Burglars entered the residence Of Henry

shortly after dusk Sunday evening and after
completely ransacking the house made OF
with such plumber as they could comfort
ably carry. Mr.. and Mrs. Lodge were
absent from home at the time, having
gone for drive in the country, They left

When Alr. Lodge entered the house he
was surprised to find the yestibule door
open and small candle lying on the
floor, He at once discovered that burglars
had been in the house, or were probably
about the house still. Leaving his wife
seated in the carriage and securing his re.
vOlver he proceeded to the upper stories of
the residence with pistol in hand ready to
get the crop" first should burglar show
himself, but none were found. Mr., Lodge
turned on the gas in the house and discov-
cred that the culprits had apparently been
frightened off while in the act of ransack-
ing the premises, leaving many of the
articles lying on the floor and about the
bedrooms.
They succeeded in making away with
about $50 worth Of jewelry and clothes,
however. which they carried in small
alligator grip.
An entrance was effected BY prying
open shutter over the veranda. Once in
the house, the Jimmy" was freely used
in passing from room to room which the
burglars ransaCked. Mr.. Lodge thinks the
robbery was committed in the early even
| ing and tits thought strange that the cul.
prits were not noticed by neighbors in en-
| tpring the house. A neXt-uuur neigh Dor
states that she was moving about the resi-
dcnce making considerable noise later in
the evening and it may have been her that

FROM the reports OF the several COM
mittees you have doubtless gathered the
general impression that the affairs Of the
Wilmington Institute have been running
along during the year which closed the lst
OF April in pretty much the same channels
AS those of previous years and this indeed
j. the fact. An earnest attempt is being
made to put new life and value into the
library and reading room by doing away
with the stockholders and subscribers
yearly dues, but attempts III this direction
have been made before in efforts to lower
the dues. From the report OF the com.
mlttee on ways and means the financial
condition of the Institute is practically
about the same as il was last wear
From the library report it is learned
the total membership now is $50 Last
year it was b1S. The year before il was
$50, The number OF bound volumes in
the library is 10, 23l, or 60 more than last
year pamphlets, J., 40, an increase of l3l,
seasides, ~. One hundred and forty book,
which had passed their usefulness here
were given to the Ferris Industrial school
One hundred and twcnty-Onc newspapers
and periodicals are on file in the reading
room, The committee on rooms and liz.
turCs reports the total receipts FROM rental
Of stores. rooms and auditorium to be
S3,6Jl,v9. which IS very satisfactory in
crease Of nearly SldO over the receipts Of
last year. The building is in fairly good
state of rcpair. The draugLtinr srI,nni
