BANK OF MONTREAL AT new

Bills Brand New-$20, 900 in Gold

New Westminster, B. Give rob
bers at 2 a m. entered the Bank of
Montreal with pass key, blew the safe
and got away with $25s,eoe in money.
Although the police of New West
minister and Vancouver profess TO have
no trace of the men who stole $3.50 600
from the branch of the Bank Of Mont
real, it is believed the men are in Van
couver and that they escaped from the
scene of the robbery in an automobile.
1t would not have been possible for
them to travel any great distance be-
fore the police were notified of the
robbery.
It will be difficult for the thieves to
pass the bills of large denominations,
Bills All New.
Not only are the bills new, but, it is
said, their numbers are on record and
any person offering one of the num-
bered bills would undoubtedly be I'M
der suspicion.
The robbed bank had an unusually
large amount of cash on hand for the
purpose of financing salmon shipments
of the canning season just closing.
Evidently the robbers knew this, and
they seem to have known every detail
of the routine of the bank and its
neighbors. One theory is that gang
of skilled men came from the east to
do the job of Swallowing.
In amount of cash taken the New
Westminster bank robbery is the big
gest in history.
Particulars of Notes.
Particulars of the notes stolen from
the bank are as follows: $4,000 taken
in $40 bills as follows: No. 492, O01 to
No. 100000, inclusive, series A, B. c

The title still exists, and though

Lord Singleton showed a certain form
of that "queerness" which was one of
the family's moods by becoming one
of the shining lights in a religious or
ganization known as the Plymouth
Brethren.
The Plymouth Brethren are distin-
guished from even the rather pecul-
lar type of extreme non-cOnformistst to
be found up and down England by
special observance. Their religious
gatherings have a good deal of the
Quietude of the Quaker service, but

tie interest in political conflict.
AS a unit the Plymouth Brethren in
England refused even to vote for a
parliamentary candidate, and often
when I have been taking part in par,
liamentary elections | have found the
Liberal agent almost driven crazy by
the fact that there were 200 or 300
Plymouth Brethren entitled to vote in
a highly contested fight, whom no per,
suasion could induce to support either
the one candidate or the other.
Early Life of ParneIl.
It was perhaps unfortunate that his
relative was a Plymouth brother and
that Charles Stewart Parnell used to
coquet with the Plymouth Brethren in
the days of his obscure youth. He
was by birth a member of the Irish
church, but he did fiirt for a while
with the Plymouth Brethren. He did
not care to talk much about that
epoch in his career, but on being
questioned about it, he half admitted
and half evaded an answer by re-
with a smile that there was
attractive about the quiet
Gde of the Plymouth Brethren serv-
ice.
When Parnell began to make him
self known and felt his opponents

quently to the many tragic episodes
in the history Of his family. A land
lord again boldly proclaimed that
every Parnell had been insane and
that Charles Stewart Parnell himself
was as mad, if not madden, than any
one OF them. And, in proof of this,
none of them were ever ashamed to
mention the tragic fact that more
than one of his relatives had commit
ted suicide.
Parnells associates had an uneasy
feeling about him, a sort of uncanny
and irresistible impression that he
must end in some tragic way.
Prediction of Poet.
the spirit of unhappy feeling about
PANEL John Boyle Reilly, the cele-
brater poet, to whom Ireland gave
birth and for whom Boston found
home and a grave, said to me as far,
back as 1881 during my first trip to
America that anyone who looked at
ParnelIs face could have no doubt
that he would have a tragic end. Par
NELL" said Boyle most emphatically,
will be hanged"
The prophecy did not sound as alb
surd then as it does now, for I'M
doubleday more than one attempt was
made TO bring Parnell to the scaffold
by his political enemies, notably when
Piggott and the London Times con
cocted the forged letter that repre-
scented him as a part of the Phoenix
Park assassinations.
When the fact that Parnell espous-
ed the cause of Captain O'Shea was
tearing Ireland to pieces, the unhappy
Irish members sat in a hotel in Dub
lin through all day and often through
all the hours of the night as well,
Finally, at the most critical moment
of the terrible fight they remained
without any tidings of Parnell, and
they would look blankly at each
others pallid faces, not daring to ut
ter the thoughts that were torturing
all of them.
Contrast of Relatives.
Really there was no occasion for
that unspoken terror, Parnell never
at any moment, even at the most des
perate, betrayed the least symptom to
that weakness which seeks escape
in suicide. His nature was far too
brave and too self-reliant for such
weakness.
He died young and he died prema-
