THREE BOLD GIRL BANDITS.

They Rob Another Girl on the Highway,
But are Compelled to Disgorge.
FALL RIVER, MASS, Sept. s-[Special 1.-The
latest highway robbery in this vicinity has
so much of the ludicrous surrounding it
that the serious nature of the crime is
almost lost sight Of Alice Greenwood and
Agnes Sexton, each about II years old, were
the victims. They were walking along near
the Merchants Mills, when they were ac-
costed by three other girls of about the
same age. The three strangers demanded
the purse which the Greenwood girl carried.
She objected. The three girls 'held her up''
in the most approved Western style. One of
them held the girls arms, while another of
them put snuff in her nose. When the vic
tim sneezed she loosened her hold upon the
pocket book, and the third young robber
improved the opportunity to snatch it from
her hand. Then they ran around the corner
and disappeared.
The Greenwood girl ran after them crying,
and was met by James Irving the goal
tender of the East End Football Club. He
was informed of the robbery and Joined in
the chase. He found the girl bandits seated
behind the stone crusher dividing the spoils.
The presence of man among them took
away their courage, and they readily sur
rendered the money. While Mr.. Irving was
looking for policeman the girls escaped,
and have not yet been caught.

CANADIAN FRENCH CONDEMNED.
1t VIII Be Abolished in the Provinces of
the Extreme Northwest.

1t VIII Be Abolished in the Provinces of
the Extreme Northwest.
Brooklyn Citizen.I
the passage by the Canadian Senate of o
bill authorizing the Northwest Territories
Legislature to abolish the use of the French
language in the courts and the Assembly is
belated measure, that fact being due to the
slow progress which Canada is making in
population. The growth of the population
is, however, in the English speaking ele-
ment, which is already largely predominant,
and it is bound to be more and more so as
time goes on. Canadian French is only a
corrupted dialect or patois, but Canadian
English, like American English, is univer-
sally an improvement on the English of
England Besides that, English is bound to
be the universal language OF the world in
time. In how long time, may be, perhaps,
Judged from the advance it has made within
the present century In 1901 it was spoken by
less than 200 COO out of l62 0,000 of civil
lied and enlightened beings. --s 81
In 1888 it was spoken By Ice, COO 900 out Of
367, 100000. In other words, it rose from
about Ii per cent to over q per cent, while
French declined from nearly 20 per cent to
13 per cent. German and Russian stand
about the same. being spoken now as then
by abont 10 per cent of the whole population
named. Whatever silly sentiment may
urge, common sense will draw the correct
conclusion from these facts and figures,
and the time will come when the universal
language will be not "Volapuk," nor any
of the languages that have grown into dis
tinct forms by the usage, Of nations, but
the language which the world finds most in
demand and most useful because used by
the greatest number of people with whom
commercial and other intercourse is,
deemed necessary: But long before that
time, Canadian French will be reckoned
among the cur1osities, or, perhaps, the
fossils of literature.

|OUTWITTING A FIEND.
A Diabolical Plot to Blow Up His
BrOther-in-Law for Robbery.
INTERNAL NATURE OF HIS PLAN.
The Mans Sister Was Also to Have Been
Murdered by the Brute.
A FRIEND REVEALS THE HIDE0US PLOT
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE prspArcH.1

BOSTON, Sept. 8. The arrest of James E.
Cutter by the Boston police tonight spoiled
diabolical scheme to murder and rob and
brought to light a collection.of internal
machines sufficient to blow up half the city.
Cutters sister married Luther H. Rowe, a
wealthy manufacturer Mr.. Rowe's home
is in Melrose, but his mandatory is at
Haverhill
Cutter was angry because his wealthy
brother-in-law refused to advance as much
cash as his extravagant tastes demanded,
and tried to take his life. In 1888 he made
the first attempt, and was arrested and SEN
soon as he was released he again laid his
plans to secure his brother-in-law's wealth.
He roomed on Chambers street, and after
his arrest to-day the nature of his plot was
revealed. His original plan was to blow up
his victim. He laid in a big stock of
giant powder, nitro glycerine, dynamite,
and regular arsenal of firearms.
In addition to these weapons he had many
bombs bombs ready for use: His original
brella and leave it in Mr.. Rowe's hands.
Upon reflection he decided that there was
too much danger to himself in that plan, so
he abandoned 1t for the one of blowing up
bHe mousse. DuJ UndI lnVOlVo LtO ue-
struction ofhis sister, and that scheme, too,
was given up.
Last Wednesday he confided his plan to an
old friend, William Butler. He and Butler
had worked together in the same shop. He
asked Buffers assistance in removing
Rowe, and promised him half the
money that was expected as re-
suit of the crime. Butler at first
thought the whole matter was joke, but
when he discovered that Cutter was really
bent on murder and robbery he pretended
to approve of the scheme. in order to hold
the mans confidence, and then he revealed
the plot to the police.
Cutters plan was to have been put in
operation tonight. He was at the rendeZ-
vous waiting for. his accomplice when the
police arrested him. He and Butler were to
have proceeded to Mr.. Rowe's house, in
Melrose. Butler was to ring the bell,
and it was anticipated that Mr..
Rowe would answer the bell in per-
son. As soon as he opened the door Cutter
was to shoot him. If he missed him Butler
was to open fire. Then. having disposed of
Mr.. Rowe the two men were to cover Mrs.
Rowe with their revolver and force her to
give up all the money and valuables in the
house. In case she refused she, too, was to
be murdered.

