The Heath Spring Robbers. will
Probably be Tried in the
Federal Court.
Special To News and Courier.

| Special To News and Courier.
Lancaster, May 2.-Govcinor
/ Glenn, cf North Carolina, has
again changed the time for the
hearing by him of the rcquisition
papers issued by Governor Hey
ward for Fisher and ODay, the
alleged safe-crackers held at
Wadcsboro. The hearing has
been postponed from to-day until
the 9Th instant.
Lancaster is not as keen as she
was to get possession of the men
to try them for the Heath Springs
robbery. 1t seems that Whoever
receives them from the Wadcs-
boro authorities will have to pay
"a big expense account, amounting
to several hundred dollars. for
guarding, surgical operations
medical attention, etc, 1t is,
therefore, thonght best to let the
National Government take the pris
oncrs and try them on the charge
it has against them Of robbing
postofiices. Then, when Uncle
Sam gets through with them, the
Lancaster authorities would like
to have the men turned over to
them
1t is not known here what evil
dence the North Carolina author
tiles have against tho parties in
connection with The McAdensville
robbery. If the evidence be
strong Governor Glenn may de-
eide to hold thcm for trial in
his own State.
Under an Act Of the Legisla-
turc of South Carolina, passed in
1902, a burglary where explos-
ives are used is punishable with
life imprisonment, unless there be
a recommendation to mercy by
the jury. 1t is not likely, there
fore, that if the subjects are first
tried and convicted in Lancaster
they will ever be called upon TO
answer to criminal charges in any
other State.

In onr last issue we noted the
death of Mr. Wilson Griffin. The
Monroe correspondent of the
Charlotte Observer gives the sad
circumstances of his death ms fol
lows: AS mentioned in this cor
respohdence rev days ago, Mr.
Griffln accidentally fell from his
buggy, which the pony he was
driving pulled up against the sides
of cut. and in the fall his leg
was broken. Medical aid was
soon given to him and he was re-
moued to the hospital Later
such complications arose that it
was found necessary to amputate
the injured limo and Mr. Griffin
never recovered from the shock.
He was a popular young man and
the church could not hold the
large congregation that assembled
ut his funeral today. A special
conveyance had to be provided
to carry the floral offerings sent
by friends. They were beautiful
and [ have never seen SO many
flowers at funeral before. One
feature that adds to the many sad
things about this death is that it
occurred on the second anniver.

----
With How Many of These Authors
Are You Acqunintcdf
Let him who prctends to be master
Of English letters say whether he has
read the prose works Of Milton and Of
Dryden. Has he first hand knowledge
of the Elzabethan dramatists other
than Shakespeare? Has he really pc
rused all of Edmund Sponsors poetry?
What does he know from his own read
ing of the Advancement OF Learn
ingT Has he read all of Sir Thomas
Brownies prose and John Donne's po-
etry? And the great English pulpit
orators-Jeremy Taylor, Fuller, South
and Barrow-has he mastered their SER
mons?
Can he truthfully testify that he
knows all Of Swift. johnson and
Burke, all of Bishop Berkeley, Daniel
Defoe. the novels of Richardson, Field
Ing, Smollett and Stcrne, the histories
of Hume, Robertson and Gibbon and
also Hume's philosophical essays, the
prose of Coleridge, Wordsworths "Ex-
cursion," all of Shelley, Jane Austen's.
Maria Edgeworth's and Disraeli's nov
els? These are English classics, books
which no gentlemnn's library should
be without and with the contents of
which well read man ought to be ac-
quainted.
One would wager much against little
that the ordinary man who calls him
self well read has not read 80 per cent
Of the classics here cnumerated.-San

Thrice-a-week New York World.

The Thrice-a-week World has
made special arrangements for the
year 1905. Its already great news
service has been extended and, as
heretofore, it will report all impor-
tant events promptly, accurately and
impartially.
An original and striking feature
of the Thrice-a.W World in 1905
will be its serial publication of the
strongest and best fiction that has
ever appeared in the columns of any
newspaper. The novels already ar
ranged for, and which are by writer's
known throughout the world are:
Cardigan" by Robert w. Cham
bers; Before The Dawn" by JOS
eph A. Altsheler. "The Reds Of
the Midi" by Felix Gras. 1.-THE
Cardinals Rose" by Van Tassel
Sutphen. "The Blazed Trail" by
Stewart Edward White.
The Thrice-a Week Worlds regu-
lar subscription price is only $l.OO
per year, and this pays for l56
papers. We offer this unequaled
newspaper and the Democrat to-
gether one year for $2.l5. The
regular subscription price of the
wo papers is $3.50. If

RUSSIAN WOMEN.
The Many Restrictions to Which
They Are Now Subjected.

The Many Restrictions to whicI,
They Are Now Subjected.
1t is difficult for an American to UNI
derstand that freedom as we know it
does not exist in Russia. There the le-
gal position of woman Is far from sat
isfactory. She hardly ever belongs to
herself, but is always under the tute-
lage Of some one.
AS daughter the Russian woman Is
under the entire control of her parents.
Her coming of age does not alter her
position. She simply changes the au-
thority Of her parents for the no less
rigid authority Of her husband. AS the
Russian statute puts it, zone person
cannot reasonably be expected to fully
satisfy two such unlimited powers as
that of husband and parent"
The unlimited power of the parent is
withdrawn and that of the husband
substituted. She cannot leave her lord
even to visit a neighboring town with
out pass" from him. He names the
time she is permitted to stay, and at
the end of that time she is bound to re-
turn TO get the pass renewed.
A husband may appear in court of
law as witness against his wife, but
wife is not allowed to appear against
her husband. \ woman's evidence in
Russia is always regarded as of less
weight than that of man.-Harpers

CONSTANT BIRDS.
Baldhcaded Eagles and Golden
WoOLpcclSern Mate but Once

Baldheuded Eagles and Golden
WoOdpccl<ers Mate but Once.
The married life of most birds could
be taken for model even by members
Of the human family. There is, for
instance, the staid. dignifled and home
ly baldheaded eagle, the glorious en-
blem Of the American republic. He
mates but once and lives with his one
mate until he or she dies If left
widower-even n young widower-the
baldheaded eagle never mates again.
He remains alone and disconsolate In
the nest on the rock crag or in the
branches of tall pine that formed
his domiclle while his mate was alive.
No other female eagle can tempt him
to forsake his disconsolnte life. With
him, once widower, always Wild
over.
The golden woodpeckers live in
happy married state, mating but once.
If the male dies his mates grief is
lasting. and she lives u widowed bird
the rest Of her life. So. too, the male
woodpecker never seeks another mate
after the death of his own. He taps
on tree beside their nest dny and
night trying to recall her; then Mt
length, discouraged and hopeless, he
becomes silent and never RECEIVERS his
gayety.-Chicago Tribune.

In the Sailors home in Brooklyn the

Of dollars. Some time ago one of them
after being paid Off at the end Of his
enlistment had 500, which he deposit

to have good time. Along toward
midnight he returned in u hilarious
condition and asked for $50 more.
The superintendent handed him two

off apparently satisfied. The following

the superintendent to give him the bal

NO MONOPOLY OF BRAINS.

This liz the Age of Opportunity For
the Able Man.
One of the many hopeful signs Of the
times is the apparent decay of the
breed of so called great men, those
mighty personalities that in former
times stood out like solitary tree in u
vast prairie. The reason for it, of
course, is the distinction Of all those
old time monopolies of brains which
stunted all human beings except few
who by chance rather than by superb
GRITTY Of fiber grew and developed.
There are thousands, literally thou
sands. Of men now living who If they
had lived century or so ago and had
done work similar to that which they
are doing without any very sonorous
fanfare upon the trumpets of fame
would have been the talk Of the world
and the main topic Of history. And
how many Of the so called great
achievements of so called great states
men, soldiers and thinkers Of former
times would be impossible today be-
cause those achievements depended
chiefly upon the ignorance and lncapac-
lty Of the overwhelming mass Of the
men Of their day!
Truly this is the age Of opportunity.
