MISCELLANEOUS
SOCIETY BURGLARS.

The society burglar has been a feature
CT life in Scranton for nearly two years.
society has not yet identified him and
an augmented police force and private
detectives specially employed have alike
1a1led to capture him.
The society burglar devotes his talents
TO roElbing the wealthy. 1t is supposed
mat he is a young man whose income
is not sufficient to keep up appearances
ara that he has no scruple about TAX
Ing the property of others. He shows
great familiarity with the homes and
habits CT those he robs and takes moth
Ing but ready money and jewelry. Other
small articles Of value are left und.s-
tulioed. That the thefts are n It the work
CT a professional of the ordinary type
is also evident from the fact that zone
OF the stolen property has ever been re-
covered. How the thief disposes OF his
plumber is as much a mystery as his
own identity.
The first of these robberies took place
a year ago when the residence of Mrs.
VIM. Matthews, on Olive street, was en-
tered and cash and jewels to the value
of thousands of dollars We're stolen.
iamon necklaces, rings, watches, pins
and all manner of trinkets were gath
cred up with neatness and dispatch. The
family vas at dinner at the time and
heard footsteps in the hallway. These
were credited to the servants and moth
ing was thought of the matter until the
discovery of the robbery was made.
Other robberies followed in rapid sue
cession. The residence of Colonel H. NJ.
Boies was among those entered, and
hundreds OF dollars worth of jewels
were taken from the dressing table of
Miss Ethel Boies.
The whole city discussed the remark
able robbery. The excitement subsidized,
ana then, while the watckmen were
prowling behind shruIbbery and under
trees, the porch thief visited the resi-
dence of ex-Congressman j. A. Scranton
a millionaire. "A valuable casket, with
its contents, belonging to Mrs. d. L.
Tate, wife of Captain Tate, now serving
in the Philippines, was taken. All the
captains jeweled military medals were
stolen with the other jewels, and no trace
OF their whereabouts has ever been dis
covered.
For some time the secret that the rob-
berries were evidently the work of some
one lin society" was faithfully kept. and
then the gossips got in their evil work.
Silence ceased to be a virtue when the
locker-rooms of the Country club were
rihed a month ago. 1t was on the day
of the great golf tournament and Harry
Vardon, the champion golf player of the
world, was giving an exhibition contest.
ALL society hocked to the inks that day,
and it was while watching the contests
the thief went through the wraps and
ritied their contents of 5000 in money and
several gold watches and chains. The
price of admission to the grounds had
been purposely raised to bar the pres.
ence of the common herd, and none but
the elect themselves had access to the
lo~ckef-rooahs that day.-Scranton (Penn.)

in domestic way All knit underwear is
imported, and the share failing to the Uni
ted States is very small. In 1886 the GUS
toms valuation of the imports from our
country was 1863 (this being an expert
mental orderl; in 1897, it fell to $3.50; IN
1898 to SAL; and there was no increase IN
1899. The origin of imports is found IN the
following statistics from official sourees)
for 1898, this year being fair average
The statement covers all kinds of knit uu-
derwear, sweaters, footwear for both
sexes, Of wool, cotton, silk, and mixtures
The values are thus fixed by the customs,
and are on the Uruguayan basis: Germany,
$t60, ,292; France, $51, 1856; England, $59,5SS.
Importers tell me that the low price
of the German goods, especially OF cot
ton footwear, has won the market, the
importations in the line specified being
S125. $3.50. 1t should be said that the
German manufacturer has studied The
wants of the market and met them in
all possible ways. especially in price.
In my opinion, there is at present NJ
promising market in Uruguay fer Uni
ted States knitting machinery or knit
goods. The duties are AZ IL per cent
on n Tarying valuation. 1t may seem
strange that such great wool produc-
ing country exporting $4,000 to S0,CoG
bales of wool of 1000 pounds each a
year-should not manufacture to supply
It's own needs; but perhaps the high
price OF fuel, all of which is imported
from Wales or the United States, ani
costs an average of 50 per ton in trent
of the boiler may account for this

Girl


TRENTON, y. J., Sept 18.-In a batch
OF seven tramps arrested Sunday after
noon by Railroad Detective FrawIey. of
the Pennsylvania Railroad. was Mary Rob-
inson, a seventeen-y -year-old girl OF PhiIa-
deli hia. The girls identity was not dis
covered until she was arraigned before
Justice Humphreys yesterday. 1t was
the natty shirt waist that led to the dis
closure of the girls sex
When arrested she was chained to the
other six tramps in the roundup and
taken to the county Jail to await an ex-
animation She had red hair, and was fair
skinned. but Detective FrawIey simply
thought that he had picked up a juvenile
recruit TO the army of tramps In a
leather belt about her waist was big re-
yolVeT.
When it became known that she was a
girl the youthful tramp stated that she
was a Philadeiphian, and had started out
on lark as tramp. She exhibited a
small roll of money and agreed to pay her
way back TO Philadelphia If released
Frawley accompanied her to the railway
station, where a ticket for the Quaker
City was purchased, and the girl attired

SURGERY FOR a DEGENERATE.
An Operation 10 Cure Boy of
Yicious Habits

OAKLAND. Cal. Sept. 1S.-Harry
Knox the ten-year- son of Mr. and
Mrs. W. C. Knox. lies on a cot in the
surgical ward at the Alameda County
Hospital. the subject of one of the
most remarkable operations ever re-
corded in the history of medical science.
To relieve this boy from a condition
which has developed all the evidences OF
complete moral degeneracy, SUI gicaI
skill has been invoked.
Several years ago the lad was struck
on the head with an ak falling from a
building. Scientific treatment has bee n
of no avail to check the steady degen-
Grafton of his mind. evidenced by s
acts of extreme cruelty and his wanton
theftS and destructive habits. His play
mates on many occasions barely escaped
murder or torture at his hands. Al
though of tender years the chld was
absolutely beyond parental control
His pernicious habits developed imme-
diately after the injury TO his head. Last
Tuesday the boy was sent to SueT n
tendent Clark, at the county hospi al.
It was decided that there might be a
serious pressure upon some brain ira tt.
A scar on the hair line above the right
eye marked where the ak had inflicted
injury.
DR.. CiE<k decided to treph me the skull.
This was done a day or two ago. Pres -,
sure ON the brain was discovered and
with this removed the surgeons in
charge CT the case look for a c-Lhpl etc
moral change in the boy.

was found at half-past 6. with both legs
tied together above the knees his hat
and all his clothing on. and his shoes
missing, alongside Atlantic Avenue, a
principal street OF the Sixth ward
The soles Of his stockings were clean

boy was cold and rigid, showing taat
death must have occurred some hours
previous 10 the discovery. He boarded
within 100 feet OF where he was found
yet not a soul of the score of people in
his boarding house claims to know any
thing about his death
ReibeT was about eighteen years old
and had a reputation for sobriety ami
did not have an enemy N the world
body. but the doctors say that his death
could have occurred either from a blow
with sandbag or a fall. The former is
the plausible theory OF the police, for
they cannot understand If he had fallen
what became OF his shoes, and how it
came that his legs were tied.
