STEUBENvILLE, November 16.-The
farmers in Springfield township, resid-
ing between East Springfield and Am
sterdam are much excited over recent
burglaries, eight of them having been
committed in the last seven days. In
each case chloroform was used to rem
der the inmates insensible while the
robberies were being committed. Con-
siderable money, jeweIry and other
articles of value have been taken. The
last robbery occurred last night. when
Mr.. Copeland, who is treasurer OF his
church, was robbed of one hundred dol
lars, which had been subscribed by the
memb ers Of the church for a specific
purpose and placed in his hands, On
retiring at night he placed the money
under his pillow, but this morning dis
covered that during the night he and
his wife had been chloroformed and the
money taken. The farmers believe
that some person familiar with their
homes is committing the rObberies.

termed "McFee OF Dublin" 'merry

accurately describe the many laughaole
absurdities which were passed in review
before a delighted audience last even

kept up late, and laughter was the
order of the evening. There is a plot
In "McFee," and in following it out
there is a quick succession OF absurd

o'clock until after ten.

Monday:
"Gorton's old time Ministries, the

good show from start to finish, sustain

that he always gives thoroughly first

when so many suffer untold agonies from
indigestion. Of sourse he would have
gone on TO say that a man az must be fool
not to take Something" which would

Esther.

Oae of the most thrilling stories
in the Bib'e-aud it contains more
thrilling stories than any other
book ever written--is that of the
Vaccinations OF the wicked Haa-
man to compass the destruction OF
the Hebrew people, and his over
throw by brainy, beautiful and
good woman-Esther. La mems
ory OF her service to them the Jew
ish people established the feast of
Purim, Puriln brings to the jew
ish mind "the days wherein the
Jews rested from their enemies
and the month which was turned
unto them from sorrow to JOY and
from mourning unto good day,
because Haaman. the enemy Of the
Jews, had devised against the Jews
to destroy them and had cast, Pur,
that is lot, to consume them"
The feast Of Purim wasearly in
March. But the day before the be-
ginning Of the Jewish New Year
there was born to the wife Pres
ident Cleveland a daughter. And
they called her name Esther,
The parents were probably not ins
Auenced in the selection of a name
for the child by the fact of its birth
near the time of a Jewish holiday
But the coincidence of the holiday
and the advent Of a new Esther
into the world must be pleasing te
the Jewish people.

claims to being leaders of"fashion,
but it is sincerely to be hoped tina
their example i'll giving their chill
