THIEVES WORK.
They Rummaged Several Places and
Secured Some Booty.

Thieves made busy night OF 1t Monday
in the vicinity OF 436 Washington street
as no less than three different places OF
business were entered. As near as can be
learned the first entrance was effected In
the shop of Philip L.Voelker who occupies
the second floor, No. 436 Washington
street. In the rear of this building are q
number of low buildings that range from
seven to 15 feet in height, and IT is here
that the work began, as they entered by
the rear door which led to q
shed used by Mr.. Voelker for
drying his goods. The lock was
broken, which was about all the loss that
he sustained. Finding nothing worth
taking the thieves went up one fight OF
stairs, and broke open John +.
Lassen's door. The money drawer
was broken and IS in bills,
some small change and q gold watch
and chain was taken. The next place to
be visited by the burglars was ths estab-
lishment of Voiney Mason on Lafayette
street and about one dollars worth ol
| postage stamps was added to the booty
| The police are looking for the thieves but
up to the present time no trace OF then
has been discovered.

Yesterdays Races.
The racing at the State Fair yesterday
afternoon was in itself an attraction worth
going to Narragansett Park to see.
The track was faster than on the previ-
Gus day although still little cuppy from
the Monday morning rains.
The feature of the racing was the record
breaking of Isaac Saunderson's roam hlly,
Lady Alley. She started IN the 2;32 class
and won the first heat in 2:l9 which
lowers by several seconds the, 2-year-old
New England bred FLY record.
The second heat she did in 2:l9h and
won that and then lost the next two
without, however, losing her reputation
for fast trotting.

Senator Blnnchard's Wife Wakes Poetical
In Describing the Cotton Fields.
Mrs. Blanchard. wife of the new sena,
tor from Louisiana, is no stranger in
Washington society. During the 10 years
of her husbands service i'll the house of
representatives most of her time has
been spent at the capital, and Washing
ton has become a second home to her.
She is very handsome woman. a little
above the medium height, with dark
hair, brown eyes, a good complexion and
a finely nodded figure, which is usually
attired in handsome and becoming cos
tune. Her manner is cheerful and cor
dial, and she is a frank and pleasant
talkcr, discussing grave political ques-
tons with an ability and discrimination
beyond the ken Of the average woman.
Like most southern women, Mrs.
Blanchard is thoroughly in love with
1.-The sunny southland" and grows elo-
quent when she talks of it. Her memory
is stored with pleasant pictures of her
southern home. and in conversation with
a northern visitor she described a sugar
plantation in language that was really
poetic2l.
"Our huge sugar plantations are beau
tiful," she said There are acres of the
cane, like fields of corn, and down the
rows will go band of negroes, cutting
it. piling it in wagons and hauling it
away to the mill, that grinds night and
