yet in the hands of the secret service
men. A few underlings have been APP
pretended, but the real instigators OF
the crime and the men who furnished
the blood money, have not yet been
identified.
1t is thought that the money used Is
part of the proceeds Of several political
robberies committed last fall and win
ter. Many of the participants in these
so-called appropriations" have been
arrested and executed, but the loot was
never located.
The police officials maintain silence
when questioned regarding this con-
spiracy. They refuse either to affirm
or deny the story, and limit themselves
to stating that there is no indication
that the men arrested last week in this
city were connected with this conspir-
acy.
This statement comedies with infor-
nation obtained in the revolutionary
circles, where it is declared that the
men apprehended last week were oc-
cupied with the reorganization of the
lighting bands Of revolutionists which
the police succeeded last year in break
ing up and that the authors OF the
present conspiracy must be sought
outside st. Petersburg.

Burlington, Vt.-Bolton, a thriving
lumber camp 20 miles up into the
mountains from this place was treat
ed to a sensation recently, when a
baby boy, weighing six pounds, was
discovered on the doorstep of the
house occupied by Tracy & Howe, lum-
bermen.
The cries of the child attracted the
attention of the inmates and a SER
want was sent to the door to investi-
gate. She found a dress suit case on
the steps, which she removed to the
house. When the case was opened and
the wrappings about the child re-
moved, a handsome infant was seen
blinking in the light. In the case
was found a note addressed to Tracy
& Howe, which read:
This baby is one of twins. 1t was
born Jan. /, 1907. Its parents are Eng
lish. The child deserves a better home
than we can give it. Were it not for
the fact that the other child is liable
to die, we would have placed both in
the suit case We trust that you will
adopt the child and give it the bring
ing up it deserves. 1t will be useless
for you to attempt to detect the par
ents, as they do not reside within miles
of this locality"
Mrs. Howe was much pleased with
the baby and has decided to adopt it.
Mr.. and Mrs. Howe have no children,
except an adopted daughter.

Washington, d. C.-Another case of
discrimination against the uniform of
the United States army has been
brought to the attention of the war
department by Gen. Grant, command
ing the department of the east. Sol
diers in uniform at the Plattsburg, n.
Y, barracks were denied admission
to skating rink, although they ten
dered the regular price of admission.
The post commander alleged that the
ticket seller announced to the men
who were denied admission that "the
uniform is barred"
On the ground that the action OF
the rink authorities was a violation of
the bill of rights of the state of New
York, which provides that anyone
conducting public place of amuse-
ment cannot discriminate against any
class, the war department has author
lied the post commander to institute
proceedings against them.
