CURRENT COMMENT.
‘‘Her Last Lover" is the title of a
new modern love story. It is supposed
to be the sequel of about fifteen pre
ceding volumes.
The Duke of Veragua and the
Princess Eulalia, who are the guests
of the nation, have made themselves
very agreeable and have put our uu
sophisticated officials at their ease.
Apropos of the many bank suspen
sions of late it is interesting to note
the fact that when a bank hasn t the
money to pay its depositors they want
it. but when it has money they dou't
want it.
pßor. WIOOINS, the Canadian
weather prophet, has decided to make
no more predictions of earthquakes,
floods or cyclones. If Foster would
follow his good example we might now
live in peace.
Princess Kulalib having fully
explored the wonders of Washington
aud sampled the President's larder,
has betaken herself to New York,
where she will receive the homage of
all the personal friends of Columbus.
Mrs. Bradlkt Martin expended
$(50,000 on her daughter s wedding
and it lasted only fifteen minutes.
Four thousand dollars a minute is
rather a costly exhibition of social
standing until one considers that the
public paid $125,000 in presents to see
it.
When one considers the afflictions
of the country occasioned by the ran
tankerousuess of Miss Phccbe Cousins
it is a question whether it would not
have been better to have dispensed
with the World's Fair altogether. She
has made life a burden to most of the
other officials.
A stage company has just started
a coach line from Chicago to Jackson
park The coaches are drawn by
western horses, driven by western
stage-drivers of the old school, and if
Chicago thugs don't arrange to hold
some of these vehicles up en route
they will miss the romantic oppor
tunity of their lives
The sale of Mr. Ruskin's works, it
is said, is his only income, and a great
part of that goes to an army of pen
sioners to whom in the days of liis
wealth lie pledged himself —need)
relatives and friends, discharged ser
vants and institutions in which lit
took an interest at some time or an
other.
As a result of the many ariticisms
made upon Colorado's exhibit in tho
main building at the World’s Fair, the
state board of commissioners has ap
pointed Irwin Mahon a special agent
to collect an exhibit of minerals to bo
displayed in the Colorado building
Suitable specimens should be prompt
ly sent to him at the Sheridan Build
ing, Denver.
The Woman’s Congress held at Chi
cago last week was a remarkable affair.
Hundreds of intelligent women who
have won honor in many walks of life
met to discuss a variety of matters of
great importance. The subjects that
received attention were not treated in
a school girl fashion, but were han
dled in away to win the admiration <>f
all who were present.
It is a satisfaction to note that
Judges are coming to exorcise more au
thority in dealing with imbecile or
dishonest jurors. A ease of tho kind
occurred in a Chicago court recently
when Judge Ewing discharged a jury
which had acquitted a prisoner who
was clearly guilty, with these word-:
[do not understand how such a ver
dict could be reached after hearing
the evidence. You have shown your
selves incompetent to justly try eases
between the state and defendants, and
I therefore discharge you from further
duty this term.
The colonial possessions of Europe
an countries have a particular interest
for the United States at the present
time. An eminent French geographer
declares that ( Jront Britain to-day owns
28,935.(109 square kilometers of for
eign territory—a kilometer being a
little over six-tenths of a mile: France.
6,905,411; Germany, 2,403,520; Bel
gium, 2,241,250, and Portugal. 2.203.-
320. The population of the British
colonics is estimated at 245.641,000,
the French at 41,440,000. the Belgian
at 14,100,000, the Portuguese at 14.-
213.000 and the German at 5,113,'000.
Probably one of the most lasting
results of tho Woman's Congress held
in Chicago recently will be the influ
ence on woman's dress. The subject
was under discussion during four clays
and not only was dress reform dis
cussed but illustrated. Ladies ap
peared in all sorts of costumes that
varied more or less radically from the
conventional styles. It lias been the
case heretofore that the words dress
reform conveyed an idea of "bloom
ers, ” but nothing could be further
from the truth. Many of the reform
costumes are models of grace as well
as coinfort, if the reports from Chica
go can be relied upon.
Ai/rntraon there is a great rush of
Colorado people to Chicago this year,
there is no danger that the beautiful
resort of Glen Park will be entirely

