eAFFIEp ROBBERS.

desperate Attempt to Hold Up Train
IN TexAs-The Fireman Instantly Killed
One of the Robbers Captured and tho
united states Marshal and Posse In Pur-
suie OF the Others-A Brave Conductor.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, June 29.-The
ooidest attempt at train robbery that
ever occurred in Texas took place yes
terday afternoon about $50 o'clock,
near the village of Breckenridge. in
wilson county, 35 miles south of this
city. The train held up was the San
Antonio & Arkansas Pass passenger No.
8, leaving here at leo p. m. The af-
1alr resulted in the killing of E. w.
Martin, the fireman, and the capturing
OF one of the robbers, who gives his
name as J. w. May, a cowboy.
AT Breckenridge the train stopped
to take water. and when it pulled out
three men boarded the blind baggage
without being seen. The train had
just entered a sharp curve a few hum
dred yards from the tank, when the
robber May climbed upon the tender,
and with a 45-caliber pistol in each
hand ordered Engineer Tierney and
Fireman Martin to throw up their
hands Tierney did so, but Martin
made a move as though about to Sc
cure a revolver from n box under his
seat The robber then emptied a SIX
shooter into Martin, keeping Tierrey
covered with the other pistol. Mar
tins body fell out of the gangway onto
the track. where it was run over by the
cars and mutilated.
The other two robbers, seeing the
body fall, jumped from the baggage
car platform and made for the brush.
The passengers rushed upon the plat
form and fired at the retreating men.
The robber, May, made a last des-
perate effort to capture the train him
self, ordering the engineer to run
the train across the Indian river
bridge. Instead of complying he put
on the air brakes. The robber threw
the throttle valve wide open, but the
train would not move, and he jumped
and started up the track on a run.
Conductor Ed Steele jumped into the
cab and cut loose from the train, pur-
suing the fleeing May. When over
taken May ran into the brush with
Steele after him. The conductor cap
tured him, however, and will receive
$1,000 reward. May refuses to talk.

The AMERICAN METROPOLIS.

ChEcssso Chains That Title Now, Having
Taken . Columbian Bound Into First
Place In Point of Population-Over Two
Millions of Permanent Residents of tho
Windy Cfty-@Only . Step to Financial
Supremacy.
CHICAGO, June 29.-The Evening Post
claims that Chicago is the metropolis
of America Within the legal limits of
this city there lives at this moment a
permanent resident population of q
0oe, 600 souls Chicago's population is
about 400, 900 larger than New York.
The cityss growth during the past two
years has been extraordinary. 1t has
been the most wonderful in all her
magical history. At a single leap
she places herself at the head of the
line of American cities. and has en-
tered into swift competition with
London and Paris for still higher hon
'ors. The government census taken in
June and July 1890, gave the Chicago a
population of 1,10O.000 in round num-
bers- Two years later Tin 1922 the
school census gave the population as
,43S. 600. There is no school census
this year, but the city directory, which
will be issued about the middle of July,
will contain approximately 1880
pages and $40, 900 names. One a
basis of to this would
give Chicago population of 2, 16O, OOO
That figure is probably not far out of
the way. If four to one is the correct
basis of calculation in New York,
Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Cincinnati, St
Louis, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Buffalo,
Detroit and other large cities land it is
accepted by the leading statisticians
OF all those cities without question:,
there Is no good reason why it should
not be applied here.
Chicago is already in the lead in COM
mercial and industrial Importance. 1t
Is the greatest city in population.
From these points of vantage it is
only step TO financial supremacy.
From the very nature of Chicago's ma
terial development during the last ten
years, and more particularly during
the last two and a half or three years,
ut Is clear that the increase in popula-
ton has been largely in the influx of
new families The increase has been
of character to bring the ratio Of
population nearer to 1 than it ever
has before, and to establish the fact
that there is substantial basis for the
2, 000, 900.

