A LAUNDRY HOLD UP.
Masked Robbers Operated on Chest
nut Street.
Knocked One Chinaman Down, Tn n Be-
came Frightened and Fled.

The probabili are that the police will
come as near knowing who the despera-
does are who held up the Chinese laun-
dry on Chestnut street, Saturday night
as they are familiar with the knights OF
tho road who held up the Waldorf and the
two grocery stores It will be recorded In
the annals of the police and pass into
history with the other undetected crimes
The robbers entered Moy Sings and
Nov Suns laundry Just before midnight
with masks on their faces and revolyers in
their hands. The Cinnamon thought it
was Joke but when one OF theEceiestials
was knocked down with an axe handle, the
humor of the situation was dispelled.
One of the Cinnamon who had been
knocked down scrambled TO mis- feet ana
ran shriek.ng out Of the laundry. This
alarmed the robbers and they left the
premises without further attempt TO
molest the other Chinaman or relieve him
of his money. The police were notified OF
the assault ct once and there was search
for the men who had been frightened out
of their masks and who had the good sense
not TO try the effect of revolyers upon
Cinnamon. The police found the masks
and onelof the clubs and that was ABOUT
all that rewarded their search.
DIR. Carey sewed up the wound on tne
head of the Chinaman who stopped the
force OF the blow from the axe naDule.
The frightened oelestials told In their
way how the two men came through the
front door with the reyolyers IN their
hands but the details had TO be learned
through an interpreter. In a few moments
nearly all the Cinnamon I'm the city were
at rho scene of tho difficulty ana had ~
not boon for the seriousness of the oiiense
the situation woulG have been funny.
one ufthe Cinnamon saw the two revol-
yer carriers run up Chestnut street ard
turn into Bassett street The police fol-
lowed the trail and are Of the opinion
thnt the assaulters got rs FAR Gs ship
street at least. AT this point oil truce OF
the two mon was lost. The investigation
has been continued today, but tho police
are no nearer the truth than they were
at tho beginning.
According 60 the description, tic two
men were about feet D or . inches In
height, and dressed In dark clothes and
Dcrbv hats The police are of tho opinion
that tho two mon are corner lonicrs who
took this means OF getting ready sash.

A POLICE SHAKE UP.
SergeantS Transferred From One
District 10 Another.
Change Sail 10 Be Made 10 Give Them a
Petter Idea OF the City.

There was surprise in police circles at
roll call last evening and officers and
patrolmen were alike unprepared for the
radical change that went into effect at
that time. Some of the men that were
shifted have been travelling their beats so
long that they seemed part OF thom-
selves and the change Is not altogether
welcome The captains explain that the
change Is made so that the men may have
a better general knowledge of the city,
something they could not attain by re-
nhining onrone beat or at certain station
for a long time In this case. however,
many Of the men go To beats they have
travelled before and are thoroughly
familiar with. The opinion prevails that
the general acquaintance idea was OF little
consequence IN tho shift. some OF tho
changes made last evening were as fol-
lows: Sergeant Willet II. Potter OF the lth
station has been transferred ~ the 3d.
Sergeant Samuel W. Thomas of the I'd
station has taken Sergeant Potter's
place. Sergeant William i. Whipple has
been detailed from the LIST TO the 9th, and
Sergeant William II. Rowe of tho 9th,
who was for many years ~ the Central
station, goes back to his old position.
Sergeant Hugh ID. Robbloe Of Station 3
will take up his labors at Station e

The Supreme Court OF Wisconsin has
affirmed the decision of the Rock County
Circuit Court, holding that the rule of the
State Board of Health promulgated in
1894 requiring all children attending
school TO be vaccinated is invalid. The
case was that of II. V. Adams of Beloit
who brought a writ OF mandamGs 60 com.
pol the school board TO allow his children
10 attend school without being vaocinated.
The Circuit Court granted the writ and,
ms stated the Supreme Court affirmed the
decision. We believe there have been de-
cisions pro and con on such test cases
according To- the judgment of different
courts and probably based on differently
framed laws

rrue Stories Of Little Princess-A Fo,,.
OF Summer Time = When and
Why Thirteen Is Twelve.

The celebration of Queen Victoria
jubilee has brought out many interest.
ing items about her life as Child. md
it seems rather surprising to hear that
among the duties most carefully i'm.
pressed upon the future queen of Eng.
land and empress of India were regular
and punctual habits, unfailing courtesy
to those Of lower station, the necessity
of always finishing one thing before she
commenced another, and the observance
of u strict rule that she must never over
run her allowance.
Perhaps you may not have heard the
story that once when she was making
purchases at seaside shop she saw
something that she very much wanted
as present for one of her cousins. Her
money had all been spent. and SO she
asked tho shopkoeper to put it by for her
until quarter day. He, of course, would
have sent 1t homo at once, but this
would have been breaking rules, so it
was duly put by. But the first morning
after receiving her allowance the prin-
cess and her donkey were round at that
shop door soon after O'Clock.
Another thing she was taught was to
be generous and charitable, but only in
so far rs this was just. And on one &C.
oaslon, when she had just purchased
something which she wanted very much.
on coming out of tho shop she saw IN
old soldier evidently deserving of char
ity. She had spent all her money and
had nothing to give him, but in the
emergency ran back to tho shopkeeper
and asked him if he would kindly take
back the article and return the money.
This he did, and the whole amount was
bestowed OH the wornout soldier, much
to his joy. Many anecdotes could be
given showing the kind heart of the
child who was destined one day to &C.
cupy so great q position.
Of course, visits were occasionally
paid to the houses of some of the Eng
lish noblemen, and here the princess
seems to have had merry time with
the youthful members of these houses.
Once she was ON visit to Wentworth.
and running out in tho garden one
morning soon after Z she was admiring
the flowers and making friends with
the gardeners.
Starting TO run down grassy slope,
wet with the morning dew, an old
gardener called out to her, "Take care,
missy-it's Shape" (slippery).
whats slape?" said tho princess
Before the words were out Of her mouth
she measured her length OH the grass.
That's slape," dryly said the gar
dener. you'll know another time,
missy
