TITO DARING BURGLARIES.

Valuable Watches Secured in Both Places | The residence of Charles w. Whittle- sey, the druggist, at 220 sherman ave- nue, was entered between and 9 o'clock 1 last Tuesday evening while the family were all seated down stairs by a burg lar, who sneaked up stairs by the back way and went through two rooms, talk ing two silver watches, and escaped without betraying his presence. One of the watches lay on the dresser in one of the servants rooms. The other was in, MT. Whittlesey's bedroom. Beside
 it lay a purse containing considerable
 money in bills, and this was also taken
 by the thief When the servants re-
 turned they missed the watch and gave the alarm.
 The other burglary was at the resi-
 dence of the late Birdsey Lake at 11S0 Chapel street, on the corner of Park
 Here the burglars probably entered sometime after midnight, and even then their entrance was a bold one, for an electric Night on the corner Eliminates the whole vicinity. They selected a side window only a few feet from the adjoining house and slightly hidden from the street by projecting bay window. They pried the window open with jimmy" which let them into the sitting room. The chair was re- moved from the window and the burg lars evidently went immediately to Mrs. Lakes bedroom.
 Mrs. Lake slept unusually sound last might and knew nothing of the occur renee until this morning when she dis covered that valuable gold watch and fob, the property of her late husband, and also her own gold watch, attached to which was a gold chain, had disap- peared. A lorgnette was also taken,
 A very mysterious part of the burg lary is that the thieves passed over some valuable silverware and also some money and pocketbook which lay on the writing case in the hall.
 There is no clue to either of the burg laries. Both have been reported to the police, who are investigating.

 Subsequently reports were circulated to the effect that the anthracite coal presidents we're on the eve of resuming negotiations for 0 settlement of the al- lotment question. This led to sharp rise in the shares of the roads interest ed, and New Jersey Central rose l}s to to 9514, Reading liA to 1414, Delaware and Hudson l1s to 12624, Lackawanna F to 160A, Reading Mortgages improved B@1B per cent. The rise in the coalers had a good effect on the general mar ket, which moved up 4 to IS per cent. Leather preferred Chicago Gas, Sugar, Kansas and Texas preferred, Lake Ei1e and Western Wheeling and Lake Erie, and, the grangers were conspicuous in the rise.
 The advancing tendency was checked because of a break, and Baltimore and Ohio dropped from 551a to 51A. This stock was sold on the passing of the dividend, which was not generally eX- pected. The impression was that the directors would cut the rate, but in view of seni-official statements given out recently it was thought that the company would not be placed in the rank of non-divideRd payers. The eff feet of the directors action on London is awaited with some interest by the street. The drop in the stock had only passing Influence on the general mar ket, and late in the day, when Manhat- tan suddenly jumped 4& to 11SA, the whole list improved and closed firm Manhattan's rise was due to a story, which could not be confirmed, that the company intended to adopt electricity as it's motive power.

Manhattan, how ever, gained AZ. General Electric, St. Paul, and Louisville and Nashville scored fractional losses. Baltimore and Ohio declined 21a per cent. on the day. Pullman Palace sold up 8 per cent. to 160A and closed 162 bid and ITO asked. The strength of the stock was due to a rumor of a consolidation with the Wagner company.

Services Held at His Residence Yesterday
 He Carried Heavy Life Insurance.
 The funeral of John w. Carter, the ex- agent of the New Haven steamboat line, who committed suicide by shooting himself last Sunday night at Unionville, was held at his late residence, 283 Sherman avenue, yesterday forenoon at II o'clock.
 There was a large attendance of friends, and some handsome floral offer ings were displayed, one coming from Peck & Bishop. Rev. w. A. Beardsley of St. Thomas church conducted the services, and the bearers were: w B. Morgan, Peter Bowman, Eli Mix, Wal ter Leigh, w. F. Ford, George Bishop, Miles Rowe and Edward Jones. The inc torment was in Evergreen cemetery.
 MT. Carter carried heavy life in- surance. While in the employ of the steamboat company he carried as high as 1000. Some of this insurance he was obliged to give up when he was out of employment, and this fact prey ed on his mind a. good deal
 He carried a policy of $5,000 with the New York Mutual Life through John w. Nichols agency for great many years. and always kept his premiums paid up, and consequently his family will come in for that. In addition he was member of Momauguin lodge, United Workmen, which pays $2,O00, the which pays the same amount, the Royal Arcanum, which pays $3,000; the Odd Fellows Mutual Benefit association and the Masonic Mutual Benefit association, each of which pays $2000, making total of s11, ,OOO in the fraternal orders, and combined total of $16,O0O. It is said that he is also insured in a northwest ern insurance company and in the Berk- shire company, but had to let the poli- 9ies lapse.

humbly acknowledge his utter inferior ity, then the case will have to be re- garded as hopeless, and no further in- reference on the part of the United States could be recommended.
 His Royal Highness George Freder- ick William Charles, Duke of Cam bridge, is worthy of more than pass ing notice. He is another of the pro- ducts of the nasty marriages into which the old bachelor sons of George III. were hurried when an heir to the throne was needed He is the queens first cousin; two months her senior, but in appearance ten years her junior. Field Marshall and commander-in-ehief of the army, he still attends personally to his duties. He is tall, large and rug ged. Ten years from now he may look as looked the dear old gentleman whose piety and goodness will be chimed from Trinity church so long. as its tower stands and its bells resound.
 But enough of the royal family If its members desire further notice they will have to make special arrangements and rates with the Journal and Cour- fer. It's getting late; the fire burns low; cold dampness is creeping in through the windows. The Cunarder Lucania Is beginning to wake up from her weeks rest; yawns, stretches out her huge dimensions and prepares her self for the next tussle with the North Atlantic. May the ocean have learned the uselessness of opposition; may she even delight to have her bosom pressed by the gleaming bows of the swift steamer and lend herself rapturously to intensity the embrace. But the dark sea is dread Its vast forces are un- known and unmeasured. When it rises in it's might there is no vestige left of the best of oak; no echo of a message from the most skillful of seamanship. It's leaden pillows rise and fall down with windless pulsations where but day before life went out in cruel and bloody tragedy in shrieks of agony, in vast renderings of the elements. Would you sail over the spot and ask? The dead return no answer.
 A truce to morbidness, "Dum ervi- mus; eryamus" And when the call comes let it be met pleasantly as the best men of all ages and of all creeds have met it.
 It is too late to write of the wonder full growth of this wonderful city, While New Workers have been talking and talking about tunneling the Hud- son the Mersey has been tunneled and hundreds of trains daily pass beneath its bed. Let this do as a goodbye fact from your home bound

President Faisre is unfortunate IN at
least one respect. There is something of

course at Versailles on the religious
question. There. at the congress before
the decisive second ballot began. an OBJ
lection suddenly occurred to some Of
those who were preparing TO change their
votes TO him that he was Protestant
This frightened his supporters, and they
rushed off and asked him IL Ii was true.

vehemence of another Peter. giving the

where he was baptized wnen a day old.
and declaring that he was a faithful son
OF the church. This treasured every
body, and he was elected. Now 1t turns
out that. though the fact of his baptism
Is undoubted, he has figured for most of
his adult years as leading member OF
Havre's large Protestant set, has regu-.
larry attended, II not actually joined the
Protestant church there, and has been
an officer OF the exclusively Protestant
Young Mems Christian Association there.
His friends excuse his position by quot
ing the stock phrase. "Once Catholic
always Catholic" bu. If the present
excitement over more serious matters
smooths down enough TO give the public
leisure to consider critically their new

vincing.
