He said that he attempted to kiss pretty

her slender waist and was about to kiss
her she said if he dared she would scream.
Not wishing to have scene, which such
an action would cause, he withdrew his
arm and resumed his seat at the other end

eral articles in the warning acted upon in
a business-like manner and with the best
of feeling.
The meeting adjourned at 1890.

hardly we'll filled. The general opinion is
that the different lines will soon perceive
the wisdom of re-establishing the band con-
certs, as the depreciation in their receipts
must be greater than the amount Of their
subscriptions.
The score of people scattered on the
benches surrounding the band-stand only
served as contrast to the former crowds,
the conservatory and the Casino were prac-
tically deserted, and even at the children's
playground the small number of people was
noticeable.
Equipages bowled along to the Cliff in the
usual unbroken line, but they comprised
the buggy of the young man and his best
girl, or the dog-cart of the sport and man
about town. The barouche and landau,
with their liveried coachmen, which filed
the square at the band-stand and gave a
flavor of upper-tendom to the place on for
mer occasions, were yesterday conspicuous
by their absence. There were very few
equestrians in the park. and the pretty girl,
with the blue dress and divided skirts,
guiding her swift but nOseiesS bicycle, could
not be discovered.
On Friday the larger of the two antelopes
was gathered to his fathers, and the appear
ance OF the survivor is very significant of
his approaching dissolution. On his flank
llama some months ago, and he is terribly
emaciated and hardly able to stand. When
the buffalo were removed from the pen the
antelopes, becoming frightened. leaped over
the pailings and fell, causing internal in
juries, from which one died and the other is
now dying.
The buffalo inclosure is always spot of

CHICAGO BURGLARS.

They Chloroform Mr.. and Mrs. Adams,
and Loot the House.
Burglars ehloroformed William Adams
and wife, of $50 Fairfield avenue, on Friday
night, and then ransaeked the house. They
took S120 in currency. two gold watches. a
sealSkin sacque, two suits Of clothes, finger
rings and other articles of jewelry. Mr..
Adams places his loss al $3.50. This Is the
boldest piece Of work reported TO the police
for long time, says the Chicago Herald.
On Friday night about 10 o'clock he and his
wife retired. He did not awaken until
o'clock yesterday morning. Ee was stupid
from the effects of some drug. FrOth was
issuing from his mouth, aud he had q
severe headache. He tried to arouse his
wife and had great difficulty in doing so.
The kitchen door was wide open ana cold
air was flowing into their bedroom. Mr..
Adams looked around the room in daZed
way. Everything was upside down. The
bureau drawers had been pulled out and
their contents emptied on the floor. His
trousers, which he had placed on a chair
near the bed when he retired, were missing.
1t began to dawn on him that burglars had
robbed the house.
"My wedding ring is gone!' exclaimed
Mrs. Adams, looking at the finger upon
which she had worn the band of gold for
several years.
And my watch is gone," spoke the hus-
band second later as he ran his hand un-
der his pillow, where he kept his timepiece.
MIR. and Mrs. Adams then made an inven-
tory of their losses. The thieves took every
thing of value which they could carry away
with them. They even ripped up carpets in
their hunt for money. The burglars got
into the house through rear window. They
chloroformed Mr.. and Mrs Adams and then
took their leisure in rausacking the house.
When they left they went out through the
kitchen door and left it wide open. This
fact, probably, saved the lives. of Mr.. and
Mrs. Adams, as the cold air rushing in on
them aroused the husband from his stupor.
Mr. Adams experienced no i'll effects from

quantity OF the anasthetic is evident from
