MERCHANT WEPT
When He Found His Intimate Friend
Burg1alrizing His Store.

Burg1arizing His Store.
White Plains IN " Cor. N. Y. Herald
The village of ArdsIey situated on the
New York and Putnam railroad, was
treated to q surprise this morning, when
it's residents awol1e toLlearn that Isaac
Lawrence, one Of the most esteemed res
idents Of the place, had been caught
robbing the grocery store Of his intimate
friend, Wesley W. Brown, at 8 o'clock
this morning.
Brown had been missing large quanti-
ties Of sugar, flour, potatoes, cigars,
candy, etc, for some weeks past Tile
thefts always took place after nlidn'Hnt,
and were supposed to be the work of the
same individual. A plan was devised to
catch him. Last night Brown, Deputy
Sheriff Travis and Constable Eaton were
on guard. Travis remained outside, while
the remaining two men hid behind one of
the counters in the store.
Lawrence passed along the street about
o'clock this morning, and, stepping I'D
to Browns store, inserted a key In the
lock- He opened the door, and, passing
In, locked it behind him. Wien inside
Lawrence drew a large bag from beneath
his costly overcoat and proceeded to bust
ness. He filed 1t with about a hundred
weight Of cigars, potatoes, -four, sugar,
tea and coffee.
AS he was about to place strap
around the top of the bag Brown drew a.
revolver and called to the burglar to hold
up his hands. The burglar, recognizing
his voice, exclaimed: Don't shoot,
'Wess.' It's me, Ike Lawrence

Brown actually cried when he learned
that the burglar who had for weeks been
stealing hundreds of dollars worth Of his
goods was his intimate fsiend, Isaac
Lawrence.
Lawrence was Ct enc time well to. do.

honest. He is fifty years old, and resides
with his mother in a pretty cottage in
the town. His mother is about eighty
years old, and her son, who is a bachelor
has been her main support for thirty
years She is grief stricken over his ar
rest.
Lawrence was taken to the county 1ail
today. He had more the appearance Of a
prosperous banker than a burglar. He
wept when giving his pedigree to the
jail keeper. Instead of being placed in

ANCIENT AND HONORABLE BUGS
COcl<roach and the Bedbug Were
the First Insects.
The Spectator.

In the very oldest fossil bearing rocks
no insects are found. The very Oldest
limestone, when as yet the insects had
not appeared, and it "fourished" in Can
ada. The first insect known to have ex-
listed, a creature Of such vast antiquity
rarvenu man can summon and offer to it,
was-a cockroach. This, the father of
all bIackbeetles, probably walked the
earth in solitary magnifcence when not
only kitchens, but even kitchen middens
were undreamed of, possibly millions of
years before Neolithie man had even a
last nights supper, for the cockroach is
of the period to enjoy. His discovery
established the fact that in the Silurian
period there were insects. though, as the
only piece of his remains found was
wing, there has been room for dispute as
to the exact species: Mr.. Goss, in his
preface to the second edition of his book
notes, says that what Is probably a still
older insect has been found in the
lower Silurian in Sweden. This was not
a cockroach, but apparently something
worse. If the Latin name, Protocimex
Silurius. be literally translated, it means
the original Silurian bug.

SHIPMENT OF METAL.

The rapid growth in the expectation of
metals and those of which metals form
a large proportion in value is illustrated
by some figures regarding our export
trade of the decade. Manufacturers of
brass, for instance, of which the exports
in 1890 amounted to 7,313, were in the
fiscal year 1900 $1866, 727 Agricultural
implements, including plows, cultivators,
mowers, reapers and other machinery of
this character amounted to only Is, 458
tons, valued at $500, 1892 while in the fiscal
year 1900 they amounted to 100, $50 tons,
valued at $3,124,S53 The bar iron ex-
portations in 1890 amounted to 2,OS7, 376
pounds, and in the fiscal year 1900 to 49,
457, 435 pounds. Wire expectations in 1890
amounted to 236, 500 pounds, the aver
age expectation for each month in 1900
being thus nearly equal to the annual
expectations in $780, In nails the ex-
portations in 1890 amounted in round
terms to 100000 pounds, and in 1900 to
n3, 862, 4d pounds. The total iron and
steel exports in 1890 amounted to $25, 542,-
208 and in the fiscal year 1900 amounted
to $121, SIS, 344, and in the calendar year
1900 will reach $14O 900 in value.
In copper the growth in expectations
has been equally striking, the total ex-
portation Of copper in the fiscal year 1890
being $2,349, 1872 in value, and in the fiscal
year 1860, $57 S51, 707, while in the calendar
year 1900 it seems likely to considerably
exceed $50, 600, 900.

GOOD REASON FOR IT.
THE Success and Popularity of the
New Catarrh Cure.

The Success and Popularity of the
New Catarrh Cure.
The remarkable success and popularity
Of the new catarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets, is largely because it not only
cures cataTrh, but because catarrh suf-
ferers who use these tablets know what
they are taking into their systems; no
secret is made of what they contain
They are COMPOSED of Hydrastfn. blood
root, guaiacol and red gum, are pleasant
TO the taste and being dissolved in the
mouth they take immediate effect upon
the mucous lining of the throat, nasal
passages and the whole respiratory tract
The cures that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
have accomplished in cid chronic cases
are little short of remarkable, and the
advantage Of knowing just what you arc
taking into your system is Of paramount
importance when it is remembered that
the cocaine or morphine habit has been
frequently contracted as the result of US
ing secret catarrh remedies, as so many
of Them are well known to contain these
injurious drugs.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets meet with the
approval and cordial support Of physt-
rians because their antiseptic character
renders them perfectly safe for the gem
eraI public to use and their composition
makes them q common sense cure for all
forms Of catarrhal trouble.
With nearly all advertised catarrh
cures 1t is a matter of guess work as TO
what you are taking into the stomach,
as the proprietors, while making all sorrs
Of claims as to what their medicines will
do, are very careful to keep it a close
secret as to what they really contain.
This is one reason why Stuarts Catarrh
Tablets have been so widely recommend
ed, because they are not only pleasant
and convenient to take, but the patient
also knows he is not putting into
his stomach anything Of an Injurious
character.
These tablets are sold by druggists ev-
erywhere in the United States and Can
ada at so cents for complete treatmaut.
and probably there is no better remedy
ever devised for the permanent cure Of
-catarrh whether located in the head.
