The fireman was ordered back to out off the engine, mail, baggage and ex- press cars, which pulled down the track some distance. ewton was ordered to open the express car, which he proposed to do if the robbers would not shoot him. The leader of the gang wanted to shoot the messenger, but the others made him desist. Dynamite was exploded on the safe, com- pletely wrecking it and blowing out the #ide of the express car. After fruitl attempts to secure any booty the robbers cut off the engine and ran further west They deserted the en- gine in motion and escaped The conductor followed the engine, cateh- ing up at Booo, where it had stopped on the level track. The operator was aroused and informatlon wired to headquarters, the conductor returning with the engine.

Petitions signed by hundreds of tax- payers have been cried requesting President Loubet to pay Chartran out of his own money. The petitions state that the signers have no objection to certaln necessary in- ternational demonstrations of good feeling from people to people, but the buying of Iittle personal presents among the elected representatives out of the public moneys constitutes an act which would be unbecom- Ing even in a monarch Attention is called to the fact that Mrs. and Miss Roosevelt have no more official existence than any of Mr. Roosevelt's cous- ins,_aunts or sisters. When the news was first cabled that President Roosevelt had expressed the opinion that it was useless for the French government to decorate Ad- miral Dewey and General Miles with the Leglon of Honor, the press of Paris almost unanimously lauded that message as a fine example of American simplicity and disdain of the tinsel wherewith European nations governed their subjects or citizens. When President Roosevelt denied the statement several days later everybody expressed dis- appointment to find him unequal to the pop- ular democratic idea.

PLANS FOR PRESBYTERIAN General Assembly Will Have a Busy Session at New York, IMPORTANT QUESTIONS TO BE DECIDED sfon Holds Most Interest, * Matters Connected with Church Work Will Get Attention. NEW YORK, May 11.—“What dis chile wants to know is,”" sollloquized the colored brother after he had narrowly escaped drowning, being pulled from the string piece by a bite of unusual strength, “what dis chile wants to know Is dis: Is this nigger flshin’, or is dat fish niggerin'?" The experience of Walton's disciple will be repeated, it Is feared, In the case of some of the commissioners to the Presbyterlan General Assembly, which meets In this city next week. If the present program of de- bate and entertalnment goes through with- out a hitch, visitors will scarcely know whether they are performing a duty to the church or enjoylng a vacation. Real and lasting impressions will be made upon those who attend the formal meetings of the as- sembly in the Fifth Avenue church. The sermon by Dr. Henry C. Minton will never be forgotten by those who. hear it; the ex- cltement of the hour given to the election of a moderator will enliven many a home and soclal circle as the experiences are re- lated to interested hearer; the stirring re- ports and addresses on the work of the elght boards of church will bear fruit in many a prayer meeting, Sunday echool and church service during the year to come. Incidents related here will be repeated In every state and territory on the continent and many of them will cross the sea as the mieslonaries return to thelr lonely fields in heatheén lands; the creed revision discussion will mark an epoch in many a lite, as min- isters and elders not accustomed to the heavy clash of arguments and the dellcate play of repartee, listen to the debate on this important issue. Some Entertainment Features. But human nature being what it ls, it is safe to say that the social features con- nected with the coming assembly will not leave a fleeting Impression. Not to speak of meeting in the metropolis of the coun- try, being entertained for the most part in finely appointed hotels, there will be recep- tions and excursions sufficient to satisty a man simply on pleasure bent. Beginning with Friday, the day after the opening, the fine roums of the Home and Forelgn boards in the Presbyterian bullding are to be in- spected freely, and a committee of ladies will see that no one is a stranger after he enters the bullding. Everything in and about the headquarters of the boards will be shown, except the mortgage of two or three hundred thousand dollars still resting upon the building; the strangers will find no debts hanging about the boards, and the mortgage debt on the buflding has been materially reduced during the last year. On Saturday, at noon, luncheon will be served in the American Tract soclety build- ing; It s fot probable that maty of the commissioners have ever taken their din- ner twenty-four storfes above the street. From the Tract bullding; near the city hall, the commissioners and their friends will go to the New York university, ten or twelve miles distant. It is understood that Miss Helen M. Gould will assist Chancellor Mac- Cracken in the reception of the visitors. A boat race on the Harlem, a ball game on the campus and an Inspection of the Hall ot Fame are among the rival attractions. The second Saturday the commissioners will visit Princeton and on the following Monday will go up the Hudson on one of the Albany Day Line boats. 'The great re- ception of the weck will be that tendered with John Wanamaker Dr. Arthur J meeting, May 21, as presiding officer and Brown, now "u his way home from the Philippines, China and India, as the chiet speaker. Mr. Wanamaker has become deeoly interestes in mission work at Alla- habad and other places in India which he has recently visited, and he will give an account of the impressions made upon him by the mission workers in that empire. Work of the Revistonists. The revislon committee appolnted last vear has held three stated meetings, each lasting about ten days; subcommittees have also been at work between the regular meetings and numerous conferences have been held by members of the committee In prevaration for these smaller and larger meetings, so that it is fair to say that few committees have ever under- taken a great task with a deeper realiza- tion of the responsibilities resting upon it or the need of unity of agreement if the object of its appointment is to be carried out. A divided committee on this subject might succeed, but it is not likely. To bring about a united action has been the purpose of the leaders In the movement. two members of the committee live In Princeton, one a seminary professor, who opposed revision at the outset, declaring that it was not an auspicious time to change the creed of the church; the other a professor In the university, who was formerly in favor of a new creed, and who has been a friend of the liberal wing in the church. As an evidence of the har- mony existing In the revision movement, it 1s sald by those who speak by the book that Prof. DeWitt from the seminary and Prof. Van Dyke, from the university have come to see together so closely that it s difficult to tell which represents the seml- nary and which is the university man. At the December meeting, held in Wash- ington, the brief statement of the doctrines of the reformed church in untechnical terms was prepared, containing sixteen articles and also a declaratory statement relating to the doctrine of election, the doctrine of elect Infants and the doctrine of good works, These tentative statements were taken up more carefully at the February meeting in Philadelphia. It is understood that the com- mittee has declded upon “a statement in reference to the third chapter of the Confes- slon, declaring that the doctrine of pre- destination is held in harmony with God's love for all mankind, and that no man is condemned except on the ground of his sin.” A second declaratory statement denies that the Presbyterian church teaches that any dying In infancy are lost, but holds that all dying in infancy are included in the elec- tion of grace. Important as are the changes in the pres- ent confession, whether by declaratory statement or textual revision, it is belleved | that the brief statement of the reformed octrines marks a still greater departure | from the contession of the seventeenth cen- tury, and opens a path for a new creed. While called & working creed and intended by the appointment of the assembly as sim- ply & popular statement, it is the fear of many conservatives that the next step will be an effort to substitute it for the West- minster confession.) Growth of the Church. The steady growth of the Presbyterian church may be seen by the following table, glving the number of ministers, churches, additions on confession of faith, communi- cants and the benevolent contributions at various periods since 1660.

