FORTUNE BURIED.
Sensational Story in Connection with
the MinneapOlis Bank KobbcrY.


MINNEAPoLIs, MINI, March 13-The
Eloy d brothers, whose sensational trial
has been the talk of Minneapolis for two
weeks past and who were found guilty of
completely in the famous steal of Phil
Scheig from the Bank of Minneapolis
were seen at the county Jail by a United
Press reporter, and in talking of the case
made the startling statement that Pml
Sheig had $4,000 buried in the neighbor-
hood OF Chicago. From 1888 to 1892 Lou
Floyd says Shieg spent about $4,000, and
| from 1892 to the time OF his capture he
did not spend over $4,000 Sheig placed
his total stealings at Sl23, 2s7. 40, LEAVING,
according to Lou, a balance of $4,000 to
be accounted for. Sheig emphatically de
nies that he has any money planted and
says that he has spent all the money he
stole, while Lou adds that when Sheig
comes out of Saltwater he will again roll
in wealth. The Floyd boys are making
the best of their conviction and taking
matters as philosophically as possible.
Mrs. Floyd refuses to be separated from
them and lies on cot in the cage room
at the county jail, moaning Historically.
1t is understood that a strong effort will
! be made to obtain new trial for the
boys and that other matters concerning
| Sheig's past life will be gone into, which
will make the trial very sensational.

iTcsDJteFy Meetlng.
NEW York, March IA The calm which
attended the monthly meeting of the
New York Tresbytery was considerably
disturbed by the introduction of the
Briggs issue. 1t came up when four
young men presented themselves to the
presbytery and asked its care until they
entered the ministry. DR. G. L. Sheser
wanted to know if the young men were
attending any seminary not recom-
mended by the general assembly. DIR.
John Hall said he did not think it was
right to be too exacting, inasmuch as
these young men had, no doubt, entered
the seminaries in which they studied be-
fore any differences arose. In the spirit
of peace, he asked that the young men be
admitted. DR.. Shearer stuck to his issue.
1t was found that two of the men were
seniors in the Union seminary AMI one q
Junior. They were admitted by a big
majority.

HIDING INSTEAD OF SEEKING.

Between Senator Hill n ex-Speaker
Sulzer. the United States senate is hav-
Ing a hard task In It's attempt to change
the charge that Senators gambled in
Sugar certificates pending the debate on
the sugar schedule, into an arraignment
OF newspaper correspondents for not be-
traying their professional obligations.
1t is common report at Washington
that Senators held secret meetings with
Mr.. Havemeyer pending the c%onsidera-
ton of the sugar schedule, and that
they specialized In the stock and made
money through the fluctuations in the
market consequent on the Senate's ac-
ton. What does 1t matter where the
newspaper correspondent obtained his
first knowledge OF that report? Its
truth or falsity must be sought from the
Senators accused The side issue OF the
contumacy of witnesses Is raised to de.
feat the real inquiry and to cover up
the truth. as Mr.. Sulzer charges.
THE Evening World told Its readers
that the Investigation OF the plain, d.
rect charge that Senators had been
offered brides to vote to continue the
Mckinley protective tariff in existence
was loaded down with other matter for
the purpose OF defeating real investiga-
ton. The result proves the truth OF this
assertion. The investigating commit
tees work is a sham and a fraud.

WISE AND LIBERAL.

The Third Avenu Cable Company has
set a good example to other corporations
by raising the wages OF its conductors
from WI dollars n twenty-five cents
to two dollars n a half q day. and Of
its gripmeu from two dollars to two dol
lars and a quarter. The act of the Com
pany Is the more commendable because
entirely voluntary. The men did not
ask for the increase. although they are
gratihed n grateful.
The pa -t the new rate Is not too
great. Both conductors and gripmen
occupy responsible and trying positions.
They are called upon to exercise unceas-
ing vigilance to avoid accidents. The
constant oko for passengers. and the
stopping and starting Of trains when
passengers board the cars or alight
from them. Ia really a mental as well Us

duties are faithfully performed they
ought to be we'll remunerated. The in

1t ought to be. II II is to afford the en-
ployees a fair living. 1t Is hard for n

MEMORIAL DAY.

To-day the nation shows her respect
and affection for her heroes by decorat-
ing The graves OF her dead soldiers and
sailors who gave up their lives to pre-
serve the American Union and make 1t
stronger. grander and more glorious
than ever before.
1t was a happy thought to dedicate q
day to such an object. 1t keeps alive
patriotic sentiments In peoples minds.
1t creates a respect for bravery and
devotion by the constantly recurring
tribute OF Memorial Day observances.
1t Is a proof OF the nations ~constancy
to the memory OF her heroes. for how
few Of us think of thus yearly honoring
the resting places OF those we have
loved and lost In this world? BY spread
Ing Its tribute over all graves without
distinction It has lone its share towards
burying the animosities of the wal and
restoring union and fraternity every
where.
All honor to the day. May It's observ-
ance remain with US not to familiarize
US with the horrors of war, but to re-
mind us Of the blessings OF peace; not to
recall our dissensions. but to remind us
that we are now a united American
people n that bravery and devotion
are qualities that adorn the men OF
every section OF the country, North and
South. a and West.
