THE PLOT FAILED.
Providentia| Escape of the Davis
Family at Bangor.
Dynamite Placed in Cellar, but Fuse
Refused Its Duty.
Another Attempt to Murder Patrolman
Davis and Family.

Bangor, Me-, March 22.-An attempt
was made at 2 o'clock, this morning,
to wreck the house of Patrolman
Thomas A. Davis, in which five per-
sons were sleeping, by a heavy explo-
sion of dynamite. Hay the plan sue
ceeded. the house must have been
blown to atoms and it's occupants kill
ed. as the charge was sufficient to de-
stroy a neighborhood. Fortunately,
though q bungling in the connecting of
the fuse with the cartridges, only one
cap exploded and no damage was done.
The dynamite was lowered in a pail
to the cellar floor through window in
the cellar which had been removed.
Patrolman Davis and his wife, Miss
Grace and Miss Gertrude Davis, and
on the second floor.
Three years ago an attempt was
made to burn the Davis house and Pa
trOlman Davis narrowly escaped. His
family were at the seashore at the
time. Since then he has had windows
broken and his house has been other
wise defaced. Although the police are
eideavoring to find the guilty persons,
they nave been unable as yet to find
any valuable clue.
The city is highly excited, as this is
the third sensation that has occurred
during Saturday nights for three sue
cessive weeks. The first was the muir
der of Patrolman Patrick II. Jordan,
and the second was the mysterious
shooting of VIM. A. Deering.

Caracas. March 22-President Cas-
tro, after reading the Presidential mes
sage, Saturday, placed his resignation
or the Presidency of the republic of
Venezuela Ill the hands of the Presi-
dent of Congress.
In the ordinary course of events
President Castro's term would have

President of Venezuela in February,
1907, for six years. He had been elect
ed provisional President of Venezuela,

that date, had proclaimed himself
President, and the United States gov
eminent. in November, 1899, had Off

ment headed by him. The action OF
the constituent assembly legalized his

powers of a Presidential ruler to the
limit of its authority. Up to that time,
while being generally recognized as
President of Venezuela, he had In real
ity been simply dictator of the republic.
A year later. as already stated the
Venezuelan Congress ratified his cleo
ton.

The Silent Citadel.

TO reach the castle which stands in
the ella desert region of southern Ari-
iona, there needs be a stage ride of
some twentytour miles, straight
across the desert from the station of
Casa Grande; but for eight, yes nine
months in the year, that ride is a iov
to remember ever after. It is the
region, the charms of which Van DYKE
sings in exquisite cadences-sthe land
OF splintered peaks, torn valleys and
hot skies yet, sswho shall paint the
splendor OF its light; and from the ris-
ing up of the sun to the going down of
the moon oyer the iron mountains.
the glory of its wonderous coloring!"
Starting in all TIE charming fresh
ness OF May morning, we followed
the old Silver King Mine route, passing
human being en- route. save one lone
Mexican ''freighter.' Fifteen miles
out we came to prehistoric artificial
lake, now known as Dry Lake: it's
cement banks from ten 10 fifteen feet
IN height IN many places, still in per-
fecI preservation. The stage road
leads straight across this ancient
reservoir. Not far from here the
