BOLD BURGLAR
Attempted to Enter Residence at

Athens, June 1S.-(Special.) )-An attempt at burglary caused considerable excitement in this place last night During yesterday a wearing a hard face and pretending to be peddling an article to hold chair ta- bles and picture frames. visited many homes in the town and was quite talkative. Last night at g o'clock number of ladies sitting in the hall of one of the homes that he had visited during the day, heard some one step upon the front porch and walk to the door. The bell not ringing one of the ladies went to the door to see what was wanted, and the visitor left the porch hur- riedly.
 In a few moments the rear door of the hall was noticed to be slowly opening and the ladies made a rush for that part of the house and succeeded in shutting the door, and by a united effort they held the man on the outside while one of the ladies went to the telephone and called up some gen. tlemen in town, but before they could reach the home the man had departed, and though a dilgent search was made during the most part of the night nothing, could be found of the fellow It was the same man that had been selling his chair tidy holders during the day.

MIDNIGHT FLAMES
 QUICKLY STOPPED
Stock of I. V. Boardman & Co.
 Badly Damaged.
ORIGIN OF FIRE UNKNOWN
Stock Valued at $22, ,ooo With $12;Ooo Insurance-Extent of Damage Not Yet Ascertained-Fir De-
 partment's Good Work

The stock of carpets, mattings and drap- cries of T. V. Boardman and Company, at 1904 Second avenue, was damaged by fire and water last night, but the extent of the damage cannot be ascertained until an in- ventory is taken. The fire started on the stairway leading from the ground floor to the second and had gained considerable headway when the department arrived The flames, however, were easily and quickly extinguished by the chemical en- zine without the use of much water.
 The fire seems to have originated some where near the foot of the stairway and spread rapidly, having climbed to the sec ond floor before the engine and hose wag- ons could arrive. How it started is un- known T. V. Boardman, the proprietor. stated that it was customary for some of the employees to work every night, but as he had been away since early in the even ing he could not say how long they worked last night. He said he was passing in front of the store and saw some one knocking at the door, and looking, he saw flames leaping up the stairway. He inn mediately gave the alarm. He said he could not account for the fire in any other way than that it had probably been started by the electric wires which are connected with the machinery used in the carpet and upholstering department These wires pass near the stairway.
 Only a small portion of the stock was damaged by fire, and as but a small amount of water was thrown into the building it is believed the damage will not exceed the amount of the insurance, if it equals it. Chief Mullin stated that but little water was used, and that the damage was not very great from either fire or water.
 MT. Boardman stated that he carried a stock that would invoice about 900, and that on this S12,OoO insurance was carried
 The building, which is two stories high, was damaged but little.

 THE RESURRECTION OF DAVID B. HILL Much Interest Concerning His Future Course. HIS PLANS WORK WELL With New York at His Back it is Thought That He Will be Re- cognized in the Party
 Councils
HIS PLANS WORK WELL

Washington, June 1S.-(SpeciaL) )-Much interest has been aroused in Washington by the re-enterance of David Bennett Hill into national politics. When Hill retired from the Senate, and after he refused to enter the campaign of 1896 for MT. Bryan, the prophets had it that MT. Hill was po- litically dead. They did not know the po- litical vitality of the New Yorker. They did not appreciate his unceasing activity, his capacity as an organizer or his hold on the Democracy of New York. Ever since 1896 MT. Hill has been planning to become a potent political factor again. He has or ganized quietly and carefully and is now practically the leader of the New York State Democracy. The people of the Dem ocratic party in his State are quite willing to forgive his refusal to accept the Chicago platform because they really never had any sympathy with it, most of them accepting it rather than be regarded as irregular.
 Of course MT Hill will not be able to make any impression the Democratic platform in Kansas City any more than he was on the platform in 1896 at Chicago. But this year he is standing in line with his party and will accept the decisions at
 
 there made. Naturally he will have many enemies in the Democratic ranks, but this year the Democrats are not apt to make war on those who stand with them, even if they do not agree entirely with the partys expressed views.
 With New York at his back. MT. Hill must be considered in Democratic councils whether MT. Bryan be elected or not. If MT. Bryan is>elected MT. Hill will be one of his administrators useful supporters. If MT. Bryan is defeated MT. Hill will join with others in the effort to reorganize the Democratic party for the fight of 1904. In the latter event he may be expected to as- pire to the Presidency himself. But be- fore that those who have watched develop ments in New York will not be surprised to see MT Hill nominated for Governor this autumn the strongest and most available candidate, the man who can carry New York this year if any Demo- crat can.

Not Flattered by Their Visit

Count Tolstois keenness is shown by his way of dealing with crowds of visitors who persecute hinn from day to day, says the New York Tribune. Many of these, of course, come from our own country. One day Lyoff Nikoaevitch was informed that two American women wished to see him, and that they had come to Moscow for that special purpose. He received them and entered into conversation. The Amer jeans announced with much aplomb that they had performed something in the na- ture of feat-namely, they had made a tour of the globe, having set out from diff ferent points in America, with the agree ment that they were to meet in Moscow to "the great writer of the Russian land" And behold they had accom- plished the aim they had in view and were content that they had carried out their mission. He smiled and said:
 But I think you might have made a better use of your time"
 One of the Americans eXclaimed:
 ''I was convinced that Leo Tolstoi would infallibly say something of that sort"
 And, overhowing with satisfaction, the grateful visitors took their leave of l.. N. TolStoi.

SHORT STORIES
 OF THE DAY
One Word He Had Not Learned

The Duke of Cambridge and his friends have many stories to tell of his recent stay in Rome, relates the London Chronicle One of his experiences is especially characteris- tic of all the parties concerned. On the oc- casion of a visit to the Vatican the Duke, hearing from friend that it was proper to talk Latin there, rather nervously brushed up a few phrases and passwords. The Vatican, on its part hearing that the Duke spoke only English, was equally punctili- ous. All guards who could speak English were ordered to the front. The chamber lains of English nationality or speech were required to attend and the Pope himself practiced the English sentences he had learned from MT. Neld, an English resident in Brussels, fifty years ago, birding him. self on the vernacular of his Seat down."
 The gallant Duke, when he arrived at the outer portals of the Vatican, was ad- dressed by guard, who said: This way, Your Royal Highness.'
 The Duke started with relief-he was rid, for moment, of his Latin. The same ex- perience met him at each turn, and in the anterooms it was repeated. Reaching at last the doors of the Pope's private apart ments, the Duke was met by a monsignor whose mother was English and whose own accent is native, as he offered to take His Royal Highness hat. Well, I'm something or other,' blurted out the astounded visitor; but it was a word the Pope did not remember to have learned from MT. Neld.

 "Yes son." said the laziest man in the western hemisphere. "Just gimme a match off that table there, will you2" ee
 The boy handed the man on the couch match and waited. The man relighted his cigar and smoked on.

 Then the boy went out grinning
