POLITICAL BURGLARS.
London Tit-Bit.

London Tit-Bit.
Quite recently a countess who had been
despoiled of her jewel case, containing
diamonds to the extent Of &o,OOO, re-
with the following:
So sweet, so sweet, the diamonds IN their
So sweet the pearls oh, Countess b;
So blithe and gay I'll live upon their
From pub to pub I'll drink the health
Of thee.
A thief who broke into a nobleman's
mansion near Maidenhead and stole a
quantity Of silver plate, besides drinking
a bottle of port wine, left, with char1ta-
BILE effrontery, a rhyme, written in chalk
on the dining table, which ran:
Your silver makes me jump for Joy,
But JOY soon turns to sorrow;
Your port is bad, methinks that I
Shall feel pain tomorrow.
Not long since a burglar who ransack-
ed the house of a magistrate, while the
inmates were asleep, composed the fol-
lowing little rhyme:
So snug and peaceful in your Chaplain
While you're asleep, I've seeked to roam.
Good-by, my lord, 1 may not tarry,
So now no more from Burglar Harry.
It seems strange that in the dead Of
night a burglar should draw picture,
but not long since a man who robbed
the house of a prominent pro-Boer drew
a by no means badly executed sketch OF
| his victim, below which he added:
stop the war! Stop the warl' is your
persistent cry,
Your politics are shocking, they make
me pipe my eye.
You may stop the war. you may stop
your chat,
But you can't stop me, though I've got
your hat
Some months ago convict, who struck
his gaoler insensible and then escaped
robbed a house of a suit Of clothes, q
hat, and pair Of boots, and left his
| prison dress hanging up on the hat rack
In the hall, with facetious message
| attached to 1t, which ran:
Although good name 1 once did lose,
I step in yours, a good mans shoes;
| My character is bad, I know tbs true
! But I leave my clothes, as they may
fit you.

basis of opposing a well defined recom-

out any particular impelling motive short

the appropriation.
Democratic defeat in this community IN
the past eight years has come mainly
from party instability and from the un-
willingness Of individuals in the party to
subordinate their individual opinions or
interests to the general well being. If
we are to have g. renewal of that spirit
it Is just as well that those who set the
example in tho council should be made
to understand that they will no more be
able to avoid their responsibility for their
conduct than others have been able In
the past who have done in like situa-
ton what they have shown their readi-
ness to do on at least two separate oc-
cesions.

THE END IN CUBA.

Some time ago the announcement was
made that the American troops would be
wholly withdrawn from Cuba in a period
Of nine months. The announcement was
perhaps in some measure the outcome of
the demands Of the pending presidential
which the American people regard as
worthy of serious consideration.
Giving the administration credit for the
most laudable purposes, and accepting as
beyond all reasonable question the inten-
ton of the administration to follow out
It's announced policy of turning over con-
troll of Cuban affairs to the Cuban people
at the earliest practicable moment, the
time has now come when the time should
be clearly specified when the Cubans
shall be entrusted with the control Of
their own political concerns.
In a recent interview between Gen
Wood and the secretary of war it is said
that it was decided to allow 5000 Ameri-
can soldiers to remain in Cuba until the
organization of civil government was
completed. This necessitates the with
drawal of one Of the remaining regiments.
and is declared to have been decided on
in view Of the holding of the Cuban con-
| stitutional convention in the early fall
After the constitutional convention has
been held and the framework Of the flu
ture government of Cuba has been de-
cided on there can be no good reason
for the further presence of American SOL
diery on the island. The presence Of our
troops In Cuba Is due to the desire to
impress the Cubans with the conviction
that we are still morally responsible for
the maintenance of order on the island.
This at least is the assurance which is
given to the country at brief intervals,
and it is clearly expressive of the ma
tional desire.
The most absolute peace prevails in
Cuba. The work done by Americans
thus far is worthy of the most unreserved
approval 1t is an object lesson given to
the world of which the American people

NEW YORK. July 1i.-Lewis G. Tewks-
bury. the banker and broker of 81 Bead
way, is still out of sight and the list of h S
creditors appears to lengthen. Estimates of
the amount have jumped from 100000 to
s1,ee0,000. but definite data on which -
base such estimates are lacking.
The vanished financier is a very hand
some man of thirty Eight years, with dis
tinguished bearing and a taste for gooi-
looking women as assistants in all his
financial speculations. He had several in
his employ, not as clerks or stenograpaers
but as managers and drummers Up OF bust
ness. In his Broadway Office they did no,
appear in managerial capacity, nor die
they at little branch on East Elevea:f
Street. 1t was in the Tenderloin that nt
teted their drawing power financially.
His experiment began on May 1 at the
Sturtevant House, where he rented two
rooms on one of the upper floors and iltro-
duced q nne looking woman as his mara
ger. He said she was Mrs. 4. c. Uscaer
and would be the head Of the Office. Dasi-
ness was good. but about six weeks ago
Mrs. fischer disappeared from the Office. In
her stead appeared Mrs S. H. Hi:ch:ock
as the office manager. Mrs. Hitchcock is
described as also very handsome and up-tO-
date. There also appeared in the ofiice at
this time Miss Bacon. again said to be eN-
tremely Eood-lool.ing and possibly half the
age Of Mrs. Hitchcock.
Things ran along until Friday last. when
the property of Tewksbury at 80
Broadway was attached on a writ
sworn out by W. Browning Johnson. ScEre-
how Mrs. Hitchcock heard of this very
soon and she straightway disappeared OFF
GERS from Sheriff Greli's staff were in charge
Of Tewksbury's main Establishment and lis
Eleventh Street branch, but none was at
the sturtevart House place. There was
not anything to collect there. nor. for that
matter. at the other two places.
At the Office of B. Gerson Oppenheim,
2e6 Broadway. number of persons aho
said they we're financially interested in
Tewksbury gathered during the morning.
Mr.. Oppenheim talked with them. but il
he learned anything definite he did not
disclose 1t. From what he gathered. now
ever, he said that he was inclined TO in
crease his estimates of Tewksbury's LA
bilities. On Friday he put them at
$4o0, GOO. Today he thought they might
reach 81, ,090, ,006. He would not say who
the sufferers were with whom he had
talked, nor the amounts which they said
they had lost. He said that neither he
nor his client. Mr. Johnson, had heard
anything further of Tewksbury's where
abouts.
Concerning Tewksbury's liabilities, Law
yer Johnson, his attorney. takes a COM
paratively optimistic view. He has rot
examined the bankers books, but he has
satisfied himself that 100000 will cover
the shortage.
