c 'snment on Booths Performance o.

ality The Tagblatt says the strange
effect of the polyglot..performahce was
soon removed By the interest in the
chief impersonat:r. We soon found
that we were 10 the presence Of one
Of our chief masters o. the dramatic
art. His Hamlet is Of commaDdipe
poblenesss, and will long be remem
bered. The Yossische Zsithug says;
The impersonation was full of life
aud spirit. 1t exhibited by turns deep
pathos and finest irony, The Lorssn
Courier, in a similar strain, says: The
impersonatiou is a perfect aud living
whole one part Of which appears to be
necessary compliment to the other.

AMONG other items in Colonel
Polks list Of expenditures, if he SEES
ct to make full statement, it would
not be surprising to 6nd that large
'oontributiOns were made by him TO
certain campaign funds, 1t was often
remarked, as matter Of surprise, that
some men who never pay their own
debts, and are Sheriff proof, suddenly
became conspicuous, and could travel
over the State for weeks in a manner
that requires considerable money
They were gO'd fellows, however, and
as Polk is universally admitted to be a
good fellow, possibly he Helped the
impecu Nous ones out Of the public
crib, hoping that they would get Offices,
get rich, aud pay him back. Another
theory advanced is, that he had in.
vested largely in the "new issue oil
Tennessee money and was holding il
subject to the expected decision oil
the United States Supreme Court
We believe that, if he makes a state
ment at all, it will be straightforward
and to the point. The best service be
can render to the State, and the bes
thing for himself, will be to make a
clean breast Of the whole business.

A BOLD BURGLARY
And Quick Capture Of the Youthful
Thieves. r
Two Boys Arrested for Breaking Into a
Cigar Shop-A Kleptomaniae in Horse
Flesh-Whatthe Fire Bugs Cost.

Wheeling has a reputation for her young
criminals. For years past she has been
ornamented by a gang Of youthful thieves
and supplemented by the almost infantile
fire bugs, and now two more more boys
come to the front in the roles Of burglars
Aboutmidnight, yesterday morning, thieves
broke into the cigar and tobacco shop of
Yahrling Bros, 26ll Cbapline street, and
made away with a lot of cigars and 81. 30 in
money. The noise made was heard by Mr..
Goudy, next door, who gave the alarm to
Mr.. Yahriing and the party appeared on
the scene in time to see several boys disap'
pear down Tventy-sixth street, in the
direction of the Belmont mill.
Officer Nolte, who lives near by, was sum-
moned. and the strengthened party went
in search OF the thieves. At the corner OF
Main and ~Thirty-sixth streets they divided
and circumnsvigated the mills: In passing
the rear OF the Bemont, Mr.. Iahrling
smelled tobacco smoke, and peering clu-
tiously into one of the ash pits, discovered a
group engaged in industriously putting
AWAY on his cigars. He got another OF the
party and two OF the four were seized and
the other two disappeared. The two cap:
trred turned out to be Edward Zane and
Harry Freeze, and on their persons were
found cigars, etc, stolen from the burglar,
lied factory. officer Nolte came up and
the bows were marched of to Jail. They
said the two who had escaped were tramPs,
and were waiting for al outgoing freight
train upon which to leave the city; but
this story is not believed, as the trains were
watched and carried no such dead-head
passengers.
Yesterday morning the boys were given
q hearing before Justice Philips, who com
mitted them to Jail, in default OF 500 bond
each. One of these promising boys was
lust fourteen years of age, last Sunday, on
which day he celebrated in the manner
above described. This offence, breaking a
house in the night time, is a felony, under
the law.
