BOLD ROBBERY IN SPRINGFIELD
Over $500 Taken from PostOffice While
Cashiers Back Was Turned.

A0BnIcT'S BUCK tESS uEbeus
Springfield, Mass, Dec. 20.-A bold
robbery was committed here this after
noon by which the postoffice lost $483
cash and two checks amounting to
s63.62. The cashier had made up the
days receipts and left the bank book
containing the money and checks 1y-
ing on his desk. When he turned to
get it a few minutes later it was gone.
The police were called in Immediately,
but have discovered nothing except
that the money was not taken by any
employe of the office. There is abso-
lutely no clue to the robber and it is
thought that the job was done by a
professional, who utilized his few min
utes start to get to the station and
take a train out of town.

London, Dec, 21.-Nearly all the

action of the United States Senate in
connection with the Hay-Pauncefote

than surprise, at the supercession of
the Clayton Bulwer treaty and unani-
mously declare that it will be impossi-

Ont of Its Dilemma.

| The board of finance last night took
| important action in relation to the es-
J Inmates which members of the court of
common council claim to have changed
by two-thirds vote. The board of
finance questions the legality of the
alleged change and in a resolution
adopted last night raises an interesting
councilmen at their meeting Wednesday
night. The resolution which was in
troduced at the finance board meeting
last night by Mr.. Wright, who moved
its adoption, was as follows:
Whereas, the court of common coun-
Gil in acting upon the estimates and ap-
propriations of the board of finance for
the ensuing year have inserted as es-
timated income items and amounts
which are fictitious and unwarranted
and have thus made appropriations in
excess of the estimated income, and
Whereas, the attempted changes in
tue estimates dIlu dppl OpIlttIiOliS were
not made by two-thirds vote of the
board of councilmen as required by the
city charter, and
Whereas, certain other Irregularities
in the action Of the board of council
men render it doubtful whether any
solidity attaches to the changes at
tempted to be made in the estimates
and appropriations by that body, there
fore be it
Voted, that the city clerk be directed
to notify the several departments of
the city government interested in the
attempted changes that the same are
regarded as imperative by this board
and that no expenditure by said de-
partments in excess of the sums fixed
by this board will be approved.
The adoption of this resolution was
seconded by Mr. Dewell. A long dis
cussion of the matter followed the pre-
sentaton of the resolution and the
members were unanimously in favor of
its adoption. One of the questions dis
cussed in connection with the matter
was the right of the common council to
increase the estimated income to an al
legged fictitious amount. The resolution
was adopted by an unanimous vote.
The point raised by the board of
finance in regard to the vote on the es-
Inmates by the councilmen is this:
There were present at the meeting of
the couneilmen Wednesday night thir-
ty-eight members, including the presi-
dent of the board, Mr.. Stoddard. When
the final vote was taken, the one on
which the required two-thirds vote was
to have been secured Presi- |
dent Stoddard did not vote. The vote |
stood twenty-five in favor of adopting
the amended estimates ANA thirteen 1
a gainst The board of finance holds
that a two-thirds vote would be two |
thirds of all the members present and |
that all members present, including the I
president. must vote unless excused. 1t I
is therefore claimed that the vote of /
twenty-five in favor of the amended |
estimates was not a two-thirds vote of |
all the members present and that the |
required vote to change the finance |

The Fastest Growing Lily on Record.

Captain $. II. Waugh of Philadelphia
has a plant that grows mt the rate of
nine inches every twcntyfour hours.
This remarkable bit of vegetation Is
called the SNAKE lily" and came from
Cochin. China. When 1t arrived In
America 1t was simply an ugly looking
bulb, resembling huge Indian turnip.
1t lay nearly all winter in a dark
closet, hut with the approach of spring
began to manifest signs Of life. 1t was
taken from its resting place and put in
n peach basket. with nothing about IL
but some newspapers. Very soon a
notified green stalk pushed out of the
bulb. and I'm few days had reached
n height of eight feet. or this height
the blossom, which was n beahtifu
dark maroon color, comprised four feet.
After the blossom had withcrcd and
died the bulb was planted, and from II
grew nest of great umbrclla-likc
leaves. which reached their maturity In
July and August. In September the
leaves persisted and left nothing but
n new fat bulb. This was stored away
i'm q dark place. and again next spring
the bulb will he brought TO light and
pass through its time of flower and
growth.

Of black is desirable in such gowns, and
in this case il came in the wide belt and
in roscttcs on the shoulders and along
the edge OF the yoke. This general
scheme is one that permits Of many al
terati0ns. SO IL may be said that the
blouse question Is cared for satisfactorily
in the spring fashions.
Another admirable hod-over is the
yoke that extends over the shoulders. and
the spring gowns yoke may even make
the upper part Of the sleeve. The first
gown described showed one admissible
form of this idea. Another appears at
the left In the next illustration. Other
pleasing features that this picture points
are that the skirt need not have an ex-
aggcrated train, and that its trimming
may be rows OF braid or stitching. III
you lay the upper part Of the skirt in
tucks, either just at the back. Mt the
back and sides, or all the way around,
no one will accuse you of being old-fash-
toned. There are many variations in the
arrangement of such tucks or plcats.
They may be held fat TO the knee, or TO
within half or quarter OF yard OF the
foot. Alternate pleats may spring free
half way down the skirt. and the others
run further. The skirt may be trimmed
with braid or stitching at the foot Of the
Meats. In only there are plcats you are
| all right. The very delicate lightweight
cloth so popular this season Is especially
| adapted 70 such use. This gown was

