OF the city inhabited by C~aucasians.

Thre was an exciting burglar scare in
+ the Bergen section, and Miss Lillian
Russell (not the actress, but the daugh-
ter of Michael ]. Russell, of No. Al
Fairview avenue, showed herself en-
dowed with a considerable amount of
pluck.
Mrs. Russell, and her three daughters,
Lillian, Gertrude, and Bessie, asleep on
the second floor of their home, were
aroused by noise as of some one trying
to open a window on the ground floor.
They persuaded themselves that their
pet dog was causing the noise. Mrs.
Russell, accompanied by her daughter,
Lillian, descended to investigate. They
crept cautiously across the hallway and
peeped at the window from which they
thought the noise proceeded. Silhouetted
in the frame formed by the window was
o tall, dark eomplexioned man, with a
bard, industriously at work trying to
raise the lower sash.
Miss Russell rushed back upstairs and
got a revolver She was about to shoot
at the silhouetted figure at the window
when Mrs. Russell became hysterical
and screamed. The silheuetted figure
quickly disappeared. Almost simultan-
1 eouslyl Mrs and Miss Russell were
&tartled by sounds at a rear window of
g house. Some one seemed to b try
to get in that window. The startled

The noise of the shooting attracted the

Evangelical Church; Mr.. William Smith,

neighbors searched for the burglars.
