The Treasury Vaults.

The first question the average wis., itor to the United States treasury building asks is. Couldn't burglars tunnel under the vaults and rob the government" Well, that is not likely. An armed guard sits beside the vaults. Every twenty minutes he is required to ring an alarm just to show that he is awake. An armed patrol makes the rounds hourly. Secret service men in plain clothes, with concealed weapons, keep watch and ward outside and in- side the building. AS to tunneling, the officials hold that If man by any pos sibility should manage to bore under meath a vault the heavy metal would crush him to a jelly. thus administer ing lasting gold cure. Even if the tunnel burglar should get away with his life he could not get away with much gold. Ten thousand dollars in double eagles weighs thirty-eight pounds. Forty million dollars in gold certificates of the $10,000 denomination weighs eleven and a half pounds. Even burglars prefer the gold certifi- cates to the real thing.-Buffalo Times.

WILL VISIT PEARY
President Roosevelt Expecis to See lbe Arctic Explorer on
 Bis Way.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July Pres ident Roosevelt will visit Command CT Peary's Arctic exploring steamer Roosevelt, which was named after him on Monday afternoon, if the plans of the Peary Arctic club are successful.
 It is the intention of the club to have the Roosevelt run into Oyster Bay on her way from New York to the North pole and salute the pres ident. She probably will anchor of shore near Sagamore hill and if the club can make the arrangement the president will go out and inspect the craft. In all probability Com modore Robert E. Peary will ac- company the Roosevelt as far as Oyster Bay leaving her here to con- tinue on her way to Sydney, c. B.. where he will rejoin her. Commo- ldore' ePary it is expected will come ashore as soon as the Roosevelt comes to anchor and go up to Saga more hill to pay his respects to the president. He will invite him to go out and see the ship bearing his name. The president always has been warm admirer of the Arctic explorer and is interested in his at- tempt to plant the Stars and Stripes at the North pole.

HEAT REGISTRATION.
Employe of City Department Sue
 cumhed Tn-UaY.

Patrick Culliton, an employe Of the city department was overcome with the heat this morning while working on North Willow street and had to be taken to his home on Baldwin street Culliton. who is a strong husky man, was laboring with a force of men in charge of Foreman Dennis Harrington. About 11:30 he became so exhausted from the excessive heat that he fell in his tracks.
 He was carried to house nearby and after being revived was taken to his home. Although he is not like ly to feel any serious effects from the case 1t looked for time as though the case might be dangerous.
 To-day was easily one of the hot test of the year and outside laborers found the humidity something awful Although the sun was not so very strong the atmosphere was so close and muggy that humanity simply sweltered during the day. It was tor rid enough for almost everyone and by far too much that way for the ma. jority. During the noon hour the heavens began to thunder and il seemed as though relief was coming in the form of good shower. But there was no storm in sight, sim. ply lot of clouds, few claps oi thunder. a drop or two of rain, and more heat than ever.

Journslistic Revenaes.

The curious boycott of the press in the Berlin parliament had a precedent in the mother of parliaments, the Brit ish house Of commons. A writer in Harper's Weekly recalls that the per son involved was no less celebrity than the late Daniel 0'Connell. He condemned the inaccuracy of the par liamentary reports. but he forgot to make allowance for acoustic difficulties and the buzz of intervening conversa- ton. He charged the reporters with the malicious suppression of his speech es, and the gallery then refused to re- port him at all. Dan stormed and thundered in vain. even moving that the ringleaders be brought to the bar of the house. Finally he apologized. and all was well. Lord Lyttleton in 1871 fell foul of the press fin the same way. and the late Lord Monteagle had his name omitted from London news paper reports for two years because he said something the reporters did not like.

WORRYING AMERIcA's SIN.
Clergyman Says It Is National Disease
 Sarping Our Life.

"Americanitis is the great disease of the people of this country" said the Rev. W. F. Wakeham of Portchester. Conn. in a sermon on "The Sin of Worrying" in the Greenwich (Conn.) First Methodist Episcopal church the other morning.
 "Americanitls," he explained. was the act of worrying over everything. Tn France licentiousness is sapping the life of its people, in England drunkenness is working It's ruin, and in America worrying is killing the coun- try.
 The housewife preparing courses for the table worries for something new. The lady of fashion worries be- cause a hat is too large or because 1t is stylish and not becoming. A merchant worries over finances and takes his worry home to bed with him, thereby depriving his family of what pleasure there is in seeing him.
 Tt Is worry over this and worry over that continually. and the country is rapidly becoming peevish and fretful. and crimes are being committed con- tinually by the men and women who worry"

REGICIDE PLOT
Nan Accused of Being IDpIica. fed in AssassiuaiioDs Creates
 Sensation.