HOW HER LADYSHIP SUFFERED.
Tha Dewager Dashes* of latharlaad
Rataasad from Jail.
The Dowager Duchess of Sutherland, who
was sanleuocd on the eighteenth of April lost
by Sir Francis Jeune, In the Probate division
of the High Court, to pay ti fine of £250 and i
to be Imprlsoued for six weeks for having
destroyed a documsnt which she was per- '
mltted to cxamlue by order of the court, aud
which related to tbe pending contest over the l
will of the late Duke of Sutherland, was re
leased on the 2Uth from Holloway prison, I
where she had been confined os a first-class I
misdemeanant.
Tbe dowager duchess was liberated at 8
o’clock In the morning. Her brother was In
walling for her with a brougham and she en
tered it and was conveyed to the railway sta
tion. where she took the train for Wtnlmr,
Intending to go thence to her Riverside villa,

ing the medical reports of the alarming con
dition of her health, owing to or aggravated
by Imprisonment, tbe duchess looked well.
The dowager duchess stated lu an Inter

Imprisonment. Hie had lost two stoue In 1
weight In six weeks. She wa- uot allowed ,
to see friends whenever she desired, but only !
three times a week. Not a single prlsou rule I
bad been rcluxed In her ca*c an)’ more lhau
might have been accorded to the humblest .

B"My loneliness," added the dowager «lueh
e«*. "was terrible, but It was borne up by the
thought that I did what my dear duke would
have had me do. The paper which wa*
burned up did not relate lo the will, but was
a letter of a single sheet, referring to a grave
family seaudul occurring many years before 1
entered the family. I promised my dear hus
band la bt* last hour* that 1 would prevent
the scandal from coining up. and I was faith

THE INFANTA AT WEST POINT.
Honored l»y a Grand Review of tlie
Cadets.
On Monday the lufantn F.ulallr visited West
Point. The day was an ideal one for a trip
up the Hudson. Precisely at 10:30 the steamer
Monmouth, all decorated with the Spanish
and American color*, drew out from the pier
at the foot of West Thirty-fourth street. She
waa saluted by the war ship*, and w ith all tbe

started on her trip to West Point. A loyal
salute was tired on the arrival of the party at
the Point, uliere the Infanta was met by the
officers of the post aud by an escort of cav
alry.
At Gol Ernest's tbe princess met Mr*. U.
9. Grant. The prluccss expressed much
pleasure at meeting the widow of the great

The great event of course was a grand re
view of the cadets, who were first drawn up
at dress front lu two long Hues, reaching
nearly tbe length of the plain. The prlucess,
escorted by Colonel Ernest, and followed by
ber suite, walked down the entire length of
gray-coated soldier boys. They made a line
appearance lu their natty dress uniforms and
close ranks. After the Inspection the prin

Will Use Foreign Rifles.
American soldiers are to use the Kragli-
Jorgenscn rifle, unless the Secretary of War
interpose*. United States troop* will be
armed within a few months with magazine
rifle* of that make. The Board of Ordnance
and Fortifications In session at tbe World's
Fair grounds has reached that decision. It
declares In effect that American inventors
have not yet made a magazine rille which can
compare with this model of foreign skill. If
approved by the Secretary of War. the decis
ion will settle a controversy that has lasted
nearly two years, and n* a result #400.000 will
be expended In the national armories in the
manufacture of these rifle*, the royalty of
course going to foreign Inventors.
To Do Away With Money.
Gyrus Corning, at one time one of the lead
ers of the Populist party In Knnsas. Is tbe
originator of a scheme whereby he hopes to
do away with money and its attendant evils.
H.s plan Is to establish exchange- In the dif
ferent pari* of the state to take the place of
tbe ordinary store. The purchaser can trade
whatever commodity he has for what he
wants In the store's stock, or he can take
checks in exchunge which will be honored at
any exchange. The farmer can also deposit
hla money with the exchange, and checks
will be loaned, secured by collateral wlthont
interest. Bush an exchange has already beta
established at Bennington, Kansas, sad a sac
nod osm wIU moo be la operation at Topeka.

