BURGLARS MAKE AN UNSUCCESSFUL VISIT TO
HOUSE IN THE WEST END.
Burglars made an attempt this morning to
rob the house of Mr.. A. A. Hayes, 1717 Rhode
Island avenue, but succeeded only in sampling
Mr.. Hayes wines and cigars although they had
collected together much of the valuable silver
ware and other articles in the house. About ten
minutes before four o'clock Mrs. Hayes heard
the knob of her room door turn. The door was
locked on the inside. Mrs. Hayes went at once
TO L he door, and saw a ray of light streaming
through an aperture. She called, "whO is
there?' and, receiving no reply, threw open the
door. She saw no one, but heard the steps OF
man rapidly descending the stairs. Mr. Hayes
having by this time been aroused took revolt
yer and went on double-quick down the
stairs but did not Overtake the burglar or burg
lars. When he reached the dining-rooIn he felt
"a blast of cold air and discovered that one of
the windows opening upon the yard in the rear
was open. He went over the house carefully
and found evidences of visit from burglars in
all the rooms of the main floor. Drippings from
wax candle were found on the carpets. From
the drawers OF sideboards and cabinets the
burglars mad collected all the silverware and
other articles of value. They had helped them
selves to Mr.. Hayes cigars and sampled and re-
freshed themselves with his liquors. The silver
ware was all ready to take from the house. but
in their hasty retreat the burglars left it. They
had gained entrance to the house by climbing a
fence in the rear and forcing the bolt of one of
the dining-rOom windows with a knife.

CLEARING OUT THE BOGUS CoUNTRYMEN AT

made things lively there last mig and this
morning clearing the b street side of the mar.
ket OF hucksters and haulers who stand there
as country people and sen produce. The prac-
tice has grown to such an extent in the past
few years that it has been almost impossible
tor genuine countryman to obtain u staud
without going on the south side. OF the street.
This morning, however, the line presented q
different appearance. The dealers In the mar
ket objected TO alleged countrymen standing
around the market without paying license,
while such inside dealers are compelled to nav
$25 each year. There have also been com.
plants made by persons who send children To
market with instructions TO purchase articles
from countrymen, and who have been imposed
upon by some OF these outside hucksters.

Decay of Mechanical Skill.

To the Editor of the indianapolis journal:
Apropos Of much discussion Of labor matters,
is there not a decline in the lesser mechanical
arts2 Some weeks ago gentleman of a neigh
boring city desired some shelves built in his law
Office. The work would have employed good
workman for about two hours. but the mechanic
he engaged proved to be slow and indifferent
one, and did not progress very we'll Six o'clock
found the job very near completion. but at the
first sound of the whistles he dropped his ham
mer and prepared to leave. The lawyer asked
that as a favor to himself the work be finished,
as he would be busy with clients on the following
day. and would not want to be disturbed but
without any reason save that his work-day was
over, the artisan refused to proceed. The
promise OF additional pay failed to secure his
further services, and he had his own way.
One other instance: A friend left a pair of
shoes with shoemaker for repairs. They were
to have been ready at noon on the following day,
but the cobbler pleaded great press of other mat
tiers as an excuse for failing to do the work as
promised. On three successive days he made
similar excuses, and then handed over a parcel
containing the shoes on the evening of the fifth
day. The job was paid for, the supposition be-
ing that the work was we'll done. This illusion
was dispelled when. after arriving home, my
friend found that from heel to toe the shoes
fairly bristled with tacks which stood up on the
inside in a very deadly fashion. Another trip to
the shoemaker was. of course, necessary.
A dozen petty annoyances of this kind are
brought to mind, and the question arises: Are
not mechanics losing interest in their work and
becoming careless and Indifferent as shorter
hours and more privileges are acquired,

Big Haul by a Young Thief.

Boston. June 9-Last week the police author
tiles were notified by one of the largest real es-
tate, trust and insurance firms, that they had
stolen from them box containing large
number of valuable legal papers relating to the
proprietorship of estates valued at more than
$500,000 some $1,000 in gold coin and
unregistered United States bonds to tbs value of
$34, 900. This property was in tin box. and no
clew to its disappearance could be guessed at by
the firm. It transpires that office
boy, John Ellis, aged thirteen, stole it and
hid it in an archway in the old
postoffce building several squares away. Ellis
knocked the cover of, helped himself to somsso
the gold, and, not knowing the value of the Sc
curities, scattered them on the floor of the pass
age-way, where passers-by walked over them
till they were torn and dirty. Finding
he was watched, the boy got the box,
and, to make sure that he put all the
papers back. he scraped up all the dirty
waste paper that had accumulated in the arch
way. He brought the box back to the Office
where it was found on Tuesday. Young Ellis
was arrested The legal papers were much dam
aged All but 81 900 in gold was recovered. IL
is said that Ellis began his stealing by taking
postage stamps, which were legal tenders at q
Williams court pie-stand.

ed the course of study standing second in q class
of four graduates in the highs school Expecting
to appear before the public she saved her earn
ings and prepared herself for the occasion. She
had her literary production all ready aud had
submitted il to the faculty. To her astonish-
ment. at late hour she was informed that she
could not appear before the public with the other
members of the class, for no other reason but her
color. Helpless and almost broken hearted. she
was compelled to submit to the outrage She is
deserving of more credit than any member of
the class. In this place there is a primary col
ored school, but no high school separate from the
white. When she had passed through the
primary department. through the effort of white
friends she was entered as a studentin the high
school with white youths She remained here
for one year, when she was thurst out of her
class and told that it she desired to pursue the
high school course she could do so among the
colored children in the primary school. and reclte
to the teacher of said primary school. This she
was compelled to do abandon the course.
For two years she pursued her studies at this
great disadvantage, supporting herself at the
same time by doing house work mornings, even
ings, and Saturdays devoting hours 20 study
while other pupils of the high-school were
asleep. While other students had all the ad-
vantages of wealth, leisure, and the best
teachers in the high school, she was compelled
to struggle against all the above discourage
ments and disadvantages. and now, after sur
mounting them all. to be treated as she is looks
like adding insult to injury How long will it
be before the prejudice arising out of the in
iautous system of slavery, will cease, and Just
merit. wherever found, receive its true rewards
Yours, III. HARRIS.
