masked men compelled the engineer 10

mail and express cars half a mile west
of the balance of the train.
The robbers, it is said, then com.
PEELED the engineer at the point of
their guns to set off seven charges of
dynamite, which blew out the ends
and sides of the express car, and shat
tered the through" and local" safe.
They decamped with the contents, TAX
ing shots at the fireman, who stuck
his head out of the engine cab, and at
the head of the brakeman they OBJ
served approaching.
The amount of plumber obtained is
unknown.
Passengers were not molested, and
no one was injured.
Engineer George w. Howe was in
charge of the locomotive west of Spo
kane, with Conductor Jesse Huxtable.
At Hillside station, Is miles west of
North Yakima, two men climbed over
the tender of the engine into the cab
and presented guns at the heads OF
the engine crew. The train was STOP
ped at the command of the robbers.
Then the engine, tender express and
mail cars were cut off, run down tue
track and stopped. One man stood
guard over the train crew, while the
second attached explosives to the ex-
press car doors. Both doors were
blown from their fastenings.
The bandits attacked both safes in
the express car. One is known as the
through" safe and is built into the
car at the SHOPS. Its contents are
locked up at the point of departure
and only removed at the terminal. The
strong box was shattered and its con-
tents removed. The local safe to
which the messenger has a key, was
then shattered and such valuables as
it contained were taken out. The eX.
press messenger and mail clerk were
in the dining car at the time.
Reports received at the general o.
fees of the Northern Pacific state that
both men were masked and heavily
armed. They were of medium height,
inclined to be slight in build, wore
black hats and coats and blue over
alls. One mans overalls were badly
torn. On releasing the trainmen both
decamped in the direction of North
Yakima.

Prior to the civil War the Coins
Passed Current.
Prof w. Il. Hidden of Newark, N.
j., spent last week In Rutherfordton
as the guest of NJ. o. Dickerson, clerk
OF the Superior court Of Rutherford
county. Prof. Hidden Is an eminent
geologist and mining engineer and his
name will be recognized as the origin
Of the beautiful stone called hiddenite.
a valuable emeraldgreen gem found
in western North Carolina, according
to the Syracuse On. y Telegram. 1t
was SO named because OF Its discovery
by Prof Hidden about 1881 while ex-
plorlng Alexander county, North Caro-
lima.
The interesting announcement Is
made concerning the visit OF the emf
nent gentleman 10 North Carolina that
no Is here seeking data concerning tho
late Christopher Bechtler, who was a
resident of Rutherfordton many years
prior to the civil war, and there coined
the gold mined In the mountain region
round about The Bechtler one-dolar
and five-dOllar pieces were once extern
sively circulated in North and South
Carolina and passed at their face value
everywhere.
The fact Is they contained a greater
ratio of gold than those of the United
States mintage, but under the coinags
laws of the government the Bechtler
mint had to close shop Thousands of
dollars meanwhile had gone into cir
culaton, but many OF the coins drifted
to the United States mint at Charlotte.
where they were remlnted, while 9th
ers fell into the hands OF parties who
preserved them as curios. We have
seen quite number OF them in upper
South Carolina, but those who pos
sess them cannot be induced to part
with them. These North Carolina
coins bring all kinds of prices, and he
is lucky man who has one or more
Of them.
Prof. Hidden during his visits to-
North Carolina learned of Mr.. Bechtler
and his mint and became greatly In
terested. He is gathering data TO
write a biography of Bechtler and a
history Of his coinage operations. 1t Ia
stated, however, that he will get ont
an edition Of only $50 copies OF his
book. Prof Hidden has a fine collec-
ton OF Bechtler coins and wants more
Of them, offering handsome prices for
this historic North Carolina gold
money.

Diplomacy.

Diplomacy Is a matter of business.
though polite business, hedged about
by etiquette and forms and adorned
with a few frllls. Get behind the lin
gerie and the lingo and go to the
heart Of the thing and you will find it
very much like the practice of law.
The man. with the best case ought to
win, and when he doesn't and the man
with the poorer case does win 1t Ia
because he is the better man and
knows better how to present his case
and how to handle It, There is an
other popular notion that the Ameri-
can diplomatic establishment is weak
because our representatives abroad
contend with men trained all their
lives in the diplomatic school. We
have no permanent diplomatic estab-
lishment. Our ambassadors and min
listers abroad are picked from law of
fees, editorial rooms and even count
ing rooms. Usually they have had no
previous acquaintance with diplomatic
work. Yet nine times out of ten they
are more than match for the men
they have to deal with abroad. Breadth
and strength of character, knowledge
Of human nature and experience gain
ed in the rough and tumble OF life
count for quite as much as the other
fellows dilettante culture 1t is the

Cut Flowers.

A florist gives these directions fol
preserving cut flowers. When they
can be picked free from garden il
is comparatively easy to preserve
them, but when they must be pur-
chased at the florists they have lived
half their lives already and need
tender care. Cut the stems in a
long, sfanting cut and place in fresh
water, taking care that the stems do
not quite touch the bottom Of the
case. Some flowers, mignonette, for
example, are extremely liable to
droop when brought from the for
lists to warm living room. Lay
the flowers for a short time IN the
icebox to freshen before placing ii
water. Every morning as long as
the flowers last cut the stems and
place III fresh water.
