King Oscar Held Up.
King Oscar and his suite were trav
eling on the Swiss federal railway,
when at Lausanne they were asked
for their tickets, and the railway offi
cial at Geneva demanded payment
both for the fare and for excess ol
lussages, and gave the king to tinier
stand that he was in a republic wh-re
me railway passenger was precisely
1 the same footing as another.
f'n fortunately the royal pockets
,ened to be empty, and when the
j's chamberlain asked the rail-
company to apply to the consul-
) they promptly refused to do so, a
legram being produced from the
ai ad office of the Swiss government
railways raying, "Charge Oscar for
bis royal car 20 first-class tickets."
An influential local magnate came
to tTie rescue and paid the bill,
amounting to about J2no.
It Is curious to specula: e on what
vilght have happened but for the In
tervention of this deus ex machlna.
Would the railway company have
brought the royal tour to an abrupt
conclusion? Country Life.

RAILROADS IN ENGLAND.
Remarkable Records Made by Some
of the Newer Locomotives.
A writer In the Magazine of Com
merce gives Interesting details of the
new passenger locon-.t'.ves, with tome
record of their marvellous im rlot ui
nnces. The Great Western Company
lias been building eighteen entities,
which are named after oitles served
by this line. The "Cities" are a
heavier and more powerful type of
"At haras." There Is c.jod reason to
believe that the remarkable accelera
tions which the Great Woftorn main
line services have undergone during
l'JOS have been not a little due to the
splendid efficiency of the "City" tribe.
One of these engines, the "City of
Bath," accomplished the world's rec
ord long-distance run with the royal
Rpccial to Plymouth, when the Jour
ney of 245Vi miles was performed In
2.i:iV4 minutes, or at an average rate
of speed of K:5 miles en hour.
Awnhsr type 'is the "Atlantic," used
by the Northeastern ItaJVway. The
first of the batch (No. 532) has already
accompli;-hod a record. In the working

San Juan, P. B. Love and talent for
music is found In every man, woman
and child on the island, no matter
what their station or advantages.
The music of Italian opera is es
familiar to these people as It Is to
the graduate of a musical conserva
tory in the States. The lullaby a
child hears is likely to be a solo
from "111 Trovatore" or snatches from
an Italian sextet. This Is the class of
music that small boys whistle and
the girls sing to their dolls. The
mass of the people are unfamiliar
with the music of Anglo-Saxon na
tions, but know to a greater or less
extent the lighter music and recent
operas from Spain and Italy.

nies, usually direct from South

Assassination of Lieut, Larkin
Planned, Thug Confesses.
REVENGE WAS SOUGHT.
James Formfcy Admits a Scheme to
Seize Policeman's Revolver and
6hoot the Officer. Had Robbed
"L" Station In Chicago. Confes
sion Corroborated.
A plot to assassinate Lieut. James
Larkl.n of the Harrison street police
Btatlon, Chicago, was recently confess--i
by one of the six youthful bandits
held at that station In conuectt.on wlii
two murders and many holdups, says
the Chicago News. James, alas
"Llmpy," Formby admitted In the
"sweat box" that It had been agreed
among the desperadoes that the lieu
tenant be killed for revenge. The
police assort the reckless prisoner tn
telling of the plot announced that one
more death would not make their pun
ishment any greater and that they de
sired to "get even" with the man who
hud forced them to admit their
crimes.'
Almost every day for week four of
the gang Jamc3 and William Form
by, Peter Dulftr and David Kelly
have been taken from their cells sep
arately and questioned under the dl- '
reotion of Lieut. Larkin. Bit by bit
the doi.ails of the murder of John
Lane 1n a saloon holdup and the kill
ing of Conductor George Heckler in a
robbery at the end of th North
Western avenue car line ha'0 been
broughit out, say the police.
Formby Is credited with having
made two confessions which all his
companions except Kelly Admitted
were true. I'nder pressure the names
of two other members of the gang
were dflvulged, and the arrest of Har- ,
old Perry and John Palm followed In j
Indiana. Formby brooded over the fact
that he had betrayed his companions !
and finally hit upon a scheme which ,
he thought would set him right with !
hlin friends. Ills plan was to kill
Lieut. Larkin, the man who had in
duced the prisoner to confess.
The sight of a revolver protruding
from the hip pocket of a patrolman
while Fwmby was undergoing the
"sweating" process gave the young
bandit his cue by which he hoped to
secure the death of the police officer.
When oportunlty afforded he or one
of his companions was to seize a re- ;
volver from the pocket of one of the
policemen and shoot down their in
Inquisitor. Lieut. Larkin. This looked
comparatively er.y, as when the
youths were brought In to bo ques
tioned several of the policemen re
moved their coits and their revolvers
were In plain sight. Formby, In tell
ing of his latest plan to kill, assert
ed the opportunity to carry it out was
thwarted only by chance.

