The Fate of Three Little Basket

New YORK, February 22-An
OneOnta, New York, dispatch says
three boys living in Exeter, named
Patrick, Martin and Michael O'Brien,
aged respectively eight, ten and
eleven years, were frozen to death
during the intense cold weather OF
last week. 1t appears the father and
mother are lazy and dissipated peo-
pie, and live on the fruits of the Ia
Dor of their children, who were seven

baskets, and the three others just
named travelled on foot about the
country selling them. On Tuesday
last the thermometer in Exeter
marked 25o below zero. Mr.. aud
Mrs. 0'Brien told their three little
children that they mus. start out
with a lot Of baskets. The boys
begged to be allowed to wait until
the weather moderated. They were
poorly clad. The parents forced
them, however, to go out. They

The taste for art steadily increases,
though perhaps not in the regular
channels of painting and sculpture
as in the more familiar direction Of
decorative art The best houses In
New York have genuine artists IN
their employ for the finer portions OF
their work. Tiffany & Co.'S artist
made the design for the vase to be
presented to William Cullen Bryant,
which bore away the palm. from nu-
merous competitors; and more than
one furnishing company keeps q score
of artists in their employ who design
the interior of rich houses, so that
wall haDgings, curtains and carpets
all belong to each other, and are
made for each other. The fittings for
the Philadelphia parlor Of q wealthy
banker were all in Egyptian style.
The pale tapestry carpets, the up
holstery o fthe antique coucbes woven
for the suite, and the hangings, which
represented desert scenes, were tap
estry fne as mellow painting, at dis
lance enough to lose sight of the
stitches. This compound Of light

to spend on one suite of parlors. A

house here q parlor suite that cost

The amount looks very large for
these hard times, but it is not bust.
ness men, or those in active business,
who do these things. 1t is those who
have accumulated great fortunes in
stocks, gold, oil, or in some other
way, and who have hauled out of
the current with more money than
they know what to do with. 1t
seems horrible that with so much
distress in the country these immense
sums should be spent on mere rna
m%entation; but it is a comfort to
know that if the money must be thus
spent it is all paid out in the eoLn-
try. The American artists and me-
chanics have outstripped their French
competitors and to-day stand confess
edly in the van.

at all. How long this stag natiOn is

Daring burglary and ROBBERY.

The Lancaster Express says A.:
One Of the most daring burglaries
ever perpetrated in this city took
place at the residence Of officer VIII
liam Powell, No. 233 West King
street. At that hour an entrance
was effected to the dwelling by pry-
ing open a shutter at the East end Of
the building, which is situated on an
alley. The FIRST intimation of the
presence of the burglars was when
they appeared in the sleeping apart
ment of Mr.. and Mrs. Powell, who
occupy separate beds. There were
three men unmasked, apparently
Germans, and Mr.. Powell is conf
dent he could recognize them.
One of the men, seeing hat Mrs.
p. was swske, approached the bed
and placed 9 pistol to her head,
threatening her with instant death if
she gave any alarm. One of the
others siezed Officer Powell by the
throat, and finding that (olthough
prosarated by long continued iliness)
be meant to resist, beat him over the
heed and face until be fell back in
sensible. The third man, mean
while, broke open and rihed a trunk
in the room, which contained $43S.IO
in money, which Mr.. Powell had
collected in city taxes as an officer
Of the law. Every cent of this was
taken, aud the burglars made good
their escape with their booty.
