THEFTS AT VASSAR COLLEGE.
An Expert Pilferer Evidently Making the
Famous Womans College His Home

Famous Woman's College His Home.
Poughkeepsie n. Y, April 25.-The
authorities Of Vassar College have for
long time past been keeping from the
public the fact that there has been a
system OF organized thievery in the in
stitution. One student would lose
garment and another piece of jewelry,
but strenuous efforts prevented any no.
tice OF the facts from reaching the pub
lie attention. Everything was done to
hush up the thefts and until now the
college authorities have been complete
ly successful in this direction.
During the last few weeks. however.
the rob5erieS have become so frequent
that it has been impossible to keep
them quiet The students now are said
10 be in a great state Of excitement over
the fast increasing number OF robberieS
from their rooms. The utmost care
has been taken to detect the thieves,
but all has been in vain. At first sus-
picion was directed to the servants and
chambermaids. One after another they
were put under surveillance. but still
the thefts continued and the perpetra-
tors escaped detection. The very ma
ture OF the robberies made it apparent
that they must have been committed
by some one inside the institution ia
miliar with the ways of the students.
Mrs. ]. r. Kendrick, principal of the
college, in an interview. frankly admit
ted that robberies had been committed
very recently under the roof of Vassar.
chn ;t
possible that any one of the students
could be guilty. "At first thought"
she said. Il believed this to be the work
of a kleptomaniac. Many of the arsic-
les stolen are so marked that it, would
be impossible for them to be used about
the college without detection" Then
she made the statement that although
she did not for an instant think that
any of the students were connected
with the affair. She expressed great
sorrow that any suspicion OF the latter
should have gone abroad The per-
sons who have conjectured that we sus-
pect the pupils OF these ,thefts must
have arrived at their conclusion by the
process of Elimination. Many times
articles have been reported as stolen,
when a little later they would be found,
possibly in Il packing trunk or on top
OF a wardrobe. Only the other day a
student told me that some garment had
disappeared from her wardrobe in the
the corridor l asked her if she kept
it locked. No she replied; I've kept
my clothes there for years and have
never locked it. So you see, we have
always felt confidence in those about
us, and have never imagined that any
thing OF the kind could occur here
Still, the fact remains that these areic-
les are missing. and we have no clue to
the perpetrators.

FROM BULU WAY0.
Additional Information Concerning
the Battle Fought Between the
Matabeles and the British Forces.
Matabeles Improving as Fighters.
Copyright. Associated Press.)

Copyright. Associated Press)
Capetown, April 25.-Every addition
al item of news from Buluwayo shows
that the small body of British troops
OF 800 men, which SORTED Friday morn
ing from that town and engaged a Mat
abele army, occupying about four miles
OF the north bank of the UnguZa river,
displayed the greatest gallantry. Sew
eral remarkable examples of herosm
are recorded, upon the part of the Off
GERS and troopers, in saving the lives
OF wounded comrades at the risk
of their own lives. One officer gave
his horse to a badly wounded comrade
and soon afterwards was killed while
f1ghting his way back to his corps.
The general result of the engagement
appears to have been a reverse for the
British. who were greatly outnumbered
and once were nearly surrounded.
The Matabeles showed much superior
knowledge of tactics than they did
while fighting years back. They threw
themselves on the ground when they
saw the machine guns going into action
and repeatedly tried TO outfank the
troopers.
The evidence points to the Matabeles
having the intention of endeavoring to
surround the town and cut off commu
nication with it in all directions.
A patrol was to have left Buluwavo
on Thursday in order 10 ascertain II the
route to Salisbury was till open for the
advance OF the relief column despatch
ed from Mefeking upon which body of
men rests the hope of relieving Bulu-
wayo. The advance guard of this col
umn is expected to reach the outposts
or Buluwayo during the first week in
May and the main body, it Is hoped.
will reach the besieged town soon after

FIERCE FLOODS IN KANSAS.

ABILENE. KANSAS. April 25.-The
greatest flood in Abilene's history has re-
suited from a terrific rain few miles
north of town. In three hours Mud creek
rose thirty feet and all the west and north
sides are under water. The streets being

property is injured but no lives have been
lost. Several families in the west and
north part of Russell were driven from
their homes by The high water in Fossil
creek. Much general damage was done to
crops and many crossings and sidewalks
were washed out.

sATOLLrs SUCCESSOR.
No omcial Informa,:on Concerning Him
Has Been Received from Rome.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Cardinal Sa-
TOLL has received no intimation, official or
otherwise as to his successor as Papal
delegate, and the report that Delegate
Avaradi, present nuncio TO Mexico. would
succeed him at Washington. is regarded as
based only on speculation as no determin-
alton has been reached at Rome. There Is
some doubt expressed as to whether the
delegate to Mexico would be transferred
to the United States just as his services in
Mexico were beginning. AS yet there -
no intmation of the time of Cardinal Sa-
TOLLS departure. There have been unoifi-
cial reports current in Rome that con-
sistory would assemble in June, in which
case Cardinal Satolli might be summoned
to Rome. although his presence at tho
consistory would not be imperative. The
general impression prevails that when the
Cardinal returns 10 Rome he VIII become
a member of the propaganda, as a result
of his intimate acquaintance with the az
fairs Of the church throughout the world,
and particularly in America.

FOREIGN VS.. HOME AID.

There is such restitution in India
that the charities of this country
might well be exerted there. While
so much physical want and suffering
exists everywhere it is doubtful If it
is wise to spend 81 to send 80 cents
worth of relief to Armenians. who are
in their present straits more on ac-
count of political obstreperousness
than for any other cause. In India
the famine has been very far reach
ing, and the cheaper article of food,
as compared with wheat, American
corn might well be utilized there as
an article of food. The relief could
be extended in any event at less cost
of service than in Armenia, where the
New York World shows that out of
every 81 raised for relief it costs at
least $3.50 to distribute it, leaving on
ly 80 cents for the destitute in that
country. We could send $3.50 to the
Indies at cost of the 80 cents. While
this is true, there is even another side
of the case, and that is the duty that
the religious philanthropy of this
country owes to the destitute in Amer
lea, rather than to the Armenians.
Charity begins at home if it does not
end there, and this charity has not as
yet made itself conspicuous in sup
plying the wants of the destitute thou
ands in our own land. The criticism
is not that the destitute of other
lands are cared for by religious char
ity in this country, but that the char
ity which so conspicuOusly cares for
the foreigner, just as conspicuously
neglects the home sufferer. The win
ter with all its severity approaches
and the want felt in all our large cit
les, after a season of such depression
in business, and the forced idleness,
it has entailed, promises to greatly in
tensify as the cold weather comes up
ON us. A 81 relief that will spend 49,
80 upon the destitute of our own cit
les and neighbOrhOOd, would he a
mighty good thing to have in the fam
lily for the next four months. if no
longer.