Tn written confessions of their
crimes by Palm and Perry to IJ'puv.
Larkin and Inspector Lavln, they tell
about the robbery of the North West
ern elevated station at Fullerton ave
nue. Perry's confession reads as follows:
"I don't know jus'i what night It
was that myself and Palm and 'Pug
gle' Case deefded to get fomc money.
We planned to hold up the elevated
station at Fullerton avenue. 'Puggie'
and I went Inside while Palm stood
guard. I ordered the cashier to hold
up his bands and he ralised one of
them. Then I told him to raise the
other. WTiile 'Puggie' stood outsude,
I went In and searched him. I took ;
nts watch and CO ceats In money. !
Then I went to the cash drawer and
found It locked. The cashier told me
the key to Its was in his vest, which
was hanging on the wall. I got the
key and got $6.50 out of the drawer.
"At this time Palm ran in from the
outside and said that a tralin was
oomlng, so we made our escape. Out
of the money taken I got $2.50. The
watch I gave to a friend that I was
living wllth."

Drug Craze Among the People.
Wellington, D. C. "An Insane de

Dr. Wiley's staff recently while Kpeak- ;

"It is true," said Dr. Wiley's assls- '

Throughout Hon. Kllhu Hoot's long
service as Secretary of War the one
subject which received his most seri

tions of the army in the field, the army

schome and the national militia pro

Owing partly to Mr. Root's persis

navy, the Marine Corps, the National
Guard and civil life, public "interest
In the subject took form In the or

Electric Lifting Magnets.
Though there would seem to be lit
tle difficulty 'in constructing an electric-magnet
for lifting heavy pieces
of Iron and steel, few manufacturers
have been successful ;:hus far In pro
ducing theie appliances 1n commercial
form. A Cleveland concern has turn
ed out a number, however, and a Bel
gian company claims now to have a
prrfoot electro-magnet for use in roll
ing mills and similar works.
But the use of th'.s device, the ropes
and chains heretofore necessary In
lifting heavy weights hava been abol
ished. The crane-driver simply lowers
the magnot upon the piece of metal to
be lifted, excites it by the switch, and
when the mngnot 1s In action raises
It with Its load. Only two or three
seconds are required for sensitizing
the magnet, sx that the raving of time
Is enormous, one crane doing the work
of several cranes under existing con
ditions. In the Bolglan system the actual
magnet is protected by a metal bell,
which enables it to be used In lifting
hot metal, thus making it valuable In
foundries and rolling mills.
Canada Wants Americans.
Washington. It is probable the at
tention of the Britten government will
be directed bo a movement conducted
offidiially by the Canadian govern
ment to induce immigration from the
United States to the North western
Territory. There can be no object
fcion to amch efforts on the part of pri
vate agencies, but when, as in this
ease, the government Itself seeks to
attract citizens of other countries, the
matter Is one which calls for official
remonstrance.
It appears that tho Domlnlion De
partment of the Interior, through one
of Its Assistant secretaries, has been
sending broadcast throughout the
Northwestern States circular letters,
addressed mainly to clergymen, pro
fessional men and persona of Influ
ence, describing In glowing terms the
splendid resources of the Canadian
Northwest, and InvUIng Immigrants
by the offer of 160 acres of land for
each free school and sound Jaws. At
