BURGLARS IN NEW HAVEN.
The Connecticut City Bothered Greatly
by Light Fingered Gentry.

NEW HAVEN, Nov. 2.-The resi-
dents of this city are greatly alarmed
over a series of burglaries that have
been going on for several weeks. The
burglars have broken into stores in the
principal streets and stolen money and
merchandise.
daring robbery was committed yes
terday in Broadway, when two strang-
ers went into the store of Vincenzo VAL
entano and held the proprietor up. One
of the men went to the cash drawer
and took the money, amounting to
about $50. The robbers then made their
escape.
A burglary committed at the New
Haven House. the leading hotel here,
has also been reported, but the de-
tectives are reticent about it, The sum-
mer cottage of United States Senator
Joseph r. Hawley, at WoodmOnt, was
among the houses visited by the bur-
glars. The cottage, which is unoccupi-
ed, was thoroughly ransacked, and the
carpets and furniture were carried
away. Some of the goods stolen from
Senator Hawley's house were recover
ed by the police in a pawnshop. The
police have failed thus far to catch any
of the burglars.

Cabinets Resignation Not Yet Accepte,

LIMA, Peru. via Galveston, Nov. s.
President Pierola has not yet accepted
the resignation of the cabinet, which
was rendered last week. on account of
vote of censure which the congress
proposed to pass upon the government
because of its failure to promulgate va
irious measures passed by the special
session of congress last year. The exact
reason for the presidents delay in ac-
ceptng the resignation has not yet been
made public, but it probably is due to
an accusation brought against the min
lister of finance of illegally disposing of
funds which, under the law, should
have been applied to the payment Of
public Indebtedness.

The Bell Phone, And Lake Charles.
Our friend, Mr.. D. R. Sharpe
manager of the Bell Phone here,
Informed The Progress that the
citizens of Lake Charles need not
fear that the phone rents will be
advanced. Seeing the clipping
from Lake Charles Echo and The
PROCESS comment thereon, Mr..
Sharpe says he began to investi-
gate and was informed that the
situation in Lake Charles was this:
before the Dees phone was estab-
lished the Bell charged, for Offices,
S4s, for residences, $500. When
the Dees began it fixed the rate at
$40 for offices and S24 for residen-
ces. Then the Bell went down to
SIS for offices and Sf2 for residen-
ces. And when the Dees company
quit, the Bell advanced to the rate
the other had charged: and Mr..
Sharpe informed The Progress that
manager in New Orleans assured
him that the rates would not be
advanced beyond this.
This seems to US fair and reason
able, and The Progress doesn't
feel that the Bell company has
done any wrong in the matter.

No More "Cascy."

De Wolf Hopper's followers-that is,
those who admire his clever comedy
methods and his resonant baritone
voice-rejoice in his courage. He has at
last rebelled against the demand of the
galleries to recite Casey at the Bat"
When the comedian began to give that
baseball epic on special occasions il was
enjoyable. One could hear it with pleas
ure twice. On the third or fourth hear
ing il became wearisome. The forty
seventh repetition was nuisance and
endangered the immortal souls OF many
people of profane inclinations in the
audience. Why the gods on high Olym-
pus wanted Casey" at every perform
ance was never understandable, still
less why Mr.. Hopper yielded to the
demand For years he has been plain
ly tired of it and never pretended to be
otherwise. At first he used to deliver
the mock heroic lines with evident gus
to. Latterly he ratified them off with
breathless rapidity. as IL in haste to
finish a disagreeable task. and il was
painfully evident to the better class of
theater goers who happen to be
among the audience that the gallery
gods. when they called for Casey" had
no real desire for it, and even out on
the Pacific coast, where it was thought
Casey" had never been heard Of, there
came a vociferous demand for the reci-
tation. Mr. Hopper's speeches between
the acts are much more enjoyable.
Old timers say that he is the legitimate
successor of Dundreary Sothern in that
respect. just as Sothern was the sue
cessor of John Brougham. It is high
time TO bury Casey not TO praise him
Requiescat in pace. in the confident
hope OF no glorious resurrection "El

our theater goers.
