The lesson of a Crime.

According TO the New York Com
mercial, since the world famous rob-
berry of the Manhattan Savings Insti-
tuition in 1878, only three of the thirty
$4,000 government bonds included in
the loot have come to light: For trying
to negotiate two of them in PhiIadel-
phia a notorious sneak thief was sent
to the penitentiary in 1881 and died
there; two days ago-almost twenty
seven years after the burgIary-three
respectable and ostensibly honest men
We're put under arrest in New York
charged with completely in negotiating
another of these bonds, while the po-
lice are looking for fourth man whose
innocence in the affair does not appear
so probable.
The circumstance is a once interest
ing and instructive as bringing three
things forcibly into public notice: The
almost absolute efficacy of Iatter-day
safeguards against bank -robbery-for
a case like the Manhattans would be
impossible in these times; the perfect
scrutiny that United States treasury
officials exercise over the ''caveat'' lists
for, otherwise. a bond cancelled by
law nearly a third of a century ago
would have passed wholly out of Off
ciaI recollection in 1905; and finally.
the far-reaching influence and effect of
crimes in proportion to their size and
Importance. Had any man in 1878 pre-
dicted that Jimmy Hopes bank rob-
berry would in 1905 bring to the doors
of Jail four men, some of whom were
babes-in-ar at that time, he would
have been laughed down as a lunatic.
There are still twenty-seven bonds
in the Hope "caveat" list unaccounted
for-and who shall say that even now
every one of them is not q central OBJ

may wranele among themselves, and
they may be parties to feuds and fac

as a stone wall against any weakening

they are making the senate an over

The defendant then asks for affir-

THE DEATH OF MRS. WING
Wife OF Professor Wing of Stanton

Many friends and acquaintances OF
Mrs. Anna Paddock Wing, wife of
Professor c. B. Wing of Stanford uni
versity and aunt of Mrs Henry D.
Evans of Mesa City, will be panied to
hear of her death which occurred at
Ventura, California. January Both.
After spending two years in the val
ley here, part of the time in Phoenix
and then camping on the desert at
Scottsdale, she was enabled to return
to her home in PaIo Alto much i'm
proved in health. Last October dur
ing the diptheria outbreak st Paio Al
to, her entire family We're stricken and
the anxiety attendant upon the long
quarantine was too much for her linn
tied strength.
In hope that a change might be Of
benefit she left in early January for
Santa Barbara. but failing to improve
had started for home in the care of a
trained nurse when the end came sud
denly.
Mrs. Wing was woman of rare in
tellectual gifts, a phenomenally brave
spirit and wonderful force of character.
Her last words were of her boys, that
they might be good boys" Then she
prayed that she might be made
whole" and so praying, look of Won
derful peace and great happiness
spread over her tired features and she
fell on Sleep
She resteth now. No more her breast
Heaves with it's weary breath;
Pain sits no longer on the brow
Where lies the calm of death.
Sunk to her rest, like tired child
She lies in slumber deep,
Soft folded in the arms of Him
Who "giveth His beloved sleep"
Nay, doth she rest? No, day nor
night
She resteth not from praise;
Her spirit winged with rapture,
knows
No more earth's weary ways.
But ever toward the Infinite
Her flight ON, upward doth she keep;
For He gives active tirelessness
Who giveth His beloved Sleep"
