Another Robbery Committed.
This Time on Fort Street.
Thieves entered the home of John
Spencer, in a lane opposite the home
of Henry Smith, on Fort street, Thurs
day night and carried off over five dol
lars in silver, together with fine coat
belonging to Mr.. Spencer and lot OF
shirts. collars and cuffs. Mrs. Spencer
and her young daughter were the only
ones in the house, they occupying the
same room. Mrs. Spencer's story is as
follows:
Il awakened with a start shortly
before midnight. Some noise must have
been the cause, but l was aware of none
at the time. After few moments l
heard a stealthy movement near the
foot of the bed, similar TO that made by
a cat. The noise became more and more
sneak out OF the room. Soon there was
that? OF course there was no answer,
but l could still hear a stealthy move
ment. as If some one were trying to
sneak out o fthe room. Soon there was
a flash of light in the parlor. This l
thought might be the electric lights, but
the position was against such a conclu-
sion. Finally l mustered UP enough
courage to get out of bed, and lighting
a lamp. walked out into the parlOr. No
one was to be seen. l then returned to
the bedroom and locked myself in. On
Weakening the next morning l went into
the parlor and found the top drawer of
the chiffonier wide open, with collars
and cuffs gone. Investigation proved
that other clothes had been taken, as
we'll as some silver from my pocketboOk
and 10 cents from that of my child. The
robbery must have been committed af-
ter l went back to bed, for l surely
would have noticed the open drawer as
I walked through the parlor. l think
the thieves were out in the dining room
when l walked into the parlor. They
must have got in the back way, as left
the door open on retiring, thing very
seldom done by me. So far as any sus-
picions are concerned. I must say I
have none at all. The matter is in the
hands of the police

Kamehameha Concert Notes.

Outdoors or indoors, it will surely
take place.
You may not know where until you
appear on the grounds. The wind and
weather determine that, and electrical
illumination in front of Bishop Hall
will tell the story.
The singing sounds better outside; it
was tried last night. However attract

cert out of doors may be, the health
of those attending will not be heedlessly
risked.

electricity has come to the rescue with

THE SECRETARY
Disc P|ON.
NEWMAN, ILL, NOV. 2, 1895.


DEERE & COMPANY, MOLINE, ILL.
DEAR SIRS: Our exhibition of the
New Disc Plow in broom corn at this
place today was not only success but
a complete surprise to all the farmers
present, and was an agreeable surprise
to myself in that sort of work. talked
with every farmer at the exhibition,
and the majority of them said the pillow
was worth all it cost just to Flow
broom corn. Just think how absurd it
would be TO try to pillow in heavy broom
corn without breaking or raktng and
burning the stalks, but the Disc Pillow
will do it, and do it well. From what 1
have seen of this pillow I think it is the
only plow, for broom corn, at least.
Yours truly,
JAMES MOORE.

SALVATION ARMY AID.
Monthly Meeting Held Yesterday Fore
noon,

The Salvation Army Aid held its
monthly meeting in the vestry of the
State street Congregational church yes
terday forenoon.
Mrs. Samson of Spring street, read an
appropriate set of resolutions on the
death OF Mrs. J. A. King, vino was one
of the original and most active members
of the aid
Ensign Walker of the Salvation Army
was present and reported so conversions
and an attendance of 1926 people at the
Salvation Army meetings during the
last nine weeks, and stated that he
considered the Salvation Army work
more prosperous now than it ever had
been. He also told of some cases of
poverty and wretchedness in Portland.
The president of the aid asked him to
explain about the Ballington Booth mat
ter.
The ensign stated that the whole up
shot of the matter is that Burlington
Booth was offered foreign mission. He
did not want to accept it, therefore he
exercised his privilege of withdrawing
from the army, and determined to start
a mission amongst the middle classes,
which would not at all interfere with
the slum work Of the Salvation Army.
There is a good deal of enthusiasm
m anifested among the ladies of the aid
in the charitable work of the Salvation
Army.

A HARD CASE.
A Boy From, Prince Edwards Island
Robbed of His Outfit.

Last evening boy who halls from
Prince Edwards Island called at the DO
lice station and told Deputy Sterling that
he had been robbed. He is but 49, I'M
used to travelling, and being honest him
self failed to see that others could be
otherwise. He left his grip in the wait
ing room of the Union station while he
took look around and on his return
found that someone had taken it. He
told Deputy Sterling that when he left
the grip there were number of men in
the room.
He lost all his clothes and hardly knew
what to do. The deputy under the cir
cumstances could do nothing in the way
OF helping him to recover his property,
but sent him to the lodging room for the
night. Today something may be done
to help him. He has lost his confidence
in human nature and his CLOTHES. The
latter he may recover, but not the form
er. He is wiser, if poorer than he was
before his loss.

Yesterday morning well dressed boy
some seven or eight years old, presented
himself at Chestnut street school. He
was aooompaniediby an older boy who also
attend the same school. The new boy is
an Armenian and has just arrived in this
country. He came to Portland Tuesday.
He cannot speak word of English. He
was put into ths lowest class, where he
will spend his time for several weeks
learning English from listening to the
other children reciting, .their lessons. Cas-
es Ike these are frequent in their Port
land schools, and 1t is surprising how
qaackly the foreign boys pick up the
common words Of the English language.
