the last day of the carnival, and the
theater of Formlipopolis, was packed
with Q crowd Of spectators awaiting
the rise of the curtain. After long

The leader Of the strange cast. II
Passatore, one of the most ruthless rob
bers Of any age, bowed profoundly to
the horror-stricken audience and ex-
planned that the theater was surround

attempted to escape would be shot, and
that he and his merry men would pro-
ceed to collect any money and valusples
they had with them.
The brigand and his men then de-
scended from the stage and stripped
the audience of their possessions to the
value Of 100000. He then thanked
them all In graceful speech and left

that he and 100 of his brigands were

And hide 1t quite from view.
Stay, robin. where last year
You dwelt in happiness;
No prowling monster here

And drive you hence In fright:
Here slept you through the night,
Secure, and here were sung
Your songs, here grew your younG

Like poppies in the wheat
Let this be your retreat
But no, another nest
Is in your busy mind;
Within your little breast
There is the hope to find
A spot more sweet than thtA
A fuller cup Of bliss.
And who can blame you, sprsees
Who say you are not hight
In seeking thus to changer
According to his light
Man far and wide doth range
And doeth things as stransA

Chicago. July 13.-Bars instead Of
billets, and a ratio Of one-seventh in
stead Of one-fifth, was agreed upon last
night at the conference between mem
bers Of the Amalgamated Iron and
Steel association and representatives
Of the American Tin Plate company as
the basis from which the sliding wage
scale Of the tin plate works will be
figured for the coming industriafyear.
The abandonment Of billets as basis
from which to do the figuring and the
substitution of tin plate bars was de-
cided on as the more equitable, from
the fact that the bars do not enter into
30 many items Of finished steel pro-
ducts. All the mills of the American
Tin Plate company will resume opera
tons next Monday. The wage advance
will be about Is per cent.

" HAD TO HAVE HIS LEGS.


ehe Crippled BeEEar and the ImpOr-
tant Engagement He Had.
A queer case of rich beggar came to
the surface few years ago. The beggar
was one whose bodily infrnities appealed
to charitable people. The man had lost
both legs, and, seated in wicker basket,
he pushed himself along where people
would see him. He held out his hands
for the coins which came to him in small
showers. The basket was part Of his
business outfit. When off duty--that Is,
when not soliciting alms-he wore two
well made artificial legs and walked on
crutches One of his most fruitful fields
was Coney Island in the season, and hav-
ing gained the good will Of q resident OF
the place he used to deposit his legs at
the mans house when he went abroad to
touch the hearts and the purse strings Of
the pleasure seekers. One evening when
he returned from work" he found that
the closet in which his legs had been
placed was locked and the custodian Of
the key gone for the night.
"Never mind" said his friend, "stay
here over night, and I'll give you shake
down."
"No; must be in New York tonight"
he said, land I've got to have my legs
too"
"But why not stay here and save car
fare and be on time for work in the morn
ing| he asked.
Neither argument nor persuasion had
any influence on the man, whose nervous
ness increased perceptibly, and as his
friend was making ready to break down
the door behind which the legs were
stored he asked, why must you be In
New York tonight and why do YOU com
pei me to force this closet door?"
"Well, the truth is," said the legless
man, II bought an apartment house last
week and promised to pay $4,000 on the
bargain tonight, and unless I get away
pretty soon I'll get there too late and for.
felt the amount already paid down."
The friend was speechless with amaze.
ment, and his establishment grew when
he heard q few weeks later that the
apartment house which the poor man
spoke to him about was the third which
he had purchased since he went into the

Depew ON the EASTERN QUESTION.

We Should ssnd Men Esoush 70 Drive

New York. July IA dinner was
given last night At the Republican club
In honor Of the return from Europe
Of Senator Chauncey N. Depew. Mr..
Depew was the principal speaker. He
said In part:
"In Europe I found that there was
no sympathy for Spain on account Of
her defeat in the late war. ! found
nothing but curiosity about the United
States. The people Of Europe are won
dering whether we will be equal to the
task we have taken In the east. An
English statesman said to me one day:
Why don't your country square Aguin'
aldo? We have found in our wars with
the natives Of eastern countries that
they cannot be trusted, and % soon
as you make allies of them you will
find that they will stab you In the
back. We found that to bring the ma
tives to the right way Of looking at
matters Of importance was to square
them
Il told that statesman that the peo-
pie of the United States would rather
send 10000, 100000 or even 100000
men to the Philippines than spend $500
in 'squaring' Mr.. Aguinaldo.
"In my judgment we have not ap-
preciated thoroughly the situation In
The east. This has been principally due
TO the bravery Of the men who are
there. They want the honor and the
glory of fighting the contests and win
ming without other aid. think that
Is q mistake. We should bend every
energy and send such force to the
Philippines as would crush out these
rebels In less than six weeks time.
The war should be carried on in such
way as to drive Aguinaldo and his crew
into submission, or into the sea-"
