D. Stone Company, MILL FOOT OF BROWN. Tn mkm tA-m G3 CAYTOM, TIGER The Winning A ICYCLE mrJm ml AT GUN'S MUZZLE Two Bold Highwaymen Held Up a Theological Student. ON ALEXANDER STREET Vincent Q. Johnson Robbed of G0I4 Watch and Chain at 11:30 O'clock Last Night in a Respectable Residence Section.

Two bold highwaymen, at 11:30 o'clork st night, held up and robbed la Johnson, a theological student at Tr hall, on Alexander street near Park avenue. The highwaymen committed their daring deed with revolvers and threatened to blow Johnson's brains out if he mnH.t.- least resistance. The daring of the thus has seldom been equalled in Itochester In all the records of highway robberies. Jt was shortly after when Tr.i, son rushed up to Ofliccr Trant, whom he found on Alexander street near Gardiner' park, and exclaimed: 'I've been robbed of my watch chain by two men and they wonM shot me if I had given them any excuse," The officer drew from the victim of the robbers an account of how he was walking along the street, going from Monroe avenue to Trevor hall, near East avenue when a burly man suddenly sprang fr0n behind a tree and, shoving the muzzh. a big revolver into his face, said in a low determined voice: "Shell out yer money, or I'll blow bloomin' brains out." The second highwayman then flrmcro from behind and repeated the demand of the first robber, and at the same time Dnt ui urfnu 11110 joiinson pocket and took his gold watch and chain, which he transferred to his own pocket.

The second thief quickly searched Johnson's clothes and in his trousers' pocket found some small change. The robbets, satisfied that they had secured all their victim had, shoved their revolvers into hii face and threatened to kill him if ha "made a holler." They then walked rapidly eastward on Park avenue and disappeared. Johnson walked as rapidly north on Alexander street until he met Officer Trant, to whom he told his storv. The officer reported the facts to Baird at police headquarters, and Detective Thomas Lynch was sent to the scene of the hold-up to take up the trail of the robbers. It is expected that the two bold highwaymen will be apprehended within twenty-four hours.

Johnson, who is a young student at the Baptist Theological Seminary, on Alexander street, is not a resident of the city. He was returning from an evening call when held up. He values his watch at but as it came from a near friend, he would not have parted with it for that amount. Later. 3:30 o'clock A.

M. Officers Lane and Toomey at 3 o'clock this morning captured the two highwaymen on Sr. Paul street after a fierce chase. The officers sent the two thugs to the police station in the patrol wagon, and Johnson was sent for. Upon arriving at the station he recognized the two men as the ones who held him up on Alexander street.

They were summarily locked up and the charge of highway robbery preferred against them. The arrested men are Clarence McMu-len and James Doran, both well known to the police. They are about 23 years of age and live in this city. MODERN BURIAL CASKET. Some Now Sold as Cheaply as Coffins Others More Elaborate Than Ever.

Nw York Sun. Probably about one-third of the people dying in this country nowadays are buried in the old-fashioned coffins, about two-thirds being buried in one sort or another of the modern burial casket, which is as different in appearance from the old-style coffin as it is possible to make anything designed for the same purpose. The percentage of those buried in caskets is all the time increasing. The only thing that has prevented the. casket from practically, if not absolutely, superseding the coffin, has been apparently its greater cost.

The burial casket, however, is now produced at lower prices than ever before. A black cloth-covered casket of a kind that is very extensively used, and was sold five years ago at about G5, is now sold at 30, and it could now be made and sold for less than that but for the advance in cost within the past year or two of the various materials that enter into its construction. There is now made a burial casket of the modern type, of whitewood finished in imitation of rosewood, that is sold as low as 5s3, or as cheaply as a coffin of the more costly kind; coffins being sold, according to material and finish at $10 to $33. These prices for coffins are also rather less than the prices at which they were formerly sold; those now selling at to having brought but a tew years ago $15 to The lower prices have been brought about by improved ami more economical methods of manufacture. It is a familiar fact that burial caskets and coffins nowadays are not made as they were in old times, by cabinetmakers and undertakers but in factories devoted to their production, many of these being big establishments.

equipped with the most modern machinery and appliances of nil sorts for the working of woods and metals. In old times the undertaker might work away on a single coffin in a back room, off his shop; recently an American concern manufacturing caskets and coffins has put in $30,000 worth of new and improved machinery. Not only are the less costly of the burial caskets now produced at lower prices ttuia those at which they were sold a few years ago, but there are also now made lower-priced caskets among the finer grades. For example: Fp to say five years a'p the least costly of the burial caskets the most modern "type, one with straight sides and square straight ends, was of carved oak, and was sold at JF3. A casket of this style, handcarved, and of wood finished in imitation of oak, can now 1h bought for S.V.

and a hand-carved casket of this style, of oak, and iu a handsome design, can now be bought for This would be of straight oak. A similar casket of quartered oak would cost more. Five years ago the lowest priced of the carved mahogany caskets of this kind cost such a casket wouU now cost aUutt 250; this smaller proportionate reduction, as compared with oak, being due to the present increased cost of mahogany.

