Talk of Separate Districts and An
neXatiOn.


Tonigh, in ODD Fellows Hall at Au
burn the citizens OF the latter place
will convene at the invitation of q few
leaoers, TO discuss the question "Shall
Auburn form an independent district?''
The citizens OF Edgewood met last Fri
day evening and voted unanimously that
they wanted an independent district, and
elected committee 10 petition the Legis-
lature for a charter similar to that grant,
ed the Narrsgsnsett District.
At this meeting In Edyewood were
many citizens OF the other parts of the
town.
Since the instigation of the Edgewood
secession proceedings the subject has
been discussed pro and con all over the
town.
1t is claimed by the Edgewood inde-
pendent district advocates that Auburn
does not want to see her wealthy neigh
Dor separate from the town and to thwsrt
the endeavors OF the Edgewoodites by
forcing the Assembly shut down on what
seems to be contagious evil"
On the other hand 1t is claimed that
Auburn is sincere in her eHdeavora Ii
is also claimed that IL Edgewood is sue
cessful In obtaining a charter for a sep
arate district, Auburn will be left to the
mercy OF the "west End"-her hereditary
enemy, politically, and rather than suffer
this humiliation she will endeavor to
withdraw also.
ARLINGTON MAY ANNEX.
The universal agitation forces every
village OF the town to ask itself the ques-
tion: "where are we st?" Arlington for
some time has entertained a fond hope
for annexation. Cut off geographical
from other parts OF the town and adjacent
to the city, 1t seems 10 be disobeying
nature not to annex. Such is the argu-
ment of the Arlingtonites, at present,
action may Re heard from next.
An old politician said today: "The
next six mcnths will be the most inter
esting period In the history OF Grams
ton. Men who have heretofore been
lax about voting have registered and are

ABOUT THIEVES.
Petty LarcenieS Are Unusually
Numerous.
Police Think That Stolen Goods Are
Sent Away.

Never in the history OF the police de-
partments of the different cities in the
United States bave there been so many
petty isrcenies as there have been this
winter, and just why this should be, is
something OF mystery TO the suthori-
ties.
overcoafs seem tc be the most promi.

quite seldom that one is found, which
leads the police to think that the coats
are stolen in different cities and then
shipped to New York or some other cen
ter and then disposed of. This state of
affairs 10 true of this city.

OF course every body knows the old say
ing, "A person can claim his own prop
srty wherever 1t is found" and the
same is true IN case a man loses an over
coat he can "go TO law" prove
his property, and any court will al
low his possession OF his coat, SO it
can be plainly seen by this that the
police have no right TO the coat On
the other hand, should a coat, or in fact,
any article be stolen, and the same sold
TO another person, and the thief arrested,
the articles can then be taken by the
police, they giving bond that in case
the loser does not prove his property
1t shall be returned. Should the loser do
this and the thief be fined or imprisoned,
the man can then and there walk out Of
the court with his goods, or can take
them wherever they are found without
a cent of cost. Such was the case in court
q short time ago when a gold wstcn was
In question. Ii had been stolen three
years ago, and had been owned by parties
in Pswtucket, Boston, and was finally
fou Id on a respectable citizen OF Provi-
dence, who was obliged to return 1t to
the owner from the fact that the man
that stole 1t had been arrested and con-
v;cted for stealing II.

There have been many cases that come
to the police to caution them against
calling upon the second hand dealers
to depart with goods that have teen
stolen. For instance, not many
weeks ago well dressed
man called upon Detective Parker and
told him that his gold watch and chain
had been stolen, The man gave a good
description of his watch and in less than
an hour 1t was located, and The man so in
formed. He was told TINT he could Nave
the watch by rsying the charges. lie
said he would think IL over and few mo-
nents later the man who lost the watch
was seen IN the Union station niong with
the man who pawnod &. Both men were
taken 10 police headquarters. here The

