Burglars got in some clever work last
night and secured good haul. The
Metropolitan Life Insurance company oc-
cupies quarters on the top floor of Platt's

of the building, but with windows opening
to the west. There is one large office
where the thirty-fve agents have desk room.
door leads to this room from the corridor
of the building Adjoining this room is
another smaller room. The front part is
occupied by the cash drawer, the desk of
the bookkeeper and stenographer. Sepa-
rated from this in the rear is small en-
closure, containing one window, which is
occupied by the assistant superintendent
desk 1t was in this small Enclosure that
the work was done.
Superintendent Thomas f. Hancock left
the office at o'clock last night. He re
turned at and found everything all right.
Thursday is the great collection day of the
company. \ yesterday was no exception to
the rule The agents turned in betwe, n
5000 aud 500 in bills and S143.79
in silver. Superintendent Hancock, as
was his custom, put the bills in his pocket
and locked the silver in his desk. When
the superintendent arrived at $50 this
morning he found the transom of his office
open. When he unlocked the door a
chair was standing Just on the inside. He
Immediately suspected something wrong
and going to his secretary found it broken
open. 1t is ling top desk and some
instrument had been used to pry it open,
breaking the lock. All the silver, which
was kept in tin box in the desk. was
gone, as was what had been in cash
drawer in the desk. The drawer had also
been broken open. Burned matches We're
scattered around the desk in profuSion.
Nothing else was disturbed in the Office,
not even SO which was in the cash drawer
in the bookkeepers desk.
Superintendent Hancock at once notified
the police. Detective Egan found that
entrance had been effected through the tran
som, as the dust had been brushed from
the framework. Superintendent Hancock
thinks it the work of some one well ac-
quainted with the lay of the office. and
who also knew that money is always kept
there on Thursday nights. He said that
he could suspect no one, however. One
or two agents get through every week.
The company recently purchased a safe,
but it has not yet arrived.

\ thought called from the ar
ticlc on "Our Young Women" in
Union Signal of last week:
We have always sadly wonder
cd that the colleges, universities
and scminarics in which young
women are being educated, either
by themselves or with young men,
were not more thoroughly opera
ted upon by the local and State
I'm. rs in which they exist. We
have wondered that the presidents
and professors of those inStitu-
tons, working as they do upon
brain, have not perceived that the
systematic and wcll-rcasoncd work
of the white ribbon women call Of
which convcrges upon maintain
ing the integrity of the brain me-
naccd as it is by the habit of slim
ulation) was more important to
their pupils than any other posi-
bic line of reform or philanthropy
ic effort
We believe that with the open
ING Of these institutions in Sep
TENDER, it will be the duty Of ey
cry local union to do its utmost
to secure the organization of a \.
W. G. L. [. to this end. It will
be important to approach the pres
idcnt, professor or teacher who is
most in sympathy with us and en-
dcavor to get an opportunity Of
presenting the subject. 1t goes
without saying that this must be
done by person of Christian de
votion, education, refinement and
tact. 1t is not enough that the
one who speaks should be fH!l of
zeal and have had long experience,
shc must be what we call "prcScnt-
able, that i, her face, tone,
toilet and manner in every re
spcct must be such as to attract.
We know that the average young
woman depends more upon the
''outward appearance than she
will when mcllowcd by the discip-
line of life. She is quick to take
wing if she does not like the ditty
we are singing, and-alas-is apt
to be "gainsaying'' when she is
not pleased; but all the same she
is full of noble impulses, and if
questions Of taste outrapk other
in her mind, it is be
cause she has been taught from
her earliest rocollections that
some things were ''pretty' and
that whatever was "not pretty
was not to be put up with.

The Cause of Lynching.

Rev. r. A. Abbott, of Virgin
ia, has been investigating the
cause of lynching in our country,
and in letter to the public gives
his conclusion. He says; ''On.
of the great causes of lynching il
America is drunkenness. HAY.
ing, as best / could, sought the
causes of the crime for which
lynching is practiced, have fail
ed to find an instance in which
the criminal was not under the in
fiuence of liquor. And the mob
that lynches is nerved and pre-
pared for this frightful work by
liquor. If drinking were stop
ped, this form of lawlessness
would be practically abolished.
In the solution of this problem
let the American people take that
fact into consideration"

n Welcome Substitute.

The Pittsburgh Dispatch re
ports the proprietor of one of the
largest bars in that city as saying
recently that: eff the demand for
buttermilk increases each year as
in the last few years, it will soon
be rival to beer as a popular
drink. He added: "Neyer be-
fore has the demand for this cool
ing beverage been so great as it
is this year. 1t is not hrraldcd
and advertised by signs in saloons.
for the reason that there is more
money in beer. Nevertheless,
one would be surprised at the
large quantities consumed. One
bar gets away with ten gallons a
day, while another that | know
of, uses six gallons. 1t is the
greatest bugbcar to the bars now,
and the demand makes them keep
it, no matter how they may seek
to hold it in the background. >
The Dispatch says: "Any after
noon you can find what are now
derisively termed 'buttermilk bri-
gades' lined up in front of any of
the larger bars guzzling butter
milk, happy in the knowledge
that it will soon erase the eXpen-
sive coloring on their faces which
old King Alcohol has painted, not
in water colors either" All hail
to buttermilk as new ally of
temperance reform.
