THE CASHIER HOODWINKED.
Two Robbers Smoothly Loot a Con
necticut Bank.

A daring daylight bank robbery was COM
mitted in the office of the R. E. Spen-
Ger Banking Company of Thompson
Vile, Conn. Shortly before ~ O'Clock two
we'll dressed young men drove up to the
banking house. Stopping the horse in
front Of the door, one of the men alighted
and entered the bank and informed Cashier
r. q. Spencer, who was alone at the time
that he was wanted outside by the man in the
carriage: Mr.. Spencer, the cashier, is the
father OF r. E. Spencer, the President and
principal owner of the bank, and is nearly
sixty-flve years old. Suspecting nothing
he went outside the bank to meet the
supposed business man in the car
riage, who Immediately engaged him
in conversation. Mr.. Spencer forgot, in
his anxiety to oblige q supposed Gus
toner, that he was leaving an entire stranger
in the bank alone, with the safe and money
drawer unlocked This is what the men had
evidently counted upon, for during the few
minutes Mr.. Spencer was absent from the in
side of the building, the man left inside had
not been idle. With deft hands he removed
every greenback from the money drawer and
vault that he could get sight of and then stuff
ing his pockets as full of silver and gold
pieces as he could sauntered outside the
door and waited for his pal to cease talking
with Cashier Spencer. Then he entered the
carriage with his pal, and both, after tipping
their hats to the old cashier, drove rapidly
away toward the southern end of the town.
Cashier Spencer, upon returning to the
building, did not notice anything wrong at
Grst. It was not until he went to the money
drawer to look over his cash on hand that he
discovered the robbery. He then rushed to
the door with the warning cry of stop,
thefr' but discovered that the men had
made good their escape, disappearing as
completely as though the earth had swal-
lowed them.
Word was sent to the Police Headquarters
of the town Immediately and also to Presi-
dent Spencer who hurried to the bank to
learn the full extent of the loss. Aftera care
full examination it was found that about
$500 was taken from the bank. The rob-
hers drove piano-box top buggy and large
sorrel horse.
1t is evident that the robbers started from
Springfield, Mass. About o'clock a man
appeared at Eastman's stables, Water
street there, and asked for a horse and buggy
to go to Thompsonviile. About 1 o'clock
the rig appeared, driven by two boys, one
about fifteen and the other eighteen years
old The horse had been driven very hard.
The boys said that they lived near
the South End Bridge. They were at work
in the garden in front of the house when the
rig appeared and man called to them. At
the same time he and another man jumped
out and asked the boys to take the team to
Springfield. 1t was thought that the robbers
crossed the bridge to Mittineague or some
nearby railroad station, where they took
train.

Thousands Dying From Hunger.

The amount of suffering and misery that
Russian peasants are now undergoing In
somo OF the Governments In the interior
cannot be imagined by those unacquainted
with this country. In the Government of
Kursk, which may be taken as an example.
the peasants are entirely without the means
of existence. In some villages, where there
are from 400 to SEQ inhabitants, it would be
impossible to find as much rs two roubles-
about a dollac-among them, and all the
crops which they gathered last year have
long been sold. How these poor wretches
are TO exist-it cannot be said that they live
till the next harvest 1t is impossible to con-
ceive. In the Government OF Oxenburg the
inhabitants of entire districts are dying of
want. Some of the poor creatures, It is
stated, allow themselves the luxury of a
piece of bread once every two days, but the
general food is millet bread, which, when the
loaves are baked and still warm, look like
cement, and, when they become cold, are
harder. If possible. than stones.

Two wings of the California WON
ems Suffrage Association are in full
blast In San Francisco, each with ,
full set of officers and each claiming
to be the only legalized body in the
state.
Laura De Forest Gorden heads
one faction and Nellie Holbrook
Blinn the other.
Some months ago the Blinn ring
voted the Gordon forces out at the
primaries, butt Mrs. Gordon who has
been the President of the Associat-
ION TOR over Iquarter of a century
refuses to go.ous. Hense the split.
This Is the way when women get
into politics.
With men when one faction gets
downed it rises up as one man and
shouts for the victors, all hands fall
onto each others necks-and the
candidate assessments-and the ball
goes on.
But women. always unsympathiz-
ing, refuse to accept any sort of de-
feat and IN any way abide by the
rules of the ring.
Mrs. Gordon was fairly beaten in
the election last winter and the
graceful way would have been to
surrender the scepter. This would
also have been polite and helped to
advance the cause.
Now when this legislature meets
there will be two factions at Sacra-
