Saturday, and locking Treasurer Stofer
in the vault, escaped. But for the
timely arrival of his wife. the only per.

with money from the vault tall man
in stocking feet stepped up and with
dagger in hand, told him to drop the
tray. As he stopped to lay the tray

The President..wes at home to all the
world, who choose to visit the White

bers of Congress to their executive, the
federal officials to the head of the gov

DR.. Parkhurst says Mr.. Lexow let SUI

sisted the republicans at the late cleo

the most distinguished man in New
