Hughes then remarked, In his
opinion: at strikes me that . pa

A MONKEY BURGLAR.
He Invades Sleeping Apartments and

William Whiteman of No. 200 West 18th
street, New York. has Gagged at his house q
ring-tailed monkey, who has given the neigh
bors for blocks around no end Of trouble for
| the past few weeks. Where the monkey came
from is not known, but whoever appears to
claim him will have to foot bill Of damages
Not long ago servant girl slumbering in her
room on West 10Th street was awakened by
gentle tap on her cheek. She saw q hideous
face peering into hers and she screamed "mur-
der" and ran. When help arrived nothing was
found and she was looked upon as q victim Of
nightmare. Soon various articles in every
house in the row began to disappear aud no
trace could be found by the mystted owners.
Preserves were stolen from larders, clothing
disappeared from wash lines, valuable flower
beds were torn up, food was also stolen and
finally hair brushes and toilet articles went
the way of the rest The vicinity was terror
ized and men with guns sat by windows all
night trying to lind the marauder, but without
avail. One day lady saw a little monkey sit
ting on the fence in her rear yard calmly ex-
tracing sweets from JAR She at once recog-
nized the jar as one of several which had
been taken from her larder. The monkey,
knowledge, however, was OF little utility, as the
monkey kept up his thefts. One day he was
seen opening jewel case and carrying away
the diamonds.
The police were notified but they could do
nothing with the pest. The menagerie people
at Central park were also called upon, but
they could not catch him aud his reign con-
tinued. One very cold morning a few days
ago MIR. Whiteman found him shivering be-
side his kitchen fire. He is now awaiting the
appearance OF his owner and the children of
the house have made quite pet OF him.

can they have failed to notice that very large

three-cornered pieces hanging down and DIS
closing the skin Of the fur. The number Of
condolences of this sort have frequently caused
comment, but it was only the other day that a
Ianes reporter overheard an explanatory con-
versation regarding this fashionable tear in
one of the big dry goods stores.
A lady wearing one OF these torn capes was
accosted by another, who said
Il beg your pardon, madame, your cape is
torn and should it catch in a projection the
result would be ruin to your wrap"
