The city of Washington, P. C., has fcet a good example to American inii .. nicipalities in the Tree Planting; 1 matter of tree in Cities. , .. . planting:. Within Its limits there are no less than 80,000 shade trees, ant! it is unnecessary to dwell on the added beauty they lend to the place. Paris has an even great er number, and it is said that .'•'(>0,000 are expended annually by the latter city in the eare of them and the set ling' out of new ones. Every street of a certain width is entitled to a row of trees on either side, every street of a certain greater width to a double row. The criticism has been made that the Paris method results in too great uniformity, but, as Mr. Charles Mulford Robinson, author of a new book, entitled "The Improvement of Towns and Cities," says it will always be a question of taste between for malism and naturalism. The cities of Italy sometimes go further than Paris in the direction of formalism, trim ming their trees to fantastic shapes. For us probably the best system is a happy medium between monotonous symmetry and the haphazard arrange ment so much in vogue on this side of the Atlantic. Viewed merely from the esthetic standpoint, there is every rea son why our American cities should give greater attention to tree-plant ing. Here in Providence there are many miles of dreary streets that ■would be "vastly" improved, as Jane Austen might say, if they were bor dered with shade trees. In the year 1900 no less than 4,000 trees were planted in New York city, under the auspices of the Tree-Planting society of that town. Some complaint has arisen over the deadly effect of escap ing gas upon the roots, but very few trees, comparatively, have perished from this cause. Providence is behind many American cities in the planting of shade trees. Next fall a thousand might easily be set out here without tilling a quarter of all the blank spaces along our residential streets. There are startling examples of the development of this capacity in worn ... ~ . en for doing-men's \\ onu'll Doinur work. When fam- MCII'M Work. ... , , , lliestliat have been strong and prospered get, started down hill, and the men die off, or go t.o seed, or lose heart or health, it is not an uncommon thing to see the women develop under stress of circumstances a virile vigor that meets the storm and weathers it. Very able women are developed by defects in man, and <.f course when the wheel has once fallen to them and their wills have been trained to steering they will not readily give up a place that they have fairly won. Nor should they, says the Philadelphia Press. The mischief, what there is of it, has been done; let the consequences abide. The chief mischief is that, though a woman may come out strong in doing a man's work, the man whose work is done for him—if there is one—is apt to come out weak. Still, it's a pretty poor ar gument when the worst it can say about woman's working is that it is bad for men. The editor of a paper in Kansas took a wife to himself the other day. lie printed in his paper the following an nouncement of the event: "For the first time we were married Wednes day. We have contemplated this step for a long time, but lack of funds has always prevented, until we finally de cided to get married and trust to Prov idence for the rest. The subscription rates of the Record will remain at the same price. Only the immediate rela tives were present at the ceremony. Our views on the money question will remain the same, only we need more of it. We will go to housekeeping in the AsquUh hyine on Second street." The farmer's boy who drifts to the city finds, in nine cases out of ten, irregular work, a clingy little room in a bail street, food that he would have disdained in his country home and ir resistible temptation to spend t very dollar which he can get hold of. The city boy reaching the country finds just as hard work and longer hours, but work in the fresh air and sunshine, with comfortable surroundings, good food and all the. social standing of which his character makes him worthy. THE .THIRD PARTY PROJECT.

It may l»o assumed also that he intends to use the- new organization as a check upon (he element in the demo cratic party which is opposed to mak ing him again a candidate. .Nobody who has watched the con duct, of Mr. Hryan since 1890 will seri ously regard assertions to the effect that he is no longer seeking to main tain his continuous candidacy. lie is as surely looking and working for the nomination in .lUO4 as he was looking and working for the nomination in 1900, four years ago. Hut he sees a growing disposition within his party to put him on the retired list, and it is but natural that he seeks to fortify himself against those who would cast out Hryanism from the democracy. Even Inst year, when there was opposition worth mentioning in the democratic party to the nominal ion of Mr. Hryan, he had made due provision for protection against any attempt that might have been made to turn him down in the national convention.

At llie Point of a Itev-olver ICobbrra- Secure a Hlx Kuuly ou the (.lent Trana-Con linen tal. St. Paul, Minn., July 4. —A Great Falls, Mont., special to the Pioneer- Press says: The Great -Northern Trans-Continental train Xo. :t, leav ing St. Paul Tuesday morning at o'clock, was held up at Wagner, Mont., l*)G miles east of Great Falls, at 3:02 this afternoon by three masked men who blew open the ex press iar and wrecked the through safe tli dynamite, securing $83,000. The nbbery in daylight was one of the noldcst that h ts ever occurred iu the west. One of the robbers board ed the "blind baggage" car at Hins dale, a station about 20 miles east of Warner. ile appeared to be a com mon hobo, but when the conductor discovered him at a stop almost im mediately afterward he drew a heavy Colts revolver and ordered him to re turn to the rear of the train on pen alty of instant death. The hobo then climbed over the locomotive ten der and at. the point of his revolver compelled the engineer and fireman to stop the train at a ravine a few miles east of Warner, where his eon federates, two in number, both masked, lay in wait. The hobo then compelled the fireman and engineer to abandon tne engine and firing be gan on both sides of the train as it came to a stop. Passengers on the train then began, to look out of the windows and a hrakenian alighted on one side of the train, while Traveling Auditor Doug las alighted on the outside. Both instantly became the target of Win chesters in the hands of the robbers, but both escaped without injury. A passenger on the tourist coach, who was leaning out of the window, was siruck by a stray bullet and seriously injured. To wreck the do«r of the express car with dynamite, which both the con federates that appeared from the ravine were liberally supplied, was the work of an instant. The express messenger was compelled to leave the car at the point of a rifle and the through safe was immediately dyna mited. The first charge did not break it open and four others in quick succession were necessary be fore it was forced. The robbers hurriedly gathered in its contents of specie shipments, drafts, coin and valuable negotiable paper and re treated, keeping the train crew and passengers off at the point of their rifles. All three disappeared in the ravine and were seen later, one mounted on a bay horse, one upon a white horse, one upon a buckskin, heading south ward at a furious gait, the booty be ing plainly visible in a sack thrown across the saddle bows of the rider upon the buckskin horse. St. Paul. Minn., .July —A special from Great Falls, Mont., says: The ' three men who held up the Great Northern trans-Continental west bound express near Wagner, 106 miles east, Wednesday afternoon, will probably be captured before morning. Sheriff Griffith, with a posje of 20 men, has surrounded them at "Buck" Allen's ranch, about 40 miles south of Wagner, near the edge of the old Fort Helknap reservation, on the west fork of the Poutchett river. The posse followed the bandits all yester day afternoon finding signs of them at a ford on Beaver Creek and again where they crossed the Dry Fork. Information received here from Havre is that neither Travaling Audi tor Douglass, of Clancy, Montana, or Brakeman Whiteside was hit in the fusillade from the bandits at the time of the robbery. Gertrude M. Smith, of Tomah, Wis., a passenger in the tourist car, who was shot in the arm, was attended by a surgeon who found that she had sustained only a flesh wound. This was treated and bandaged and she continued her journey to Seattle. It is probable that the estimate of the loss of $53,000 is somewhat ex cessive. It is probable not over S~O,- 000 was secured. Information con cerning the consignee of the money in the through safe is obtainable. It is understood that a considerable part of the money was in the shipments west from Chicago banks and other, financial institutions. i I»lc
