MuFFLED FIGURES IN THE STREETS
Told Brunswick People That limitations
Were in Progress.
Especial to the Press.l

Brunswick, October 13.-There were
many anxious hearts throbbing in the
bosoms of the Bowdoin freshmen to-
night, when the various Greek letter fra
ternities held their annual limitations.
During the entire day freshmen might
be seen walking about the broad campus
their faces pale with fright and horror OF
the approaching ceremonies. d
As the evening drew on apace, passer
by might notice two figures silently Gid.
ing about the dark streets of the quiet
college town guiding a muffled body.
This was the freshman initiate, on his
way to the place of ceremony. The FAC.
ultv recognize these limitations as a part
of the college life, and indeed many are
members of some secret fraternity OF
other themselves The limitations at
Bowdoin are conducted in every instance
within the bounds of humanity, and the
Objectionable practices which have been
brought to light in otherlcolleges are abb
sent here. There were number OF
alumni of the college present at the vari.
GUS fraternities, who witnessed the mi.
tiations, and also students from Colby.

Wood Choppers swindled.

Biddeford, October ia swindling
scheme was worked here yesterday. A
strange man engaged a crew of Bidde-
ford woodchoppers to go to Lewiston to
work for him. He collected dollar
from each, promising to pay the rest OF
their expenses. He bought tickets to
Portland, and when that city was reached
he forsook the men, taking with him
the balance of the money they had con-
tributed for fares. The crew returned
home last night.

Six Hundred Thousand Dollars.

This result achieved as it was in spite
of the heavy blow dealt the Company on
the last day of August, by the death of
its President through railroad accident,
is evidence of the spirit of determination
pervading its Agents, and is, moreover, a
practical intimation on their part of their
intention to turn to the Company's best
advantage the object lesson so painfully
afforded, and which, above all, so vivid
ly portrayed tie uncertainty of life and
the consequent imperative need for In
surance Protection.
The new business showing for Septem-
Der can be best judged by the following

A BLOW.
The Wind Blew Sixty Miles an Hour
at Point Lobos.

at Point LoboS.
From thick calm at O'Clock Yesterday
morning the instruments at Point Lobos in
dicated steady increase in the winds
velocity throughout the day. until at G:3o
in The evening a hurricane blowing sixty
miles an hour was registered.
The schooners Joseph and Henry, Bar
bara Munster, Reliance and Mary Eta and
the German steamer Romulus attempted
going to sea early last night, but were
utterly unable to contend with the force of
the gale, and were obliged TO return and
anchor in the harbor.
Immense seas broke continuously over the
vessels, washing everything from the decks
and totally preventing the sailors from
work aboveboard. 1t soon became appar-
ent that 1t was futile hszarding of human
life to attempt managing a ship in such
hurricane. aud being unable to hold their
own the vessels put about and returned to
quiet water.
Rockets were reported seen off Fort Point
at 9 o'clock. They probably were from
some ship in distress. The ife-saving crew
were on the alert throughout the night pre-
pared to render all posi- Die assistance
if it should be required, though even that
help could not avail much in the face of
such a sea.
The accompanying table, as telegraphed
from Point L0bOs and posted during the
day at the Merchants Exchange, shows the

DIAMONDS STOLEN.
Mrs. j. w. Raphael Robbed
in Broad Daylight.
Her Purse, Containing Pin-Money and
Valuable Gems, Taken by
Pickpocket.

Ladies possessing brilliant costly gems
should wear them and not carry the pretty
sparklers concealed in purses.
That's what julius w. Raphael, head OF
the big Kearny-street clothing establish
ment, thinks. And so does his unluckv wife.
Why?
Simply because Mrs. Raphael, being q
modest as we'll as handsome lady. carried
her valuable diamonds in her purse aud
while shopping was relieved OF them yester-
day afternoon.
About O'Clock Mrs. Raphael left her res
idence and started on a tour OF Kearny
street to make some purchases. When she
had selected the articles required she felt
in the outside pocket of her fur-lined coat for
her purse. A surprise was in store for her.
The purse was gone! Scarcely could she
realize that she had been robbed. Again
and again she felt for her purse but at last
she could no longer doubt that she had been
the victim of the horde of pickpockets who
iDfest Kearny ana Market streets.
Mrs. Raphael did not worry over the loss
of her pin-money. but the theft OF 500
worth of diamonds, all presents from her
husband, greatly distressed her, to say the
least.
Then she remembered that while passing
along the west side of kearny street, near
Suffer. she lad been jostled by two young
men. one of whom passed on either side of
her. 1t must h9ye been they who robbed
her.
When she recovered from her surprise
she informed her husband of the daring
daylight theft. Saturday is always n most
busy day at the big house Of Raphaeps, but
Mr.. j. W. Raphael took time enough to 90
to the old City Hall and report the robbery
to the police
NO" said Mr.. Raphael last night" I'VE
don't expect to recover the stolen diamonds.
Ever since we opened this big store crowds
have gathered on the sidewalk to view the
attractions in the show windows, and many
of the spectators have been pifered by
these daring pickpockets. Several of our
customers have complained Of being re-
Iieved of their purses and jewelry on this
street."
NJ. Raphael takes the loss rather good
naturally. IT'S good joke on my wife,"
he continued. Il recently rallied her about
her diamonds being dusty; SO she cleaned
them all nicely yesterday. and then slowed
them out OF sight before starting on her
shopping tour.
Yes" he concluded. with genial smile,

miles west and northwest over O level

territory lying west of Winnipeg, which. to
the Eastern man. seems way out of the
world. The soil of this prairie produces
the finest spring wheat grown anywhere,
and the enormous plain I've just mentioned
will in few years be the great granary of
the world. Eastern people have misty
