ROBBED OF 100000.
A Valuable Box Stolen From Millionaire
Keller of Chicago.

Keller of Chicago.
CHICAGO, Nov. 20.-John Keller, the mil
honaire dealer. who has an Office on South
Halstead street, was robbed of tin box con-
tanning over 100000 worth of deeds, notes,
mortgages and other valuable collateral last
evening. The story Of the robbery is strange
one and indicates plainly that the robbery was
planned with great care and executed in
most dexterous manner. Mr.. Keller left his
office In the afternoon to make a number of
business calls. He LETT the office of the North
ern Trust Company with the TIN box and drove
to several other business places. By o'clock
he arrived at a wholesale meat market on west
side. He was inside hardly fifteen minutes, but
when he returned the tin box which he had left
in the rear OF the buggy box was gone. Mr.
Keller jumped into the vehicle and drove rap
idly to the Desplaiues street station, where he
reported the robbery and offered q reward Of
$500 for the return Of the box
Capt Hayes at once detailed eight detectives
on the work, and thorough search of the
neighborhood was made without result. There
can be no doubt that it was taken by men who
knew Mr.. Keller and were In some way &C.
qualnted with his business. On such trips the
box frequently contained thousands of dollars
IL it was not money the thieves were looking
for, 1t possibly may have been some one inter-
ested In destroying some Of the valuable papers
the box contained. The work of the detectives
revealed the presence of two men in the vi
entity at the time the robbery was COM
United, and the circumstances indicate strongly
that they are the guilty persons. The work Of
replacing the papers will cost MIR. Keller many
thousands Of dollars.

A FAMOUS ACTRESS.

Mrs. Chapman, the Talented Member
Of the Jefferson Family.
Written for THE EVENING srA.
The announcement is made Of the death of
Mrs. Chapman, 80 well remembered here by
our older citizens, The most talented member
OF the Jefferson family" a. the National In
teAagencer spoke Of her when she was leaving
here in 1910 to 20 to Mobile, where she married
Mr.. Fisher, who was one Of the bright galaxy
Of men, who in those days made the old SPIRIT
OF the Times under the editorial control Of the
late William T. Porter, journal of such pre-.
eminent merit My impression is he contri-
buted over the sign tlge Of the "First Corporal"
and bis contributions were always welcome
reading to the 10 ers Of the Old Spirit. Mrs.
Chapman remember when the Old American
Iheater was under the management of the
venerable grandfather Of Joseph Jeffer-
son and the father of Mrs. Chapman,
aud when she was 1.-The bright particular
star" of not only that theater, but the
theatrical armament Of that day. / can recall
with delight the memory Of her in one especial
character, which clings to my memory through
all the years that have passed and all the num-
Robbers Wife," drama of the day, and a
beautiful one, with . cast now impossible.
David Ingersoll as Mark Redldnd. the robber;
old Mr.. Jefferson as Mr.. Penfuddle. all eccen-
trio lawyer. and Mrs. Chapman as Rose Redland.
About ten years ago I was making q visit to
some friends at New York when Mrs. Fisher
was announced. She had come to give a music
lesson to member Of the family and was in
troduced a. from Washington, when she said
she had known Washington years ago and asked
after some OF the older residents here-Dr. ].
G. Hall, Mr.. Carlisle and Mr.. Richard Wsllach.
Not dreaming was talking to the
Mrs. Chapman associated in the
days OF the Jefferson family and of
Mrs. Chapman in particular, Of her beauty
and talent, musical az well as histrionic,
she said very sadly, II was the Rose Redland
you speak Of" OF counsel was surprised, but
pleased to meet her, though SO changed BY
time, but with the same gentle, lady-Iike man
ner which was characteristic Of her. Her sister,
think, married Mr.. David Ingersoll an ad,
mirable actor, and Mrs. Fishers death takes
from US the only immediate member of that
talented and estimable family, leaving MIR.
Joseph Jefferson an admirable representative
Of . name that will live as long az the drama
has home among u.s. Tyrone Power, in his
