The Novel Method Which Was Employed
to Rob Bank.
'.The most perplexing case l ever
had was in Utica. N. Y. more than
thirty years ago." said James O'Neill.
once noted thief-taker .One OF
the banks was robbed of a small
amount OF money daily but howP that
was the puzzler. The cashier would
find his cash all right in the morning.
and. although no one touched it but
himself. it would be short from SO
to $50 at night The peculation had
been going on for month. and more
than 81, 900 had mysteriously disap.
peared. The cashiers department
was rallied Off and no one allowed to
enter it not even the president but
the shortages continued just the same.
Il worked on the case week
without finding clew. Agay young
man about town occupied room over
the bank as sleeping apartment /
suspected him at first but as he
never entered the bank finally con-
cluded that l was barking up the
wrong tree as the 'possum hunters
say. Having utterly failed in other
directions finally returned to my
first suspect and watched him closely.
l noticed that he spent most OF the
forenoon in his room. which was d.
rectly over the cashiers department
l entered his room with a skeleton
key, searched 1t and found a number
of bills secreted about his bed. Upon
each OF them was spot from which
wax had been scraped. then exam
ined the floor.
.'Under the bed was movable
panel and in the wooden ceiling OF the
bank a whole an inch in diameter
neatly plugged. Near it were smaller
ones through which views OF every
part OF the interior OF the bank could
be obtained. The cashier usually
came down before banking hours ana
arranged his cash. While doing Sc
he usually made two or three trips
into tho vault and during his absence
the roober would quickly let down @
cord to which was attached small
weight covered with wax. The bill
it touched would adhere to it. wher
It would be quickly drawn up and the
hole plugged. The cashier managed
to catch a fifty-dollar- bill on the fly
and caught the gentleman at the
other end OF the string"

He bad played for her lndyship's within.
Till the poor little head was heavy
And the poor little brain would swim.
And the face grew peaked and eerie
Aud the large eyes arrange and bright;
And they said-too late: HE Is weary!
He shall rest for at least tonight"
But at dawn, when the birds were waking.
AS they watched In the silent RON,
With the sound OF strained cord break

WHAT susTAINs THE MOON.

The Earth Keeps It From Flying Furthes
Away.
We have read how the coffin OF Mo-
manned was poised without support
in the mosque OF the faithful from
which all unbelievers were so rlgidly
excluded; no material support was
necessary to sustain the remains OF
the prophet the body itself seemed
ever on the point OF following the de-
parted spirit to the realms OF bliss. A
perennial miracle was indeed nec-
essary to sustain the revered sar-
cOphagus in space.
doubt is somewhat skeptic about this
marvellous phenomenon. and now. as
ever the truth Is stranger than fiction.
For over our heads there Is q vast
globe larger and heavier than mill
ions OF sarcophagi; no material sup
port Is rendered to the globe. yet
there it is sustained from day to day.
from year to year. from century to
century. ~
What is 1t that prevents the moon
from falling? That is the question
which now lies before us 1t is
assuredly the case that the earth con-
tinually attracts the moon. The eff
feet OF the attraction Is not however.
shown in actually drawing the moon
closer to the earth. for this. as we
have seen. does not happen. but the
attraction OF the earth keeps the moon
from going further away from the
earth than it would otherwise do.
Suppose. for instance. that the at
traction OF the earth were suspended.
the moon would no longer follow its
orbit but would start of in straigh,
line in continuation of the direction in
which it was moving at the moment
when the earth action was inter-
| rupted.
What Newton did was to show. from
the circumference OF the moon dis
lance and movement that it was
attracted by the earth with force oil
the same description as that by which
the same globe attracts the apple. the
difference being that the intensity oil
the force becomes weaker the
greater the distance OF the at.
tracted body from the earth. In fact
the attraction OF the earth on ton oil
matter ut the distance OF the moor
would be withstood by an exertior
not greater than that which would
suffice to sustain about three quarter:
of q pound at the surface OF the
earth.

DID QUAY SAT- IT?

