A wealthy and cultured American,
prominent in social and literary circles,
lately died in England, where he had
resided for thirty years. Since his first
week abroad he had never dined at an
Englishman's table. At his first din
ner-party in London his host made a
sighting reference to the United
States, which his guest, as a guest,
could not resent. Upon the spot he

his foot. The archduke took out his
handkerchief, brushed the dust from his
shoe and remarked aloud to his host,
"What an awkward person that is!''
The archduke was too highly placed in
Europe to acknowledge the possibility
of intentional insult. One would need
to go far to find two more comprehen-
sive illustrations of an unhappy but not
infrequent phase of social life. Some
persons wound others Intentionally

c. n. EXPRESS CAR ROBBED
NEAR GREAT FALLS, MONT.
Stopped the Train and Kept Passengers
in Train with BuIlets-Three Persons
Stockholders Blew open Safes and
Took All the Cash-S3O, 900.

Helena, Mont, July A special
from Great Falls, Mont, says:
Train No. 8 on the Great Northern,
westbound, was held up near Wag-
ner, not far from Great Falls by three
masked men. They blew the express
car to pieces with dynamite, tear
ing off the roof and sides down to the
floor, and then forced the express
messenger to open his safe, but it was
emtpy. Without asking him to open
the through safe, to which he did not
have the combination, they shattered
it with dynamite and secured the con-
tents. 1t is reported the booty was
100000, but this can not be verified.
While the robbery was in progress
a fusilade of shots was kept up along
the sides of the coaches, forcing the
passengers to remain within. Few
ventured to look out. and Travelling
Auditor Douglas was slightly wound
ed in the arm. A little girl was also
slightly wounded in the shoulder, and
Brakeman Woodside was shot in the
arm. Woodside's condition is SER
iOus.
One of the robbers boarded the train
at Malta, and rode on the blind bag
gage to Wagner, where he pulled the
bellcord. When the train stopped he
climbed onto the engine and forced
the engineer and fireman to leave. By
this time his confederates had APP
peared, and began shooting along the
sides of the train to keep the passen-
gers from coming to the relief of the
/ express messenger.
Dynamite was then applied to the
express car. When the first explosion

near started to ride toward the train,
but when the second explosion oc-
CURED he turned to ride away. and
one of the robbers shot his horse, dis
aiding the animal, but the herder got
away, anu walking to Malta gave the
alarm and a posse started for the
scene, but the robbers had mounted
horses that were picketed in a coulee
near by They forded the river and
struck off for the bad lands to the
south, riding at a slow canter. and
keeping a lookout behind as long as
they were in sight.
/ A large posse is in pursuit, but the
robbers had good start and were
riding good horses, and the topogra-
ply of the country is favorable to es-
cape. The men had their faces black
ened with charcoal and wore masks,
but several of the passengers say
they could identify them. A late re-
port says the amount secured from
the through safe was $4,000. The
express company has offered reward
: of $4,000 for the arrest and convic-
ton of the robbers.
|. The first that any of the passengers
knew of the robbery was when the
train came to a standstill One Of
the desperadoes fired a shot to in
timidate the trainmen. Sheriff Grit
fifth of Valley county was on board
/ and realized Immediately that the
. train was being held up. AT the first
, opportunity he shot at one of the rob-
bers.

The truth is that handwriting has as
sumed a far lower place in business
pursuits than it occupied a few years
ago. The great bulk of mercantile
correspondence is now conducted by
means of the typewriter. and that use

into the realms Of authorship and news
paper work as well. There will always
be a demand for neat and legible pen

the greater majority of pursuits this

No doubt it is a mere coincidence,
and yet some people might suppose
that the President had superstitious
preference for monosyllables in choos-
ing members of his cabinet. There have
been in all fifteen heads of the eight
departments. Look at this array OF
names: Day, Hay, Gage, Long, Root.
Knox, Bliss, Smith and Griggs. Then
there were Gary and Alger, whose
names were short, but not monosylla-
bic. Seventy-six letters suffice for the
surnames of all the fifteen cabinet Off
GERS, or almost exactly five letters to a
name.

At the VOLCANOES Crater.

A party of Americans touring In
Mexico recently accomplished the un-
usual feat of ascending to the edge of
the crater of Mount Popocatapetl. the
famous volcano of the North American
continent. A member of the party in
describing the trip says the crater is a
marvel and we'll worth n hard journey
to see. "A huge and gloomy pit ii is"
he says, 'its steep sides emitting sui
phurous smoke and fumes, and it's per-
pendicular walls descending, it Is said,
to a depth Of 1,500 feet. At the bottom
is a small lake of emerald green, sur
rounded by volcanic rocks and deposits
of sulphur AT the top there is ledge
of rock at the crater's edge, from which
we made our observations Of the crater
and upon which we were photographed.
I did not observe any difficulty in
breathing or any noticeable increase OF
heart action, but several members OF
the party were painting painfully and
were hardly able to speak. One of my
comrades told me that he could fee
his heart beat through his coat and
sweater. The temperature was very
cold, but IL seemed to be modified some
what by the natural warmth of the era
ter and we were protected against the
Icy wind outside"

The tendency to bring producer and
consumer together and eliminate mid
dlemen has manifested itself in an ar
rangement whereby the sale of cotton
and wool will be put in the bands Of
organizations formed of cotton and
wool growers. This movement has not
attracted much attention because the
capital involved is small as compared
with that of many of the great manu-
featuring combines. But it may result
In as great change in business meth
DDS and as great economy as any which
have resulted from combines which

When Rev. George ID. Heron and
Miss Carrie Rand were married in New
York the other night they uttered spir
itual beliefs that are dangerous to the
continuity of our social and moral eS
adjustments, says the ChicRgO Jour
nal. In the interests of good order and
a higher sense Of responsibility on the
part of civilized humanity, the mar
riage custom has evolved from a sim
pie, savage rite to one that carries a
deep obligation and is interlinked with
a sacramento solemnity that makes 1t
strikingly impressive. There are civil
and religious marriages, but both have
legal sanction. They constitute con
tracts that cannot be easily abrogated.
and the entire thought of those who
framed our laws was to throw the
greatest protection around the institu-
ton. Statutes have been enacted that
severely punish the man or woman
who enters the connubial state and
then proves false to the sacred vows.
If there were no restraint, the family
that inhabits the earth would be illegit-
innate and lawless, disconnected and
shameless-mere tribes that would
prey upon each other in the most bar
barous manner. A positive union of
souls is beautifully sentimental. DIR.
Heron and Miss Rand assert that they
have discovered between themselves a
love that is abiding and harmonious, a
love that is so strong and everlasting
that no words of priest or prelate are
needed to cement it, and that all they
should be coerced into doing is max
ing an announcement of the fact. The
law of the land prescribing certain
formalities they declare pestiferous
and unnecessary, and begrudgingly
comply with it. Prof. Heron must
