UNDERWRITERS STIRRED BY
BIG ROBBERY OF GOLD
London, Fob. 21.--The Daily
Telegraph says that underwrit
ers at Lloyd’s are beginning to
feel seriously disturbed over what
for a long time has been regard
ed as one of their most profitable
risks. The news was reeevied
yesterday that a box of specie
valued at 5,000 pounds ($25,000)
disappeared while on the way
from Berlin to Hamburg, whence
if was to be shipped by the;
steamer Capblaneo to Rio do Jan
eiro. So far only very meagre
particulars of the robbery have
been given out, but the fact that
so large a sum has mysteriously
disappeared within so short a
time of the previous big robbery
<d' specie is certainly disquieting.
Everything points to the theory
that, a clever internal ional gang
i>f during criminals has means of
ascertaining- when important gold
shipments are being made. With
in two months a sum of 15,000
pounds ($75,000) has fallen in
to lawless hands without the po
lice of this country or the con
tinent having apparently any
clue to the thieves. Losses of
this kind have been frequent of
late. It is said, indeed, in insur
ance circles that there have been
some gold robberies--smaller, it
is true, but nevertheless serious
—which have not been made pub
lic. and t tic underwriters are said
to be considering the advisability
nf making further increase in the
premium they charge for Hie in
surance of specie payments.

arose and went to the crib to look
after the child and was liorror

PRESIDENT TAFT TO
NAME FIVE JUDGES
Washington, l>. fC.. Feb. 21.—
Mu fore tie quits office President
TaTI expects to s nil to the Sen
ate the nominal ions of live more
federal judges, making I I i dur
ing bis administration, a record
unequalled, so far as available
documents slmw, by any other
president in four years. Should
Ihese live nominations and ten al
ready sent to the Senate lie eon
iirmed, Mr. Taft, will have named
5S per cent, of the I ba federal,
judges provided by the statutes.
While the president is known to
regard his appointments to the
Supreme (Court, as the most im
portant lie has made—and he has
named live, of nine members of
that court, and a chief justice
lie has taken great pride, in his
choice of circuit, district and ter
ritorial judges. There are 1 ill
federal judges who enjoy life
tenure, and of that sort Mr. Taft
has appointed (55, or about io per
cent. Mr. Hoosevell in his lirst
term named i.'l life judges, and
in his second it. Mr. McKinley
named 211 life judges, Mr. (Cleve
land in his second term 2,. and
Mr. Harrison it).
Some Good Ones.
The most pitiable sight in the
world is a man in a big depart- i

One of the most pathetic sights
in this world is to see a man I ry

it takes twenty years for one
woman to make a man out of tier
son. and just twenty minutes for
another woman to make a font out
of him.
' If is belter In li \e nn a desert
island with a one-eyed parrot that
swears than In live in a pearly

The reason there seems In be
so few good people in the world

so little to say about them, while
the awful had folks are so darn
well advertised.

ARMY BUYS A NEW
AUTOMATIC RIFLE
New Haven, Conn., Feb. 21.—
A special order of 500 rifles of a
new model has been ordered by
the United States government
from a firearms company. They
are automatic and will discharge
652 shots a minute. The new gun
although a little heavier than an
ordinary rille, will be used as a
Held gun, the operator lying on
the ground and supporting the
front of the gun on a little tripod.
Thirty bullets can be tired in the
fraction of a second, another
magazine can be adjusted in a
fraction of a second and these
successively discharged until the
record of 052 is obtained. Nov
ices have tired 500 bullets a min
ute. This rifle will enable a sin
gle tile of soldiers’to do the work
of an ordinary company with an
old gun. The force of the pro
jectile is a I rille greater t han that
of the latest other rifles.
Kxercises were held in honor of
(ieorge Washington at the local
schools today.
Alex. Singletary will leave on
the next trip of the Brighton for
