THE ROBBERY At TAssAR.
No Doubt that tho Articles Were Stolen By
Some One In the Building.

some One In the Building.
PouGHKEEps1E, Feb. 24-The students OF
Nassar College would give good deal to know
who committed the robbery on Sunday even
ing. Not that the stolen articles amount to
very much. for all in all they were not worth
more than $40 or So. but the incident casts O
certain reflection on the college which. with
true college spirit. they all resent.
There is no doubt that the souvenir spoons
tho lace pins. and the watch set in q leather
bracelet were stolen from the students rooms
by some one in the building. There are 400
students and eighty servants in tho college
building not to speak Of tho professors aud
instructors. and none Of them like to suspect
any Of the rest.
There was a servant once who stole So note
from a students room. and he was discharged
within n minute after the thoft had been
fastened upon him. That. however WINS years
ago. and nothing OF the kind had ever been re-
pented until last Sunday.
THE Sun told yesterday how the college
grounds were examined and no footprints
found within twenty feet Of tho window
The officers Of the college suspect that some
dishonest servant took the articles. A burglar
would have searched the rooms more carefully
and found more. welry. As for the students.
not the slightest suspicion rests on any one OF
wanted to tako anything. she would never
dream OF taking souvenir spoons or articles
that could BIO easily identified. Again. the
students have access to places where they
could take money and jcwelry without ths
slightest fear OF detection.
