Sneak Thieves.

Saturday night, sneak thieves
visited the sanctum sanctorium or
refrigerator of ye editor and we
were minus several things that goes
to make up an editors Sunday bill
of fare. We do not know who did
the flching, but we are certain 1t
wasn't a Democrat, because who
ever 1t was, they left the refrigera-
tor. and If the thief had been a
good Democrat he would have
taken the refrigerator, contents and
all that was loose. 1t wasn't a
preacher either, because they left
chicken.in the refrigerator, which
no minister would have done. We
are therefore satisfied 1t was a Re-
publican and layman. Whoever
1t was got some excellent butter,
some fresh eggs, goodly quantity
of milk and others things. They
seem to have made several trips
judging from the number of muddy
tracks on the porch where the re-
frigerator stood. 1t Is mighty
mean set of people that would steal
from a poor and lonely newspaper
man. If he ever runs for Office we
are going to blow on him. But may
be It was some poor hungry fellow,
or possibly 1t was some poor wo-
man whose husband has abandoned
her and her children for rum, and
she and the children were hungry.
We don't know how 1t was, so we
don't carry any malice. Why they
would leave nice tender sixteen
year old hen and take o.her things
we can't say. 1t was very kind In
them to divide with as and for
which impartial division we return
thanks. We desire to notify the
parties now that there will be no
more eggs in our refrigerator
this year, but our neighbors
keep eggs all the time. That's
their long suit. You can't miss
getting eggs any time you visit
them but you will If you visit our
house. AS to milk we raise more
than we can use so you need not
call for milk after this at night, be-
cause you can get it In the day
time by simply asking for 1t and in
this way you don't run the risk of
being shot dead by our fearless
hands. Another house was visited
and a coffee pot only stolen. The
thieves were evidently only short
on a few. things or else they could
not carry any more. Any how, as
this is the second Sunday dinner
we have lost In this way we hope
the gentlemen will visit some other
fellow the next time.

BURGLARS AT WORK.

Four Complaints From Residential
 Portion of Orange Street Yesterday. Many Orange street residents in the vicinity of Willow street were rudely awakened at an early hour yesterday morning by the noise of the patrol wagon and officers responding to a call from William J, Moffat, 346 Willow street,
 The niscreants in attempting to force an entrance into the residence of Charles E. Burton, 34S Willow street. awakened Mrs. Burton, who rushed to the window and called MT. Moffat to inform the police of the presence of burglars. He did so and on going to the dining room of his own residence found the door open and quantity of silverWare missing. The burglars had made good their escape before the ar rival of the police although it was only few minutes after the notification that officers were on the spot. The residence of James A. Davis, 693 Orange street, was also entered about the same time and quantity of silverWare ta- ken also the contents of a pocketbook thought to be about $50.
 A silver pitcher was also stolen from the residence of Mrs. Rose Potter, 245 Lawrence street.
 A chisel was used in the several places for forcing open the various re- positories of the valuables and it is thought that the same man operated ;,, of tlo Nn arrests were made.
 There is practically no clue for the police to work on. Mrs. Burton of 344 Willow street saw man about the house, but could give no accurate de- scription of him and aside from this is a question of skillful detective work to discover the perpetrators of the crimes.
 At the Potter residence an entrance was effected by rear window.

YALE CREW CANDIDATES.

About Sixty Responded to the Call of Captain Kunzig Last Night. Yesterday Captain Kunzig of the Yale
 crew announced that meeting of can l didates for the crew would be held in the evening and as result siXty-three 1 candidates responded to the call. Cap tain Kunzig gave practical talk to the candidates and said that training for the class crews would begin to-day. The
 outlook for a winning Yale crew this
 year seems at the present time to be a bright one as the abundant material from last years freshman crew is bet ter that the material usually offered. Only three of last years winning eight have left by graduation and of the three positions, that of stroke left va
 cant by the graduation of Cameron, seems to give Captain Kunzie the most concern. The other two members who have graduated are Mitchell and Cap tain Blagden. One of the most promis- ing candidates for the position of stroke on this years crew is Zeigler Sargent of this city He rowed strong oar last year in the freshman boat and 1t is expected that he will make a good showing this spring when the candi- dates get about on the water.
 The outdoor work of the crew men will begin soon and the tank in the gymnasium will be busy spot for five or six weeks.
 The meeting last night was held at [ o'clock in the gymnasium.

ORGAN ON A STRIKE.
Wouldn't Work at the Proposed Anni- Versarv Exercises at Christ Church

Wouldn't Work at the Proposed Anni- versary Exercises at Christ Church Last night the fifteenth anniversary
 of the rectorship of the present rector of Christ church, Rev. Dr. G. Brinley Morgan, was to have been celebrated and an elaborate programme had been prepared for the occasion. Long be- fore o'clock, when the first organ number was scheduled to take place, the church was filled to it's capacity
 and when s o'clock struck the church
 was filled to overfiowing. Some were in the vestibules at the rear of the
 church and there was no standing
 room inside. MT. Kraft, the organist,
 Professor Harry Jepson and Mrs.
 Kraft, the wife of the organist of the
 church, were to take part on the pro-
 gramme, and a rare treat was expect
 ed. Shortly before 8 o'clock the or
 ganist and two or three assistants were
 seen to hurry about in the vicinity of
 the big organ, as if something was
 wrong. They would go inside the big
 instrument and then they would pull at
 the stops, and they did things that kept
 the audience guessing for half an hour.
 Finally MT. Kraft stepped to the front of the platform and announced that the organ was out of order and that it would be impossible to have it fixed in time for the exercises to take place last evening. This was about S:30. MT. Kraft announced that the exercises would be held tonight and that the same programme that had been ar ranged for last night, would be given this evening. Of course the large aui- dience was somewhat disappointed, as many cannot attend this evening, but under the circumstances nothing else could be done The big organ refused to work and that was all there was to it.

PEOPLES CHORAL UNION.
Splendid Rehearsal Last Night-Unex.
 ,,aafa6 O,ta1ttu DavaIopAd

1 Splendid Rehearsal Last Night-Unex- pected Quality Developed.
 | The meeting of the Peoples Choral union last night in it's quarters in the Masonic Temple was grand success,
 and the members were simply astound- i ed with the manner in which the songs were rendered, especially The Lost | Chord" The unexpected freshness of the voices, the spirit that the mem 1 bers put into the singing and the vol | ume and harmony that they were able | to produce proved delightful surprise not only to the members, but to the of 1 fiCers as well. The lullabys were sung l with beautiful expression. Professor 1 William Lyon Phelps, who is the pres | ident of the Choral Union, delivered his | customary witty address and said that he hoped the good work of the union would continue to improve with the swiftness that it has since it's organi- zation and he congratulated the sing CTS on their fine work of the evening"
 He announced that the first concert of the union would be given during the last of April and that the division off, cers would be the following: For the sopranos, w. E. Chandler; altos, Mir Hendricks tenors, J. T, Mclaughlin, and for the passes, MT. Smith. The
 classes in sight reading will meet for the first time next week.
 At the present time there are 376 members in the society, and enough ap- plications have been received to in- crease the number to 400, which will be the limit in membership.
 All voices are not being accepted as will be shown by the fact that of fifty that applied to MT. Haesche last week only twenty persons were accepted. On account of the splendid work done so far it will be possible for the union to
 take more pretentious compositions
 than the ones in charge anticipated.