BICYCLISTS’FAST RUN
GREAT RACE AT CHICAGO.
Thm Hundred Men Conpili for (k(
Honor* In the rullmao
Hoad Race.
The Pullmau road race, the groat eat event
of the year for Weatern wheelmen, waa run at
Chicago on Decoration Day lu brilliant aun
ahlne and balmy weather. A gentle breeze
and dry road made the race the moat aucceaa
ful of the aerie* of acven yet run. About 300
wheelmen participated and the crowd* ot
spectator* at the mart and finish were far up
In the thousands.
Aa the course has been changed since last
year comparison Is difficult with preceding
records. The present dlstauce la seventeen
aud one-fourth miles.
At tt:4» a. tn.. In front of the Lelaad Hotel,
Starter L. W. Conkling aald “Uo” to the first
of the swarm of expectant cyclists that Hand!
capper Miles had arrunged on their respec
tive marks. Twelve minutes later, at 9 sharp,
the "scratch" men swung Into their saddles
and the big race waa ou In earnest.
The first man over the tape at the finish was
M. Nelson, Columbia Club, at 9:49:30. He
waa an elght-miuutc handicap man, making
bU running time 58:30. Gunther of the Lin
coln should have won the race. He lost It by
a fluke. About 100 feet from where the finish
tape was stretched la a railroad track. There
fttackpolc, hla trainer, stood, and as Gunther
came down the course, leading Nelson by
several lengths, the trainer waved hla hand
and shouted. Gunther, supposing that he
had crossed the tape and that his trainer
wauled him, dismounted. Before he realized
that his race was not won, Nelson crossed the
tape. Then, without mounting, he ran across
the tape, finishing second.
Arthur Lumsdcn narrowly escaped death
from a train In crossing the tracks while go
ing to the grounds, lie wo* saved by a boy
who ran In front of his wheel and knocked
him oil.
An exciting Incident was due to a stupid
policeman, who got excitedly In the way of
H. Seabel of Milwaukee just atter the latter
crossed the tape f inrtli. The result was a
collision, which doubled up the officer like a
jack kr.lfc and sent the cycler headlong
directly into the laps of a bevy of gnily at
tired summer girl*. No one was hurt worse
than the policeman, and the matter was
passed with a laugh.
The men were fearfully du«t-begrlmcd and
recognizable only by the long square on their
hacks. Judges, timekeepers and referees
kept account of the racers until about 100 of
the racers had crossed the line. Few men
dropped out, but no attempt was made to
schedule the later arrivals.
The judges announced results as follows:
First I’rlze—M. Nesscl, Columbia Wheel
men. Time, 55:17; handicap, 3:30.
Second Prize—M. Nelson, also winner of
race. Columbia Wheelmen. Time, 55:44:
handicap. 6:00.
Third Prize—Charles T. Kulscly, Illinois
Cycling club. Time, 56:11 ‘2-5: handi
cap, 1:30.
To M. Ncsscl falls the honor of being the
swiftest of tbe 300 men who started.
GOLD STILL GOING.
Another Five Million Dollars Shipped to
Kurope.
New Yoiik, May 31. The drain of gold
from tlic United State* treasury Is going on
fast now. HilpmenU of gold to Europe to
day and to-morrow will foot up #4,000,000. of
which all but #225,000 wa* withdrawn from
the treasury to-day. In addition, #IOO,OOO
was u lthdrawn for shipment to-day. These
amounts, together with the shipments yester
day, make the total export movement for tbe
week thus far #5.000,000 to Europe and #3OO,
000 to Canada. The gold taken from the sub
trea.»ur.v to-day was secured upon the pre
sentation of #450,000 In treasury notxs and
the balance legal tenders. Three shipments
will bring the treasury balance down to about
#91,000,000 gold, and as further shipments are
expected Saturday, it Is likely tho balance
will be reduced to #90,000,000 at the end of
the week, although the treasury ie constantly
