Up to the time of Cleveland's
election it was a popular super
stition with politicians that no
candidate whose name began with
the letter G could be elected to
the presidency. The idea arose
from the fact that no man whose
surname presented this peculiari-
ty, no matter how strong he was
with the people, had ever been
successful at the polls. There
were two Clintons. George and
Dewitt, William Il. Crawford,

BURGLARY AT DALLAS.
Cracksmen Make OF with About 5000
Worth q SSwap,,,


Wilkes Barre. June 30.--The home of
John Hallock, at Dallas, was entered
by burglars at an early hour this
morning, and a gold watch, $50 in
money and a lot of silverware were
carried off. Mr.. Hallock is a CONNER
cial traveller and is away from home
great deal, though he was home
last night. He is unable to say at
what time the house was entered but
says that this morning when Mrs. Hal
lock arose she asked him where he
placed his vest and trousers. He re-
piled that he had hung them on the
footboard of the bed as usual but on
looking the garments were not there.
A search was then made and the
trousers and vest were found lying
on the stairs leading to the ground
floor. The money and watch were
missing and a subsequent investiga-
tion revealed that lot of silverware,
valued at Sl5C, had also disappeared,
though several pieces of plated ware
of considerable less value We're found
In their customary places. From their
position Mrs. Hallock says they were
doubtless handled by the burglars who
found they were plated 1t was found
also that the visitors had effected an
entrance through a rear door which
they had forced open.
In the street in front of the house
the tracks of a couple of bicycles were
found early this morning and those
most interested advance the theory
that the burglars arrived and took
their departure on wheels
