Burglars Kill Two Hen.

A gang OF three burglars was cap
tured at Pittsburg, but not until mer-
chant and detective had been killed.
The two killings occurred within the
hours, one early in the morning. the
other in the afternoon. The police are
positive that the captured men have
been guilty Of more than a score of
robberies attempted or committed in
Pittsburg and vicinity for two months
past. AT 3 a. m. Thursday the wife Of
Thomas d. Kahse, a grocer, of Mount
Washington. in South Pittsburg, was
awakened by a noise in her room and
saw man standing beside the bed in
which she slept with her little boy.
She tried to arise and the man pushed
her back, pressing handkerchief sat
urated with chlorOform over face. She
managed to cry for help and was heard
by her husband, who slept in the al
joining room. He was shot as he came
to his wife's assistance, and died in
few minutes The murderer and two
accomplices Immediately fed. without
any booty Later in the day the rob
berS were captured. but not until they
had killed Detective p. f. Fitzgerald.

TWO INCIDENTS.

In Santiago Bay Admiral Sampson
was nominally in command, but the
battle that resulted in victory for the
Americans was commanded by Ad-
miral Schley. Because Sampson was
nominally in command. it was held by
the administration with which he is a
prime favorite that Sampson was en-
titled to all the honors of the great
victory, and to all the material favOrS
resulting therefrom.
General Macarthur is in command
in the Philippines. and when Funston
went out to capture AguinaldO he was
under MacArthur's orders. Strange to
say, however, Funston is actually Civ
en- the credit for Aguinaldo's capture,
and is rewarded with a position as
brigadier general in the regular army.
II may be, however, that the charac-
ter of the reports from the command
ing officers had something to do with
the administration attitude. AL
though Sampson was at least 10 miles
away when the battle was raging he
wired to Washington: The fleet UNI
der my command offers the nation as
a Fourth of July present the deStrCo-
ton of the whole of Cervera'S fleet"
General Macarthur cabled Washing
ton in these words:
Splendid cooperation navy through
Commander Barry, officers, men.
Vicksburg Indispensable to success.
Funston loudly praises navy. Entire
army joins in thanks sea service.
The transaction was brilliant in
conception and faultless in execution.
All credit must go to Funston, who,
under supervision General Wheaton,
organized and conducted expedition
from start to finish. His reward
should be signal and immediate. Agree
with General Wheaton. who recon-
mendS FunStOn's retention volunteers
until he can be appointed brigadier
general regulars"
There is a marked difference here
in the attitude assumed by the COM
manding officers toward their subOrdi
mates. The two dispatches speak fer
themselves, and all to the great credit
of Macarthur

that which occurred in that year or in
81. Louis a few days ago would give
the state to the republicans. There is
no room in this country for two parties
rcpr esenting republican principles; un-
less the democratic party faithfully
and cOuragec"Sly opposes plutocracy
all along the line. it has neither chance
nor reason for existence.
Ii the St. Louis contest had been
purely a local one. The Commoner
would have taken no part in it, but as
1t was link in the chain-a part of
plan, national in extent, to republic
c2nize the democratic organization.
this paper called attention TO the facts
and pointed out the purpose of the re-
organizers. The daily papers outside
OF st. Louis openly discussed the
scheme and since the election the re-
jOicing has been general among those
selfstyled democrats who have twice
aided in electing a republican presi-
dent. The election of Mr.. Wells was a
disastrous victory for the democracy
of st. Louis, Missouri and the nation.

PhOtographing Jewelry.

PhOtographing jewelry as a means
of its protection is likely to become
popular now that the picture of a valu-
able diamond brooch led to it's recog-
milton and recovery. But it is doubt
ful II there is one woman among ten
who owns costly jewelry that ever
thought of taking this precaution. Ona
photographer who takes many pic
lures of women of wealth in New York
said the other day that few of them ever
had themselves photographed wearing
their jewelry, since it had become the
style to wear less jewelry than form
erly. He looked at random over half
dozen portraits made recently. and
there was scarcely on any of their
originals Iewelry that amounted to
more than a few hundred dollars in
value. Yet the majority of these wo-
men own jewels worth thousands of
dollars. In England the custom OF
wearing jewelry in photographs is
much more prevalent than it is in New
York. Pictures of English women of
wealth and position usually display
the entire contents of their jeweIry
boxes. and their tiaras, stOmachers
and necklaces are frequently conspicu-
Gus enough to be serviceable as a
means of Identification were they
stolen, although thieves rarely dare
to keep such things intact for even
the briefest time. American women
owning valuable jewelry are not likely
to possess any photographer it, unless
they were especially taken. And that
precaution has SO far been observed
in few cases.-New York Sun.
