satchel from his hand and rushed out OF
the Office, slamming the door as they
went. They rode down In an elevator
very unconcernedly ard made their es-
cape. Drake notified the Central station
as soon as possible. and every detective
that Inspector Shea could spare was put
on the case. IL was the most daring and
sensational robbery that has occurred In
Chicago'in many years.
GREAT EXCITEMENT.
Occurring as Il did in one of the best
known office buildings I'm the city. right In
the vicinity of the heart of the business
centre. the robbery caused the greatest
excitement. The early hour selected by
the thieves Is all that prevented their
immediate capture.
IL has been the custom OF the Treasurer
TO pay the employees OF the road In
checks Had the custom been continued,
the startling robbery would not have been
attempted In all probability, but within
the past week the officials OF he company
decided to pay the men In currency.
From the story told by Treasurer Drake.
IT appears evident that the robbers knew
OF this change. In some way they learned
that Drake intended TO call at the office.
get the money and take an early train.
They must have followed him into the
building. around the north corridor of the
ninth floor and waited until he had Sc
cured the money from the vault. Then
they sprang on him. struck him several
swift blows on the head with weapon,
presumably a sandbag, and when he sank
TO the floor insensible seized the hand
bag ami successfully escaped into the
street.

berry o secret Mr.. Whitehead. general

tions Of the faithful, for in these davs
steel and steam are the allies Of faith,
and the pilgrims leaving New York
harbor early this February expect to en-
joy Palm Sunday in Rome and Easter
in Jerusalem, visit many places of in
terest between times and be in New York
again for the May festivals.
AS might have been expected Jubilee
years have greatly multiplied. The first
was proclaimed by Pope Boniface VIII
in 1900. and the blessing was granted
only to such as had made pilgrimage
to the shrine Of the apostles at Rome.
Once in century was the time at first,
but Popes Clement V, Urban VIII and
Sixtus IV reduced the period success
sively to so, 80 and 25 years. Now ju-
bllee is ordered even more frequently
that is for any important event-and that
OF 1898 is proclaimed by Pope Leo XIII
in honor of the 50th anniversary of his
conservation as a bishop And it is but
justice to add thatmany Protestants will

Catholics that i'll this era Of doubt and

and in a peculiar garb, so he no longer
returns from Jerusalem with a palm in
his hand. AS the pilgrim no longer
walks, so the crusader no longer fights,
and the palmer, or returned pilgrim, is no
longer sole survivor out Of many who
started, for, though the Turk is still
nominal ruler Of Jerusalem, England
rules the Turk, the Jatfa railroad is COM
pleted, and tickets are sold and baggage
checked from London to Gethsemane.
So it is rather matter of surprise that the
first organized pilgrimage from the
United States to the Holy Land was in
February, 1889.
On the 21st of that month the steamer
Wieland lsft the Hoboken dock with 1O1
Catholics bound for Jerusalem, and at
least Is times as many were there to see
them start. In the pilgrim band were
35 priests, including 2 bishops, and Is
ladies, all under the direction of Father
Charles Vissani Franciscan, who organ
lied the band. Just previous to their
departure the pilgrims went in solemn
procession to St. Patrick's cathedral,
the noted and beautiful edifce on Fifth
avenue, New York, where high mass was
celebrated by the Right Rev. Bishop
Wigger of Newark, and Archbishop Cor
rigan delivered an address to the pill
grims.
They carried with them q silken BAN
ner thought by many to be the finest
ever manufactured in the United States,
and religious and patriotic enthusiasm
rose to the highest pitch when it was un-
furled, for one side was devoted to the
nation and the other to the faith. This
banner was, or rather is, 8 feet high and
5 feet wide. The diverse side has a

