BURGLARS AT WORK.
Grand and Church Street Residences Are
 Entered

Grand and Church Street Residences Are
 Within the past few days residences in the vicinity of Grand and Church streets have been visited by burglars. The robbers did not secure a large amount of booty, yet enough was taken to show that if more were there, they would have carried it off.
 On Tuesday night the houses of E. T. Root. on Grand street, and F. B. Rice, on Church street, were entered. MT Root was awakened by a noise and arose to see what was the trouble. He found some clothes in the hall. It is probable that his awaking scared the robbers away, as nothing was missing.
 At MT Rice's the robbers rifled the pockets of the latter's son, taking $2 70 in change and a iackknife. They also visited Mir Rice's desk Tn an adjoining room and secured a pocketbook contain ing S20. It is probable that the bur glaries were the work of some boys. The fact that they took the jackknife at Mir Rices leads to that belief. The mat ter was this afternoon placed in the hands of the police.

THE SUPREME RECEIVERS BLUE
Letters Received By Branches of the Iron Hall

Iron Hall.
 Letters have been received by officers of various branches of the order of the Iron Hall in thIs state from James F. Failey of Indianapolis, receiver of the supreme sitting of the order, in which he demands all moneys in the hands of tL n branches. He threatens if the money is not turned over to him to bring suit. and one of the penalties pro- vided in the event of the failure to com ply with the demands is that the branch will forfeit all it's rights to the final dividend. In the letter Receiver Failey gives the names of his counsel and ap- pears to mean business. Some weeks ago Hon Edwin L. Scofield of Stam- ford was appointed receiver of the order in this state, and officially notified the various branches of his appointment
 He is authorized to receive moneys in the hands of each and to wind up their affairs. Branches which disregard the action taken by the Connecticut court are liable to be held in contempt. One or two of the branches have turned over their funds to Failey. The rest of them are under the impression that they have sent enough out to Indianapolis already, and look upon Failey's letter as bluff. Henry 0. Robinson of Hartford is counsel for the supreme" people.

There used to be-and may be yet on the Las Cruces division of the Santa Fe railway an engineer known as Big Jack Long" One night Jack was alone at his engine, oiling up the machine, while the rest of his crew, like the pas sengers, were at supper in the dingy eating house. The train was a long one, and the engine was well away from the little cluster of buildings. Suddenly Throw up your handsr' was growled at him, and Jack found himself looking into a gun in the hands of hard look. ing citizen.
 The fellow demanded money, an0 Jack began to argue, protesting that he had but a dollar in his pockets, and that to take that were cruelty, since It was meant to pay for his supper Yes, the marauder was determined to have tho sack, even il it had but a single dollar During the discussion Jack slipped his hand from bulb to nozzle oS the lcng machinist's oiler and edged around the head of the locomotive, finally backing across the track, closely followed by the temporizing holder up.
 When the man was SO well into ths glare of the headlight as to guide Jack s address, this worthy promptly laid over his head with the heavy Oiler for Q bludgeou and when the victims yells had drawn forth the suppiug contin- gent, Jack had beaten his assailant al most senseless and stood, weapon in hand, looking down at him and saying grimly. Well! guess I've get you SO we'll oiled up that you won't run hot again for one while"-San Francisco Arronaut

AmerIean rle vIndlcated.

The American pie has triumphed. There was time when pie was in dis grace. 1t was considered an inSigesti- rls and inexcusable culinary concoctioh In England, where 1t was almost tanta- mount to misprision Of treason to sug- gest that plum pudding is too rich to be healthful, pie-except perhaps mince pie, which is as rich and dubious as plum pudding-was tabooed. But, like the oppressed of all nations, it found shelter in America There were New England housewives who made pies which were delicious and comforting to the inner man, and the pumpkin pie be came associated with the festival of Thanksgiving in manner altogether honorable to those who were responsible for lnakiug and uttering" it. r
 Then arose the great American philos, opher, Emerson, the most essentially classic type of man who has hourished in this western world, and Emerson ate pie three times a day. Dr. Johnson used to say that the man who drinks beer thinks beer, Ralph Waldo Emerson ate pie and thought philosophy The American pie was yindicat5d. -Milwau- kee Wis---'sin.

An ingenious dentist has been making some interesting experiments with ami mals which have been nearly killed by electric shocks
 On Wednesday he was standing on the street and saw a sparrow in small pool of water left by tho street sprinkler. The bird soon went up and flew to a wire overhead The shock at crre sent him to the ground whers h5 lay until the dentist picked him up, barely able to move his wings. The gentleman breathed into the sparrow's mouth and let him go. As the shock was not very bad one the bird was soon able Co fly, but he again returned to q dangerous locality, and the result was another shock much worse than the first. When the bird fell to the ground he was ap- parently lifeless. but the dentist tool; him to the office and began an experi- ment.
 He at first resUrted ta artificial ,rspira. ton as before, and then injected inthe birds flesh aromatic spirits of ammonia and poured a few drops diluted with water down the sparrow's throat. He then put him in a dry closet and gave him some clear water after a few min utes. When placed in the closet the birds body was nearly roldl but the treatment proved so effective that in less than an hour he was able to fy as well as ever aud was liberated. Eastern Argus.

"oId HilI," That's All.

A familiar figure to all who have busI- ness about Park row is "Old Bill, the spectacle vendor Day after day for tho past twenty yesrs or more this uniqnc figure has arrived in Front of No. 3l at an early hour in the m9ming and un- folded little campstooi sort of contri- vance, on which he places a small tray containing few of the cheaper variety of eyeglasses. After this he lights his pipe and awaits the occasional customer
 In winter Bills tall, spare figure Is hidden iH a heavy overcoat bnttoned to the chin, his thin face peeping out from huge cap with large sides that fold down over his ears. When the first days of summer approach the heavy trap pings are cast aside and the purveyor of "eye windows" appears resplendent in straw hat, light trousers and clean linen dustet. vr
 All inquiries as to the surname Of this odd figure fail to elicit anything satis- factory, and his cognomen of "Old Bill'' is all that can be gathered. Of course he is reported to be wealthy--all such unique characters always are.-New York Commercial Advertiser,
