the fair ones were without hats. and

INa long and admirable article on The
English Language" the Boston Adver.
tiser says
It has many times been said that the
English language is one Of the most
dihenlt for foreigners to learn; and the
Inference has been drewn that this fact
Is due TO the complex and intricate
nature OF the Anglo-Saxon speech. Il is
~ least interesting. therefore to find a
logical statement OF an entirely different
theory to the effect that the English
language is one Of the most simple and
most easy learned among all the tongues
Of civilized nations. and that If the Ian
enage were properly taught, as foreign
languages are, to children in their early
years. there would be no difficulty ia
securing a general use of pure and schol
ariy English wherever that language IS
spoken Such at least was the view

FLAGGED BY BANDITS.
A SANTA FE TRAIN ROBBED IN
KANSAS.
The Californfa Express Held Up by Five
Men, who Secured $4,000 = Ex-
press Messenger whittIesey's
heroic Conduct.

CnMARRoN, Kan, June 10.-The Cali
fornia express, west bound, on the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, was
held up near here and the express car
robbed of $4,000 early this morning by
five bandits, who tagged the train and
forced the fireman and engineer at the
point of revolvers to accompany them
to the express car. Express Messenger
Whittlesey refused to open the doors.
The robbers fred into the car and
wounded the messenger, who still refused
TO open. Then the robbers blew open
the door with dynamite and rided the
car of everything OF value, except what
was contained in the through safe.
Whittlesey ia not seriously hurt. He ia
the messenger who stood off the Dalton
gang at Red Rock year ago.
While two bandits were going through
the express car, three companions atood
outside, firing at the passenger coaches
and otherwise intimidating the passeng-
ers. Ten thousand dollars in currency
and some jewelry were hidden BY the
messenger and not found by the out
laws. No attempt was made to rob the
passengers, and as. soon as the outlaws
had cleaned out the express safe thew
fired a parting volley, put spurs to their
horses and dashed off southwark. The
train was run back to Cimarron and the
alarm given. A sheriff's posse was soon
in pursuit, but could only track the
outlaws a few miles where they stopped
and divided their booty, as several dol
lars were found.

President Hill of the Great Northern
Road Expresses His Views.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, June 10.--In view of
the close personal relations existing be-
tween President Cleveland and Presi-
dent J. M. Hill of the Great Northern
road, the following expressions by the
latter, in response to a toast at the BAN
quet to him here last night, are con-
Bidered significant:
"The last month or six weeks has
been stormy one financially, but the
country at large is prosperous. The
conditions of the country are more than
usually favorable, and the con-
ditions of our northwest are GER
tainly as promising as they have been
at any time during the past 10
years. II there is one thing more than
another that has caused jolts, it is the
attempt on the part of those charged
with our legislation to tinker with mat
ters that cannot be controlled by legis.
lation. Commercial laws are as certain
in their operation as the laws of nature.
Commercial laws carry with them the
means to execute themselves. They
enforce their own penalty. Take
the condition of our country
bOU6y Ou0 TO our QnHn~
cial legislation. If we could
remove the so-called Sherman act we
would have what no country can do
without; we would have confidence. l
think the United States today stands
better than any part of the world for in
vestment. Ii we could remove the one
condition brought about through the
want of knowledge on the part of the
men who were responsible for it, have
no doubt we would begin an era of pros-
perity the like of which we have
never had. You can no more mend
u financial or commercial condition by
Legislation than you can mend broken
limb by statute, and l hope the time
will come when our people will see that
the protection of every man in his
natural rights will be the reasonable
limit of our legislation, and when all
our commercial matters will be gov
erned by commercial law and CONNER
cal uses."
