New Brunswick, N j. masked men
held up William Schieck, a paymaster,
and William f Harkins, and got away
with satchel containing nearly $4,000.
The robbery occurred at 100 p. m.
near the Raritan Driving Park track
on the main road to Germantown,
where trolley cars run every few min
utes. In many respects the hoId-up
was similar to the one which occurred
on August "a, 1904, when Dana White,
assistant paymaster of the O'Rourke
Construction Company. was robbed OF
more than $4,000 by six men near Mont
clair M ].
Schieck lives at Newark. He came
here during the afternoon. He and
Mr. Harkins started out In buggy to
pay the 800 men employed by the Della
ware River Quarry and Construction
Company. The men are now at work
about three miles from this city. The
two men had just passed the driving
park, on the main road, when the five
men jumped from behind clump of
trees, taking them completely by sur
prise. Neither Schieck or HaTkinS was
armed
The leader of the highwaymen was a
tall Italian He wore no mask and
caught hold of the horses head bring

Three of the party had reyolvers and
two had shotguns One of the Italians
sprang into the wagon and snatched
the satchel out of the hands of the pay
master. The five men. four of whom
were masked, then disappeared in the
woods.
The men held up at once alarmed the
Workmen near by, and they started of
after the robbers. The police sent tele-
phone messages out to all the neighbor-

out three separate squads of officers in
rigs behind fast horses to try to head
of the highwaymen. The men were

and later on their way to Newmarket.
It is believed that all of them had
been former employees of the quarry
company, and were familiar with the
way the men were paid off. In the
satchel was the money to pay the 300
men their wages for the last two
weeks.
A reward of $1,000 was offered for
the capture of the five men. Every
possible effort is being made to run
them down, but there are so many
chances of escape by boarding freight
trains that they will b hard to capture.

Logical Juryman.

For nearly six hours had the court
been convulsed with the evidence
given in a sensational action for breach
of promise. The many ridiculous love
letters had been read, commented up
on, and heartily laughed at; counsel
had spoken, the judge had summed up,
and the jury had retired to consider
their verdict.

man. "how much shall we give this
young man?'
"Look here" said one of the jurymen,
"if l understand Alright, the plaintiff
doesn't ask damages for blighted af-
fections, or anything of that sort, but
only wants to get back what he's spent
on presents, holiday trips, etc.
THAT is so,' agreed the foreman.

all the fun he had with that girl didn't
cover the amount he expended it must
have been his own fault. Gentlemen,

Persons with susceptibility to mala-

RAILROADS BUILT IN 1905
New Mileage Excssds That Of 1904
by Seven Hundred Miles.
Track Extensions to the Amount Of 497o
NILES on ss7 Lines in Forty-hve
States and Territories.

New York City. During 1905 1919
miles OF new railway tracks have been
laid in the United States, on 337 lines
in forty five States and Territories. In
addition, several hundred miles have
been graded and track is being laid on
many lines as the year closes. These
figures are not final for there are some
roads which have not yet furnished
full reports, and it is probable that the
complete returns will show over 5000
miles,
The new mileage of 1905 exceeds that
of 1904 by over 700 miles. For a good
many years the Southwestern States
have furnished a larger percentage of
new mileage than any other group, but
the scene Of active construction opera
tions appears to be shifting to the
Northwest With the Chicago, Mil
Waukee and ST. Paul headed for the
Pacific coast, with the new Gould line
(the Western Pacific already under
construction between Salt Lake City
and San Francisco, and with many
new lines planned by the Hartman
and the Hill systems, the Western and
Northwestern States will be the scenes
of busting activity for the next few
years.
The most noteworthy piece of con-
struction during the past year was the
extension of the 500 Line from Thief
River Falls, Mimi, to Kenmare, N. D.,
a distance of 297 miles. Contracts for
this work were not let until March
and track laying was not begun until
July, yet the road was completed
ready for operation the latter part of
November. The 500 Line also built
two branches in North Dakota, each
nineteen miles, in length, making a to-
tai of 1886 miles of road built by this
company To tap the same region the
Great Northern has built five branches,
aggregating 1861 miles, north from it's
main line. Altogether the Great North
ern laid 243 miles of track on extern
sions Ia Minnesota, North Dakota, Ne
braska and Washington. The second
longest line built was by the st. Louis,
Brownsville and Mexico, which COM
pleted III miles of its extension from
RobstoWn to Houston, Tex

Literature For Convnleseents,

Tor reading during convalescence
the British Medical Journal would
prescribe literature that cheers but
does not inebriate, and would contra
indicate writer's whose style. like that
Of George Meredith, puts constant
strain on the understanding of the
reader, or, like that of Mr.. Maurice
Hewlett, irritates by its artificial gilt
ter, or, like that of Marie Corelli, an
noys by its frothy impertinence. .
Dickens should go well during conva-
lescence except "Pickwick" at least
in surgical cases, because Of the many
side-splitting episodes which would
play havoc with the union Of parts.
And for the same reason, in order that
healing granulations may not be inter-
fered with, we would absolutely inter
dict Mark Twain. Smiles self Help
is quite innocuous, but we should be
cautious in recommending it, in order
that the patient may not thereby be
led to mediate upon a misspent career,
and to have suggested to him all the
opportunities in life he might have
grasped but did not. A dependency
might thus be induced which would
delay a restoration to health, and
which might even prove fatal. Thack-
cray Except Vanity Fair which is a
pessimistic book should go very well;
"Pendennis" and Barry Lyndon" will
certainly entertain. The magazines of
the day are placid aud cheering
enough, and in them one will seldom
come upon a story sufficiently original
or vigorous to excite anybody. Punch
will, of course, be always in order-for
its humor is Of the soothing sort. which
never arouses ones risibilities, but
keeps him always within the dccorous
limits Of smile
