Money.RaisinS Charge.

Chicago.-Two young men and a
young woman have been arrested in
this city by Capt Porter of the gov
eminent secret service and city detec-
tives on charges of raising and passing
greenbacks. The men are charged
with raising the bills, the woman in
some cases with passing them. Those
arrested are Thomas Kelly, alias Jones,

The fiat at No. 365 Grand avenue
was raided and the outfits found there
were cOnfiscated. Some of the bills
raised were found on one of the men;
the other was caught in the act OF
passing a 81 note that had been raised
to a $40.
Capt. Porter reports that the gang
has worked in nearly every city OF

way the notes had been raised was ex-
ceedingly clever. and only an expert
could tell that they had been tam.

1t Is well known that Mrs. EmmonA
Blaine has made muniicent provisions
for stablishing the Chicago Institute,
with the twofold object of providing
ideal educa tional conditions from kin
dergarten to college and offering to
teachers the best advantages for pro-
fessional training. One feature of the
enterprise which is not often mention
ed is of much Importance. After the
staff of instruction was appointed, the
twentySiX men and women who COM
prise the staff were placed under sal
aries and were allowed a year for ma
turing their own qualifications before
being called to their respective chairs.
Most of them are now pursuing special
studies at universities, or are travelling
on tours of observation in the rich Old
World. This faculty elect is composed
of persons already well educated.
Many of them have already proved
their fitness for the work for which
they now seek fresh preparation. Such
fact emphasizes the modern urgency
for higher educational standards. The
teacher must ever be learner. The
same impulse reaches downward to the
preparatory schools. The conditions of
admission to the best colleges are not
growing easier. And for those who
seek real education the regular course
leads to a real commencement" be-
cause the bachelors degree marks the
first step, the lowest round on the lad
der of that higher learning which is to
be the joyous pursuit and passion of
lifetime. Postgraduate studies are also
growing in fashion, because every pro-
fession, like that of the instructor, de-
mands superior equipment, with
broader and deeper grounding. In all
departments of skilled labor-in art
and artisan work, in business manage
ment and the conduct of human affairs
along every line-there is the same de-
mand for higher standards, as if civil
ization were trying to throw off the
curse of bad work. As the late James
7. Fields once remarked: There is ev-
erywhere a demand for what is first
class. Nobody wants "a pretty good
egg"

KILLED IN HIS CAR
Express messenger Murdered on the
Panhandle.

Columbus (O).-When the Pennsyl
vania express, which left Cincinnati
at o'clock, arrived here shortly be-
fore midnight, it was discovered that
train robbers had looted the express
car and killed Messenger Charles Lane.
When the robbery and murder was
committed no one knows, but it is sur
missed that the robbers boarded the
train between Milford Center and Co.
lumbus. Milford Center is twenty
eight miles from here, and the train
stopped there to let off a passenger.
When the local express agent went to
the car to put on some packages he
found the door locked. Repeated
knocking at the door failed to bring
any response, and an entrance was
forced.
Express Messenger Lane was found
dead in one corner of the car, shot
eight times in the body. By his side
was his own revolver, every cartridge
of which had been fired. Blood be-
spattered the walls, boxes and pack
ages, and everything showed that Lane
had made a desperate struggle to pro-
tect his charge.
The safe in which the money and
valuableS had been placed was empty.
The robbers had gone about their work
methodically, and in an expert man
ner. The door of the strong box had
been blown off. but only enough ex-
plosive had been used to accomplish
the desired end. Apparently none of
the valuables or many packages had
been destroyed by the impact. 1t is
believed the robbers got s45;O00, as
this train usually carries a large
amount of money.
Lane, the messenger, was seen at
Milford Center by members of the
train crew, who talked with him there.
The train made no stops between Mil
| ford Center and Columbus. 1t slowed
up, however, on the outskirts of the
city, which gave the robbers a chance
/ to leave the train. This presumption
is being acted upon by local police,
and the detectives. who are now
! searching the city. A careful examina-
ton of the body of the dead messenger
revealed eight bullet wounds Three
of them were in the right side of the
back, about eight inches below the
shoulder. One was in the left side, six
inches above the hip bone. Four were
in and about the calf of the right leg.

NOME NEEDS RELIEF
Thousands of Miners Face Destitution.

