a simple matter when the climber can
walk up to the line of vegetation and
then board railway car to be drawn
to the top through an inclined
tunnel cut in the rocky side of the
mountain. At this rate the Alps will
cease to be reign of thrilling in
terest.

THE JEWEL THEFT.
Robbers Secure 1000 Worth in New
York House.

1Ork
New York. December 2S.-One strange
feature of the theft last night Of $751;
900 worth Of jewels from the residence
Of /. Townsend Burden, IS the fact at the
time of the robbery, which is supposed
to have been about 10 o'clock, none OF
the servants had retired, and that l.
Townsend Burden, Jr., and party OF
friends were in the house playing cards.
Young Mr.. Townsend says that several
times he heard persons moving about
m the house, but supposing that they
were the servants he paid no attention
10 the noise.
Nothing in the house except the safe
was disturbed. The burglar appears TO
have known exactly where to place his
hands upon the safe and the jewels.
The door of the safe was not broken,
which gave evidence that either the per-
son who took the diamonds knew the
combination, CT Else that Mrs. Burden
left the safe door open when she went
to the opera. Among the jewels taken
from the safe was a diamond necklace
worth $4,000, another necklace Of not
such great value, solitaire diamonds and
pearls.
The servants who have all be ques-
toned closely, say that they heard no
noise and had not the slightest idea
that the place had been robbed until
informed of 1t by Mrs. Burden when she
returned from the opera. The police
maintain rigid silence on the subject
of the robbery to-day, and at the Bur
den residence all inquiries are met with
the statement that the matter is out of
the hands Of the inmates.
