THE THIEF IN THE CLUBHOUSE.
Inspector Byrnes Believes Professional
Robbed the Palma,s Tafe.

Inspector Byrnes Believes Professionals
Robbed the Paina's Tafe.
The key and the case opener found near
the Palma Club safe on the morning fol-
lowing its robbery were shown to Police
Inspector Byrnes, of New York, yester-
day. The Inspector said that the key is q
regular burglars skeleton, so adjusted as
to fit any lock; and that it is worth $40 or
$25, and he has no doubt The burglary
was done by professionals. Wood & Me-
nagh, of this city, when shown the case
opener, said that such steel as thatinstru-
ment was made of is seldom seen, and
that it was worth its weight in gold.
The robbed safe is an old pattern lock
safe, designed to protect books from fire,
but not to secure money against burglars.
The money taken was that received from
the late entertainment; there were some
other checks, but they did not represent
a considerable amount.
The safe stands neal a window, through
which one can look into the clubhouse
from the street. A Jet on the segar case
near by lights it. But Fred Wolbert, enc
of the members, says that passing there
the other night, he noticed that only
about six inches of the top Of the safe
and that the thief could, by
crouching easily hide himself from view.
The burglars left about $50 or $50 worth
of bowling prizes untouched in the segar
case, md took only the money.
The theory of the club members and of
President Muirheid is that the burglars
went prospecting at the club house one
night when something was going on that
drew a crowd in which.they would not be
noticed, and determined what kind of
tools one needed to admit them through
the door of the club house, and what kind
- G..
the safe.
just why, If the work wa done by pro-
fessionals, the rascals should have left
their valuable tools behind is not salts
factorily explained.
One of the members advances the as
founding theory that the very considerable
thieves wanted to let the club members
know that no one in charge of the rooms
or connected with the club was guilty of
the robbery.

Thomas jefferson, when about four
years old. was playing with his blocks
one day when the sound of an infant
sister came drifting in from the dis
tant nursery. 1T seems to me-" re-
marked the infant statesman, pausing
in his childish labor, ''or rather it
strikes me that Anna Maria has taken
her base on bawls." But interposed
the hypercritical reader, Thomas
Jefferson had no sister Anna Maria
and baseball and its slang were I'M
known in his time.n Yes, all that /
know; but / agree with MI. Howells
that in a novel dealing with modern
life "a plot of close texture is not only
unnecessary, but is an anachronism."
But" you say, 1.-THE infancy of
Thomas Jefferson is not a feature of
modern life" No goosey; but base
ball is. Go, get thee to a kindergar-
ten and learn the simple canons of

THE MORRIS CANAL
1t May Not BE Closed for Five Years, if

1t May Not Be Closed for Five Years, If
at All.
The use of the waters of the Morris
Canal for a new water supply Of Newark,
indicates the speedy closing of the canal.
Some of the coal dealers say. however,
that boatmen assure them that the canal
company has ordered twenty-five new
boats, and that this does not look like
closing up right away.
Others point to the fact that the canal
company Is building new bridges double
the present necessary width as evidence
that the intention is to replace the canal
with a railroad. Peter NJ. sMellick, the
canal company's agent in this city, says
that the canal will not be closed for five
years, not until a new main line from
Roselle to New York over the Newark
meadows and through Bergen Hill to
Greenville is finished.
