DURING the coming presidential
campaign The great number OF CIVIC
reform organizations which have
sprung up during the past four years
can do real service in discouragin9
the foolish, useless and expensive
demonstrations for political purposes,
such as torch-light professions and
barbecues. They serve no purpose
whatever except as opportunities for
rowdyism, drunkenness, and public
disorder. In time Of great finan-
cial depression like the present, such
exhibitions ought to be disc outraged
il for no other reason than that they
disturb business and waste the peo-
Piles money. Another service which
these organizations might render is
to discourage and suppress, so far as
possible, the use OF personal abuse
and defamation as weapons OF politi-
cal warfare. The appeal here may
lie to decent manners and the ordi-
nary properties Of life as we'll as to
sound political policy. It is pTacti-
csl'y certain that no party nor po-
lltical faction has ever gained any
thing in the long run by resorting to
the armory of billingsgate, falsifica-
ton and villifcation. There is no in
dicatlon at present that the pending
struggle will develope any Of these
evil features, but If any should
threaten, the civic societies Of the
country may we'll use their influence
to nip them in the bud.
THa two Chinese girl graduates OF
the university at Ann Arbor, Mich,
Ida Kahn and Mary Stone, do not ex-
pect to return Immediately to their
native country, but will take another
year of college work in Chicago. In
China they will be made part OF the
staff of one of the hospitals managed
by the missionaries Of the Methodist
church. Both speak English with
surprising accuracy and Auency. OF
the scene when they graduated Miss
Frances j. Baker writes IN the Mich
igan Advocate: "After the COM
menCement Grafton by DR.. Charles X.
Adams, a car Of diplomas was run
upon the platform, while the great
Columbian organ, under the master
full touch OF Professor Stanley, play
ed an accompaniment. 1t is safe to
say that as President Angel con.
ferred the degrees no such outburst
Of enthusiasm was so spontaneously
INDUCED in as when these two girls,
among the 700 young people, march
ed across the platform to receive
their diplomas, dressed in their own
quaint garb of delicately tinted pink
silk for one and blue silk for the
other, the medical faculty joining as
heartily in the applause as did stu
dent and visitor. Great and distin.
guished as was the demonstration,
amounting to an ovation, to the dis
comfture Of these modest maidens,
their reputation was exceeded by
their merits" The Woman's Foreign
Missionary society gave them a re-
Ception on the preceding Saturday, at
the home Of Mrs. L. P. Calkins, serving
refreshments and presenting each Of
them with a valuable case Of surgical
instruments, costing in Sll $50.

Burglars Visit Earl c. An
thongs Residence.
Cleaned Side Board OF All
Valuable Articles.
Robbers Entered Through a Window
and Left Same Way.

Probably at some time about s o'clock
this morning a burglar or burglars broke
into the residence of Mr.. Earl q. Anthony
OF Earl Carpenter & Sons Ice Company,
and cleaned out the sidebosrd of silver.
The Anthony residence is at the corner
OF Broad and Wbitmarsh streets. Beside
it, on the same side Of Whitmarsh street,
is the residence of Mr.. Albert g. Day.
Just further along lives Alderman Fuller.
On the other side of the street, the north
side, lives Mr.. James T.. johnson, the
popular clerk of the Narragansett Hotel.
The thief after clearing out the Anthony
sideboard sorted over the stock in little
shed in Mr.. Days yard, picking ou. the
solid silver and leaving the balance in the
shed. From her window across the way
Mrs. johnson raw a man coming from
tie grounds between ibe Day and An
thony houses with mis- shoes in his hand.
That was at about O'Clock In the morn
ing. At that same hour Alderman Fuller
was sound a. leep in his residence, and he
told Mr.. ANITA ony this morning chat he
could prove an aliDi "a cordingly.
Until the dsmss.'c discovered the rob-
berry at about oclf ck this morning, Mr..
Anthony would have bet dollars to
doug ghnuts that his residence was safe
from breaking unless he should know
about 1t. Out of the front hall of the
house open a drawing room and library
on the right as you go in, the stairs rise
form the left and the dining room, where
the sidcboard is, opens at the further
end. The frolt door and the doors to
drawing room, library and dining room
were shut last night, and there Is
aburglar alarm on each of them. But
the burglar neglected to enter through
any of these doors. He got into din.
ing room through a window on south
side aud contented himself with gCing
through the sidcSoard and not.attempting
house, which, had he tried it, would have
heen just what the burglar alarm was
looking for.

reports began TO circulste through Oiney Vile
about the pastor and Mrs. Snow. They were
