Worse yet, it was the thirteenth day
of the month. A knock was heard at
the kitchen door of the Burns man
sion. The Chinese servant opened the
door. A tramp of long and varied ex-
perience accosted him:

in mighty hard luck" observed the
tramp. Il lost all of my money, and
now I'm hungry-very, very hungry.
Can't you please give me little bite
of something to eat?"
The Chinaman comprehended the sit
uation at once. A benevolent, placid
smile spread itself over his entire
cOuntenance.

tramp.

GREAT PUBLIC SERVICE.

While The Citizen holds that it is
the duty of a newspaper to record the
news, and not to manufacture it in
order to have something to record, we
recognize the existence of cases when
the newspaper man not only may but
should advance his professional in
terests as an incident to performing a
public service as a citizen.
A notable opportunity to do this was
very adroitly utilized recently by Mr..
Frank r. ONeil, a reporter on the
staff of the St Louis Post Dispatch.
After J. K. Murrell, the man who
handled the money for the St Louis
aldermen, and the man upon whose
absence and silence their safety in
great measure depended, had been in
the City of Mexico for five months. Mr..
O'Neil went there for the purpose OF
persuading him to return and tell what
he knew. Oral argument having ac-
complished nothing. Mr.. O'Neill sat
down and wrote to Murrell long let
ter, in which he balanced with equal
frankness and skill the low reasons
why the fugitive should remain where
he was and the higher ones why he
should go back to ST. Louis, confess his
own part in the transactions that had
disgraced the city, and bring to pun
ishment the scoundrels whose tool and
accomplice he had been.
There was much to be said on both
sides, and Mr.. O'Neil said it all. He
admitted that Murrell was safe where
he was and that a return involved
some danger and much denunciation as
traitor; but he showed also that the
alternative was life of wretched ex.
| lie, and that while thieves and bribe.
givers would hate him for betrayinf
them, his one chance of redeeming his
past lay in doing what he could Il
bring the guilty to punishment.

Urban gevity.

That the country is the place to ac-
quire and preserve health is theory
that has been exploded by the United
States census statistics. We have here,
tofore been advised to go to the hills
and wales, the field and woodland, the
lake and river where there is an unin-
terrupted prospect and the air of heay-
en- has a free sweep, but now this ad-
vice must be changed and the pent up
cities recommended for health, if the
census authorities are right.
According to the official figures the
.ity has a decided advantage over the
rural districts in the matter of human
longevity. The average age reached in
the cities is 38.2 years and in the coun-
try 81. There the urban has an ad-
vantage of II years over the suburban.
The advantage of pure air in the coun-
try is apparently more than offset by
sanitary and food advantages in the

Mr.. O'Nei1, the reporter who per-
formed this great public service, was
for a number of years connected with
the old Missouri Republican, now the
st. Louis Republic Mr. O'Neil and the
editor of The Citizen held adjacent
desks in the St. Louis Republic ofhAe
for many moons. Mr.. ONeil was the
managing editor of the Missouri Re-
publican when the present editor of
The Citizen first took service on that
paper. 1t is one of the very agreeable
feelings of the editor of The Citizen
that he was called into the service of
the ST. Louis Republic by Frank
O'Neil. He is a great and an honest
man, and the ST. Louis Republic is a
great and an honest newspaper.

OUR POLICE DUTY.

American warships are now bus:ly
engaged in doing police duty They
are guarding the interests of Uncle
Sam in Venezuelan waters, in the ports
of Hayti and in the isthmus of Pana-
ma. In all of these countries revolu-
tions are in progress. In Venezuela,
up to a few days ago, the insurgents
seemed to be on top. Since then,
however, President Castro has sent a
dispatch (indated) to his consul
general in New York, announcing
that he Las wiped up the earth with
his enemies. II is suspected, however,
that the Venezuelan executive has ex-
agpe, ated the Importance of some little
victory lie has won over the ''insur
gents" and that the latter still have
the best of the fight.
In Colombia the revolutionists have
beaten the government forces to a
standstill The situation there is re-
garded as so alarming that our Navy
Department has ordered several ships
the isthmus of Panama, to reinforce
the warships now stationed at that
point. American interests in the
isthmus have become of great import
tnce there since Congress authorized
the purchase of the French company's
interoceanic canal property and the
completion of the project. Moreover,
this government is under obligations
by treaty with Colombia to maintain
free transit on the isthmus, for the
purpose of preventing interference
with traffic.
In Hayti the provisional government
has proclaimed a blockade of the ports
of the island. The revolutionist gov
ernment had previously proclaimed a
blockade of these ports, but THE United
States government refused to recognize
it, while the German cruiser Panther
destroyed the revolutionists' navy and
made a blockade impossible.
1t is now announced from Washing
ton that the right of the provisional
government of Hayti to proclaim
blockade will not be recognized. Of
course European governments will
follow the example of Uncle Sam
whose Monroe doctrine entities him 20
set the fashion in such matters on
this continent. The situation in South
America and in Hayti has led some CT
our expansionist contemporaries to re-
new the suggestion of active inter-
ference by the United States in the
affairs of the Latin-American states
While the suggestion is not likely to be
acted upon Immediately in an aggres-
sive way. the conditions prevailing in
some of the I1atin-American states may
lead to interesting and possibly ex-
citing developments in the near future,
with Uncle Sam playing conspicuous
part as a peace-maker by force and
arms.
The fact is, we are playing police
man too much We ought to keep out
of the affairs of our neighbors, or boss
the job entirely.

