Professional thieves made q rich haul
Weed. 1852 Corcoran street northwest.
Mr.. Weed is u clerk in the Geological
Survey and has but recently taken pos
| session OF the house.
His furniture has been in storag, during
the summer, and it was only week ago
that painters, plumbers and decorators
were sent to the premises and fixed them
up in the best condition. At the same
time the furniture and decorations were
moved In. Among these articles were
two or three chiffoniers, each well filled
with silver rware and jewelry. Many
pieces were wedding presents 10 Mr. and
Mrs. Weed. and they priced them highly.
Last night Mr.. and Mrs. Weed attended
the meeting of the Geological Society. They
left home about 8 O'Clock. They have q
small servant girl who has been in the
family S. veIal years, and she, too, was
away frcfn home. When Mr.. Weed returned
home there We're evidences that someone
had been ransacking the house.
An az which belonged in the kitchen
was found in room on the second floor,
where the chiffoniers were located. Bu-
| reau drawers and trunks had been opened
and clothing and boxes were scattered
about on the floor.
Mrs. Weed hastily made an examina ron
and discovered that all ner presents were
| missing. Jewelry cases had been opened
hastily and their contents stolen. Three
| dozen solid silver spoons. and the same
number of knives and forks had been stolen.
Then there were any nufuhcr of souvenir
spoons Of consider a bic vaIue. Altogether
the articles stolen amounted to a total of
$3.50.
Mr.. Weed conducted an investig .t!ol
In the basement downstairs the front door
had been tahpered with. AS prccau-
ton against its being opened during the
operations CT the thieves a cake-turne
had been broken off and iainmed into
the lock. preventing its being unlocked
from the outside.
The robbers had gained entrance to the
premises through windox in the kitchen.
The fastening had been broken without
any apparent difficulty and the window
forced upward There was no indication
that the thieves disturbed anything except
in the room where they stole the tewelry.
Costly briC-a DTac was not molested, and
only small articles We're stolen.
Mr.. Weed returned about o O'Clock, and

was nssi gned on the case to-day.

American people upon those WHO feel
Obliged by custom to give them, and
Ourdensome tax upon the tire II all w;lo
are of any Consequence as moving forces
i'll the machine of Government.
| Why stould the President lie called upon
to monthly turn 'he White House into a
| sardine box OF struggling and squirruing
men and women, at st half OF whom
are uninvited. because it Is the custom II
| Presidents to hold receptions?
| The President must often drop public huSi-
ness, which is always pressing hard upon
| him, and which il often of the first Import
ance. to stand in line for hours having un-
| heard OF aInes announced TO him, md shake
| hands till his arm aches for the rest IL
| the night, in order that few officials, who
| cannot help attending, and the dodgers in
| countless boarding houses, may exercise
the right" of American citizens to see
| their President.
Next, Cabinet officers and their families
must be afflicted with the duty of
| providing free lunches for society at
| stated intervals during the season. Each
head Of great department must drop m
portant public business at the stroke Of The
clock and help do the .'honors'' at mis-
house. At these receptions the inroads OF
the uninvitsd are less in proportion than at
the Presidents. but they are always far
too numerous. Besides these formal re-
ceptions come the weekly Gays at the
Cabinet houses and those of Justices of the
Supreme Court, Of Senators, and Repre-
septatives. They all require the personal
attention of the movers Of the Government
machine. and the interruptions are seri-
GUS evil. Then their families must drive
around with pack OF cards returning
''calls'' and exha usting patience and life
force. The entire system is an imposition
upon the President, upon his Cabinet, and
and their families. and in short upon all
who are OF enough consequence in public
life to excite the curiosity of the crowds.
The whole thing. except the New Years
receptions. ought to be abolished, OF pretty
generally smashed down 70 small propor-
tons. There might be some methods less
obstructive to public business devised to
give those who are new TO Washington,
with the dudes, dudines, attaches of the ie-
cations, clerks, dwellers. in the boauling-
hCUses. and tansient visitors, occd sionay
chances to gaze ON public servants.

To the Interested Public:

DEFEA.T-We have lost our case.
for the courts have decided
against the legality of the Washington
Trading Stamp Co. Like a good General,
we take our defeat gracefully, though we
are sorry that this deprives us Of an oppor-
tunity to give you some useful and beau
tiful article in exchange for those stamps.
We bow to the inevitable and to the Wis
dom of the Judge who has so decided. But
we made you promise to redeem in cash
every green stamp issued by us. We are
now ready to live up to that promise:
Bring your stamps and books to us and
those that compare with the stamps we
have issued will receive cash for same
More we cannot do, and more you do not
expect of us.
Some merchants may find great
pleasure in the verdict rendered, because
they were not among the patrons of the
Washington Trading Stamp Co. We have
always been known as leaders in Wash
ington-alWays the first to share val
ues and profits with you whenever we
could. The Washington public has stood
by us nobly during our fight for their
rights and the many encouraging express
sions received from thousands Of our pa
irons, unsolicited, and our plucky endeavor
to have our rights satiated, stimulated
us to secure the very best legal talent to
fight our battles and yours.
