TWO DARING BANDITS
THEY LOOT A NATIONAL BANK AT
ALLENTOWN, N. J.

Cashier Hutchinson and "A Big Crowd of
Citizens Pursue and Capture the High
waymen While They Were Running
Away with Two Thousand Dollars.
ALLENTOWN, Nov. 3O.-Two bold b an
dts, in true western style, held up the
cashier and bookkeeper in the Farmers
National bank at this place in broad day
light, but after leaving the bank with a
large sum of money they were run down
and captured. At about 1890 p. m. two
young men entered the bank and walked
directly to the window, behind which stood
Cashier Elmer II. Hutchinson One OF the
men had a mustache and the other was
smooth faced. The man with the mustache
pointed revolver at Cashier Hutchinson
and said, 1--WE want al the money you
have"
At the same time the young robber with
the smooth face covered Bookkeeper Will
liam ID. Smith with his revolver Smith
was also behind the rail. There was no one
else in the bank at the time but the book
keeper, the cashier and the two robbers
Run Down by Mob.
The bank officials were powerless, and
5000 in greenbacks which lay on the coun-
ter was showed out to the robbers. One of
them kept the cashier and his assistant
covered with his revolver the other put the
money in his pockets and then started to-
wards the door. The other robber com
manded Cashier Hutchinson and his assist
ant to walk backward toward the wall
and then to stand there facing it.
They did so and the robber who took the
money, finding the coast clear, walked out
of the door The other soon followed and
started on a run down the street. AS soon
as the bank men found that the robbers
were gone they started in pursuit, firing at
the robbers as they ran.
Cashier Hutchinson, who is a fast run
ner, gained on the two thieves, who, per-
ceiving this, turned and fired several shots
back at their pursuers. William Laird, a
farmer, and William H. Brewer, a hard
ware merchant, kept up with Cashier
Hutchinson, and they assisted in overtak
taking and capturing the robbers after they
had run about 5O0yards. The thieves, find
ing that they were hemmed in on all sides,
threw up their hands on being covered
with shotguns and pistols in the hands of
the excited citizens.
Wild Threats Made.
During the chase Cashier Hutchinson
emptied all the chambers of his revolver,
while the thieves fired three shots. None
of the bullets took effect.
The crowd gathered around them, and
amid many wild threats they were secured
and the money taken from them. They
gave the names of j. B. Morris and Fred
erick Smith. Later in the day they were
taken to Freehold jail Upon being searched
memorandum was found bearing the
words "Woodstown bank, Nov. 30" 1t is
supposed that they intended to pay this

NOT LIKELY.
Reciprocity Between the United
States and Canada.
She Would Get Decidedly the Best
of Such an Agreement.
Annexation Would Be Greatly
to Her Advantage.

Recent Reciprocity Treaties Were Based
on the Free Import of Sugar, Tea, Cof-
fee, Molasses and Hides-of These Cam
ada Produces but One--Should Come
Into the Union If She Desires to Par
ticipate in the Commercial Advan-
tages It Possesses.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 49, Considerable
progress has been made toward con-
clusion of the conferences between the
reciprocity commissioners of Canada and
Secretary Blaine and General Foster.
AS has been predicted, it is unlikely
that an agreement will be reached.
There is little if any support in congress
for movement of this sort, the opinion
held there being that Canada must come
into the Union if she wants to partici-
pate in the commercial advantages it
possesses. Reciprocity, which has be-
come popular, is based upon the free
import of five articles-sugar, tea,
coffee, molasses and hides. OF these,
Canada produces only hides, and the
extent Of her business is not believed to
be sufficient to tempt the United States
to open up to her all the advantages of
its markets for that one article. The
Canadian commissioners will, it is un-
derstood, be ready to return in few
days to Ottawa.

WANAMAkER'S LUCK.
Said to Have Made Over 81, 900, 900 by
the Reading Deal.

the Reading Deal.
NEW YORK, Feb. ia Worlds
Washington special says:
Postmaster General Wanamaker has
profited very largely by the rise in
Reading stock since Wednesday. The
postmaster generals share in the in
creased value of the stock is understood
to foot up over 81 100000.
A prominent gentleman of Philadel-
phhia is quoted as follows: "The head
of the postoffice department is very
lucky man. The net profit on his inter-
est this week is more than 81 900, 900. 1t
is a big sum, but he deserves it.,
for he held ON under very dis
couraging circumstances. All of his
troubles a year or so ago were
brought about by his heavy interest in
Reading. He was in tight place, so tight
a place that he would have gone to the
wall if the Drexels had not come to his
assistance. They helped him to the ex-
tent of $50O,000, and offered to assist
him with as much more if necessary,
but he made out to get along without
it. His fight with Gould bothered him
greatly. He has weathered the storm
and turned the corner, though, at last.
To be nearly exact, Mr.. Wanamaker is
about $l,300,000 richer than he was
not long ago."

