Mrs. Jane Kane, who keeps a small
store at 72 Oak street, was hini-hammed
out of S3 yesterday AFTERNOON by slick
looking chap who came into her store and
asked her IL she would give him three II
bills for silver, as he wanted 10 send
mat amount sway in an envelope. Mrs.
Kane counted out the money while the
man was fishing out the silver from his
pocket, but before he got oil of his
bills into the envelope, and then put II in
bis pocket. Then ne told Mrs. Kane
that be had forgotten to give her the
silver, SO he laid the envelope on the
show case and asked her TO keep II until
ne went out for postage stamp. Mrs.
Kane did as requested, and later in the
evening came TO the conclusion that the
man was stranger in the city and had
wandered away from her store snd could
not find his way back, and IL such was
the case, she was three dollars anead of
the game. Before closing up her shop for
the night she opened the envelope and
found that it was empty, and then she
changed her mind. she reported the
case TO Captsin Marston.
OPENING OF SCHOOLS.
The question OF the opening OF the
school next Monday is being considered
by the comm itteemen, who are expected 10
announce their intentions Saturday.
Many OF the parents are inclined 10 feel
that they should remain closed another
week because of the diphtheria epidemic.
At the time they closed at least 20 per
cent. were detained at home by the
parents and II is reasonable TO suppose
even more than a quarter of the usual at
tendance will not be permitted TO attend
II they open Monday, especially Sc many
OF the families have sought advice from
their physicians, who have recommended
this course as the safest to follow.
