sulting in a verdict for the plaintiff. Mar

the full amount in favor Of Mr.. Springer.

Lady burglar.

The indiscriminate use, or rather
abuse, Of the word lady" was well illus
trated by an account which lately sp-
peared in one of the New York papers
describing "a lady burglar This
lady" had been a cook in a family. and
was discharged on account of drunken
ness. To get even with her employers
she attempted to steal all their portable
articles of value and her '1advship" was
promptly locked up. A lady burglar,
to say the least, is a manifest impossi

Grammar schools-No /, boys 10 va
cancies, no applications; girls, 20 vacan-
cies, no applications; No 4, boys, 20

Nos. 21 and % have and 10 respectively
Total 30 vacancies and 80 applicants.
Superintendent Harlan estimates that

string accommodations in school No ~

This estimate shows that there is Q
total Of 491 vacancies and 1876 applicants
OF 285 more seats than pupils in the pub

allowed This was decided in favor Of
the grange-s. The railroad company
also wanted the hearing at some other
