NOVELTIES FOR THE HOME.

A desk clock which serves the pur-
pose of paper-weight is a novelty
for desk furniture.

the day is the colonial, made in ma
hogany with loaded glass doors.

shape is covered with pigskin and
decorated with hunting scene in
colors

show a deep border of large cluster
ing roses, connected by a ribbon in
lace effect.
A lovely set of dinnerware is of
white china with a plain border
edge of soft green, below which is
a garland border of pale pink wild
roses.
inexpensive vases of green Spanish
faience make admirable flower hold
ers for the summer table. These
vases come in decidedly artistic
shapes, too.
Rattan furniture stained strong
chrome yellow is one of the novel
ties in summer furnishings. This is
usually upholstered in yellow and
white cretonne.
Among the lovely cushions are
those of japanese design, made of
white silk and embroidered in gold
thread in the quaint and charming
designs SO typical of the fowery
kingdom.
Japanese temple gongs in the form
of round bells, shaped like one end
of a long, narrow watermelon, are
used for announcing meals. They
are of bronze, inlaid with copper, and
cost from SIS up to $50. More mod
ern gongs are made to set in frame
work of bamboo and stand upon the

AMBASSADOR WHITE RESIGNS.
Our Representative to Germany to
Quit His Post Early in
November.

Berlin, Aug. Ambassador White
mailed his resignation to the United
States several days ago. 1t is to take
effect early in November.
Mr.. Whites resignation may now be
in the hands of President Roosevelt.
The date set by the ambassador for
his resignation to go into effect was
November Z. He is now at Homburg,
where he is taking the waters and
where he probably will remain till the
end of the month. There is much Cos
sip at Berlin concerning Mr.. Whites
probable successor, and one circum-
stantial story is that the president in
tends to transfer Ambassador Tower
from ST. Petersburg to Berlin, Minis
ter Storer from Spain to be ambas-
sador to Russia, and to appoint Henry
White, now secretary of embassy at
London, as minister to Spain. Mr..
Tower, who has been satisfied with
ST. Petersburg, expressed months ago
a wish to be transferred to some other
equally desirable post, preferably Ber-
lin.
Washington, Aug. 6.-No informa-
ton has been received at the state
department indicating that Ambassa-
dor White had resigned, but the an
uouncement was not unexpected, as

SECURE A LARGE SUM
Limited Train on Burlington Road
Is Held Up.
Stopped by Masked Bandits Near Sa-
wanna, II.-Express Car Cut
Loose, Safe Blown Open and
and $4,000 Taken.

Savanna. ILL.,, Aug. 6.-The Chicago
Minneapolis limited express train on
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rail
road was held up, the express car dy
namited and $4,000 in the custody of
the Adams Express company made
away with at 1880 o'clock Tuesday
night. The scene of the robbery was
Marcus, a small flag station eight miles
from here. The engine and express car
were detached from the train and run
down the road a short distance, where
the robbers completed their work. 1t
is known that at least two men par
iticipated in the robbery. Both were
heavily masked and armed. 1t is not
known whether any of the train crew
or express messengers were injured
The information was brought to the
Burlington railroad yards by the flag
man of the limited who ran and
walked the eight miles from the lonely
spot where the train was held up by
the bandits.
A general alarm was given and all
the police officers and the sheriff and
his deputies located here, together
with all of the men in the railroad
yards, making in all party OF 80,
left at once on a special train for Mar
Gus. No word has been received from
them.
Dynamite Used.
The train was nearly eight miles out
of Savanna, in the lonely river bot
toms, when the engineer ran over a
number of torpedoes, such as are used
by track walkers to stop train when
there is a break in the track. The en-
gineer immediately applied the brakes
and brought the train to a stop. AShe
did so two masked men clambered up
on the engine. One of them covered
the engineer and fireman with revolv-
ers, ordering them to cut the express
car loose from the coaches. The en-
CINE and express car were then run
up the track a short distance, where
the bandits blew open the car with
dynamite. The safes were also blown
and everything of portable value was
piled into sacks and carried into the
woods by one of the robbers, the other
guarding the train men.
$4,000 TaI1eI
It is known that the money pack
ages on the express car usually con-
tain many thousands of dollars, and
the booty is consequently estimated
at $4,000.
The place where the robbery oc-
Cured is an ideal spot for train rob-
bers. At that point the tracks of the
Burlington and the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & ST. Paul road are but a mile
apart. There are several avenues of
escape leading from the flag station
at Marcus to the right of way of the
ST. Paul company.
