Would you prevent crimes, then cause the
laws to be clear and simple. Make the laws
to favor not so much classes of men, but men
themselves. Would you prevent crimes, then
see that enlightenment accompanies liberty.
The evils that flow from knowledge are in
inverse ratio to its difusion the benefits di-

NERVY THUGS
One Man Answers Inquiry Through
Speaking Tube-knocks Inter-

Revolver

[By Associated Press. I

AUBURN, Cal, Sept. GA daring
holdup and robbery took place at the
store of George G. Hepburn at Apple
gate. about $3.50 o'clock last night.
The postoffice, which is in the store,
was robbed of $125 and 5000 was taken
from Hepburn.
Two men entered the store, one by
the front door and the other from the
rear. The leader, who was evidently
an old hand, wore a mask.
AS soon as they entered they turned
down the lamp that was burning and
covered Hepburn and one of the clerks
with a revolver and marched them be-
hind the counter and made them
stand up with their hands up and faces
to the wall.
They robbed the postoffice of $125
and then went through the pockets
of Hepburn. They then secured 5000
from Hepburn's safe.
Just then Mrs Hepburn called
through a speaking tube from the
house to inquire why her husband did
not come home, and one of the thugs
answered "Oh, don't bother us now;
we are busy here"
The strange voice created concern
and another clerk, w. Fl. Stokes, who
was at the house, rushed to the store
to investigate.
As soon as he came into the store
he was struck on the head with a re-
yolver and knocked down. The rob-
bers then went through his pockets.
They then marched the three men
down the track toward Auburn about
a mile and set them free, telling them
to walk back slowly.
Stokes ran back as fast as he could.

THE CAST

A r THE Auditorium last night those

tune" were treated to the somewhat
unusual spectacle of Hope Langham
who ran away with the play. Not that
Hope isn't what actors call good
part for she is. Ordinarily, however,
the assertive Americanism of Clay, the
heroic exploits into which he is driven
by the playwright and the everyday
manner in which he carries them off
so capture our imagination that we
have little time left for a slip of a
girl who is interesting merely because
she appreciates the good qualities of
the young civil engineer as we do.
Last night all this was different.
Clay took a back seat. Perhaps this is
due, In part, to the fact that we have
come to take Mr.. Stones excellence in
a role of this sort for granted, so that
he no longer surprises us. 1t was due
more, however, to the fine naturalness
of Miss Florence Oakley's acting. l
have seen several Hope Langhams. l
never have seen one who seemed SO
completely the embodiment of the
character as Miss Oakley was last
night. She handled the part simply,
without affectation. She played it with
a girlish exuberance of youth, the true
Joy of living an blowing. She pre-
sented no allurements of coquetry;
merely the wholesomeness of clean
minded American girl. unafraid and
unashamed. Hope Langham is by all
odds the best realized role Miss Oakley
has given us since the Stone season
opened.

Mr.. Stones impersonation of the
American civil engineer, soldier of for

of Olancho." has been seen here on
previous occasions and is, perhaps, too
we'll known to require much comment.
He acts the role with distinction and
with an ever present sense of humor
that serves to bridge many crevasse
in the dialogue and situations.
Several of the supporting roles are
played with notable excellence, particu-

ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. 22.-The
cholera dead are being inferred at
Preobrazhenskoe. which is about one
hour distant on the railroad from st.
Petersburg.
A train of several coaches carrying
the mourners and a dozen freight cars
with the dead in rude coffins goes daily
to the place.
The scenes are heartrending in the
chapel where service is conducted un-
interruptedly night and day.
The scarcity OF grave diggers has
caused a painful delay in the past few
days, 150 coffins containing bodies now
being stored in the adjoining wood
shed.
Several of the mourners have been
waiting their turn for several days.

ally lives at the Alexandria.
At that hotel last night it was stated
Goodwin had not registered there for
several days, in fact, not since last
week. 1t was said by friends in Ven
ice that probably the actor-miner is in
San Francisco, and they considered it
unlikely he would arrive in Los An
geles or Venice for several days.
While he was not particularly COM

friends knew the breach between
Goodwin and his wife was such that
they would not, in all probability, ever
be reconciled.
