From the New York SUI

From the New York Sun.
Springfield, Mass, April ga daring
daylight bank robbery was committed
to-day in the Office of the R. E. Spencer
Banking Company of Thompsonville,
Conn. Shortly before IL o'clock two
well 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 in
formed Cashier r. d. 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.
Z. Spencer, the president and prin-
cinal owner of the bank, and is
nearly IS wears old Suspecting moth
ing, he went outside the bank TO
meet the supposed business man in
the carriage, who Immediately en-
gagged him in conversation. Mr.. Spencer
forgot, in his anxiety 10 obllge a sup
posed customer, 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
MIR. Spencer was absent from the inside
IF the building, the man left inside had
not been idle. With deft hands he re-
moved every greenback from the money
drawer and vault that he could get sight
of and then stufi3ng his pockets as full OF
silver and gold pieces as he could saun-
tered outside the door and waited for his
pal to cease talking with Cashier Spen-
Ger. Then he entered the carriage with
his pal, and both. after tipping their hats
10 the Old cashier, drove rapidly away To-
ward the southern end of the town.
The robbery evidently was committed
after long deliberation by men who had
full and complete knowledge OF the habits
of the officers of the bank. They knew
AT what hour the bank was practically IN
charge of only one nan. The men drove
M 10 the institution only few minutes
after President Spencer had left the build

deserted. A few moments after they had
driven away a large crowd filed the
streets on their way TO dinner;
Cashier Spencer, upon returning 10 the
building, did not notice anything wrong
at first IL was not until he went TO the
money drawer to look over his cash on

DEGRADED RUSSIA.
Its Social Aspect and Moral Condition in
the Eighteenth Century.

Its Social Aspect and Moral Condition In
the Eighteenth Century.
Peter the Great said of his country,
and said truly: Russia is rotten be-
fore she is ripe" To realize the true
meaning of these words and the full.
ness Of their implication, one must
study in detail the reigns Of Elizabeth
and Catherine ii. In Russia, during
the eighteenth century, were to be
found side by side the vices alike of
savagery and civilization. Add to the
lack of social instinct, of humanity in
the wider sense, and of moral respon-
sibility that is to be found in Zulu
kraal, the worst corruptions that are
bred in courts like that of Louis XIV,
and one can form some faint notion OF
the Russian capital under Elizabeth
and Catherine.
The country, as a whole, was orien-
tai in its want Of civil organization,
but without the idealism of the east.
The capital was welter Of blood and
lust, barbarism and sophistry, atheism
and superstition, drunkenness and
savage violence, Incidence and semi
insane activity. The moral condition
was reflected in the physical. Never
was there such mixture of squaloi
and magnifcence as in the palaces o.
the Empress Elizabeth. The rudest
and the most costly furniture were
fumbled together. Filth and splendor
were always alternating, and the vilest
food was eaten off plates Of gold
