Young Polish Woman Polls Thugs At-

New York. May 2G.-Only the quick wit and courage of a Polish immigrant girl prevented three thugs from carry ing to a successful conclusion one of the most daring highway robberies ever attempted on the streets of New York. In broad daylight. at First ave nue and First street. one of the most thickly populated sections of the city, the three desperadoes waylaid three messengers of the Jefferson bank and after trying to blind them with snuff used knives and blackjacks in a des- perate effort to get possession of s43,- O00 which the messengers carried.
 That the highwaymen did not suc- ceed is due almost wholly to Mrs. Eva Javornicka. twenty-one years old. waitress. While hundreds witnessed the affair. Mrs. Javornicka was the only one who went to the assistance of the struggling messengers. who. strange to say. were unarmed. Time and again the leader Of the band tried to reach the woman with his knife: but. un- dsunted. she returned to the task of helping the messenger who was the object of his attack.

 The divorce provides that Mrs. Van derbilt may marry during the lifetime of Mfr Vanderbilt. but prevents him from marrying during her lifetime. Tie custody of William H.

OREYING THE LAW.

Senator Tillman is useful sena
tor-at times. His lecture tours also
serve public purpose e-sometlmes.
Last fall and winter he was out in
Oregon and adjoining states on chau-
tauqua assignments. Of an ineuiring
nature, he conversed with the natives
regarding conditions there. Vast tracts
he noticed, were unsettled and he ask

railroad land grants held out of market
because the timber on them was rapid
ly increasing in value. He learned,
also, that the terms of the grant re-
quired the railroad to sell the land at
not to exceed $3.50 an acre and not
more than a quarter section to each
purchaser.
So when congress met Tillman got
out his pitchfork and pitched in a
resolution directing the attorney gen.

and restore the lands to the public do

after this eruption ofpublic sentiment
and its partial crystalization in law,
followed by stout protestations of
obedience to law, Mr.. Harriman's COM
panies are still disobeying plain in

claim these lands. In the later COS, a
period when the republican congress

years, the biggest toad in the puddle
still impudently disobeys the law, this
brief statement is Illuminating. -
