cock, which has so often been the
scene of pleasant reunions in the
past, was on Tuesday evening again
en- fete, the occasion being the we'd

A burglary was committed in the
store of j. G.. Serrao, on Bridge
street, between Saturday night and
Sunday morning, $500 in silver
being taken from the safe. The cir
cumstances attaching to it are, to say
the least, peculiar. Whoever the
burglar may be, he must have the in
side track of the business, for the
store door was opened with key,
the combination of the safe was
known and opened, and only the sill
yer taken. There was a number of
drafts and other valuable property
at hand, but nothing else
was disturbed. The safe was locked,
and probably to give information
that some bad man had been about
window was raised and left open.

parently been made, but the loser by
the transaction is broad in hints. The
facts connected with it will likely
develop soon.
The grippe is raging in town, and
has great number of victims among
the white population. The burden
of caring for the town falls on the
shoulders of DIR. Frances Wetmore,
who is the only physician able to be
around at present. DIR. Williams is
very slow Of recovery, being confined
to his house still and little improve
ment being shown in his condition.
We are much pleased to be able to
report that our talented young artist,
Mr.. d. Howard Hitchcock, who has
been studying for the past few years
in Paris under some of the best
teachers, has been successful in hav-
ing his efforts rewarded. He has for
some time been working on a paint
ing for the Salon, which has been
accepted and hung. The subject is
"a Byway in September" and, from
all accounts, it IS a very fine study.
Only 1900 were accepted out OF over
1000 pictures offered. 1t is expected
that Mr. Hitchcock will return to the
Islands during the latter part of the
year.
Miss Deyo and Miss Lyman leave
today by steamer for the Worlds
Fair and the Eastern States.