In Charge of the Nineteenth Ward Temperance Union. The services at the Plymouth Baptist Church last evening were in charge of "he Nineteenth Ward Woman's Christian Temper ance Union, the president, Mrs. F. G. Bishop, presiding.

The attendance was large, fining the house. The scripture lesson was read by Mrs. V. W. and Miss B.

Thomas offered prayer. Music was furnished by the church choir, assisted by a trio of vocalists. A pathetic temperance story, in verse, was recited by Miss Mabel Urquart. The pastor. Rev.

E. B. Kbersole, gave the address of the evening, basing his remarks upon First Kings, 18:20, "If the Lord be God follow Him; If Baal, then follow him." The speaker suid in part: "In the temperance cause as In the service of God, in the time of Flijah. there is no middle ground; we must be for or against. The fact that the liquor traffic is an evil needs no demonstration.

Ninety-five per cent. of the crimes, GO per cent, of the poverty and 75 per cent, of the Insanity of our coun try are caused by drink. Life insurance companies declare that their risks are increased 30 per cent, by this habit. Even moderate drinkers are incapacitated for faithful service in any kind of work by this dangerous indulgence. Kallroad corporations are recognizing this fact, and are prohibiting its use by their employees.

More than a dozen of the leading railroads of this country have al ready taken this stand, for their own protection and for the safety of the traveling public. "This is one of the greatest questions before the American people; from an economic, social, or moral point of view. The suprem-; court of the United States has decided that uo man has an inherent right to sell intoxicating liquor. No person has the moral right to engage In any business which tends to tie-grade, impoverish and destroy his fellows. What is morally wrong can never be legallj' right.

"The national government permits the traffic because of the revenue derived from It, but, like human slavery, this business is opposed to the spirit of our government and civilization, and sooner or later must disappear. The saloon is In politics; has forced itself there; Is, In fact. Intrenched In politics, and If dislodged must be met upon this ground. No vote against this unholy traffic is thrown away; every such vote is a protest against the unholy business, and counts among the forces at work for Its overthrow." The speaker gave some Interesting personal experiences, referring briefly to the influences which had made a family of four boys total abstainers, and uncompromising advocates of the temperance reform, closing with an appeal for more earnest and persistent efforts for temperance training. In the home, the church and the educational Institutions of the country.

BLOCK ISLAND WAVES. The Islanders Touchy Reports From Other Points. Frovidence Journal. The abnormal action of the sea at Block island ceased Thursday night, and it was -with a feeling of relief and security that the natives, on arising, Friday, saw that the expense of water fringing the island shores presented its usual aspect of equanimity. The tide rose and fell at its accustomed time, and there was nothing to indicate the marine phenomenon of Tuesday.

The fact that the Washington hydro-graphic ofiice is inclined to be skeptical concerning the event, and apparently doubts the story, is likely to cause more excitement in the form of indignation than did the vagaries of the deep. Klock island folk are not accustomed to having their veracity in such a matter questioned and will repel with fitting scorn any insinuations that their eyesight was affected Sea serpents are fitting material for illusions, but such an occurrence as the oue in hand, never. The peculiar tides at Block island were not so noticeable at Newport; in fact, it required special attention to note anything unusual. At noon one might note a raise of three or four inches or a smaller fall, but that may be said to be all. In this rise and fall a distance of two inches was recorded in five minutes at a time, when one might expect a slack tide, yet this was so trilling that it did not excite auy interest, for just at present high and low tides are running, and hence from the full height to be accomplished within the usual running time of tides the water must flow much faster.

The mean rise and fall is between three and a half and four feet, and these changes did not differ materially from their regular time, hence gave no idea of probability of affection by earthquakes or tidal waves. Captain L'riah Dodge stated to Captain II. M. Knowles, Wakefield, of the life-saving service, Thursday, over the telephone, that at o'clock I. M.

Thursday the frequent flood and ebb of he tide was still in evidence, and he related to show the rapid changes of Thursday that the crew of one of the life-saving stations there who had gone off to get off a small schooner that had grounded, upon returning their surf boat floating on the edge of the beach. In about fifteen minutes they came back to find her high iuid dry, with the sand uncovered fifteen feet back of her stern. The crew then started to haul her up still higher on the beach, but before this could be accomplished a flood tide set in that floated the boat up to the landing. The reports from the several life-saving stations Friday stated that the Block is land phenomena had its effect upon the waters on the southern shores of this state. From the station at Narragansett Rier it was reported that the tide was unusually high, while from Point Judith, Quonochontaug and Watch Hill the tide was noticeably low.

