gagged in ministerial work, and while
Mrs. Hill was attending to the wants Of
a sick nelghbor. 1t was while the an

away that the house was entered, the
gas turned on full blast upstairs, and
the premises thoroughly ransacked. The

coin and some 'trfilng articles of jew
alry. When Mrs. Hill returned she
found the house in an indescribable state
of confusion. DR.. James was notified, and
he summoned Marshal Lacey, who
promptly responded. but the burglars
had long since taken their departure
without leaving any clew as TO their
identity.

daintily and exquisitely rendered by
Miss Rogers, who acted as accompanist
during the remainder of the program:
two solos by Mrs. Hamilton, whose sweet
soprano voice it is always pleasure to
hear. Her execution was dainty and
her articulation and modulation above
criticism. sig. Perera was heard in
