Monday morning the Janitor of the Riddle
Block discovered that some one had effected an
entrance to the boiler room of the building by
forcing the east door. Calling officer Goodenough
the visitor was soon apprehended, and prov ed to
be Harry Fox. a lad of about 16 years. son of N
Z. Fox. He was taken to Jail and locked up on
charge OF burglary. About two years ago this
boy was sent to the Reform Farm. at Lancaster,
for incorrigible conduct, but while there he Sc
cured for himself the highest praise from those
IN charge. and b ad. by good behavior and assid-
uous attention to the requirements of the insti-
tuition, advanced himself to an enviable height
among the inmates. in consequence of which, in
June last, he was released on parole. Returning
home he expressed a desire to go to school and
make himself useful, and for a time appeared to
appreciate the advantag with which he was
surrounded. For time his out of school hours
were spent in assisting his father in the store
but the refnements of snbtle disposition soon
gained the mastery over his good resolutions,
and it was not long before valuable articles were
missed from the store, and the thefts became so
numerous and costly that he was forbidden to
enter the store in absence of his father. 1t is
supposed that he intended to enter his fathers
store by entering the boiler room and making his
way up stairs, when he was captured, as stated,
He will probably be sent back to the Reform
farm.
Monday afternoon Sheriff Jones, while at
tempting to lift heavy gate into position at
his place in Palmyra, strained himself so se-
Verely that for several hours he could scarcely
stand on his feet. 1t was feared that some
serious internal injury had resulted, tut it is
now thought by using care he will escape such
consequences.

The Two Sisters" is an important revolution
in dramatic workmanship. 1t is play for ev-
erybody. A more powerful and at the same time
more entertaining sermon was never preached
from any pulpit. 1t is an American play. 1t is
a play that touches the heart. A certain critic
in one of ihe large cities calls it small slice cut
of the real world" The characters and scenes
introduced are true pictures of New York life,
vividly told. All the characters in the play are
introduced they were met by the sisters in
their respective walks in life. The piece is eff

The New ExtraditiOn Treaty Gives Very
General Satisfaction = How 1T Differs
From the Weldon Bill.
OTTAWA, Ont, Feb. 21.-The con-
sensus of opinion about the lobbies of
Parliament here is that the new ex-
tradition treaty as ratified by the United
States Senate is all that could be de-
sired. The omission of political of.
fenses aE extraditable has, however,
caused some comment, apd is regarded
as backdown on the part of the Brit
ish Government Weldon, whose ex-
tradition bill passed the Dominion Par
lament last session, says tnat he is at
a lossto understand why the crime of
obtaining money under false pretenss
was stricken out, as he regarded
it as one of the most impor-
tant. He was informed by
Sir John Thomas yesterday
that the British Government had re-
ported that it was not their intention
Of disallowing his bill He further
states that it can be made retroactive,
and under its provisions, after proc
lamation, scores of United States bood-
lers who are now finding refuge in
Canada could be handed over, whereas
their cases could not be reached by the
new extradition treaty. His bill pro-
vides for the extradition of criminals
for obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. With the Weldon bill and tho
new treaty in force, Canada should soon
be rid of fugitive criminals from foreign
ntries who have soughtan asylum ON
her shores.