Captain Saunders of Quonochontaug stated that so low was the water during all day Thursday and Thursday night that the flood tide, when it made, was not sufficient to carry the water up the beach to the po'ul bcyoiid.

Not a great -while ago Chief of Detectives llayden wag in a barber ahop near the Four Corners getting shayed. The chief is -well known to the employees of this particular shop, and consequently between him and them there is a deal of good-natured chaff.

On the occasion of this particular risit the subject of discipline in the "force" was mentioned. Said the chief: "That reminds me of my first delinquency In that respect. I had not been on the force a great while, perhaps a little over a year, when I was put on the beat at the Four Corners. This was 'long about 1S76, when McLain was chief of police. Well, one day just at the end of my trick, I dropped into this very shop to pet a shave before reporting at the station.

I had not been in the chair five minutes before the chief came in and took the chair next to mine. The boys in the shop were rijrht on to things in a minute, and covered my trousers with a large apron so that the stripes would not show. Then commenced the perplexities of the situation. We had to be shaved in such a manner as not to have our faces turned towards one another. Every time my barber operated upon the left side of my face, the chief received a scrapinir upon the corresponding side of his.

When it became necessary to amputate the whiskers from my right cheek McLain underwent the same process. Of course, my man finished first and then the problem presented itself of how I -was to make my exit without the chief seeing me as I passed the mirror, which faced him. There was no way of escape except that window in the rear, ami through it I went. However, I eased my conscience by telling him all about it afterwards." Apropos of that last remark, the fore man of the shop said, "Who ever heard of an Irishman with a conscience In connection with thf'ir drawing lessons the pupils of the public schools are given frequent practical talks about art. In a family where the young hopefuls are dili gent students, the father and mother were discussing the question of having the house painted this spring.

As they were talking the matter over a young son who has just been advanced to the third grade, ex claimed: "You had better get Kaphae! to uo the painting. Teacher said yesterdav that he was one of the greatest painters that ever lived, and she knows a lot about nuch things." An effort was made at ex planation, but Raphael has not yet been given the contract for that job. A resident on one of the street-car lines made this observation the other dav: "The other evening I was going home on a crowded car. My wife, who had been shopping and was very tired, was with me. She managed to get into the car, and found a place to stand.

A part proprietor of one of our large retail stores sat near her, and never budged. I did not feel at all put out. for no man j.s under obligation to give up his seat in a street car to a lady. In a mo ment or two a clerk who sat immediately opposite rose and insisted that my wife should take his seat. I was not personally acquainted with either of the men.

I know, however, that society, so called smiles graciously on the employer, and would never look at the clerk. Yet one possessed the finer instincts of a gentle man; the other, well, I know he has not one-half the caliber of the clerk." The lissot paintings had little effect upon two men who visited Fitzhugh hall one day while they were on exhibition there, evidently having been drawn in by me crown. i guess we nave staved in here long enough," said one of them, after they had wandered aimlessly about for a time. "Hold on a minute," answered his companion, "they are going to do something up there on the stage," and the two men drew up with the crowd to hear young Earl Culick sing. They listened to a couple of songs, and them made their way to the door.

As they were going out one of them exclaimed: "When I hear a girl's voice I want a girl behind it, and I don't mind a little kicking thrown in. This show is not up to date." And there was an expression of dissatisfaction on both of the men's faces as they wandered away. "Our Sunday-school superintendent may be a pious man," said a small urchin yesterday, as he drew himself up to the dinner table with a half-starved air, "but if he knew how hard it is to be good when you are hungry, he would close the exercises fifteen or twenty minutes earlier. I know if Satan ever gets a good chance at me it is during the last few minutes of the session, when I feel as if I must have something to eat." "This is one of the hardest times in the year for us," said a teacher in one of the public schools the other day. "Everyone is more or less restless when the weather begins to get warmer, and yet is not warm enough to put off winter coats and wraps, but the children nre especially anxious for the summer days.

They long to be out of doors, and it naturally makes them less tractable during school hours. Among the younger ones we try many ways of interesting them, especially with wholesome stories and incidents in the lives of eminent men and women." "loung people almost universally wear summer clothing especially adapted for out door life in these days," said a Rochester clothier recently, "and the custom is rapidly growing among older folks. The time was, and not so many years ago, either, when a middle-aged man would no more think of wearing knickerbockers than he would of arraying himself in the garb of a circus clown. Now they are commonly used, and men of all ages wear them to business if it suits the convenience of an hour's spin on their wheels after the work of the day is done. I might add, as my individual opinion, that a modern bicycle or golf suit gives the average man a jaunty apppearancc, which is neither out character, nor seems to be an undue affectation of the ways of youth.

Such a suit saves the regular business outfit, and must be a welcome change from clothes that are worn throughout the entire season." Street Tree Planting.

