Does ugliness as an attribute exist IN
nature? Can the ardent, sympathetic
lover of nature ever find her unlovely?
If nature is not utilitarian, she is moth

for her prodigal and perfect economy,
but does she always couple beauty with
utility?
To one who loves her nature is never
tiresome nor uninteresting, but she is
often most fascinating when veiled.
She has moods and tempers and habits

GANG OF ROBBERS.
Seven Armed Policemen Capture

Held Up Number Of People Just Before
Their Capture-WhO the Rob

Savannah, June 2.-Seven police
men, armed with WInchesters, made,
at daybreak this morning, one of the
most daring captures of desperate
criminals on record in this state.
For some time past, gang of high
way robbers has been making re-
peated depredations on the suburban

very bold in their outbreaks.
Last night five men were held up by
the gang, and relieved of all their
possessions. The men reported to the
police as soon as they could reach
headquarters. Seven officers, fully
armed, were at once dispatched in a
patrol wagon. The robbers were found

They are John Bennett, alias Tap, the
leader, who has served five years in
the penitentiary; Joe Green, who is a
young but powerfully built negro;
Henry Edwards, who is the one God
bold wounded in the arm, and Elmer
Stevens, who Is the most fearless and
dangerous of the crowd.

LESSON IN AMERICAN POLITICS
The Duke Of Manchester Presides Over the
SessiOn-Allusion TO WOlcott
and His Missionaries,

Manchester, Eng, June 2.-The an
nual meeting of the bimetalic league
opened here this morning. There was
a large attendance, including over 80
delegates from labor associations. The
lord mayor of Manchester presided
and welcomed the delegates. The an
nual report of the league expressed
the deepest regret at the death of
Gen Francis A. Walker, of Boston,
classed as zone of the greatest econom-
ic authorities of the century," Con-
tinuing the report says: "The most
important event of the year was the
election for president of the United
States, when Bryan polled 6,5O0,000
votes on the platform of national bl-
metalism and Mckinley polled 7,000,-
600 votes on platform pledglng him
self to promote international bimetal-
ISM"
The report referred to the support
alleged to have been given to interna-
tiOnal bimetalism by Meline, French
premier IN the chamber OF deputies,
and touched upon the mission to Eu-
rope of Senator Wolcott, (which was
so successful that it led to the appoint
ment of special commission, now IN
France, where it is hoped cordial re-
ceptiOn Will be accorded by the lead
ing nations and an agreement con-
cluded at an early date"
The report concludes as follows ::
"The necessity for international BIZ
metalism was never greater than at
present. The council can, with con-
fidence, affirm that never since 1873
have prospects been so hopeful. In
view of the serious attempt now max
ing for a settlement on an interna-
tional basis it calls on all the friends
of monetary reform to redouble their
efforts during the coming year.

An Insane Baltimore Father Tries to Ex-

Baltimore, June Edgar Harris, a
letter-carrier, 80 years of age, living at
1924 Ashland avenue, today shot and
killed his 12-year-Old son George and
his 6-year-old daughter Ada, wounded

turned the pistol on himself. He is
now lying at the point of death in
Johns Hopkins hospital.
Edgar Harris, jr., aged years, was
the only member of the family who
escaped. He was lying in bed beside
his brother George in the front Sec
ond story room. His father fired at
him, but the bullet missed his head
half an inch.
The insane father then rushed into
the back room to kill the girls and the
little fellow ran downstairs and es-
caped. Harris is thought to have been
mentally unbalanced by the recent
death OF his wife. He had always
been a devoted husband and father.
