personalities in English pubic life to-
day AS a trembling urchin of nine
he was driven by sheer starvation to
seeh refuge in workhouse. In
later years he had the satisfaction Of
becoming. chairman of the same
board of guardians that had sent him
to the workhouse as a child.
When only eleven years old he was
apprenticed to a blacksmith When
fourteen he was earning only $3.50 a
week at the smithy. Then he chang
ed to the trade of cooper and served
a seven-year apprenticeship. Then
in 1876. being prominent in some
small trade dispute, he lost his ap-
pointment and had to go On a tramp
searching for a livelihood
Christmas day, 1876, saw him still
tramp, without boots. without a
penny in his pocket. Then his luck
took turn. BY sheer hard work he
progressed until he became a mas
ter cooper and a ruling spirit in
labor questions. His reward came
in 1903, when he captured the con-
sentative stronghold of Woolwich
and was returned to parliament with
more than three thousand votes to
spare.

Last Friday night or Saturday
morning safe blowers visited the little
city of New Plymouth and gaining en-
trance to the general store of Acker-
man & Hanigan by means Of rear
window blew the safe and secured
$50 in cash
That the work was that of protes-
,sionals there is no doubt as every
ing was done in a precise and
careful manner showing that the men
engaged in the affair we're Old hanls
at the business and knew what they
were about The door to tb safe
was blown completely OF and bent
almost double by the force OF the ex-
plosion. The explosive was poured
into the crack round the door OF the
safe by the making of little trough
Of soap on the top Of the door
Tire or four sacks o. sugar were
then Sc in -ront Of Jhe safe coor to
assist in deadening The sound.
The robbers left absolutely no clue
whatever other than a few tracks in
the mud back OF the store near the
window where they gained their en-
trance to the store. These tracks
could only be followed short dis
tance as the footsteps then led across
vacant field where the grass and
weeds prevented further tracking.
Parties who were up all night wait
ing on sick ones report hearing a
heavy muffled explosion about 12:4O
a. m. and it is thought from this
that the safe was blown about that
hour.
The only suspicion or clue now at
hand is of one party that entered the
store or Friday afternoon and pur-
chased some cheeseand crackers and
while being waited upon took consid-
cradle pains to investigate the sur
roundings near the safe at the rear
of the store. This man could be iden=
titled by Mr.. Ackerman Of the firm
if he should see him again.
