W WASHINGTON.-The census re.
w turns on the large cities of the
country are now complete. The fig
ures show that most of them have had
a healthy growth during the ten years
since the last count was made, but
some of them have fallen out of the
places they occupied then and their
places have been taken by other cities.
OF the many that have tried, in the
past ten years, to climb into the
lOO,O class, only five have succeeded.
Among the ten largest cities there
has been only one important change
Of position Baltimore has lost sixth
place to Cleveland Baltimore's popu-
lation, as officially stated. is 55S,4S5,
while Cleveland has 56O,663 The gain
in Baltimore over 1900 was 81 per
cent.
A comparison of 30 cities in the
100000 class shows that the aggre-
gate population is 13,596,S19, as
against 1896, OH in 1900 and 7,9O4,14O
in 1890.
The fact is noted that the high rate
of increase is not confined to any one

work of guarding the country against
contagion from abroad and preventing

But one may not always arrive at the
desired effect by the use of bows.

in appearance by building it in one

be copied or simulated, and nothing
is more fashionable than mall, COM

These examples are given here of
ribbon in unusual arrangements. In
the first a cap-like shape covered with
big velvet poppies is heightened at
the back with wired loops of heavy
satin ribbon. These bows redeem the
shape, lifting 1t from the common
place into one of those which the
French have described as the fleeting

Small Cakes for Various Occasions.
The following recipes are appropri-
ate to serve with frozen dishes or
with tea or chocolate. Many delicious
little cakes and cookies may be
bought; but no matter how ttractive
they are, one. likes the touch of indi-
viduality which is shown in cakes Of

sugar, one cup of water and a table
spoonful Of glucose. Boil until little

waxy ball. Cool and stir until white
and creamy. 1t will keep for weeks
and always be fresh for use by heat
ing over hot water. Keep the fondant
in a dish covered with Waxed paper
and tightly covered, or 1t will dry and
crumble.

LONE BANDIT LOOTED EVERY PASSENGER
ON TRAIN AND MADE GOOD HIS.ESCAPE

Ell Paso, Tex-Shortly before mid
night eastbound train No. 2, of the
Ell Paso and Southwestern Railroad,
was held up by lone bandit who
herded the occupants of the tourist
sleeper into a private car attached
TO the rear of the train, compelled
them to deposit their money and val
liable in a heap and made his es-
cape with the plunder across the de-
sert toward the mountains.
The holdup occurred one mile east
OF Robsart, N. Mex, near Corrizozo.
ct this point the robber, who had
boared the train at Corrizozo, cover
ed the Pullman conductor and brake
man with his gun, compelling them
to stop the train. Driving the men
before him, he entered the sleeping
car, awakening the occupants with
gruff command to gather their valu-
a6les together, and proceeded to the
private car of Superintendent G. F.
Hawks, in the rear.
One by one the half-dressed pas
sengers We're covered by the rob-
ber's gun as they clamored from
their berths. Taking his time, and
exhibiting remarkable GOODNESS, the
bandit carefully took an inventory
of what each bore in his uplifted

hands. The job was thorough, not
a passenger escaping, and not enc
being able to keep anything of val
ue.
When all the berths were emptied
the bandit drove his victims into the
private car, where all,including Su-
perintendent Hawks, were told to
place their property in pile ON the
floor. Still covering the crowd with
his gun, the bandit swept the plum
der into sack and backed out of the
car. AS he departed he shot out the
rear lights of the train, firing four
times.
Hastily organized posses pursued
the robber in the hope Sf intercept
ing him before he crossed the des-
-eft to the mountaiIss. tsWard which
he was headed. The passengers, who
were left destitute for the time be-
ing were cared for by the railroad
company.
Two hundred and seventeen dol
lars in cash a diamond ring and sew
eral other trinkets were all that re-
warded the robber. The railroad re-
funded to the passengers all the
money taken from them and offered
$4,000 reward for the capture of the
rObber.

carted away by teamsters at oppor-
tune times, they assert, it was first
taken to pickeries where the origi-
nal identity was destroyed and the
cotton rebaled and sold.
In all, sixteen counts are alleged
against the six persons charged with
completely. The indictments were re-
turned, but their nature or the iden-
tity Of the persons indicted were not
divulged pending the effecting or
arrests.
Cole made bond for his appear
ance and was Immediately released.
He denies any completely or know1-
edge of the alleged robberies. The
other persons indicted, it is stated,
include several men of prominence
in local business affairs besides the
teamsters who are charged with the
removal of the cotton.

ORIGINAL FLAG OF CONFEDERACY
GIVEN TO NEW YORK MASONIC LODGE

New York.-stella Lodge No. 4s5
F. and A. NJ, of this has become the
possessor of one of the rarest Con-
federate flags in existence. 1t is also
the original flag of the Confederacy,
and there is but one other like it.
The flag was captured by one of the
members of Stella Lodge, Lieut..
Stark w. Woodrow, in the battle of
the Wilderness, Sept. Is, 1864, the
battle in which he also met his death.
The flag was found on his body and
has been in possession of some mem
bers of the family ever since. Miss

the flag, said: eve accept this as

not as taint on our Southern breth-
rem, great many of whom are men,
bers of this lodge
The Historical Society has been
trying to get this flag for years, but
the Woodrow family would not part
with it.
The flag is about two feet square,
and is made up of two broad red
stripes with white stripe in the cen
ter. The field is a lighter blue than
the American flag, and the stars rep
resent the States that Joined the
Confederacy. This type of flag was
originally adopted by the Confeder-
ate States, but its similarity to the
Union flag caused SO much confusion
in battle that it was changed. 1t will
be placed in the lodge rooms in the
Masonic Temple.