Perkins term, of course. expires as
soon as the legislature chooses a success
sor to fill out Plulnbs term. Plumb
would have served until March 3, 1895,
had he lived. When the Kansas legisla-
ture met recently, as all newspaper
readers know, there was dual organi-
zation of the house, the senate being rn-
disputed. Neither Populists nor Repub-
icans were able to get the necessary
quorum to vote for some time at the
joint sessions Of house and senate which
We're held for the purpose of electing
United States senator. Finally the
Populists indorsed the candidacy of the
Democratic nominee, Judge John Mar
tin OF Topeka, and on the following day
he was declared elected by the Populist
lieutenant governor in his capacity as
presiding officer of the joint session.
The Republicans dispute the legality
OF the election mainly on the ground
that Judge Martin did not receive the
votes Of a majority of the members of
both houses, The Pop11lists and Demo-
Gratis take the position that this was not
necessary; that the votes which Judge
Martin got from members whose right
to sit was unquestioned, added to those
which were cast against him, constituted
a quorum Of the legislature. which ,,1ata,-
it legal body. Judge Martin, having
received majority Of this majority, has
been, they aver. elected according to
law. These are the contentious of the
two sides, and from whatever viewpoint
it is regarded it presents very interest
ing puzzle to the layInan.
Judge John Martins parents were ma
tives of South Carolina Who were living
in Wilson county. Tenn. when the en-
blyonic statesman first appeared ON the
mundane s"cne, the exact date being
Nov. II, 1883. Young Martin early
evinced a liking for the law and as soon
as his education was completed com
menced the study Of the profession in
Lebanon, Tenn. When Rush Elmore
as United States district judge went to
Kansas i'll 1855, Mr.. Martin accompanied
him and has resided there ever since.
Most Of this time his home has been in
Topeka, where he still lives.
When the territorial legislature met in
Shawnee county in 1857 Mr.. Martin
was elected clerk. He became assistant
United States attorney the following
year and reporter Of the supreme court
in 1860. In 1872 he was elected to the
legislature and in 1888 took his seat as
judge Of the district court of Shawnee
county.
Judge Martin has always been an
ardent Democrat and has been honored
by his party in various ways. He ran
for governor in 1876 and for congress in
1886 and 1888, but failed of election on
each occasion. Judge Martin is II law
yer Of acknowledged ability. His fam
lily consists Of a wife and one daughter.

Making all allowances for the exag-
geration of sanguine projectors, it may
still be believed that the islands could
produce 100000 tons of sugar yearly.
The climate is the most equable in the
world-how equable may be judged from
the fact that the native language has no
word for weather" For u years the
mercury on the plains and in the port
towns has never once risen above 90 de-
grees or sunk below 45 degrees. On the
montains one may easily find it much
colder, and there are ranges rising to a
height of $4,000 feet and containing those
wonderful volcanoes of which every
schoolboy has read.
And in this wonderful region where,
according to experts, the greatest fertility
and the highest average Of salubrity are
found on the same soil CONTRARY to the
usual rule) there are but $4,000 people.

Republican Recommendations.

There has been some talk since the re-
suit OF the late presidential election be-
came known concerning the necessity
for reorganization of the Republican
party. just what is meant by reorga1l-
tzation is not clear. If it is only pro-
posed that changes shat he made in the
method Of conducting political cam.
palgns in order to secure u better can
vass and more accurate information as
to the political affiliations or preferences
Of electors; to bring those who are tenn
porarily charged with the management
Of the campaign and the party leaders
into touch with the masses, and to pro-
vide more effective means for reaching
the individual voter, no one will oues-
ton the necessity. If, againsby the re-
organization of the Republican party is
meant the Abandonment of those pri1lci-
pies of the party which are supposed to
have met with popular disapproval, such
reorganization is impossible. Itwould
involve a final dissolution of the party.
Any party which can adopt new prin-
ciples to meet every chance emergency,
and which has no higher aim than pub
lie plumber, is not worthy to receive, and
cannot hope long to retain, the support
of that portion of the country without
which no party can succeed. It has been
gravely suggested that the Republican
party should seek success by an abandon
ment or a modification of it's position
upon the tariff, by the adoption of some
modified financial proposition which
would satisfy supposed popular de-
mand, or by a formal declaration against
federal control of federal elections. The
Republican party must look for success
in the triumph of its principles, and not
by trimming its sails to catch every popu-
lar breeze.-Senator Dolph in North
American Review.

if not Of fortune. English history tells
Of the oratory of Fox, of Chatham, of

yond their efforts remains the memory

he knew what to say; he said it, and
thereafter he was silent Proctor Knott

a classic in American oratory.
