I After striking down William Dobson. cashier in the office of the Candian Express Company, with an iron pipe, a lone man*vaulted the counter this afternoon just before 5 o'clock and made off with a package containing $14,165 in cash. He had a confeder ate who stood outstde the door, and Che two disappeared down the street. ' Efforts on the pArt of the police to locate the pair have thus far been fu tle. The package contained several consignments from . the banks here to their branches In Hamilton and [^Toronto. It is believed the men made a atudy__of the situation- and learned that It was customary to ship money on* the train leaving here at 4:55 every afternoon. i , Found in Pool of-Rlood. The first known of the robbery was when R. B*uco Brown, agent In charge here, entered the office to get the waybills and the package of money.

Nothing better could be done for agriculture than to extend the oppor tunities for industrial training as re^ spects the colored people; he. need hardly say that the habit of settled industry was not natural to all races. He believed that such institutions as Hampton and Tuskegee wore doing immeiisw Ruud by sending out men 'wfco Knew sOraMMhg 5T agriculture as an Industry, in which skill was useful, and who had acquired .the habit of steady and assiduous* work. Every one who came from those in stitutions was a pioneer among the more backward members of his race, helping to lead them onward.' What he had seen made him hopeful that with encouragement and extendMa|0k cilltles for. Industrial training the col ored people would become more ef ficient workers. The other great need for the prog ress of agriculture was a still ampler apfflicatlan of scientific knowledge to farming operations. In some Qf*he States, such as Illi nois, WiscSirafn, and Iowa, the vjflue of vast tracts has be$n doubled by the application eg science to tillage and to dairying.