An interview with Senator Quay has
been published in Philadelphia in which
the Senator is reported as saving that he
would not have CullOm delegation from
Pennsylvania, but would have ga Quay
delegation" This, to quote the interview,
''will not necessarily be for or against any
of the Presidential candidates, but will he
at the head of it and will look the ground
over when we get there"
In commenting upon this expression
the Philadelphia Press quotes the sarcasm
of the once-famous Senator Nye, that his
experience at national conventions always
was that he found there 'the Pennsylvania
delegation waiting to be seem" Our CO.
temporary naturally and iustly-suppos-
ing this report to be authentic-makes the
prediction that the present intention is to
adhere to the precedent, with the added
establishment that the dickering is to be
done exclusively for the profit and benefit
of Matthew Stanley Quay.
This is very prominent feature of the
alleged declaration; and yet we should re-
gard another conclusion as more immedi-
ate from such deliverance. 1t is that, if
Senator Quay said anything of the sort, he
must have lost his head at finding himself
left at odds with the Administration and
his expected sheet anchor carried away by
the retirement of Blaine The character
either of Senator Quay or Pennsylvania
politics does not permit much incredulity
as to the intention to take delegation to
Minneapolis for purposes of political mer
chandise. But the advertisement of such
an intention before fifth of the delegates
are chosen is the best way to put him in
peril of not having any goods to deliver.
The public notification that the vote of
Pennsylvania is to be handled for the
glorifcation and advancement of Senator
Quay is the sure way to unite the Admin
istration Republicans on one side, the Sem
ator's rivals in practical politics on another
and all Republicans who may have choice
of their own on the third in the determi-
nation that Pennsylvania s delegation shall
not be ga Quay delegation
At the time of his election Senator Quay
had reputation for perfection in Won
Moltke's art of holding his tongue In all
the languages Indigenous to our politics.
There have been indications at times of
his falling away from his old standard of
gifted taciturnity. But we can hardly be-
lieve that he has yet reached the stage of
fatuous garrulity which would defeat his
own purposes by such a declaration as
that.

A COMPARISON IN PRoMPTITUDE.

As ali instance in refutation of some of
the talk about the laws delays, the New
York Sun cites the progress of justice in a
murder case in that city. A murderer
who committed the crime July "a, was
convicted in December, and the Court of
Appeal affirmed the Judgment February
O. This record the Sun asserts to be a
satisfactory example of reasonable
promptitude"
Yet it is not so very long since large
portion of the American press, including,
we believe, the brilliant cotemporary
quoted, accused the Chilean courts of eX-
cessive and unreasonable delay in reach
ing a Judgment for offenses committed
less than three months before the COM
plants were heard. If it is promptitude
for the New York courts to reach con-
viction five months after a crime in
which the circumstances were clear and
only one defendant was on trial, on what
theory is the charge of delay TO be made
good in a case where the circumstances
were disputed, where there were several
defendants, and in which sentence was
passed little over three months after the
crime?
VIII the esteemed Sun recognize this as
a case of making demands on cur neigh
bors which we would not consider justi-
fable if applied to ourselves? Or is the
difference to be taken as an involuntary
tribute to the effect that the methods of
Latin jurisprudence in vogue in Chile are
much prompter than those of Anglo
Saxon justice in this country?

THE ELECTRICAL DEATH.

THE new system is not only more humane
than hanging-it is more decent.-NeW York

REPORTS indicate that the convict put to
death recently was tortured barbarously.
So far, therefore, the open evidence is
against the electrical method.-Ne,o York
Press.
Irmay be that this method of illegal kill
ing'' is better than hanging. But, some
time the whole civilized world will follow
the example of Michigan and abolish capi-
tai Grand Rapids Herald.
IT is evident that the execution OF the
death peualty by this means will not have
reached the highest stage of perfection
conceivable until second application Of
the current shall not be found necessary

So far as actual physical suffering to the
condemned men is concerned. this is proba-
bly more human than any other method e1-
cent in the garrote, the guillotine being
quite out of the question for American COM
munities.-Ne,U York Times.
The execution of McIlvaine, on the report
ing of which no embargo was laid, was per-
formed expeditiously, and proved once
more the superiority of the new method to
the old, with its frequent blunders and re-
voting sights.-NeU York Tribune.

DEMOCRATIC POSSIBILITIES

The point toward which, as The DIS
PATCH said several months ago, the Demo-
cratic factions in New York were opening
the way has been reached. At least that
Is indicated by the New York Worlds
double-leaded enumeration of candidates
outside New York who. it declares, can be
elected ''on a tariff reform and honest
money platform. The successes of the
Hill faction in New York have killed of
Cleveland, and the World by its recent
support of that faction was consenting
unto his death; while Hill by his later ex-
cesses has sealed his own doom as Presi-
dental quantity. The World therefore
correctly recognizes that candidate must
be sought outside of New York, and names
nine gentlemen whom it deems eligible, as
follows: Boies, of Iowa; Pattison, of Penn
sylvania; Palmer and Fuller, of Illinois,

ANNIVERSARIES OF 1892.

1t is worthy of note, as the New York
Tribune points out that this is to be a
great year for the celebration of impor-
tant anniversaries Besides that which
suggests itself to every American, Spain

of the reconquest of Grenada from the
Moors. France celebrates the centennial

Venice in 1892, England the great naval
victory of Cape La Hogue in 1892, the
passage of Wilberforce's measure in Par
lament in 1892 for the gradual abolition
of the slave trade, and the foundation of
Lincoln Cathedral in 1892 In addition
three of the minor royalties of Europe
celebrate their golden weddings; the King
and Queen of Greece celebrate their silver
wedding; Francis Joseph of Austria COM
memorates the twenty-fifth anniversary
of his coronation; and Prince Henry OF
Reuss announces celebration of the
twenty-ffth anniversary of his accession
