A Steel Fence to BE Constructed
Around the Treasury Vaults

Around the Treasury Vaults.
1t is learned that some of the infiuent tial
friends Of young James Anderson, the mes
senger who recently abstracted $40 silver
dollars from the treasury vaults, have re-
imbursed the government for the loss and
are making efforts to have the case against
him discontinued with what chances of
success it is impossible to state. In order
to make the silver vaults more secure the
treasury officials are having constructed n
steel fence around three sides of them, and
hereafter the general public will not be
permitted to pass around them as hereto
fore. Anderson, it is said, did not attempt
to get into the vaults, but by reaching
through the grating, with the aid of a
chisel, succeeded in prying open one of the
boxes containing silver dollars and then
helped himself.

A religious riot in miniature has taken

tum Sanctorum." The Snowman was
dressed in the rough robes and cowl of a
Capuchin monk and professed to show
inside several relics or curiosities, in
Guiding the apple which tempted Eve
and the whale which swallowed Jonah.
The youths, who were about 200 strong.
called on the profane Barnum to desist
from his mockeries, but he only re-
doubled his patter and directed more at
tention to his show A neighboring
orange merchant had to bear the conse-
quences of all this, for his stand was pill
LACED by the Catholics, who pelted the
Snowman with the fruit of the Hesperides
until he had to retreat inside what he
had really to use as sanctuary for his
own protection. The police then came
up and charged the rioters, who wanted
to wreak more effective vengeance on
