I will sav that it is a ong way back to re member, fur I am 83, but I spent my childtiood at Totteridge. A boy at Coombe Bank, Christopher Wadsworth, late Bishop of Lin coln, and Charles Wadsmorlh, Bishop of St. Andrew's were my play-fellows I frankly admit I was very mischievous. The two Wads wort ha and 1 conceived the wicked intention of robbing the vinery. The door was always kept locked, and there was nothing for it but to enter through the roof. There was a dinner party that day, but there mere no grapes. This is probably the only case on record whtre three future bishops were guilty of laroei.y. Were we punished? No, we were discieet. We gave ourselves up and were fore given. "I was always fond of riding, shooting, boatirg and cricketing. I well remember that with the first shot from my g.in I killed a hare. That shot was nearly the means of preventing me froai ever bei oniing &3. My father's game keeper was with me at the time, and he was a very tall, heavy follow, with a tremendous hand.

Notwithstanding this, there is a silent witness to the contrary iu the hole made in the shirt and necktie of the Baltimore's sailor, who was holding Kiuiin in bis arms after Rigin wasstabl e l. ibis hole was made by art bullet of 42-caliber, and prove conclusively the shot was tired by the poliee.

OLD MAN ELOJUEKT. Gladstone Still Maintains Supremacy. His London, Dec. 1. Gladstone was a participant in the exercises at tending the formal opening of the hall at Port Sunlight, near Birken head. He mada-an address of considerable length, devoting much attention to reviewing Sal isbury a argument in the Jjirui ingliam speech. He declared Salisbury seemed ignorant of what was going on in the British em pire. Salisbury had called home rule a capsuled medicine. Doubt less he was an authority on physi ai he had to take several nasty doses in recent years, like that at Hie Moulton election. Salisbury had talked of coming mas.'acres and cruelty in Ireland if the home rule bill passed. The premier was like a silly nurse maid who, when unable to pussify a chdd by rational means, tried to frighten it with stor es ol gobiir.s. They must be patient till Lord Salisbury gave them the oppor tunity of deciding the iiestiou, then they would see such bubbles blown into the air and the reign of justice and good sease restored in politics. Two reasons lor placing home rule in the van of Liberal policy were justice to Ireland and the necessity of clearing the road for other legislation. Speaking on the labor question. Gladstone said the problem could only be solved by eound civil, sec ular and Christian teeling, and respect for mutual rights. Profit sharing is attract ive.but there was the question ot what to do when there was loss instead of profit. Strikes were on'y adapted to what he might ca'l a rude ttate of in- dustry BOLD TRAIN ROBBERY Masked Men Capture an Express Car in Missouri, IUKI SECURED A LARGE SUM. Fon toao 8hots Tired-Tht Safa Blown Opn With Djniir.iU end the Mei ssnger Injured. Sr. L-juU, D.c. 1. Last n'g!- robbery wai committed I- men who boarded tbe tru'i Orchard. Two got ca the ifi.i end and two on the rear ami bag gage car. Toe others were in the coach. The two on the rear end of the baggage car entered it and blew open the pafe, taking all the contents. Express Messenger Mullrenn wa badly injared ly the explosion. When the two robbers piloted Ihe engineer and fireman to tiie ear, tliey p'acd them under a guarJ and tried to induce the messenger to opeu the door of the ir. 1 be latter being obdurate, a Htick ot dynamite was placed against the car and exploded. In a minute puother stick was es- pioded at the car door, which fell ic. The i tbers then entered the ear, and, taking the key from the mes-!epg'T, soou had the sate open. Everything in the t-afe was taken, and also the messenger's gold watch aud chain. Estimate? ns to the amounts secured vary widelv, ranging from $20.1 0 ) to' f-V,0;i), !uit nothing li Unite is vet known on this Hiut. Supi : inteudciit Dam el, of the express company, says it will he several days before It. e exact amount can be ascertain ed. While the two robb rs were doing the work at the exorcs car, the other four bandits kept the re mainder of the trin crew and passengers iu a etate of terror, a cons ant fusdadit hing kept up all the while. Fourteen shots were fired into the smoking car, but foituna'ely, no one was bit. On the south side of the tiai-k, about l-"i t yards frjm where the robbery oeeiirred, is a wagon road running Ihtntt .h a strip of woods. Along his rood the ilntec'ives who went t the scene 1 ist irg'it found frech tracks ol hor-es an I a wagon com ing toward Si. Iami'is.

Ttie only deseliptioil of the robbi'rs obtained is ol tbe two thai climbed into the engine. One of tliem was a young man, till, with light complexion and heavy uius taehe. The other had dark com plexion, d irk clothing, about live feel 8 x, a sinister-looking ee. wav very quick iu motion, and both had light overcoats. The tirft r-v irirls that the ixistal cir also wa- denuded are erroneo as autheii ticated reports sav that onlv the express car was at'ackel. Ex prei-s Messenger Mullrenn is said to have been seriously injured in the hip by the explosion, and bat tered about the head by the butt end of a revolver in the hands of the haiuits. A larg5 posse are making arch for the bandits. A HO VA L. SCAN Hi I. ('mill ItasseU Sues Her JIus banil rir lliroice. London, Dec. 1.

Mills ami Crisp are Bath C'onfl cfent f Success Olhar Cea dldates. Wasiiixuton, Dec L The speakership contest is increasing in liveliness and interest each day, a:id this morning there was a fair accession made to tbe list of mem bers in town. All live candidates have fx pressed themselves as h iief jl, and reported matters as progrers ng eatisfactirilv from their point of view. General Catchiugs. of Mississippi, one of Crisp's chief lieutenants, claims tint his candidate has captured the entire democratic delegation from New Jersey. Crisp's friends also said ther had assuiancc! of four votes from New hngland. Mills is sanguine. His lor.es are workirg favorably to his interests, ansl he expressed hints -If as entirely confident of ti e result. The Mills men are en deavoring to make New England a unit, and they say say they ex pect all the votes from that section except two. This claim, however, is not conceded by the other can didates, nor ia Crisp's claim to New Jersey conceded. McMillan said to- lay he saw no reason to eliai g- his opinion that the fight will be a long one in which case his strength would increase, and that he felt matters were going along Satifcfactorily. 8piineer is also in a cheerful mood, and said ic 'vis more than holding his own r e-;ect to "first choice" votes. a I to-day made material ' s i i providing for the event i among the other candi Ttat rasny representa .: -iven him assurances i u . . their votes whenevei ihi r anged. The arrival tc-day ot J ige Holman, of Indiana, and the announce ment of his position upon the speakership matter .s awai.ed with some interest. Friends of Mills express more confidence than those of any one else of securing his support. At Hatch's bead quarters it was said "things were quiet." Candidates for the miner offices are beginning an active " campa:gn. Marsh, of Pennsyl vania, has practically withdrawn fiom ttie contest for clerk of tho house, and Pennsylvania is advo cating the claims of Kerr, whi'e Indiai a is urging Dalton's selec tion for postmaster.