Pennsylvania starts the ball with two men, both from the western part of the state, President Moffat of Washington and Jeffer- son college and Dr. Richard 8. Holmes of Pittsburg. New York has two or three, ac- cording as one counts, Dr. Wilson Pharner, in the presbytery where he votes, or the one in which he works. He still retains his membership in the Westchester presby- tery, where he did a splendid work for more than a generation. Now, at the age of four-score years, he is the assistant pastor of one of the largest churches in New Jer- sey and {s known and loved the wide world round, bhaving visited every mission field abroad and spoken in bebalf of missions, home and forelgn, in every state in the unfon. 3 Dr. Jobn Dixon, one of the most lovable of men, has unconsciously disturb the plans which friends of a popular commis- sloner were making in his behalf. Owing to officlal duties connected with the Board of Home Missions, of which he is the as- sistant secretary, Dr. Dixon was absent when the presbytery of New Brumswick elected its commissioners and selected him as one of them. Feeling that his dutles in connection with the centennlal would pre- vent his attendance as a member of the body he decided to send his commission back. Prof. Henry Van Dyke, being hls alternate, would naturally receive the com- mission. Friends of Dr. Van Dyke at once suggested his name as one of the candidates and this led to a story wholly false, but extremely annoying, to the effect that Dr. Dixon, a conservative, had surrendered his commission in order to let a liberal secure it.. No one who knows Dr. Dixon belleves for a moment that he is capable of an ec- clesiastical bargain, but nevertheless this charge was made. It is understood now that Dr. Dixon will answer that charge by accepting the appointment of the presby- tery and qualitying as a commissioner. Dr. Vaa Dyke, in the meantime, drops out of the race for the chiet honor, . Omaha Has a Candidate. Other names mentioned are those of Dr. Howard Duffield of this city and Dr. David R. Kerr of Omaha.

OLD STORY OF REJECTED STONE Play Turned Down by Every Manager Parent’s Duty =To His Child Just what a parent’s duty is, depends, primar 1* ly, upon whether that parent is savage or civilized. The simple duty of a savage or semi-barbarous parent is to see that its child is fed occasionally, and partly clothed, but, just here the obligation ceases. The civilized parent has greater responsibilities; his child must be fed, clothed and educated; it must be supplied with all sorts of The civilized parent must also see that any physical deformities of his child are corrected early in life. Modern Dentistry imposes a new duty upon the civilized parent, for he must see that the child's teeth are looked after, to prevent un. sightly effects in after years. toilet requisites, that the savage would not know how to use. The progress of human knowledge constantly adds to the duties and responsibilities of the civilized parent. The latest discovery of science is, that the par- ent can prevent future baldness in the child, if proper care is taken in time. The entire medi. cal world now knows that a germ, or microbe is the cause of dan. druff, falling hair and baldness. Prof. Sebouraud of Paris, an eminent European authority, has lately discovered that this germ begins its work in the scalp of the child, and that its presence is unknown, until dandruff begins to appear. Dr, Sebouraud’s exact words, as reviewed in La Nature, by Dr. Cartas, are as follows: <«Baldness is a contagious disease caused by a microbe. So far from being a disease of old age, it is an affection of youth. It begins in the young, and increases, whether rapidly or slowly, up to the fiftieth year.” To iterate, please note that baldness is a contagious disease; that microbe, causing it, usually begins work in the scalp of .the child, and that its presence is unknown until dandruff makes its ap- pearance, therefore, parents should teach their children to avoid public towels, public hair-brushes, etc. At the first appearance of dandruff Newbro’s Herpicide should be applied, This Preparation is a newly discovered scientific germicide, that absolutely destroys the filthy scalp parasite, whose continued presence means future baldness. In addition to its wonderful germ destroying property, Necw bro’s Herpicide is one of the most delightful and refreshing hair dressings imaginable. It stops falling hair; cures scalp trouble generally, and is a delight to persons of refinement, who regard it as a toilet necessity. See Window Displays in the Following Drug Stores !

