UNCLE SANS
Methods of Guarding Vaults OF the
United States Treasury.

Washington Special Chicago Trib-
tine: 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 sill
yer as it is being transferred to or
from the vaults of the treasury on one
of the business thoroughfares of this
city. At any hour of the day curious
crowd can be seen standing about the
heaVy platform al the Fifteenth street
entrance to the treasury, upon which
small iron safes containing money are
being placed in transferring currency
10 and from the treasury. Speculation
Is always INDUCED in and plans formu-
lated for making away with a large
amount of Uncle Sans gold. Those
VINO indulge in this wild speculation
are not aware Of the danger which
would attend such an undertaking. In
me first place, it requires at least three
men &o handle each safe, and it would
pc almost an impossibilfty to wrest
these trea8ure-laden boxes from those
who have charge of them. Even If this
should be done, the robbers would not
De able to get away with the booty, as
within an incredibly short time num-
Der Of government employees armed to
the teeth would be on the spot. It is
not generally known, but inquiry de-
veloped the fact that the seedy 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 whe
should attempt to rob Uncle Sam.
1hey 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
Watchaen. each of whom is provided
Wlth-s s rifle. Secreted in one of the
rooms are two gatlfng 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
" easy matter to steal some of the
governments funds, but it is safe to
say number of lives would be for
feited if such foolhardy attempt
were made.

Psaiteriums Printed In Gutenberg's Shon
Worth Even More.
Fabulous sums are paid for copies OF
the earliest printed Bibles on account
Of their rarity. Yet it is known that
many more were manufactured than
have ever come to light, and every now
and then we hear Of another copy hav-
ing been found in some garnet or eel
lar amid the rubbish The famous
fMazarin Bible" has been sold fer
more than $4,000, and this is called
cheap, as it is one of the finest speci-
mems OF the printers art ever pro-
dueed, and, most interesting Of all,
was set up and published by Gutenberg
in 1455. after three years of continuous
1aborS.He printed only 100 copies, bus
eighty-hve CT these have never been
found. It IS called the Mazarin be-
cause the first copy to be discovered in
modern times was in the library of
Cardinal Mazarin. But there is an
other part of the Bible, called the
tPsalterium, because it contains the
Psalms only, which commands even a
higher price, having been sold for S2o,>
coo, for but six copies are known to be
in existence. II was printed by John
Faust and Peter Schoeffer on parch-
ment in Gutenberg's shop. ana is the
first printed book bearing the year and
day of its publication on the title page.
This inscription reads, @1457, on the
eve of Ascension" OF course, all OF
the earliest Bibles were printed in
Latin. The first complete Latin Bible
With date appeared in 1862, and is
valued at $4,000 After that time many
editions of the Bible appeared N all
1anguages-German, English. French
and Greek-and in 1514-1517 was the
airst polyglot Bible, one in which the
Bible appeared in various languages
side by side. The most valuable Bi,
bles all date from the fifteenth or six,
teenth centuries. After that no spacia,

that his annual dues as a member of

A SCARCITY OF COAL.
Many Vessels Delayed mt baltimore
Awaiting Carracs

BALTIMORE, Jan. 2s.-The scarcity OF
coal at this port, both for shipment and
for bunkers OF foreign steamships ready
TO sail. has caused much delay in all sorts
of craft. Some OF the largest dealers are
completely out of coal of all kinds. The
big Hamburg American Line steamship
Bulgaria, which was to have sailed Friday
for Hamburg with a 12000-ton cargo.
was delayed until yesterday, owing to her
inability to get 200 tons of soft coal needed
to take her across the Atlantic. Her
agents for several days have been trying
to get the coal. but experienced great
difficulty. Several other large steamers in
port, ready for sea, are delayed by reason
OF being unable 10 get coal. and those
steamers which are now being chartered
TO come here in ballast or with part car
goes are being notified to take aboard
enough coal on the other side to last the
round voyage.
The big ship Roanoke is here waiting
for 5000 tons OF coal for San Francisco.
and the ship p. n. Blanchard will also
likely take cargo here for Manila II she
can get 1t within a reasonable time.

FATALLY SHOT AN INFANT.
A Small Boy Plays With His
Fathers Pistol.

