On Saturday last at about p. M, bold
and also reckless housebreaker forcibly en-
tered the depot store and pilfered therefrom
the amount of about three pair of shoes, two
ladies and one gents. The reason for this
small load is that he didn't have long enough
time to select the other articles he needed,
such as socks, shoe strings, &c.
MI. Dean locked the store and went to
supper at nearly 5 o'clock: Between this
hour and the time Mr.. J. Collifower brought
the evening mail was all the time the rascal
had to secure his booty. AS both front and
back doors were bursted open 1T Is supposed
he entered al the front door and frightened
soon by the approach of the mail man he
escape. Anyone buying new shoes at this
date better carry signed certificate OF their
character with them or the Graceham ANA.

ilized Food Company of Baltimore CITY,
whose factory is located In Thurmont, began
operations on Monday last. On that GATE
thew received their first milk for condensing
aud their machinery was put to WORK there-

To clear up some points In regard to the
milk. its character and condition as required
by the Company. we interviewed the super.
intendent on Tuesday. He wasyery explicit
in bis statements and our people need ap'
prehend no difficulty whatever IN deailng
with them or in meeting the requirements
the milk produced need only be honorable
and observe the most ordinary rules OF clean
illness and care, to find his milk received ana
paid for without demur. The superinten.
dent covered the matter by remarking that
"such milk as any well.regulated housekeep-
ING places upon the table we are willing to
receive"
Our farmers should at their earliest op.
portunity, call at the Factory where they
will readily arrive at au understanding they
should not he conservative Ordoubtfml as to
their ability to satisfy the Company. Hun
dreds of tons of milk are being sold to Con-
densed Milk factories elsewhere why not
here? 1t will be benefit to our people and
the sooner they run the milk receipts up to
the full capacity Of the Factory. the sooner
they will begin to reap the full benefit.

Luxury Except One She Needed.
Papa" said the millionaire's beau
tiful daughter, as she put her arms
around him affectionately, papa,

She hesitsted, and he hastily inter-

everyone crazy"
but don't want bow-wow," she
said, petulantly. you've always been

good"

He saw that his beautiful daughter
was determined, and he sighed.

But you'll have to make the most Of

The man had just como back from a
years sojourn in England and had used
the telephone to announce to friend
his presence in town.
MY, but that's different from the
service we got across the pond" said
he. "0ver there it's something like
this:
"You ring and say: Are you thereP'
Are you therep is the answer.
AFTER assuring the young woman
that You are there she asks what num-
Der you want. You tell her. Then
you ring of and 60 out and transact
some business. The same morning, If
You are lucky, there comes ring and

Now this story may or may not be
true, but the sequel is gospel fact.
One of the men who heard the yarn
had occasion to use the telephone. He
rang and then:
Are you Gnere?" -.
There was was a moments pause;,

 Last fall al army of sparrows took up winter quarters in the electric light sta ton on Bank street and since that time Chief Engineer Elmer A. Blackwell has been engaged in a constant warfare to rid the place of the troublesome tenants. It was found practically impossible to keep the machinery clean and it was beginning to look as though the roof would have to be removed in order to get rid of the pests. Finally MT Elmer hit upon a plan which worked like a charm and to-day there is not over half dozen birds in the building where few weeks ago there must have been several hundred. lie invented an air gun with which he succeeded in kill. ing the sparrows by the score and has since given several of his friends taste of delicious menu which the engineer calls sparrow pie.

 LONDON. March GA dispatch to The Times from Shanghai says that tho Japa- ncSo declare positively that they do not intend to block the gulf of Pe-chi-l Sov- entccn rico laden steamers left for Tien- tSin.
 Dispatches from Pcking confirm pre- yious dispatches outlining tho success of Il Hung Chang at the Chinese capital. They say that after tedious telegraphing through tho United States minister, Mir. Charles Dcnhy, the text of Ii Hung Chang's credentials as peace envoy have been accepted by Japan. Ii Hung Chang was given an audience by the dowager empress of China in the presence of the privy council, who heartily supported the mission upon which the Viceroy is en- gagged.
 Prince Kung. president of the Chinese foreign office and uncle of the emperor of China, silenoed all opposition by present. ing papers showing that the failure of the Chinese to repulso the Japanese was duo to the backward policy for which they were themselves to blame and exoncrat- ing Lii Hung Chang. who spoke frankly about the condition of the empire.

 Under date of Tien- -tsin The Times pub fishes dispatch saying that disturbances are increasing. One of the Chinese gen erals in the Shantung province was be- headed by his soldiers for attempting to suppress pillage. Similar troubles are reported at Hanan and Liao- Yang. near Mukden, which is probably taken.
