THlEF'S TRIP OYER ROOFS.
TRAVELLED TWO BLOCKS To ROB
THE FISCHER ANSENS.
Caretaker Heard Him on a Fire Escape
and Her lells scared Him 80 Thst
lie Dropped a Bas Of stolen silver
on the Roof OF . NeighbOr's House.

Residents Of he block bounded by Fifth
and Sixth avenues and West Forty seventh
, and West Forty eighth streets were awak-
ened just before daylight yesterday by
shrieks OF police" from Mrs. Mary Meal
lister. caretaker of l.. G.. Clark's house at
81 West Forty-seventh street.
Mrs. McAllister had heard a noise on the
fire escape, which runs to the top Of an
extension just outside her top-Aoor room,
and reached the window in time to see a
man coming up with a white bag slung over
his shoulder. She rushed for sonnet hing to
throw at the mar. When she got back
all she saw Of him was his feet dangling
in the air overhead az he pulled himself
up q long rope hitohed to all iron ber at
tached to the roof.
Ky the time Mrs. McAllis or got through
yelling Capt. Tighe and the reserves from
the East FIT first street stat ion had sur
rounded the block.
A number Of persons who stuck their
heads out of rear windows on West Forty
eighth street saw the thief dash over roofs
until he disappeared at the Sixth avenue
end Of the block, On the roof Of DR.. W. B.
Woodss house, at SO West Forty seventh
street, The man dropped the bag. which
contained silverware stolen from the home
Of Carl Fischer Hansen at Vert Forty
seventh 81 rect.
Capt. Tighe thinks the man got away
through the four-story fathouse at Sixth

to the Clark house where, after first sus
pending the rope from the roof to the FIRE
escape, he made his way to the ground
and then over fences with the help Of lad
der to Mr.. Fischer Hansen's house, which
is near the eastern end Of the block and is
but four doors from Perry Belmont's resi-
dence at the Fifth avenue corner Of Forty
seventh street.
The man had opened and climbed into
q lrststory rear window Of the Fischer
Hansen house. gathered up all the silver
ware he could find and hastily departed.
The police say that he was returning over
the same route he had taken at the start
when Mrs. McAllister saw him.
Mr.. Fischer-Hansen had no idea that he
! had been robbed until the police called
several hours later and told him of the
, recovery OF the silver He said the stolen
articles warr wedding gifts and were worth
about $1,000,
Three men, who described themselves as

Among The Alps.

The city of Lucerne, on the north
west arm Of the lake, is one of the
largest and most important cities of
Switzerland. Southwest of the city
rises the gigantic peak of Pilatus, from
whose submit is secured one of the
finest panoramic views of the Alps, for
the lake of Lucerne is in the very heart
OF Switzerland. From most other
points the views are in one or two di-
rections, but from the peaks around
the Waldstatter Sea the wild Alpine
SUBMITS rise round you in every direc-
ton.
East OF Lucerne, across the lake,
stands the rival peak of Rigi, from
whose summit can be obtained a
view rivaling oven that from Pilatus,
since it commands a better view Of
Lake Lucerne itself, and also magni-
ficent view of the Lake of Tug to the
North and West. At the foot of Rigi,
at the head Of the north arm of the
lake, nestles the valley of Kussnacht,
where the tyrant Gesler built his
famous castle called Urls Menace, -
which was destroyed after the Swiss
had overthrow the power of Austria
in the fourteenth century. From The
Land of Liberty and Legends. +" by Guy