YONKERS, ". Y. Jan. 2S.-Msx Stork,
a thirteen year-old messenger boy, was
arrested yesterday on a charge of homi-
eide. On Thursday he shot bullet into
the brain OF his brother Ernest, II months
old, causing the death of the infant.
The shooting was kept from the au
thorities in the hope that the child
might recover from the wound. II was
reported yesterday, several hours az
ter the baby's death. Mrs. Stork sent Max
on Thursday TO the bedroom OF their
apartments to get some buttons from
bureau drawer. The boys attention was
attracted 10 his fathers revolver. which
was lying in the drawer, and, believing
that the weapon was unloaded. he began
10 play with it. He saw reflected in a
mirror his brother lying In crib. He
turned around. playfuIly pointed the pistol
at the head Of the sleeping infant and
pulled the trigger. sharp report, fol-
lowed by scream from the baby and a
cry Of despair from Max, was heard by
Mrs. Stork and her husband There was
hole in the bsby's temple. Max fell in
faint TO the floor. The boy told the eoro-
ner his story in a straightforward manner
and the coroner permitted him TO go home.

RESTAURANT EPISODE.
A sort of straw Veto.

An advertising agent, representing a
prominent New York magazine. while on
a recent Western trip, was dining one even
ing in a Piitsburg restaurant.
While waiting for his order he glanced
over his newspaper and noticed the adver-
tisement OF a well-known dyspepsia prep
aration-Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets; as he
himself was a regular user OF the tablets
he began specializing as TO how many OF
the other travelling men in the dining room
were also friends of the popular remedy
for indigestion
He saws; Il counted twenty three men
at the tables and in the hotel Office / took
the trouble to interview them, and was sur
prised to learn that nine OF the twenty
three made practice OF taking one or two
of Stuar;s Dyspepsia Tablets after each
meal.
g. 'one of them told me he had suffered so
much from stomach trouble that at one
time he had been obliged to quit the road.
but since using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
had been entirely free from Indigestion:
hut he continued their use. especially while
travelling. on account OF irresularity In
meals and because. like all travelling men,
he was often obliged to eat what he could
get and not always what he wanted.
another, vino looked the picture of
health said he never ate a meal without
taking a Stuart Tablet afterward. because
ne could eat what he pleased and when he
pleased without fear OF sleepless night
or any other trouble.
sill another used them because he was
subject TO gas on stomach causing pressure
on heart and lungs. shortness OF breath.
and distress in chest. which he no longer
experienced since using the tablets regu-
larly.
Another claimed that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets was the only safe remedy he had
ever found for sour stomach and acidity
He had formerly used common soda to re-
lieye the trouble but the tablets were much
better and safer TO use"
After smoking, drinking, or other ex-
cesses which weaken the digestive organs,
nothing restores the stomach to healthy,
wholesome condition so efectually as
Stuart's Tablets
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain the
natural dlgestives, pepsin. dlsastase, which
every weak stomach lacks, as well as nux,
bydrsstin. and yellow parilla. and can be
safely relied upon as radical cure for

The New York gas situation has been
cleared in some measure by the resignation
OF Russell Sage from the Presidency of the
Standard Gas Company, which will go into
effect on February !. Mr.. Sage retires
flushed with success. He not only sold his
holdings of Standard Gas stock at a salts
factory price but he demonstrated that
the opposition In the company was power
less to force him out. IL is Inferred that
the same interests which purchased his
large holdings of the stock have also re-
quired and that the directors will now
have to deal with interests more power
full than Russell Sage The latter shrewdly
read the handwriting on the wall, and,
bowling to the inevitable got out at a
profit The other large stockholders will
be wise If they follow his example.
The powerfui interests behind what many
now call the gaslight-power-t traction con-
centration movement will carry their plans
to a successful conclusion, according to all
indica ,ons and opposition in the Standard
and The New Amsterdam will meet with
financial injury. The absorption of the
heat and power company by the Consoli-
dated and cont oil of the Standard will be
followed by control OF the New Amsterdam.
This will be succeeded by financial reor,
eanization OF the constituent companies
The next announcement will be. doubtless,
that control OF the New Amsterdam has
been secured and that the gas war has
been ended.
