iSE1 FOR IfTRDERE FRS.
Black Mask Found Supposed Property
 of Burglars.

1 Pittsfield, Mass, Aug. 1.-During the
 day many wild rumors were in circula- tion concerning the discovery of clues, the location of the fugitives, etc., but reparted at one time that three men had
 been surrounded In the woods some dist
 ance from the city but the local police placed no credence in the story.
 Among the few important develop ments to-day was the announcement that a black mask had been found yes-
 terday near the shoe and Derby hat left
 by the robbers It also developed that the mask was worn by the man who
 did the shooting
 Arrangements were partially complet- ed to-day for the funeral which is to be held tomorrow forenoon. Rev. S. c. V.
 Holmes, pastor of the Westminster
 Presbyterian church of Buffalo, of which the dead girl was a prominent member will officiate at the services. The body will be placed in a vault at the Pttsfield cemetery for a time and later will be taken to Buffalo for interment
 While great many uncouth looking strangers nave been Qeta1ned by the pO- lice there is no reason to believe that any of them was concerned In the Eos burg burglary. This morning the mayor, in behalf of the city announced that a reward of $1,500 would be paid for information which would lead to the apprehension of the three burglars or $500 for the capture of any one of them. About 1,500 men were out the greater part of the night, patrolling the country roads, and mountains of out lying districts. Every road, public and private, is guarded closely by special officers, constables, detectives, and citi- Zens. Chief of Police Nicholson, who is- sued the call for volunteers received re- sponses from nearly 2000 men and boys great many more than he could pos sibly furnish with arms All who joined the man hunt were instructed to use their weapons, if necessary, In the event of any of the robbers being cornered.
 Chief of Police Nicholson is still of the opinion that the much wanted men are hiding somewhere in the vicinity of Pittsfield The authorities are certain that the burglars do not belong in this vicinity and they feel strengthened in this belief by the shoe found bearing the label of New York dealer. which is supposed to have been lost during the flight of the men from the Fosburg

Objects to Propaganda.

Rome, Aug. 21.-The pope has ad- dressed a letter to the cardinal-vicar, in which he sets forth the danger of the free propaganda of Professionalism in Italy, especially in Rome.
 He observes that this propaganda is permissible by law, but goes on to show how painful to him is the situation re- sulting from 1t, since he cannot oppose the propaganda.
 Pope Leo recommends that the car dinal-vicar strengthen the work of pre- serving the faith, and he eXhorts Catho- lies to unite in an effort to minimize as far as possible the damage caused by seCtarian prOpaganda.

.EXP.ENSIYE FIRES
Raging Flames in Colorado Cause Great Damage.

 Denver, Col, Aug. 21.--Ten million dollars damage is estimated to be the result of the forest fires in Colorado and Wyoming. This estimate was made to-day by c. H. Wantland, gen. eral land agent of the Union Pacific railway. According to that official the loss on timber is only comparatively small item.
 MT. WalAtland said to-day:
 Tn many places the fires are spread ing over almost bare country, land where there is nothing but young growth which might have made the forests of ten and twenty years hence if it had not been for these fires. Lands which could have been sold for homes because of the pleasant sur roundings will for years not be worth much. The vicinity of Glenwood Springs and such places, where the tourists resort will be much affected ill a commercial way because the scenery will be impaired
 In Middle Park the fires are burning so fercely that ranchmen are begin- ming to fear that their homes will be swept away.
 A despatch from Saratoga, Wyo, says the fires In the Sierra Madre range have been checked by rain.

Charming Renee, Miss Kinsaly's S novel,
is a sort Of mixture, as to style, of The
Tenant Of Wildfeu Hall and Jane Eyre,
the influence Of the Bronte sisters upon
the author being quite perceptible. How
ever, she might have had worse models,
but while one does find the little heroins
quite charming, there is a sinister and
grewsome air about it all that is, at
times, rather depressing. Still there are
persons who like just this sort Of thing,
and revel in the exploiting of violent
passions. Such win ind the story of
Renee very much to their taste. port
