or in deep thought.
Over the grave itself the general had
caused pretty white tombstone to be
erected. and at its head stood broken
column inscribed, Marguerite, 1855 to
1891" A few days ago the unfortunate
general deposited on Nine. de Bonnie
mains grave handsome crown of flow
ers bearing omit the words IA bientot
Marguerite"
The family of the general and the
servants of the hotel in the Rue Mon
foyer were therefore somewhat sur
prised when. this morning, they heard
him order his landau at a much earlier
hour than usual, saying that to-day he
was going to the lXelles cemetery at 10
in the morning instead of in the after
noon. The family and servants at first
paid little attention to the change in the
generals plans, aud nobody seems TO
have had the slightest idea that he in
tended to commit suicide.
