How She Lost Her Maid. Clara Bello, in one of her notable letters, says: Speaking of humbug, a Fifth avenue belle's maid, a trim pretty creature, suddenly disappeared recent ly: and it was a wonder, because the girl was well paid in proportion to her good looks—for it is deliriously swell now to have a pretty body ser vant She had not seemingly been dissatisfied with her work or wages. Her employer feared that some senti mental harm had come to her, and charitably went so far as to hire a pri vate detective to hunt her up. Where do you think he found her? She was an advertising exhibit in a hair wash establishment There is a boom on n that industry. Phenominally long haired women are posed in the win dows of stores where hair tonics are on sale, and competition is hot. The comely maid had luxuriant tresses, which grew so heavily and rapidly that she went periodically to a hair dresser to have them cut short. "How much wages do you get?" he asked her. "Twenty-four dollars a month," she replied. "I can get you double that," he said, "and nothing at all to do except to be admired. Oh, dou't be alarm cd—there's no harm in it. Messrs. Blank and Co., the well-known makers of Cerulian Glory, want to boom their stuff. You are just the girl they de sire. You will have your hair shaved close. Then they will show you free ly to their customers, telling them that you lost your hair years ago by fever, and had given up all hope of re gaining it; you have tried many per parations in vain; they are goiug to experiment on you. Your hair grows fast and fine—it is on view from day to day—it becomes a marvel—the fame of it spreads by word of mouth, and by the time your head has re gained its usual beauty they have sold 1,000 extra bottles of Cerulian, and you have received three months' extra wages, See?'' She saw; and that was how the Fifth avenue belle lost her pretty maid. Another Art Craze.

Address, THE EMPIRE NEWS CO., Syracuse, N. Y. Miscellaneous News. A Daring Train Robber. A Lake Shore Messenger Shot, Gagged and bound, and the Safe Robbed. FRANKFORT, N. Y., March 31.—Ex press Messenger Leake, who was rob bed between Clark's Mills aud Frank fort last night, reached here about mid night and was able to proceed to the office of Drs. Skiff & Richards, where his wound was dressed. He was shot iu the upper part of the right arm, the ball passing around the shoulder, caus ing an uuly wound. The doctors prob ed for the ball, but were unable to lo cate it. Leake endured the operation heroically, without chloroform. He was weak from the shock aud loss of blood, but walked to the station and took the 3.30 a. m. train for Albany, on his way home to Sharon Springs. He stated to a reporter that soon after his train left Clark's Mills a man entered his car through the side door, which he shoved back, saying as he entered, "Throw np your hands." Leake did not realize for a moment what was up, and failed to comply with the demand. The intruder there upon leveled his revolver at the messen ger and shot him. Leak fell to the floor of the car, and his assailant said : "Now, you, when I tell you to hold up your hands again you'll do it, won't you ?" The assailant then pro ceeded to bind the hands and feet of Leake, and put a gag in his mouth. One of his legs the robber tied to the safe. The desperado then took a bunch of keys from the pocket of the messen ger and unlocked the safe, which he rifled of its money packages. The a mount secured is believed to be between S7OO and SBOO. The robber left the car at the Delaware,Lakawanna and West ern railroad crossing. Before leaving the car the robber said to Leake:—"lf you say anything about this I'll come back and kill you." The messenger re plied: "You wouldn't rob a man and kill him too would you?" "Yes, I would,"said the robber,as he left. Leake tried to free himself, but did not suc ceed. At Uticahis car was opt-ned and he was freed from his uncomfortable po sition. At this place it was decided that he had better stop over and have his wound attended to. The messenger says his assailant was a large, strong man, wearing a mask that hung down over his chest* His hair was cut very short at the back and his hands were callous and dirty. i for Infants and Children.

Five Men Injured, Two of Which are so terribly Burned that their Lives are Despaired of. ERIE, Pa., March 31.—A serious and perhaps fatal boiler explosion occurred this morning in the l>oiler works of T. M. Nagle, in which Edgar L. Sturte vant, of Cleveland, Ohio, inspector for the Hartford steam boiler insurance company; Patrick Kelly. William Mc- Cloud, James Welch and A. L. Murphy of this place, were injured. The lives of the first three are dispaired of. A hydraulic test of a twenty-horse power boiler has just been made and it was fixed up for the purpose of getting UD steam pressure. The gauge marked 140 pounds and Inspector Sturteyant was looking into the fire box when the Hue plate gave way .and superhead steam rushed out, enveloping the Inspector and Kelly and McCloud and burning them most frightfully. There is not a spot on Kelly's body as large as the palm of his band that is not raw. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.
