RELIEVED OF WATCH
Rock Island Switchman Held Up at
the Point of n Re
VoIVcr.

James L. Cuisine, the well knowIi
switchman on the Rock Island road,
early this morning notified the police
that he had been held up and robbed
about 1 o'clock this morning while
engaged at his regular duties at the
coal chute i'm the Rock Island yards
in this city.
He was able to give fair descrip-
ton of the two men who "braced"
him. They appeared to be hoboes of
the type common about the yards.
One of the fellows poked Il revolver
under the nose of the railroad man
and the other went through his
clothes. The fellow with the gun
wore Il mask.
They secured II watch. which, al
though provided with silNerine case,
was fitted with expensive Waltham
works and was worth about SD. The
police have been unable to find the
pair Mr.. Gustine describes and it is
supposed they caught a train out of
the city.

Whcn she was about thirteen years
old her parents moved to New York,
where they obtained engagements,
and where Miss Allen continued her
schooling. When she was fifteen her
debut ON the stage was made. Her
father was Il member of the company
which was playing Esmcralda" at

King Leopold is not generally regarded as q
perfectly lovely character and yet the recent at
tempt upon his life by an avowed anarchist comes
startling reminder OF the fact that this brood
CT vipers continues to exist a constant menace to
law and order, and melancholy reminders Of
tragic chapters in the history Of the past. The
fury with which the populace sought to obtain pos
session of the would-be assassin OF the king is
evidence that whatever his frailites and shortcom-
ings may be- he is still popular with his people.
What to do with the anarchist is still a problem
before which governments, powerful as they pre-
tend to be appear to stand helpless
