HOLD-UP At CARLIN

At 10:48 last night, telephone
message was received here from
Constable Happier saying that D.
j. Darcey's saloon at Carlin had
been held up by two masked men.
From what we can learn, it APP
pears that the men entered the
saloon and held up the proprietor
and the bartender and took what
money they had. Another man
entered the saloon from the rear
and he was made to contribute his
loose change to the highwaymen.
In all it is said they got about $28.
The shorter of the men wore
light clothes and a dark overcoat
and carried an automatic revolver.
The other man was taller and of
medium weight He had nickel
plated revolver and seemed to be
very nervous.
After holding up the saloon,
they went to the switch engine
and cempell ID the engineer to
take them out of town toward
Elko. About two miles out, the
engine stopped and the men got
off. The engineer told the men
that No. was about due and
they might be run into and killed
= The officers searched No. 6 and
10 last night, but found no one
answering the description of the
robbers. Sheriff Harris left on
No. 5 for Carlin and is still there.
Constable Ouderkirk and Deputy
Sheriffs Elmore and McMullen
left here in an automobile about 5
o'clock this morning and returned
about 10 o'clock this forenoon.
They made a thorough search of
the canyon and other places, but
were unable to get any trace of
the bandits, further than finding
where they left the engine.
When the local freight from the
west pulled in this morning a man
was seen to get off and strike for
the southern part of town. His
actions were suspicious and Officer
Cotant followed and arrested him.
He was searched and locked up,
but nothing to indicate thar he was
one of the holdups was found on
him.

In this particular instance the German
woman-this was on the German side
who examined the contents Of my trunk
took out several articles which she
thought might be dangerous to Germany
II they were not disinfected.
When it came to my dress suit she
was sure ii needed disiufeCtion. but after

Passing Signals.

From the Buffalo ENprcss
At the investigation Of the Corning
wreck. Engineer Schroeder testified that
as recently as last spring he was repri-
manded at Mount Morris because he had
lost time between Elmira and Corning
for running slowly in a heavy fog when
caution signal was placed aginst him.
The message of inquiry. he said. had
been given to him at Mount Morris. and
was signed superintendent. Schroeder
thought all such messages were con-
s!dered by the employees as reprimands
for slow running.
This is exceptionally interesting and
significant testimony in view of the COM
mon report that engineers are obliged to
make their schedule time, even if OcCa-
sionally they have to slip past a signal
or do not slow down 4 a signal is set
against them on approaching a block
taking it for granted that by the time
they come up to the signal it will show
a free track. II has been said that il
engineers obeyed the book rules eXplic-
lilly, particularly in running through a
yard they never would get their trains
in on time, and consequently they would
quickly be laid OF

The thermometer is a sort Of yardstick
for measuring the weather.
By means of the thermemOter We can
tell whether it is hot or cold. The Their
mometer consists Of a glass tube with a
slit in it about as thin as a comic opera
plot. The tube ends in a bulb in which
a quantity of mercury is imprisoned. In
warm weather the mercury expands and
climbs TO the top OF the tube, causing
sunstrOkes, prostrations. huge ice bills
and soft butter. In cold weather the
mercury retires into the bulb like
woodchuck hunting his hole and all
traffic is paralyzed until 1t emerges again.
Before thermometers We're invented il
was very difficult to keep track Of the
weather. To end out how cold It was the
scientist had to leave his ear outside the
house. II the ear froze in a few minutes
he could safely assume that he was in
the bosom of a long. hard winter. The
thermometer. however. has put the whole
world onto the weather and has nabled
man by a mere glance at the tube OF
faithful mercury to tell whether to wear
a heavy winter cane or a thin spring
stick.
The thermometer Invented by a Mr..
Farenheit is in general use in the United
States. while the Centigrade, COmpct-
ing brand. is in high favor in Europe.
The Fahrenheit thermometer has $50 de-
grees between freezing and boiling, while
the Centigrade gets along with only 100.
1t is very difficult to translate Cent?
grade figures into United States. and
many tourists have frozen to death in
very mild weather in Europe because
they were unable TO understand the Cen
tlgrade thermometer.

Justice May Be Defeated After All.

The release of Schepps, Rose, and
the other chief witnesses against
Police Lieut. Becker and his con-
victed assassins increases the burden
OF responsibility resting on the New
York Court of Appeals. If it grants
new trials. justice may be defeated be-
cause it is impossible for the district
attorney to keep these indispensable
witnesses locked up for a year or more
until the higher court passes on the
appeals, and it will probably be i'm
possible for him to gather them to-
gether again, should the action of that
court make it necessary for him to at
tempt to do so.
They probably will all leave the juris-
diction of the court. and whatever I'M
derstanding the district attorney may
have with them now about the future
is not likely to be OF much service
in the case of a new trial. This is
a difficulty the prosecutor always la
bors under when trials are long de-
layed. or when second trials are or
dered after an interval of a year or
so. 1t will be especially marked in
case like this, with witnesses suscepti-
bic TO the influences surrounding these

4 HcrnIdic Monkey.

From tho New YoTk Prss.
A list of the animals having a place in
heraldry would embrace not only all the
weII-known beasts, but many weird and
impossible creatures. such a : uniCorns.
Griffins and dragons. But SO far as IS
kpown. there is but one instance of the
monkey : admission into the select circle.
Three monkeys figure IN the Leinster
Coat-of-arms They stand with plain COL
lar. chained. The motto IS "Crom-a boo
which means to victory" This device
was adopted in the year 1875 by John
FitZthomaS Fitzgerald. and an interesting
story attaches thereto.
1t appears that when this Earl OF
Leinster was an infant he formed one OF
the residents of Woodstock. now pertain
inp- to the Marlborough family. There was
a fire il the castle, and in the ensuing
confusion the child was overlooked When
he was remembered. those who dashed
t. the nursery found it in flames. The
child was, however, soon found in one
CT the towers. CIasped in the arms Of q
EIC ape, which. with considerable Cour-
age. had fought its way through the
smoke and flames in order to rescue its
young friend. II had carried the child
t. the top Of the towers, which, its in
tciligence told it. was the safest place in
the burning structure.
In recognition OF this act Of devotion
the earl. when he attained manhood, aC-
tualIy discarded the family COat-Of-arms
and adopted the monkeys for his crest.
and the family has retained it to this
gay.

Mr.. MacVeagh Taboos Tipping.

Economical persons will be glad to
hear Of the stand taken by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury with regard to
tipping, which is one of the nuisances
against which the Federal government
also has to run up against in its many
auditing offices. For the main part
it has been the Treasury Department. 5
thankless task, when passing on govern
ment expense accounts, to weed out
personal expenditures and to admonish
employees that it is the country's money
and not their own that they are spend
ing.
Mr.. MacVeagh's order applies specific
ally to agents of the department while
on the road. Their allowance gives
them So day for hotel expenses while
in New York or Chicago and S. a
day while in all other cities. Fifty
cents day. no matter where they may
be, is the daily allowance for tips.
The best way for the government to
regulate the tip would be to abolish
it altogether. We should see then
how much our Federal employees would
be willing to hand out for every little
service. To the man who makes a
habit of tipping, and whose business
enables him to live at frst-class hotels,
an allowance of so cents a day is
absurdly small --

thought strange?
Is a man who climbs to dizzy heights
thereby made immune to banana peel

sails above the clouds thereby gain a
sort of imprevious armor against the
beasts of the field? That's a bit like
