for Taking 100000 From Bank.


Hermann E. Haas, former assistant
paying teller of the Corn Exchange Bank
Of Chicago, arrived yesterday from Colon,
In charge OF Detective Corners Of the Pin
kerton agency. aboard the Panama Rail-
road steamship Finance. Haas disap-
peared about a year ago and the bank re-
ported about $4,000 missing. He fed to
Mexico leaving behind him a wife and
baby.
He was arrested in Mexico and locked
up but he got away, it is said by liberal
use OF some OF the banks money. The
Pinkertons finally located him in Colon.
When he was arrested he had a satchel
containing $500, a part Of which he spent
employing lawyers to fight his extradi-
ton. They declared that as the extra
dition treaty between the United States
and Panama had not been ratified. Haas
could not be extradted. Panama then
decided to surrender Haas as IAN act of
courtesy to the American Minister"
He was taken to Chicago.

Chang able

according to reliable dictionary, means capable of change, giddy, ins consistent, fickleness, alterable; in fact it means to do something con trary to what you intended. That's just what the trolley company did on East Main street; they intended not to. tread on lanybody's toes, but they did and they had to change their doings. Then, again, they started to lay the tracks on Baldwin street. but they only did it half way; they simply changed their mind. Well, the public doesn't mind little thing like that, but if ward "heeler' goes to a convention and changes his mind and votes just the opposite to the way he first intend- ed. then the public will raise .hol- ]. ler;;'' they'll say he is "galdarn" this, that and the other, never think ing for moment that the poor fellow has a conscience and that he is acting according to what he thinks is right. But such is politics; you can't suit both sides, no matter how hard you may try. Nevertheless you can have 4 the brains to do the right thing first off if you wish to. Now, the best way to educate the brain is to partake of good brain tonic three times per day For instance, drink some of our delicious fresh roasted Coffee in the morning and some Of our new season, nice tasting, warranted good quality Tea at noon and every evening, and when you eat bread be sure and have good Butter with t.

street. as far as German street. there 10
no building left save the Corn and
Flour Exchange, at the corner of Ger
man street. That building whose walls
tower above the ecrumbling debris Of what
were adjoining structures. was gutted
and the standing walls formed caul-
dron, the flames of which burst at
times through the windows, but caused
no further damage. In numerous 9th
er wrecked buildings the flames played
about the debris and threatened to
weaken the foundations of the few
walls that were left.
Like grim tower in the ruins stand
the walls of the fifteen-story Continent
al Trust Company building. The walls OF
the Baltimore & Ohio building are also
standing, but the Pennsylvania rail-
road building, directly across Calvert
street, is razed. Only remnants of one
wall are left at what was the National
hotel at Holiday and Fayette streets.
No buildings are left standing as far
as the eye can see down Baltimore
street from this point. All along South
Gay street there Is the same picture oil
destruction. A broken sign and tot
tering front wall show where the Mary
land w. c. T. U. building once stood.
Adjoining this was the building oc-
cupicd by the Iron Ship'Company and
by the British consulate, whose build
ing is n complete loss. The building
used by the German consulate, on this
square. is also in ruins. The costly
United States custom house, in course
of construction, and occupying the tri-
angular block between Lombard and
Water streets and Exchange place, is
said to be ruined. The marble blocks
are badly damaged, the cornices on the
north side are destroyed, and the mar

not every girl knows that her breeding

Cheap flnery only betrays poverty,

upon the quality of our makeup which

In the compass of every voice there
the three registers-the middle or

able, but the voice should be trained
to slide I'M and down yarying with the

clines toward seriousness, and higher
when 1t becomes tinged with excite

Baltimore. Feb. 9.-When darkness
fell last night the people of this strick-
en- city knew the worst was over.
The flames which for more than
twenty-four hours had swept resistless-
ly through the heart of the city were
checked. An army of firemen from
many cities, working unwearledly, and
aided by muddy little stream, finally
conquered.

for the police and military who guard

only the day before represented values
to the extent of from $75.OO0,0O0 to
$l25,000,000. Not even close approx

at so great figure. So far there has
been no systematic attempt to fix the
values that were represented in the
district, in that which is to-day de-
