BOLD ROBBERY IN PHILADELPHIA

Philadelphia, June IA gang of
masked robbers, probably ten in number.
early this morning raided the receiving
office of the Faifmount Park Transporta-
tion company at Belmont mansion, FAIR
mount Park, and after holding up the
receiver and five other employees OF the
railway, blew open the safe. securing
$4,000. the company's recepitss for two
days The men were bound hand and
foot with wire.
Charles A. Porter, president of the
Fairmount Park Transportation COM
pany, said this afternoon chat the clerks
had made an examipation of the books
and found that the exact amount OF
money stolen was $500. 55. This was
the cash in the conductors canvas bags
which had been handed in as each car
came into the barn.
'There Is every reason to believe that
some former employees of the Transporta-
tion company wers implicated in the rob-
berry," said Mr.. Porter. HThe familiarity
of the robbers with the methods pursued
by the company shows that thsy were
not ignorant outsiders. Il is my opinion
that expert crscksmen have gained the
ear of some Of our discharged employees
and In that way the conspiracy was oar
FTied to a successful outcome

'sI have no objection TO again define
our attitude ON the Samoa question.
We shall not depart from the stipulations
Of the Samoa treaty nor allow others TO
turn us from our course. We recognize
che rights Of others while maintaining
our own.n ~

the principle Of unanimity In its decis-
IONS and the provisional assumption of
the government Of Samoa by the COM
mission. 'sUnder whose direction the
maritime and consular representatives
were'instructed to place them selves" the
minister read dispatches, outlining the
situation as already fully known, the
only new point being the German CON-
4missioners' statement that the commits
sion received both Malietoa and Mataafa
as having equal rights as party leaders,
and the announcement that the pcssihili-
ty of strife may be ended by the abolition
of the kingship. Baron Won. Buelow

but, repeat emphatieally, we will take
no side In the local disputes or in regard

not approve Of the partisanship of the
agents of other powers in behalf OF

is to see our subjects in Samoa indsmnI-
fed, in accordance with the principles OF
the laws of nations for losses through

"This question, however, will only be
ripe for diplomatic actaon after the restor-

any OF our rights, but at the same tine,
we do not forget that complicated inter.

THE BLIND GODDESS" BY Randa

THE BLIND GODDESS" By Randall
Irving Tyler. New York The Stuyvesant
Publishing Co. Paper, so cents; cloth, 81.
Intensely modern is the new murder
story by Randall Irving Tyler, entitled
THE Blind Goddess. Z" There is, it
seems, evolution in murder stories as
we'll as in everything else.
Those who read Tyler's -Four Months
After Date" and said the book was
clever though perhaps weighted down
with business transactions, will find in
1.-The Blind Goddess just issued, a
novel drawn in new vein, but full of
dramatic olimaxes. To bring home the
thoughts it contains to many who never
read murder stories, incidents are used
familiar to oil who have followed the
recent poison cases.
The prosecuting officers theory of the
crime, the appalling accusation of the
innocent daughter of one of the MUIR
dered men, the web of circumstancial
evidence around and against man of
unblemished character, who is also
accused, the defenceess position both
Of these people occupy before the
coroner, the subsequent indictment
without hearing before magistrate
all these things make the reader
think.
The underlying motive for the crime
introduces diversion in the person of
an adventures, for whose presence no
apology is offered, as it turns out that
she is the real oulprit.
The occasional glimpses of an
exclusive social circle, the charming
heroine, Helen Brownell, the strong
willed but intensely human Sanford
Crane, offer opportunities for Mr..
Tyler's ability in character sketching
which he has not neglected; even the
adventures challenges admiration at
times by the boldness and GOODNESS of
her method.
The title, as will be readily under
stood, applies to the more serious side
of the novel, which has to do with
prosecution for capital crime; but the
well-handled romance running through
it all and the satisfactory denouement
make 1.-THE Blind Goddess" mar
velously entertaining book, running
over with surprises in its movement
and its literary style. 1t is more than
absorbing; it is compelling.

Maryland is to hold State election
this year for the election of governor,
Legislature and county officers, and
the Baltimore Sun advances some good
advice to the Democratic party organi-
zatlon as to the course to be pursued.
The Democratic party, it says, must
put its very best men to tho front this
fall if it is to win. 1t is conceded on
all sides that the independent Demo-
carts bore large part in deciding tho
contest in Baltimore on the second of
May. That vote is still independent,
and will be so in November next. If
it is TO be cast at the State election
for the Democratic candidates, those
candidates must be persons of the
highest character and capacity, in
whom the public can place implicit re-
lance, and in whose hands the people
can feel that the dignity of the party,
as we'll as the interests of the State,
would be entirely safe. The Demo-
cratic candidate for governor must
command the confidence, not only of
party men, but OF Independents, II he
is to make winning fight against such
foeman as Governor Lowndes. He
must be man OF the same political
caliber, strength and Independence as
Mr.. Hayes, and he must not be handi-
capped by bad legislative nominees. In
word, the same spirit must be in evil
dence in gubernatorial and legislative
nominations that dominated the
municipal campaign. The Republicans
appear to intend to put their best foot
foremost, as far, at least, as the gov
ernorship is concerned. and the Demo-
Gratis win have to meet them with an
equally good nomination. -
