FROM HIS COTTAGE sTooP.
Major Mckinley Addresses Twelve Car
 loads of Republicans.

loads of Republicans.
 Canton, O., Oct. 14.-Twelve carloads of republicans from Mcdonald, Wash ington county. Pennsylvania, came to Canton on a special train to-day. They marched up to Major McKinleys house and were the first of his callers this week to be received at his residence. When the Pennsylvania people were within three hundred feet of the Me- Kinley residence, the Barnum circus parade swung around the corner and proceeded down Market street, bringing the delegation to a forced halt.
 Major Mckinley, who was on the porch to receive the delegation, saw the parade, and Mrs. Mckinley joined him. Earlier in the day committee, repre- senting the circus attaches, presented Major Mckinley with a handsome silk flag The spokesman for the Pennsyl- vania delegation was c. A. Whyteshot. He assured Major Mckinley that not only were there many oil producers among the visitors, but that the miners, farmers and business men were well represented. Major Mckinley respond ed at some length.
 The weather was fine to-day. The chief interest centered about the call of a delegation of old folks from Cleve- land and other northeastern Ohio cities There was no one under three score and ten in the delegation, and a number of elderly women accompanied it. A score of old men arrived this morning. Many of them wore badges which they were when Henry Clay was candidate.

THE VENEZUELAN BOUNDARY.
No Decision Has Been Reached by tn
 Special Commissioners.


 Washington, Oct. 14.-S. Mallett- Pre- vost, secretary of the Venezuelan boun- dary commission, to-day said:
 ''The statement that the Venezuelan boundary commission has come to a decision sustaining that country and Great Britain is entirely without foun- dation. The commission Is not yet in possession of all the facts necessary to form definite judgment, and will not be until the return of Professor Burr from Europe about the end of this month. He Is to bring with him new and important historical information which must be carefully examined be- fore any decision can be arrived at. Any statements, therefore, to effect that a decision has been reached are entirely premature"
 Nevertheless there is an extremely prevalent opinion that the Venezuelan side of the question has to considera- ble extent been substantiated.

Alderman Chillingworth Wishes This
 Understood,
 The committee on claims, to whom was referred the communication from the board os public works respecting thematterof putting a trap in the house of David Ashmun on George street, last evening recommended that the order passed instructing the board to con- struct such a trap be adhered to and that the time for the completion of the work be December 1, 1896.
 Alderman ChillingWorth was not pre- pared for the absence of the members of the board, and when City Engineer Kelly stepped up to the rail the Tenth ward alderman said: MT. Kelly, do you represent the board of public worl1s?" Mr. Kelly had not been so instructed, but he was employed by the board and was competent to speak for in some instances. The board thought the action of the court of common council was establishing bad prece- dent.
 MT. Chillingworth asked if this was not the way the board of public works had of telling the court of common council that it did not know what it was doing.
 This matter had been ordered once, the board returned it, and again it was ordered, and again returned, and so on until it was about time to stop this child's play.
 The committee heard numerous other petitions for sewer abatements

MASKED MEN LOOT 4 TOWN.
Eight of Them Plunder Stores, Set Fires
 and Then Escape

Nashville, Oct. 14.-A gang of masked men footed the little town of Peryear, In Horey county, early this morning The citizens were awakened by the sound of an explosion and the firing of guns and revolvers. Those residents who were daring enough to leave their houses were warned to return on pain of death. There were eight men in the party and all were heavily masked. After robbing a number of stores the gang set fire to several buildings and then fled to the country. After the fires had been subdued a posse was formed and started in pursuit of the marauders. The exact amount of money and valuables secured by the gang is not known, but it is estimat- ed that they got away with at least $3,000 in money.

