Richmond Times Dispatch. 10th. 2
What looks very much like a case Of
expert thuggery, if not highway rob-
berry, was reported to detective head
quarters last night. and is being inves-
tigated by the police.
A we'll known merchant of Bath coun-
ty, Va, came to Richmond to buy his
fall stock of goods, reaching here over
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway about
$3.50 o'clock yesterday afternoon at
Main Street Station. On looking
about the station the man asked some
nearby loafers to direct him to saloon.
Two young men volunteered to con-
duct him. One of them carried the
VISITORS grip. and the three had the
drinks on one another several times
over. The merchant has little recol
lection of the subsequent events until
he found himself lest night in an alley
off Seventeenth Street. without eth
OF SdCCu6l UT pUckob mOUoy.
Last night he appeared to be still
suffering from the effects of his visit
to the saloon, and the police have a
suspicion that his condition may not
all be accounted for by drink, but tina
be may have been doped, since the
usual remedies failed to sober him up
entirely.
From the best account be could give
of himself the man said that be had
had over eight hundred dollars in eur.
rency with him. over four hundred
having been In bis satchel and the re-
mainder on his person. When found
in the alley he had but 81 40 on him.
The police verified part of his story
by taking him to several barrooms
where he was recognized as man who
had drinks with two other men, de
scription of whom was given
Detective Gibson and Policeman at
kinson are at work on the case, ant
hope shortly to land the men who roll
ed this countryman out of his wad.-

| J. Nj. Coleman, a stranger, was ir
the Police Court this morning CHARGED
with being drunk. He is the man who
according to the mornings paper, wal
robbed of $500 last night. Mr.. Cole
man said be would leave for home to-
night, and Justice Crutchfield dismiss
ed him. Mr.. Coleman also said that at
the time be is alleged to have lost $500
he didn't have but "a, and be had that
this morning. Therefore he isn't wOr-
rled about the eight hundred be didn't
lose.
Last night Mr.. Coleman, who is a
big, prosperous looking man, about
forty years old. was taken into custody
on Mayo Street because be was in an
alleged irresponsible condition. When
he got to the First Station something
was said about $500 Captain Barfo0t

lost the money. At any rate Detec-

TOURIST TAFT.

The travels of the Hon. VIM IL. Taft
are many and varied. He has trotted
here and there over much territory
and at vast expense to the government
and is now going around the world.
Nothing can be done any where in our
colonies without it has the sanction of
the Hon VIM T. He has not been in
the office of the Secretary of War at
Washington one day in every twenty
since be began bis peripatetics. He
either sails the seas or harrangues
crowds, and leaves the Office of Score
tary of War to run itself or be run by
some subaltern. Ii Mr.. Taft is being
coached by President Roosevelt for
president next term, his training is
costing Uncle sam money, for VIM. is
no cheap man. When be travels to the
Philippines-as he IL now doing-he
goes not as a simple transformations
citizen or servant of the Nation, but
as the envoy of great ruler. Cannon
boom when he enters a foreign pUrt,
Kings send their fiunkies to bow and
scrape and paw the earth before him.
He represents the King of America,
and foreign nations are awed by his
approach. The great guns of Uncle
Sam 3 navy frowD upon the subjects of
Kings and Emperors when Mr.. Taft
arrives in their harbOrs. Our brave
Jackies guard the sacred person of the
Hon. Mr.. Taft when he receives hon.
oge from the rulers of distant lands,
the rulers of distant lands thank Mr..
Taft for condescending to call, the
countries be visits marvel at Uncle
Sam g greatness. and at the avoidupois
of this his am bassador, feeling certain
that the rOtundity of the Hon. Mr..
Taft is Indicative of the proportions
of the country he represents.
But seriously. what does all this
travel mean; is there no one OF our
officers in the countries to which he
goes who is able to report conditions
and give advice; can the Hon. Mr..
Taft know better what to do in few
moments than they who have been on
the ground for long time and have
studied the situation ? 1t looks to us
as if Taft were being magnifed, as if
all that takes place must be accredited
to his foresight and wise counsel, and
that thus he must be trusted. because
he does it all and it is all right. What
a glorious thing to have pull. What
a glorious thing to be thus favored and
advertised.

LAID AT THE WIRING DOOR.

