DON'T STEAL TRASH
LOOTERS OF THE GOVERNMENT
TREASURY MAKE BIG HAULS
NOW AND THEN.
Impossible for Burglar To Carry
Enough Gold or Silver To Amount
To Much, But He Could Make
Things Count In Currency Room
Some Old Noted Robberies.

The loss by the government of $7O,-
900 worth of stamps, taken by robbers
from the temporary p%ostoftice building
in Chicago, has given w. A. PinkertOn,
the detective chief, an opportunity to
say 81 told you So" says the Record,
Helena. Mont.
1t was only q few years ago that he
pointed out to Postmaster Gordon the
ACCESSIBILITY of connecting the vaults
electrically with the watch system.
The postmaster approved. but when he
presented the matter at Washington it
was turned down as too expensive. 1t
would have cost three or four hundred
dollars to install the system. the alb
sence of which has now cost the
United States $4,000.
This ecent robbery has led some
people to ask If there is not danger Of
the feat being repeated by burglars,
who might tunnel beneath the trea.
sury at Washington. In Washington,
however. the idea is scoffed at. The
best safeguard for the treasury there
is its own weight. The $3.50, OC0 900
in silver now held in the strong rooms
weights nearly 5000 tons. A million
dollars in gold coin weighs two tons
so it would be impossible for a burglar
to carry off any sufficient amount to
make the game worth while. A gold
brick representing $4,000 is only as
large as an ordinary building brick,
but its theft" would be something as
tonishing to one who has neve before
lifted it.
There is a vault in the cashroom,
however, which contains money that
could be more easily got away with.
Besides the gold and silver. there are
millions Of dollars in paper certificates
always kept here. A parcel just a
foot cube in size sometimes contains
81. 1000, 900.
But the hazard connected with such
a robbery helps to render It practi-
cally prohibitive. The bills are all num-
bered and could be easily traced.
However, though &c well protected
against burglars, the treasury does not
find itself thief-proof. A man with a
large Panama hat walked INTO the
treasurer's office nee The employees
attention was distracted by other PEG
pie present and the man dropped his
hat c~arelessly over a package of bills
amounting to $4,000. When he left 1t
was discovered that the bills were
gone too. The notes were afterward
traced to a New York bank and the de-
positor was arrested, but for some
reason vas never punished for the
crime. That happened in 1870.

Chickweed was believed by Isabel of
Bavaria to be good for the complexion.
and. accordingly. she had decoctiuns
of it made, in which she bathed daily.
Dian of Poictiers pinned her faith
to cold rain water and took her ma
tutinal tnb-aS-regAlasly as any water
loving damsel OF to-day. The beau
ties of the asst century also believed
in bathing. but they put all sorts OF
strange things in the water to improve
their skins. says Woman's Life
Among the many other popular addI-
lions to the bath were veal broth
water distilled from the honey ex-
tracted from roses. melon juice, and
the milky extract of green barley. and
various preparations containing al
monds and yolks OF eggs. Queen Ma
RE Antoinette was fond Of bathing,
and liked the water made aromatic
with wild thyme, laurel leaves ano
marjoram, with the addition OF a lit
tie sea salt.

Has Suffered Much for His Country.
Thomas Estrada Palma is &C years OF
age, His father was a wealthy planter
in the easternmo3t province of Cuba,
and the son was well educated in Cuba
and in Spain, and became a lawyer,
with a view no so much to the prac-
tice of his profession as to the better
management of the affairs of a large
estate.
His patriotic sympathies led him to
active service in the ten years strug-
gle for independence which began in
1868 and ended in the insurgent army.
Toward the end Of the war, he became
the president of the provisional govern
ment. a position which at least indi-
held by the Cuban people.
He was made a prisoner. taken to
Spain, at the risk of his life refused
to swear allegiance, witnessed, in con
sequence. the c%onfiscation of his es-
tates, and some time after the final
termination of the struggle ~regained
his personal liberty. 1T the loss. how
ever, of his Cuban property and home.
Wl"n he gTns to Cuba, two or three
nc: lbs hsnce, to assume the duties and
high-honors of the presidency. ii will
be after IN absence of twenty-four
years.
After his release. at the end of the
Ten Years war, Palma Travelled in
Spanish-Amelican countries, and set
tied in Honduras. where he married the
daughter of the prefr1nt Of that re
public ana became post-master-general.
Subsequently he came with his wife
and one little child to New Ycrn, auI
saw an opportunity to establish a
school for young people from the
Spfnish-Anerican countries.
His institute was located in the lit
tie town of Central Valley, in Orange
county. New York. some forty miles
from the metropolis. He las now
lived in Central Valley for eighteen
years, and his six children. Eve OF
whom were born there. have known no

There is a famous theft on record in

of putting together scraps Of torn bills

scheme for making nine notes out of
eight. She practiced this a long time

in steling a large amount, nobody ever
