BREAKING UP ROBBER GANG.
Chief Of the Band Posed as q Wealthy
Silk Dealer.

New York.-According to Captain
Titus Of the detective bureau, Joseph
Goldman, who was arrested Friday
night, with four other men and boys,
on the charge Of burglary, were the
head and bruins Of an extensive gang
Of burglars that operated throughout
this city, Brooklyn and New Jersey.
Goldman was known as an extensive
commission merchant In gloves and
silks. He did not carry any stock at
his place Of business, but is said to
have control Of large stocks in vari-
Gus parts Of this city. The attention
Of the police had been directed to
Goldman By thieves who have been
arrested and convicted of numerous
robberies and who after being sent to
prison would accuse him of connec-
tion with the rnbberies because they
said Goldman had not kept his part
Of the bargain.
The stories of the convicted burg
lars were repeated so often that some
attention was paid &c them and for
several weeks past detectives were
kept at Goldman's heels constantly.
According to the police meetings of
the alleged gang were held at which
Goldman presided.
Plans OF robbery were made at
these gatherings and each mans work
was mapped out When a place was
selected Goldman would go there and
buy a small bill Of goods, at the same
time being careful to find out IL the
place was wired with burglar alarms.
He would make his report at the next
meeting Of his "gang" and finally
preparations for robbing the place
would be made. Occasionally it
would be decided to enter fiat and
in this work, it is alleged, Goldman
had sixteen expert fat workers or
thieves.
The gang, according to Captain I'll
tus, had made preparations for rob-
bling two big glove and silk houses
and the plumber they would have OBJ
tanned would have been valued in the
aggregate at least $50, 900.

bestowed upon an American This
is the history of the triennial prize
of 5000 marks just awarded by the
Berlin Academy of Science to the
American historian, Mr.. James Ford
Rhodes, of Boston. 1t carries with
il fresh and striking proof that the
world of science and literature knows
none ofthose political metes and bounds
whose settlement and maintenance
form the history Of nations, and ara
accountable for SO much of the
worlds bloodshed. To American his
torians this recognition of one who
has made a permanent place for him
self in his chosen field will be most
grateful, remarks the New York

Any careful observer must have
noted how much more popular re-
creation has of late become among
the American people. The Saturday
half-holiday is more general and Va
cations are longer and more INDUCED
in by all classes. And In addition
to these, excursions and days on"
are more frequent and popular than
formerly. Some one handy at fg.
ures" has estimated that 10000. 900 In
the United States will take a vacar
ton this summer. and that on an ev-
erage each one viii spend $40. This
would make a total of 100000. 900
spent for rest and recreation. II In
probable that the figures are too
small. Leaving out the rich and leas-
ure class. to whom time and money
is no object. at least one in each
seven of all the people in the country
will enjoy a vacation this summer.
extending from five to 80 days. This
would mean a rest for over 10000
900 people. and IL they spend only
s12 each. about s15O.OOo.0O0 win be
used in gaining rest and recreation.
1t is time and money well spent. No
investment made in the whole year
brings in larger returns. 1t is one
of the causes which are adding per-
ceptibly to the span of life. The
frightening Of this span has become
so evident that a revision of the old
tables of the expectation of human
Me has been made necessary.

During this operation Czolgosz cried
and yelled, making the prison cor.
rider echo with evidence Of his ter
rnr. The prison physician, DR.. John
Germ, examined the man and ordered
his removal to the cell in the con-
demned row, which he will occupy
until he is taken to the electric chair.
The doctor declared that the man was
suffering from fright and terror, but
said that he was shamming to some
extent.
The collapse of the murderer was q
surprise to every one. En- route from
Buffalo he showed no Indication Of
breaking down. He ate heartily Of
sandwiches and smoked cigars when
not eating. He talked some and ex-
pressed regret for his crime He said ::

Kinley."
He reiterated his former statement
that he had no accomplices and de-
clared that he never had heard of the
man under arrest in st. Louis who
to have tied the handkerchief
over his hand, concealIng the pistol
with which the president was shot.
He says the handkerchief was not
tied. He went behind the Temple of
Music, arranged the handkerchief so
as to hide the weapon and then took
his place in the crowd. To Jailer
he sent this message to his
father:
"Tell him l left such q bad name"

San Antonio, Tex.-News has just

that occurred in Presidio county near
the Rio Grande river on the 25th
inst, thirteen mon who we're pospect-
ing for cinnbar losing their lives in
foods caused by a water spout or
clcudburst The men were in two
parties, camped one mile apart in q
dry ravine, known as Almito creek.
In which there had been no water
for fifteen months on account of
drought. The men were asleep at Q
CLOCK when there was q cloudburst
several miles up the ravine. a vol
ume Of water twenty feet deep rushed
down the channel Of the raviue and
swept over the men in the two camps
before they were aware of their
danger.
All were drowned and mp to chi
time only six bodies have been re
covered. The Almito empties into
the Rio Grade river not far from
where the fatality occurred and it is
more than probable that the other
seven bodies have been swept into
that stream. The dead are: William

Hernandis Costello, Phillip Humph'

Comparison between the cost Of
government in France today and dur
ing the last year of the empire are be-
ing made to the disadvantage of the
republic. In 1869 the total cost
amounted to $685.. O0O. 900. In the year
ending March 81, 1901, the expendi-
lures amounted to $3.50. 900. OOO Mean
time the population has remained al
most stationary and the per capita
cost of government for the last fiscal
year amounted to SIS. The increase
in cost is due largely to the French
policy of refunding debts and annual
deficits and to the cost of maintain
ing unproductive colonies.

Use Cotton Seed Meal Instead,
Having Recently Bought Several
Cotton Seed oil MILLS.
Atlanta, Ga. June 2S.--According to re-
nable reports here, a big fight may be ex
pected within a short time between the
Virginia Carolina Chemical Company on
the one hand, and the Armour Packing
Company and the Swift Fertilizer Com
pany on the ether The Swifts have
big fertilizer plant here, and manufacture
fertilizer at other places. The Armours
have been in the same business for years,
and are now building a new $1,000 ton
pant in this county.
For the past two years, the packing
houses have been forcing up the price of
tankage and blood to the Virginia Caro-
lina Company. Those by-products of the
packing houses are the best source of am
nonia for plant food, and it seems the
price is gradually becoming almost pro-
hibitive. In order to protect themselves
the Virginia Carolina Company had begun
buying up cotton seed oil plants. 1t has
recently purchased the Interstate Mill, at
Augusta, at S15O,0OO has bought four mills
in South Carolina, and mills at other
points. besides which it has options on a
number of others which are not in the
Southern Cotton Oil Company
A gentleman who is in a position to
know of what is going on said to-day
You may count on 1t, the Virginia-Car-
DINA Company will put itself In a posi-
ton to be independent of the packing
houses"
This company will use cottonseed meal
as its source of ammonia. which. though
not SO good as tankege and dried blood,
is more abundant. Ii is expected there
will be a lively struggle between the two
factions. Georgia used in 1900 about Az
900 tons of fertilizers, and though the
figures have not been given out for 1901
II is said the amount this year will APP
proximste 10000 tons. Any competition
between these two trusts which will tend
TO reduce the price will. therefore mean
a great deal to the Georgia planters
