Captain John tVcbb has Just returned
from Cedar Rapids, la., where he has for
several days been Investigating the matter
of a 10,OuO gold 4 rxr tent bond that was
stolen from the Manhattan National bank
Of New York over thirty years ago.
The participation of the Cedar Rapids
party In the affair grows out of the fact
that Samuol Wlnlleld Miller of that city
Is the uncle of tr. L. Arvlllo Wllcoxson of
New Tork. who whs arrested In New York,
February 9, J!Xio, at the Waldorf-Astoria
hotel, while attempting to dispose of ths
$10,000 bond or to raise money on It.
This was the first of these bonds to ap
pear since the robbery of thirty years ago,
at which time the Manhattan National
bank was broken Into and robbed of $3,000,
000, largely of bonds of this denomination.
The robbery was the most famous In the
history of bank robberies In the United
States and still ranks as the greatest of
them. The recovery of this 10,000 bond
from Da Wllcoxson, In February last is
the first of the bonds to be recovered.
Dr.' Wlleoaaon'a Story.
Dr. Wllcoxson accounted for his posses
sion of the oond In that he had bought It
from a-miner In the' Klondike country,
named Bam Warren Miller. He had not
undertaken to dispose of it liitberto be
cause of Jts large amount and that he was
awaiting the arrival of Miller In New York
In ordsr, (hat Miller endorse the bond, or
rather "certify to his endorsement made
at Dawson City some time before. The
alleged (Killer put in an appearance In New
York In February and proceedings for the
negotiations of the . bond begun. The al
leged' Miller confirmed the sale of the bond
to Wllcoxson and the money was realized
from .ft. The bond was subsequently
Identified as 'one of those stolen from the
Manhattan bank and WUcoxson's arrest
promptly followed. - Miller had disappeared
in the ttwantlnje" -.However, Immediately
following WUcoxson's arrest he telegraphed
to his uncle, Sam Wlnlleld Miller, at Cedar
Rapids, to send him 11,000 Instanter, as he
was in serious trouble. The telegram was
Intercepted by the United States authorities,
and, they believing that Sam Warren Miller
and Sam Wlnlleld Miller were the same
person, had the latter indicted by the fed
eral grand, jury In New York, Jointly with
Wllcoxson. ' 4
Miller Thought to Be Innocent.
The Cedar Rapids Miller claims to be
entirely ignorant of the transaction or any
possible or probable participation In the
bond deal. -However, he admits that Dr.
Wllcoxson Is his nephew and that he had
received the telegram from him asking for
the $1,000 to help him out of his scrape.
Dr. Wilooxson Is but 81 years of age. He
bekrs the reputation of being a high liver
In New York. It was conclusively shown
t tho hearing .before the . federal grand
Jury in New York, that the name of 8am
W. Millor had been forged to the bond anl
at the' same time that Sam Wlnlleld Miller
of Cedar Rapids, answered the description
of tho man, who passed himself off as Sam
W. Miller at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel In
February.
The Cedar Rapids, Sam Wlnfleld Miller,
was taken to New York and his preliminary
hearing Is set for today In that city. Mr,
Miller's, Cedar Rupids- friends are standing
by him loyally and emphatically deny that
ha Is in any way Implicated In the matter
except through his relationship to Wllcox
son. Captain Webb la also of the opinion
that Sam Wlnfleld Miller Is an entirely
Innocent party In the transaction. Captain
Webb la of the further - opinion that Dr.
Wllcoxson has been employed as a willing
tool by the li. heritors of the profits of the
Manhattan bank robbery to negotiate the
$10,000 gold bonds, and that they have now
dropped completely out of sight, and that
the Cedar Rapids , Miller is simply the
.Victim of WUcoxson's perfidy.

CURRENT LITERATURE.
Mrs. Gabrlelle E. Jackson, in Mother, and
Daughter, recently published by the Har
pers, protests against some of the old cus
toms that we have grown to think indis
pensable factors in the bringing up of Chil
dren, but of whose absurdity hardly a
serious second thought is needed to con
vince us. One thing against which ob
jection is entered Is the telling of "Mother
Ooose" stories to children. In chapter III;
devoted to the "story-hour custom," she
says: "Don't tell the terrifying, gory
tales in Mother Goose, where giants do im
possible things, and utterly Idiotic rhymes
In atrocious English tell how the 'farmer's
wife cut off their talis with a carving
knife, or 'Moo Mulley Cow, why do you
low?' (marvelous rhyming, forsooth!) or
'Has the butcher taken your baby? If
Mother Goose' must be read to ohlldren
forever and a day, let us, for pity's sake,
draw the line at some of the rubbish,
and stick to 'Old King Cole was a merry I
old soul!' or one of the others with a
happy ending. I have known more than
one sensitive child to grieve bitterly be
cause the dear- little 'mouses' lost their
tails, or the 'poor dog' had to go hungry
because 'the cupboard was bare.' "
Sir Oliver Lodge, In an address to, teach- I
ers at Birmingham university described
arithmetic as being one of the most absurd
of the complexities of pretended commerce.
The terms of arithmetic were the worst
things ever concocted by a nation emerg
ing from semibarbarism. They were,' he
said, neither arithmetic, mathematics,' nor
common sense. Mastering them - was
merely wasting a child's time.
Thla is very true of the old style arith
metics and of most of our modern books.
A series which has recently been pub
lished by. Glnn & Co., .however. Is
noteworthy as being the first to make
the subject vital and genuine. These
books (Smith's Arithmetics) are thoroughly
modern In treatment and at the same
time they conserve all that made the older
works useful.
In' response to the very wide and long
continued demand for "My Mamie Hose-,
The Story of My Regeneration," by Owen
Klldare, the Baker & Taylor Co. has Is
sued an edition In cloth which sells at
1.(I0. The sheets and Illustrations of fhe
new edition remain practically unchanged.
The sale of this book has been extraordi
nary for these days of rupld growth and
early death, of even the most popular
books. Kight editions have been Issued
already, and the sale of the book is still
almost as active as at any period in the
year and a half of Its publication. The
demand for the book to class It
with works of action, and It is to take ad
vantage of this widespread demand that
the publishers have brought out this
cheaper edition.
Among the articles of special reminis
cence about Joseph Jefferson, one of the
most readable Is that by tho Outlook's
"Spectator," printed, with several new pic
tures. In the May magastne number of
the Outlook.
The Pilgrim for May contains, as a spe
cial feature, a double page i of portraits
of ."Living American Composers," the men
and women who are breathing the Ameri
can spirit into- music and creating a dis
tinct American school of composition. Such
a portrait feature as The Pilgrim tar May
affords has never been published by any
magaxlne, and. the. seemingly endless work
of collecting the 175 portraits of living
American composers has at last resulted
In a group picture that, we venture, the
assertion, will be preserved In every home
the inagaslne enters. J" . .' 1

thusiast who hunts birds with the camera,
fitted up one summer a' bird box with a
microphone, from which a Una ran to a
telephone receiver la )b house. With this
arrangement Mr. Lottrldge heard much of
a bluebird family's chat for several weeks.
He has written of his observations of these
little neighbors and their bluebird ac
quaintances for the May St. Nicholas.

In America since its issue last November
