he WORE A SLOUGH HAT
That's the Only Thing Strange
About Mr.. Herrdegen's Burglar.

A daring attempt to rob the residence
of Mr.. John Herrdegen, at at No. $50
Garfield avenue, was made about $3.50
yesterday morning. The burglar gained
access to the house by forcing the catch
on a rear basement window. The house
is supplied with burglar alarms. One
was attached to the window but failed
to work.
The burglar did not touch anything in
the basement, but made directly for the
stairs. On going UP the stairs he sprang
a burglar alarm, which went off, awak-
ening the members of the house.
Mr.. Herraegen jumped out of bed and
rushed for the stairs. He was just in
time to catch a glimpse of the intruder
as he disappeared through the basement
window. The only description Mr.. Herr
dagen could give was that the fellow
wore a SLOUGH hat. The members of the
family say nothing was stolen.
About a half hour later an attempt was
made, supposedly by the same man, to
gain access to the house next door in the
same manner. This house is also fitted
with burglar alarms which fortunately
worked, soaring the burglar off.
The police are investigating the case,
but up to the present time the burglar
has not been located.

LAFAYETTE CHORAL SOCIETY.
Cecilia Ladies Trio To Assist At
Concert May Is.

The st. Cecilia Ladies' Trio of New
York will be amongst the artists to as
sist the Lafayette Choral Society, in the
concert to be given on May 16, in the
LAFAYETTE M. E. Church. The ladies who
compose the trio are Miss Marion Walk
er. first sopranos; Miss Charlotte Walker,
second soprano, and Miss Marie Groebl,
alto. all artists of recognized standing,
both in musical circles and by the gem
eral public.
Miss Charlotte Walker has done much
concert, church and opera work in New
York, invariably with marked success.
There is a rumor that Brunnhild in
ssWalkuere" will be her next role, it be-
ing one for which she is peculiarly fitted
Her sister, Miss Marion Walker, has a
high soprano voice of charming quality,
carefully trained.
Miss Marie GroebI's reputation is not
confined to the United States, her per-
formance In opera in England and on
the Continent having won for her many
laurels. When Sullivan produced Ivan
hoe" in London, under his own direc-
ton, she was given the role of Ulrica.
The trio as a whole produces a beau
tiful effect. 1t is rarely that women's
voices blend so admirably and give forth
such rich. smooth volume.
For the coming concert Miss Sarah l..
Culver, the club director, has prepared
a programme which includes choruses,
glees and other interesting compositions.
Miss Culver is organist Of the Lafay-
cite M. E. Church and has in one way or
another been connected with all musical
enterprises in the Lafayette section OF
the city.

celery compound is by far the best sprng
remedy a Woodworking person can take"
Mrs. Osborn has always been dis
tinguished in society for the beauty of her
costumes. No one knows the opinions and
habits of women of ample means and OPP
~portunities better than she. She says
that her friends who always insist on
having the best, will have nothing to do
with any remedy but Paine's celery COM
pound. And this is not surprising when
one stops to consider the thousands of
letters that are constantly being received
by the proprietors of this great remedy,
and by ~wspap and medical journals,
as well as from men and women in every
walk of life. all telling one experience:
effected by it.
The best physicians openly endorse and
recommend Paine's celery compound, au-
thorizing the public use of their state
ments that Paine's celery compound, in
case after case, cures rheumatism and
kindred diseases. purifes the blood, regu-
lates the stomach, liver, bowels and kid
neys, and rejuvenates the fagged-out or
diseased nervous system when every
thing else fails.

An Unnamed Hero.

Lieutenant w. s.. Overton, of the Third
Artillery, U. S. A.. has written to his
father, w. S. Overflow, at Far Rockaway,
L. T., concerning the wound he received
in the battle of Marilao. He says that
a brass-covered Remington bullet hit him
in the thigh, tearing an ugly hole In
his leg. He was lugged nearly a mile
to a hospital on the back Of an English
subject. who was watching the battle.
Here is a feat of simple heroism which
deserves to be chronicled in letters of
gold. The pity is that the name of the
brave and generous E~nglishman Is not
given. For, certainly, it would have a
place in the grateful memory of every
American citizen.

