ROBBERS MAKE A HAUL.
A Restaurant Entered and
Some Silverware Stolen.
LOOKS LIKE THE WORK OF BOYS
THE THIEVES GAINED AN EN-
TRANCE BY FRYING OPEN A
SHUTTER-A BOYS CAP FOUND
IN THE BACK YARD.

There have been so many robberies
committed in this city during the past
month that the police are in a guam
dary. Their efforts to capture the
thieves have proved futile. The police
now are of the opinion that the gang
is composed of men who are out of
work, and rather than starve have
taken to robbery
The latest robbery which the police
are working on was committed Satur-
day night. at the branch restaurant
depot Of Frank Gardner, at Eighth and
Pine streets.
The thieves gained entrance by fore
Ing a shutter I'm the back yard. This
was accomplished easily. as the bolt
was rather loose. After prying the
shutter the window was raised and the
thieves had q clear field for their dep
relations. They ransackeu the whole
place. turning things upside down. and
then left with three dozen silver knives
and forks
When the neighbors awolie yesterday
morning they made the discovery. and
at once reported the matter to Frank
Bland, who is now connected with the
general depot. at Seventh and shiploy
streets Mr.. Bland went TO the place
and found # in bad condition. There
were at least o half dozen silver castors
In the place, but these the thieves never
touched.
The work looked as II It had been
done by boys as a small cap was found
in the yard. The police are investigat-
ing the affair

AGAINST COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

THE POLICE CANVASS DEALS A
KNOCKOUT BLOW TO THE
MEASURE
Special Despatch Evening Journal
DOVER, Feb. S.-The compulsory
educational bill received a severe blow
here to-day. 1t was caused by the re-
ceipt Of the police canvass Of the school
children of Wilmington, which has just
been completed.
The report shows that out of 9,4S4
children, only 172 are not attending
school. There are no seats for thirty
five Of that number; ninety-one have
not sufficient clothes to wear to school,
and only twenty-four children remain
ed away for no good reason.
This shows the absentees to be less
than two per cent or that number
flfty-fye are Hungarians and Poles.
This shows no need of compulsory
education in the State of Delaware.

The Market.


The stock market has scored a
remarkable advance.
The professional element in
Wall street have persistently
talked reaction; have held few
stocks, and made little money.
They desire decline.
A healthy reaction is to be de-
sired. but if you believe the re-
ports Of fine crops in this country
and of shortage abroad; If you are
of the opinion that liquidation
has run its course, and that gen.
eral conditions are favorable to re-
vival of trade, you will buy good
securities when they are dull or
upon slight reactions and realize
handsome profits before the end Of
the year
Early frost in the corn or cotton
belt would iniure our crops, but the
statistical position IS such that a
decrease in expected yield would
be more than Offset by higher
prices.
War would be disastrous, but
the administration is in the hands
Of business men, and in our opin-
ion there will be no war.
London shows an inclination
to buy our securities.
The tone of London papers to-
wards Americans IS changing for
the better.
Fair crops, fair prices, enormous
increase in railroad earnings and
easy money must result in higher
markets.
