Steal Silver Dinner Service from Car
for Midnight Feast-Escape
Police Raid.

Chester, Pa.-According to the state
ment of railroad man who lives In
this city and was an eyewitness of the
affair, tramps and yeggmen who fre-
quent the line of the Philadelphia Bal
time a. Washington railroad between
Philadelphia and Baltimore held o
royal banquet with silver sets valued
at 100000
Solid silver was handled by the
adsters and outcasts as il it We're
nothing more than ordinary tinpla.c
and the story of the night dinner rivals
that of the Millionaire club.
The scene OF the midnight feast was
in a grove near Perryville. A freight
car had been broken open and some
rare art gems in solid silver, consigned
by New York house to parties in
Washington, were stolen and carried
to the grove.
Foraging parties were sent out by
the nomads and soon silver chafing
dishes were used for frying chickens
and gold-lined goblets were utilized for
quaffing the foaming beer.
In the height of the frolic police and
detectives swooped down on the merry
makers and made one or two arrests,
but the majority of the Weary VIII

How saloon Men "obex.r ~

Small notice is taken of the fact that
the new police captain OF the central pre-
cinct has evidenced his intention of con-
tinuing THE POLICY OF FORCING
THE SALOONS TO CLOSE AT THE
LEGAL HOjR.-Dctroit Free Press.
Here is the whole liquor question In
nutshell. The only time the saloon
obeys the law is when 1t Is forced to.
1t is n lawbreaker by nature and
never will voluntarily respect any stat
ute municipal. state or national With
an honest. God fearing official in CON-
mand. backed by an honest, God fear
ing party. Prohibition can be just as
easily enforced as any license substi.
tute that was ever devised.

DOES PROHIBITION PROHIBIT?

Law That WOrka.

Especial Correspondence.1
Leavenworth, Kan. Out OF 1900
prisoners confined in the United States
pcnitentiary here over 400 are liquor
outlaws caught by Uncle Sans officers
while trying to break the Prohibition
law Of Indian Territory. There could
be no stronger proof Of the fact that
Prohibition prohibits when it has off,
cials back Of 1t who intend to enforce
It. The Oklahoma State Capital in a
recent issue says:
These 100 prisoners are from Indian
Territory and the small Indian reserva-
tions In Kanses and have been "sent up
Tor selling whisky to Indians 1t js a
business 70 profitable that unusual risks
are willingly run by the ingenious tribe
that has descended from the simple old
spugsicr who showed the bottle from
which he had Just sold mouthful Of
whisky into the haring leg of his boot
and thought himself as sly as a fox. The
latter vender OF contraband liquid re-
freshment developed the bootlegging idea
In tho same way that Watt developed the
steam engine, but whisky hunting depu-
ties also grew in wisdom: they learned to
look beyond the boot leg to wagon axle
the OK bow and the horse collar. A whis-
ky peddlers active business life is Just
about as brief now as 1t was in the early
seventies. when Judge Parker of Fort
Smith first sent his marshals into tho
Indian Territory.
The fact that this strict enforcement
is kept up in spite of the Gordon of H.
cense states which surround Indian
Territory emphasizes the success of
the law
The 400 imprisoned outlaws are so
many agents Of banished business
which cares nothing for law and defies
public sentiment anywhere and every
where in order to snare new victims
and fatten its bloody purse.

able New Workers began to drop the
glace white kid glove and take up suede
ones in gray and black.
Unless they wore light gown they
seemed to prefer soft black gloves

white kid glove and has gore back to an
early love, which is the mousquetaire

noon and evenings for luncheons, card
parties, driving ana all social occasions
as much as they are abroad, but the
fashion is gaining popularity every day
With it, of course. comes the long
wrinkled glove. 1t is probable we shall
see it installed here by spring. The
fashionable length lis half way to elbow
and is adjusted to- harmonic with the
length of the sleeve. When close cuff
is worn, headed by deep ruffies just be-
low the elbow, the=suede glove is pulled

And never carried guns,
Who never rushed through smoke and name
To rescue helpless ones.
In giving out your medals to
The heroes who are brave,
@ Andrew. don't forget the man
Who liberates his slave.
Though they deserve the pubilc's pl alse'
And merit love anG fame,
Who hammer down their countrys foes
And save the land from shame,
Great Andrew, Cd not fail to set
Aside rewards for them

Close up at / p. n.
TITS fine to be heroic when
A ship is in distress
To rescue shrieking maidens and
Exhibit fearlessness;
He's brave who stops a runaway
Within the crowded street,
He's brave who drags the helpless from
Beneath the cruel feet.
But these are not the only ones
Though glorious they be.
Who should have medals on their breasts
For all the world to see.
When al lof us, at last are called
To answer over there
Where they that have deserved shall win
Tntarnished crowns to wear.
When each and all. or high Or low,
Must stand before the Lord
And every meritorious one
Shall gain a just reward.

Indian Languag es.

The first essential step in the work
of the bureau of ethnology was a
classification of the American Indian
tribes into groups allied by language.
It was found that within the area with
which the nation has to deal there
are spoken some 500 different Lam
guages as distinct from each other
as French is from English, and that
these languages can be grouped in
some so or so families. 1t was
found, further, that In connection
with the differences in languages, are
many other distinctions requiring at
tention. Tribes allied in language are
often allied also in capacity, habits,
tastes, social organization, religion,
and arts and industries.
