The tas.-el is a.bunch of green foliage fourteen inches in length and eight inches thick. The top of the bunch was simhar in shape and color to that of the common tassel. Several smaller tassels were in the bunch. There were small, green shoots, in which grains of corn were forming. Each grain had a separate husk and stalk and silks were forming about the grain. Saying that she did not want to see President Taft "hobnob" with Presi dent Diaz, ••Mother" Jones, of labor union fame, announced that she in tended to go to El Paso, Texas, to pre vent the meeting of the two presi dents. She did not say in what man ner she would try and prevent the John D. Rockefeller spent several nours one day leeently in putting Dr. W. C. Hitting, his former New York pastor, now of St. Louis, to what the oil king calls the Are test of the links." The pastor outpointed him in a goif match over the Forest Hill course in which the two as partners were defeated seven strokes. Modern housvvives are veritable Lu cretia Borgias, declared, Dr. Harvey W Wylie, head of tne United States chem istry bureau, who is attending the Na tional Convention of Pure Food and Dairy commissioners in Denver, Col. “The modern Lucretia," he said, "is here in flocks, using the telephone, handing out poison Irom the ice box, from tne broiler and the skillet and the little tins of dinner she buys when breathlessly rushing home alter ner exciting bridge games at the club. It is the duty of every woman, whether she is a housewife or not, to inform herself on the laws of hygiene. The average ice box is a charnel house, which not only holds death, but spreads it. And, too, many housekeep ers allow disorder and un cleanliness to prevail in their kitchen and larders through Ignorance or indifference. They’d rather pick out a Beethoven, sonata, read an play, or memor ize a bridge rule, than trace a pto maine to its lair and eradicate it in the interest of iamily safety.” W&ahingtoa. The geological survey issued a re port on coal produced in the United States for 1908. The figures for Ala bama are 11,004,593 tons, as compared with 14,250,454 tons in 1907. a decrease of 2,645,861 tons, in round numbers the estimated decrease in the value of the coal as compared with the year be fore was $3,750,000. During the last twelve years, the period covering the administration of Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson, the agricultural balance of trade in the United States increased from a yearly average of $234,000,000 to $411,000,000, or 75.7 per cent, ac cording to the department’s year book just made public. Reports to the navy department say that the new United States torpedo boat Flusser, one of the new boats now building for the navy, had her preliminary builders’ trial on the course off Rockland, Me. She made a speed of 31.03 knots, which makes her the swiftest vessel in the American navy. Rear Admiral C. S. Sperry,who took the Atlantic battleship fleet on its cruise from San Francisco to the Phil ippines and through the Suez canal to Hampton Roads, will be placed on the retired list. He has reached the age of sixty-two years. Heavy demands for the Hudson-Ful ton commemorative stamps are now anticipated by the postofflee depart ment and postmasters throughout the country have been notified that the department may find it impossible to expediate requisitions for these stamps. This special stamp will be issued in sheets of sixty instead of one hundred, the regulation number. Alarmed regarding the permanency of their state papers and other valu able docunu nts, the leading govern ments of the world, headed by the United States, are seeking paper of as nearly an indestructible a character as it can be made. This announce ment was made in a statement by the department of agriculture, which was prepared by F. P. Veitch, chief of the leather and paper laboratory, bureau of chemistry on “The Need for Good Paper.” Confirmation of the story that Gov ernor Blackburn, of the Panama ca nal zone, is about to resign to return to Kentucky, was given out by JJames Blackburn, his brother. It is an nounced that the former senator will bring a fine Arabian stallion back with him and establish a breeding farm in Kentucky. The naval yacht Elfrida has been turned over to the state of Norjh Car lina for the use of its naval brigade. The Elfrida has been for some time in use by the naval brigade of Con necticut and is used almost exclusive ly for this purpose. Think of the future improvemetns and not of past decay.

BOLD TRAIN ROBBERY Lone Bandi* Makes Daring Hold- Up of Train in Pennsylvania. TAKES PENNIES; LEAVES BOLD Robber Carried Away Great Loads of New Lincoln Pennies, Thir.king They Were Gold Coins. Lewiston, Pa.—One of the most au dacious and startling hold-ups of a railroad train in the oast for years, occurred on the eastern slope of the Allegheny mountains, when' a lone highwayman stopped a Pennsylvania Railroad express train with a dyna mite cartridge, and, at the point of a revolver, compelled the crew to carry thousands of dollars in coin and bullion from an express car to a spot in the wilderness. When the conductor of the train at tempted to interfere with the robber’s plans, he was shot in the hand, and the bold bandit succeeded in making good his escape. In the darkness, however, he mistook a bag contain ing ten thousand new Lincoln pen nies for gold coin, and staggered away with it, leaving the real gold bullion to be recovered by the rail roaders. When the news of the robbery reached the railroird and express com pany officials they were deeply con cerned at its boldness, and immediate ly ordered every availanle detective from the east and west to tne scene in an effort to capture the robber. Bloodhound were also put on his track, but no trace of the man has been found. The looted train was made up of an engine, three express cars and two sleeping coaches, filled with passen gers. it was running through Lewis ton narrows, a wild and lonely moun tain gorge, througn wnich Hows the Juanita river, when suddenly a dyna mite cap was exploded, and the en gine driver brougnt tne train to a standstill. When he looked out to see what the trouble was, he was confronted by a masked ngure, hom ing a revolver in either hand. "Are there any mail cars on this train?" demanded the highwayman. "No," was the reply of the startled engineer. The engine crew was then forced at the point of the gun to accompany the robber to the first express car, where the messenger was looking out to discover the cause of the sudden stopping of the train. A revolver was pointed at the mes senger’s head and threatening to blow up the car with dynamite, the robber forced the messengers of the two express cars and engine crews to carry all the gold and bullion stacked in the first car to the side of the track. Conductor Pffenberger of Harris burg, Pa., who came up while mis wont was being accomplished, was or dered back by the oandit, wno emp tied one of his revolvers at him, one of the shots penetrating his hand and the otheis grazing ms body. Despite tne appearance of three passengers, who nau oeen awakeueu by the shooting, the robber calmly ordered the crew back on the train, and compelled them to steam away, leaving tne bullion beside the track. It was discoveied iaier by a po»se sent on a special train. When the tram was leaving, he call ed out: "Goodby and &ooa luck; i hope to see you again." iNo clew to the rouber's identity has yet been discovered. He is described as being about o feet 8 inches in height, and was dressed in dark dom ing, and wore a slouch hat, pulled well down over nis eyes. He nad a slight foreign accent. Agent Hainaker of Lewiston sent a safe to the scene of tne ronoeiy m receive six bags of pennies, on which the seals had not oeen broken, but which had oeen cut open witn a sharp kniie to ascertain the contents, and abandoned by tne robber in uis gust.