The Weehawken loop of the Hudson
Boulevard seems to be in dangerof becom-
ing a waif, with no one to care for it.
The Boulevard Commissioners won't take
it, because they say it has not arrived
at that condition of completeness in
which it should blossom, before they as
sumed its guardianship. The Freeholders,
on the other hand, wash their hands en-
tfrely of the affair and say that the loop
is in proper condition and it is the duty
of the Commissioners to take charge of it
anyway. Neither Board will recede from
the position it has taken.
AS is usual in such controversies, the
public and the taxpayers are the suffer
ers. While these two bodies of public
servants are neglecting their plain duty
and manoeuvring to escape their just re-
sponsfbilities, the loop is being neglected
and allowed to run to mud and broken
stone, and it will not be long before its
condition will be as d%eplorable as hat OF
the main Boulevard.
The nature of this loop is such that 1t
demands constant attention. If the first
appearance of the need of repairs is not
responded to, it will not be long before
the defects grows into damages which will
require time and much none and ma
terial to overcome. For his the tax
payer must pay, while, owing to the de-
fects. the travelling public is either sub
jected to much inconvenience or deprived
entirely of the use and benefit of the
road.
This contest between these two boards
is a public scandal and some means
should be devised for putting an end to it
at once.
To one or other body certainly belongs
the duty of caring for the loop and which
that n is should be decided without de-
lay so that the road can be put in good
condition at once and the deterioration
now going on stopped.
If a resort to the courts is the only
method by which this matter can be
settled. the step should be taken without
further delay and the nonsensical contro-
yersy ended.

JAPANESE PERSEVERANCE.
How Prince Sanbro Came To Be a
Circus Performer.

The perseverance of the Japanese peo-
pie in all they undertake is without doubt
Sone of their most notable characteristics,
not excepting their remarkable claim for
distinction through the fact that they
have no less than nineteen different lang
uages within their own borders with
which a majority of the people are versed.
Especially is their perseverance notable
in regard to the amusement performers,
who are almost without exception trained
from infancy in the athletic arts and
who reach a state of proficiency seldom
seen among other peoples of the earth.
In this Oriental country, however, the
professional performers do not come from
the middle and lower classes as is the
case in the other old-world nations, but
the royalty itself INDUCES in juggling,
wrestling and acrobatic pleasures and is
often seen in public performances.
While on a visit to the Flowery Land,
Mr.. Peter Sells, general manager OF the
combined Adam Forepaugh and Sells
Brothers circuses, witnessed an exhlol-
ton of Prince Sanbro's famous experts,
and Immediately set about to secure the
troupe for an American tour. But the
Prince would not agree to leave his native

of the New World, as he thought. Here

ance triumphed over that of the Mikado's

The Colonel and the Captain--A
Great Team.

There Is no room for doubt that, on his
own plane. Sam Dickinson is one of the
shrewdest politicians in the State. The
way he knocked the wind out of the
ssTribune" and the reorganization element
at last evenings seance of the Repub-
iican County Committee was beautiful to
see. The doughty Colonel, as soon as the
ring was opened, jumped right into the
middle of it and proposed a set of reso-
buttons. providing for the reorganization
of the party and especially for its "puri-
hcation'' and for .harmony.'
The significance of the move will escape
no one. When Colonel Dickinson himself
takes the lead in reorganization and puri-
fcation, it means business. The party
will be ~reorganized. all the traitors. who
have been making trouble with their UNI
seemly clamor, will be weeded out, and
when the work is completed the harmony
will be so complete that not one dis
Eentient voice, not eventual of Hon. Tom
will be allowed to mar the chorus which
win sing the boss's praise.
Colonel Dickinson is a man of energy
and decision Of character. When he re-
solves upon a line of action, he loses no
time in carrying it out. The Colonel has
experience, too, and he knows how to go
about accomplishing his purposes. He
lost no time in beginning the work of
publication. His method was what is
POLITICALLY known as the grand bounce
The "3. b." may be accomplished in two
ways. The bouncee may be kicked out
this is brilliant-or he may be smoked
out-this is diplomatic. Not having the
votes to be brilliant, the Colonel adopted
Mouncey had 10 walk out of the Com
hmittee of his own accord, coughing and
sneezing and choking-very mad, in a
word, but without having any tangible
70 ~rievance on which TO base an open fight
against the party. Oh, yes, the Colonel
is sly, devilish sly.
captain JACK Granam is quite an lll-
portant figure in Colonel Dickinson's COM
bination. Whenever the Colonel wants
to divert attention from any of his own
doings he looses the ring in Captain Jacks
pose. Then the Captains antics draw a
crowd and distract the general attention
from the Colonel's le~gerdemain. The Cap
tain played his part in great style last
evening. His voice was loud and his
language was Of the rag-time order of
Rhetoric. The crowd gathered around to
hear him curse while Dickinson silently
pulled the strings in the front of the hall.
but it was a pity ED" Mitchell pulled
him off so soon. In a minutes or two he
would have smashed" Landrine in the
northeast optic, and we would hav had a
nice newspaper story. The next time, we
hope the bear leaders will let the Captain
have his own way.
1t is rumored that the bust of Lincoln,
which adorns the G.. 0. P. meeting room,
Is growing more and more emaciated
every day.
