surplus.
Mr.. John E. Platter, president OF the

the 26th inst, when the matter would
be discussed and settled.
He refused to make any further state
ment, giving as his reason that az an
officer OF the institution he could not
give any information which might legal

A raIPLE 81 RGL lRY.
ENTER THREE STORES
IN THE BRYJON BLOCK.
A Mysterious Crims which Planned Dat
Very Welt for tho Adroit PsrPe-
trators--DetsIls of n Well
Ex. cuted Affair.

A daring and successful triple rob-
berry was committed in the Bryson
block late Thursday night. The stores
entered were Stoll & Thayer's book and
news store, 1879; Desmond's, gentle
mems outfttsr, 14l, and Joe Poheim,
the tailor, 143, all on South Spring
street. Booty to tho amount of about
$3.50 was secured. or this amount 1912
belonged to the firm OF Joe Poheim; $3.50
to Mr.. J. f. Henderson, the local man
ager $3.50 to MIR. Desmond, and about
81 to Stoll & Thayer.
The robbers evidently entered the
stores from the rear. They fret went
up into the Bryson block and out Of
window into little court in the rear of
the Spring street stores. Stoll 4 ThGy-
er's was fret entered, the money that
was secured being in one OF the counter
drawers The safe was not touched.
From there they effected an entrance
into Desmond's, where q small amount
was gotten from the money drawer.
From Desmond's they effected an en-
trance into Poheim's by forcing heavy
door with jimmy.
In Poheim's they made their great
haul. In large safe reposed tin box
inside of which was $655 in cash, be-
sides about 500 in checks. The outside
door of the safe was out of condition,
but the inside was supposed to be burg
lar proof. By some means the thieves
worked the combination and got away
with the Doodle. They had no use,
however, for the checks, and threw
them aside.
The police were notified and Chief
Glass has the entire detective force on
the case.

 Discovering a Great Mine.
 One of the most productive mines in California was discovered through an accidental fall of the discovcrcr.

 Happening to bc the last in tho line and some distance behind the others, he was not missed for some moments. but when his absence was noticed tho party turned back to look for him, fearing some untOward accident He was mo- where to be seen, but the place. where his horse had slipped and fallen over tho bank, together with tho traces of the fall, was plainly visible. Following the tracks made by the falling horse and man, and when near the bottom, the men suddenly came upon an interesting spectacle Just behind clump of bushes which the man and his steed had crashed through on their way down stood the horse, apparently uninjured. while near by, on slab of rock pro- jecting from the snow, tho man was capcring like an Indian at a ghost dance.
 The first impression of the rcscuing party was that the man had gone sud denly crazy, but as he caught sight of them he suddenly ceased his gyrations and shouted for them to approach They came, when ho showed them several Jumps of almost pure gold he had has tily knocked from the edge with a stone for n hammer and announced his dis covery of n gold mine.

Tan color and blue will bo one of the popular combinations.
 SiIk muslin dresses. worn over silk slips, are popular for little girls at childrcn's parties.
 Capes arc growing longer, and as the cool days come on they will increase in length and be of heavier material.
 Fur lined circulars are among the com ing probabilities. They are of course the legitimate outcome of the present fashion for capes.
 Childrcn's suits arc made of two colors, with hose to match. A dress of blue and gray has the yoke sleeves, belt and stock ings of blue, the rest of the costume being of gray.
 Gloves of black undrcssed kid arc fash ionable. They are not always comfortable to wear and should Dc avoided by ladies whose hands have the slightest inclination to perspire.
 Very long ostrich plumcs-the longer the better-are coming into favor. Some of the new ones wind around the crown of the hat and fall over at one side. An extreme style shows the plume sweeping the shoul- der.
 Pearls are again in the height of fash ion, and by one of the caprices of La Mode arc said to be appropriate to wear in the daytime. This is one of the oddities of fashion and one, by the way, which it is just us well not to follow.
 Dresses with narrow skirts may be made fashionable by ripping the brcadths half the distance up the skirt and setting in these openings A shaped sections of my suitable material. A stylish dress of this sort Is n thick peau de soie with the added sections of velvet draped with lace.-New York Ledger.

 You will not shirk your part to- night, however, remarked Mrs. Clay, with an ominous gleam ill her eye. The young American knew only too well that further remonstranco would prob ably result in her dismissal, SO nothing more was said. That night, according  to orders. she. with infinite pain, clap ped hands briskly. At the first touch the blood gushed from her suffering finger; but, although her partner was Mrs. Clay. neither reference nor apology was made by that exacting star either then or afrcrward.

 He determined not to get scared, though his teeth were chattering, so Inc announced that he would go down and investigate.

THE SCHOOL TICKET.

Last year the democratic school ticket was elected by an unprecedented majority. There were two reasons for this: First, because the candidates placed in nomina- ton were men of unimpeachable character and good ability. educational and execu- tive; and secondly. for the reason that a sectarian issue was raised against the candidates. Every member but one of the board of education and district com mIttee has been honored with renomina- tiOn, and the high standing of the local .hools is their best endorsement. Very Rev J. A. Mulcahy. Dr E. W. McDonald and pr J. F. Hayes are men who have de voted considerable time and study to the matter of public education and have done much to raise the standard of the schools Of Waterbury. Dr E. A. OIIara, the other candidate, is we'll fitted by education and inclination to make an ideal member of the board. The finances are safe in the hands of such conservative men as Captain A J. Wolff. Michael Begnal and John J. Mcdonald Each has served years upon the district committee and thoroughly un- derstAuds the financial needs of the dis tEict John W. Burns. the candidate for treasurer. has never before appeared for public favors. He is a popular young man and has been an active worker in the ranks for many years He deserves we'll of the party and ought to be elected. Every effort must be made in behalf of tue school ticket. as A repudiation of the A r. A. whose main attack will be made at this point.
