MANY THEFTS OF FOOD.
The Police and Citizens in the First
Precinct Worried.

During the past week the police of the
First precinct have been constantly an
noyed at complaints made TO them OF va
rious petty thefts committed in their
territory. Every effort has been made to
locate the thief. but despite unrelentng
vigilance no clew has been obtained
toward revealing the thiefs identity. In
no instance has the thief stolen anything
but edibles and that the individual know s
where there are well-flled larders is eyi-
dent from the reported results of the noe
turnal excursions. Previous to last night
the thief has confined his stealings to such
things as bottled milk, bread. butter
cheese, cold meats, and cooked foods but
the latest invasion shows that CUISINE has
no particular charm for the thief. and
that unprepared food is equally as az
ceptable as that over which a cook has
had supervision.
During last night the thief visited tie
house of DR.. ]. Morgan Barber. Cf 9lS
E Street northwest, and as a result the
house of Barber was left without the es-
sentials for breakfast today.
The articles of food stolen from DR..
Barber. as enumerated by him to the po
lice. included one ham. three dressed
ducks fifteen pounds of stuffed sausage,
ten pounds of sausage meat, and two
pieces of breakfast bacon. Lieutenant
Amiss declares that the thief will be ap-
pretended if such a thing is possible.

MAKING WORK PLENTIFUL.
LnbOrers Deliberately Destroy Lake
Erie Canal Property.

ALBANY. y. Y. Jan. 19.-The superin-
tendent Of public works has been inform
ed that the grand jury of Oneida county
has brought in indictments against thir-
teen men accused of destroying State
property along the canals TO the value OF
$4,000. They are to have a speedy trial,
the punishment for the offence being seven
years imprisonment and fine to the
amount of the damage caused.
For three years past there has been a
systematic destruction Of the canal banks
in the vicinity of Forestport.
The purpose of the men in destroying
the canal feeder and banks was apparent
ly TO make work for themselves and others
in repairing the damage. The s62. ISL
break, after deducting the cost of material,
left nearly $4,000 for wages. The superin-
tendent says: There is no doubt in my
mind that the FOrestport gang is the worst
band of criminals in the State They will
stop at nothing from petty stealing to
murder The State has lost in three years
nearly $150,000 through the wanton de-
struction of its works along the canal An
example should be made of the rascals"

BICYCLES IN GERMANY.
Inferior Wheels Have Injured the
american Trade.

Acting Consul F. Monaghan. Of Chem
nitz. reports to the state Department u at
the exports Of bicycles from Germany
during the first nine months of the years
1897. 1898 and 1899 amounted TO $. .Gg1, -
732. S2.511.S52. and S2.579. IA. respectively.
The principal markets to which the biey-
cies were exported were Austria. Swi,zer-
land. Sweden, Denmark Russia. Holland,
England. Belgium. Norway. Italy. British
colonies. and South America. Mr. Mona
CHAN says:
The German exporters are satisfied
with the foreign bicycle trade when they
see that the exports from the United
States decreased from s5.473.000 for the
first eight months of 1895 TO 1891 600 in
the first eight months Of 1889 This mar
ket, the Germans say. We ourselves have
destroyed. In 1897 and the first months OF
1898. a great many cheap wheels were put
upon the foreign markets. regardless of fu-
ture business There were American
wheels sold in Germany for $2O2$ that
were dangerous TO ride. They looked well.
but that was all
Last year, Germany was a strong com
petitOr of England in the latters home
and colonial market. In the first nine
months Germany sent TO England II 762
bicycles; to Australia 2sS0. and TO British
East Indies. ASP. To meet this compe-
tition. the manufacturers of England COM
bined to reduce the price of their wheels.
Germans fear that next spring will see
large shipments Of American wheels to
this market
This market is still open TO a large
trade in American wheels if certain re-
quirements are complied with: the best
possible wheels for the least possible
price-not to exceed 250 markssd l mp.
price-nOt to exceed $3.50 at retail; all
broken parts to be replaced in the city IN
which the machine may be purchased; any
tire will answer, but the valves must be
like those in vogue here; the law requires
a good brake on each wheel. and no wheel
should be sent here without one"

New York, but the regulations Of the
Harvard athletic committee are against
allowing the team to compete on other
than college grounds. II is true that this
rule is broken in the case of the deciding
game between Harvard and Yale in base
ball but it must be remembered that this
comes after the closing of the college
year. while our games will be held while
recitations are still in progress. We might.
ii is true compete on the Columbia tack,

US would be to have the games held either

The water storage committee has met in almost daily session since its ap- polr,nent in September. Isn't it about time for a report? The simple fact cf the matter is that the committee might meet daily from now till dooma3ay and evolve absolutely nothing that is new.

Nature has 45'cated and partially com pieted reserNo.r having a capacity of S00,0o0 acre-fcet of water-sufIicient to irrigate all the lands in Cne valley for
 two years though net a drop of rain fell in that time. On the watershed contiguous to this vast basin CAa an nUal rain and snow fall is enough, seven years in ten, to fill this reservo.r at least Cncc in two years. Now all that is left for man to do is to fill up the gap of two or three hundred fegt that nature has left. Iris will c-tt Q million dollars, more or less. Would this expeILtur2 be a gcod businl s propozit.c1? Let us see. During the pas. year our farmers have raised two small crops of grass when they should have raised six large ones Suppose we have 100000 acres of alfalfa in the valley. Each acre. at the very low est Icltimate, would, with plenty of water, produce six tons. This would make total of 6OO,O0O tons, which. at SS per ton, would mean the vast sum of S4,S00,O00 This year we have produced less than twio-iftks of that amount, a1l the loss, aiJ5ribu:aole to nothing else t]2n tlAe drouth, would nJ5re than have the dam.
