1t is an almost startling development
that in delving for the facts of great
mystery the solution oft should be found.
Such is the striking feature of work un-
dertaken in preparing tor publication the
story of"The Lone Bandit of Lewistown
Narrows," which will appear in the
Magazine Section of next Sundays North
American.
Two years ago lone and unknown
bandit startled the country by holding
up and robbing one OF the fastest express
trains on the Pennsylvania Railroad in
THE Nsrrows," near Lewistown. The
very audacity ofthe performance stamped
the robbery as one OF the unique crimes
of the age. From the day 1t was com.
mitted the criminal was mystery until
after the original manuscript story of the
crime was prepared for publication in The
North American. 1t WAS in checking up
the incidents that inquiries were inspired
the answering of which furnished the
solution.
The story of the robbery is retold IN
fascinating style in the Sunday North
Americans article, and the solution that
goes with 1t is also furnished.
Because of the state wide and country
wide interest in the solution of the great
crime mystery, the demand for The
North American will undoubtedly te
enormous. Those who desire to read 1t
should order the paper we'll in advance of
Sunday.

THE general impression, that the bill
regulating the salaries of county officials
now before the legislature at Harrisburg,
is for the purpose of increasing the COM
pensation of these officials, is erroneous.
Should the bill be passed the effect would
be precisely the opposite of that, provid-
ing, as it does, that when the lees received
by any odicial do not reach the amount of
salary fixed by the bill, then the said
official shall receive just the amount of
the fees. But in case the fees overrun
the stated salary then the officers COM
pensation shall be no more than that
named in the salary bill. BY this method,
as will be seen, the compensation is apt
to be diminished rather then increased.
1t is one of those rules that doesn't seem
to work both ways.

A BILL regulating barber shops in the
interest OF health was introduced along
with lumber of other bills which are to
be included in the new health code. No
barber shop shall be used as sleeping
apartment. All mugs, brushes, combs,
razors and strops must be sterlized after
each separs use. No towel used to dry
one customers face may be used on any
other ones neck. Alum or any other
styptic must be in powder or liquid form.
The barber is required to wash his hands
after polishing off a customer: Lather
brushes must be perfectly cleansed be-
fore being again soaped up for another
operation. There is naturally some
curiosity to know how law of this kind
would affect the fellow who uses safety
razor and lets his wife cut his hair.

BIG INSURANCE CHECK
Family Of Late Architect Carrere VIII
Receive $116,00o on His Accident
Policy.

New York, March THE family Of
the late John NJ. Carrere, the archi-
tect, who died last week as a result of
a collision between taxicab, in which
he was riding, and Madison avenue
surface car, will receive from the
Travellers Insurance company check
for $4,000 on an accident policy
which Mr.. Carrere held, with the COM
pany. j. C. Patterson, resident direc-
tor of the Travellers, said that the
check would be mailed on Saturday.
Mr. Carrere took out the policy
three years ago for $4,000. Owing
70 provisions for a certain kind of ac-
cident, the amount was doubled. The
accumulations for three years came
to $4,000 and the remaining $1,000 was
allowed for hospital expenses.

POLICE GET BUSY
Authorities Of All Big Cities Notified
of Robbery of Bancroft Ronds

Of Robbery of Bancroft Bonds.
New York, March Negotiable se-
curities to the value of about $50, 900
at yesterdays prices were stolen last
Thursday in this city. The fact did
not become known until an envelope
supposed to contain them was taken
from the vaults of the Produce Ex-
change Safe Deposit company and
opened at the ofice of George Bancroft
& Co. brokers, where it was discov-
cred that the envelope contained moth
ing but copies of an evening news.
paper.
The case was reported to the police
and the Pinkertons. From the story
that was told by Aaron Bancroft, the
senior member of the firm and now in
his seth year, it would appear that the
robbery was committed in a corridor
leading to the Safe Deposit vaults to
which the elder Bancroft took the Sc
curities last Thursday.
Mr.. Bancroft says that he remem-
bered meeting two men in the corri-
dor, one of whom bumped into him.
causing him to drop the package and
his hat. The two men helped him to
his feet, he says, and one of them pick
ed up the package. In that brief mo-
ment, he believes, the substitution was
accomplished.
The Pinkertons were busy pretty
nearly all day notifying the authori-
ties in every big city about the loss
and warning people against accepting
securities as collateral.
Mr.. Bancroft is cousin OF George
Bancroft, the historian.

BILL has been introduced in the
Legislature at Harrisburg providing that
all railroads must install safety gates at
grade crossings iu cities and towns in the
State. The penalty for failure to provide
these appliances is $500. These must
cover the full width of the roadway and
be closed when trains approach within
100 feet of the crossing. For failure to
operate them properly the bill provides
for fine of $50 A law of this sort rigidly
enforced would be very proper enact
ment, but in days of yore such bill was
called "pincher," and after the progen-
stor had been "seen," the proposition was
dropped from the calendar.

WHAT ridiculous thing it is when you
think it over that the United States Sem
ate, justly esteemed and greatest legisla-
tive body in the world, not even except
ing the Pennsylvania Legislature, should
at the very close of the session, when It is
literally jsmmed with business of the
greatest public importance, should tie
itself up on the question of whether a
notoriously rotten politician should retain
purchased seat in that body! Such
things would be laUghsole were they not
tragical. al.-Punxsutawney Spirit.
