MAIL ROBBER NABBED.
Stole Valuable Packages While Employed
rs a PostofIloe Clerk.


rs Postofloe Clerk.
NEW YORK, April S.-Becoming en-.
boldened by the successful theft of bushel
of foreign stamps from the packages
which in the course of his duties he han
died as clerk in the second division of
the foreign mail department. in the gen
eral postoff1ce of this city Timothy G.
Mahoney developed into a crafty rogue Of
more valuable things. The otsstents of
the packages which came into his hands
he soon discovered paid him better, and
could be appropriated with as much ease
as the stamps on the outside which had
carried them from all parts of the world
BY his method Mahoney plundered thou
sand or more incoming and outgoing
packages before Chief Postof1ice Inspector
John e, Ashe and his assistants sue
ceeded in discovering his modus operandi.
Yesterday the dishonest postal employe
was practically detected in the act of rob
bing the mails and when confronted with
the damaging evidence found in his pos
session admitted the wrongdoing which
he said had been going on since last fall.
In the furnished room which Mahoney
rented on Henry street was found an as
sortment of silk handkerchiefs, small
articles of jewelry and a miscellaneous
collection, including prayer books, rosary
beads and scapulars, which represented
hundred or more robberies. Eleven pawn
tickets for gold and silver watches ear
rings, chains and pins explained the man
ner in which the robber disposed of the
proceeds of his crimes. His only excuse for
stealing the presents which had been sent
from distant friends both here and abroad
was that he was only getting $500 year
salary, and had to do something to live.
The prisoner, when arraigned before
United States Commissioner Shields,
waived examination and was committed
to Ludlow street jail in default of So, 900
bail

WRITING letters will sometimes get people
into serious trouble. Attorney Wilhelm, of
Pottsville, in his zeal for his clients has
rufied the dignity of Judge Craig, of Carbon
county, TO a great degree by a letter to the
Judge suggesting that some other Justice
should preside in the Lehigh Navigation
Companys appeal from the Commissioners
valuation Of their lands, because the Judge
was the company's attorney for many years
prior to his elevation to the bench and his
wife is now stakeholder in the company.
While Mr.. Wilhelm distinctly disclaimed
any intention to reflect upon Judge Craig S
integrity, and the letter was private one to
the Judge himself, the latter chose to read
it IN court and expressed considerable resent
ment to what he considered an unwarnnted
assumption. As a result Mr.. Wilhelm is
dobarred from pncticing at the Carbon
county bar. Toa layman it looks as though
Mr. Wnhehns suggestion was not an un'
reasonable one and the fact that the learned
Jusice expfcoael himself as having some

CLEVELAND, April SIT is estimated
that at least 5000 men belonging to the
building trades unions in this city win
demand an eight hour day from their en-
ployers on May l. The carpenters union
has already sent out letters to all con-
tractors, stating that the time has come
for shortening the hours of labor and ask
ing their cooperation. Several contractors
have signified their willingness to gram
the eight hour day. The men will not de-
mand any increase of wages, believing
that better pay will naturally follow later.

GOVERNOR HASTINGS has set apart April
10th and 21th as Arbor Days and the subject
of tree planting is one Of much importance.
There is scarcely any work from which such
enormous benefits would eventually accrue
to the country, that could be achieved with
so tritling an outlay of time and money. A
single hour devoted to the planting of tree
or trees would, if devoted to such purpose
by every farmer of the land, in the course Of
forty or fifty years result in the addition Of
millions of dollars of va lue in the timber
alone, not to speak of the Increased value Of
the property on which the planting is done,
the comfort its owner would derive from the
shade or the fruit, and the beneficial effects
upon the climate. jArbor days will be
observed by the children Of the public
schools. If the young are taught the value
of tree planting only benefcent results can
follow. No one has ever planted tree who
has not felt an interest in its growth and
development, and there is not boy or girl
in the schools of Shenandoah who assists in
planting tree on the 10th or the oath of
April who will not in after yeals recur to the
fact gnd watch its growth with feeling OF
int rest.

the Nicaraguan rebels under General Or
