o'clock this morning, was held up one mills

six masked men. The safe in the express
car was robbed of its contents, S1,222 in
cash Two of the men boarded the train
at bonneville, concealing themselves be-
hind the tender. AS IL started they
climbed over the tender. covered the en-
gineer and fireman with pistols and told
engineer Jenkins to stop when ordered.
About a mile from bonneville the order
given and the train brought to
standstill. Then four other masked men
joined the party. and while two kept the
engineer covered the others proceeded to
get into the express car Conductor Farris
came out with a train hand to investigate
the cause for stopping, but did not stand
on ceremony when ordered to return TO
his car. While two of the men kept watch
the other two ordered messenger Calder to
open the door, He refused. but he was
told he had better get out OF the car. He
heard one of the men lighting fuse. and
before he could reach the corner a dy-
Mantle cartridge exploded, breaking the
door from its fastenings and complot7
stunning the messenger. When he came 70
he was looking into the barrel of a pistol
and was. ordered to throw up his hands.
He did not hesitate long. and when told
to open the safe he did so, taking the
packages out as ordered. The robber
uhere was only one in the carr gathered
up the money in his arms and Went to
Join his associates. They got on the engine,
made the fireman uncouple it from the
cars, and then compelled both engineer and
fireman to leave it. They then ran the
engine up to point in the wood near Ar
gyle eleven miles from the scene of the
robbery, where they left it and took to the
woods.
Ex-Sheriff Hurst, of Thomas county. at
the head of a posse. reached the scene
about four hours later. and with pack
of hounds from McRae's convict camp
started in pursuit OF the robbers. who were
thought to have gone off in the direction
of Okefenokee swamp. The officials be-
lieve the posse has the right trail and that
the robbers will be captured. The robbers
did not enter the mail car nor any of the
passenger coaches, their only apparent OBJ
iect being to secure the money in the ex-
press car. The passengers were consider
ably alarmed for the time being, but no
one was hurt.

Since crime is known to move in waves,
it is not surprising that Russian govern
ment officials are exercising renewed watch
fulness over the safety of the Car. Similar
precautions are probably being taken to
protect other European rulers. for though
no such animosity has been expressed to-
ward any of them as toward the Gar,
yet it is impossible to say where an An
archist will strike, and if Carnot was a
victim no man in high place in that coun-
try can consider himself secure while An
archists are at large.

guished persons than any other artist of
his time In 1s41. while in Paris. he painted
Louis PHILIPPE. and the King was so pleased
with the picture that he commissioned the
artist TO go to America and paint the por-
traits of the most distinguished Americans
for him. Under this commission Healy
painted portraits of Webster Clay. jack

Versailles. Returning to Europe. he painted
Pope Plus TX. NJ. Theirs, Guizot. Gambetta,

The bravery of the Lyons police in fight
ing off the mob which would have torn in
pieces the assassin of President Carnot
was not more admirable than the swiftness
and precision with which the detectives
unraveled the details of the crime. So far
as known Santo the assassin, had never
been in Lyons before Saturday last. and.
therefore, could not have been personally
known to the police. The crime was COM
mitted on Sunday. yet within thirty-six
hours they were able TO give his birth
place. occupation. antecedents and details
of his recent movements. They had dis
covered that he came from Cette to Lyons
by way of Vienna, and that being unable
miles of the way. with sixty centimes in
his pocket-mind you, just sixty centimes-
reaching Lyons Saturday afternoon. Com
munication with the police in Italy revealed
the fact that he had quarreled with his
employer on Friday and left his place, and
that on the same day he purchased from
gunsmith for five francs the dagger which
he used on President Carnot. This and
much more was learned about Santo within
thirty-six hours after the crime was CONF
mitted. 1t will hardly do to call the
French police stupid or slow.

The public will never be deeply in sym
pathy with strikers whose boycotts or
strikes interfere seriously with it's pleas
ure and convenience. and Mr.. Debs's Rail-
way Un,on will not find itself upheld by
popular approval in its proposed boycott of
the Pullmans But the objection to this
fight against the sleeping car company will
be wholly on the ground that it causes
annoyance and discomfort to travellers. and
not because the public wishes the Pull
mans to win. AS a matter of fact, this
company has not won the gratitude and
liking of its patrons. For years travellers
have paid high prices for Indifferent ac-
commodations and in addition have paid the
salaries of Pullman employees. and are
therefore not filled with a lively sense of
benefits received. They use the Pullman
cars because there is no help for it. but
never without feeling that the manu-
facturers might offer them something better
than the stuffy, musty quarters that were
well enough experiment. when first
invented, but have not kept pace with other
modern Improvements. If the public which
goes out into the world in cars should re-
solve to strike against the impositions
which have been heaped on it the result
might be beneficial.

1t is not unnatural and yet it is un-
reasonable that the French mob should be
venting its wrath against everything
from Italy. Mobs are not intelligent, and
do not reflect a little bit. If they did it
would readily occur to Frenchmen that
the assassin might have been a Russian,
as an Italian. Premier Crispi put the case
exactly when he said Anarchists have no

by Anarchists of all nationalities and by
no other class.

The Wnnderer's Return.

He came back to his boyhood home
After some forty years;
And when he looked upon the scene
His old eyes filled with tears
Upon the oldtime commons, where
He'd played with bat and ball, .ae
There rose into the smoky air
A warehouse grim and tall.
OF all the scenes he once had known
He could not find a trace:
Nor could he find among the crowd
One dear, familiar face.
Naught could he find that was not changed
UNTIL across the way,
He saw billboard with these words.
