They stated that almost every night a house was entered and that the robbers had become so bold that they did not seem to care whether or not they awakened their victims. In one instance a lady of Paterson awoke while the two fellows were rifling the drawers of her bureau. The burglars forcod her mouth open and pushed the inuzzle of a revolver between her teeth and then told her to scream if she dared. The lady fainted, and the burglars proceeded to carry off her valuables. The burglars were always masked. A description of their build was obtained. They were believed to be New Y ork crooks.

They met him on the platform of the Twentyeighth street station of the Third Avenue Elevated railroad. It was known that he was desperate and had done time for shooting a man, so the two detectives used precaiv tion in approaching him. O'Brien took hold of his arm and told him he was wanted. The big negro whipped out a ,42-callber revolver and attempted to shoot, but McCauley, who was behind him, let out his right fist and struck Taylor a blow on the jugular, which felled him to the platform.

Harrison has decided not to appoint Thomas C. Piatt to the secretaryship of the treasury—or, in fact, to any other cabinet position. He has also fully determined not to give Warner Miller the treasury portfolio, although he may invite Mr. Miller to become the new member of the president's advisory board—the commissioner of agriculture. Whether Miller will accept this appointment or not is a matter for conjecture. He is anxious to "get •in," and may throw aside the little disappointment he may feel in losing the more important position, and accept the commissionership. It is quite a drop from finance to agriculture, it is true, but agriculture it must bo or nothing. The treasury portfolio is not to go to New York. New York will,, however, be offered another portfolio in the shape of the navy, attorneygeneralship or postmaster generalship, and will thus have, should Miller accept, two representatives in the cabinet.

White Caps have instituted a reign of terror at Rod Bank, N. J. One man who was "warned" lost no time iu moving away; another ("Buff" Lawrence), who took no notice of the warniug, was captured and seriously whipped. The story published in New York aud Philadelphia papers that the Pennsylvania senators and Senator Stanford will possibly vote against the tariff bill, and there is danger that the bill will not pass the senate, is ridiculed by many of the Republican senators. Nevertheless, there is good basis for it. Senator Quay has unquestionably stated within the past three days that it was an open question whether or not he would vote for the bill. Tue reason he has given his friends for opposition to the measure is that it does not grant sufficient protection to Pennsylvania. He refuses to be interviewed on the subject, but iif private he says that he has not fully determi ied what he will do. A prominent menfber of the senate finance committee said to a representative of the United Press: "Wehaveheard these rumors. Senator Quay has never intimated to me that he would not vote for the bill. He has asked a number of things of this committee, and where it was possible they have been granted. But there is one thing certain," said the senator, in italics, "we are going to pass tho bill." In Nuts we have English Wulnuts, AlmonJs, Pccans, Filberts, Brazil Nuts and Mixed Nuts.
