UNCLE SAM's
Methods of Guarding Vaults of the
 United States Treasury.

Washington Special Chicago Trib- Gne: Frequently remarks are heard as to how easy it would be for a handful of determined desperadoes to make away with rich haul of gold and sil- yer as it is being transferred to or from tlo vaults of the treasury on one of the business thoroughfares of this city. At any hour of the day a curious crowd can be seen standing about the heavy platform at the Fifteenth street entrance to the treasury, upon which small iron safes containing money are being placed in transferring currency to and from the treasury. Speculation Is always indulged in and plans formu- lated for making away with large amount of Uncle Sam's gold. Those who indulge in this wild speculation are not aware of the danger whics would attend such an undertaking. In the first place, 1t requires at least three .nen to handle each safe, and it would be almost an impossibility to wrest these treasure-laden boxes from those who have charge of them. Even if this should be done, the robbers would not be able to get away with the booty, as within an incredibly short time a num- Der of government employees armed to the teeth would be on the spot. It is not generally known, but inquiry de- Feloped the fact that the aeedy men who loiter around with no apparent aim in life are expert marksmen. These men can shoot equally well with either hand and would furnish highly entertaining sport for any one whc should attempt to rob Uncle Sam. They are employed by the government at good salary. Aside from these ex- pert marksmen at the man entrance of the building will be found a number of Watchmen, each of whom is provided with rife. Seereted in one of the rooms are two gatling guns, and it would require but short time to bring all these arms into play. To the lay man it would seem to be an apparent iy easy matter to steal some of the governments funds, but it is safe to say a number of lives would be for feited if such foolhardy attempt were made.

erly olsrruu-v-:. Tie seven largest
churches in the place were all Oh one
street, we'll up in the wealthy resi-
dence portion and not more than two
or three blocks apart. Down In the
tenement district there was not a sim
gle church building and only one or
two weak mission schools which did
not touch the problem Of the district at
all. The distance from this poor part
of the town to the churches was fully
q mile, a distance that certainly stood
as q geographical obstacle to the
church attendance Of the neighbor-
hood, even supposing the people were
eager to 60 to the large churches,
which was not at all the fact. Indeed.
Philip soon discovered that the people
were Indifferent In the matter. The
churches ON the fashionable street In
town meant less than nothing to them.
They never would go to them, and
there was little hope that anything the
pastor or members could do would
draw the people that distance to come
within church influence. The fact OF
the matter was the seven churches OF
different denominations in Milton had
no living connection whatever with
nearly one-half the population, and
that the most needy half, of the place.
The longer Philip studied the situa-
ton the more un-Christian 1t looked to
him and the more he longed to change
it. He went over the ground again
and again very carefully. He talked
with the different ministers and the
most advanced Christians in his own
church. There was variety of opin.
ion as to what might be done. but no
one was ready for the radical move
which .iiilip advocated when he came
to speak on the subject the first sun
lay of the month.

more or less fog.
VIM. Munbauer, the engineer in

stated that he had orders that the
excursion rain was to pass him at
Lansdale. where his train would have
been sidetracked He was certain that

at Souderton, was the most important
Bennef said the milk train passed az

red flag in the center of the track
This meant danger ahead" Not two
minutes after the special came along

Davis wave his arm rs signal to
take the flag away. This Benner did,
thinking that the train would immedia-
ately slow down. The train was then

There was some fog but he saw the
