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.

While there is nothing in evidence
to prove that -Mr. Bryan is in any way
connected with the conglomerate
third-party movement which has been
started in Kansas City, it may be as
sumed that he knew about it before it
was begun, and that it has his sanc
tion. 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.

A New Party Has Arisen, Phoeaix Like, from the Ashes of the Old.
J[e had himself nominated by the
populists before the democratic eon
vent ion was held, and he would have
run as the populist candidate if the
democratic nomination had been given
to another.
There are doubtless good reasons
why Mr. 11ryan cannot confidently
expect to be able to use the populist
party again in 1904. One of them is
that the populists are decreasing in
number, prosperity being not at all
conductive to the spread of populistic
ideas and doctrines. Another may be
that even what may be left of the
populist party in 1904 would hardly
care to burden itself with a candidate
twice defeated in his attempt to be
elected to the office to which lie still
aspires.
A new third party, with a platform
having plunks fashioned to attract
radical Hryan democrats, populists,
socialists and every other class of
erratic would-be reformers and social
revolutionists, might successfully be
used to force Mr. Bryan for the third
time as a candidate upon the demo
cratic party. It. could pursue the
same course which the populists pur
sued last year, or else it could let it
be known that it would nominate Mr.
Bryan and run him as a third candi
date if the democratic convention
should nominate another, while, if
the democratic party did nominate
him the new party would give him
its endorsement. Mr. I ivy an would
have at his command, simultaneously,
threat and inducement, to influence
his party. There is no reasonable
doubt that the third-party movement
may be regarded as indirect notifica
tion that Mr, Bryan remains a candi
date. —Albany .Totfrnal.

H platform. The party without prin
ciples can only look on and make faces.
—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
!C"Mr. Bryan advocates the nomina
tion of Senator Ilanna as the repub

Ilanna will, no doubt, reciprocate by
advocating lh« candidacy of Mr. Bry

P'\V,,T. Bryan says that Mark Ilanna
is a typical representative of his

THE CONVENTION IN OHIC.
Everything lion** I'olnU to an In
dornciupiit of tlie Ad mini* tril
lion I'oliciea.
Two farts of national interest -were
developed by the Ohio it-ate conven
tion—the complete and undisputed
control of the republican party ma
chinery by Senator Hanna, and the in
evitable predominance of national is
sues in the coming campaign.
Coming so soon after the presi
dential election, when so many of the
questions growing out of the Span
ish-American war remain unsettled,
and taking place as it did in the
president's mvn state, the election
must necessarily turn upon national
issues. The administration has en
tered upon policies with reference to
the new insular territories which
have not. yet reached their full frui
tion. The achievements of the past
four years, as Senator Foraker said in
his speech before the convention, are
still in a large measure incomplete
and insecure. The vote in Ohio will
therefore be an indorsement or a re
pudiation of tin? administration poli
cies.
The demoreats, of course, will at
tempt to divert popular attention
from these national questions to state
issues. But. the renomination of
Gov. Nash, whose courageous stand
against prize fighting and other forms
of lawlessness commends his adminis-
tration to the solid, intelligent citi
zenship of the state, will place the
democrats at a disadvantage, even
though their efforts to deflect public
attention from national questions
should partially succeed.—Chicago
Record-Herald.
BRYAN'S FINAL EFFORT.
Indications Are That He Hope* to
ISecome a Perpetual
Candidate.
Mr. Bryan announces thatphe has
taken up a line of work and believes
he has twenty years ahead of him to
carry it on. Well, here is hoping he
has. It would, cif course, be interest
ing to know just what this line of
work is. On this point Mr. Bryan is
silent. In consequence the public is
sad. Yet there is the consoling privi
lege of conjecture. Mr. Bryan has
within the knowledge of the public
already spent some five or more years
seeking the presidency. That he has
failed in two heroic efforts does not
mean that Mr. Bryan is discouraged.
Mr. Bryan is of most sanguine tem
perament. He believes himself a man
of destiny. The world knows him a
man of hope. True, there are dif
ferent sorts of destiny. Some men
are destined to ascend and some to
descend. In fact, there are those who
hold to the faith that these divergent
courses are predestined to these dif
ferent. men. But hope springs eter
nal. Mr. Bryan, despite his wasted
five or more years, is yet a young
man. Twenty years of his future, de
voted to pursuit of the presidency, he
will count, well spent, if, at their
close, his ambition has but been real
ized. Mr. Bryan has declared himself
not a candidate! Oh. yes! But there
are no candidates, now. The season
has not opened.—Cincinnati Commer
cial Tribune.
try B.ryanism is the democracy's
weakness. It must get rid of that, or
almost certainly goto another defeat.
But it cannot rid itself of that with
out at the same time ridding itself of
Mr. Bryan. With him, it is love me love
my platform. But if Rryanism is
again to prevail within the party, then
Mr. Bryan is the logical democratic
candidate for ICO4, and is fairly en
titled to a third nomination. —Wash

