TACOMA Street CAR HELDUP
THUGS GATHER IN 500 IN CASH
AND VALUABLE WATCHES.
Conductor Tried to Escape, but Shots
From Gun of Robber Brought Him
Back-Robbery Occurred Same
Place Previous Holdups-Three
Thugs Escape.

Tacoma, Wash, July THE third
holdup within five days was success
fully made on an inbound South Ia
coma streetcar early in the morning,
the carmen and four passengers being
compelled to hold their hands up while
the highwaymen relieved them Of more
than 500 in cash and three valuable
watches.
The holdup was completed only af-
ter a lively chase by one Of the foot
pads after Conductor c. N. Archer and
the firing of two shots at the fleeing
carman. The attack occurred on the
exact spot where the holdup was. per
petrated by three men, apparently the
same three, about five weeks ago-at
the safety switch just across the long
South Tacoma avenue bridge, and in
the full glare of the electric lamp sus-
pended just above that crossing.
When the car stopped for the
switch three men jumped on and, with
drawn revolvers, ordered the motor
man to throw up his hands. At the
same instant Conductor Archer heard
the order in front, and, springing back
across the platform, started on dash
across the Tacoma avenue bridge with
one of the robbers in close pursuit.
The pursuing robber commanded him
to.halt and enforced his command with
two revolver shots, one of the bullets
being distinctly heard by Conductor
Archer as it whizzed past.
AS the highwayman was gaining and
shooting at the same time, there was
nothing for the conductor to do but
surrender, though he had made about
two thirds the distance across the
long bridge. He was searched on the
spot, and the days receipts, amount
ing to $4615, and 81 of his own money
and a gold watch costing $50 were
taken from him. He was then marched
back and placed inside the car with
the other victim.
After the cleanup" the robbers
made the motorman take his place,
and left the car, telling the carmen to
light out for town.

FOUGHT WITH PISTOLS.
One Is Dead and Three Fatally In
jured.

Steelville, Mo-, July 5.-One dead
and three perhaps fatally injured is
the result of a duel with revolvers
which took place here between Sheriff
W. r. Taft of Crawford county, his
deputy, Perry Ives; City Marshal John
Woods and Robert Starks, a farmer,
and his son, Hirschel, aged 23 Rob-
ert STARTS was shot through the heart,
death resulting instantly; w. r. Taft,
the sheriff, was shot through the stOm-
ach and will die; Hirschel Stark was
fatally shot and Perry Ives, deputy
sheriff, was shot in the mouth and
leg His condition is dangerous.
The trouble originated in the re
fusal of young Starks to submit tC
arrest. He was charged with having
offended the daughter of Benjamin
Ogles, a wealthy farmer, who filed
complaint against him. When Sheriff
Taft appeared, Starks warned hin
away, saying there would be trouble
if he attempted to take him into Gus
tory.

TREATY SIGNED.
Naval and Coaling Stations of Island
of Cuba.

Naval and Coaling Stations of Island
of Cuba.
Havana, July 5.-The treaty cover
ing the naval and coaling stations and
the treaty placing the Isle of Pines I'M
der Cuban sovereignty has been
signed
The two treaties which are the last
of the six between the United States
and Cuba, were subscribed in dupli-
cate at the secretary of states office.
The signers were Minister Squiers,
Senior Garcia Montez, secretary of the
treasury and acting secretary Of state
in Senior ZaldO's absence. The others
present were Senior Bevia, assistant
secretary of state; Senior Diego, chief
of the department of justice, the lega-
ton secretaries and Minister Squiers'
eldest son.
The Isle of Pines treaty was signed
last. While turning over the island to
the absolute sovereignty of Cuba, the
treaty safeguards the rights and privi-
leges of the American residents on the
island as though they were on Ameri-
can territory. Property. judicial and
educational rights are especially guar
anteed, as well as the conveniences
for reference to the registration of
property and other building business.
1t is pointed out that the American
landholders are better off in respect
to taxation than they would be under
United States sovereignty.
There was no difficulty or delay in
reaching an agreement upon the sub
ject of the Isle of Pines treaty but the
naval stations lease was the subject
of long and tedious negotiations.
President Palma and Minister
Squiers could easily have reached an
agreement, but the president consulted
numerous senators, congressman and
others, whose opinions carried consid-
cradle weight, with the result that
many suggestions were made and
some minor misunderstanding fol
lowed. The question of smuggling was
especially slow in settlement, the Gu
ban proposals being so exacting as tc
be impracticable
The possession Of the naval and
coaling stations will be perpetual, the
rental price being purely nominal and
based on the question of acquiring
sites and stations by the Cuban gov
eminent, the United States advancing
any money for the purchase of private
lands at Guantanamo and Bahia.

KILLED BY ELECTRIC WIRE.
Four Persons of Pittsburg Killed in
Peculiar Manner.

