NOT TO BE SCARED BY A REVOLVER. Hey Would Yell I'lrc One of the i-Mi UHcd Hit I'ln- f. r a Gag ; and They Were Illt'cn. A bold attempt at robbery was tnado Mon day nlpht about iiilO o'clock nt the corner of Seventh street and Fifth avenue. Emll llouscwlrtha coachman In the employ of J. F. Klmball , nnu Arthur Heed , a boy who works for .lames As Hnverstook , were going down F.fth avenue to their houses. When th y reached the corner by St. francls' academy they saw four mun leaning up naalnst the fence. They didn't suspect anything - thing , out were about to pass on , when sud denly ono of the men drew n revolver and held It under Kccd's nose , telling him at the same tlmo not to make a sound , while the ether three concentrated their attentions on ttio coachman. All three pitched upon him and knocked him down , after which they tried to go throueh his pockets. Hausowlrth , however , was not Idle all this time , but ns soon as ho found that his assail ants meant business ho raised a mighty cry of "FireViion ! ho began to wnvo his voice about In the clear night air the would- b i robbers took to their heels. It is supposed that robbery was the motive for the attack , but as the man only had M and n silver watch on hU person It would not have been n very rich haul for them oven If ihev had succei'dcd in their attempt. They did not try to declare ft dividend on Heed's possessions , ns It evidently had not entered their heads that a boy like him could have anything worth stealing. As : \ matter " of fact , however , ho had moro valuables about him than his companion. The matter was reported at police headquarters , but so fur there Is no clue to the poriwtrators , Heed stated that the man who manipulated affairs at his end of the line was small , wltn a heavy dark mustache , and wearing a wldo- brlirmod slouch hat. Hausewlrth presented himself at the residence of Mr. Klmball a few minutes after the as sault with his face covered with blood. Ho stated that ono of the assailants had tried to stlflo his cries by putting his hand over his ' mouth. Ho opened' his mouth In an un guarded moment and the fellow's whole hand went In , whereupon he took advantage of the opportunity and nearly bit his fincers off. That , ho said , was one reason why they made their escape in such a headlong way. Summer Millinery Display.

UIMTEKN 1M ENOEK TltOflll K' . The question of abolishing unlimited ticKets - ets was considered at the meeting of the Western Passenger association today but it was finally decided to postpone action on the subject until the Juno meeting. This conrso was made necessary by t'io unsettled condi tion of affairs growing out of the Alton boy cott. Cienend Passenger Agent Uhnrloton of the Alton obtained the consent of the asso ciation to make a rate of one faro for the round trip for the fanners' ulllunco men yvho arc to attend the national union conference In Cincinnati this month. It was expected that the subject of paying commissions in eastern territory and the boycottof the eastern roads against the Alton would bo discussed , but the mutter was not brought up in any shape. Chairman Fiuley's order to"ud'Miico the rates between St. LouU and Chicago does not takooffcct until May IT , and it Is probable that the Alton will wait until that time before declaring its intention to withdraw from the association. In the meantime the board of rulings of the eastern roads is laboring with the Ohio & Mississippi road to induce it to Join In the embargo against the Alton , but so far without success. IIUI.EI ) AOVIXST THB AI.TOS. Chairman Finloy of the Western Passen ger association Is out with another decision against the Chicago & Alton road , homo time ago , after giving due notice , the Alton made reductions In its rates to meet the competi tion of excursion rates tnado by the General Trafllc association lines from points in cen tral Illinois. The chairman ruled that this was a breech of the agreement and orders the Alton to turn over to the association nil the nivenuo it received from the reduced rates. Received Tnrrty Justice. ICis As CITV , Mo. , May'.1 ; . The farmers' alliance has at last received tardy Justice from the Western Passenger association , wliich today passed a resolution authorizing u one-faro rata from Kansas City and other Missouri liver points to Cincinnati and re turn. It will bo rcmerabcrbd that the first application for a ouo farfs rate for iho Cin cinnati lulllanco meeting was voted down. The Chicago & Alton then asked for u reconsideration on the basis of a faro and one-third , which was also voted down. Nothing daunted , however , the iron- cral passenger agent of the Alton rca 1 had the question reopened at today's meeting of the Western Passenger association and by unanswerable argument In favor of the original proposition for a ono-faro rate finally secured the reduction in the face of stubborn opposition on the part of some of the western linos. Only one important line was not represented nt the mooting , but that road's vote can bo counted on in its favor. Denver & Hlo Grande DK.SVEH , Colo. , May 5.

Ponino , the Alnbunui woman who helped capture the Fulton county murderer , .Tim Richardson , in Alabama lately , is a remarkable character , according to the Atlanta Con stitution. She owns and runs a planta tion of 4(100 acres in Randall county , Alabama , in the very heart of the negro bolt. Her executive power is something wonderful. There are few men who could successfully and profitably take her plnco as manager. Slip rules like a dictator. Last year bho ginned COO bales of cotton , running the engine her- cnlf She is a notably handsome woman , su perbly made , with a face indicating in telligence and and masculine determina tion and nerve.

Her promise is good for an order of $5.000 at the store , and her business ob ligations are always discharged prompt ly and exactly.

After this ho went about for forty years touching his "gospel of enlightenment and jus- tjco" ami making many disciples. lie died in the eightieth year of his age , forty yours after his Nirvana.

It is a source of wonder to honest people , that there are men ready and willing to porixjtrato stieh frauds. Let them beware ; a day of reckoning will surely come ; there are "upright judges" in the land who will punish such people. But the moral of it all is this : When you ask for Carter's Little Liver Pills insist upon having "C-A-R-T-K-H-.S , " and see that you got them.