receiving from various sources small amounts
of the yellow metal. Saturday's shipment*
are not announced yet. but arc expected to
amount to #2.000.000 or more.
Circus Train Wrecked.
Waller Main's circus train was wrecked on
tbe Tyrone and Clearfield branch of the
Pennsylvania railway at Vail station five miles
6outh nt Tyrone, at 5:30 Tuesday morning.
A* fur a* can l»c ascertained, five persons
were killed and ten injured. The circus wa*
en route to Lewiston from Houtsdale. The
engineer lost control of the train w hen going
down the mountain and It jumped Ihe track
when going at a speed of 40 miles per hour,
throwing 14 cars over a thirty-foot embank
ment. Most of the animals were bndly hurt,
and a number escaped to the woods. Tbe
truin Is badly demolished and it is the worst
wreck In this locality for years.
Some of the animals are still at large. One
tiger valued at #7,000 wa- shot. Thlitjen
ears and a locomotive tender were totally de
stroyed. Three sleepers aud tbe tender re
mained on the track. The loss Is estimated
at #IOO,OOO.
Sealers Get a Good Start.
According to advices received nt the .State
and Treasury department* 110 scaling vessels
have left Victoria up to date. This, coupled
wltli the fact that ttie scalers have so much
the start of the patrol fleet, Is causing the ad
ministration considerable uneasiness a* lo the
outcome of Gils year’s work.
To lie effective. It la the opinion of experts
that tbe fleet should have l*een in Behring sea
not later than May 15. it I* feared that there
will tie nothing lo prevent the scalers from
1 entering the forbidden waters and making
heavy captures before any of tbe patrol ves
sels can overtake them. It will lie the aim
1 of the government to head off and capture
; tho supply steamer of the scalers, a* wa*
; done Inst year by Captain Evans, before It
liu* a chance to communicate with sealers ill
Behring sen. There are serious doubt* on
; this score, however.
Smuggling Opium and Chinese.
Secretary Carlisle ha* during the past few
day* received several telegram* which fully
confirm the newspaper dispatches ns to the
discovery of a conspiracy ou the extreme
northwest border to smuggle opium' and
Chinese iuto the United States. These tele
grams, which for the present arc withheld, go
further. It 1* said, ami Intimate that quite a
number of government officials, collector* of
customs ami speclnl agents arc Implicated In
the conspiracy, which Ims been in sttecessful
operation for some time past.
A Crazy Aeronaut.
While 30.000 people looked. Aeronaut Pur
cell Thomas stepped front the pinnacle of the
Parade house roof at Iluffaio, N. Y , Tuesday
afternoon, with an ordinary umbrella In one
hand, and shot like a rock to the stone pave
ment below. His wife, who was to jump
next, drew back In horror at the sight of her
husband's mangled hotly stretched below.
The skull of the aeronaut was crushed, hi*
back, legs and arm* broken. He died a* he
was being carried Into the hospital. Ills wife
Is left destitute with four children. His home
I* said to be In Indianapolis. He was to get
•50 for the feat.
Embarge on Cattle.
The Glasgow Importers of Canadian cuttle
have sent word by cable to the exporters to
stop shipping, a« the delays, owing to the re
quirements of the Board of Agriculture that
the cattle shall be slaughtered upon arrival,
are ruinous to the trade. Three vessels load
ed with cattle are waiting for the disposal of
their cargoes and others are coming, and
prices have fallen i.'S on caoh animal. In
view of the fact that no evidence of disease of
cattle has developed, the shippers have again
requested the Board of Agriculture to raise
the existing embargo. The board refused to
grant the request.

