years; George lanes and his wife and
their son, Joseph lanes. Mrs. Refs
c%helderfer was known to be afraid to
trust her money to the banks. The
robbers first knocked down the elder
lanes and then bound him and the
two women with ropes and placed
hem in beds in separate rooms. Mean
while some of the robbers lay in wait
for Joseph, who was in town, and
when he returned they bound and
tied him in the kitchen. At the point
of a shotgun they made the little girl
tell where the money was to be found.
They secured $1,000 in cash and $1,000
worth OF notes and securities from a
chest upstairs, and proceeded to ran
sack the house from top to bottom,
looking for a secret door supposed to
be in the wall. They took possession
of all the jewelry and silverware and
secured a months wages from lanes
pockets. They b~lindfolded everybody,
but left the little girl free. After di-
viding the money in the cellar part of
them left at midnight while some of
them remained until two o'clock,
helping themselves to the wine and
cider in the cellar and to all the eata-
BILE they could find. They called the
members of the household by their
first names, and were evidently famil-
lar with the house.

The travellers had q magnificent
greeting. The quays were deliberately
decorated, the ships were dressed
rainbow fashion and rounds of cheer
ing and the blowing of whistles and
sirens greeted the liner Norman as
she passed up Southampton water
with Mr.. and Mrs. Chamberlain, ac,
companied by Lord Selborne, first
lord of the admiralty, standing on
the promenade deck.
The Reception Mt Southampton.
AS soon as the steamer was warped
to her dock Mr.. Chamberlain's fam
lily went on board the Norman. They
were shortly afterwards followed by
the mayor and corporation of South
alnpton, who welcomed the travellers
he mayors daughter then handed a
bouquet to Mrs. Chamberlain and a
procession was formed with the may
OF and Mrs. Chamberlain leading, and
Mr.. Chamberlain and the mayors
daughter coming after them, and
walked through cheering crowds to
the reception hall. Mr.. Chamberlain
was bronzed, but he looked very thin
and appeared to have aged considera-
bly,. He showed evident pleasure at
the heartiness of the welcome. The
party then entered carriages and
drove through the %thronged and dec.
GRATED streets to Hartley hall, the
scene of so many previous functions
connected with the South African
war.
An Address Of Welcome.
There an address of welcome
was presented to Mr.. Chamberlain,
who, in the course of his reply,
warned the country not to overesti-
mate the results he had actually
achieved. He was hopeful and even
confident that the Dutch of South At
RIGA would hereafter loyalty take
their place as members of the en-
pire to which they now belonged, but
it could not be expected that the long
record of vacillation and weakness
which led to the war would be wiped
out in the twinkling of an eye.

his party took a train to London.

Mrs. Chamberlain came in for a full
share of the welcome. Special cheers
were given for her and in the greet

ham, which went out to meet the

cially mentioned. Referring to this
in the course of the reply to the

sal frauds in connection with the or
ganization of various financial cor.
porations, was arrested here on the
arrival of the French line steamer La
Lorraine, from Havre. The arrest
was made by two central Office detec-
tives at the request of the London
police. Wright was taken to police
headquarters and later to the Tombs
police court, where he was arraigned
before a magistrate and turned over
to the United States authorities. He
was then taken to the Ludlow street
Jail.
With Wright on the steamship was
a tall, good-looking, young woman
who said she was the neice of the
prisoner. Her name was on the pas
senger list as Miss F. Browne. Wright,
when told that he was under arrest,
showed no evidence of excitement,
and said he was a friend of King Ed
ward. His principal concern was to
avoid publicity, and he asked that his
arrest be ltept from the newspapers.
Millions Lost in Crash.
The financial crash of the companies
fioated by Whitaker Wright came in
December, 1900. There were II of
these, including the parent company,
entitled the London and Globe Finance
Corporation, with q total capitaliza-
ton of $60,675, 900. Wright was the
managing director.
Few millionaires lived in the same
princely style as Whitaker Wright. In
Park Lane, London, he had a minia-
ture palace, in the drawing room of
which was a copy of the famous cabi-
net Du Roi of Louis XIV. 1t took three
years to complete and cost many
thousands of pounds. At Godalming
he owned a country seat, in beautify-
ing which 600 workmen were engaged.
1T contains costly fountains and
statuary brought from Italy. Wright's
stables alone cost a small fortune.
They have upholstered oak and leath-
er settles and polished gun metal fit
ings, while valuable paintings and bas
reliefs adorn the stalls. His private
yacht was fitted up with similar lux
uriousness.
Late Marquis n Victim.
One of the victims of the crash was
the late marquis of Dufferin and Ava,
formerly governor general of Canada
and British ambassador at Paris. He
consented to be chairman of the Lon
don and Globe, and had $4,000 shares
in the different companies. With Lord
Dutferin on board of directors were

colonel of the Fifth dragoon guards,

BARE FEET AND MICROBES.

So good an authority as the Lon
don, Times informs us that barefeet
are responsible for many Of the ills
that flesh is heir to, because germs
find lodgment between the toe nails
and the soft underlyi 1g flesh, and the
moving feet spreads them broadca t
through the land. Barefeet, washed
or unwashad, therefore are dangerous S
to the healtii o. community, and it
is quite probable that the time is not
far distant when the sanitary author
tiles will issue an edict prohibiting
the small boy from indulging in the
time honored privilege of going bare
footed during the summer season.
This will distress not only the small
boy, but his parents, who manage to
save considerable shoe money in the
balmy summer time by allowing their
cherished offspring to cast off his
shoes and jam his toes again t roots,
rocks and stumps.
There are thousands of us, grown
men today, who can fondly remember
the time our toes had marvellous fa
cility for colliding with almost
everything in sight, and how proud
we were to be able to show up more
sore toes than our playmates. In those
halycoD sdays boy who was not able
to produce at least one genuinely sore
toe was regarded as fit only t. play
with the little girls whose pantalettes
aiways had habit Of being a foot
longer than their frOcks. The boy
