Shortly after Lady Tennyson's mar.

the following: I'VE would find Mrs
Tennyson alone in the large drawing

dress of soft gray merino trimmed
with velvet or fur, and with long
train, a piece of rich old lace, worn
instead of cap. dropping over her
hair behind and coming to point in

ticularly remember Fichte's phil

rather languid. but this arose chiefly
from lack of vitality or physical

lean with your back against anything
that is cold. Never sit with the back
in direct daught, and when warming
it by the fire do not continue to keer

TRAIN ROBBERY.
Express Car Dynamited and Safe
Blown.-Two Robbers Caught.

Seattle, Wash, Oct. 3.-The Great
Northern overland train leaving Seat
tie last night was held up and the
baggage and express car dynamited
miles from Ballard at 8:45 p. m.
The train was tagged near the brick
yards, and as the engine slowed up
two men with rain coats on climbed
over the tender and presented revol-
vers at the head of the engineer. At
ter the train stopped the baggage
and express car was uncoupled by
one of the robbers. The engineer was
compelled to pull ahead several hum
dred yards and stopped. Messenger
Charles Anderson was ordered to
open the door of his car. He refused
and a heavy charge of dynamite was
placed against the door and explod-
ed. 1t tore the car almost to pieces
The safe was then dynamited. The
train was delayed two hours and
holdup says that at least seven men
were engaged in the robbery. The con
ductor believes there were other men
farther down the track. Three char
geS of dynamite were exploded to
open the safe. While the robbers were
thus engaged two boys who had been
sitting on the blind baggage slipped
off and went through the train de-
manding money from the passengers.
They were arrested and are in jail
at Everett. They gave the names of
Frank Alfred and Roland Gibbs. They
deny that they were connected with
