Chicago, Meech 2.—An uneucceseful
attempt to assitesinate Gana'
Shippey, Chief of Chicago Pollee De-
pertine1t,. was made as the officer wee
leaving his residence this morning.
The Chief, his son anti his driver,
James Foley, -were attached by two
mon with revolvers. Young Ship-
pey .and the driver wore wounded.
The Chief returned the fire killing
one at hie assailants outright. The
Chief, it is reported, was stabbed, in
the right arm duripg the affray.
The attack is supposed to have
beer. made by anarchistfollowing
the recent activity of the Chicago. pol-
ice after the tragedy it Denver.
Harry Shippey is seriously hurt,
but Foley will probably recover, The
Chief's wound is trivial. The
ant entered Shippey's home while the
Chief and his son were alone in one
of the rooms, The man is said to
have handed Chief Shippey a letter,
which the Chief opened and • began
to read. Almost imnunediately the
anarchist drew a revolversand fired at
Harry Shippey. The boy fell to the
floor and his father grappled with the
sissailant,
' Foley attracted by the shooting
rushed to his employer's aid. As the
eereant entered the room the .atiarchs.
ist broke .from the Chiefgrasp, aim-
ed 'deliberately and shoe Foley twice,
Again the Chief closed with the man
and the latter turned on him. with a
knife. Shippey attempted to grasp
theweapon and received a deep out
on the hand. The official then suc-
ceeded in reaching his own revolver
and fired shot after shot' into the
would-be assassin's body.
The .attaok on the Chief is believed
to be inspired by the recenty notaerity
of the Chicago police following the
killing of, Rev. Lee. Heinrichs, a Ro-
man Catholic priest, who was -shot
byan anarchist in Denver while the
priest was adminietetiug the sacra-
ment to his slayer.

LAND OF LIBERTY.
FRENCH-CANADIANS SATISFIED
WITH BRITISH RULE.
La Patrie Refers to the Speech of Dr,
Thompson, IVLP„ for the Yukon,
as Badly Inspired and Not Fiepres
..sentine Canadian Opinion. •
_ Montreal, March 1.—In an editorial
in Le Petrie on Dr. Thompson's speech
the following loan] sentiments are ex-
pressed: "We are aware," saysLa
Petrie. that a few people in Canada
have had areams of independence, but
no one ever thinks of the thing to -day.
The chilling reception accorded yester-
day by the House will prove to the
member for the Yukon , how badly he
was inspired and how fir he was from
expressing the true feelings of the
Canadian people. Let us add, especially,
that French-Canadians disapprove of
this unfortunate speeca. Our English
fellow -citizens have their reasons for
remaining faithful to the British flag,
but we also have reasons more powerful
than sentiment. We have that cif in-
terest as well. In the condition of
e numerical inferiority in which we are
placed to -day what does independence
ineart if not almost hnmediate absorption
by the United States? Can any one be-
lieve than our language, our religion, our
laws,. and in fact all our most sacred
prerogatives would bave the same' ain•ple
and liberal protectioit as under the pre -
out regime? Hon. Mr. ROHS peoeittimed
proudly in Neve Yolk a short thne ago
that in Canada rather than in the United
States reigns the real spirit of liberty.
trhere has been friction more or lees in
the past, but to -day England understands
!toddy her mission. The French-Canadian
people are as one man with the position
taken by Sir Wilfrid Laurier on the sub-
ject, and never do we lose an occasion
to repeat that they itre proud to live
beneath the shadow of the British flag,
the symbol of true liberty."

DARING ROBBERS.

Suburban Branch Drop Behind
Counter When Ordered to Hold
Up Hands, and Robbers Afraid to
Follow Them.
Winnipeg, Leah Isa-Leet night this
city was the scene of a sensational at-
tempt at bank robbery, Which recalls
the days of Jesse James Ana which in-
diclates that the bad gang which has
been operating in the Dakotas for some
time past have probably (messed the
border. A number of branch banks
remain open on Satttray evenings. to
accept deposits on savings bank ac-
eounte, and this gave the desperadoes
an opportunity that would be impos-
sible in regular banking hours.

. We have spoken A great deal alsout the
dignity of labor in this country, but we
have not acted up to our spoken words
fer in our eclueation we have tended to
proceed upon the assumption that the
eaucated man was to be educated away
from and not toward labor. The great
nations of mediaeval times who left
euelt Marvelous weeks of architecture
and are behind them were able to do 00
because they educated alike the brain
and the hitind of the craftsman, We, too.
in our turn eat show owl we under
staud the law which decrees that a peo-
ple which loses physical address invaria-
bly deteriorates so diet our people
hall understand that the good carpen-
ter, the good. blacksmith, the good mech-
anic, the good farmer, reelly do fill the
most important positions in our land
arta that it is an evil thing for them
and for the nation to have their sons
end daughters forsake the -work: wlilelt
a well and efficiently performed xneans
more than any other work for our peo-
ple as a 'whole.
One thing that I would. like to have
you teach your pupils is that wbether
you call the money gained salary or
wages does not make any real differ-
ence, and that if by working hard with
your bands you get more than if you
work with your head only it does not
atone for it to call the anueller amount
salary. The term "dignity of labor" inn
plies that manual labor is as dignified
its merital labor; as of course it is,
the highest kind of labor is that
which -makes the demands upcin the
qualities of both head and hand, of
heart, brain and body. Physical prowess,
physical address, are necessities; they
stand on a level with intellect, and only
below character. Let us show thatnve re-
gard the position of the man who works
with his hands as being ordinarily and
In good faith as important and digni-
fied and as worthy of consideration as
that of business man or professional
man. We need to have a certain read-
justment a values in this country.
which =mit primarily come through the
efforts of jut you men and women
here and the men and. women like you
throughout this land.
I want to see oar education directed
more and more toward training boys
and. girls back to the farm and the
shop, so that tIley will be first rate far-
mers, first rate mechanics, fit to week
with the hencel and to work with the
hands and, realizing that work with tbe
hands is just as honorable as work with
the bead. In addition I want to see a
training that will make every boy,* ev-
ery girl leaving the public sehocas of
the nation feel impelled so to carry aim -
self or herself that the net result -when
his or her Iife Itas been lived shall be
an addition to the sum total of decent
Living and achievement for the station.
and have them understand that they are
never going to amount to much in the
big things if they don't first aanount
to something in tAtic! little things,
CHILCOTT BURIED.
He Was Sickly and Easy Victim to
Drugs.
Detroit, Mich., March 2.—It has de
veloped in connection with the death
of Edward Chilcott, of Toronto and
Hamilton, who died in the sanitarium
after being removed from a Chicago
train last Wednesday, that his right
lung was perforated in four places by
tuberculosis. Never of a very robust
constitution, Chilcott's heart was af-
fected and his liver abnormal. He
must have been an easy victim to
drugs. The organs show the presence
•..if a powerful narcotic poison, pre-
atunably morphine. The police Imre
have no doubt, but that Matte was
accompanied out of Chicago on the
ill fated Wednesday by two crooks,
who doped and robbed him.
Chilcott's body was butted in Pros-
pect eernetery,• Toronto, to -day.