the palmer pleated skirt. This dress
was white broadcloth of very light
weight 1t had yoke of Persian colored
taffeta and a black velvet belt. The
pleated bodice closed at the side with
little black jet buttons over which loops

the fashion just now, as arc jewelry and
ornaments of the same material.
Waistcoats have been popular goodness
knows how long, and have usually gone
with bodiccs suggesting, at least remote
ly, the mannish type. Now deliberately
tucked and lace-inserted bodices are cut
away in front to show a trig little velvet
waistcoat. 1t may be low or high. IL low
it is topped by a more or less ornate shirt
front effect, and that in turn is finished
off by some elaboration in stock or tie.

The Convenient New Cork Thing.

A product called cork thing has re-
Gently been placed upon the market
which is made of what is known to
the trade as virgin cork" ground COM
pressed, and otherwise treated by a
patented process, and which Is free
from the cement and glue usually en-
ployed to hold the particles together.
We are informed that tiles made Of
this pure. compressed cork form an ad-
mirable flooring, which, besides being
noiseless, water proof, warm and germ
proof, is capable Of withstanding hard
usage. BY varying the degree Of COM
preston and modifying the manufac-
turing process slightly, sheets Of cork
different in color and density are OBJ
tanned, which when sawed and finished
in the form of panels, can be used for
wainscoting alone, or In connection
with cork tile floors. Cork compressed
into sheets and sawed to the size and
thickness desired constitutes very
efficient pulley covering 1t is said
that n pulley covered or Jagged with
compressed cork will transmit from
fifty to sixty per cent. more power with
the same tension Of belt than one hav-
ing only a smooth iron surface.-Scien-

CUBAN HOSPITALITY.
Result OF a Hot Midwinter Tramp From
Santiago to Havana.

We quote the closing paragraphs of
Phelps Whitmarsh, author of The
Worlds Rough Hand" of hot mid
winter tramp from Santiago to Ha-
vana:
Although the entering Of city at
night and on foot was no new thing for
ty-six days on the road, and after hav-
ing walked seven hundred and fifty
miles with that particular city as our
goal, we looked mt the mysterious arc
of light in the heavens before us with
a strange pleasure not unmixed with
exultation; for not only had we accom-
plished what we had set out to do
with safety and in perfect health, but
we Also had that peculiar masculine
satisfaction Of knowing that we were
the first white men to travel through
Cuba on foot.
AS soon as we crossed the bridge at
Guanabacoa we saw the electric lights
of Havana in circles, squares, and
seemingly endless rows. The whole
city was ablaze. The placid waters Of
the harbor over which we looked were
shot with silvery streamers. For the
remaining four miles we forgot our
sore feet, our WEAKNESS, even our hun
ger, and stepped along at gait in
keeping with our lively spirits. At
every turn we found evidence that we
were again entering civilization: first
great. white-walled fort guarding the
road; then brightly lighted carriages;
later a paved street, and at last a
horse-car Then from the suburban
gloom we suddenly emerged into a
busy thoroughfarc. We had made for
~ miles that day, and were In Havana.
But alas. our rejoicings were quickly
block a small man with large whis-
tie appeared ut Balaam's head. He
looked at us suspiciously for mo-
mcnt, then whistled twice. AS IL by
magic four policemen appeared. In
vain we protested threatened, and
fiourished handfuls of papers under the
little mans nose. Our looks were
against us. With jubilant negro
crowd surrounding US, we were march
cd off ANONYMOUSLY to the police-sta-
ton for the seventh time, and run
in" mule, dog. and all, for the night.
Thus even to the last we were the re-
cipients Of the one thing above all
others that stranger notices in Cuba
its boundless hospitality.

Keeps Ferrets to Clear 0ut the Rats Whes

vestigate the cause of this midnight
disturbance and lit the candle, the only
illuminant procurable, and to my sur
prise beheld ten of the largest rats. I'm
my opinion, ever seen. They ranged
i'm size from an average squirrel to an
ordinary dog. Not the least fear was
manifested by these rats. They de-
liberately surveyed me and continued
the work of eating my shoes. One
large fellow, evidently master of cere-
monies, was bold enough TO attempt
to bite me. This affront was more tilnn

sleep, slowly shuffied up to this cham

contemptuously inquired the cause of
the racket. After stating the nature
of the trouble, he allowed he would
settle 1t in short order. In about ten
minutes rats poured into the room in
droves to the number of about one
hundred and fifty, all sizes and con-
ditions, large and small. lean and fat,
all sQueaking and apparently fright
ened. l thought something unusual

picions were confirmed by the arrival
OF several fcrrets whose eyes sparkled
with glee ut the slaughter they proceed

unmanageable and too annoying to his
guests. "-Washington Post.