CHARLES FOSTER FAILS.
Phs ex-Secretary of ths Trsatsry Com*
polled to Maks an Asslgnmsnt.
K Ths Hon. Charles Foster,who was secretary
nf the treasury under President Harrison,
made an assignment for the benefit of bit
creditors on the 36th. It la not yet known
what bit liabilities are, but they will probably
reach fCOO.OOO. Hla asset*, though much
more than that amount, shrink so
much in the process of reallalog upon them
that they will not more than meet the liabili
ties. Mr. Foster bits been tbe leading busi
ness man of his home, Fostorla, Ohio, and Is
Identified with a number of buslueas enter
prises.
The bank of Foster A Co., the wholesale
grocers, Davis A Foster, have also assigned.
“The affairs of tbe Mambourg Glass Com
pany, Crocker Glass Company,Calcined Glass
Company and the Brass and Iron Works Com
pany and the Fostorla Light and Power Com
pany aie so Involved, the governor being a
heavy Indorser of their paper, that these Insti
tutions will ho placed in the hands of an as
algnee.
The bank of Foster A Co. carried several
hundred thousand dollars In deposits, having
the account* of a majority of the buslnc**
men of Fostorla. The bank negotiated the
loans for the Brass aud Iron Works and the
Crocker, Mambourg A Calcined Window
Glass bouses. To do this the bank had to give
Its own Indorsement, aud It was this fact tnat
caused the crash. The great stringency of
the money market compelled all banks hold
ing the governor's paper to ask payment,and,
having so much paper out, he was not able to
carry the load.
According to Mr. Foster's statement, he
discovered the extent to which he had In
dorsed Immediately on his return from official
life at Washington, and the crisis was aluio-t
precipitated at that lime; but be succeeded in
getting •120.000 of bis friend, Dan Darkness
of Hcllvuo, giving for the same a deed for tbe
two Foster blocks und bis stock In the Cun
ningham Stave and Barrel factories. This re
lief caused the governor to hope he could pull
through, but the continued money stringency
compelled him to meet more paper as It ma
tured. until finally he saw no hope of relief,
and a general assignment waa the only course
left.
The failure of Mr. Foster is most deplora
ble; It Is more so, It la a great calamity. Hl*
failure Is due to his efforts to build up Fos
torla. It was his sole ambition to see bis own
town prosper There was no enterprise he
was not ready to encourage, no citizen he was
not ready to help. It was his big, generous
heart that pulled him down. Those who will
lose will not have a single unkind word to eay
of him. He has given tip everything without
reserve. His million* of friend* will not do
•ert him In hi* distress; million* who hope
he will bear up manfully under the crushing
blows. He has acted honorably and still
commands the profound respect of every
citizen.
In speaking of his failure Mr. Foster said:
“Words cannot express the deep distress and
humiliation 1 feel. If I could bear all the
burdens that my failure will entail, I should
feel a 6ensc of relief. It Is no consolation to
look back over a business life of forty-five
ycare that ha* gained for me a position of
confidence that has rarely been achieved, to
know that I have aided hundreds of people to
maintain an honorable standing and to gain
competency and some a targe degree of
wealth. I know that now I have by my fail
ure Injured many people, but I hope none are
to be ruined.
“It Is only just to myself that two things
have caused my downfall. One was neglect
of business caused by my devotion to politics,
and the other to an overzealous desire to
build up Fostorla. I don't know that at my
time of life I ought to Indulge lu the hope of
being able to repair my fortune and pay my
debts; that I shall try will be tbn one end for
which I shall live. In this hour of unspeaka
ble distress I only crave the generous judg
ment of tbe public—a public that will bo
deeply shocked over the linaucial downfall of
a man who has enjoyed their confidences to a
remarkable degree. The aggregate amount
of the liabilities. Including bank dcfio.-dts, my
Individual debts, the three glass companies,
the brass and Iron works company, the light
and power company, will he about 1600,000.
The assets on paper will more than cover the
liabilities. We have secured the school fund
aud the building nnd loan association funds
against lcrs."
A Blow at Trusts.
Under a decision rendered by Judge Patter
son of New York, business men who refuse to
enter trusts und combinations are entitled to
relief when these trusts try to force them out
of business. The case was that of the Duobcr
Watch Company, which began aii action
against the K. Nournd Watch and Clock Manu
facturing Company and others to recover
nearly 1500,000 damages, charging that the
defendant, falling to induce the Ducber
Watch Company to enter Into a combination,
had set to work deliberately to ruin-the
plaintiff'* business by Intimidating dealers who
wanted to buy Dueber case*.
In passing on a demurrer Judge Patterson
says In bis opinion u good cause of action has
been established for by the statute of that
state it Is a misdemeanor to commit any act
Injurious to trade or commerce.
Tbe judge concluded: "II Is not a case of
the freedom of trade. There Is not an ap
pearance of the purpose on the part of tbedc
fendants to Increase their business, but only
to crush out a rival who would not join them
In an asserted Illegal purpose.”
Chinamen Net at Liberty.
At the request of Maxwell Evarts, who I*
associated with Joseph M. Choate ns counsel
for the Six Companies, Judge La Combe of
New York ha* written an opinion In the case
of Ny Look, the Chinaman who was arrested
several days ago.
The judge ordered that he be deported as
soon a* provision was made for carrying out
the Geary taw, but set hlui at liberty in the
meantime.
Mr. Choate caused the arrest of the man
for an Important reason. He felt that a judge
In that city would not order that a Chinaman
be kept under arrest pending the arrangement
to put the Geary law Into effect. A Western
judge might, however. Copies of Judge La
Combe’s oplulon have been aent to the attor
ney general ut Washington nnd will reach
every United States judge before long. This
decision will furnish a precedent which other
judges will not be likely to set nslde.
Emin Pasha's Fate.
A letter just received from Ben Mohammed
by the governor of Stanley Falls, leave* little
doubt that Kmlu Pashu, the noted explorer.
If dead. The letter says that an Arab chief
named Snlil Bin Abed In tourneying toward
Uoyoro and Wadelal, met Emin Paelia and
hla expedition In a hostile manner. A severe
battle ensued and the fighting tasted for threw
day*. Emin Pasha and his followers were
defeated anil took to (light. Bald Bln Abed
and his victorious followers overtook Emin

