of Brazil, is a gentleman of far more tact
and conciliatory spirit than either Of his
predecessors in that office He has met
the insurgents of Rio Grande ia broad
and statesmanlike way, promising them,
in so far as lay in his power, redress for
grievances. and has apparently secured
their loyal support to his government.
Truly. peace hath her victories no less
renowned than war.
The friends of republican government
In all parts of the world will rejoice to
learn that the great and growing republic
of Brazil. the strongest of all the South
American nations, is now on what gives
promise to be permanent peace basis
and with people united, and differences
compromised, is entering upon what
promises to be one of the most progressive
and prosperous eras in its history.

The Men Who Robbed a Store i'm Day
light.
A Baltimore police sergeant named Bren-
nan did good work for the local detectives
| in the case of robbery of a tray of gold
watches from the store of Doninick Rick
enbacher, No. 1918 G street, last week,
and now the detectives have the thief in
| custody and have recovered most of the
plurder. When the robbery was committed
Thursday afternoon and 1t was stated
that a young colored man. had been seen
coming from the store about the time the
robbery occurred the police concluded that
a young colored man named William. alias
Blood" Jones had committed the whole
sale theft, and went at work without de-
lay to investigate him. Although Jones is
| Washington boy, as is his friend. Edward
Poindexter, the police knew that they were
also well acquainted in Baltimore, where at
least one of them had a female friend
whom he visited and with whom he spent
considerable time. This was also known to
force, and when the police here communi-
Gated with the Baltimore authorities the
sergeant went in search of the females,
feeling satisfied that the men would not
be far away. The men were not there
when he reached the house. but he learned
from the women that Poindexter had ship
ped satchel to New York by express,
and that he had followed the satchel on
the train.
Inspector Hollinberger was Informed of
what had happened, and he sent Detective
Lacey to New York to arrest the parties
and recover the watches IL possible. 1t was
learned that Poindexter and Jones had
started for New York together, but had
become separated in Jersey City. Poin-
dexter crossed the river to New York city
and Jones purchased a return ticket with
money he obtained by pawning some of
his clothes.
Detective Lacy reached the express office
in time to meet Poindexter when he called
for the satchel containing the fourteen
watches, and both Poindexter and the
satchel were taken to Chief Conlin's office
| to await the arrival of requisition from
here.
Jones returned home and surrendered to
Sergt. Smith In South Washington yester-
day. He then denied the charge but ad-
naitted that he had gone over to Jersey
City with Poindexter at the latter's re-
quest AS the robbery was committed In
the first precinct the prisoner was taken
| there to be held to await developments.
There he talked to Precinct Detective He
Ian and Policeman Father and to them he
told the story of the robbery, making a
full confession and telling where he had
disposed of the missing watches
Today the witnesses were taken before
the grand jury, and, soon as an indict-
ment is returned, a -requisitiQn will be sent
to New York for Poindexter.
