Rooms Entered and Between $40
and $50 Taken.

Last night burglars entered the
rooms occupied by Miss Rachel
Beecher (over the meat market of
Enzenroth & Jacka). They carried off
between $40 and $50 in money. Miss
Beecher was at her accustomed place
in the store of Charles Hornung at
the time, and until her return to her
rooms at about 9:30 O'Clock, she did
not know that the theft had been
committed. She found that her three
dressers had been rams acked, but her
watch and iewelry, which were in
plain sight, were left untouched. The
burglars secured entrance to the
rooms by climing on the roof of the
building and breaking open back
door.

the posting of notices in all shops to

and though every effort must be made
and every energy bent to minimize the
chance of its occurrence, yet it is n
matter of profound qualification to all
who are proud of the American navy
that the officers and men concerned
should have behaved so well under
such trying circumstances. The weap-
ons with which men now make war
on the ocean are so terrible, the me-
chanism Of our warships is at once so
delicate and 50 formidable, as to make
thorough training and practice in their
