its dedication. Rev Father MeAtee, 8.

church. The site of the church was given

SOME BURGLAR CONSIDERATIONS.

The burglar is, they say, migratory bird
and belongs TO the class that does its travel
ing in the night time, the most ancient au-
thority for this classification of this genus
being the Scriptural text which speaks OF the
thief that cometh in the night. 1t VIII be
observed that twenty centuries ago a thief
that came ia the night was not called a bur
glar because law was not then as perfect a
system Of words and loopholes as it is in
these days; and to the Sanhedrim or Pontius
PLATE or Herod, or Agrippa on any other
Jew or GENTLE who lost a watch, diamond
necklace, or any other valuable out of his
chamber, it made no practical difference
whether the larceny occurred in the day
time or the night time.
But this Is not to the point. Scientific folks
inform Us, and we adopt their demonstrations
for the want Of something better. that the
nebular theory will account for certain strange
things we see in the material world, and that
the wave theory viii explain certain
uncertain psychological anomalies. They arc
here in Washington. at any rate-these migra-
tory birds, or burglars, and it really makes no
difference whether they come to town on the
wings Of the zoologist or the moral obliquity
wave of the psychologist.
The fact Of their numerous presence is evil
denced by the almost infinite series Of stories
about these prowlers which appear from day
TO day in the newspapers. and which may
always be written with the stereotYped appen-
dix: "To be continued in our next"
1t is claimed, also by the scientists, that
there are remedies for all diseases and evils
slightly optimistic view, but one quite in
keeping with many of the best theories in
speculative philosophy. If the wave theory
as to crooks, burglars. and suicides be true
there is something wrong, impotent, radically
insufficient in the Weather Bureau or the Sig
nal Service. They need another drawer in
that bureau. The unheralded approach OF a
zephyr or the soft breathing Of the wind from
he mud fats Of the Potomac might be con-
Ioned, but that a tidal wave Of burglars and
the consequent ebb Of silver spoons and other
forget-me-nots should occur without a signal
flag is quite enough to suggest that the
service is not so signal after all In fact. II
can easily be proved by the lachrymose state
ments II many people in this city that the

GLENNAN CASE AGAIN.
Boarding-house Owner MCGOWAN Sues til
Doctor for Damages to His Property.

Boarding-houSe Owner MCGOWAN Sues the
Doctor for Damages to His Property.
The differences between DR.. Arthur Glen
nan, of the Marine Hospital Service, and his
wife were further complicated yesterday by
the filing of a suit for damages
II. Thomas MCGOWAN. the proprietor of
the boarding house No. $40 Twelfth street
nor thwest, wants $4,000 damages. He says
DR.. Glennan did him that much harm on the
morning that he broke in the doors of Mrs.
Glennan's and Mr.. Silling's room and carried
away his children.
The damage inflicted amounted to 1896 by
stamping, jumping, and kicking. which
''stove, broke, and split" the doors, and
"soied wore, and tore 200 yards of carpet
ana fine rugs.
Mrs Glennan called at THE TIMES Office
yesterday evening accompanied by Mr.. Silling,
the correspondent, to deny that she had been
pursued on the street, as stated in yesterday s
TIMES, by Mrs. Silling, the mother of the CO.
respondent in the case. She stated that at
the time it is alleged Mrs. Siling followed her
from the post-office she was in her home in
the presence of a number of people who will
testify, she said, that she was not out of their
sight from o'clock until 10 o'clock. Mr..
SiIling corroborated this statement.
1t appears that the woman whom Mrs. Sill
ing and friend followed in the belief that it
was Mrs. Glennan on her way to a rendezvous
with Arthur Silling was not that lady, and
must have been some other woman, ignorant
that she was being shadowed.

THE SMALLPOX CASES.

While THE TIMES as matter of duty in
tends always to give the public the full news
concerning cases of contagious diseases in
this city, yet it will be seen from the news ac-
counts thereon that there is no cause for gen.
eral alarm.
The physician who first discovered the
malady made an immediate report to the eff
cient District health officer, and DR.. Wood
ward and his assistants are always able to
cope with cases when they have the good
start that an early notification affords them
The public may be assured that The TIMES
will exercise special care TO report the affair
exactly as If is, giving it no undue prominence
and. on the other hand. not indulging in any
of the dangerous conservatism that fears to
tell the truth about a municipal danger.
There is no cause for alarm. Don't con-
template moving out of a city which has one
of the lowest of death rates. The health Office
is thoroughly convinced that 1.-THE fire is
under complete control and is nearly out"

CAPS FOR THE BOYS.
Juvenile Newsvendcrs Proud to Wear az

Juvenile Newsvendcrs Proud TO Wear The
Times" Headgear.
A neat blue polo cap with white letters on
the front, spelling the words ''THE TIMES, on
the heads of hundred or more newsboys in
all parts of the city yesterday attracted the
attention of passengers on the cars and streets
as they wended their way to their offices and
stores.
The boys appeared proud to wear their
caps and the general public made many
favorable comments regarding the enterprise
of The TIMES, which is always on the alert
for something new and striking.
The boys were so pleased with their caps
that they wore them not only in the morning
while they were selling the morning paper,
but also in the afternoon when they were hard
at work disposing of their evening papers.
During the entire day the newsboys came to
The TIMES office asking for caps. but the sup
ply was exhausted early in the morning and
a great many of them will have to wait until
another lot can be manufactured.

BOSTON srmnhonr Orchestra.

The sale of seats for the Boston symphony
Orchestra opened Monday at Metzerott's
and was fully equal to last year, the indiea-
tions being that the series will be as great an
artistic and social function as they have been
in the past. Some of the old subscribers
asked that preference be given them in the
selection of seats, but to avoid all talk of dis
elimination a line was formed, and Mr.. F. r.
Gomez, assistant manager of the orchestra,
came from Boston to take personal charge Of
the sale. No person was allowed 10 pur-
chase more than ten tickets, and no seats
were reserved unless paid for at the time.
The first concert will be given q week from
to-day. The following programme has been
selected: Overture, Tannhauser; aria, Mrs.
Wyman. contralto: Schumann symphony, G
major; song, Mrs. Wyman; Chabrier, ,entr' 'acte,
Gwendoline, and Goldmark, overture to
Sappho, performed for the first time.
The evening following the concert in Wash
ington the orchestra will open and dedicate
the new music hall in Baltimore with one of
the greatest musical festivals the Monumental
City has had for q long time. In addition to