ONE EFFECT OF TRADE UNIONS

The Position of the American Boy in Re-
gard to American Labor.
Shall American boys be permitted to
learn trades, and, having learned them
shall they be permitted to work at
them? These are apparently simple
questions, and the answering of them
is an apparently simple matter. Most
persons thus Intercepted would reply
at once: Certainly they should. Why
do you ask such unnecessary ques-
tions?" We ask them because under
the present conditions of trade instruc-
ton and employment in this country
the American boy has no rights which
organized labor is bound to respect. He
is denied instruction as an apprentice,
and if he be taught his trade in a trade
school, he is refused admission to near
ly all the trade unions, and is boycott
ted if he attempts to work as nom
union man. The questions of his char
acter and skill enter into the matter
only to discriminate against him.
All the trade-unions of the country
are controlled by foreigners. who COM
prise the great majority of their mem
bers. While they refuse admission to
the trained American boy. they admit
all foreign applicants with little or no
regard to their training or skill. In
fact, the doors of organized labor in
America, which are closed and barred
against American boys, swing open,
wide and free, to all foreign corners.
Labor in free America is free to all
save the sons of Americans.
These are neither idle nor exaggerat-
ed statements They are sober solemn
truths, expressed with studied modera-
ton. So-called American labor to-day
is a complete misnomer, as far as the
trades are concerned. How has it
come about that the United States,
alone among the nations of the earth.
has not merely surrendered possession
of her field of mechanical labor to for
eigners, but acquiesces when the for
eign possessors exclude from that field
her own sons?-Century.

PURGING THE ROLLS.

A Long List of Names to be Dropped by
the Pension Bureau.
WASHINGTON, June 29.-The work of
purging the pension rolls of imposters
has apparently begun in earnest. Fol-
lowing the instructions of Secretary
Smith, the pension officials have inau-
gurated search of the files of the of
fee for such cases as are clearly fraud
ulent, and quite large number have
been found. Yesterday a long list of
names was sent to Secretary Smith by
Commissioner Lochren, giving, in adj
dition to the name, number of pension
certificates, and such other data as
were deemed essential with the recon-
mendation. which has been approved,
that the same be dropped from the
pension rolls. The work of examining
the rolls with the view to the detection
of fraud will be prosecuted with vigor,
and at the same time current issues
will be carefully scrutinized with the
same object.

So George arose and donned Some

felt his way downstairs, growing all

OF course he didn't find the fish, be-
cause it was in plain sight, but he
tipped things over and spluttered and

By the dawn's early light she saw

Making People Uncomfortable.


There seems to be sort of mania in
the minds of certain persons for doing
something to make others uncomforta-
BILE or ridiculous, or to frighten or
worry those who are younger or more
timid than themselves Aside from
such practices being decidedly i'll
bred. they are dangerous, unchristian
and unfeeling, and are never INDUCED
in by people of considerable minds and
good hearts. And it is not at all worth
while to amuse oneself in any such
ways. for there are plenty of legiti-
mate and pleasant entertainments
short of this. Those persons who can
not find amusement in rational forms
of enjoyment will do well to remain by
themselves and spare their friends the
embarrassment and discomfort of their
presence.-N. Y. Ledger.

Bourbon ublican newspapers like
the New York Tribune, and bourbon
republican speakers like Gov. Mckin-
ley, in attempting to make their con-
stituents believe that such commercial
urbances as the country has re-
Gently been experiencing are due sole
" to the presence of a democratic add
ministration at Washington, presume
very largely on the ignorance of the
persons whom they address. The Trib-
une has been preaching persistently for
several weeks the doctrine that the
public confidence is lacking from the
mere fact that the country has demo-
cratic president. But it would be very
silly country that would throw up its
hands in despair three months after it
had seated a man in the presidential
chair by one of the largest electoral
majorities ever given. Il the country
had distrusted Mr.. Cleveland and his
party it would have manifested that
feeling at the polls last November. and
not waited to do itself an injury by
expressing such distrust in May and
June. The bourbon republicans also
take it for granted that the persons
they address have remarkably poor
memories. If they did not they
would not challenge a reference to
the long list of important business
failures that followed the election of
Harrison in 1855. Between November

failures in various branches of business,

number for the first six months after
Harrison's election being Gill. All
this followed the success of ticket

and the turning over to a new admins

silver law. President Cleveland, going
back into Office, finds practically
empty treasury and burdensome tariff
law and ruinous silver law. both en-
acted since the expiration of his former
term, and both bearing the signature of
a republican president. To hold him
and his party in themselves responsible
for the recent business unrest in such
circumstances is almost too ridiculous
for serious notice. If the democratic
congress refuses to reform the tariff
law and repeal the silver law its respon-
sibility for resultant conditions will be
definitely settled.-N. Y. Post.
