Takes Brains to Plan and Execute Them
Very few people have an idea OF
he immense amount Of labor, fore.
thought and scientific skill brought
o bear on big burglary. The first
ching necessary is to find house con-
saining sufficient valuables to repay
he trouble and risk. and this first
tep alone may take many weeks.
Let it be undr TODD that only the
highest class Of expert burglars are
aeant; men with comfortable bank
ng accounts and houses Of their own,
md who after reducing risk to
minimum by elaborate plans, acquire
nough m one night to keep them IN
afnuence and eminent respectabillty
j or more than year, although hay-
ne but a third share, as these burg
.aries invariably worked 5y three.
To Illustrate the wonderful re-
source and Ieisurely way Of proceed
Ing adopted by burglars, take a case
related by a prominent detective.
The principal of the burglars in this
instance, having fixed on a certain
house, was unable to acquire suf-
6cient information concerning it and
the owners This man then went to
the local butcher supplying the house,
and applied for situation as driver
Of one of his carts which delivered
meat at customers residences After
producing unQuesttonaole references
Chow obtaiped no one ever knew the
man was engaged on the round, which
included the house fixed upon.
Incredible as it may appear, he
stayed with his employer for over
seven months, and gave the utmost
satisfaction; his only failing being a
weakness for chatting with the serv-
ants.
! Five days after his resignation a
gigantic burglary was effected at the
house selected, and property valued
at over 5000 was stolen. The
thieves had smoked several cigars
and drunk a bottle Of port, so
that they were in no hurry, and to
crown all the booty was conveyed to
its destination in the owners pony
phaton, which was duly returned the
same night, but no real clew was az
forded, and the burglars were never
captured.
: On another occasion chamber
maid was escorted out, with a view
to matrimony (and burglary for two
months before the event came of. A
conveyance is always at .haad. and
generally Of stylish appearance; in
fact. OH one occasion brougham was
used, which the passersby and even
the policemen on the beat imagined
was the property OF one of the resi-
dents close BY.
AS regards tools, very few are neces-
sarY. owing to the skill and ingenuity
Of the operator. With a Jimmy
sprcader, drill, few pieces Of strong
bent wire and little gunpowder, the
expert burglar can make his way
anywhere. TIC these are sometimes
added a set Of 'stumblerS These
are lengths Of fine steel wire, with
pointed stakes about foot long at
tached to each end, and half dozen
Of these make but little bulk. These
stumblers are fixed on the lawn or
paths about the house in such way
. that the wires are raised about six
inches from the ground, and prove
such success in case Of pursuit that
the burglars are compelled to hang
pieces of white paper from the wires
in order that they may escape their
own traps, as they always run over

TERMINATING u1FFlcULT SEEDS.

Some of your readers, says X. ".
Lawson IN The OlalfoaCer may pr5ft
by my experience in raising plants from
seed, which are usually difficult to sue
ceed with.
First, am always careful to see that
the boxes are filled with light rich Soil,
which has not been used before.

Amarvllis, Peas and Cypress, find a

But it Was with finer seeds I meant

sent last spring for the same varieties

them at thu same place. Hers, she
writes, we're almost failure while

I think the secret lies in this: when I
plant Poppy seeds 1 first spray the
ground with boiling water, wait until
it dries again, pla' my sne's and then
spray with hct, bus Lot boiling, water
and cover with papers for TWO nights.
The seeds seem to germlnate easier
and more quickly so.
Chrysanthemums have been so often
described to me as hard to raise from
seed, that this year l trie J d packet Of

months my plants have reached sixteen

ANoTHER SUN ARTICLE.

We print this morning another contribu-
ton of the Virginia Sun to The Times
Sun discussion. There Is really nothing
I'm this worth replying TO. We would
AXE ourselves as absurd as a Populist TO
make a serious defence of Mr.. Cleveland
against the charge that he has entered
into an alliance with Wall street to en-
slave the rest Of the country and bind it
hand and foot to the throne Of Pluto. All
we have to say is that a man who is fool
enough to let such a charge determine him
to vote for Cooke to be Governor Of Virgil
MIA rather than TO vote for the nominee
of the Democratic party, is too big a fool
for anything like argument TO have any
weight with him, and we drop the whole
matter with that
We know nothing OF the Suns charge
that between 1898 and 1892 Mr.. Cleveland
''amassed a fortune Of over three quarters
or million OF dollars clearing 100000 a
year" We hope for Mr.. Cleveland's sake
that this is true. We know no American
citizen whose personal worth better en-
titles him TO a snug and comfortable sup
port than Grover Cleveland. But where
did the Sun get the information on which
Il makes its statement? We undertake
to say that it knows no more about the
matter than The Times knows. We dare
the Sun to state in Its next article in The
Times the authority on which II makes ifs
statement.

BAR. Errn, hEsOLuTloN.

Mr.. Epps' resolution to have all the
officers of the city elected by the people
Is not commended to sensible and conserv-
alive men, by the fact that it is taken Up
by and made pet measure Of the politi-
cal clubs. The Times has repeatedly de-
clared that Il thinks all the city officers
who can properly be elected by popular
vote should be so selected. We think that
in addition TO those elected now, the
Police Justice and the City Attorney and
possibly others should be so elected. But
II the Chiefs of the Police. Fire, Water
and Engineering departments were elected
by the people in general election
this result would be sure TO follow.
There are large rumber Of em-
ployes in each department The
chiefs Of each would certainly bargain
with their men that If the men would
work to secure the reelection OF the chiefs,
the chiefs would do what they could 10
retain the men in their places. The thing
would extend. too. into a vast ramihca-
ton. The police department would make
common cause with each OF the other
departments. and so on. The city IN this
way would be covered over with political
emissaries of the departments seeking 10
secure the reelection OF their chiefs and
this would fasten on the city perpetual,
seif-eiecting body OF officers that could
never be got rid Of.
A word now on the point at which the
political clubs enter. Gentlemen do hot
make themselves active in political clubs
for the mere fun of the thing. When
Leander swan the Hellespont ii was not
altogether for the pleasure OF swimming
and you will probably md a gentleman
entirely willing to render the public ser
vices IN consideration Of public pay.
Since the election Of the heads of these
departments will make immense activity
In politics and make many places to be
striven for, It is entirely natural that a
political club should desire that they shall
be chosen In popular elections. The new
water gas plant has enabled the Superin-
tendent Of the Gas Works to dispense
with a number OF hands and has thereby
caused great saving 20 the city, but that
fact would 80 a long way towards beat
ing the present efficient superintendent in
popular election. The political clubs
want the chief OF the gas department
elected in popular elections because they
will see that chief is elected who will
discharge no more hands. but viii restore
those who are discharged Is II most for
the advantage OF the city that it shall
make this great saving in the cost of ras.
or that II shan have twenty more places
for persons TO live In at public expenseY
We repeat that the Epps resolution has
not added much to the esteem IN which Il
is held by conservative men through get
ting the appreciation Of the political clubs.
