BURGLARS WITH EDUCATION.
One Who Played Handel, Another Who
 Read Molfere.

One WnO FlayeQ 6anuel, AnOLner WHO Read Molfere. One can understand that, here and there, there may exist a burglar who, when he has done his burgling, loves to lie basking in the sum-" but it is | quite a shock to one's preconceived ideas to hear of burglars who have a passion for music and art, or who be- guile their leisure by reading Hor- ace and Xenophon.
 Only a few weeks ago the tenant of village in the outskirts of Hmburg was reused from his slumbers by strains of exquisite music, which pro- ceeded from an adjoining sitting room Going to the door of the room, we learn she saw g. ragged, disreputable man seated at the piano and playing Handel's Messiah" with remarkable skill. Other pieces followed, all play ed with mastery and feeling which held the unseen auditor spelbound, un- til suddenly the man broke off with shrill discord, and, throwing him. self across the piano, burst into bitter tears"
 When the owner entered the room the musician started up in alarm and at- tempted to escape Finding this im- possible, he confessed that he had en- tered the house with felonious intent, but, seeing the piano, on which he was in happier days professional perfor~ mer, he could not resist the tempta- ton of reviving old memories, until his feelings had finally overcome him.
 In another recent soase a resident in the Rue Montmartre, Paris, was start ed in the early hours of the morning to hear sounds of laughter apparently proceeding from the room beneath him, which was his library. Stealing quietly downstairs and peeping through the partly open door, he was amazed to see strange man comfortably seated in an armchair, book in hand, and chuck ling audibly as he read.
 So absorbed was the reader that, be- fore he had any suspicion that he was being watched he found himself seized from behind by a pair of strong arms, and finding resistance useless he capi- tulated. He confessed to his captor that he was an actor who had fallen on evil days, and had entered his house with burglarious intent, when he chan ed to see a copy of Molier's plays on the library table. He had begun to read Les Fourberies de Scapin," a comedy in which he once played with considerable success, and had become

so expressed that he had completely lost himself until he was rudely awak- ened by finding that he was a prisoner.
 It is not many months since a love .of classics proved a check in the car eer of a burglar in the west end of Lon don. The owner of fiat near Pic .cadilly, returning home after mid night, was astonished to see a man placidly occupying his fayorite seat and reading one of his books. When he was asked what he was doing there. the startled intruder, seeing that he
 was caught, frankly confessed that he
 had ''cOme to steal, but had remained
 to read" and he handed to his captor
 the VOlume-Horace's Works which
 he had found so seductive.
 And, a evidence that a burglar may
 be man of charity, we recall how

Judge Matthewson to Support Bill Reg
 ulating These -...
 Judge A. Mcclellan Mathewson pro- poses numerous reforms in the city court when he takes charge of that tribunal. He went to Hartford yester- day and appeared in the afternoon be- fore the committee on cities and bor- oughs in support of bill relative to the salaries of officials of the city court of New Haven. He has a substitute bill which provides for the appoint ment of two assistant clerks for that court at a salary of $1,000 each, and also provides for the appointment of an official stenographer at salary of $20 week, who is to devote his entire time to the court, including the assist ant city attorneys office, where the bus mess has been increasing at such a rate as to demand the services of a stenographer. Judge Mathewsons bill provides for salaries of officials as fol- lows: For judge and assistant judge, $2,500 each; city attorney s3,00O (de- crease Of $5O0); assistant city attorney, $25O0 (ncrease of $500; :. clerk, s2,500, without fees); assistants, s1,000 each.
 Judge Mathewson stated to the conn mittee that it was planned to save the city a good many thousands of dollars under the new administration by read, Justment of salaries and by making the civil side of the court attractive for lawyers to return their civil cases there ] for trial. If the measure. so far as the stenographer is concerned, does not pass. he has decided to hire a stenog- rapher and pay the salary out of his own funds.

