old TIME METHOD
IN ROBBING TRAIN

st Paul, Mimi, Sept. 12.-General
Manager Elliott of the Great Northern
Express Company announced to the
Associated Press today that the
Great Northern Oriental limited train
No. 1. which left st. Paul Tuesday
morning, was held up by two masked
men six miles west of BEDFORD, Mont,
early today.
The robbers crawled over the ten
der at that place and at the point of
their guns commanded the engineer to
stop the train. They then ordered
the engineer to go back with them to
the express car and instructed him to
tell the express messenger, mail clerk
and baggage man to go back to the
coaches. While this was being done
the robbers kept up a continued fusil-
lade of their guns to terrify the pas
sengers and keep them within the
coaches.
After the messenger, baggageman
and mail clerk had left their cars the
robbers went through the mail cars
end robbed the sacks of a large guam
tity of registered mail. Then they
went into the special express car,
which carried an overflow of mail and
baggage and express, and which con-
tanned a regular through safe.
After exploding three charges the
safe was opened and found to be
empty. The robbers did not enter the
regular express car in which the mes
senger had been riding. Finding the
safe empty the highwaymen helped
themselves to the registered matter,
and, after firing a parting volley, de
parted.
In view of the fact that the Great
Northern Express Company did not
suffer any loss. the Great Northern
Railroad Company has telegraphed
the following offer of a reward to all
points in the West along its lines:
The Great Northern Railway Com.
pany will pay $4,000 for the arrest and
conviction of each of the persons en-
gagged in the holdup Of its train neaI

This means a reward of $4,000 to

ton of the robbers.

This gallant rObber of mems purses
and ladies' hearts was Of French ex-
traction. Duval became so rich with
his Ill gotten gains hat he was enabled
to retire from the profession and re-
turn to France. But a quiet life, free
from the excitement of his old career,
did not agree with his adventurous
spirit. He returned again to England
and resumed his avocation. At length
he was captured at the Hole in the
Wall, in Chandos street. While in
prison awaiting his doom many ladies
of position visited him and endeavored
to obtain his release, but justice was
ineXorable, and he was hanged at Ty-
burn in January, 1910. His epitaph in
st. Paul's church, Coyent Garden,
speaks Of him as "Old Tyburn's glory,
England's illustrious thief" and tells
us:
Here lies Duval. Reader, If male thou
art,
Look to thy purse; if female, to thy
heart.
Much havoc has he made of both.

A REMARKABLE antidote for accidents
is proposed by Julius Kruttschnitt,
director of maintenance and operation
of the, Hartman lines, and vice-presi-
dent Of the Southern Pacific. 1t is his
theory and opinion that publicity is the
remedy, or at least, one of the most
efficacious remedies at hand: "The
persons responsible for accidents,
whether officers or laborers, should be
known to the public in order that they
may be made to feel the weight of
popular displeasure. We must bring
about a closer observation of the rules
governing the operation of the railroads,
and a greater respect for danger signals
than we now get from our employees.
This can be done only by the widest
publication of accidents" This idea is
so at variance with the general rule of
railroads as to merit more than passing
attention. The rule now obtaining is
the maintaining of as near absolute
ignorance as is possible, by gaggirg
employees and discouraging reporters
and the press etc. Unrestricted, impair
tial publicity might help the case, and
heavens knows the case needs all the
help it can receive from any and all

DRESSING FOR DINNER.
A Habit to BE Cultivated by All
Classes Of Persons.

Dressing for dinner is regarded by
some as a piece of arrogance and as
%evidencing merely a desire to appear
superior to somebody else. They OBJ
serve no dignity in the custom and per
haps do not realize the fact that the
change Of clothes is consistent with
personal comfort and cleanliness,
whether the new garments dOnned be
Of the evening dress pattern or not.
The most important meal OF the day
affords to those who dine in the even
ing an excellent opportunity Of ex-
changing their wOrkaday clothes for a
suit which has been brushed and aired.
The bracing effect OF Il change Of
clothes is we'll known. Many a man.
being almost too fatigued after an az
duous days work to change his clothes,
finds himself considerably refreshed
when he experiences 4 feeling OF clean
illness and preparedness for his dinner,
and good digestion invariably waits on
healthy appetite. The changing OF
clothes may V e thus favorably affect
nutrition. Nor need the changing OF
clothes be the exclusive luxury OF the
persons who dress for dinner. The
hard worked clerk, the shopkeeper and
the workingman would all be better if
they would cast off their woTkaday
clothes and put on clean clothes for the
evening meal after the day Of toll Is
over. The change freshens the body,
gives 4 gentle stimulus to the wearied
hand and head, and a brighter view of
things is thereby engendered. The
habit is, besides, Clearly, dignifed and
becoming.-Lancet.
