There is noted gang Of burglars il
the city. Secure your fastenings
-. Everything quiet at the State-Houst
yesterday, and even duller than usual.
Mrs. Mary Harrison, accused Of shop
lifting, was honoraoly discharged yesterday.
Administrator Pilsbury has received
tenders of the old bonds to the amount o.
500, 900 for the new premium bonds.
-. The storm Thursday night did consid
cradle damage to hanging signs and dilapi
dated chimneys.
90. There was nothing stirring at court
yesterday, and, saving a few rules in the
nipple in the mornings quiet.
49,. Thieves and burglars are getting alarm.
ingly bold and desperate. 1t is dangerous
thing for even an ''invincible policeman" to
tackle one.
AS silent as the secret flow of contra
band whisky through an illicit still moved the
Internal Revenue Department through its
ordinary grooves this morning. Not seizure
to enliven the Custom. House.
-. Previous to Thursday night everybody
wanted rain, in the hopes that pleasant cool
ness would be the result. Yesterday everybody
breads another rain, for fear that things gen.
erally will commence boiling at the termina-
ton Of such I" dampness.
-. She sits opposite the Cathedral at jack
son Square, and though thirty years have been
told by the never-ceasing hand of the old
clock, she is there to-day with apparently
the same cakes and the same bottles of spruce
beer she had years ago. This old creole
negress has occupied that stand exclusively,
to the position. What changes have been
wrought since Wen Maman first squatted on
her wooden stool there and sold her first
brioche.
80. The Circuit Court was in a flutter
yesterday, the attendance of lawyers being un-
usually large and the outside crowd filling the
lobbies, to hear the counterfeiters sentenced.
Up to noon Judge Woods was engaged in lis
tening to rule to bond funds in the Mar
shal's hands, in the case of Conrad VS.. Wa
piles, and hence the counterfeiters were not SEN
fenced until some time between l and 2
O'Clock, when they were called up, and each
sentenced to three years Imprisonment at
hard labor
49,. That was rather rough joke that was
played on Mr.. Hugo Rsdwi.z. At the late
he
day he received large box tightly nailed,
which it took abo ut fifteen minutes to open.
Opened, it was found to be filled with shaw
ings, and after these had been distributed
about the saloon, another box came to light
It was secured with heavy ropes, which was,
after some exertions, united and the lid of
the box WAS raised. 1t contained saw dust
and in this saw dust was the prize, $15-all
in nickles.
-. Sweet are the uses of advertising. A
few weeks ago friend was so unfortunate as
to lose a trinket, valued at perhaps forty
dollars, but being gift priced by the loser at
q value not measured by the rules of arith-
metic. She advertised her loss, after some
delay, in the BULLETIN, little hoping that her
jewel had fallen into the hands of person
honorable enough to seek to find its owner.
1t SO happened that the finder was of that
class, and sought to discover the owner. See
ing no advertisement, she gave up the attempt
and being in need, pawned the treasure trove
for about one-sixth of its value. Afterwards,
seeing the advertisement, she enclosed the
ticket to the loser addressed to
our office, with her regrets her name and her
residence.
The pains she has taken to restore the
priced article to the owner does her credit and
the incident illustrates the advantages OF ad-
vertising.
