BOLD WORK BY CRACKSMAN.
Wstehmau Gagged and Bound aud Safe
Dynamlted.

Perth Amboy, N. J. (SpccaD.-Four
masked men entered the Office of the
Amboy division of the Public Service
Corporation here, bound and gagged the
watchman, blew up the safe and got
away with more than $500
The robbery was the most daring the
vicinity has known in years, and, while
it is now believed that it was the work
of expert cracksmen, the police have not
succeeded in catching the robbers. The
watchman was at work in the office OF
the car barns, when the four masked
men seized him and tied big cloth bag
over his head. They then tied his hands
and carried him into the car barns. The
watchman was almost sutfocated, and ap-
pcaled to the men to give him chance
to breathe, declaring that he was mar
ried man and was useful to his family.
The buglars, therefore, cut breathing
hole in the bag.
They then blew open the safe and de
molshed the Office A policeman who
came to investigate the noise saw four
men running away, but did not capture
any of them.

IS NOT ANTI-AMERICAN
Taft Cables Roosevelt As to Toxic
Riots.
SAYS POLICE CAUSED THE TROUBLE.
Explains the Origin aud Effect OF Recent
Violent Demonstrations and Says tho
japanese Government Is Anxious to Con-
tiuue the Frleudly Relations With United
States.

Oyster Bay, l.. |. Especially .-Secre-
tary Taft in cablegram from Toxic
has conveyed to the President the assur-
ances of the Japanese government, given
to him personally, that the recent riots
in Japan were not anti-Amerlcan dem
onstrations. Secretary Taft says the
rioting has subsidized, and that the mem
bers of his party have not been subjected
to the least indignity. He expresses
confidence that the friendship of Japan
for America is abiding. Following is
the text of Secretary Taft'S dispatch,
which was made public by direction OF
the President:
Toxic, September II, 1905.
The President:
japanese government is very anxious
that the disturbances in Toxic and other
towns should not be considered as anti
American demonstrations. They say
they arose as follows: Many of the Jap
anese people were disappointed because
their hopes in respect to the results OF
the war had been greatly exaggerated BY
tnc expected and uniform victories. IHese
people in Toxic wished in peaceablc
manner to protest on the subject. but
the police authorities of Toxic unwlSe-
ly and illegally sought to restrain 4 le-
gitimate popular demonstration, and so
met resistance. This created riot, and
at once placed control of the movement
in the hands Of the lowest elements, and
made a mob without conscience, which
was hostile to the police especially, and
only incidentally to foreigners who got
in the way. There was no movement di-
rected against Americans or foreigners
as such. The disturbances have sub
sided entirely, and while the government
is maintaining at hand sufficient forces
to restrain further acts OF violence, there
is not the slightest evidence OF condl-
ton of continued riot. Meetings held III
other cities to protest against peace Pet
mitted by the police have been peaceabI ::
Members OF our entire party visited al!
parts Of Japan since the riot at Toxic,
and not one member has been subjected
to any indignity at all. | feel sure that
the statement OF the authorities is cor
rect, and that any effort to create the
impression that there is an antiiorclgn
demonstration or anti-Amercan scnti-
ment in the great body OF the people OF
Japan is unjust. | hope that You Will
deem it wise to give publicity to tAiS
dispatch. in justice to the japanese gov
eminent and people, whose friendship
for America and gratitude 'or the as
sistancc which you rendered them Ill TIE
matter Of Oeace is abiding.

Vegetables and Fruit.

"Gold in the morning. silver at noon
and lead at night" is always used with
reference to fruit. Most people think
1t means that the explanation Of the
proverb is that digestion is strongest
In the morning. and weakens as the
day goes on. But you will note that
the proverb refers to fruit alone. II
It has to do with the digestive pow
er only It should be applied to all
foods. The real explanation is very
different. 1t is that fruit freshly
gathered is fitted for eating, and less
ems in value as the hours pass. That
is true not Of fruit only but of all veg
etables. That which comes direct
from the garden to the table Is the
most palatable and in every way bes,
fitted for consumption.
