THE DAY NURSERY.
The Offerings That Game to This Du-
r;nq the Christmas.

At the regular monthly meeting OF the
Board of Managers of the Day Nursery,
January list, there was only small at
tendance. Mrs. Blake the efficient matron
had returned from her Christmas holidays.
The board had sent out for a Christmas
offering little silk bags in which the pen
MES were to be put. Many of these had
been returned, and were opened. The re-
suit being from those In $22.5o Scarcely
half of the bags have ben returned The
Elks sent a donation of $500 to the Muir
sery, which was most gracefully acknowl-
edged.
One of the lovelies contributions came
from two ladies, Mrs. G. Rosenthal ana
her daughter, Mrs. Sol. Rosenbaum, OF
New York, who is here visiting her. This
consisted Of toys for each child and TWEEN
ty-four suits of knit underwear. two for
each child in the Nursery.
The board is very much encouraged
at the interest that has been shown in the
Nursery and earnestly hope, for not only
an increase of subscribers, but also for an
increase of patrons. Possibly many have
never stopped to think what the Day Muir
sery means to mothers who are inclined to
support themselves by outside work and
not be dependent on charity. Before the
Nursery was opened some mothers with
little children who had no one to care for
them at home had to stay with them and
depend on begging for the necessaries of
life. Now they carry their children to the
Nursery, where they know they will be
wei lcared for during the day and go to
the mills, etc., and thus earn an honest
self-support. Let the charitable people
consider this, go and see for themselves
how it is managed, drop contribution IN
the box. or else leave their names as
monthly subscribers.

MONTOWEsE POSToFFICE
ROBBED.

Safe Cracked by Burglars and $3.50 in
Plumber Secured.
Burglars Monday night forced an en-
trance to the postoffiee in Montowese,
and. blowing open the safe, rified the
cash drawer and got away with $3.50
in money and stamps. Judson D.
Foote is the postmaster and the office
is located in a general store kept by
him ait Montowese Center. When Mr.,
Foote came down to the postofice at
6:45 o'clock yesterday morning he
found the front door of the store open
and the doors of the safe within also
open.
It is believed that the burglary oc-
Cured after night. There were no
other tenants in the building and the
burglars had comparatively easy work
of gaining an entrance. This was done
by forcing the door with crowbar.
The burglars had evidently planned to
drive away with the booty with Mr..
Foote's horse and wagon, for they had
gone to the barn and thrown oats in
the hforse's manger TO let the horse
feed while they were doing the job in
the postoffice. The harness was also
taken down from its place and left
where it would be convenient for the
burglars when they were ready to har-
ness the horse. but these plans were not
carried out and It is evident that they
were scared away.
When Mr.. Foote came to the office
he found that the burglars had taken
from the stable two blankets, which
they had soaked thoroughly in water
and then placed them about the safe
for the purpose of muffiing the noise
of the explosion. On the floor they
left the tools which they had used in
breaking in. These Included a large
lerowbar, a chisel and sledge ham
mer.
Postmaster Foote came to this city
Immediately after he discovered the
robbery and consulted with Postmaster
Howarth. United States Marshal Par
melee was called and steps were taken
to apprehend the thieves. The gang
left nothing behind them that would
enable the authorities to trace them,
Except the tools which were found on
the floor Of the postoffice. These bear
no mark that would furnish any clew
to the burglary.
In the opinion Of the postoffice OH
cials the job was done by gang Of
expert safe crackers
