A COUNCILMAN ROBBED.


The Kesidence OF DIR. Campbell Entered
by ThisVes.
A rather mysterious burglary is re-
ported from Boyle Heights. At an early
hour Saturday morning the residence Of
Councilman G. w. Campbell. on East
First street, near Cummings. was en-
tered by burglar and valuable gold
watch and soms gold rings with fine
settings were abstracted from jewel
case. The jewery was the property of
Mrs. Campbell. and there were q-ite
number of valuable jewels and trinkets
III the case from which the stolen jew
elry was taken, that were undisturbed.
1t is supposed that the thief gained
entrance through rear door or window,
although there were no marks to show
where he gained ingress.
The affair was reported to the police
and the "force" is making an investiga-
tion. There are strong grounds for be-
lieving that several burglars are operat-
ing on the Heights, as attempts had
been made to enter several other houses
in that section.

saLk,NG THE UMBRELLA THIEF.
A " ashington Man Has Invented an Auto
matically Returna ble Rain Shield.

A W ashinGton Man Has Invented an Auto
matically Returnable Rain Shield.
Another long-felt want is about to
be filed. Drawings for the invention
were received at the patent Office only
few days ago. and the man, who, by
the way, is a Washingtonian. is prepar-
ing to build HIM new house in the
most fashionable part of the city with
the prospective funds from this inven-
ton. 1t is nothing less than an auto
matically returnable umbrella. That
is. one that will make its own arrange
ments for its return to its owner when
lost. The nomadic habit of umbrellas,
especially when left unclaimed in the
neighborhood of crowd, has long
been a subject of comment. and it has
been serious question whether the
trouble We're altogether with the NOR
ais of the umbrella. that would go off
and lose itself. or an innate depravity
of the umbrella using public that made
findings l1eepings without much in
quiry as to the identity of the loser.
The new, non-losable umbrella does
not differ essentially from the ordinary
article, says the Washington Post, ex-
cept that it has little stouter handle.
Herein is concealed the working part
of the device. 1t is a compactly ar
ranged phonograph. with a multiply
ing reverberator, enabling it to be
heard for, say, the length of a street
car or in good-sized hallway III con-
ncction with the phonograph is COM
bina ton lock which sets the machine
for action. The owner of the umbrella
on setting it down simply switches in
the combination and as soon as it is
picked up the phonograph gets in it's
work. The remarks can be arranged
according to the taste in oratory of the
man who owns the umbrella and can
range from a politely couched request
not to disturb the rain protector to a
stentorian cry of stop, thief" or
''This fellow is stealing another mans
umbrella" or any other exclamation
of a more forcible nature. the strength
of the language being only limited by
the local municipal ordinances regard
ing profanity
