Last weeks paper may have suited
you, but there are others that it
didn't suit. This weeks issue may
not please you, but there are Others
whom it may please. Every issue of
a newspapers receives it's share of
praise and censure-generally at
ratio of about 16 ounces of censure to
ounce of praise-but the editor
attends to his business, says nothing
and saws wood.

 One of thd trio climbed into the wagon and the two others went into the store and deliberately footed it of about everything worth carrying away. Bolts of cloth and mG.dc-up garments were carried out and deQos- ited in the wagon. After thsy had se- cured all the goods they could carry, three of the robbers jumped into the wagon and drove around the corner. Two remained in the store until the wagon was out of sight when they bolted the doors. pulled down the shades and attempted to force the safe, which they were unable to do. Then they searched Getz, taking from him q small sum of noney.
 After locking Getz in the store they made their escape. Getz pounded frantically on the wall and attracted his employers attention. Widduck rushed out Of the restaurant and tried to enter his store, but could not, and considerable time was lost. Although the tailor reported the robbery at once at the Warren avenue staLon, two blocks away, all trace of the robbers was lost. WiddUck's loss is between 1900 and $1,500 This is the secor1 time he has besn the victim ug robbers within five months. The scene Of the robbery is less than a block from the dry goods store Of George B. Farm. in which the proprietor was murdered and robbed ten days ago.

PURE INVENTION.
Germany Did Not Ask for Coaling
 Station in the Philippines

Washington, April 2S.-In official German quarters an emphatic denial was given out today to the report pub lished in a London newspaper and ca bled to this country to the effect that during the Spanish-American war Germany requested of the United States coaling station in the Philip pines, the request being refused on the ground that it was premature; also that Germany requested that the United States should not annex the Caroline islands, as Germany had pTior interests in the group.
 Those who would be personally and fully acquainted with such important negotiations by Germany say that the report is pure invention throughout; that Germany at no time made a re- quest for a coaling station in the Philippines, nor was the United States requested to refrain from an nexing the Caro1ines The report is characterized as so absurd that it would not be digniied with an official denial if it were not regarded as aD effort to recreate prejudice against German interests

MANY APPLY IN PERSON.
Few Census Bureau Appointments ID
 Less Thar q Year.

Washington. April 22.-O1e Of
 the greatest difficulties which the
 officials of the census bureau are hay ing is to convince applicants for places that no considerable number Of appointments will be maze for year Five thousand applications are On file in the census office. and every day there is a throng of people wait ing to make inquiry regarding the probability Of receiving appoint ments. Those who call are not only new applicants, but people who have had applications on file for months, who call now and then to see how business is progressing and to ask if anything has been done in their cases.
 While several persons are discussing with the director Of the census the question of providing a building for the bureau, no definite proposition has yet been received, though it is expect ed offers will be made within a week or ten days. The bureau must be Io- catad in permanent quarters by Jan- uary 1, 1900, so that if Q building for it's occupancy is to be specially con- work on it must be begun 1n a very short time.
