their homes, at midnight, a woman burg
lar, who is handsome. of pleasing person
al appearance. and possessed of enough
determination to pull revolver when dis
covered, is new experience to the society
leaders OF this city, and as a result they
are enjoying all kinds of new thrills
For the last week this woman has been
operating in various portions of the city,
picking for her victims the women who
have jewels in plenty and gowns that are
rich and rare
Up to the present time the homes OF the
poor have not been visited. and the i'm
preston is gaining ground that the female
burglar is "a woman who has made a care

manner. this midnight marauder command
ed the mistress of the house TO step aside
even as she commanded Mrs John Farm
ham to step aside a few days ago and al
low her to pass. Inasmuch as the bur-
glar pulled from her corsage a silver
mounted revolver as she gave the COM
mand, the frightened woman obeyed and
the intruder was again enabled TO make her
escape with valuable plumber
Il was awakened by a slight noise at
my jewel case" said Miss French yester-
day, ''and when L opened my eyes | saw

was that it was my maid, but on calling
to her she stepped quickly to the side of

man drew a revolver from somewhere in
her dress. pointed it at my head. and COM

THE SENATE FORECAST.
Mr.. Allison to Call Up the District
Appropriation bill Today

The Senate will convene at 9:45 O'Clock
this morning in order to make up for the
loss of time required by the John Mar
shall celebration TO be held in the hall
of the House of Representatives and
which will be attended by the Senate in
a body.
At the close of morning business, Mr..
Bacon will call up his resolution as to
the right of the Senate to examine any
public document in the files of the Gov
erpment departments. and will speak at
length on the subject. scoring the Ad
ministraticn for its refusal to produce
information needed on many matters.
After Mr.. Bacon's speech. Mr. Allison
will call up the District of Columbia APP
preparation bill and will move for its
immediate consideration. AS Mr. Frye has
already given notice that he will allow
no appropriation bill to be discussed uutil
the Ship Subsidy measure is out of the
way, the vote on the question of taking
up the bill will decide whether all legis-
lation is to be blocked. Mr.. Allison has
secured enough Republican votes TO carry
through this programme by the aid of the
Democrats.
MIR. Allison Intends to call all of the
appropriation bills up one after the other,
thus displacing the Subsidy bill by ma
jority vote. The Nicaragua Canal bill still
remains as the special order" on the
calendar, but there seems to be no dis
position to take IL up.
On February 9. Mr.. Penrose will offer
eulogies on the death of the late Repre-
sentative Harmer of Pennsylvania. On
February 16. Mr.. Kenney Will call up the
House resolutions on the death of the
late Representative Hoffecker, of Della
ware. and will offer eulogies.
The Senate Naval Affairs Committee has
practically completed the Naval Appro-
priation bill, and will report it to the
Senate probably after its meeting TO-
morrow The committee voted against
the purchase of additional Holland sub
marine boats. The programme for new
battleslips adopted by the House will be
retained as will also the increase in the
enlisted force of the navy.

WAR ON SLOT MACHINES.
Mount Holly, n. J., Liquor SELLERS Re-
taiiate on Poker Games

MOUNT HOLLY. N j. Feb. 9.--Judge
Gaskill's recent announcement from the
bench that he would grant no licenses TO
hotel or saloon keepers who operated
nickel-in- the-slot machines in connection
with their business, has resulted in a
general crusade against these machines.
Chief of Police T. B. Denness Friday yis
tied every cigar store in town and aoI-
fed the proprietors thereof that the ma
chimes would have TO go.
Then there was a howl. All declared
that the machines were legitimate; tEat
they merely were used TO stimulate trade.
and that there was no profit in them aside
from that which they were ready 10 dem
onstrate to the satisfaction of any fair
minded person, but the chief was irexor-
able. He had his orders from the Prose-
cutor of the Pleas. and that was all there
was about it. The dealers thereupon
slowed their machines away and with one
accord blamed the hotel keepers for cauS-
ing all the trouble in the first place.
The cigar dealers, however. did not let
the matter rest there. They gave notice
that there were several poker joints in
town that would have to Join the pro-
cession. and the chief of police promised
that the rule should he enforced against
every one, and that hereafter no gam
bling will be tolerated, not even n game
of seyen-up for drinks, which has been
popular diversion for many years at some
of the hotels. The church fairs will be
taken in hand next, so It is said. and not
even a rattle for cake will be permitted
the outlook for the sporting
element is Enthusiastically sad. Il
