ATTEMPTED BURGLARY AT THE
POST-OFFICE

An attempt to rob the post-otfce was
made some time Wednesday night or early
Thursday morning. When Officer Nc
Clure Went to turn oil the gas in the rear
OF the town hall, he found the window
opening from the corridor upon the fire es-
cape untasteneL. With the Waterman
from the engine house, whom he quickly
called, he made an investigation and found
that the door TO the postmaster private
office had been forced open. Everythlngelse
seemed to he undisturbed Before going off
duty Mcclure called Major Childs to the
office and a more thorough examination
was made. Nothing was found to have
been taken. The burglar was frightened
on, hO doubt, by the sounding of the cleo
trio alarm bell. which rings as soon as the
door is opened. Signs of a hasty retreat
We're found in the rear of the hall and on
the railroad bank Major Childs and his
assistants are of the opinion that the bur
glar is one of the gang who are doing
the New England offices and have already
made record of over 100 burglaries. Off
Ger Mcclure is not so sure of this, having
his own reasons for believing that the
guilty ones are nearer home. Officer VIII
Sears of Greenfield who captured last
weeks clippers so neatly, was in town yes
terday morning and after looking into the
matter agrees with Mcclure theory.
Rockwell a Sherwin's carriage shop was
entered through a rear window Tuesday
night, but nothing was taken, so far as
discovered. Whether the two cases have
any connection is matter for conjecture,

number was followed by a song by the
school
"Civis civitasque' by c. Fred Childs was
a thoughtful and patriotic presentation of
the true relation of citizen and state in
winch the American citizen was spoken of
as one whose factions are governed solely
by an intelligent desire for the public veal
ana whose "Opinl9ns are founded upon a
thoughttul and iudicious analysis of the
problems which confront and concern the
people Public opinion should be in
luehced only through the avenues of rea-
son and OF patriotic regard for the rights
and privileges of every citizen"
Ihe subject of Florence NJ. Wellman's
essay was Goethe and self culture" IL
was a remarkably appreciatlve account of
the career OF the great German poet. In
his life and work the writer found the les
son OF self culture the complete develop
ment of the ndvidual-the making of ey-
lstence harmonious, the necessity of de-
Veloplng all the power within us-not sell
hshly, nor noisily, but quietly in unselfish-
ness, living for others i'm "the whole. the
true and the beautiful" looking ALWAYS as
Goethe, did for more lishj-more light"
The valedictorian, Walter H. Eddy.

A SUGGESTION

Editor Of The PhGHir Owing TO the
damage done by water at fires, which is
unavoidable, because no man living can
tell how much fire there is in a building
when it is full OF smoke, and the fire de-
partment, with all the surrounding prop
erty at stake, cannot take any chances, l
have a suggestion 10 offer. 1t is thar a
company of about ten men be organized
with a supply OF rubber blankets TO cover
goods, especially when the fire is in the up
per stories of buildings, this company TO
be under the control of the chief engineer.