LONDON, May 10.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—OWing to the complaint that the actor-managers gave new dramatic talent no chance, George Alexander and Beerbohm Tree recently oftered to produce, free of expense, any play chosen by a committee of the Play- goers’ club. Upwards of 500 anoiymous manuscripts were sent to the committee, which decided on “The Finding of Nancy” as the most presentable one turned out. This play, by Netta Syretta, had been declined by every manager in London. It was pro- duced at the St. James theater on Thurs- day and met with Instantaneous success. It is a play of motive and conversation rather. than actlon, the heroine being @ hard-working typewriter, who finds her affioity in & married man with a drunken wife. An arrangement is made between them, but her fancy strays to another admirer, finally to revert to her original lover, now become & widower. The clever- ness of the play lies In its unforced realism and it 1s declared to be the finest essay in problem drama since “The Second Mrs, Tanqueray.” The result of the production apparently justifies the grievance of ‘‘the Great Unplayed.” FRENCHMAN OUTRIDES LAWSON ¥» His Defeat to Is and & American Jockey I Two Bad Wet Track.

PARIS, May 10.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—John Lawson ascribes his defeal in the bicycle race by Jacquelin to two bad falls and the wet track. His injuries, though slight, are evi- dently painful. Never was a race ridden under such dramatie weather, The black overcast of the heavens seemed to announce the end of fhe world. Occasionally tem- pestuous gusts swept the track wildly and then it rained ‘and poured. Nevertheless the 22,000 spectators patiently watched and cheered the plucky Lawson, who refused to have the race postponed, though he was burt in the first heat. This was raced anew and Jacquelin's terrific spurting powers proved too much for the American, who was beaten two lengths. In the second beat the cement track Was like a river.

THE HERPICIDE CO., DETROIT, MICH. _ NEW YORK, N.Y. WINDSOR, ONT. A Single Bot- tle Convinces. Miss M. A. Gibson of th Metarie Clab omy g 4 ot oo o i JHE woman who travels contin- -I- ually, whether on business or pleasure, frequently hazards her health. The nervous excite- ment of catching trains, hurrying here and there, sleeping in cold beds and hastily eating illy prepared meals will even break down the health of the strongest man. The highly sensitive organism of a woman needs much leisure and quiet, plenty of sleep and the proper nutriment or the debt will be paid by continual menstrual suffer- ing and an early grave. There are thousands of- women like Miss Marion A. Gibson, of 47 Hoyt Street, Brooklyn, N. Y., who go into business and travel a great deal of their time. These women know full well the trials they undergo. Out on the road they do not have the opportunity to care for themselves as they would have at home. Miss Gibson uses Wine of Cardui and keeps in perfect health despite the inconveniences and dangers of traveling. She is the secretary of the Metarie Literary Club of Brooklyn, N. Y., and her letter is the experience of a highly intelligent woman and will be gladly received by her unfortunate sis- ters who need the competent advice she gives. She writes : “As a large part of my time is speat in travel Loften suffered with the discomforts of chilly beds and poor food. Frequent colds wettled in the pelvic organs and produced some bladder trouble. 1paid little atteation to it at first but soon found that I needed the cholce by securing a bottle of Wine of Cardui and getting relief from suf- fering. Miss Ada Shaw, of Phoenix, Miss., has made the choice you should make and she joins' Miss Gibson in praising Wine of Cardui in the follow- ing letter: medical attention. At the time I was miles away from a physician and as the friend with whom I was visitiog had some Wite of Cardul in the house she recom- mended that I try it, and while I had little faith in it I soon found that it brought good results and kept taking it for six weeks and found then I was cured. I am never with- out it now and I am glad to recommend it.” This article appears in this paper to- day to tell you directly that Wine of Cardui will relieve the suffering of sick women. It regulates menstruation and restores health to women who know they are weak but do not believe that it is possible to be strong and healthy. Miss Gibson can travel and not suffer because she has a remedy that keeps menstruation regular and preserves her health and energy. How much more interest she takes in her club only she and her associates know. But we all know she is a useful and active woman instead of a sufferer. You can make “I was a great sufferer of female troubles, 1 tried every doctor in this country, but none did me any good. Last week I couldn't move any further than some one would move me. 1 got a dollar bottle of Wine of Casdul and a package of Thedford’s Black~ Draught and took it.
