STRANGE ACT OF A BURGLAR.

Offers to Return Jewels Stolen to Keep
His Family from starving.
CHICAGO, April 26.-On the morning of
April @. a gentleman residing on one Of the
streets leading to Lincoln park awoke to dis
cover that some one had entered his sleeping
apartment during the night and had taken
from vest carefully folded and slowed
away under the pillow valuable gold
watch and $50 in money. and also the watch
and the jewelry case OF bis wife, which had
been left on the dressing case. A valuable
set of sapphire jewelry, which was tucked
under the corner OF pin-cushiou, had been
overlooked. An examination Of tho prem
ises disclosed tracks in the snow leading
from the cellar window, and near the latter
the gentleman's watch and chain were also
found.
The police were notified of the burglary,
but failed to discover any trace OF the
stolen property or the thief. Yesterday
the gentleman on returning to his DOWN
town office after short absence found a
sealed envelope addressed to himself, that
had been slipped under the door. The en-
velope contained a note written with PEN
Gil on the back of a circular, and signed,
"a Thief.n It informed him that it was
impossible to raise any money on his wife's
watch becuse her name was engraved on it,
and that the contents of the Jewelry box
were not what was expected
The thief promised to repay the $50, as
he had obtained a very good position. The
writer then added that he was not a burg
lar, but entered the house the day before,
remaining in hiding behind the piano; that
he had stolen the articles TO enable him to
buy food for his children. He said he
would return the jswelry, leaving it where
the owner could get it.

BERLIN, April 2G.-Emperor William, In
his order instruc,ing the army TO go into
mourning for the late Gen. Won Moltke,
says: "a friend and counsellor has been
removed. Imost deeply mourn this irrep
arabic loss TO myself, to the army and 10
the Fatherland. To his last hour the de-

reason or his military achievements and
services for the welfare Of the Fatherland,

The body Of the late Count Won MoltKe
was viewed by tho public to-day from noon
until O'Clock in the afternoon. The bier,
which is placed in the ballroom of the staff
building, is draped with white silk em-
broidered with silver, aud a coverleb de-
signed by the deceased for the purpose COW
ers the body as far as the breast. The en-
peror has ordered the army to 60 into
mourning for eight days.
PARIS PAPERS BITTER.
PARIS, April 28.-The newspaper COM
ments on the late Gen. Won Moltke are gem
orally uGsympathetic and often marked
with a chauviuist spirit that is repulsive to
everybody but the Frenchmen.
Thus the Steele says: "Gaul salutes with
out vain anger this bar ariRn chief, the last
OF 30 many invaders, with whom the whole
age expires
La RepubliQile FrancGise says; "This
master of the art of war dishonored his
most brilliant victories by cruelties and
horrors which had been calmly calculated
beforehand, and which were revolving to
the most unteeling mind.n
The RdppeL says: AVON Moltke made the
sorrowful gift of militarism to Europe. His
country, ruined by taxation, will soon learn
TO curse his memory
The GdulOis prints an interview with
Gen. Canrobert, In which the field marshal
IL represented as saying: "Germany for q
long time 10 come will be unable to find a
man capable Of eclipsing Won Moltke, al
though his pupils and successors may con-
tinue his line of work. It is we, now, who
have the great strategist. mean Gen.
Mirabel, our chief Of staH. y
SOME PAPERS JUST
A majority OF the Paris papers arc not
bitter in their references to the death of
Count Won Moltke. The Journal de,
Debats says France hOnors herself In paying
tribute to the rare talents, patience, force
OF character, perseverance and modesty OF
her worst foe.
Tho Vienna papers are not forgetful OF
the defeat Of '66, but do full justice to the
morals and modesty Of tho dead soldier.

ELKINs AND TBE SEA S.

Steve Trying to Get Just One More
Crack at the Rookeries.
WASHINGTON, April 26.-Hon. S. B.
Elkius, who was the Blaine manager at the
convention of 1883, and ultimately nomi-
mated Mr.. Harrison, who had been his
lawyer in western railway litigation, has
used his personal influence with the admins
istration TO stop the negotiations over the
Beriug sea seals, which was
about to terminate successfully. The
British government, through the British
minister. had verbally offered to join our
government to stop all seal killing for this
year, and, upon investigation this summer
by a commission representing both govern
ments, the enormous depletion of the fur
seals reported by all the recent investiga-
tions having been established, to cooperate
with this government to stop all seal
killing for term Of years, perhaps seven
years. Hearing of this Mr. Ekins, who
mad been In a company which bid unsuc-
cessfully for the seal contract but after ward
had been taken into the successful company,
came her ard persuaded Secretary Baine
TO postpone an agreement with Great
Britain until fall, on the ground that be
wanted TO await the Sayward decision,
meanwhile permitting his company to
get whatever seals it could
scrape No this summer. He could
not nope 70 get the 10000 allowed by his
contract. but hoped TO get 5000 good skins
and so, 900 poor skins, which would clean
out the rookeries for fifteen yenrs TO come.
Before Mr.. Elkins got his official
order from the treasury dspartm
the British minister, hearing Of the
arrangement, hastened to put his verbal
proposition in writing, 80 that it could not
be ignored. Mr.. Elkins vas told he could
wait little, as the salvation of the seals
has been the main object Of our contention
and the close term our preferred means.
II will be difficult for even Mr.. Elkns to
get official authority for his raid, in view
of the British minister's action.

WHEELING, w. Va, April ga Logan
county paper says that the lovely stories of
marriage and peace between the Hatfelds

that those in that vicinity look on the whole

on Island creek, near Logan Court House,
and the McCoys have been living near Pike
vile, and there has been no trouble between
them.
Some years ago there had been trouble
and several were killed on both sides. Do
tectives tried to keep the excitement up for
a time. More than nins-tenths OF the blood

The Escape OF Crawford Vassar-
Cadets Coming TO Savannah.
MILLEDGEvILLE, April 26.-The escape
Of Crawford Vassar from the county jail
on last Tuesday night, an account of which
was sent the MORNING NEWS. has been the
topic Of considerable comment during the
week, and the general current Of opinion
seems TO detect an offensive odor in the
vicinity of Denmark. The case was mys-
teriOus from the beginning, aud is equally
30 to-day. No one has ventured to attach
the burden Of blame to any speNihl official,
but how such an escape wEs effected,
| through two doors of different locks, and
they left so nicely fasteneds is the question
one that will absorb tho attention OF the
next grand jury. Vassar was probably the
! most unloveable character that adorned
the streets OF Milledgevile. Convicted of
| crimes that run all the way from bigamy
| and theft to the proprietorship Of "a "blind
| tiger the people had grown tired Of his
| bold and daring record, and now demand
an investigation as to how he escaped.
The college cadets will leave the city next
Thursday and will drill in Savannah on
Friday. They will carry twenty-four men
under command of Maj. Lucas. They will
be accompanied by their four charming
sponsors and by Maj. Lynes and several Of
the most prominent citizens. They have been
drilling regularly for the last two or three
weeks, and the people who sec their drill
next week will witness as pretty an exhibi-
tion of drilling as has been seen in this part
of the country
