avenue.
Mr.. Habberton was in this city. but all the
other members of the family-seven Of them
besides servants-were at home. The house
was entered. it is supposed. about A. NJ, but
no one heard the burglar. He got in at the

In the dining room he found n couple OF
dozen of silver spoons. which he took. From
tons son. and there no secured a gold watch,

THE BAGGAGE SMASHEE.
Three Cheerful Little Stories Recalled by a
Middlc-nged Citizen.

Il look In vain in the literature OF the day"
said middle-aEed man. for stories OF the
baggage smasber. such as were current thirty
or forty years ago which used to interest
me very much. Who that Is old enough can
not recall the story OF the baggage master and

Another story told OF the fluctuations OF a
traveller whose trunks had been smashed and
how finally he filed big trunk with dynamite
with fine scorn, and he pui led the trunk down
from the top OF high pile and let 1t fall on

He never returned.
Then there Vas the story aboat the anger;

This trunk came to the station on the summit
Of a great load OF trunks. and the baggage
master seized by the handle. braced one foot
against the load. and pulled the trunk of and
let II fall upon one corner and
1T never came back.
And the owner sued and recovered for the
loss Of his trunk.
1T might not be casy In paragraph con-
clusively to assign reasons for the decline OF
the trunk story. Certainly the baggage master
Is as powerful as ever and surely he cannot
have lost in the comparatively brief period Of
fh umor that once prompted him plsyfsily to
drop trunk and break It wide open. 1t seems
more probable that he has shared with the
anement Of methods which has. mark ed our
progress In recent years. that he Is not less
humorous. but only less boisterous. tnan he
was: and 1t may be- too. that the fact that
trunks generally are made stronger than they
were has had something to do with it."

| just before the new ordinance was
adopted, representative OF the circus,
which caused the eyes of the small boy
to bulge forth with Joy yesterday, ap-
peared before the council and emphatic
| ally avowed that his show did not seat
more than 1000 persons; in fact, 1900
were all that could comfortably be
crowded under the tents.
Upon this representation six council
men voted for reduction of the license,
the other three members opposing it.
The great rush of people to the circus
yesterday caused the city clerk and the
deputy tax collector to institute a rigid
investigation as to the seating capacity.
Accordingly tape line was secured,
and the two vigilant officials went to the
object Of their prey. Here they encoun-
tered a fellow who at first gently but
firmly requested the visitors to "slide
their frsmes."
Not being used to such kind treat
ment after having gone through the
ordeal as a city official, the pair em-
phatically refused to comply with the
request.
They took measurements of the seat
ing capacity, allowing Is inches to each
person. This figured up exactly 2713
ciicus spectators. But in the course of
u few hours, after two inspectors had
counted the vast mblsge as they
passed in. there was found to be nearly
5000 people who passed beneath the
canvs.

One of the children is in home for

the state, and this is where the careworn

omitted one detail and that was in fail
ing to send with the cuts the names of

purposes to which they are to be put.
This, however, is bagatelle. The

was consulted and at once solved the
difficulty by writing under the pictures
