BURGLARS LAWN PARTY.
Ransaek a House and Then Feast

ROCkAWAY, N. J., Aug. 24.-Thieyes
in Morris county are becoming quite
conventional. The residence of c.. L.
Beach here was broken into last night
and the burglars, after ~ransacking the
buffers kitchen and cellar, held a lawn
party in front of the house. A table
cloth was found spread on the grass,
and on it were the remains of a we'll
cooked dinner.
The men, however, did not care
much for the sort of wine that Mr..
Beach had, for several bottles of choice
claret and sherry We're opened, but
only partly emptied. All the beer and
whiskey had disappeared, however,
along with a quantity of Roquefort
cheese.
w. H. Bingham's residence was also
broken into last night, but the thieve
had evidently been scared away, the
only article missing being a bicycle.
Burglars also entered the local freight
Saturday night and stole beer
and whiskey. There was nothing of
value taken from the Beach res

A pleasant surprise was given Mrs.
J. Engle at her home on Walnut ave.
nue. last night A number of W. c. r.
Z. ladies who had become aware of
the proximity of her birthday. met i n
Willard Hall at s O'Clock and then
repaired in a body to Mrs. EngIe's
home, where they spent a most de

as a complete surprise to the hostess,
and when after a few of cas-
ual conversation Mrs. j.. w. Barnes
arose and read a letter of greeting
from Mrs. N. r. C. Morrow. who was
unable TO be present. and then in a
neat little speech of her own, pre-
sented to Mrs. Engle, as a token of
love and esteem, a gold brooch
containing a small diamond
by pearls. She was almost over
come with emotion at this evidence of
a affection shown her. The aides of the
Cnion n of he city are always de-
lighted to honor Mrs, Engle in any
way. and this occasion was
as gratifying to. them as it was TO her.
Another pleasant, feature of the even

scene bearing a huge tray of ice
cream for his mothers guests, and
hoped that Mrs. Engle's riends will
ave the opportunity of helping her
many more birthdays.

Painful Accident to Barefoot Soy

Painful Accident to Barefoot Boy.
John knight a twelve-year-old boy
who lives with his parents over the
Fairmont Tea Company's store on
Merchant street. met with a painful
accident the other afternoon.
On going out of the store, just as
boys usually so, he struck the ball of
his bare o 0 against the sharp end
OF g hard oak splinter, which was ele-
waited above the surface of the floor.
The force with which he struck it,
drove the splinter d~iasonalIv upward
into his foot an inch and a half, when
it broke off at the base, and remaining
buried full length within the flesh,
inflicted an ugly wound.

ciently to volunteer as sur

verted their penknife into a sca1pel.
With this they cut the outer tegu-

knife blade into one edge, when, with
little effort on their part, they sue

AN EXPENSIVE EVIL.
Business Men Coming to See That
Intemperance Is Costly for the In
dividual and the Government.

Slowly but surely sensible business
men are discovering the fact which
religious papers and temperance adj
vocates have SO often asserted, that
Tor every dollar received from saloon
taxes the saloon makes necessary the
expenditure of two dollars. An Indi-
annapolis paper recently called atten-
ton to the fact that the penal and
reformatory institutions of Indiana
cost during the previous fiscal year no
less an amount than $37S,S04 This is
but one comparatively small part of
the expense caused By the 1850 sa-
looms in Indiana which paid only
S4S5,O0O TO state school funds, while
the police stations of INDIANAPOLIS
alone cost 1891 $50 in addition to
which there was an expense in the
year 1902 for the citys portion of the
maintenance of the Jail, poorhouse.
workhouse and criminal courts of s64.-
734. One Indiana city paid for the raw
ages chiefly caused by the saloons sew
eral thousands more than the entire
amount paid by saloons to the school
fund! 1t is safe to say that if there
were no open saloons in INDIANAPOLIS
the expenses for the detection and
punishment of crime and the care of
those impoverished by saloons would
be decreased by at least rs per cent

WHAT A LITTLE GIRL DID.

The city was putting water pipes
through the street In front of a modern
suburban home, and the little daughter
of the house became very much interest
ed iD the process, says writer in
Youths Companion. The ground was
torn up, and muddy coats and grimy
shirts disfgured the trim fence. The
gang on duty were Woodworking, hard
er talking and exceedingly thirsty lot Of
men. A little girl, Hetty by name,
watched them from the house with alb
sorbing attention. 1t was cold autumn
weather, and their voices were sharp
upon the still air. One noon the child
came TO her mother in great distress.
They are passing a black bottle
around, and one man is talking very
loud and saying wicked things"
Perhaps they are drinking; you
had better keep away" replied the
cautious mother
Hetty's face grew quite sad, and that
night she prayed for the poor man
who drank while laying the water
pipe" A little before noon the next
day she approached her mother tim
