Several pneumatic tubes have been con-
tracted for, TO connect the division ap-
propriGted to the use Of the reported

great extent do oaway with the trouble
some messenger service.
Major Handy has received notice
from nearly every great newspaper in
the world that special representatives
will be in Chicago to attend the cere-
monies October 81. In addition many
OF the best known editors OF the coun-
try have signiied their intention Of

w. Childs, Philadelphia Ledger; General
Taylor, Boston GioJs; Richard Harding
Davis, Hdyprs Recklg; Joel Cook, Lon

from India. All newspaper men, local
or foreign, will be provided with suita-
BILE desks and comfortable seats, none
of which will be over one hundred feet

LIBERAL ARTS.
There is now every reason for believ-
ing that a building will be provided for
the accommodation OF the exhibits of
the department OF liberal arts and eth
nology. At meeting OF the finance
committee the budget was gone over
with the idea Of cutting in every possi-
BILE manner SO as to make it possible to
secure funds for the proposed building
without encroaching upon the limit OF
expenses, defined when the debenture
bonds were advertised.
"IIight is breaking" said Vice Presi-
dent Peck after the meeting. I've NIL
hope to see that building erected. We
know that ii is needed and if it is possi-
BILE the funds viii be provided. There
is limit to all things, however, and
unless some cutting of eSpensesin other
directions is done, the educators OF the
country must accept the space now al
lotted 10 them"

AN AMATEUR BURGLAR.
But Mr.. Watkins Seems to
Have Bungled All
Round.
RATHER PECULIAR ERROR.
Took the Lock Cff His Own Door
From the lnside-Grief of
His Pretty Wife.

George Watkins, young married man
of good family, was arrested yesterday
by the Hoboken police charged with
breaking. entering and larceny. Wat
kins aud mis- wife occupy nicely furnished
apartments at No. "a Hudson street.
John Buge. who owns the sa-
loon on the store floor, also rents
the apartments over the store. Miss
Anna Gruhls. sister of Mrs. Buge,
boards with the family. and her room
Years eve Miss Gruhls reported
to Captain Hayes that curing
her absence that day burglars
had broken open the door Of her room
and stolen clothing aud jewelry valued at
500. Detective Gallagher was put on the
cuse and he found that the room had been
entered as stated and bureau draws and
closets ransacked, and the best articles
selected.
Further investigation showed that
Watkins apartments had also been ap-
parently broken into, but before the de-
tective left the house he was satisfied
that no outsider had done the work. A
close examination of the door
OF Watkius' apartments showed
that the striking plate of the
lock had been unscrewed instead of
forced, and this could not have been done
by person on the outside, while the door
was locked. Gallagher then made
inquiries and found that Mrs.
" atkins had left the house
about noon, while her husband did not
go away until evening, A watch was
then placed on the house but neither
husband nor wife returned that night
nor for several days thereafter.
Wednesday afternoon Mrs. Watkins ap-
pearen at the house and the police were
no ihed. Detective Gallagher took her
to the police station. where she cried Bit
terly when tod the suspicious of the
police. She claimed to know nothing
OF the missing articles and said
hat she had been on visit to friends at
White Plains. She told such straight
forward story that the captain allowed
her to go. but watch was kept on her.
She was seen TO cross the ferry
to New YORK a few hours later.
That same night, Miss Gouhls
was overjoyed to receive all her stolen
property back. She was visited by Wat
kihs' brother. who endeavored to have
her Withdraw the complaint. She
called on Captain Hayes Yesterday morn
ing and notified him of the return
OF the missing goois, and also OF the visit
OF the brother. The Captain would not
hear OF the complaint being Withdrawn.
WHikius returned to Hoboken yes
terdRy afternoon exUeciing that
everything had been arranged satisfac-
torily, but he was SURPRISED when placed
under arrest His excuse was that he
was drunk and did not know what he
was doug. The Recorder held him in
$500 bail

tional, but says he can gain nothing for
the present by appealing to higher
court. Cronheim WILL therefore. when
produced in court, have spent four days
and nights In the County Jail. He Is
charged not only with violating the SUM-
day laws wit reference to Gheatrical per-
formauces, hut also with keeping a dis
orderly house.

his counsel. When asked now he liked
his prospect Of release, he said:-"I don't
like it ut all: but Pve got to put up with
i, / suppose" He nevertheless ap.
peared to be in good spirits.
