TRAIK-R0BBERS IN LUCK.
ventS Their humiliation by Armed
DeDUfieS

ST. PAUL, MINI, March S-A dis
patch from Chippewa Falls, Wis, says:
A snowstorm and d belated passenger
train were two circumstances that pro.
baby prevented a bloody encounter be-
tween a gang of bandits and hundred or
more armed deputies last night.
A few days ago the Omaha officials re-
ceived Information to the effect that an
attempt would be made to hold up the
Duluth Limited, which leaves Superior
for Eau Claire at $50 in the afternoon.
The place selected is lonely spot in a
forest about three miles north of Haw-
thorne. and if the tram is on time 1t ar
rives there about o'clock in the evening.
Had the Duluth train not been delayed
six hours in a snowdrift the bandits would
have received the warmest reception last
night ever accorded gang of desperadoes
bent on mischief.
The baggage and mail cars were filled
with armed deputies, who were ready TO
open fire at moments notice.
The men were quietly taken aboard at
Superior Junction and were given careful
instruc lions by the officials of the road,
who were notified as to the plans OF the
robbers. 1t was their plan to flag the train,
and just as soon as 1t slowed up sufficiently
two men were to secure control of the
engine, while the rest of the gang rihed
the mail and baggage cars and went
through the passengers in the coaches.
The Omaha officials prepared to allow
the bandits to carry out their programme
as to the tagging of the train, but an en-
tire change of scenery had been arranged
for the second act, in which it was pro-
posed to drop the curtain on the gang of
desperadoes but for the heavy snowstorm
which held the train at Superior Junction
until o'clock this morning.
When it arrived at the scene of the pro-
posed robbery the bandits had taken their
departure, having evidently abandoned
the attempt for the night. The passen-
gers knew nothing of what was in store
for them until the danger point was
passed, when the story leaked out. It is
understood that one of the gang furnished
the officials with the entire plan which
the obbers had adopted.

NEW YORK, n. Y, March S.-A Sun
Washington special says: There will be
no reduction of the strength Of the North
Atlantic station as long as the Cuban
question remains prominent and every
vessel now attached to Admiral Bunces
squadron viii be retained in service
and others added as fast as ready for sea.
This policy has been determined upon
already by the administration, and is be-
leved to be because of the large number
OF Americans now under arrest in Cuba
and the intention of the administration to
afford them full protection.
If the fate of DR.. Ruiz befalls another
American citizen, 1t is believed that Sec
retary Sherman will cali at once for fleet
of warsh hips for immediate service at Ha-
vana to support whatever claims may be
made by the Consul General.
The presence of q warship there would
be in accordance with the suggestion of
General Lee to Mr.. Oiney last month, and
there are strong indications that Mr.
Sherman, in any event, will ask that at
least one naval vessel be stationed in
Cuban waters. There is no question that
il an 4 merjcan citizen is dealt harshIy
with oy tkel6paniards war vessel will
soon be on its way to Havana.
To-day Secretary Sherman spent over
an hour with the President in discus
sion of the Cuban question, and particu-
larly the cases of two Americans now
under arrest, and one OF whom has sent
an urgent appeal here for aid, represent
ing that he is liable at any time to meet
the fate that befelI Ruiz.
Secretary Sherman, it was stated this
afternoon, will communicate with Gen
eral Lee and urge him to present to the
Spanish officials the firm protest of this
Government against unfair treatments of
Americans on the island, whether their

A Chicago Shirt,

That portion of Chicago's population
which is particular about the way it
dresses-and there is such a portion,
whatever the jealous residents of other
towns may pretend to thinks Just
now in a state of intense but pleasurable
excitement. This emotion results from
the fact that in n of that city's most
fashionable stores there has been placed
on sale a full line of shirts SO construct
ed as to be exactly what the elegant
youth of Chicago have long demanded
in vain. 1t is a shirt planned on wholly
new principles, and the inventor claims
for it the merit Of preserving an appear
ance of immaculateness for an almost
indefinite period. Other shirts must be
sent to the laundry every few months,
but this one is subject to no such neces-
sity, and the consequent economy in
money and trouble will be almost be-
yond the power of figures to express.
The greater part of the new garment
is much like similar sections of it's pred
ecessors. 1t is upon the exposed front
that Chicago's benefactor has expended
all the power of his genius. Indeed, it
is simply a front that he has produced,
and yet 1t is by no means a "dicky'' for
which he demands admiration and pat
ronage. The ''dicky'' has been tried in
Chicago and found wanting. The new
device is a disk of stiff linen, revolving
on a gold stud and divided into four V
shaped segments of equal size and diff
ferent colors. Each segment is large
enough to more than fill the space left
open by a reasonably high waistcoat,
and is therefore q shirt for all practical
pulposes-as practical purposes in the
shirt line are understood in Chicago.
When one quarter of the disk has served
the purpose of beauty and protection to
tie Wearer's satisfaction, all he has to
do is to turn the next quarter into view,
and, behold, he is started anew on So
cial rounds and can face the world with
confidence of his power to undergo Sc
verest scrutiny. Again and once again
may lie repeat this operation, and after
that-well, after that he will be an old
man with little regard for appearances
and none for criticism. New York

A TAME LEOPARD.
Which Walked With Its Master About the
Streets of Berlin.

Which Walked With Its Master About the
Streets of Berlin.
OF all the cat tribe, leopards are the
easiest to tame and teach, if they are
captured while young. When they are
old, their savage habits have become
fixed, and it is almost impossible then
to tame them.
Thirty years ago a curious and we'll
known sight ON the streets of Berlin
was Won der Madliern with his tame
leopard. Baron o der Madliern, when
a young man, was for several years
German consul in Egypt. While there
an Arab friend presented him with a
young leopard. 1t was only a few days
old, its eyes not open yet. The young
baron determined to make a pet of the
leopard and train and treat it like a dog.
The leopard was never confined in a
cage, but was always allowed full lib
erty and was well fed and petted. He
slept on a comfortable rug in his mas
ter's room, and if the night was cold
crept upon his masters bed and shared
it with him. Through the day, indoors
and out, he followed Won der Madliern
about like a faithful dog and displayed
a dogs affection for his master.
He grew by and by into a handsome
creature, one of the largest of his spe.
cies and finely marked. When he had
been in Won der Madliern's possession
about two years, the baron was recall
ed to Berlin and took the animal back
with him. In Berlin the leopard occu-
pied the same place in his masters
house that he had done before and fol
lowed the baron about the streets in the
same way.
At first the sight of the creature
stalking solemnly along beside the man
created quite a sensation in the city,
and people crowded to see them pass.
But it grew to be an everyday matter,
which only attracted occasional notice
from strangers or children.
The animal lived to be about Is years
old and died much lamented by all who
knew it. His story seems to prove
that the wildness of such animals is on
ly slightly inherited, and that their bet,
ter nature may usually be brought out
by proper treatment. - Our Anima.
