At The Grand Saturday Night.

In "Allce OF Old Vincennes, which
will be presented at the Traders Grand
opera house Saturday night Septem-
Der 10, Gertrude Coghlan has found a
role that is peculiarly suited to her
charming personality. AS the girlish
heroine of Revolutionary days she has
every opportunity to display those
gifts that have already made her such
atavorite with the theatre.goers Of
America. She has been greeted every
where by large and enthusiastic audi
encas, and the play is one that finds
favor in all sections. The charm Of
Alice in play form is the charm that
made the story so attractive between
the covers of the book. Edward e.
Rose, the adaptor, has adhered as
closely as was consistent TO Maurice
Thompson's thrilling tale, and the re-
suit is some strong situations, and at
least one tremendous climax, Scenic
ally, "Alice of Old Vincennesn is unu-
sually attractive, the costumes are
historically correct, and the incidental
music is one of the features Of the
production. The play is mounted with
great lavishnesS, and the Original set
tings and accessories of the New York
production will be seen in their en-
tirety.

Let 1t Be Unanimous.

Here and there are some dirty
places on the brick streets, which
very much mar the beauty of the
streets. These dirty places occur be-
cause they are not swept, and they
are not swept because the merchants
whose stores front on the streets at
those points decline to pay to have
the street swept. The cost is not
heavy. and every business man on the
improved streets should join in and
make the thing unanimous by having
every foot of the paved streets
swept. 1t would make much neate,
and prettier city.

4 bold attempt was made to bur
glarize Strauss & Miller's grocerJ
store on Main street this morning
just before daybreak
At that hour Private Watchman
Frank LockTidge, in making his
rounds, discovered in the alley Just
north of Strauss 4 Millef's. consia-
erable amount of groceries and sun-
dries He reached the conclusion at
once that some one was bUrglarizlig
the store Feeling confident that the
burglar would re-apDear in the alley
to take away the stolen groceries. he
secreted himself nearby, and awaited
the coming Of the burglar He waited
several minutes, but no one appeared,
and he proceeded to investigate
The investigation availed him
nothing but the discovery of the man
ner in which he had been duped by
4 Millers grocery and Altheimer' S
Dry Goods store. there is a narrow
alley dividing those stores from the
Pine street buildings. Sew
eral windows in botl
stores open in the alley, which are
protected only about three-fourths of
the length of the windows by iron
bars. and a man can easily effect an
entrance above these bars.
1t was in this manner that the bur
glar made an entrance into Strauss
& Miller's. After getting inside he
ransacked the store pretty thorough
ly, and put what things he wanted in
the side alley through a door which
iae opened from the inside. The sup
plies he took consisted largely of
eggs. hams and breakfast bacon
About that time Lockridge came
along and saw the grocedies in the
alley. 1t is the general opinion tbs,
the burglar saw Lockridge approach
ing. and it is supposed he left the
builnlng in the same manner in which
he entered it. After alighting from,
tho windows he went to the rear of
Altheimer's store and effected an en-
trance to that store through rear
window in the same manner as he
had entered Strauss & Miller 5,

door and passed out Doubtless as he
did SO he smiled at the discontinue
of the watchman waiting for him in
the alley.
Though Lockridge faied to catch
the burglar his vigilance prevented a
considerable loss. AS it was, nothing
was stolen in either store.
The police believe that the recent
burglaries and attempts are the work
of an organized band of negroes. and
every effort is being made to apprc
hend them.
