As illustrated, the material is all-over

bly, in center back. Cashmere, nua's
Yelling crcpe-Ie-chine, and all the Liberty
silks and satins arc peculiarly good, and
lace Of all sorts is admirable as the Illus
tration shows. The scalloped edges are

can be flushed either with soft frills, as
suggested, or with pipings or miliner's

strations of sympathy Abroad as

London, Sept 16.-M. De, Blowitz.
the Paris correspondent of The Times.
says: III
Il learn that Captain Dreyfus will
shortly withdraw his appeal for a res
vision of the Rennes trial, which will
leave the ground clear for the govern
ment to take immediate steps to par
don him. This pardon will not annul
the civil and military consequences of
the verdict, and he will, therefore. no
longer belong to the army. There is
nothing, however, to prevent him from
applying to the court of cessation to
Quash the Rennes trial whenever the
new fact required by law is produced.
when liberated he will settle in tbs
south of France. as the members OF
his family do not wish to expose him
to such demonstrations Of sympathy
abroad as might be used against him
by his adversaries at home"
1t is asserted on high authority that
the premier, M. Waldeck-Rousseau.
has promised definitely to propose a
pardon for Dreyfus at next Tuesdays

BURGLARS
AT THE HOOK.
Lights Are Out and Officers
Are No More, Hence
The Reign of Terror.

The town of Marcus Iloo!', s
miles from this city, Oh the phila-
deIphia pike, is proving veritabIe
IIlyslum tor thieves and burglars,
both amateur and professional.
Scarcely night passes that there
isnot burglary i'll one part of the
town or another, and if the at
tempts are taken into considera
tion the average would be more
than one night.
Two reasons operate to encour-
age this epidemic CT crime; first the
entire absence Of any other light
at night than that afforded by the
moon or stars, when the weather is
favorable; and, second, the fact that
the single minion Of the law who
acted as conservator OF the public
peace has been laid off, and mis-
successor has not yet been ap-
pointed.
Hence crime runs riot, and the
burglars are as a rule content
only with cash, troubling them
out selve svery little with little with
property. Early yesterday morn
ing Harry Richardson heard some
one attempting to enter his house
and, hastily seizins his gun, he
opened his shutters and took a
shot at two men in his front yard.
They hastily decamped, but there
was none to follow.
A conflict in Councils is at the
bottom of this strange state of af-
fairs. The mater Of lighting and
policing the borough has not COM
mended itself to all alike. A ma
jority cf the Councilmen awarded
the lighting contract to one COM
pany. This award was promptly
vetoed by the Burgess and since
then the town has been nightly
wrapped in Cimmcrian darkness.
With the friendly darkness has
come All eruption OF burglars, sneak
thieves. window workers and a
whole raft Of the lisht-nngered,
casy-ccnscienced fraternity.
