Important Typewriter Decision.

Judge Lacombe, sitting il the United
States Circuit Court here, has, on the
motion of the Remington Typewriter
Company, granted an injunction against
the agents of the Franklin, restraining
the sale of that machine on account of
infringement Of Remington patents.
The decision is an important one as it
proves the control of the fundamental
patents, and may affect other makers
of typewriters. The Remington people
have heretofore been quite passive, but
it is stated on good authority that they
are now likely to proceed against all
other typewriter manufacturing CON-
panies.

but lest there be any suspicion that
thus far our episcopal solicitude has not ex-
tended itself in that direction we beg TO inform
your holiness that in the entire ecclesiastical
province Of New York Sunday schools have
been established in which after complying
with the precept Of hearing mass, the boys and
girls attending public schools are taught their
catechisms meanwhile. PROSTATE at the feet OF
your holiness, again profess our obedience

CALIFORNIA TRAIN ROBBERY.

Two Men Hold Up AN Express Train and
Secure Large sum of Money.
FRESNO, Cal, Aug. 5.-As passenger
train No II, Inbound, reached a
lonely spot six miles east of Coils last
night, two robbers crawled over the
tank to the engine cab and ordered the
engineer and fireman to stop the train
They made the engineer walk ahead a
quarter of a mile and compelled the
'reman to stay with them.
The outlaws then went to the express
car and ordered the messenger to open
the door. He refused and the robbers
threw Six or seven dynamite bombs at
the doors, completely demolishing
them.
The robbers entered the express car
and covering Louis Roberts, the mes
senger with double-barreled shotguns,
ordered him to open the Wells, Fargo
& Co. safe. Roberts set about doing
this, but was 50 excited and nervous
that he forgot the combination and SO
informed his captors, who thereupon
struck him a heavy blow upon the head
with Il gun and threatened to kill him
if had did not immediately open the safe.
With trembling hands he did SO and
they took out sacks of coin.
The sum contained in the messenger
safe is thought to have been between
$50. 0l0 and $4,000. Several deputy
sheriffs from southern counties of the
state are said to have been on board
the train. but no resistance was offered
to the robbers The robbers boarded
the tender as the train was pulling out
OF Coils, about fifteen miles west of
Fresno. They covered the en-
gineer and fireman with double
barreled sbotguns and commanded
that orders be obeyed under penalty OF
death. When the train passed Rollinds
station the engineer was ordered to
stop. The fireman was ordered tc
touch of with light of a cigar the
fuse of dynamite cartridge which the
robbers placed on the piston of the
driving wheel on the left hand side of
the locomotive. The explosion was ter

the day the smoke and smudge were
so dense even in the depot, that

JULES KELLER

A Crippled Youth Who Has Become q
Famous Gymnast.
Jules Keller is the name of a famous
gymnast who makes use of his arms
for the purposes most people use their
legs. With his hands he does all sorts
of difficult things-walxs, jumps, slides,
perhaps dances and skates as well. His
hands are not calloused, but smooth,
firm and supple.
Jules Keller is about twenty-six
years old. He was born of poor parents
in Prussia. When lad he was APP
prenticed to a trapeze performer. At
that time jules had the use of a good
strong pair of legs, and used them to
advantage. When he was about twelve
years of age, he was performing in st.
Petersburg with his master, who used
to catch him as he swung off trapeze.
One night his master failed to catch
poor Jules, who fell fifty feet, striking
upon his legs and back. They carried
him home to his mother, and everyone
thought he was going to die.
But instead of dying, Jules recovered.
He got back little of the sense of feel
ing in his legs and feet, though he
never would be able to walk upon them
again. The strength which was crushed
out of them found its way into his arms
and hands.
He lay in bed three years. Then, to
help himself, he began practicing walk
ing and moving about on his hands,
with his helpless legs balanced in the
air. He practiced until he was sure
that his body would follow unerringly
the order of his fingers.
Then he resolved to utilize his new
ability. He was able to run up and
downstairs on his hands, and also slide
down baluster He sought and found
a public engagement to exhibit this
''baluster feat" OF all the feats which
this young man has since learned, this
remains the most 20 ,,ular.
Perhaps he never would have thought
of doing these odd things if his cruel
misfortune had not forced him to find
some way to help himself. But the
same thing has happened to others be-
sides Jules Keller-that what seemed
ut first the hardest thing in their lives
becomes the cause OF their final sue

bacco dull At Baltimore the fall trade

iron, and orders for iron are large
and dry goods fairly active. At Detroit
crops look well. Business at Chicago

THAT the bill to promote the safety Of

small chances of passing the senate

from an impression that the proposed
changes will cost the railroad COM

THE BEST PLAN FOR OLD AGE.
Is Securing Helpful Circle of Good
Friends Now.

Is Securing q Helpful Circle of Good
Friends Now.
When a man is planning for the cons
fort of his mature and declining years
there are some things that he arrangcs
for as matters of course. But
there are one or two comforts that he
may miss by not approaching their
value until it is too late to provide for
them. A particular luxury of this sort.
for which a timely arrangement must
be made if a man is to have it at all, is
a periodical meeting with the men wh
were young when he was.
In order to secure this enjoyment
it Is necessary, in the first place. to be
young with considerable number Of
persons associated in the pursuit of
some common interest, and to form
more or less intimate relations with
them. They must be the right sort of
people, too; people whom it is not only
edifying to know while they are young,
but who promise a development which
will make a fair proportion of them
good company in their maturity. Having
formed such an acquaintance betimes,
the habit Of renewing it periodically
should be started early and carefully
nurseo, the periods growing gradually
less until they become annual.
The simplest way TO accomplish all
this is doubtless to go early in life to a
good college and return yearly to its
commandments. But where that has
not been feasible, the same end is often
otherwise accomplished, as by being q
veteran of the war, and meeting ones
fellow veterans annually at a grand
army encampment, or by being an earn
| est politician and getting sent pretty
regularly to conventions. The points
that require attention are that you
must meet old friends who were young,
or comparatively young, in your COM
| pany, and from whom you are ordinari-
! ly separated. The old friends whom
you meet every day won't do. You
| talk to them when you see them about
what happened yesterday and was in
the morning paper The sight of them
does not annihilate time for you; your
| intercourse with them has been too
constantly contemporaneous for that.
But the old acquaintance whom you
| only see once year carry you back
every time to the years when you first
| knew them-Scribner