CIGARETTES.
Possibly They May BE Taxed
$40 Per Thousand.
Congress Will Be Petitioned to
That Effect.

Within the Past Year Over Two Hundred
teen, Have Either Died or Grown Hope
lessly Insane from the Effects of Smok-
ing the Seductive Things.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The ways and
means committee of the house of repre-
sentatives will be petitioned to prepare a
bill invoking the paternal condemnation
OF the government upon the cigarette
habit. Representatives Cochran, Cum
mings and Stahlnecker, of New York, all
have in their possession bills which they
have been petitioned to introduce, pro
viding for the suppression of cigarette
manufacture by imposing an internal
revenue tax of $40 per thousand on all
imported or domestic cigarettes sold in
this country. Accompanying the me-
mortal is statement which SAYS:
Clippings taken from papers throughout
the United States show that during the
past year there have been about one
hundred deaths of young men, mostly
under sixteen years of age, from the effects
of smoking paper wrapped cigarettes. In
some cases there has been an analysis of
the stomach and in most instances there
has been found acid, phosphorus and
arsenic, which is largely used in the
manufacture of cigarette paper Also,
the same clippings will show that about
one hundred men have been consigned to
insane asylums from the same cause
There has been in about forty of the
different states a law passed prohibit
ing the sale of paper-wrapped cigar
cites to minors under sixteen years
of age. There has never yet been
chemist of any responsibility who
has examined paper wrapped cigarettes
who has not most decidedly pronounced
them injurious. The internal revenue
tax is now fifty cents per thousand for pa
per-wrapped cigarettes of less than three
pounds weight per thousand cigarettes.
To accomplish what the different states
have and are attempting to do-protect
young people by prohibiting their smok-
ing paper-wrapped cigarettes-a law
should be passed by this congress making
the internal revenue tax $40 per Thousand
on all paperwrapped, imported or do
mestic cigarettes. This would place
them at price that children could notpay
and go further than any state legislation
can do, and meet with the approval of
every man and woman in the country.
Following this statement are the
names and former addresses of over two
hundred people of the various sections
of the United States who have, during
the past year, died or grown hopelessly
insane as the effect of the cigarette
habit. Representative Cochran will file
his bill with the ways and means COM
mittee, of which he is member, for
such action as that committee may deem
necessary.

FOND Du LAC INDIANS ROBBED.
Their Reservation Almost Denied OF
Timhe hy IInscrunuInns Rnhhars

Their Reservation Almost Denied OF
Timber by Unscrupuious Robbers.
ST. PAUL, Feb. 15.-United States in
terror department special agents who
have investigated the matter are of the
opinion that the Indians Of the Fond du
Lac reservation, near Duluth, have
been shamefully abused. Their reserva-
ton is some twelve miles square, and
lies between the lines of the Duluth and
Winnipeg and the Northern Pacific
roads, with the Duluth, Messaba and
Northern running into it at one point.
1t was originally exceedingly rich in
very high grade of pine and cedar tim
Der; in fact, was selected by the red
skins on account of its timber value.
They have not been allowed by the gov
ernment to cut any, but burned, dead
and fallen timber, which they were to
take out and dispose of to the lumber
companies operating close by.
Their land should, therefore, be cov-
cred by splendid growth of fine pine.
AS matter of fact the government
agents find it nearly depleted. One
agent alone has minutes of 60,000,0 1000
feet of pine that has been cut off with
out apparently so much as q cent of pay
ment to the rightful owners. Once or
twice before this the government, on the
report of the interior department., has
compelled illegal choppers to make res
titution, and now it has made a whole
some seizure and branded some 6,00O,-
600 feet of logs and tens of thousands Of
telegraph poles, cedar posts and railway
ties-for the robbers took everything
clean-with the stamp "U. s." and two
weeks from last Friday will offer the lot
for sale here.
1t is probable that three-fourths of the
timber of the Fond du Lac reservation
has already been stolen and cut off.

by mere unaccountabe freak of nature

He now claims that because of his dark