HOME FOR EX-CONVICTS.
A PLACE FOR tyß/4 RELEASED
. FROM PRISON.
After Serving a Term It) Prison Convicts
Had Nowhere to Go and Often
Committed Crime Cut It
tbe Homo Was Built.
Alighting: from a train at tho little
West Philadelphia station of Paschall
after a fifteen minutes’ ride from
Broad street station, passing along a
little footpath and turning to the left,
ono sees on the very corner of .seven
ty-third stroot and Paschall avenue
nn old-fashioned two-story house, dis
tinct from tho frame dwellings
around it in that it is built of stono.
Within its walls Is located tho Homo
of Industry for discharged prisoners
of Pennsylvania, says tho Philadel
phia Times.
Tho majority of people, perhaps,
do not pause to contemplate the
difficulties encountered by criminals
when, after sorving a term in prison,
they wish to begin life anew. It has
been proved by thoso who have given
tho matter attention that criminals
who navo been duly punished are
usually anxious to regain their stand
ing as honest men. And it has beon
proven also that too often they are
driven buck to theft and robbery by
tho repulses of their kind. Who Is
moro friendless or forlorn than the
man discharged from prison, thrown
on his own resources, possibly dogged
by detectives und knowing that no
ono aware of his history will employ
him be his need over so great? What
courso is open to him but a life of
dishonesty? For men of this class
never bog; they will support them
selves, though it bo by questionable
means.
Entering tho building from the
front ono passos first into the square
parlor in which religious services are
conducted at stated times. Here Isa
small organ, there a tall desk be
tween tho windows; plain chairs are
rangod round, and the floor is covered
with well-worn carpet On the wall*
are scriptural texts illuminated and
framed. Through folding doors one
sees Into tho back parlor, wherein is
u well-defined mokcase, and thence
one passes into tho dining room, with
its low coiling, long table and form
idable array of chairs. Oponing out
of this is tho kitchen, of which tho
managers are justly proud, and which
forms a part of the annex recently
erected. It is large and cheerfully
light, with shining oil-cloth on tho
floor, and is fitted up with every thing
needed.
Next to tho kitchen is the superin
tendent’s office where another book
case. containing tho works of stand
ard authors, stands near his desk,
and through another door one entors
the wash room, whore everything
has been arranged for tho largo num
ber of men. Of the sleeping rooms
it need only bo said that they corre
spond in neatness und comfort.
Across tho yard is tho workshop, a
long, low shed, whoro tho men work
daily at broom-making, which trade
they arc taught. For lack of room
and suitable appliances the work is
dono with hand machines, but the
brooms aro of tho best and the man
agers could easily find a market for
three times as many as can be turned
out under presont conditions.
Tho home has been located in this
building for two years and has pros
pered in that time. During tho past
year 109 raon were admitted, twenty
throo of thoso found employment,
fifty-eight left of their own accord,
some to assist a similur institution
in Now York: forty-throo wore fur
nished with meals and temporary
lodgings and only eight wore dis
charged for cause.
Some of those same ex-prisoners in
talking of their past told how they
onco entered a house when there was
only a little girl there. They knew
that the owner had in Lis possession
a sum of several thousand dollars
which they intended to oapturo. In
their search for it one of them came

••Hallo, boys; here’s the money!"
“Oh!” Qxclalmcd the llttlo girl iu’

The finder asked hot* how much sho

pieces from his pocket and dropped
them in the box. The gung then left,

A man just discharged from tho
Eastern penltontiary was aakod by a
gentleman, out of curiosity, whoro ho
was going. Ho replied that ho did
not know, having no frionds and no
means of livelihood. Thereupon the
gentleman told him of tho homo of

upon leaving said to one of tho man

and I want to tell you that if I hadn’t

thero’d have beon a robbory on ltidgo

Upon ono occasion a trustod and
