The articles of silver lost by Mr. and Mrs.

four other teaspoons, one-half dozen forks,
two pie knives, jelly spoon, sugar tongs,
tray, bon-bon holder. soup ladle, gravy

hands of the police and Prof. Hoag has
offered reward of $40 for the apprehension
of the thief.

take as to the time, as the money was de-
posted there some months ago and sub