San Francisco-Charles D. Lane, the
well-known miner, who has returned
from Cape Nome, where he has large
interests, said:
From 5000 to 10000 people at Nome
are facing absolute restitution, and
their only possible relief is through
the United States government.
Steamers now running to Nome
could not possibly bring out the des-
titute gold hunters, even if the owners
could be expected to give them free
transportation.
United States Senator Lindsay of
Virginia and Congressman julius
Kahn, to whom 1 have explained the
conditions at Nome, have written the
War Department urging prompt relief
measures of some sort.
Gen. Randall has been successful
in maintaining peace, but the military
force there find it next to impossible
to enforce the sanitary regulations
necessary to preserve the health of the
community. Practical miners have left
the beach and are prospecting in the
gulches. Rumors of good finds are
heard occasionally, but they are with
out confirmation"

RIGHT AND LEFT FACES.
Physiognomies Which Are Stumbling
Blocks to Photographers.

Physiognomies Which Are Stumbling
Blocks to Photographers.
"One Of the principal obstacles in
the way Of successful portrait photog-
raphy," said an old-time local expert,
sis the asymmetry of the average hui
man face. The features Of ninety-nine
people out Of hundred are deniably
asymmetrical-in other words, the
right and left sides are different in
size, shape and general contour. We
don't notice this variation unless our
attention is attracted to it, but it is
there all the same, and for some rea-
son that l am not able to explain it is
generally emphasized by the camera.
What 1 say applies, of course, to full
face pictures only, for when the head
is turned slightly the deviations are
scarcely ever discernible.
Among men asymmetry often lends
great strength to a countenance. Bis
marck was a striking example Of that
fact, and so was Gladstone. If you are
skeptical take a full-face picture of
either and cover one-half of 1t with a
card. Then reverse the process and
examine the other side. You will be
surprised. In fact, you will discover
four different men, all distinct types"

That the number of killed and in
iured on American railways in 1899
was greater than the entire British
casualties in the Boer war should sug-
gest that a great deal more can be done
towards safeguarding life and limb in
this branch of transportation than has
been accomplished. The doubling of
tracks and adoption of the block signal
system should be expected of every
railway company. Legislatures should
hasten these improvements whenever
possible. The labor unions and others
who are working for the adoption of
the automatic coupler on all rolling
stock should not relax their efforts.
Profit being the first consideration with
railroad managers, they must be kept
I'D to the mark by constant watchfuI-
ness on the part Of those interested in
making the railway system safer for
themselves and the travelling public.
AS for the record of over 10000 per-
sons killed or injured by being run over
at crossings or while standing on rail-
road tracks, this can be diminished by
abolishing grade crossings and by the
enforcement of laws and regulations
against trespassing on railway tracks.
We have too little regard for the sacred
ness of human life. We need to copy
European methods in fencing the pub
lie off from railway lines. Until we do
this, the annual killing and manning
will continue.

custody he assumed a nonchalent de-

could no longer carry out the decep-
ton he made full confession.
After his statement had been taken
by Chief of Police Tyler and he was
led to a cell in the Police Station, he
was in a state of nervous collapse. and
orders were given that he be watched
closely to prevent his doing himself
bodily harm.
The confession of Terrell disclosed a
premeditated and blood-curdling crime,
almost impossible to believe. He said
he had become desperate because of
his inability to secure employment and
a realization of the fact that he must
have money to defray the expenses of
his approaching marriage. The rob-
| berry, including the murder of Express
Messenger Lane, had been planned
carefully. Ferret had no accomplices
and no confidantes. He knew Lane
we'll; in fact, they were friends, and
he relied upon Lanes confidence to
help him execute the crime. He knew
that considerable money was always
carried by the messenger between st.

certain to secure a large sum if he
robbed the way-safe.

crime, he drew his revolver, stepped
up behind Lane upobserved, and fired
three shots in rapid succession into the
messengers back. Lane rolled off his
chair, and Terrell fired the remaining
shots at the PROSTATE body. Lane
was UNCONSCIOUS, but Terrell, fearing
that the wounds already inflicted would
not cause death, took Lanes revolver
and fired two more bullets from it into
the body. Terrell then took from the
pocket of the dead messenger the key
to the way safe, opened the safe, and,
as precaution against surprise, laid

COILS ON TRAIN ROBBERY

New York Speaking on the subject

recent robbery of a Union Pacific train,
President G. P. Huntington of the
Southern Pacific Railway, said in an
interview:
Passengers on railroad trains are
entitled to protection. People in New
York are also entitled to protection
but some of them get sandbagged
every night. 1 think the government
should put one man, we'll armed, on
every mail train. AS to whether OF
not the railroad companies should put
on armed guards as a protection
against robbers, that is a question
for consideration, and not to be de-
cided off-handed."
Huntington further said that if il
was known that a government guard
was on each mail train robbers would
not attack the train.
