A PERSISTENT BURGLAR.
Attempts to Rob Two Houses in One
 Night.

Last night a bold and persistent burglar came near bringing to close his existence.
 The inmates of the Alhambra lodg- ing house last night about Il o'clock heard noise in the rear of the build ing. Some went below to investigate, but the noise they made scared away the intruder. After all was again quiet the noise was resumed, but they again frightened the man away. They finally sent for Officer Bailey and Hooker, who went to the house and laying low for a short while observed a man standing in the doorway at the rear of the building. They watched him for minute and feeling satisfied that he was attempting to burglarize the place, swooped down on him. The man saw them coming for him and he made retreat. The officers called on hm to stop and fired four shots at him, but he kept on.
 Previous to the attempted burglary of the Alhambra, T. Davenport sur- prised a man who was walking stealthily around the Redewill resi- dence on Washington street. The man saw Davenport and started down Washington street at rapid rate. When he arrived at the corner of Washington street and Second avenue he squatted down on the sidewalk Davenport was running after him and did not observe him squat; the result was that the pursuer fell over the prostrate form of the pursued and skinned his shins. While he was pick ing himself up the willy would-be bur- glar made his escape. He is supposed to be the same man who made the at tempt on the Alhambra.

for treatment, being indisposed when he

brought the response that he was not

be out and around in a few days.
It is now quite apparent why Jack Ever

him by the Eureka Club, of this city, to-
box Jack Daily. All the while Everhardt

TWO BRooDs A SEASON.
Terrible Gypsy Moth Discovered
Hatching Second Time.

Maiden, Mass, Sept. 7.-Messrs. H. A..
Ballou, and c. H. Rowe, agents of the State
board OF agriculture, made a startling
discovery today while at work in the
woods of Woburn. They found eggs of the
gypsy moth in process of Matching and the
young caterpillars crawling from them.
These eggs were only laid few weeks
ago, and their Matching before the end Of
the season verifies the worst fears of en-
tomologists, who have predicted that the
gypsy moth might some time have two
broods in one season. If the present warm
weather continues through September and
there are no early frosts, there seems to
be nothing to prevent second crop of
gypsy moths.
The discovery is of the highest impor-
tance to Southern agricultu rists. 1t
means that IN the warmer climate of the
South the gypsy moths would have two
broods regularly each season. The cat
erpillars of the moth being notorious raw
ayers of the cotton plant, the danger to
the cotton crop In case the moth spreads
to the South is clearly evident.

The Ba ntam Bicycle.

Yts admirers claim many advantages for
#, its chief one being its very light weight.
A 21-inch machine geared to a 51-inch
frame, with full roadster equipments, does
not weigh more than twenty-three pounds.
The one shown is a mans bicycle Of full
size, with a 66-inch gear, which is much
higher than most women use. Yet this,
rs is illustrated in the accompanying pict-
ure, taken from the Queen, can be ridden by
. young girl in her ordinary dress. A
much lower machine is being built for la
1ies' riding, and the lowness of the frame
Will admit OF a longer skirt being worn:
The Bantam, which is the name of the
new wheel, is easier to learn to ride, it is
claimed, than the rear driver, though per-
sons accustomed to that would find tie
change awkward at first. Although the
wheels are SO much smaller than those of
the ordinary safety, the vibration is said to
be less perceptible.

zette, commenting on the race between the
Defender and valkyrie to-day, says:
The love-sport-for-s -sports-sake har=
actcr of Americans as well as Englishmen
implies love of fair play and good fellow
ship. Some lewd papers of the baser sort
may suggest unsportsmanlike conduct,
but not soul in the United States orGreat
Britain ever believes a word OF it.
In all contests, on whichever side OF the
water. there Is a fair field and no favor. II
there is any stretching OF the rigtdity of the
rules 1t is uniformly In favor Of the visitors.
The history OF cup matches proves this, and
the general result is that 1t improves the
friepdiness of the two great English ship
ping nations.

ROOFING FOR THE DEFENDER
Intense Interest Felt Here in the
Great Race.
News From the Famous Yachts
Sought After verywherc and
Eagerly Devoured.

There is little being talked about arou nd
town to-day other than the yacht race. At
the hotels there are few New Yorkers. All
travellers whose business would permit them
day off have gone home to see the great
boats come together.
At the departments young and old, men
and women, are discus sing the prob
abilities OF the race. Everybody se,sis to
have good understanding OF the mea ming
of the event, aud nothing OF its kind has
ever created more interest in Washington.
In every public resort and In every office
and business place the same interest is
taken and the same feeling exists There
is a general belief that the Defender Will
lower the coiors of the English boat. but
still there Ia some fear that some unfore-
seen thing may turn up to work to the
disadvantage of the American.
II such a thing should occur and the
Defender should. be beaten, the result
would be regarded as almost calamity.
Everywhere inquiries are being made
regarding the weather, the condition of
the water, and the chances for an un-
interrupted race.
Bulletin boards are closely watched and
every message is eagerly scanned and dis
cussed. AT nearly ali OF the departments
arrangements were made TO have the race
reported as it progresses.
In fact, notwithstanding that it Is Satur-
day, usually busy da y all around, it seems
that everything is being subordinated to the
great International event.
There is little betting being done, because
"--''-rhndv believes and hopes that the
home boat win win, and few people lay
asiue d HEARTFELT wish to wager money that
that wish Will not be gratified.
The feeling of patriotism and pride is
too great for anyone here TO bet against
the Defender.
