was done. Her husband said that she was
crazy, and tried to put her in a retreat.
She has him on the run, however, as this
goes to press.

handsome woman, the baron used to open

Of the American criminal genius. After
all we must depend upon the watchfulness
Of individuals. 1t is not with US as with
banks and trust companies, where valua-
bles are stationary, and where the amplest
protection is provided by means of iron
walls and armed guards. With us val
uables are continually being moved from
place to place, and when we build an iron
car in which to transport money and other
articles of worth it is more for protection
against fire than against the train robber
Why, if we should be able to transport a
forty-foot wall across the country there is
no question in my mind but that some
dynamiting crank would get into it.
Take for instance the Monitor design
that was submitted to US. That is really
an absurd pattern, for its weight alone
would make it an impossible addition to
our express facilities. Then imagine an
armed guard on the turret, and you have
the completion of the most ridiculous idea

the last car, as often as possible during the

The theory that a fighter can repeatedly

wrong. 1t is my opinion that Sullivan,
Corbett and myself have dispr6ven that
by an ability to do hard infghting as well
as clever feinting. Sullivan can stand off
and nurse his strength, and he can do
some marvellous rushing when it
is time for it. In great fistic
battle the successful man is he who
will study his opponent during the first
rounds. If he is in front of man who can
deliver but one kind Of effective blow he'll
soon find it out. and his efforts are all con-

that blow, and to leading his opponent on
to attempting that very blow as often as
he can. Then when he has drawn him on

One of the unique ideas presented to the
express companies came from st. Louis.
1t was that of crank who proposed to
ton where money and valuables were left.
He then proposed that the car be built
solidly of iron and steel with double cas-
ing of steel within. All the ventilation
would come from few minute openings
at the bottom of the car. This car floor
was to be locked, SO that it had to be
opened by some one in the hole at every
station. 1t would then sink and could be
unloaded, pushed up and relocked.
