Recent Happenings i'm that Part
Of the city.
The University Place Improvement
Society was addressed on Friday
night last by DR.. Northrup, who is on
a lecture tour OF this coast. He showed
the vast importance of tree planting,
and said it should be encouraged by
a statutory law, as in the Northwest,
where Nebraska, the american
DESERT" had been made to "bud and
blossom as the rose" He encouraged
the audience, which was not large, to
push the efforts of the society to
beautify University Place, already
beautiful, and make it 'joy for
ever" 1inafn4
The regular monthly meeting will be
Friday night next.
The Easter service at the Univer-
sity Church was monopolized by the
children in the morning. The recita-
tons, singing, ETC., were interesting.
At the close, four wee collectors went
through the large audience, gathering
in $2S as the children's missionary
offering. The evening was devoted to
missionary effort, the w. F. M. Soci-
ETY. taking entire control. Miss Laura
Bell recited in her own inimical way
colloquy between an old darkey
woman called Thanksgiving Anna
and her employer, showing the i'm
portance of systematic giving. The
quaintness Of the piece and the nc
less quaintness of the rendition greatly
pleased the audience.
Mrs. DIR. Dougherty, then related
the history OF this society since 1863
Its inception was very small, having
been organized by nine ladies in
Boston. 1t has increased so that
many thousands are now under the
influence Of the Gospel, the barr
of the prisons of women, incarcerated
by the absurd customs from time
immemorial, are broken and they are
rising from the head Of brutes to intel
ligent womanhood. She thought
there was everything to stimulate
them to increased exertion in thi,
great work.
Mrs. Lloyd at the close, read pa
per showing the Importance of syste
matte giving. Mrs. Umstead, Mrs
Howes, Mrs. Talchard and Mrs. Bixb,
passed around the baskets and col
| lected $2S.

ANOTH ER DIAMOND ROBBIE ERY.
Tkr.e Thousand Dollars Worth
of Kings Disappear.


One Of the most daring burglaries
that has taken place for some time
occurred last Saturday afternoon, be-
tween the hours of l2 and l o'cock, in
one of the busiest and most crowded
thoroughfares of the city. A China
wenf into the large jewelry store Of
Mr.. T. II. Klages ,, adjoining the Opera
House, on Main street, and asked to
be shown some clocks. Usually there
are three or four clerks in the store !;
it happened that on that day the pro-
prietor's son was the only person in
the store, his father having just gone
to lunch. The Chinaman was taken to
the rear of the store and there shown
several clocks which he examined at
some length, without making pur-
chase, and then left. About an hour
afterwards, as the son was going down
the side of the store, he missed tray
of diamond rings from one of the
showcases. He was not troubled by
the cit cumstance, as he thought his
father had taken the tray Of diamonds
out OF the showcase to wash them,
The assistant, who returned to the
shop shortly alter, also noticed
that the tray was missing
and he thought the same as
the son, as it was customary to
remove the tray and wash the dia-
monds. About O'Clock P. NJ. Mr.. Kla-
ges came to the store, and on being
asked if he had put the
diamonds away, the trio
were thunderstruck when he
replied that he had seen them in the
showcase as he went to lunch. The
son recalled the circumstance of his
going to the rear OF the store to show
the clock to the Chinaman, and it was
probably then that the robbery was
committed. Whoever had dnne it
had either walked or crawled into the
shop and simply opened the show
case, which is within a
few feet of the door, and
seized the tray and withdrawn.
The Chief OF Police was notified
and he at once took all steps possible
to discover clue to the perpetrator OF
perretra.ors of the bold burglary The
pawn-shops were notified to look out
for anyone attempting to sell any Of
the diamonds and the police author.
tiles at San Francisco and other towns
were notified. There were fifteen rings
in the tray, and their value was in the
neighborhood OF $4,000. Close to the
tray in the case were two sets of dia
mond earrings valued at 5000 each
which the thief might have taken al
well as not.

widest excitement ensued. Women
shrieked and fled, and men stood up, until
q big elder shouted, "Bruise dat dor sar

ahoes went down, but the snake was not
there 1t quietly disappeared, and the
frightened people we're brought back to

the text, "The seed Of women shall bruise
the serpent's head, when whole series oi