A Missouri paper gives an account
of an amusing little tragedy" which
it claims occurred in its town. A man
and his wife were riding home on a
street car. He was reading his paper,
when another lady got on. The car
was crowded, and without glancing up
he arose and gave her his seat, receiv-
ing q gracious smile in payment. The
mans wife Immediately got up, gave
the bellrope hard jerk and invited
her husband to get off. When he
looked around to learn the cause of her
anger, he discovered that the woman
to whom he had given his seat was his
first wife, whom he had divorced two
years before. They walked the rest
of the way home, and he is still ex-

Effect of Fruit ON the stomach.

The malic acid Of ripe apples. either
raw or cooked, will neutralize any eX-
cess of chalky matter engendered by
eating too much meat. 1t it also the
fact that such fresh fruits as the apple,
the pear and the plum, when taken
ripe and without sugar. diminish acid
ity in the stomach rather than provoke
it. Their vegetable sauces and juices
are converted into alkaline carbonates,
which tend to counteract acidity.

TUCSON GOVERNMENT.

The action of the Tucson city coun-
Gil last night makes it almost impos-
sible for one to retain any respect for
the municipal government as at pres
ent constituted.
The people who pay their good
money with great regularity to main
tain government in this town must be
excused If they insist that they want
their moneys worth. They are not
getting it. Nor are they getting re-
spectful treatment from their servants.
The performance last night was dis
gracefully cowardly where it was not
meant to be ludicrous. Masters not
infrequently permit their servants to
be funny but servants under any con-
fitions are expected to be respectful if
they wish to retain their jobs. The
monkey performance of the municipal
legislators last night was funny, and
we could appreciate it if we were pay
ing the monkeys for being funny. But
we weren't doing this. We are pay
ing these fellows to do what we order
them, and not to make a spectacular
entertainment for us.
A man of the name of Russell said
he would pay the expense of an election
that is admitted in advance to be a
mockery. What the devil is Russell?
Who asked him to bear our municipal
burdens? Who indicated to him that
the owners of Tucson could not do
what they deemed necessary without
borrowing from their hired man? Ii
Russell thinks that he can hold job
with corporation holding munici-
pal charter by attempting to humbug
the people, we fear he is mistaken.
The men behind corporations are
sometimes as human as the mere peo-
lie me runs across in the streets.
We admit surprise and astonishment
at the conduct of Russell. We ex-
pected better things of him. We had
been informed that he had an ambi-
tion for promotion in the politics OF
the municipality. But NO man who
mocks his master can hope for an adj
vancement Russell has tried to hum
bug Tucson. 1t is the duty of Tucson
to dispense with him at the first oppor-
tunity.
The attitude assumed by the mayor
who ought to be the guardian and
conseryator of municipal dignity as
well as municipal interest, it is
difficult to characterize in language
that would sound parliamentary in
print. He has been studiously con
temptuous of his masters during the
discussion of the high license question
He has Extensively spurned the well
known desires of the common sense
the common prudence and the public
decency of the town.
The election, of course, will be {
mockery and a sham. That is wha
it's inventors intended. There wa:
not moral courage enough in the city
council to face the issue squarely

ROBBERS GOT NOTHING
Robbery Of Burlington Train i'll Mis-
souri, Proves Improbable Task
for the Robbers.
Four Bandits Gain an Entrance to the
Express Car but Find Nothing
of Value.
Train Allowed to Proceed After Delay
of Half an Hour, and Shots
are Exchanged.

~ 81. Joseph, NIL, ApI1l o. / lciA ASo.
13 on the Burlington road, which left
st. Joseph for the north at 1l:40 p. M,
was held up three miles north of the
city limits by four masked men. The
railroads officials assert that the rob
bers got nothing, though on this point
reports differ. The scene is very near
the place where, on the night of Sept.
"a, 1893, four young men of this city
made futile attempt to rob Bur-
lington train, two of the party being
shot down. On that occasion the rail
road authorities, under the leadership
of w. c. Brown, then general manager
of the Burlington's Missouri lines, run
a dummy train loaded with policemen
and deputy sheriffs, and the robbers
having been tipped off by treacher-
GUS confederate.
The robbers gained an entrance to
the express car by compelling the en-
gineer to call to the express messenger
and by threats of blowing the door
open with dynamite. Ten shots were
fired, one at Conductor Cox and sew
eral at Brakeman Gaut, but none took
effect.
Conductor Cox and Engineer Hust,
in charge of the train, ran from the
scene of the holdup to Napier, and
from there reported to the general Of
fcers in this city. A dozen detectives
were at once dispatched, but thus far
no tangible clew has been found.
- Description of the Leader.
The leaders of the robbers is de-
scribed by the trainmen as being about
35 years old, S feet 10 inches tall,
weight 100, pounds, voice loud and
clear. He wore long mask of cloth
| covering his face from the forehead
he gave orders to the trainmen OF to
could be heard distinctly.
| The following official report of the
affair has been sent to headquarters at
st. Louis:
burlington train No. 13, which left
St. Joseph for the west at 40 p. NJ,
April 8, was stopped at 11:55 p. M, one
mile north of the waterworks and just
outside of the city of st. Joseph, by
four masked men, who compelled the
engineer and fireman to attempt to
cut off the baggage car. The attempt
to uncouple the baggage car was un-
successful, thereupon the baggageman
was ordered to open the door. This
was done. The interior of the car was
looked over, no valuables of any de-
scription were discovered, whereupon
the engineer was ordered to go on with
his train, which had been delayed 80
minutes. There was no violence used.
No passengers were disturbed and no
railway or express property taken.
Burlington officials at St. Joseph
were Immediately notified and were
on the ground shortly after, commenc.
ing an investigation of the affair.""
