ANOTHER BURGlARf.-Ol tuesday
riobt the store OF Mr.. Marion Lee, on
the northwest corner of Pitt and Queen
streets. was hurglariously entered and
snumber of articles stolen. Last night
Mr.. Lee closed his store earlier than
usual and kept watch on his premises.
Between nine and ten o'clock at night
bs saw small black boy named
Henry jackson about to enter his
house from hack door and cap
tured bin. The boy upon being placed
under arrest told the officer that on
Tuesday night he met two colored boys
named John Williams and Samuel Dud-
ley with a number ofarticles which had
been taken from grocery store, and
they answered in every particular to
the goods stolen from Mr.. Lees store.
He also said he went to the store last
night with Dudley (who is large boy)
for the purpose OF committing burglary;
that Dudley carried an axe for the pur-
pose of killing some one; that when he
(jackson) was arrested Dudley was in
Mr.. Lees house. The officers found the
door broken open, and people in the
neighborhood aver that some person
hurriedly left Mr.. Lees house and
jumped several fences until he reached
an alley, where he crouched until an
opportunity was afforded him to
make his escape. This morning the
parties were brought into the Police
Court and an attempt was made by
Dudley to establish an alibi. A volun-
teer witness in the shape of sable
companion named Carter testified that
he was with Dudley from 5 o'clock
yesterday evening until 10 o'clock at
night, and was positive in his aver
ment. This witness was taken from
the room temporarily and Dudley's
mother, who was anxious to add her
testimony to the pretended alibi, was
allowed to take the stand. She said
the accused went home about six
o'clock and remained there until about
dark, went out again and returned
about 1G. The first witness was then
brought back and he testified
again that he was in Dudley's
company continually from un-
Ill 10 O'clock 1t was evident one
or the other was guilty of perjury,
and it was deemed advisable to hold
the witness, it being proven he was
with the alleged thieves. Another
phase of the case was presented later
in the morning when the officers
searched Jackson's house. They found
an old trunk filled with cans of lard,
-four, condensed milk, tea, milk, &c.,
which answered to the articles stolen
Tuesday night. A little girl in the
house told the officers that her father,
Aaron jackson, brought the things on
the night in question. The police took
possession of the groceries and went on
q hunt for Jackson. The latter, upon
seeing the officers, acted as though he
was about to run, but he was not given
time to do so. 1t now seems apparent
that Jackson and his son are the real
burglars, and that the former was the
one who had the axe last night and
who ran when the officers arrived.
The case will be further examined to-
morrow morning. Burke, Williams
and Carter, the latter being suspected
of perjury, were released under Sc
curity to appear at the future hearing.

sive coffee. If you want it, |

any one else; it just can't be

Roasters have found that
certain fine Central American
coffees come nearer to Java
than any other, and it is a very
easy matter to label a package
"Java." Now if you want to
buy a good substitute for Java
l have a very fine Salvador

You don't pay anything for a

No matter how much the ldealists and ro-
R:anticists complain about il, or pretend
that it is otherwise, the testimonials in
favor of the realists continue pouring in.
Take the following sample:

suit Of Elizabeth Stewart against
John A. Stewart a novel entitled y
Search for the Heart written by the de-
PENDANT i'm China, was introduced in evil

hero with various females and Mrs. Stew

PENDANT"
The husband writes about various firta-
tons with Chinese women. The wife, whose
mind uncOnsciously to herself perhaps
is peryaded with the realistic faith, newt
ably concludes that he must have written
about them. She countenances no idealistic
theory of fiction evolved out of the au-
thor's inner consciousness. Apparently tine
court is also, willingly or helplessly, a be-
lever in realism. for the book is admitted
in evidence.

White gloves are worn with the smartest

than the chamois, which are releSated al

though the tight wrist with large white

verify believe, more comfortable to wear,
writes Isabel A. Mallon in an article on

advise too high q collar, nor a straining
after tailor effects but instead a soft
easy-iitting blouse, held in al the waist
line by draw-strings and having its collar
and cuffs somewhat sitter than the bodice
proper. The wash silk blouses. those seen
at the best shirtmakers. are quite soft and
have a very high turned-over collar and
cuffs to match, st.mened with buckram.
The short-throated woman must always be
considered IN summer time. so catering TO

collar on her blouse, either of embroidery
or muslin, with narrow lace firth on the
edge. soft silk tie is looped in a bow