Pittsburg. July 5.-During the pro-
gress. Of a terrific rain storm here four
persons were killed in an accident of a
most unusual character. The dead:
John Visa, aged 40 years; Giuseppe
Renda, aged q years; Mrs. Francesca
Statti, aged "a; Giuseppe Statti, her
son. aged %.
A large American flag suspended
from a grocery store became soaked
with rain and the high wind blew it
against an electric light wire, which
was carrying 1000 volts. The wire
snapped under the pressure and fell
into the street, one end lodging in a
pool of water and charging it. John
Visa, running for shelter, stepped
into the pool of water and fell dead.
Shortly after this the Statti family,
numbering seven persons, drove by.
The driver was hurrying to reach a
place of shelter and as he approached
the broken wire hundreds of people
tried to warn him of the danger, but
could not make him understand until
too late One of the horses stepped
into the pool and fell paralyzed. The
occupants of the surrey Immediately
began to jump and the four who leaped
from the side opposite the wire es-
capped injury. But the three on the
other side in their excitement fell
onto the wire and were shocked to
death almost instantly. None of the
large crowd who witnessed the acct
dent could approach the victims until
the current was shut off from the wire
and for some time they lay in the
street unattended.

NEW CURE FOR CANCER.
Medical Circles of Vienna Much In
terested.

Medical circles at Vienna are great
ly interested in the report, cOmmuni-
Gated to Viennese Society of Physi-
clans and read at a recent meeting of
the imperial academy of science, to
the effect that a long standing case
of cancer was cured by radium rays
at the clinic of the late Professor Gus
senbauer. The patient, who was 81
years of age, had long suffered from
cancer of the palate and lip and had
repeatedly been operated upon fruit
lessly. In the autumn of 1902, when
the physicians of the Viennese hOspi-
tai declared that it was absolutely
useless to operate again, one physi-
clan determined, as a last resort to
try radium rays, and treated the af-
flicted parts by exposing them to the
light of radium bromide, the strong
est radium preparation in existence
He was rewarded by a gradual and
complete disappearance of the tumors
Physicians at the same meeting re
ported that radium rays had cured a

"But the masses who are produ-
GERS will gradually become poor
and finally impovished through the
balance of trade, which will ever
be against them" says the real
estate dealer to a body of intelli-
gent and prosperous farmers. A
sufficient answer to this statement
is the fact that not only Texas,
but the entire nation is rapidly
growing in wealth, because OF the
balance of trade in their favor, and
that the more farmers we have the
more wealth is produced and the
more prosperous these farmers be-
come. God bless the farmers, and
may their numbers increase.

POPE'S WARDROBE

WORLD.
Vestmeuts, Slippers and Jewels
Fill Three Rooms in Vatican
Special Flocks of Sheep for
Gloves.
Few rulers are surrounded with
more ceremony and magniticence
than the princes of tho church.
As for the Pope himself etiquette
and tradition imposed on him q
sumptuous magni6cence, and the
wardrobe of Leo XIII is the larg-
est and most costly the world has
to show, says the Chicago Chroni-
Gle.
Three large rooms in the Vati-
can are given over to it and many
servants are constantly at work
keeping the vestments in order.
There are garments set aside for
each day in the year, varying in
color, weight and value according
to the occasion and the season.
In Lent the pspsl rsiment from
shoes to cap is scarlet The Eas-
ter season calls for white. Other
holy days demand other colors.
Every item of each costume is
the finest and richest of its kind.
The surplices worn at audiences
are of priceless old lace. Nowhere
in Europe is there more valua-
BILE and interesting collection, of
lace.
The slippers of the Pope are le-
gion and each pair is of the finest
velvet. The right slipper, which
is kissed by pilgrims and other
pious visitors, bears a cross in gold
embroidery, while on the left are
embroidered the Great, keys, tiara
and psllium which make up the
Great of the Roman church.
But the slippers fade into in.
significance before the value of the
innumerable pairs of gloves.
These gloves are of finest white
wool. The wool is embroidered in
costly pearls.
The material for tho gloves, as
for all WOODEN garments worn by
the Pope, is made from the fleece
of special flock of sheep dedica-
ted to this purpose and owned by
q family that has since-the middle
of the sixteenth century enjoyed
the privilege.
From this herd of fifty sheep q
number of lambs are set aside
each year. On Jan. q these
lambs are taken to the Pope and
in an impressive ceremony receive
the papal blessing. After that
they are kept for year at a con-
vent near Rome and are cared for
in the most elaborate and puncti-
lious fashion.
The year being passed, the
lamps are shorn and the nuns
weave the fleece into pailiums for
the Pope. The pallium, a long
strip of white wool. adorned only
by gold cross at each end. is the
most sacred of prisstly vestments
and is worn around the neck and
body, the ends falling over the
left shoulder.
Many of the papal vestments are
set with rich jewels and stiff with
gold and silver, but these gorge
GUS garments are seldom worn
since the Vatican lost it's temporal
power and the Pope has given up
grand public ceremonies. One of
