BURGLAR IN THE HOUSE.
Miss Slate Awoke to Find a Burglar
in Her Remembered to Keep Still,
But She Screamed and He EIad

u
But She Screamed and He Fled.
The house of George p. Slate on
Brattleboro street was entered by
some unknown person about 2 o'clock
sunday morning. Mr.. States daugh-
ter, Miss Charlotte Slate. was aroused
by slight noise in her room and also
by a flash of light. either from the
striking of a match or some sort of
lantern. Miss Slate, supposing the
person moving about to be her mother.
and not being alarmed, spoke, asking
what was wanted. Receiving no an
swer she spoke again, when her hands
were seized, and she was told to
hush and not cry out. Realizing
now that she was in the hands of a
housebreaker she screamed loudly for
help, and the intruder became fright
ened and escaped, before her father,
VINO had been awakened by her cries,
could reach the room.
Miss Slate sleeps in a back chamber.
directly over her parents room. Upon
retiring she left a window open for
ventilation in the front room, but
CLOSED the blinds, and here. after
clinDlng the corner pizza post, the
mlscreant entered. In his hasty exit
ne tipped over the water pitcher in
Miss States room, spilling the water
upon the carpet. He shut the door.
so that she did not get out as quickly
as she would otherwise have
done, but she was quick enough to see
the feet of a man as he went through
the front window, and heard him dis
tinctly as he jumped from the piazza.
Just at this time her father reached
her and said to her she had been
dreaming, or had had the nightmare.
Her reply was Il wish | could think
so, papa" The post, soiled and black
ened by boots, the print of fingers in
the dust on the edge of the piazza
roof, the footprints on the roof and
also in the soft earth where the in
truder jumped in making his escape,
showed conclusively, however, that
she was not mistaken.
NO clue is left as to the identity of
the person further than that he had
a small-sized foot, and he would seem
TO be some one who was familiar with
the house, although that, of course. is
conjecture. The motive probably was
robbery but nothing was secured.
Miss States watch and jewelry were
on the dressing case in the room.
The strong odor of tobacco and paint,
either from the piazza or some of the
newly painted houses, was left on
her hands.
Miss Slate is a teacher in the Brat
tleboro Grammar school and is one
of our most highly esteemed and re
spected young ladies', and naturally
every one was interested and more or
less excited over the occurrence. All
unite in the wish that the intruder
might be caught

Two Ball Games MAY 30.

Two games of base ball have been
arranged for May Goth, the first at
10 o'clock and the second at o'clock
between the Hinsdale team and the
Dartmouth Reds, an organization
composed of the best players in Dart
mouth college who are not on the
varsity nine. The Reds have been
here the past two seasons and have
won once, so that this, the rubber
game, will be unusually interesting.

days sports will be a tug of war be

vital consequence to the welfare Of
NJ
Tbs Present Status Of our Game Interests.

The Journal publishes elsewhere in
this issue. an interview with Chairman
Carleton of the fish and game COM
mission relative to the condition oh
tanning this month in the game sec-
tons OF our State. Notwithstanding
the repeal Of the September law viii II
permitted a hunter. by taking out a
State license. to Kill one deer during
that month. Mr.. Carleton states that
there have been more parties in the
Maine woods the present month than
Moreover they have gone well sup
piled with firearms and poaching APP
pears to have run riot. The en-
missioncrs have evidence of the killing
of % rlcosc. and it is believed that
many times that number of deer have
already been slaughtered cut Of sea-
son.
The game interests of our Stat con-
stitute a very important factor in its
prosperity. They should be guarded
carefully at all times in i bread spi il
OF business sagacity and practical
end be put to the illegal killing OF
game that has run riot this season.
Men who cGcnd in these matters merit
no sympathy. For their own selfish
qualification they are perfectly willing
to destroy without sanction of law. the
game that great masses of law abid-
ing sportsmen should have the privi-
lege of hunting in open season.
The matter is one that certainly
calls for careful consideration.
The indications are that the usual
number of hunters will visit our State
this fall, but while there is chance
that more moose than usual will be
taken out the indications are that the
number of deer. as result of the
wholesale poaching that has been go
ing on. will fall off materially.
Partridgcs. as result of the pro-
lection given them from market
hunters in recent years bid fair to be
unusually numerous this fall
Commissioner Carleton has devoted
muoh time to the investigation of the
existing conditions relative to our
game interests. and the results Of his
observa tons make very interesting
reading.

4 Proposed New Route for The Inter. Oceanic
Canal,

There appears to be disposition to
move cautiously in the matter of the
inter-oceanic canal. Recent develop
ments indicate that an entirely new
route may come up for investigation
end report. This is located some dis
tance east of the Panama route, en-
tircly within the United States of
Columbia and is said to have many
things to commend it. 1t has excellent
absolutely level waterway-shorter
than any other yet proposed-between
the two oceans. The very great ad-
vantaSes of good terminal harbors and
an absence of locks will readily be APP
parent. Engineers are united in the
opinion that this would be the ideal
route for a canal We're it not for one
great obstacle. This is a mountain of
rock standing about midway between
the two oceans which would involve
the construction of tunnel about
seven miles long, 200 feet in width and
100 feet high. Formerly this obstacle
was looked upon as insuperable; but
engineers now estimate that the work
could be done for about s6,000.000 a
mile. If this work We're accomplished
it would make possible an almost ideal
waterway. only 80 miles in length,
connecting the two oceans at tide
levels. 1t is believed that very
favorable terms could be made with
Columbia for United States construc-
ton and control and that Great
Britain would not be disposed to throw
any obstacles in the way Of the I'M
dcrtaking.
1t is thought that the matter will be
given very careful attention by Con-
gress before any definite action is
taken looking to the construction Of
the big canal.

There is point for Bowdoin College
to remember in the opening paragraph
of Senator Hoar's notable speech at the
Webster centennial celebration at
Dartmouth. this week. He said:
How many men have there been in
this country whose college would cele-
brate their taking their degree 100
years afterward. or so years after they
died? 1t might have been done for
Washington and Lincoln. But they
were not college men. 1t might have
been done for Hamilton or Jefferson,
but neither Hamilton nor jefferson got
through college. and jefferson was not
in general Il favorite with college men.

fellow. and believe Harvard will do it