THE ACTION OF EAGAN.
In Chile Is All That Can Be Done at
the Present Juncture,
FOLLOWING DIPLOMATIC USAGEs.
When Chile Elects q President Egan Will
Get New Credentials.
MUCH UNEAsINESs FELT AT HONOLULU

WASHINGTON, Sept. s.-Although the
efforts of this Government to further the in
PRODUCTION of American meat products into
Europe have not abated, as a result of the
success of the negotiations with Germany
the greater part of official attention is now
being directed to the advancement of Amer
lean interests in the Pacific. So far as Chile
is concerned the Department of State is
much encouraged by Minister Egan's cable
gram announcing the. establishment of cor
dial relations between himself and the pro-
visional government
The officials eff the department specially
call attention to the fact that the provision
al government of Chile was not organized
until the 4th instant, and on the same day
it was recognized by the American Minis
ter, who had been instructed by cable to do
so. The action is not a formal official
recognition, but is all that can be done by
any nation at this juncture, and is in line
with the precedents of diplomatic practice.
When the Republicans in Spain, in 1873,
succeeded in overthrowing the monarchy
Mr. Fish, the Secretary of State, instructed
General Sickes, the American Minister to
Spain, as follows:
"As soon as the Republican Government
is fully established in possession of power
OF the nation you will recognize il"
This was followed after the election of the
Spanish President by the issuance of new
credentials to Minister Sickles, and so, when
a new President of Chile is elected, Mr..
Egan will receive credentials of the same
kind. Meanwhile he will continue the
friendly relations he has already established
with the provisional government.
Reports are expected to reach the Depart
ment of State in a few days from Honolulu,
embodying the announcement of the death
of John Dominis, the Prince Consort. Devel-
opments in that quarter are being narrowly
upheaval and the resulting jeopardy of
American interests.

INTEREST IN WESTERN MINES
The Total Mineral Production Is Growing
Larger Each Year.

The Total Mineral Production Is Growing
Larger Each Year.
Chicago Tribune
There are already indications of return
ing interest in Western mines. The statisti-
cal records of the production of the mines
are most satisfactory to those who have en-
gagged their money in such enterprises, and
may well appeal to she attention of the
general investor. The total mineral produc-
tion of the United States to last June was
1856, ,9SS, $50. This is the greatest total ever
reported for any country. There are 0,000
mining Establishments in the United States,
employing 512, III persons, paying in annual
wages $212, ,409. 500, and engaging capital to the
amount of 81, I73, ,0O0,0 600.
The money kings of the West are living
evidences of what may be done in mining.
The commercial agencies reports to recent
years show that the proportion of failures
in mining is less than in other lines of in
dustry Failures in mining have generally
sprung from mismanagement. The Granite
Mountain Mine pays regularly 500, 900 per
month in dividends. Thirteen mining COM
panies operating in Montana paid $3l9 900
net in the month of June: the same COM
panies since Jan. l returned s., 1s0 700 to their
stockholders. Investors are taking a good
deal of interest in facts and figures of this
kind and if mining property of merit
should be offered on this market by men of
experience in that line of business, and
whose Judgment is beyond reproach, the en-
terprise would undoubtedly meet with quick
appreciation.

CLEVELAND, O., Sept. S.-The fall meet
ing of the Cleveland Driving Park Associa-
tion began to-day under favorable auspices.
The weather was cool and the track in fine
condition. The crowd was about up to the
average for a first day. There were three
events on the card, the 2-year-old stake race
and the 2:4O and 2:1S classes for trotters. Of
the II entries in the 2-year-old stake race
only two started - Monbars and Roman.
Every horse in the party but the colt Roman,
by Armagh, seemed afraid to meet the black
kentucky wonder, and he had a walk-away
for the purse.
1t was no trick to distance Roman, ana
Monbars went away from him with ease.
Without urging Monbars covered the mile in
1929 making the last half in l:09Iz, and the
last quarter in 3pI seconds. At the conclu-
sion Of the race the Judges offered q special
purse for Mon bars If he would 90 mile and
beat Sunni's 2-year-old record OF e:ls- There
is no doubS that the horse could have gone
the mile on this track in 2:I6 with a mate to
urge him. Budd Doble had sent word to his
brother Charlie who handled Monbars, how
ever, not to urge him too hard, and the offer
was refused.
Ten of the Il entries in the 240 class
started. Before the race Myrtle Ii was
1aVorite at SIS against the field for S6. Mollie

A JESSE JAMES GANG IN DETROIT.
One Witness in the Abduction Case Fears
Murder and Flees the City.

One Witness in the Abduction Case Fears
Murder and Flees the City.
DETROIT, Sept. S.-Chief of Police Stark
weather stated to-day that Frank Parrish,
who is on his way here from st. Louis to
testify in the Perrien abduction case, is per-
fectly willing to testify, but for fear OF
being murdered he did not dare to remain
in Detroit after it became known to the Con-
sidines that he would appear against them
"All he wants." said Starkweather, 'is pro-
lection, and he shall have it."
The discovery by the Considines that Par
rish was spying upon them came about in
singular manner. One night over game Of
cards it was claimed that Parrish had
cheated, and the gang held him up and
searched him: In the searcha document
was found in Parrish's pocket which proved
to be an agreement between Joseph Perrien
and Parrish that the latter was to receive
certain amount of money II he could pro-
duce the evidence in some matters about
the abduction. Parrish was almost killed
by the gang that night, but escaped with his
life. 1t seems that when the reward was
offered by Perrien for evidence against his
abductors Parrish was one of those who pre-
sented himself. He gave the names of the
Considines, Kennedy, Ed Kent and Frank
Griffith as the abductOrs and had barely
commenced to get at the minor details of the
abduction when he was discovered by the
gang.
