Tha elaborate stonework which
adorns the exterior of some OF our
finest buildings, public and private,
IS the result of slow and tedious work.
ing by hand. The carving of stone
can now be done in less than half the
time formerly occupied by the use of
an electrical reciprocating tool. This
can be regulated TO strike a series of
blows at any speed and with any de-
gree OF force, and thus the physical
labor hitherto necessary Is done away
with. The instrument is also coming
into use in the studios of sculptors,
who are much hampered by the ma
terial restrictions involved In the
working Of their ideas. The sculptor
can now devote his entire attention
to the lines the instrument is to fol-
low, and the cutting of the marble is
done far more rapidly and accurately
than IL would have been by muscular
power. r.-CommerLiaI Advertiser.

1t is curious that when so many

to earn money so few think OF becom-
ing amateur gardeners Violets,
pinks, chrysanthemums, and many
other flowers are not difficult to raise,
and, when carefully packed and sent
to q flrst-class florist, bring good
prices 1t is said that woman in

ROBBERS SCARED OFF.
-Four Men Attempt to Loot n Pennsylva-
MIA Bank, and Are Captured.

Four Men Attempt to Loot n Pennsylva-
MIA Bank, and Are Captured.
Erie, Pa, special: An attempt
was made to rob the keystone National
Bank here by four men. One Of the
bank officers was wounded and the
prisoners were all captured. 1t was
about 1890 o'clock in the afternoon,
and no customers were In the bank.
Assistant Cashier Frank Kepler and
Clerk Charles Liebel were busy balance
ing their books and counting money
and checks when suddenly a quartette
of tOuRh-looking strangers burst into
the room, revolvers in hand. The
strangers took positions at each OF the
windows, around the desks within, and,
pointing their revolvers at the heads OF
the two clerks. told them to throw up
their hands.
Instead OF doing as directed the
cashier snatched up paper weight and
was about dealing the fellow nearest
him blow when two shots were fired
by the intruders. One of the bullets
struck Kepler in the lett cheek, infiict-
ing serious but not dangerous wound
The young man fell fainting to the floor,
and the robbers becoming frightened
ran from the bank and fed up Eighth
street.
Special Officer William Doehrel run
out and joined the crowd of pursuers.
Hailing the driver OF a passing wagon
he jumped in and had the driver pursue
the robbers, and finally rot ahead of the
fugitives. The o1icer then jumped out
and with drawn revolver commanded
the men to throw up their hands. The
answer was a shot from a revolver by
one of the desperadoes. As the officer
was liz the act of returning the fire the
men thought better Of it and surren-
dered. They were handcuffed together
and marched TO the police station and
locked up In separate cells.
The prisoners gave their names as
John Courtney and G. II. Hawley, OF
New York City, and Dan p. Evans and
Charles w. Smith. OF Syracuse.

A CLEVER fraud has lust been

A CLEVER fraud has just been de-
tected in Paris. An advertisement
appeared recently in French paper,
to the effect that a widow, aged
28, herself in independent circum-
stances, wished to meet with a suit
able young man, etc. Several candi-
dates for matrimony were attracted
by the announcement, and there were
the usual preliminary inquiries, and
ultimately the interview. The lady
treated her different admirers in
different ways, but in each case gave
proof of her income, and seemed anx-
ious for the ceremony of marriage.
She was used to English ways, and
liked to receive an engagement
ring before the hoop of plain gold,
and this prediction for the English
fashion she explained to each OF her
fiances. They all yielded to the En-
glish fashion, and presented rings Of
varying value, two of them 1000 and
$500 francs respectively for their
presents. Owing to her persistent
delay, one of the dupes brought ac-
tion against her. This revelation
caused whole string of bethrothed
ones to put in their claims, so the
dashing widow was summoned to
court.

