THE HEARTY and general response
which the appeal for aid to the starry
ing people Of Russia has met in every
part OF the country attests ths COM
mon brotherhood of man and it
shows also that there is a good deal
OF that spirit Of love and sympathy
fostered at Christmas time at large
in tho world. That aid can be sent
in time is a fact which evidences the
progress OF civilization. A century
ago, millions of human beings might
have starved to death before the news
OF the famine would have reached
another continent, but in these days
OF the telegraph, the railroad, til.
steamship, and the printing press,
suffering or want in any part OF the
globe is known everywhere instantly.
In this enlightened age a famine
should he I'm impossibility.

BANK ROBBERS AT WORK.
They Drill Through Steel Vault and
Get Away With @15O,OOo.

FREEPoRT, Pa, March 5.-Expert
burglars made an attempt last night to
rob the Freeport bank, and were partly
successful. They drilled and forced the
combination off the vault door and then
drilled and forced the combination lock
off the middle door, getting into the
large steel safe. They next undertook
to drill the safe door, but had to aban-
don it. The combination lock on the in
ner safe is broken and has not yet been
opened today. The banker, Mr.. Lud-
wick, thinks the safes contents are all
right. If this be true, $4,000 to $15, 900
of the banks money is safe. In the
steel vault were twenty private boxes
filed with valuable bonds, money and
stamps. All of these were broken open
and the contents taken. There was over
$150,000 in money, bonds and other
articles stolen. The burglars gained an
entrance from a back window their
tracks and also the print of their satchel
was plainly imprinted in the snow. 1t
is thought they began their work about
O'Clock last night.
