Train in Montana.

Train in Montana.
HELENA, Mont, June 30.-Passen-
gers arriving here from the East over
the Burlington to-day report one OF
the most daring and successful train
robberies in the history of Montana. In
the role of passenger a lone high
wayman boarded the Pullman sleeper
Of the west-bound train early in the
evening. but at o'clock in the morn
ing, while between York and Bradshaw,
proceeded to hold up the occupants of
the train at the point Of a revolver.
Miss Isabella Henderson of Helena,
who was compelled TO give up about
$50, describes the robbery as follows:
The man was exceedingly polite TO
the ladies'" said Miss Henderson.
"and he passed by the only man in the
ear who had a revolver without wax

front of him and made him hand out
the valuables he took from the passen-
gers. He went through the Pullman
and the tourist, and in the last car he
seemed to be losing his nerve. for he
hurried through and missed several

He was about i've feet six inches
tall and had Mardi Gras false face on.
The conductors thought he was a man
who had been among the passengers

ARM0R PLATE
And n Plant for It's Manufacture
Discussed by the Senate Yester-

day.
WASHINGTON, May Practically
the entire session of the Senate to-day
was devoted to the section OF the naval
appropriation bill relating TO armor
and armament. The debate largely
hinged on the proposition that the
government should erect an armor
plate plant OF its own. Senator Till
man presented an amendment, limit
ing the price to be paid for armor TO
5000 per ton and providing also that
the government should erect a plant
of it's own Senator'S Tillman, Money
and Chandler advocated the erection
Of a plant, while Mr.. Hale supported
the committee amendment providing
for a plant in the contingency that
armor could not be procured for $445
per ton. No action was taken on the
proposition, the bill going over until
tomorrow.
st the conclusion of routine business
Mr.. Hale called up the naval appropri-
alton bill He said that when the bill
was last under consideration yesterday
the Senate was in secret session. In
view of the present conditions trefer-
ing evidently to the publication to-day
of the results OF the secret session., /
leave il to the Senator from South Car
DINA. (Mr. Tillmanl, whether he deems
1t wise or desirable to proceed with
the measure in secret session.
Remembering what occurred in the
Senate during the secret session yes

what appeared in the newspapers this
morning. am persuaded it would be
almost Impossible TO prevent the news

WASHINGTON. May again to-
day the Senate discussed in secret SEES
sion the mysterious projectile with
which the Navy Department has been
experimenting on armor plate.
The publication in this mornings
papers of the details of the secret ses-
sion held yesterday in the course of
which Mr.. Tillman. of South Caro-
lima, laid before the Senate the infor-
nation he had received at the Navy
Department concerning the armor-
piercing projectile that had played
such havoc with the best armor tested
at the government proving grounds at
Indian Head, convinced many Senators
OF the futility of attempting by secret
sessions to keep information from the
public.
However, while Mr.. Tillman was ex-
planning to the Senate to-day what he
desired to accomplish by the secret
session yesterday, another secret"
session was moved. the Senate prefer
ring to hear the South Carolina
Senator's explanation behind closed
doors.
After the galleries had been cleared.
Mr.. Tillman reiterated substantially
the statement concerning the Indian
Head test. of armor plate which he
made yesterday. He pointed out the
effectiveness of the projectile, tipped
with a point of soft steel, against the
armor tested, and used that fact as an
argument against the payment by the
government of what he termed monop-
olistic prices for armor He dwelt upon
the vulnerability of the best known
armor-including the Krupp armor,
against the projectile. He arraigned
the navy department for making pub
lie yesterday the details of the test
of armor with a 6-inch gun, in which
one of the "soft-nosed' projectiles
pierced the plate almost as it would
have pierced oak, declaring his belief
that the test had been made public for
the effect 1t might have upon the SEN
ate debate on the pending bill.
Mr.. Chandler felt that the Navy De-
partment had not dealt frankly with
the Senate in respect to the Informal
ton regarding the tests.
Mr.. Hoar, of Massachusetts. spoke
on the subject briefly, deprecating the
vi l1G CtHdlc u Keep
its secrets and criticising the Navy De-
partment for publishing information
withheld from the Senate.
After some brief discussion II was
decided. inasmuch as the salient facts
had been published, that the armor
plate matter might as well be consid-
cred in open session.
In conclusion II was pointed out that
there was no secret about soft nose
projectile, as the Navy Department has
been experimenting with the projec-
tile for years. Later in the day a COM
munication was submitted to the Sen
ate by Mr.. Hale by the bureau of ord
nance Of the Navy Department in
which he described minutely the effect
Of the projectile in question upon vari-
GUS kinds OF armor. 1t was shown that
that the projectile, which is a solid
steel shot-not a she'll, carrying no ex-
plosive charge would pierce the best
OF armor when the conditions of the
test were perfect in every particular,
but only on such conditions.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, May 9.--The second
day OF the great street railway strike
was as quiet and uneyentful as the first
was turbulent and riotous. The St.
Louis Transit Company made no ef-
fort to run its cars and the St. Louis
& Suburban made none until late In
the afternoon, when, with police mass
ed along the line and detachment on
each car, 1t succeeded in getting
number through. Far from relieving
the situation, however. this demonstra-
ton had no further effect than to show
that by massing their forces on a sim
gle line the police could keep that line
open
At the close OF the day of armed
Inactivity. both sides expressed full

