DRUGGED ROSES HIS WEAPON.
Bold German Robber Works a Clever

(NeM York SUM-

1t may be all right for heroines to
make their adorers TREMENDOUSLY happy
by presenting them with roses. The
novelists and dramatists must not be
robbed of all their stock in trade. But
it behooves the nineteenth century man
to be particular about the roses he ac-
cepts, or, rather, about the girl who
gives them. A short time ago a man
and his two sisters were alone in a
compartment on a German railway At
station an elegantly dressed, thickly-
yelled woman entered the carriage,
carrying a superb bouquet of roses.
When the train started she asked her
fellow travellers if they would object
to her closing the window. The man
fastened to close it for her, and, in
moving to get out of his way, the
stranger dropped her roses. He picked
them up for her and, thanking him
charmingly, she asked him to keep
one. Then, turning to his companion,
she graciously offered each of them
few of the flowers. Naturally the
courtesy was accepted, and the next
thing of which the travellers were con-
scious was that the train had arrived
in Berlin, that their yelled COMPANION
had disappeared, and that all of their
money and valuableS had gone with
her. OF course, the roses had been
drugged. The police have discovered
that the criminal is young man, and
that he has conducted a number of
daring robberies in similar fashion.

NOT A DEBATABLE BILL.

The advisability of an extra session
of congress in the interest of cur
rency reform is still being discussed
by leading Republicans. There is a
complete understanding between Comp
troller Dawes and Secretary Gage, it is
now authoritatively stated.
Since the issuance of their respective
reports these gentlemen have conferred
with the president and Senator Hanna
repeatedly on the matter of promising
the reformers an early compliance with
their requests. AS a result, a leading
goldbug organ of New York announces
that there will hardly be any currency
legislation within a year. Congress-
men say that there is plenty of time
for the consideration of currency re-
form when the reformers themselves
can agree on the questions.
The feeling of many Republican con-
gressmen is expressed by Representa-
tive Hepburn of Iowa, chairman of the
house Judiciary committee and one Of
the members of the committee on rules.
''I am very much in favor of an extra
session. he says in an interview pub
lished in the New York Post, provided
that the sound money men of the coun-
try can during the present winter agree
upon monetary legislation that they
will stand by"
He has conyersed with many Repub-
lican members of congress. and says
that they are not yet agreed as to de-
tails. Il am bitterly opposed to a
meeting of congress for debating school
purposes" he says. when the gold
standard people can agree upon a bill
that will command their support in the
two houses and meet the approval of
the president, then am in favor of an
extra. session, and in such an event I
can see that the president would be
entirely justified in calling an extra
session. which could then be devoted to
financial legislation and such other
pressing matters as the president might
wish to bring to the attention of con-
gress. But unless the men who in SEN
ate and house will have to treat with
the details of financial legislation can
by conference reach some agreement
this winter, then I do not believe that
it would be wise to have an extra ses-
sion.''
None of the Republicans are opposed
to the immediate destruction of green
backs and the taking from silver it's
legal tender function. They all favor
the bank monopoly features of the bills
submitted, but too much discussion of
details is regarded as hazardous under
the circumstances.
A previous agreement and sullen
silence when arraigned by the Demo
Gratis will be the policy pursued by the
Republicans if they use their best judg-
ment under the circumstances.

THE PRESIDENTS SILENCE.

One phase of Philippine government
viii be very annoying to the admins
tration until new conditions are
brought about, a change that cannot
be made in a day.
Those who have noticed the extreme
delicacy, not to say dread, with which
the ordinary politician handles ques-
lions involving the affairs or traditions
Of the Catholic church, viii naturally
wonder how congress will ever muster
up courage enough to undertake a So
luton of certain Philippine problems.
This very suggestion may explain the
remarkable reluctance Of the president
to touch upon Philippine control in his
message.
Wherever the parochial school issue
is raised, the politicians are apt to
make a break for tall timber. The
contract-school question, involving the
right of the government to make APP
preparations in aid of Indian schools
conducted by Catholic orders, used to
worry candidates and congressman in
every campaign.
There are many liberal Catholics in
this country who look upon the con-
tract-school system as an anomaly in
the United States. But this never
robbed the campaign bugaboo Of a
single horror for the politicians.
The system in vogue in the Philip
pines, the requirements Of the people,
the peculiar circumstances under which
they come under the supervision of
this government, may necessitate a
continuance of the church schools for
several years. But this will be bitterly
opposed.
How, then, is congress to deal with
the privileges now extended to and en-
joyed by the various orders of the
Catholic church in the islands? It is
not an easy question to answer.
According to an editorial in the Phila-
delphia Press, Bishop Keane has re-
ceived assurances in Washington that
the United States will not in any way
abridge these privileges, and it is in
timated that this assurance was OBJ
tanned by the influence of Archbishop
Ireland with the president.
Room exists for serious doubt as to
whether congress will agree with him.
The functions of civil authorities
have been exercised by the archbishop
of Manila and the religious orders
there but continuance of their adj
ministration would be incompatible
with the practices of this government.
No wonder the president prefers to
let congress wrestle with this condi-
tisn OF affairs.

Extended Family worship,

A story told by Carlyle in an Eng
lish review forcibly recalls the days
when in England religious services were
long enough to test the zeal of the
worshipers. According to the story.
Carlyle had been asked to take the
reading at family prayers during a
short visit paid to his friend, the pro-
vost of Kirkaldy. The Bible CHANGED
to open at the first chapter of the book
of Job, and Carlyle Immediately he
came absorbed in his subject, and read
on and on to the end of the last chap
ter, when, closing the volume. he re-
marked:
THAT is a marvellous, life-like drama,
only to be appreciated when read right
through"
1t is fair to infer that it was appre-
ciated for once. Any one who has
taken long, solitary afternoon and at
tempted to give the book of Job an OPP
portunity to be appreciated by reading
it honestly through at one sitting, can
realize the CONSERVATION of the pro-
vost. Such a one will not be likely to
wonder, with Carlyle, why he was not
asked again to assist at family prayers
in that household.

