THE BIBLE tells US that when q

all his armor wherein he trusted and

The Street Car Mems Strike.

Albany N. Y. May 15.-Yesterdsy's
rioting aud bloodshed had demonstrat
ed the utter inability OF the police to
cope with the lawless element OF the
city. The traction. company officials
therefore appealed for military protec-
ton and orders we're at once sent to
the 23d regiment of Brooklyn to report
for duty here today. Shortly before
midnight four companies were marched
to the scenes of the expected trouble
and the city began to take on q milit-
airy air. There was little trouble DUR
ing the night. An exciting incident
occurred, however, shortly before mid
night. Two deputy sheriffs from Her
kimer arrived in the city with 10 pris'
oners bound for the Albany penitenti-
ary. The men were haudcuffed 10
pairs and as there were no cars rum
uipg, the officers started to walk the
prisoners to q oarrysll. A crowd oil
strikers mistook the men for new re-
cruits and the result was that the
prisoners we're surrounded, and, 10 the
excitement, six of them escaped. The
others were locked up ut police head.
quarters for the night. 1t Is believed
the company still has many men at its
command and attempts to operate the
road will be made again today. The
remainder OF the 23d regiment o.
Brooklyn, will be here this afternoon
and the Second regiment Is expected
during the day. Other commands
throughout the state have been ordered
to be 10 readiness.

THE RECENT epidemic Of bank defsl.
cations Is chargesble by Treasury De-
partment officials to the speculative
boom that has been agitsting the ooun-
try. Since the stock market began to
go up no less than seven cases Of de.
faulting bank officials have come to
light, in four OF which the banks con-
cerned have been forced to suspend. 1t
is expected, too, that the crush Of last
week has involved others which have
not been heard from. The wild desire
to get rich quick seems to have taken
possession Of maj ority OF people OF
the present generation and the theory
of most of them that II they have
money 1t is nobody's business but their
own how they get 1t and that money
will shield them, tends to embolden
them to deeds of dishonesty and to
make gold rather than integrity the
standard Of their morals.

members assembled 10 the wigwam OF

they were heartily welcomed on the

The Red men, a peculiarly American
institution, have bad organizations In
Alexandria for many years-certainly
for over half g century-and In all
those years they have faithfully per-
formed their part in secret deeds which
we are told will some day be rewarded
openly. Many years ago there were
two tribes in Alexsndria-War Eagle
and the present Osceola-and numbers
of our best cirizsns have been
and are now among its members.
The order OF Red Men is close
~ identified with American history.
While it does not, like some, take one
back to the pyramids Of Egypt. the
monuments of Mexico or the days OF
Pythagoras, 1t does to the days proceed
Ing the Revolutionary War, when
American patriots had to masquerade
as Indians in their secret conclaves
