this kind he was able to persuade the messenger to
open the strong box.
Even the detectives whose lives have been spent in
running down express robbers yield grudging ad-
miration to the man who, without confederate or
assistant, holds up traih overawcs messenger and
crew and makes his haul successfully. There is
forceful quality in bandit capable Of such act
and he is no mean antagonist.
Crimes frequently have been committed against
express companies with the connivance active par
ticipation of dishonest messengers While the
age of the employed in this capacity is high the
opportunities offered by the position have proved too
much for with straight records, while
criminals have lived honestly for years order to
obtain such post
"The first thing to question in express robbcries
is whether not the messenger has been absolutely
square with the company" says Mr.. Pinkerton,
this phase of the subject "He is subjected strong
temptation, and by working i'll with the bandits
give them free hand while keeping an appearance
of innocence
This point arose in connection with one of the
most famous express robberies of the many in which
William A. Pinkerton and his brother Robert we're
concerned. Just before train the St. Louis and
San Francisco railroad left St Louis stranger ap-
preached the express messenger, Fotheringham and
handed him letter apparently written by the route
agent 1t directed Fotheringham TO allow the
stranger to ride with him in order to become familiar
with the duties OF the position. At Pacific Junction,
just outside the city, the stranger drew revolver
and planted the muzze at the messengers head
Fotheringham submitted and was bound and gagged
The escaped with $6S000 from the safe.
Interest added to the chase by series of let
ters written to ST Louis newspaper by the fugi-
tive and signed Jim Cummings. In these he pro-
tested against the arrest of Fotherngham, explain
ing that the letter he had presented had been forged
and that the messenger had been completely de-
ceved.

OF more serious character the robbery of an
express car on the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific

the messenger, Kellogg Nichols. When William A.

SAID Mr Pinkerton, was that the stove poker, COW

WAS NOT GOVERNOR THEN.
Dianified Chief Executive Of Missouri
as a Lawbreaker In His Col
Iege Days.

Chase Brown of Chanute has a pic
ture taken in 1892, when he was a
student at the University of Kansas,
of which he is very proud. The pic
ture shows students of the university
working out their poll tax down on
the streets of Lawrence. Among the
students whose likeness appear in the
picture is Herb Hadley, now known
by the more dignified term of Gov.
Hadley of Missouri. Through polit-
lcal row about so students were COM
PEELED to work out poll tax. The stu
dents who had to pay this tax were
each allowed to employ a couple of
helpers, and because of this the work
was soon completed. Herb Hadley,"
says Mr.. Brown, was the most OBJ
noxious lawbreaker of the whole bunch
that day. And most of the bunch
were engaged in breaking the law.
Hadley got up on a goods box and
1t is said that in language not de-
signed for parlor use told the assem-.
bled students just what he thought of
the town authorities that would COM
pei students to work out poll tax. Mr..
Brown was not of age at the time and
he was working as a helper. The
streets of Lawrence were improved
very little by the work the students
did that day. Crooked sticks, canes,
brooms and other formidable implc.
ments were used at the direction of
the street commissioners, who rather
sided with the students. The mayor
Of the town passed along the street
IN carriage and several students who
actually had shovels really filled them
with dirt, and threw the dirt into the
mayors conveyance. e."-Chanute Trib.

the application was refused on grounds
of illegality by New York State Super.

company is, however, conducting an
active educational campaign by dis
tributing 100000 pamphlets among

RARITY OF GREAT ACTRESSES
Women Singers the World Has In
Comparative Plenty, But Few
Fine Tragediennes.

Interest in Ristori is revived three
years after her death by the project
to erect memorial to the Italian ac-
tress in Friuli, her birthplace. The
memorial is to contain a decorative
tribute from every country in which
she performed, and the recent "Rh,-
tori matinee" in London was to raise
funds for an English contribution.
A great singer dies or retires and
another is found ready to take up her
roles, often disputing her supremacy
while she is still in the full tide of
her fame. The great actress leaves
a void not so soon filled. Ristori, it is
true, succeeded directly to Rachels
honors, her first appearance in Paris
in 1855 preceding but by three years
the death of the French actress. But
who is there to inherit from Ristori?
The stage has great Phedre in
Bernhard and a great Camille and
Magda in Duse. But who is there to
play Lady Macbeth as Ristori played
it in an impersonation which was the
finest since Mrs. Siddons? What young
actress Is there whose Juliet or Por-
tia, or whose Francesca, done like
Ristori's at Ia, gives promise of
first rank in tragic roles?
Nature is generous of her favors
to woman singers. Each generation
has it's Malibrans and PATHS. Why
is she so chary of endowing women
with the highest stage gifts? A host
OF women make the stage their voca-
tion, a number exceeding that of the
men engaged. There are many capa-
BILE actresses whose talents fall just
short of the highest achievement. But
the scarcity of Ristoris and Rachels,
or even of Janauscheks and Modjeskas
Ia In striking contrast with the COM
parative frequency of prima donnas n