Bills Concerning Salaries of Probate
 Judges Also Heard Yesterday.
 Hartford, March 14.-Various bills seeking to make radical changes m the fare charged by street railway cofnpa- nies were given hearing by the rail road committee of the legislature this afternoon. The supporters of the bills had already been heard and this aft- ernoon's session was devoted entirely to the opposition. One of the Diiis pro- vides for six tickets for twenty-five cents, and forty children's tickets for one dollar: the issue of transfers to two companies operating within the same town limits.
 Every broker in the state Of Con- necticut violates the law every day,
 said the president of the Connecticut Association of Licensed Pawn Brokers before the judiciary committee to-day. Bills providing for bond of $2,OOO py pawn brokers; increasing the rate of interest on pledges under $lQ0 from twenty-five per cent. to sixty per cent was discussed. The present rate of in- terest ic two and a half per cent. a things nearly all charge ten per cent a month or 120 per cent. year.,
 Bills affecting judges of probate in
 New Hartford, Bridgeport and Water
 bury were heard by the judiciary com 1 mittee this afternoon. One bill seeks
 to place the salary of the offices on the following basis, making the salary o1 the New Haven judge of probate $4'' 900 annually, and allowing $S,O00 fol clerical expenses; Hartford, $4,O0o, ex' penses, $2,5OG; Bridgeport. sS,0O0; ex-
 penses, $2,OOO; Waterbury, $2,5O0; ex' penses, $1,OOO. This bill is advocated by Attorney R. J. Woodruff of New Ha- ven and proposes in addition a reduc' l ton in probate fees. Fees amounting to between $500 and $S,000 to be cut 1T I two. Fees of l$500 or under to be one | quarter of what the present statute permits. E. ..l- The salaries of these judges of pro | bate are to be paid by the state, ant the fees are to be turned into the state treasury. MT. Woodruff said that the general impression was that the New | Haven judge Of probate received from
 s12, ,0OO to $15,oG0 in fees annually. MT Woodruff contended that judges of pro
 bate should not receive a greater sal I ary than judges of the supreme or su' perior courts. .-.. .,-... l.,....,s ,,.

THE FLoYDs AT THE Y. M. CA. #@ TONIGHT.

Tonight, the Floyds will appear in the Foy auditorium under the auspices of the Young Mems Christian associa- tion. This will close a very successful course of six entertainments held the past season. It is said that the Floyds are equal to the Fays while some of their work excels it. MT. Floyd has earned high reputation as first class magician and it would be hard to find an equal to Mrs. Floyd in her exempli- tlcation of telepathy and mind reading, Perhaps the most interesting part of the programme will be the hypnotic demonstration of MT. and Mrs. Floyd. These are not only amusing but fascin- ating and appeal strongly to the stu dent and thinker. Owing to the sem sation caused by the recent appear ances of the Pays and J. Randall Brown a full house is expected.

BEFORE UNION LEAGUE.
Highly Enjoyable Illustrated Talk O
 Rome by General Ford.

Highly Enjoyable Illustrated Talk on Rome by General Ford.
 A very fiattering audience greeted
 General Ford last evening at the Union
 league club. The seating capacity was
 exhausted and many stood in the ad-
 joining room. Included. among those present were several professors from Yale and leading men of affairs in the city and all were very enthusiastic over
 the lecture on Rome and the views shown. The lecture was made most in- teresting from an historic standpoint as well as representing present life in
 Rome. Many of the photographs were taken by General Ford. Some of the
 finest interiors, however, such as the
 Sistine chapel and at the Vatican were purchased in Rome. Copies of some of the famous paintings were beautifully eolored by Roman artists. General Fords familiarity with Roman history gave additional interest to the de- scriptiye part of the address. General Ford has contributed several valuable articles to various magazines upon most interesting subjects, espec- ialIy upon early Colonial history, ana in this equally attractive field he has also won marked success, his audiences bestowing most hearty evidences oi their qualification while many personal
 friends have warmly congratulated l him. ..e.s.. .-. .s After the lecture the wish was ex, 1 pressed that it might be repeated where a larger audience might be ac. l commodated. The views shown numbered more than seventy-five. They were showr on a canvass about ten feet square ant 1 many of them were colored, as in thu original.

that day, was driven by the wind
straight toward them. They turned
almost squarely around. Mr.. Kepple
had on heavy overcoat and was
wrapped up in several robes and
horse blankets and was unable to
help himself to any great extent.
However, he thinks this was quite
lucky as it protected his shoulders
