A BOLD ROBBERY.
w. n. wilson's once broken Into Las,
Night.


Some time during the night a daringl
thief broke into the law Office of W. H.
Wilson and stole a typewriter out of his
desk. He entered by removing the
transom over the door and crawling
through. when he unfastened the latch
from the inside and opened the door.
The marks where his feet rested on the
nodded when he climbed up to the hole
through which he entered, and on the
other side as he lowered himself to the
floor, can be plainly seen. The most re-
markable thing about the whole affair
is that he did not touch anything except
the machine, although there were
stamps and other articles in the deskl
which could be turned into money. y
Mr.. Wilson came to his office late this
morning and did not mics the stolen
article until almost noon. At first he
thought that someone had hid it for a
| joke. Diligent search and the discov-
cry that the transom was wrenched from
its fastenings on one side proved, how
ever, that robbery had been committed.
Mr.. Wilson reported the matter to the
police, but as there is no clue, and as he
is doubtful whether or not he could pos.
itively identify his property, it will be
hard matter to find the guilty party or
the stolen typewriter.

Buy Now and Get the Benefit of the
 Low Summer Prices.
 Business at the New Haven Window Shade company's store, 6S, 70, P Orange street, is very lively. The buyers of their goods are numerous and come from all sections of the city and from all the neighboring towns. The firm is among the most sagacious of buyers and with their capital and advantages can afford to make the special induce ments which are taken advantage of by so large a number of the people. And don't forget to buy now before the prices advance, as the goods cannot be replaced at the present rates. The store Is a fine one and great stock of goods is shown, and it is no wonder they sell fast, as the prices are right, and with so large a stock all tastes can be suit ed. The stock of carpets Is a splendid one, and though the prices have ad- vanced at all the big carpet mills, the the Window Shade company is selling at the old low figures. Buyers should make a note of this. A special bar gain also are those ruffled fish net cur tains. They are in demand.

CLUB ROOMS ALSO.

There are numerous places where the law
is violated without apparent restraint, but as
a general thing there are comparatively few
saloon keepers who sell on Sundays. Perhaps
il is because they fear being caught and run
the danger of losing their licenses.
Beside the kitchen barrooms there are sew
eral club rooms some OF which are conducted
80 indifferently that the members are per-
mitted to become drunk
There is club room on East avenue. Last
Sunday evening several young men were
standing near the entrance. They would lead
a person to believe they were waiting for some
Of the members to take them in.
Some say that only members and guests
will be furnished with drinks in that place,
but If IL is so now the rules have been changed.
Then there is club in the Fifth ward where
even women can enter on Sundays and par
take Of beer or whatevor liquid they may
order. But that place is by far more respect
able than either of the places at Fairlawn or
Woodlawn.
