Firing Kept up by the Gang, and a
Flagman Badly Wounded.
BLooDHoUNDs ON THEIR TRAIL.
Taking Big Chances for a Few Dollars.
Passengers Badly Frightened
by the Shooting.

ATLANTA, Ga, April 1.-Oficers are
in close pursuit of gang of train rob-
bers, following their trail with blood
hounds. They are supposed to be the
gang which boarded at Weems. at |
O'Clock yesterday morning, the passen-
ger, mail and express train on the
Grand Pacific railway. There were five
masked men, and as the train moved
away from the station robber boarded
the engine and covered the engineer
with rife, compelling him to stop the
train one hundred feet away, on a
trestle. One man stood guard over the
engineer and fireman, while several
others opened fire OH the inside of the
train in order to frighten the passen-
gers. Another robber knocked on the
door of the mail car, demanding an
entrance, which was refused. He then
broke open the door, firing at the postal
clerk, who was slightly wounded.
Every registered letter in the car, sup
posed to contain about $4,000, was taken.
The express car was not molested. The
entire robbery was done in few min.
utes, in which time several of the gang
kept up firing, and Flagman Adams was.
nearly killed. The engineer says the
robber on the engine was a white man.
The postal clerk says the man who.
robbed him was mulatto.

Suwaroff, Russia's great military CON-

strength is never to be compared.
He bad been sickly in his youth, says an

of plain diet. Buckets Of cold water
were thrown over him in the morning.
and his table was served with fare which
guests would fam haye refused. but dared
not, lest he should think them efeminate.
He despised dress and delighted in drill
ing his men IN his shirt-sleeyes, some
times with his stockings literally down at
the heel.
But his hardihood Of life and action had
it's effect on the men he commanded. he
was often up BY midnight, and would sa-

Except the Deer, What Remains Is
Mostly to be Found in Menageries.
fOmaba World-IIerald.l

Once upon time. and not so very long
ago, numerous noble animals roamed wild
over this western country OF ours the
shaggy buffalo chewed the luscious herb
age and kicked the flies of himself on
every hill; the feet-limbed deer outran
the winds and enjoyed himself as only
healthy and virtuous deer can wild horses
nelghed and whinnled in the valleys; anil
NAL life was everywhere. and the
aborigine didn't need TO buy a ticket to
the menagerie to see the greatest show on
earth.
But civilization has reared school houses
and ahattoirs on the western plains, and
the sound of the hammer and saw has
taken the place OF the thunder of the boots;
the hoarse rumble of the Joint 'etni' Is
heard where used to reverbera. lie bel
lowing of the buffalo and 80 chal-
longing neigh Of the untrammel!ed
steed. There are few weary bufa;,
loes surviving, but they are cooped
up in pens and fed on dry bey, aud
they bear the same relation to their ances-
tors that a street-car horse does 10 Jobs
charger. Thew are pitiful 10 look upon,
these sad-eyed and consumptive beasts, as
being the only relics of the vast and ma
iestic herds which erstwhile swept over
the prairie, like brown gulf-stream In an
ocean Of green. The deer will soon be only
memory as well few Of him are scatter
"a through Western Nebraska and Wyom-
ng. but the day will soon como when the
man who must eat venison or die Will pro-
baby die. And wild horses! The only
ones of which we have any knowledge are
in the livery-stables, and they are covered
with hieroglyphics branded with red-hot
irons; and so il goes through the whole
catalogue of animals. Even the great
American grounding, which regulates tho
weather for SIX weeks every year. has be-
come so scarce that when copy OF him 10
found it is framed and given the place OF
honor in the parlor.
Most people will be sorry that the repre-
sentative ANIMALS of this continent are so
nearly extinct, and it Is time that the feel
ing OF sorrow assumed practical form in
the shape of memorial TO Congress asking
for some legislation prohibiting the
slaughter of the few remaining beasts.
There IA scarcely q town or city In the
country which does not annually send out
its hunters to the remote haunts OF the
deer and bear and other wild animals, and
these hunters kill, and kill tor the sole
pleasure of securing antlers and pelts to
exhibit to admiring friends, and. intoxi-
Gated by success, they keep on killing as
long as there is ANYTHING to shoot at. The
inevitable result follows the number OF
game beasts in the country grows smaller
wear by year, and in q couple of decades
or less they will all have gone to join the
mastodon and pterodactyl.
So there should be large rectangular
law in force making 1t misdemeanor for
a man to spend weeks at the hauuts OF
these animals, killing them for the nero
pleasure Of Cutting an appetite for car
mage.

