SAFE CRACKERS.
Attempt to Burglarize the Safe
In the Office Of Has
ty & Sons. s.
Foiled in the Attempt They Make God6 /
Their Escape After Being
Caught in the Act.

About one O'Clock this morning the /
night-watchman at the Hasty staya
mill discovered a light in the Cons
pany's office. Reconnoitering be-
found burglar stealthily at work.
He shouted loudly and then hasten
ed to the section house for assist
ance. Of course the quarry va
moosed during the interim. Wien
the marshal and constable, who
also summoned, they found evidence
OF the work and its abrupt inter-
ruption. BY the kindness Of Mr.. W.
II. .Wycott o Soliphone man was
shown the safe and abandoned nten-E
sils.
The work was not coarse, but that
OF an expert although such tools as
could be found at b and were levied
upon. A track angle bar had been
used to drive the com bination tight
and tighten the knob SO that
the explosive would not run out,
Then soap had been carefully press
ed into all the cracks and crude pa
per funnel made which with the aid
OF an improvlsed medicine dropper
completed the laying Of the mine.
1t was to be exploded by concussiop.
For this purpose piece OF fuse,
with dynamite cartridge attached,
about six Inches long was to be-
touched off in close proximity
to the door. The jar would
have dome the rest. This fuse
IS in Mr.. Wycott's possession together
with vivid recollections OF about
three hours scrubbing oclean off the
peculiar tarry soap used on the Job.
Great care was exercised in opening
the safe to prevent an explosion
There were but sixteen pennies II

voted to ne}wspapers and their edi-
tors and pfablishers has the following
about Joseph Pulitzer, the greatest
newspaper man, perhaps, that tie

Joseph 4Pulitzer landed in New

without a dollar to his name. After
a trial at II sorts OF occupations, he
succeeded yn getting position under
Carl Schu IL, who gave him his first
start in j journalism. He was suc-
cessful frdlfn the start. Appreciating
the inaded puacy of his education, be
went to Europe, where he studied for
a time. On bis return to st. Louis
he learned that asnewspaper that had
ruined its ieyery stockholder was to
be sold. He bought it for $500
Associated Press franchise and all,
Newspaper men shook their heads
and smilefd. In five years the paper
was payi}g $75 900 in profits.
Joseph Pulitzer then cast his eye
toward lew York. He attracted
the attd tion of Jay Gould, owner of
the New J York World, which was
original u started as a religious pa
per. Could sold the World to Pulit-
zer for $i}46, 600. In six years it had
become ONE of the most successful
newspapers in the world, proving
that it's Ihew owner was genius in
his calliIEg.
When the World Building was
erected it was nine-day wonder
the BEST equippedlnewspaper office
in the country at that time. Pulit-
zer sp,It 81: 100000 for the site,

TERRIBLE DROUGHT.
Australia Has Suffered from Seven
Years of Dry wenther-Losses
in stock OF S75,OOO,OOO.

London, May 27.-Cabling from Sgd
ney, y. S. W., the correspondent there
of the Daily Mail gives an account of
the terrible drought from which, as a
climax to seven dry years, Australia is
now suffering. The correspondent
says that the losses in stock in Aus
tralia since 1899 amount to g15,000,-
900 (S75,000, ,00O). Unemployed men
are drifting into the cities by the thou
sands, and there the state govern
ments are providing them with relief.
The only districts that have escaped
the drought are the northern rivers
district of New South Wales and parts
of the Riverna district.
The sheep are dying by the million.
continues the correspondent, and even
the rabbits are starving. Animals
have stripped the bark from the trees
for food. A common method of treat
ing exhausted horses is to slit the ami
mails palate with knife; the horse
is revived by swallowing his own
blood. Numbers of "sundowners" and
"swagmen" have been found dead by
the waysides. The governments are
doing everything possible to alleviate
these conditions, but meteorologists
despair of an early change in the
weather conditions.

HOLDS WALLER GUILTY.
Findings of the Court-NInrtinl Have
Been OverruIed by Gen.
ChanAe.

Manila, May 26.-Gen. Chaffee has
disapproved the action of the court
martial in acquitting Maj. Waller and
Lieut.. Day of the charge of killing
natives of Samar without legal pro-
cess. Gen. Chaffee says the verdicts
are miscarriage of justice and the
findings are opposed to the evidence
He holds that while -.s laws of war
justify summary executions in cer-
tain cases, such cases did not arise in
this Samar campaign. A minute re"
view of the record leads him to de-
eide that justice to the military SER
vice and common fairness to the help
less natives whom Waller sent to
their death, his acts partaklng more
of unlawful retaliation than justifi-
able warfare, making the case one
that should not become an approved
precedent for young officers. How
ever, considering the mental condl-
tion of Maj. Waller, so much of the
findings as declare the accused not
guilty of murder are approved. Lieut..
Day is censured because, though he
knew Maj. Walters condition, he did
not counsel delay. Instead, he sec
onded Maj. Waller's resolve and

Mont Pelee is split from peak to