The art department of the Democrat and Clironicle is turning out ta finest quality of half-tono plau aud etch'incs from pea drawing AGE IS WITH US Disappearance of Alan'a Patient Burden Bearer. FOLLOWED BY THE MULE In the Readjustment of Conditions That Will Succeed the Event a New Style of News Item Will be Developed. There is some doubt in the lay as well as the scientific mind as to the exact dates of the stone age, the bronze age and the age of unmarried females above a certain age, but the text books of the near future that do not fix the beginning of the horseless age as about the end of the nineteenth century will be treated with scorn at conferences of school principals, and be neglected by all up-to-date boards of education.

Horses, once scattered thickly over the habitable globe; more numerous than the one-time countless herds of bison on the illimitable American prairie, will soon be as extinct as the animal which English chappies are still coming to this country with the best of intentions of hunting on the flats about Oreenpoint. A few specimens may be preserved by persons interested in the fauna of the land, and it may not be too much to expect that all well equipped puolic parks will have small herds in well built horse pounds. Even now the horse has fallen from his high estate as man's best friend to the lowly estat? of furnishing non-nutritious food for Ilocr beleagured garrisons. With the passing of the horse may also come the elimination of that great national institution, the American army mule. and Missouri may revert to the primeval condition of a howling wilderness without a bray or a hee-haw to vary the monotomy.

This is sad, but it is progress. When the trolley car, the auto-vehicle, and the bicycle have at last crowded the horse for the last time within the line of intrenchments of the besieged, and the harsh metallic clang of the auto-gong has taken the place of the musical and expressive whinny; when canal boats shall be noiselessly propelled by electricity through the length of the placid Erie, and when the mild excitement of rescuing a towing team from accidental immersion in the canal shall have passed away never to return, then will the people realize the loss of the homely but faithful equine companionship immolated on the insatiable altar of progress. In those times, in place of the frequent recounting of instances where the discarded fire horse relegated to the humdrum existence of drawing a milk wagon, takes it into his head to respond to a fire alarm, to the consequent establishment of a terrestrial milky way, newspaper readers may be regaled with something like this: "Charles T. Chapin has been re-elected president of the (Jent.lemen Automobilists' Speeding Association." "The county good roads commission has just awarded the contract for the asphalt pavement of the Dugway boulevard." "A colt was foiled at the Genesee Valley park horse paddock yesterday. He is a very frisky and interesting little specimen of an animal once common on our streets." "The annual report of the department of public works shows that the expenses of the street-cleaning bureau have steadily declined since 19H, and that since an ordinance has been adopted by the city council prohibiting the driving or riding of horses on the public streets, alleys, avenues and lanes of the city, the cost is only about a quarter what it was in the year mentioned." "The Hayes auto-extension ladder truck was slightly damaged yesterday by colliding with a garbage collection bureau autocart, while responding to an alarm of fire from the Motor Cyclists' Club." "The Motor Vehicle Owners Association will enjoy a club run to Hilton and return this afternoon." "The street railway company has just added another funeral car to its already large equipment for handling trolley funerals." "Scientists assert that the prehistoric horse was a small animal, not over two feet in height, and bring strong argument and testimony to bear to prove the asser tion, and now comes the story from the nature study bureau of Cornell University that now it is no longer used to bear the burdens formerly imposed by man, the species is reverting to the primitive type; that no living specimen can be found as large as the mounted skeleton of Maud S.

would indicate that celebrated horse to have been, and it is a matter of record that she was considered a small mare in her time. It is seriously claimed that if pains is taken to prevent the extinction of the race that in 2,400 years the living specimens wM have become as small as their remote ancestors are believed to have been. "Automobile polo seems to be the cominsr fad with the smart set. The game affords the fullest scope for the exercise of skill and exhibition of daring, and several experts were out for practice on the greens of the Country Club yesterday. A tournament is proposed, to be preceded bv a grand march of motor vehicles, and to close with a drill, something in the line of a cavalry drill as laid down in the old army tactics, executed by the motor vehicles." Commissioner Cutler is seriouslv con sidering the desirability of organizing a corps of motor cyclist officers for dutv on the outskirts, and for patrol dutv in check ing the evil of reckless motoring." And so on and so on, and after all the roads have been improved to meet the new conditions, and the poorest toiler has scraped together the wherewithal to make a first payment and secure some kind of a compound-name vehicle, and even bectrars will not have to rely on the folklore "if" to ride, but will ri.le as a matter of course, then along will come the iconoclastic progressist with a Hying machine built for any number of occupants, warranted not to imitate the exploits of the invention of 1 anus i recti, and man will spread his wings ami soar over every and relegate his horseless vehicle to the' iiiiA- shop, or offer it to famishing garrisons to be made into horseless soup.