1t is now well known that nearly all
railway work is stopped. The build
ing of new lines possibly is going on
in a way, but Improvements have al
most invariably been brought to
stand still. This, by the railways, is
laid at the door of the various States
demanding reduced rates. and the &C
tion of the President in bis demand
for investigation as to rebates and vi0
latiOns of the law. These, the railroads
tell us, have destroyed con6dence,an

The State militia men have begun
to ask pay for the time they are in
camp. This is the way they say to
train soldiers for war which may come
at any time. Seeing that the United
States has never had a war that she did
not bring about herself we see no use
for soldiers. unless We are determined
to continue making war on other peO-
pie. We need never fear any power
making war on us. unless over those

pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
1t corrects inability to hold water

is soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis

Common Pleas Decisions

Judge Wolfe handed down three de- cisions in the civil side of the court of common pleas yesterday The first was in the case of Margaret F. Frey vs. Matilda Martin, both of West Ha- ven. The suit was based on piece of property having a forty-foot frontage 1 on Thomas street. West Haven. The plaintiff claimed that the defendant had dispossessed her of the land, and she not only asked for recovery of pos session, but also for $500 damages for loss of rents, etc. She claimed that the property was taken in June, 1904. Judge Wolfe rendered judgment for the plains tiff to recover land and awarded $l damages,
 The second case was that of Angelina De Crosta vs. Antonio Milici. The plaintiff claimed $100o damages for rent which it was alleged the defend ant had collected as agent for some property at the corner of Lafayette and Broad strets, owned by the plaintiff, and which the plaintiff claimed she did not receive. Judge Wolfe rendered a verdict in favor of the defendant. The third case was that of County Treasurer Hiram Jacobs vs. John C. Reilly, an Ansonia saloonkeeper, and also the Fidelity and Guarantee com fpany, of Maryland. The saloonkeepef was convicted in court of violating the liquor law and his certificate was not re-issued at the time, although 1t after wards was.

WHITE CITY FEATURES
AdgIe's Battles With Her Lions--"rhe

The remarkable performance of Adgie and her lions at the White City is attracting great crowds. Manager Speck is even pleased with himself over his success in getting this splendid att i traction for the people of New Haven another week.
 As for Adgie herself, she is a great admirer of the patrons of the White fCity, and never works so hard as when showing here. Unlike many perform CTS, she does not find local audiences cold, but, on the contrary, finds them very appreciative of her work. Moth ing so encourages one in her line as appreciation, and for the reason that It has been shown here she has Kept Victoria in the cage despite that ani- malls bad disposition of late and the consequent danger to herself Victoria is moody animal and every once in a while breaks out in desperate fits. It is at these times that Adgie has to use all her powers and bravery in battle with the lioness.
 The feeding of the lions takes place right after the performance each night and is q feature In itself
 The equivalent of free admission practically fills the White City every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, For the price of admission on these days a free coupon is given for q ride on the scenic or miniature railway the chutes or visit to the foolish house.
 The great sS,O0O attraction, "The Lemon" is now in full blast To put it honestly and mildly, there's nothing on the shore to equal 1t in excitement and lwholesomeness. It is q side-agitator from beginning to end, and dispels lethargy and the blues in an instant
 The growing interest each week in
 the free silverware presents is wonder full Every one is anxious to get one or more of them, and all stand an equal opportunity. Coupons for the silver are free to all patrons and are got at the 1 ticket office. Do not forget them.
 The Filipino midgets continue in pop ularty They are the most remarka- ble attraction of the klnd ever. seen in this section.

Seasonahlc Reflections.

It really seems that we are going to have summer weather after all. While everybody has been shivering and shak- ing and exercising to keep warm, now everybody is perspiring and saying: 'Is this hot enough for you?" "How does this weather suit your" etc. And with the change in temperature there is a corresponding change in feeling It is not the coal bin any longer; 1t is the refrigerator and the ice man. No more hot drinks to drive the frost out of ones system; instead it must be iced tea, ice cream and other cooling deli caeies.
 Well, friends and fellow citizens, take a little walk with me over to the John E. Bassett & Co. stores and feast your eyes on the splendid stock of hot weather goods there, You never saw so large and fine a display, did you? No, indeed. you didn't.
 Look at those ice cream freezers- aren't they beauties? There is nothing quite so effectual in tempering down