$3.50, 600.
Oscar Wilde says there is no real poet in
America.
DR.. Morgan Dix of Unity Church, New

Andrew Jackson was President of the
United States when Gladstone made his
first speech in Parliament.
'Oliyer Optic" Adams is writing another
story, notwithstanding that he is over 20
and has turned out over 100 books.
The widow of the late Senator Plumb of
Kansas has declined to accept the $1,000 or
one years salary, always voted to the w ows
Of deceased Senators.

him in a fencing bout fifty years ago.
Mrs. Cassatt and Mrs Mae Mannies. two
American artists now in Paris. have been
commissioned By Mrs. Potter Palmer To do

diti0n OF the London poor.

FREE TRADE AND ANARCHY.

The CALL has never supposed that there
was close connection between free trade
and anarchy. We have received information
on this point, however. from an ayowed
anarchist. who writes TO inform US that he
cannot conscentiously continue to patrOnize
a paper which advocates the protection Of
American labor. The gentleman with whom
THE CALL is thus forced TO part company
concludes his farewell by saying: in let
ters or in politics l am an anarchist. All
anarchists of whom l know anything with
whom / associate, are free-traders from prin-
ciple. not for revenue only" A little con-
sdeTation of the matter discovers method
in the madness of our correspondent He
reasons. doubtless, that if the free traders
should come into power, the effect upon our
working class would be such that large
proportion of them would become anaT-
chists. THE CALL prefers to labor for the
elevation of the class whom the free-traders
seem TO desire 10 reduce to a condition from
which anarchy would be natural refuge.
We shall continue, therefore. in the course
marked out, in the happy consciousness that
our cores spOndent can only stop his copy Of
TIE CALI.

THE CONTROLLING MoTIvE.

The controlling motive which induced
certain men in Redoing TO take the law into
their own hands was without doubt a more
or less we'll grounded fear that if the case
came into court the prisoners would either
be acquitted or get off with a light sentence.
One of the Ruggles brothers boasted that he
had pull" and it is pretty well known
that the Ruggles family were prepared TO
make sacrifices to defeat justice. There was
no doubt of the guilt OF the accused. The
Nigilantes had no apprehension on that
score. The doubt was whether the influence
the friends of the accused could bring to
bear would defeat justice. Ii should be re-
membered that one vote in a criminal trial
jury prevents verdict. Two or three fail
ures to convict generally lead to an admis-
sion on the part of the people that convic-
tion is impossible. Judges should take this
lesson to heart. 1t is the failure of the
courts to do the work they were created to
do that inspires individuals to disregard the
law. In this city murders are alarmingiy
frequent but executions are rare. Occa-
sionally, after two or three years of purs nit,
the law overtakes a Chinaman, but white
men who contemplate murder do not con-
slider the chances of hanging as worth TAX
ing into account.

AGAINST THE CoNsTIrUrIoS.

The Chronicle apparently cannot dIstIn-
gulsh between proposition 20 amend the
constitution in the way provided by this
instrument Itself and an act on the part Of
the Legislature in violation of the constitu-
ton. AT least that journal assumes that
the Republican convention will not insist
that the Legislature shall set itself nm
against the constitution OF the State when
there is no other proposition before the pub.
lie than that the Legislature shall submit
certain amendments to tie constitution.
Ihe amendment which the Southern Pacific
Company and lis organ most dislike is one
aoollshlng the State Railroad Commission.
Inc ground upon which this amendment
VIII be urged is that the commission has
existed during the whole life of the State
constitution and has never done the public
service. 1t has always worked. So far 90
II has worked at all, in the interests of tho
southern Pacific Company. We NAV add
also, that there are at present TO visible
signs OF improvement. There have haen
commissions Of which minority showed a
disposition to be useful. but in the present
commission there is no welI-disposed minor
ity. The remedy proposed is to abolish tha
commission by amendment to the consti,u-
uon and to dev0lye upon the Legislature
the power to regulate railroad rates.

But Wattersoa did not remain in his Louis

VERY MUCH ALIKE.

The intimaticn Of the Examiner that in
dependent Republicans should help the
Democrats elect their local ticket is doubt
less rade in good faith. 1t cannot have
been made, however, with any hope that il
would have any considerable weight with
Republicans who do not propose longer to
submit TO Southern Pacific rule. Our con-
temporary knows enough of politics to know
that parties are judged by what they did
when in power, not by what they say when

always good. They have to be good to get