The action of the Southern Express
Company in donating the sum OF $1,000
for the support and education OF the little
sisters of the late Messenger Saunders Is
worthy of the highest praise.
Mr.. Saunders 1t will be recollected, was
killed few months ago in Florida by q
party of robbers while he was protecting
the money entrusted to his charge in the
express-car. He died at his post in the
faithful discharge of his duty. and his en-
ployers are now taking care of the loved
ones who were dependent upon him.
1t is often said that corporations have
no souls, but in this instance the Southern
Express Company has shown noble
sense Of the reciprocal duties and obliga-
tons existing between employers and
their wage-earners. IL is gratifying TO see
such illustrations of the brighter side of
human nature, and il is safe TO say that
the money given to Messenger Saunders's
sisters will be as good an investment as
the donors ever made. The kind hearts
back of this GIFT and the cordial apprecia-
ton of good mans faithful services so
generously manifested will have a far
reaching effect. When employers are
ready to stand by their men in the right
way even the humblest toiler feels en-
couraged to put in his best work, and, If
need be, risk his life in defence of the in
terests committed to his care.-Aadntd

How You Can Get Que of the Colum bian
HnIf-DoIlars.

The World's-Fair sourenr coins are go
ing ike hot cakes" and those who want to
get one or more of them will have 10 bestir
themselves or they will be too late. The
desire for one OF these mementcs or the
exposition seems TO be almost as universal
as is the interest In the exposition itself,
and orders for them have been sent In from
all parts of the United States and also from
foreign countries.
This sourenir half dollar, it is reported
from Washington. will be the most artistic
coin ever issued from the mint. On the
diverse side will appear the head OF
Columbus. designed from the Lotto por-
trait, and surrounding it the words,
Worlds Columbian Exposition, Chicago,
1892" On the reverse side will appear a
carayel, representing Columbus's flag ship,
and beneath it two hemispheres. Above
the caravel will be United States of
America" and beneath the hemispheres,
Columbian Half Dollar" There is no
doubt that this coin will be regarded as the
most distinctive and hghest-prlzed cheap
SOUVENIR of the Worlds Fair.
All of these sOurenir CONS except five are
being sold at q uniform price Of 81 each.
For the first coin struck OF $4,000 has
already been offered, and various prices
have been bid for the 400th, 1920, 1920,
and the last coin. Desiring that these SOU
uenirs be distributed as widely as possible
among the people, and that all. irrespec-
tive of locality, have an equal chance
to obtain them, the exposition authori-
ties have sought TO prevent syndi-
Gates and others from purchasing large
quantities and thus "cornering the sale.
On the contrary, they have arranged to
supply banks. business-houses, and indi-
yIduals in oil parts of the country with as
many as they may desire to distribute
among their patrons, customers. or friends.
They require only that the orders must be
for fifty coins or some multiple OF nifty.
and that the order be accompanied by the
cash. at the rate OF 81 for each coin. A
great many banks and business firms have
gladly complied with these conditions and
ordered each from 30 to 10000 of the coins.
Notwithstanding these conditions have
been widely published. still vast number
of INQUIRIES by letter has been received at
exposition headquarters asking how the
coins NAV be obtained. The best way is to
get them through local banks, all Of which
are no doubt willing to accommodate in
that way their patrons and the residents OF
the city OF town in which they are doing
business. II, however, for any reason 1t is
desired to obtain them otherwise, the
proper method is to form club Of sub:
scribers for fifty coins, or some multiple OF
fifty. and select some one member OF the
club to send on the order and money and
to distribute the coins when received.
Orders should be addressed to A. +. See
berger, Treasurer Worlds Columbian Ex-
position. Chicago.
Ii Is probable that the coins will not be
ready for distribution until some time In
December. But the orders are being sent
in rapidly and will be filled in the order
of being received. Therefore, it is i'm

she was taught riding and dancing: She
was made to dance certain number OF

tons o long time to exercise the proper

features Of her dancing are startling. In
fact. they approach almost q contortion

with raven black switches, angels who wear
their hair in flat bandeaux, like the virgins

that Goya loved to paint. With huge hats
or minute toaues, mere garlands of sweet
flowers, with garments that seem like 0

in elegant carriages, and graciously accord
to mortals the calm spectacle OF their
various beauty and or their perfect toilets.
From the Avenue du Bols do Boulogne
