Burglars.

1t seems pretty evident that the
avant couriers of the gang of thieves,
pickpockets, takers and burglars who
will undoubtedly be here during the
fairs have already arrived. Last night
the grocery store of Mr.. John T..
Meyer, on Elm street, was burglarized
and his safe entered. The opening of
the safe was a skillful piece of work,
and shows clearly that experts did it,
and with tools that only professionals
use. Indeed, it was scientific piece
of work, done by cracksmen who
thoroughly understand the business.
They obtained between $50 and 500
from the safe. Our people should
keep close look out for these slick
fingered gentry, and there ought to be
a stronger police force until after the
fairs are over. There is a good rem
edy against burglars, and when ap-
piled to one it invariably cures: 1t is a
full load Of buckshot from good gun
in the region of his diaphram. He
burgles no more after that. The
burglar invariably enters house pre-
pared to do murder, and intending it,
if necessary for his escape or the ac-
complishment ofhis purpose, and they
are worthy of no sent:mentalism
whatever.

Reunited.

The HERALD gave an account some
little time ago of Mas. Corbett aban-
doning her husband, who is proprietor
of the Corbett House, at the Union
depot. 1t seems they had been mar
ried some time ago, separated and
were divorced, but afterwards she re-
turned to him, and they lived to-
gether "yust as goot as married." as
the Dutch girl said, for time. When
she returned from her recent trip of
adventure and sight seeing they mar
ried the second time, and now peace
reigns in the household.

Texas Benevolent Association.

The Texas Benevolent Association
is n mutual organization, relying upon
membership to contribute according
to age and benefits, and has done more
to contribute to the relief Of widows
and orphans Of Texas than any other
order we know of. having paid al
death claims, amounting to over $780,
600, and saved membership over old
line companies nearly two millions.
1t paid more money to the beneficial
ries last year than any other life COM
pany doing business in the State. 1t
is well conducted and in the hands of
the best men. The plan is plain and
equitable. The confidence is placed by
the management in the members, who
alone pay death claims, is similar to
the Knights Of Honor and other or
ders. 1t is Texas organization, con-
Quoted without lodges, and true Tex
ans should vic with each other to sus-
tain this beneflcent organization.

Street Bcggnrs.

The winter approaches and cold
weather is Ell route from Boreal re-
gions, hence the street beggars are
putting in their appearance. In the
summer time, when the weather is
warm, they do the Northern cities and
towns, but, like the migratory fowls,
they come South in the winter. Dali
las has her share Of them; the halt and
the blind and lone lorn widows with
children to pass the cup. and the voice
of the hurdy-gurdy and the accordion
is heard in the land. Many of them
arc no doubt worthy of charity, and
alas. it is not improbable that some of
them are better off in this worlds
goods than hundreds who give to
them.

Girls and Boys Going Pecan Hunting

UlfIS anu ADOy5 OOthS CSoh Ah""s''fs
Tomorrow the young folks of Oak
Lawn, with number of their friends
from the city, have mapped out big
pecan hunt. The young fellows are
to climb the trees and thresh down
the nuts while the young ladies gather
them up. Such fun as they will hav"
6clwccu looking Iuf saasc, and
screeching when worms and bugs get
on them, engaging the attention ofthe
young fe lows getting them of, 1t is
feared they will not gather many pc
cans. But then, what does it matter
The pleasures of the trip will be i'm
mense. The wandering in the woods
in the bright, glorious, fresh air will
make the roses bloom in the cheeks of
the young ladies, and bright eyes will
look love to eyes that will speak again.
All! the glorious dreams of life's
young dawn, when all is rosy and
bright and beautiful, and hope gilds
earth and sky with its sweetest smiles.
1t makes one who has been there sigh.

At about ten o'clock Monday evening a

ter's, Lambs and Martins blocks, and be-
yond them the residences of Mrs. Blake,
Seymour Durkee, III. Manchester, f. Rey-
nolds and A. III. Lamb were soon in flames,
and in an almost incredibly short space of
time were burned to the ground. In an
hours time of all of the buildings named
there was hardly vestige left above the
foundations. Besides the residences named
above, those of Silas Doubleday, Fred Whit
ney and Edward Green were burned A
fair estimate of the damage can not at this
time (midnight) be made. The following
losses are noted: William Tarbell block of
stores; A. n. King, block of stores; l.. C.

were also burned. The total damage is es-
timated at from $4,000 to 100000. 1t can
not be less than $4,000. Nearly all of the
parties are we'll insured. Help was tele-
graphed for TO Northfield, Royalton, West
Randolph and White River Junction, and
even with all this additional assistance it was
with the greatest difficulty that the flames
were subdued.