PHILADELPHIA. May 9.-Having
been inflated nearly to bursting with
compressed air from a tube having 80
pounds pressure, 13-year-old Christie
pher Donegan. died at the Episcopal
Hospital this morning.
A fellow-worker at Cramps ship
yards, Joseph Currier, was arrested
late tonight and locked up charged
with causing young Donegan's remark
able death.
Currier stoutly denies the accusation
and tells straight story He says the
Donegan boy was playing with the
high pressure air pipe himself and de-
clares he is ignorant as to how the ter
rible accident happened.
A riyerter In the shipyards, how
ever, says he saw Currier place the
nozzle against Donegan's body, and
that the boy fell over inflated and
unconscious. The young victims ante
mortem statement at the hospital, is
said to have borne out the riveter's
story. Currier. who is an unusually
bright lad of 16 years, will have a
hearing in the morning.
Eye witnesses of the astonishing "a
tally saw Donegan playing with the
pipe and saw him blow on Curriers'
hat with the air. Lieutenant Tuttlc.
OF the Eleventh district, is inclined
to believe Curriers' story, that Done
gan placed the pipe TO his own mouth

LONDON, May although the
British expected considerable opposi-
ton at the drift of the Zand river, the
latest advices from Smaldeel, Orange
Free State, indicate that the Federals
are not yet ready to make determined
attempt to stem Lord Roberts ad-
vance. The latter's front. indeed, is
so wide and overwhelming in numbers
that 1t is difficult to see how the Beers
can help being ousted out of Virginia
Siding as they were OUT of Smaldeel
even if they elected to give battle. The
same considerations would probably
affect the situation at Kroonstad
hence the general belief that little real
opposition will be encountered south
OF the Vaal. The repairs TO the bridges
over the Vet river and the Vaal are
expected to retard the general march
from Smaldeel and Fourteen Streams
for three or four days, when Gen. Bull
Ter will also be ready
The general idea is that Lord Rob-
erts will direct his right on Harrismith
in order to get in touch with the Natal
army coming through Van Reenens
pass.
a dispatch from Maseru, dated May
8, says the Beers have deserted both
Ladybrand and Fieksburg in a panicky
condition, owing to reports that the
British had occupied Senekal, thus
threatening their retreat to the Trans
vaal.
SMALDEEL, May 9.-It is reported
that the Federals are quitting Zand
river, and it is stated that they are
retreating toward the Vaal and are
taking up their position at Boshrand,
south of Kroonstad
Large numbers of burghers have
come in and delivered their Mausers
and horses to the British. They affirm
that there is bitter quarrel between
the Free Skaters and the Transvaalers,
which is likely to end in speedy sur
render of the former.
Gen. French has arrived here.

CHILLICOTHE. O., May Geo.
Wright, believed 70 be one OF the most
desperate criminals in the country, was
put in Jail here tonight and held on
the charge of having committed
triple murder in Provo county. Utah.
over four years ago. His victims were
three children named Elias. 1t is sup
posed that they had witnessed some
crime which he had committed and,
in order to stop all danger OF their
appearing against him, he dragged
them TO pond in January, cut hole
in the ice and thrust them through.
Discovered i'm the Spring.
The crime was not discovered nor
the mysterious disappearance of the
children explained until the Ice thaw-
ed and their bodies were washed
ashore in the spring. The murder
caused the utmost indignation and
big reward was at once offered for
the murderer and skilled detectives
lished that the murder had been COM
mitted by George Wright, alias WILL
lam Stevenson one of the most desper-
ate crooks in the country. He disap-
peared. however, and for four years
the detectives have been trying to To-
cate him.
Appears as "a Revivalist.
About year ago a psuedo-evange-
list named 0'Shea appeared In this
neighborhood and began a series of re-
vival meetings. The meetings were
most successful, and he grew to be a
great power in the church. until one
night a mulatto woman appeared In
the congregation while a meeting was
in progress and stated that O'Shca
was her husband. He went TO other
counties and then started more reviv-
ais. In the meantime the Utah murd-
er had been traced to this part of tho
country, and finally the attention OF
Sheriff Sweptson and other officers
who were working on the case were
attracted to O'Shea. He was placed
under surveillance. and while I'll his ply
stefan persuaded him TO have a phyni-
cal examination, with the result that a
half dozen of the distinguishing marks
of the Utah murderer were found on
him. He suspected something, how
ever, and again suddenly disappear
ed.
Located i'm West Virginia.
Again the detectives were placed on
his track, and he was finally located
at Ashton, w. Va, where he had Sc
cured the pastorate OF a small church
and married Miss Minnie Pollock, tho
daughter of a wealthy farmer. Ie
was moving in the best society Of the
place when the arrest came, the detec-
tives nabbing him before he could
again make his escape. II developed
that he had secured 1900 from his
West Virginia wife. He was compelled
to disgorge this before being brought
back here, where he is held for the
Utah authorities. He Is also wanted
here for forgery. having secured
whisky to the value of SIS on forged
note and consumed 1t himself while
conducting his evangellstie labors. He
Is a college graduate and a polished

The Woman of Thirty,


Give me a woman Of thirty" writes a
member Of the sex who has had much ex-
perience in the world" and 1 will back her
any day against a pretty, inexperienced de-
butante of twenty. 1t is little feminine ways
which appeal SO irresistibly to a mans
heart. These ways are the result of care
full, tactful practice generally speaking, the
result of knowledge of the world that can
only come after one has lived among men
and women, after one has lived and been
loved! La jeune file is to my mind most
irritating and unattractive. She is so help
lessly self-engrossed, so prejudiced; she has
stlll to learn such vast amount, when first
launched into society Uhough, of course a
clever mother can help her simple ingenue
enormously. Girls are, as rule taken
from school much too soon. They should
be allowed to finish their education by
travelling abroad for couple of years be-
fore they mix on equal terms with other
women who have seen much more and
know so much more than any insipid unin-
formed chit of eighteen can possibly do
On, the stupidity of the average chape-
rons! No wonder they sit and watch their
soulless daughters being cast into the shade
by the smart married woman or the finished
and desperately attractive, though still un-
married siren of thirty"
