BLUE ENVELOPES ON RAILROADS.

New York Times.

New York Times.
When a railroad employee receives a letter
inclosed in a blue envelope he generally
understands ii contains a check for salary Cue
and a note saying his services are no longer
required. So the blue envelope has come
to be dreaded among railroad men. and even
when the Italian section hands see their boss
something is wrong. Regarding the origin of
the blue envelope there are many stories.
Howard j. Ball, of Buffalo, general Western
wanna & Western railroad. in reply to a
question, said:

yond that. The term has been accepted dur
ing all my experience as meaning dismissal"
There are exceptions to the rule. A dis

Some railroad presidents use a blue envel-
ope for all correspondence with the officials
of the road. President Sloan. OF the Della

its origin long before.
The story is current that some forty years
ago a gang of workmen engaged on the
Erie canal, near Schenectady, had for their
foreman an illiterate Irishman. who was
color blind. This foreman one day received
his discharge Enclosed in a blue envelope.
He presented II. TO a fellow-workman 70

and took great pleasure in reading the letter.
The Irlshman quickly remarked:
"Well. be dad. they think less Of yez than
they does of me. They painted me letther

Thus 1t came about that the "blue enveI-

Col. BloOd's Nearly Successful At
tempt at Stealing Them.
Buffalo Courier.

DuliQAQ afHt III H
The cable dispatch about a supposed plot to
steal the crown jewels from the Tower of
London recalls the nearly successful attempt
May 3, 1911. Blood was an all-round scoun-
drel who lost his estate In ireland as a
consequence of his participation on the side
of Parliament in the civil war and engaged
In a number of desperate adventures. One
of these was an attempt in 1863 to seize
Dublin Castle and the Lord Lieutenant. the
Duke Of Ormonde. Blood's associates were
captured and hanged. but he escaped to
Holland, where he was made much OF. He
returned to England and was the leader
in an effort TO capture and hang the Duke
of Ormonde- The Dukes carriage was
stopped one night In 81. James's street, and
OF the gang of conspirators and hurried to-
ward the gallows al Tyburn. He had sue
ceeded in throwing his companion 10 the
ground when some of his attendants rode
up and completed his rescue. The attempt
to steal the crow jewels was undertaken
by Blood and three associates. They got
into the part of the Tower where they were
kept when no one but the aged keeper and
his wife were present. They nearly
killed the old man and had got possession
of the crown, the scepter and the orb when
the keepers son happened TO arrive on a
visit TO his parents. Blood fed with the
captured. He declared that Il was a noble
attempt. since 1t was for a crown. The
Merry Monarch visited Blood In the Tower
and was told by him that the death OF any
Of the gang would be avenged. Either this
threat made a powerful impression on the
King, or he took q liking TO the picturesqde
style Of Blood's vtlainy. Tor he pardoned

DR. PLAYFAIR Is GRIEvED.
He Defends his Course with Logic
That IL Truly Amazing.

w z
DIR. Playfair declined to express any opin-
ion as to the result OF the trial, and COM
planned that his conduct. had been much
misunderstood and seriously misrepre-
scented. In communicating to Sir James
Kitson the opinion he had formed regard
ing Mrs. Kitson. that opinion was based on
nothing she had said to him, but on his
own experience as a physician, and no ques-
ton Of confidence could therefore arise.
Mrs. Kitson. at the time he spoke TO her
brother-in-law, had the entree, not only in
to his family circle, but to that of Sir
James Kitson, to whose daughters his wife
stood in loco PARENTS, and therefore there
attached to him q certain amount or re-
sponsibility with regard TO those young
DIR. Playfafr. said that had he communi-
cated-as had been suggested he should

justly soto the charge of breach of con-
fidence, for he would have been altogether

What he claimed was the right TO protect
his own wife and family. and in this view
he was supported, he believed. by the whole
1t had been said also that the proper
course for him to have pursued under these
circumstances was to have told his wife
and daughters to have nothing further to
say to Mrs. Kitson. without giving them
rhyme or reason for so doing. All he could
say to this was that such a step would

worse than those she complained Of.
With regard to the loss Of Mrs. Kitson's
allowance, DIR. Playfair said he was un-
aware of the fact that she was receiving
money from Sir James at the time he spoke
to him. Asked as to what action he con-
templated, DR.. Playfair explained: az am
in the hands of my legal advisers. / shall,
of course. appeal, but on what grounds /
may not say now" In conclusion, DR.. Play
fair mentioned the fact that he had re-
ceived letters from medical men in every
part OF the country, who were mostly
to him, in which they expressed
approval of his action and regret at the
verdict.

him, restored to him his estate, and made
him an influential person at court. The
tide of good fortune lasted several years,
but finally a quarrel arose between Blood
and the Duke Of Buckingham. who had
originally been accused of instigating the
attack on Ormonde and who had persuaded
King Charles TO visit Blood In the Tower.
Blood was arrested on a charge of SANDER
ing Buckingham, but died before his case
cam to trial.
1t seems impossible that the famous feat
of Colonel Blood could be repeated at this
time. Not only are. visitors 10 the Tower
closely watched-especially has this been
true since the Fenian attempts TO blow IL
up some years ago-but the Tower Is a mill
tary post containing a considerable garrison
and a vast quantity of military equipments.

succeed in an attempt to get possession or
the jewels, protected as they are behind iron
bars and closely guarded. the effort 10
escape with them would be hopeless. They
could not be safer in the Bank of England
