Pail Mall Gazette gives very interesting
summary Of this process.
one OF the largest Of these classes IS
held in basement OF house In Brussels.
One room Is set aside for lectures on by
siene. domestic economy, nursing and care
Of children and invalids. Another room IS
fitted up as the kitchen. In this the cook
ing utensils are exactly the kind TO be
found in any respectable workingman's
cottage. The walls are covered with odd
looking pictures II 1oiats OF beef with the
price attached and notes stating whether
it would be the most economical to roast

THEY o SCARED.
California Robbers Do a Bungling
Job.

Ripon, Gala, Sep. S.-The south
bound express train from San Francisco
to Los Angeles was stopped here Cor
20 minutes this evening by a crude
attempt 10 hold up the train. At an
/ open point on the lire near Mariana,
five miles from he-o, 10 ties had been
piled upon the track and the wood ig-
nited. The train slowed up as 1t ap-
preached the burning pile and two men.
who were lurking behind the fence on
the side OF the track, fired aimlessly to-
ward the train. One Of the charges Of
buckshot entered the hip OF a tramp who
was stealing a ride on the top Of one OF
the cars.
The attempted robbery vas not unex-
pected. the ties having been piled on the
track in a similar manner a few nights
ago. Anticipating a renewal Of the at
temp. Sheriff Cunningham had placed
two deputies on the train. one of whom
was riding in the cab. As soon as the
train stopped the deputies leaped from

or 10 miles distant, without making any
further effort 10 loot tie train.
Deputies Sheriff Black and Wall could
not get near enough to the robbers to
open fire on them. and the track being
uninjured. the train proceeded to this
station, where the deputies took the trail
to try to capture the robbers. 1t is re-
ported here hat late tonight the depu-
ties had arrested a man under suspicion
Of being a member OF the gang and took
him with them to Stockton. The injured
tramp is being treated here and will
probably recover
The passengers on the train knew
nothing OF the trouble until the brief
episode was concluded.
So far as local information goes. no
one IS especially under suspicion. The
attempted robbery was amateurish in
the extreme. The place selected for the
hold-up was the poorest in the country,
from a robbers standpoint. Il was on
an opsn plain. distant from trees and
shelter Of any sort. When the train slow
ed up. the two robbers. who stood like
sentries behind the fence. fired blindly
in the direction OF the train. but ran
away.

DEMAND FOR SMALL COINS.

Washington. Sept. S.-There is just
now A large demand upon the treasury
department for small coins to assist in
the movement of crops.
Director O: the Min Preston says that
The coinage Of subsidiary silver and min
or coins will be continued until a suf-
iclent stock has been accumulated to
meet the current demand.
The available number OF silver dol
lars in the treasury has been reduced
about 5000, 900. and it is probable that
an order will be issued next week for
coming into silver dollars some OF the
bullion purchased under the act Of 1890.
No silver dollars have been coined for
some time. Their coinage will be re-
sumed because they are needed to meet
the demand arising from the revival OF
business. The bullion purchased under
the act Of 1890 cannot be used in the
manufacture OF subsidiary coins. and
must be converted into silver dollars
whenever its coinage becomes necessary.