Lisbon, July 2.-Dr Jose Maria De Alpoim, chief of the progressive dis fidents, smarting under the insinua- tlons that he was implicated in the essassinations in Lisbon last Febru- ary of King Carlos and Grown Prince Luize, created a sensation in the house of lords to-day by revealing what he declared to be the true his tory of this regicide plot. He assert cd that the assassinations had been decided upon at meeting of the lead CTS of the progressive and regenerator party a few days before they were carried out.
 A number of republicans also were present at this meeting, Dr Alpoin charged further that the republicans proposed to obliterate the entire roy al family with the exception of Maria .Pia, the mother of King Carlos, but that the monarchists insisted that such a general slaughter would be useless. Finally Manuel Silvia Buis- sa and Alfred Costa were given S2O,- GOO and $10,000 respectively to kill King Carlos and Premier Franco. Ar engagements were made by other men to cover the flight of the assassins, but when Buissa and Costa fired their friends lost their heads and opened fire also. These shots resulted in the death of Prince Luize.

BLACK HAND
Four Persons IDiured and Two Dwelling Houses Damaged
 al Piiisburg
$2,OOO WASDEMANDED

Pittsburg, July Flour persons were seriously injured and two dwell ing houses partially wrecked early to- day when a charge of dynamite was exploded at the home of George Deav- otoria, a wealthy Italian living at McKeesport adjoining this city.
 Several threatening letters signed by an alleged Black Hand organiza- tion have been received by Deavo- toria recently in which $2,000 was demanded. The authorities are en- deavoring to trace the authors of the letters.
 The injured are George Deavotoria. his wife and father and Elmer Bailey, who lived next door to the Italian family. Bailey's injuries are very serious.
 On June 15 Deayotoria received the third and last letter from the Blackhand. It warned him that if $2,000 were not placed under the Fort Wayne railroad bridge by the evening of July l, his house would be blown up and the occupants blown to atoms. Deavotoria paid no attention to the letters. Bailey was returning from work and when opposite Deavotorias home noticed smoke coming from the side of the front porch. Believing the wood work had been accidentally set on fire he started to investigate and arrived at the side of the porch to get the full force of the explosion. Large holes were torn in the Deavo- toria and Bailey homes and win dows in a number of nearby resi- dences were shattered.

PI,a Eor Reform Ia E,eort pu,y.

T think a man in escorting a wo- man always should walk between her and the other persons on the side walk" said an American who recently returned to the United States from Germany after several years there. T am much opposed to the custom by which a man in accompanying a wo- man in the street always walks nearer the curb. The Germans have settled that question admirably. A German invariably walks nearer to the center line of the pavement than the woman does and thus protects her from the jostling to which American women often are subjected. In a thr0ng Amer ican men and women turn to the right in passing. and consequently if the escort by the American custom is on the right of the woman persons going in the opposite direction bump into her If the escort walked on the inside he would be her guard"

COURT ROOM WARM
And Judge Cowell Removed Bis Coat While Trying Case.

Things were so hot in the district court this afternoon that Judge Cowell held court in his Shirt sleeves. The case before him was enough to make anyone hot. Attor- ney Cassidy represented the defend ant, the Magner-Baier Hardware company, and Church the plaintiff, E. Lyman & Son of Boston, dealers in seeds. The. seed people claim they sold $50 worth of seeds to the defendants while their claim is they were given the seed to sell if they could.
 But as to Judge Cowell holding court in his shirt sleeves. It is not so very long ago that Judge George w. Wheeler of the superior court turned upon Oscar Zeigler, letter carrier, who had come in a shirt waist to testify in his court. At that time fashion was making big struggle to embroil men in the shirt waist style and MT Zeigler was one of those who succumbed. It was a roaring hot day. He wen. to court to testify and he was told by Judge Wheeler to get out and that the superior court was not place where men congregate in their shirt wais.s.
 On the other hand Judge Thayer, now judge of the supreme court one said court room is nothing more than place to work in. And working hard Judge Cowell was this afternoon in his court room in his shirt sleeves.

DRINKWATER'S WIVES
locked Up at Police Stsiion-- Two Women Claim Him as
 BusbaDd.

Too many wives proved the undo ing of Harry Drinkwater, a well known engineer on the Consolidated road, and as a consequence he was locked up this afternoon while cou- pie of women, each claiming to be his wife, occupy quarters in the women's ward. They were arrested at the rail- way station by Officer Callahan. On entering the station one of the wom- en informed Captain Bannon that she married MT Drinkwater nine years ago, but for some time past Mrs Clarke of Torrington had been paying attentions to him. To-day she had presentiment that there was some- thing wrong and went to the railroad station this afternoon, arriving just in time to catch her husband about to
 leave for parts unknown with Mrs Clarke.
 Mrs Drinkwater says that her sis- ter informed her that her husband and Mrs Clark, whose husband is said to be living in Torrington, were at the station ready to leave the city. T went to the station right away" said the woman, and there was my husband with the woman. he had nice box of candy, large bottle of eprfume and a silk coat, the latter thrown across his arm. They were going to elope, but not if I knew it. Last summer I went to this Mrs Clark and I told her to keep away from my husband.
 Down at the station to-day she claimed that she has papers which show that she was married to Mir Drinkwater twelve years ago. I have been married to him nine years and l don't think she ever knew him un- til the last few years. I only wish that had killed her, for women like her that break up homes have no right to be alive"
 !. Superintendent Beach discharged Mrs Drinkwater, but Drinkwater and Mrs Clarke were locked up.
