DESPERATE nnRGLARs.


They Break in the Window of "A Store
Mt Twenty-second and Market Streets
and steal a Gold Watch.
Depredations still continue in the north
of the Ninth ward. Thursday night burg
lars smashed big plate glass window in
the grocery store of A. ii. Finnerty, at
TweTty-second and Market streets, and
stole a gold watch which was OH exhibit
ton there. The robbery occurred between
Ii and IL o'clock, and it is supposed the
noise that was made by breaking the glass
was drowned by the rumble of u street cur
which was passing at the time.
There is some suspicion as to who the
guilty parties are, but as yet no arrests
have been made. Two young men were
seen about that time to come from the
rear of building on Market street Oppo-
site The store and in few minutes they
we're noticed returning hurriedly in the di-
rection from which they had come. The
suspected men are residents of Brandy
wine Village and an investigation will be
made.
The burglars evidently intended to enter
tie store, but they were afraid to do so
after they had broken the window. The
watch which was taken was prize which
had been offered by the grocer with par
ticuar brand of soap. Nothing else was
taken. although quantity OF silverware
was equally as handy.
The broken window measured about 5xl
feet and was valued at S65. 1t was insured
with Mather Il Co.

WHAT DOES GRACE MEANe
An Intlmation That He Wants to Succeed
nm as United States SENATOR.

NEW YORK, April 19.-"Does the
resignation of William II. Grace from
the State Democracy mean that he
wants to be United States Senator, to
succeed David Is. Hillp" is question
many are asking.
This is the construction put on his
resignation by some of the local politi-
clans. Mr.. Grace knows that to procure
this election he must seek the aid of
Tammany, and, so long as he remained
the leader of the State Democracy, this
would have been impossible. ..-
The Democracy Of this State is disor-
ganized. There are in this city alone
four factions. In Kings county there
are two. In Buffalo aud Albany the
Democracy is divided. To insure Demo-
cratic success there must be union.
The first step toward this must be taken
in this city and must be tho coalition of
the State Democracy with Tammany
Hall.
1t is we'll known that Tammany closed
its doors against the State Democracy at
the last election because Mr.. Grace was
the active leader of it. His resignation
now opens the way to coalition. If he
wishes the United States Senatorship as
reward for his action, Tammany will,
it is thought, be willing to help him, as
| il has no candidate.

Exercises Mt the kindergarten in school
No. 10 on MISREPRESENTATION of the
Portrait of Troebol.
In honor of the birthday anniversary
of Froebel, the originator Of the kinder
garten, very interesting exercises were
held Friday afternoon at the colored
kindergarten, in the Howard schoo,
building.
A circle of 25 tots, varying in hue
from cream to sable, and all in gala at
tire, rendered a number of pleasing
songs and movements under the direc-
ton of the Kindergarten in charge,
Miss Isabella Anderson. Productive of
much enjoyment, was the song and
game showing the transformation of the
caterpillar into the butterfly, the chill
dren acting their parts very cleverly.
The quaint little speeches and senti-
ments expressed by the children in the
conversational part of the lesson were
also hugely enjoyed.
The principal feature of the afternoon
was the reception by the school of fine
large portrait Of Froebel, the gift of the
Delaware kindergarten Association. A
hymn of praise to Froebel and march,
In which each child carried beautiful
bunch of flowers, and after marching
around the easel holding the portrait
placed them as O votive offering before
1t. The flowers were afterward distrib-
utcd among the children.
The exercises closed with little song
saying "good bye" to the teacher and
school for the week. Tho children wcrt