Aeschylius' plays giving more than fifty per cent. of the lines to the cho- rus. Many were the shifts resorted to in order to bridge over the difficult ty of an actor speaking to and ming ling freely with the chorus bands.
 But 1t. was reserved for scholars of very recent times to solve the riddle. The stage directions in the plays of Greek dramatists seem at first to in- dicate an elevation; for example, the expression anabeino was thought to mean ito go up;" but meant much as our terms, "up town" up street." etc, with no real significance of ascent; and "epi scenes" literally ''on the scene" was like the more common ex- presson, ''epi thuras,' near the door. !"
 Furthermore, Dr. Doerffeld showed by mathematical diagrams, that only from a central plat, with no stage, could the best view be had by all spec tators, who sat on successive tiers of seats.
 Finally, the monuments and vases show figures of actors on the roof of the prosceniun; but, by a striking coinci- dence all such vases are found only in lower Italy, and none in Greece, and belong to a late period of Greek art. The earliest vases of Greece show no stage, which would certainly have been represented had there existed such g. structure.
 Such are the reasons for concluding that the Greek theater had no elevated stage, but that the space between the central point of the orchestra and the two front lateral entrances, was allotted to the actors the whole orchestra and the chorus, while the roof of the pros- ceniun was the place where the deus ex machina and the deities appeared, in case their services were needed to cut the knot. Among the men who have investigated this puzzling question in this country, Dr. Capps, formerly of Yale, now of the Chicago university, has made 8 careful study of all extant Greek plays, and his results are in striking conformity with the deductions of Dr. Doerpfeld.
 This lecture marks the close of a se- ries that has proved exceptionally pop ular and of a value beyond words to tell, to all who followed the great schol- ar in his illustrated journeyings from Olympia to Athens, from Tiryns and Mycaene.

 Bodies of the Robbers Now In the M orgue
 Bank Funds Recovered
 Meeker, Col, Oct. 14.-One of the most desperate battles ever fought on the streets of this town took place to-day between three men who robbed bank, and tonight the robbers are in the morgue Three citizens were wounded by the bandits. The dead are: George Harris, Charles Jones and William Smith.
 The robbers entered the town from the north, mounted, and proceeded to the bank without any attempt at con- cealment The bank is located in a general store, one of the largest of the trading houses. They stepped quickly into the room, two remaining in the center, while one of them approached the bank window where the cashier was conversing with a depositor, and, brushing the latter aside, thrust re- volver into his face
 The men lodged and the sound of a plSlul. Sllol Cdu6SNl lllG CctSIilcl pO ldlSC his hands. Then the two men in the center of the store commanded every body to hold up his hands. Cashier Moulton then opened the doors of the safe at the point of the pistol, and the contents of the strong box were re- moved, after which the robbers took all the firearms in the possession of the men in the store and forced them to leave by a rear door, where they had hitched their horses
 But the robbers miscalculated, and as they stepped through the door they found the building surrounded by the towns people, who were aroused by the shots. The robbers raised their revol- vers and commenced to fire immedi- ately. Bullets penetrated the buildings and hailed through the crowd. The citizens returned the fire. About 100 shots in all were fired, and the robbers fell defiant and firing. Two of them died in an instant, their skulls split, their hearts pierced and their bodies penetrated by rife balls.
 One, Harris, lived for an hour and gave the names of his pals. The names are undoubtedly assumed. Jones and Harris were literally riddled with bull lets, and that Harris lived so long is remarkable There were perhaps 100 men in the vicinity of the place at the time. The wounds received by the cit izens were slight.
 1 The money, less than .oo0, was re- covered. The men were never seen in these parts before. Smith was about twenty years old. and the others about I thirty.

Illustrative of the device.
The idea here set forth was first
suggested by Richard Bennett, a
practicing attorney of Neihart, Mon
tana. Cabinet files are too
cumbersome, announcement, and
occupy too much space. Files
which lie upon their sides are
unhandy, because Of their reclining
position. After long and thorough
study, from a practical standpoint,
the inventor ordered one made accor-
ding to the plan here presented, hav-
ing since secured a patent thereon.
1t constitutes the only convenient
and sensible file yet placed before
the public, and is better than any of
the thousand and one other files to
be found in the offices of lawyers,
justices and notaries.
The device consists of a substan-
tial wooden base, serving as a back,
and leaves of strong tag board,
firmly fastened.to the base in a yer
teal position, with intervening
spaces where. the blanks or other
papers are to be filed. In each space.
between the, stationary leaves, is
placed a false leaf, movable from
side to side but suspended with the
true leaves upon an elastic cord pas

Bonding and Selling Mines.


There is great reluctance among

thority on this subject illustrates this
point by referring to a California
mine which was very highly thought
of by experts who had examined it,
but was on the market for two years.
Finally one man was given the ex-
elusive option and the property was
soon sold at a large figure.
Now, why did the sale in this case
hang fire SC long, and why did the
property 60 off so quickly at last?
Simply because there was no bond