gave tie wstch TO his ral TO pawn so that

II has been known Of course that the
ball OF the Providence Police Association
was financial success, but whether the
net proceeds were larger or smaller than
those OF preceding years could not be
ascertained until ell the tickets had been
accounted for and the bifis settled.
This has now been done, the treasurer,
Mr.. John A. Moray, making his final
deposit Of the ball funos today. The net
profit OF the ball was $685.. 81 apd the
fund Of the association will be aug
mented by that amount. This sum is
only about S12 short of the net proceeds
of the ball of '93, which was the mos.
profitable in the history Of the associa-
tion. 1t is said there were some super
sti,ious ones in the department who be-
lieved that because the latest was the 18th
annual ball II was likely to be less success
full than former Jones. Indeed these su-
perst!tious one believed, or affected to be-
lieve, that the affair might even prove q
losing one because Of its number, but the

will those captIous gentlemen wko were
won't to call him an impractical visionary
be forced to the confession that Mr.. Cole
man knew what be was talking about
ell the time and that they didn't. And
In this connection 1t should not be for

not found necessary, as now seems prob

$40, 600 year. which their maintenancs
would entail.
This Venezuelan muddle, which has set
by the ears two of the greatest nations on
the globe, has brought into strong relief
the name OF one Schomburgk. Who this
Schom burgk was, where he lived, or what
he did, except to make the line of de-
marcation between Venezuela and Guians,
which has rsised such q row, very few
people know. He was not, however, as
some persons seem to conjecture, a great
statesman or diplomat. On the contrary
he was a very humble individual. indeed
and.in early manhood worked as clerk
in Boston and later In Philadelphia.
From the Quaker City he went TO Rich
mond, Va. where he was engaged In tho
tobacco business, but that venture does
not appear to have prospered very much,
for q few years afterward he drifted
southwark to the West Indies and later to
South America. 1t was here that ne
made some botanical discoveries which
brought him to the sttention of some of
England's big officisls, snd he was sub
sequentIy engaged to run the boundary
line between Venezuela and Guiana. For
this service he was afterwsrd knigh hted.

The statement has been made and thus
far has gone unquestioned that the largest
single days registration in the history
OF the city was that of Tuesday last,
when II reached 1905. As matter OF fact
Tuesdays registration was not a record
breaker by any means, although 1t is next
to the largest ever recorded. On Decem-
Der 81, 1880, the total registration was
2o32 or 123 in excess of that of Tuesday
last. II win be recalled that at that time
the question OF whether or not a citizen
was compelled TO show his naturalization
papers at the timo he offered to register
was carried to the Supreme Court. which
decided that 1t was not necess ~, that
the papers be displayed at the time OF
registration, but that they could be
shown later. This decision aroused the
leaders OF both parties who, during the
closing days OF the year, worked as they
never worked before to secure full reg
istration of the memb bers OF their respec-
tive parties and the big record OF Dec.
81, 1880, vas the direct result OF their
labors.

Occasionally one il located by the po-
lice and the owner notified. The real
owner OF the coat is then in a quanda-y
as to how he can recover his coat. For in
stance, a thief finds his way into the
entry of house, steals an overcost
which he sells to a pawn broker or Sec
ond hand dealer. The loser of the coat
reports his loss to the police, a complete
description OF the coat is given, and the
police find it in possession of some sec
ond hand dealer, and the loser Is 90 no.
titled.
The loser then calls upon the police to
receive 1t and is quite put out when told
that this cannot be done, and the only
way that this can be done is by civil
process, for all the police can do, when
they are satisfied that the coat has been
stolen, is to request the dealer to hold
the garment for day or two, or until
the thief has been arrested. The dealer
can do as he chooses in the matter as he
has license to buy and sell second hand
goods, and he has the right to purchase an
article and sell IL at the next moment. 1t
Is only fair TO say OF the dealers in this
city that IL Ii can be shown them that
an article has been stolen, they are will
ling to deliver it to the righttul owner
il he agrees TO pay the amount that
has been advanced upon 1t.
