IL national convention here yesterday,
several states of the Union being rep
resented.
To their surprise their attorney. n st.
Paul man, did not appear. and the true
condition of affairs was not demon
strated. 1t vas Il disappointment to
those who had travelled hundreds of
miles.
The disgust of the attendants
reached a climax when it was shown
that the United States attorney for

is alleged to be located. had repeatedly
stated that no estate existed in Mary

homes disillusioned.

Among the old letters addressed to
George Washington, now collected in
the State Department library, is one
from a lady who writes in the post
script that she is sorry not to be able
to use note-paper worthy of his royal
station, but had she used gold that
would have required an outer wrapper,
and 1t would have been too much to
ask one in his position to open two
wrappers in order to get at so unwor-
thy n note as her own. This polite
speech suggests that even in paying
compliments there are fashions as
in other things. 1t is not certain,
however, that the letter TO Washing
ton typifes the fashion of that day.
Doubtless President Mckinley would
be greatly surprised to find such a
compliment in n letter addressed to
him, and perhaps General Washington
himself was surprised and amused by
his effusive correspondent. The things
lone in jest or in eccentricity in one
generation are oftea taken as wholly
serious by those who read of them in
"A later one.

A woman was recently arrested for
begging in the streets of New York.
She was well known to the police. and
when her case was called some curious
information about her was brought
out. She always had n thin, fretful
baby in her arms, and the baby con
stantly cried. That was her capital.
and to keep it unimpaired and produc-
tive, she made a practice of pinching
the child whenever it seemed inclined
to settle into quiet. The ruse was so
successful that the beggar had n COM
Portable bank account and a we'll
furnished home. All of which bears
out the wisdom of a little investigation
before bestowing charity. even when
the case appeals strongly to the sym
pathies.

ALLEGED ROBBERS DEN
EAST OF LONGMONT

Longmont. Colo. April 13.-Denver
Republican Specialize mild attempt
to emulate the proves of the famous
Jesse james gang has been unearthed
near here. in the opinion of local ofii-
GERS. by the arrest of three mysterious
ranchmen, known as Kraig, T~urvinger
and Townsend. Such is the opinion of
Detective w. II. Reno of the Colorado
Il Southern railway, and Marshal Il.
NJ. Basher of LongmOnt.
The men were arrested yesterday on
the charge of robbing the railroad
ticket and postoffice at Ebert, and in
~cidentally the ~unsolved ~burglaries at
the Loveland ticket office and Golden
postotiice are laid to them.
The three men had purchased n
f~orty-acrR ranch about eight miles east
of here. between this town and Platte
vile, where they erected a house and
barn, the latter being always occupied
by well kept saddle horses. Numerous
excursions by the mysterious tenants
have been noted, and on several occas-
ions they are said to lave absented
themselves for several days at n time.
Strangers were frequent visitors, and
the officers are now looking for another
companion by the name of Cunning
ham. who is thought by the officers to
have been implicated in the recent rob
berries. It
If the ranch was to be used as the
basis for ~marauding expeditions. its
location was almost ideal, situated as
II was but a few miles from both the
Union Pacific and Colorado roads.