OF INTEREST TO UTAH.

The Herald has received copies Of
several bills introduced by Senator
Rawlins since congress convened.
The first is bill authorizing the Sc
lection of lands within abandoned mill
tary or other reservations to satisfy
grants of lands to the states. This
measure, if it should become a law,
will enable Utah to locate ard make
selection of some valuable lands in the
eastern part Of the state, formerly oc-
cupied by the government as Indian
reservations. Senator Rawlins was
over portion of this country last sum-
mer, and he pronounces it some of the
richest soil in the state There are
other tracts that will add to the ma
terial wealth of the state, if included
in the grants of land made by the gov
eminent to the state
The bill to establish an assay office
in Salt Lake City has already been re-
viewed in these columns. 1t is a very
important measure, being the first step
toward securing the establishment of
a government mint. The passage of
the bill should be urged in every pos
sible way by the citizens of the state,
and of the city of Salt Lake in partic-
ular
1t provides that ten thousand dol
lars, or so much thereof as may be
needed, is hereby appropriated for
that purpose, out of any money in the
treasury not otherwise appropriated
Another bill, in the enactment of
which the settlers of the eastern por-
ton of the state are greatly interested,
provides that the waters of the streams
in the Uintah Indian reservation in
Utah, are to be declared open to appro-
priation for useful purposes according
to the laws of the United States and
the local laws and customs of the state
Of Utah, either on or off said reserva-
ton, subject at all times to the para
mount right of the Indians.
1t contains a provision also for the
construction and maintenance of all
necessary dams, bitches and canals on
or through the reservation for the pur-
pose Of diverting and appropriating
the waters for the purposes mentioned.
The Indian question was covered still
more fully in the bill introduced by the
senator setting aside certain lands
within the Uintah reservation for the
use Of the Indians thereon, to be Sc
lected by them, and providing for the
disposition of the residue of the reser-
walton for the benefit of the Indians.
There is a special provision limiting
the amount Of such lands entered I'M
der the homestead laws to eighty acres.
The whole proposition is made subject,
however, to the measure allowing the
state to select from these reservations
sufficient lands to fill out the grants by
the government to the state
Every one of these bills is of import
ance to the state and to the people of
Utah.

THE FLOUR TRADE.

One Of the latest trusts to be formed
is a gigantic flour trust. The principal
mills of a number of the largest east
ern cities have entered the combine.
But the increased production of -four
IN many of the states this year may
prevent the trust from monopolizing
the trade, as is usually the case.
In the northwest the output of the
flour mills has been larger during the
past month than ever before. The Min
neapolis Market Record reports in one
week some ST., 900 barrels production,
while the previous one was SS6OO bar
rels.
1t says that. until the last two
months, the production in Minneapolis
was running somewhat behind the pro-
duction for the same time in 1897 That
was due to scarcity of wheat and con-
sequent high prices. as the local sup
ply was inadequate to meet current
demands, forcing the prices up by COM
petition until there was no profit left in
milling, thereby curtailing TO some ex-
tent the output, spite of the active in
curry for -four. Since the larger supply
of wheat, induced by free arrivals from
the northwest, the premium on cash
wheat has been less, with the result
that some profts have accrued in the
manufacture of -four, and an increased
production has resulted.
In that city alone the local manufac-
ture of flour is. now between II, 00O, 900
and 100000 barrels since Jan. l,
against less than 100000 barrels one
year ago, which was the highest pro-
duction then of any year in this city
Nashville, Tenn, reports an excellent
-four market for the year The Ameri-
can, published in that city, says that
Nashville is 'the second largest winter
wheat -four market in the United
States, St. Louis standing first
It gives some figures which go to sub
stantiate the claim. There are three
large mills in the city, the product of
which is increasing every month. The
number of barrels Of -four made in
Nashville from July, 1896, to July, 1897,
was SS2,222. while for the ensuing
twelve months the output was 963,14O
barrels, making an increase of 1215 per
cent. From July l, 1898, to Nov. 1, the
combined output of the three mills has
been 356,03S barrels, and if this rate is
kept UP fer the other eight months Of
This year. the output viii pass the one

figures. 1,06S.114 barrels The sales of

SPANISH MISRULE OF CUBA.

Spanish misrule has impoverished
Cuba. From the statistics it has been
possible to gather since the occupation
of Havana, the people were burdened
for years, until they could no longer
respond to the exactions of the officials
sent to rule over them.
AS long as they were permitted to
retain enough for sustenance, the plan
tations were worked and the Golfers
of the Spaniards were never empty.
But demands were the same in time of
famine or plenty.
In 1884, it appears, the total taxation
revenue was $94,269,4 1O. Of this sum,
S12, 574, 4S5 was appropriated for the pay
ment of old military debts incurred in

In well-to-do East End household
is a colored girl named Fanny. Hav-
ing been with the family since she was
quite young, it's members, especially
the younger ones, have become quite
attached to her, and find much amuse-
ment in her drOll sayings and ways.
In all her sixteen years Fanny had
never ridden in a street car nor been
to a theatre. She often expressed a
desire to go to matinee. And so il
came to pass one day Fanny, accom-
panied by a young miss of the family
boarded q car for down town.
Scarcely had Fanny settled in heI
seat when she caught sight of the fare
register.
Pointing at it with long black
finger she excitedly shouted:
