ChIoroformed by Robbers.

Cincinnati, June 23.-When Brake
man Orr, of the Chesapeake & Ohio
road, entered the station at Brent, KY,
early this morning, while his train was
on siding near by, he was startled to
see the operator, L. E. Lswell, lying on
the AooL The PROSTATE mans hands
and feet were bound and handkerchief
tied over his mouth. Orr at once re-
leased Lawell, who was unconscious
from the effects of chloroform. After
being revived, Lawel said that shortly
after midnight, while he was alone in
the office, two men entered. One cover
ed him with a revolver, while the other
held bottle containing chloroform I'M
der his nose. That is all he remembers
until reviveI. An examination showed
that all his months salary aud part OF
last months which he had with him
we're gone. The postOffice is in the
same building and Orr found the office
had been forced open and the contents
scattered over the aoor. Every desk in
the place had been rifed. Just how
much was taken is not known, but the
amount is thought to be considerable.
Word of the affair was at once sent to
the police of this city, Coyington aud
Newport, and the postoffice authorities
were also notified.

WAS stated in the Gazette, both
Houses of Congress yesterday adopted a
resolution declaring Chat the people OF
the United States are Mortified by re-
Dorts of the massacre of Hebrews in
Russia on account of their race and re-
yigion and that those bereaved have the
hearty sympathy of the people of this
country, This action is calculated to
give ofense to Russia, as that country
on a previous occasion notified the world
that II was able to take care of its own in
ternaI affairs. 1t seems, however, that it
ia not. and while other nations can do
no more than stand as spectators to the
horrors that are reported in the Cars
realms, it is but natural that they ex-
press themselves in protests against the
slaughters reported daily from Russia
The fact that Isrselites form large per-
centage of the inhabitants of the civil
lied world is sufficient cause for such
procedures. There is not city, town
or hamlet on the globe in which MEM
bers of the race are not found, and when
semitic outrages occur 10 any nation it
is likely to cause a universal protest.
The reproduction OF scenes enacted dur
Jag and preceding the days of the
Cssars is a blotupon the civilization ofthe
twentieth century. Neither the Gar nor
his cabinet can be blamed for the butch
cries reported, as such is the work of
6endish people who delight in the shed
ding of blood and the looting of their
fellow creatures. Those who engage in
such atrocities have examples in his
tory of terrible judgments which have
overtaken those who have played such
parts in past ages. Egypt, Babylon and
other nations have long since suffered
the vengeance of heaven for crimes SINH
lar to those now said to be enacted in
Russia, and the United States may rest
assured that it is not called upon to take
action in the matter.

The first is against the present dynasty
and in favor of a democratic foIm of
government, The demands thereby ac-
curing the support o: the masses.

SATURDAY EVENING. JUNE %. 1906.

OsE of the strans est sensations that
can be felt by man is that sudden start
ling consciousness on beholding some
new scene that is not really new, that
in some other state of being he has
known it we'll and has been an actor
therein. These CLASHES of remin-
iscence" have been the theme OF phlioso
pliers, poets, mystics and story tellers,
and the study Of their manifestations Is
always fascinating. The Rev. Forbes
Phillips offers in "The Nineteenth Gen.
turv" some curious anecdotes Of these
glimpses of what has often been thought
IN be pre.existence. One of these snec-
dotes-which may have given to Mr..
Kipling a hint for a certain story-has
for its scene the ruins OF Roman tort
re,s which rise not lar from Mr..
Phillips's home. A clergyman called
upon him one day and asked him to
accompany him there for ali examine
ton of the ruins. "He told me he
had a distinct recollection of living there
and that he held some Office of priestly
nature in the days of the Roman occu'
patton. One fact struck me as significant
He insisted on examining a ruined
tower which had bodily overturned
There used to be q socket in the top OF
it, he went on, lin which we used 10
plant mast, and archers used to be
hauled to the top in BASKET protected
with leather from which they picked oil
the leaders among the ancient Gorles-
tonians.' We found the socket he had
indicated" How may these flashes OF
recognition which have visited so many
human beings be explained? Mr.. Phil
lips believes that the true explanation
lies not in any theory of pre-existence,
but in ancestral memory''-an inherit
ance of "the records of an ancestors
past life, which require but the essen
tial adjustment and conditions to give
up their secrets" He thinks that
dreaming is largely a free play OF this
ancestral memory. He develops his
hypothesis with arguments which are as
Interesting as they are undoubtedly
reasonable.

The Ifaie Bill.

The conferees on the railroad rate bill
reached an agreement on all disputed
points yesterday. The report has been
s gned by the three managers on the part
Of the House-Messrs. Hepburn, Sher-
man, and Richardson-and by Senator
f kins, on the part of the Senate. Sen
ator Cullom, it is understood, will sign
the report today.
Senator Tillman objects to one feature
# the settlement The compromise
proposition which would apply the Nc
Llurin commodity amendment to rail-
r"Ads only, instead Of to common car
} RS, so far as it is prohibits them from
rrying commodities which they pro-
Cuce. BY this arrangement the amend
mcnt making pipe lines con- mon carriers
ia not affected.
What is regarded as an important
amendment, which was agreed to at yes
terday's conference, was the striking out
of the word "wilfully" in the provision
which fOrbids the granting of or accept
ing OF rebates. The word "knowingly"
was left in the provision. The effect
is that a person must simply knowingly"
offer or receive rebate, ii not being
necessary to prove that the act was evil
iully" done.
The disputed points for discussion
Yesterday included the sleeping-car
question 1t was agreed at the morn
ing session Yesterday that sleeping cars
should be included in the bill as common
carrier and subjects to regulation es
such. The second disputed point was
as to the five days notice to be given
before issuing an injunction enforcing
an order OF the commission. The Senate
amendment requiring this notice was
accepted by the cOnferres. 1t was also
agreed that no exception be made for
lumber in the commodity amendment.

Insults 10 Ladies.

Wilmington, n. c., June pa
well-known young white man of this
city, John Toler, and one of prominent
family, was sent to Jail for ninety days
here yesterday, on account of vile in
suits which Toler, half drunk, had Offer
ed two lady bathers, both strangers at
Wrigbtsvile Beach, near this city.
When the affsir became known, indig-
nation ran high in Wilmington, but, in
the meantime, Toler had been arrested.
At the trial today one of the prosecut-
ing attorneys was loudly applsuded
when he virtually declared that Toler
should have been killed. Without the
option of fine, Toer was sentenced to
Jail. So high did the feeling against
him run, that Toler was unable to get q
lawyer to defend him.

THE POLICE of Petersburg are en-
deavoring to enforce the vsgrant act,
and with this end in view have arrested
several white and colored men who
have no visible means OF support and
who are likely to become public burdens.
1t is a well-known fact that no little
difficulty is experience by the suthori-
ties in determining what constitutes
vsgrancy, and often worthless people
escape the mesheS of the law on techni-
calities. Attempts, however, to enforce
he law should be made, sud idle and
impecunious sble-b bodied men in every
community should be made to show
their means of support. A few days
ago an advertisement appeared in a
Washington paper Offering $3.50 per
day for all laborers that could be pro-
cured, and on several occasions contrsc-
tors have appeared in Alexandria and
endeavored to procure several hundred
men at the same figures. This is busy
era, when all classes can find something
to do, and there is no excuse for any
able-bodied person to loiter the hours
away watching other people who are
honestly fulfilling their mission in life.
