house had been ransacked before the bur-
giar was discovered, but so far as is
known nothing was taken. Mrs. Cutler
who is Mrs. Caverly's mother, was awak-
ened by a noise in her room, and looking
about she saw an object which she thought
was dog. When she called the supposed
dog, which proved to be a man, the burglar
started toward the door as fast as he
could.
Mrs. Cutler got out of bed as quickly as
possible, turned on the lights, which lighted
the entire house, and started in pursuit of
the burglar. Her Son-in-law was aroused
by the cry for assistance, and he got in the
nall soon enough to get a glimpse of the
fleeing burglar. When the latter reached
the street he was Joined by a companion,

and Mr.. Caverly fired several shots at
them, but without disabling either of them.
The police were notified of the occur

an investigation of the case.
This afternoon complaint was received al
police headquarters that burglars had
visited the house of Joseph H. Hall. No.

same burglars visited both houses.

THE DISMISSAL OF MRS. ROBERTS,
1t Will Be Considered by the Senate

The Senate committee on civil service and
retrenchment will hold a meeting tomor-
row morning at 10 o'clock, when Mr.. AL
lens resolution providing that the Secre-
tary of the Interior be called on for all
charges against Mrs. NJ. A. Roberts, who
was removed from the pension office last
May, be sent to the Senate, will be consid-
cred.
There IS apt to be more disappointment
In regard to this matter on the part of Mrs
Roberts friends. When the resolution was
referred to the committee Mr.. Allen was
given to understand on the floor of the Sem
ate that the case would be investigated,
and on that statement he consented to let
the resolution be referred to the committee
instead of having it adopted by the SEN
ate, he at first insisted upon.
Under the resolution the committee Is not
given authority to carry on any investiga-
tion of the Roberts case. At the meeting
of the committee tomorrow morning the
matter will be fully considered and some
course of action will be decided on.
At IL o'clock the committee will con-
tinue the examination of witnesses, in con-
nection with its investigation into the
methods of the civil service Mr.. Proctor,
president of the civil service commission,
will go on the stand and will probably con-
ciude his testimony. There was no meet
ing of the committee today.

American Girl and Domestic Service,
Helen Watterson Moody in Scribners

No wonder the American girl who goes
out to service is as nearly extinct as the
buffalo! The American girl has the dis
advantage of brains. She sees things clear
ly, directly, without reference to tradition
or twaddle. She knows that domestic serv-
Ice, although the best paid, is the most un-
desirable work she can undertake, because
1t brings with it none of the human re-
wards that are better than money. Not one
of the considerations which impel girls to
choose shop work comes in to make her
work dignified and in conformity with the
laws of human nature. AS things are now
IL were a working girl, as am an Amer
lean, I would never go out to service:
never, never, never!
And neither would you, IL you were to
tell the honest truth.