Denver, July 4. —News reached here
yesterday afternoon of an outbreak
of the striking 1 miners of the
gier mine, near Teullride, in the ex
treme southwestern part of the state.
The information was to the effect
that the postoftlee had been blown up
by dynamite and 15 men killed in the
riot. All wires leading into Tellu
ride have been cut by the miners.
The news of the riot came from
Ouray, Col., across the mountains
from Telluride and was telephoned
to Ouray from the Camp Bird mine,
which is between Ouray and Tellu
ride. The Camp Bird is the property
of Thomas Walsh, a resident of Wash
ington. It is said that, miners from
the Liberty l'ell, Tom Boy, Revenue
and Camp Bird mines have joined
with the Smuggler strikers and that
800 men now surround the Smuggler
mine. The despatch from Ouray
stated that shooting was still going
on when the dispatch was sent. The
strike in the Smuggler mine has been
on f»r some time and only recently u
citizens committee was appointed at.
Telluride to try to effect a settlement
of the differences between the miners
and the owners of the property.
The excitement which has been pre
vailing all day over the riot in the
Smuggler-Union mine was rapidly
subsiding 1 yesterday evening l .
As nearly as can be learned the
fight was precipitated at the Sheri
dan 'lunnel, which is about three
quarters of a mile above the Bullion
Tunnel, through which the mines are
worked .and where the principal
hoarding 1 and bunk houses and other
buildings and upper terminals oi: the
tramway are located.
Denver, July s.—The following tele
graphic correspondence last night
passed between (iov. Ormond anil Ar
thur 1.. Collins, manager of the smug
gler union mine at Telluride, the
scene of the battle with strikers yes
terday: "Telluride, Col., July 4.
Gov. Ormond, Denver: Unprovoked
attack made upon our property Wed
nesday morning by several hundred
armed masked men. Valuable prop
erty destroyed, two men killed, sev
eral severely wounded. Best of the
men driven across range. Desperados
now have forcible possession. Sheriff
says he is powerless to give us pos
session of our property or protect
lives of employes, and lias called for
troops, which were denied. With

indefinitely abandoned. Will you
telegraph me advice and furnish us
protection? The Smuggler Union

lA'HERE ARE THEY?
Six Ca£* of tiold Arc .Tllwalim From
tile Nan Francisco -Hint.
San Francisco, July 5. —Concerning
the report that a shortage has been
discovered in the San Francisco
branch mint, the Chronicle yesterday
said: Six bags of gold, each con
taining $5,000 in S2O gold pieces, have
disappeared from the mint, and no
trace of txie thief has been discov
ered, although Superintendent Leach
and his force, assisted by Director
of the Mint Roberts and his staff of
experts have been at work on the
mystery since June
The annual count of the coin,
amounting to $25,000,000, began last
Friday. (In Saturday six bags were
found to be missing from the cash
ier's vault. As the cashier's books
tallied with those of the other de
partments, the officials were forced to
the conclusion that somebody ac
quainted with the inside affairs of
the mint had taken the money.
Director Roberts, of Washington,
made the following statement: "We
| have been very reluctant to conclude
that a shortage exists. We have
fought against the belief that there
is anything wrong, but after three
days' work in cheeking calculations
and going over the count we have
still to face the situation of $30,000
■less in coin than the books call for.
There appears to be no escape from
the conclusion that some one or more
persons employed in the mint have
been faithless to the trust reposed in
him or them. There is a possibility
of an over-payment to a depositor.
It is improbable, however, tiiat so
| large an over-payment could be
I made."
Both Superintendent Leach and
Director Dimmick declared that sus
picion could not point to Cashier Cole,
since his books were in perfect con
dition and called for the amount miss
ing.
Washington. July 5.—A telegram
has been received at the mint bureau
from Director Huberts, who is in San
Francisco, confirming the report of
the disappearance of government
funds from the mint in that city. He
says the cashier of that mint is s'!o,-
000 short, but gives no particulars of
his investigation and ventures no
surmise as to the cause of the short
age. As Mr. Roberts is on the
ground, the mint officials here decline
to speculate as to what course may
be pursued for the protection of the
government.
A TERRIBLE FIRE.

pletely Destroyed,
Baltimore, July 5.- —The six story
brick and iron building on the corner
of North and Lexington streets, di
rectly opposite the city hall and
known as the "Hoen" building, was
completely destroyed by lire shortly
after 7 o'clock yesterday morning.
The fire originated on the third floor,
but its cause is still undetermined. It
took fully an hour to get the flames
under control, and when this was
done, the building was found to be
completely gutted and its contents
destroyed. All of the floors, except
the first, were occupied by A. Hoen &
Co., lithographers and printers. Their
loss is a serious one and may reach
$300,000, as they had many valuable'
cuts and lithographic apparatuses,
which are almost impossible to re
place. The other occupants of the
building, all of whom were on the
first floor, are the Southern Electric
Co., the Hammond Typewriter Co.,
tne Cash Coal Co.. (lately & Haskell,
book binders; Baltimore County Mu
tual Fire Insurance Co. and the Bel
gravia Land Co. So detailed state
men! of the losses of these concerns
is as yet attainable, but a rough es
timate places the damage at $150,000.
The loss on the building will proba
bly reach $200,000.

Steubenville, 0., July 5. —One of the
bloodiest affrays ill the history of
West Virginia Pan Handle occurred
at Wheeling Junction last night and
three Italians left a trail of blood
behind their knives, almost wiping
out an entire family. The dead are:
Jacob Eidenour, aged HO years,
stabbed -in the heart; William Eiden
our. a son, left jugular vein cut and
stabbed in the heart. The injured
are: Robert Eidenour. a son, cut
on both arms; Phillip Eidenour, a
son, stabbed over the eye, in the
breast and on the leg, may die; Mrs.
Jacob Eidenour, aged SO, (.tabbed in
left side, may die.
According to Mrs. Phillip Eidenour,
of Steuben ville, herself and husband,
with their baby, were visiting Mr,
Eidenour's parents, and as they
were leaving the house of Mr. Eiden
our's parents, the father's family
went up on the main road to see them
off. Three Italians, part of a gang
working on the railroad, came along
n«d one of them said something gut
tera! to Robert Eidenour, who called
them a vulgar name. The three
Italians then flashed stilletos, killed
the father and William almost in
stantly; cut Phillip frightfully, and
after stabbing Mrs. Phillip Eidenour
and Robert, fled.

HELD UP A TnAIN.
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.
