Burglar Was a Musician.

Brooklyn has ambled out into the lime
light with another novelty in the burglary
line. This time it is virtuoso Of the
Jimmy and skeleton-a housebreaking
Paderewski.
The home of John F. Harris, school
principal, at 454 Seventh street, was the
first to be honored by visit from him.
Mr.. Harris, his family and their maidwere
away when he called. He was accompanied
by pal, who, so far as is known, was
just a common everyday sort OF burglar,
with no musical talent.
Now, in the parlor of the Harris home
there is fine piano. The burglar had
raised a front window that the music night
be heard better outside. 1t soon appeared
to the listening neighbors that master at
the keys was calling upon the Harris fam
lily.
He began with Mendelssohn' wedding
march, playing it with technique and ex-
preston which were revelation to Seventh
street. Then he swung smoothly into
Thomas ''Mignon' overture, bringing
out, to the delight Of his hearers, all the
grace and delicacy of the music. Then,
after dashing off Wagner's KAISER
March,, the Josef Hoffman of the dark
lantern swung unfalteringly into the popu-
lar music of "Il Trovatore. y Several
girls who were sitting on stoop across the
way were so delighted with the music that
they clapped their hands in applause.
While the burglar Paderewski was CIV
ing his classical program at the piano, to
the great entertainment of the nelghbor-
hood, his pal was busy ransacking every
drawer and closet in the house. When he
appeared in the parlor with his loot OF
jewelry and money in his pockets the mus
ical member or the combination wound up
his performance with "Good Night, Be-
loved, Good Might and the two walked
out.
As the burglars were departing they en-
countered the maid employed by the family
coming in. She screamed and they dashed
down the street, disappearing around the
corner. When Mr.. Harris and his wife
returned they found that the two had
stolen jewelry and money amounting to
$3.50.

Negro Made Auditor For Navy De-
nartment
From Baltimore American. April

Late this afternoon the President am
nounced that William Wallace Brown, auditor
for the Navy Department, had resigned to
accept an appointment as special attorney III
the Department of Justice, and that Ralph
w. Tyler, of Columbus, Ohio, had been
appointed auditor for the Navy Department
in place of Mr.. Brown.
The announcement was important because
TYLER is the coored man who caused all the
trouble when the President, some months ago,
threatened to appoint him Surveyor OF Gus
toms at Cincinnati. 1t was during the excite
ment over the Brownsville affair i'll the Senate
when it was semi officially announced that the
President was going to appoint Tyler to one
of the hes: federal offices in Cincinnati, the
home of Senator Foraker. This announce
ment brought a storm of protests from
Ohio and finally Representative Longworth,
the Presidents son-in-law, who repre-
~ents the district in in Cincinnati which
the office of surveyor is located. Was Obliged
To protest against the appointment as his con
sti.uents threatened to retire him to private
life if the colored man was appointed. FIN
ally Senators Foraker and Dick, of Ohio, m
dorsed Tyler for any place at the gift OF The
President outside of Ohio. They were willing
that he should be made consul or get fed
eral job in Washington, so long as he was not
placed IN OhlO. Inc freSluenl iueI peSah
to look around for something in Washington
and finally settled upon an authorship.
Although the appointment seems to nave
been settled upon some days ago, the Presl.
dent waited for an opportune time to an
nouuce it, and IN doing so today he cuts two
ways, hitting Senator Penrose, of Pennsyl
vania, by transferring one of his constituents
and workers from an important position to 6
rather underlined one in the Department o.
Justice. On the other hand he hits Senator
Foraker on the very day the latter opens his
campaign in Ohio and makes his speech ex
planning his position on the Presidents poll
cies. especially in regard to the Brownsville
affair and its bad effect on the colored vote II
Ohio. AT the same time the voters OF Ohlt
will read Senator Foraker's speech, they vii
also read that President Roosevelt has pro
vided fat federal job in Washington for thu
colored man from Columbus.
1t was stated at the White House this after
noon that Tyler had been the society reporte
for the Columbus Dispatch, and that the IN
vestigation made by the President showed HIN
to be fully capable of performing the duties
of his new office.
The appointment will be of interest to tn
Navy for although Mr.. Tyler is auditor TO
the Navy Department, he is really an otflce
of the Treasury Department and the nava
officers will not come in contact with him
although he will have to pass upon all thel
accounts,

Farm Laborers For Md.

Secretary of the State Board of lmmi-
grafton A. T. Trappe, who went abroad in
the interest of obtaining laborers for the
farmers, writes that he will sail this month
with from 60 to 80 farm laborers for Mary
land This will be good news for the
farmers if he is successful in getting them
to the country before they are picked up in
the city, as happened to the foreigners that
landed about a month ago. He found
plenty of foreigners who were willing to
come to the United States to work if GER
tain conditions were met ard in Switzerland
under the laws of that country the only
way to get them was to induce Swiss fam
lilies in this country to write their friends
to come.
In the Netherlands he can get any num-
Der of families provided the State will re-
turn them if they are illtreated or become
dissatisfied after wears work.

Earthquake Moved Mountain.

Whole mountains were moved by the
earthquake Investigation at Palo Alto,
Cal, by geological experts, it is said, show
that the small mountain range known as
Sierra Morena or Sierra Santa Cruz, has
been moved northward from three to six
feet. This range forms the backbone Of
the peninsula of San Francisco. Along the
base of the Moreno range for 40 miles ex
tends a narrow valley which marks an old
geological fault. When it was made the
rocks on the east side fell about 1000
feet relatively with those on the west side,
which constitutes the Morena range.
Most earthquakeshocks about San Francisco
are the result of friction and readjustment
along the line Of this old fault. The
violent shock of April IS clearly was due
to this old fault, which reopened on the
west side. This fault slipped northward
three to six feet without change of level
on either side, and when the strain on the
Moreno range was relieved the earthquake
ceased. At first the motion was horizontal,
and then waves from more distant points
caused extraordinary twists.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 10, 1907.
HONEYMOON White Horses.

After their marriage the other day a
bride and bridegroom mounted white horses
and rode away from Ingleby, Arncliffe,
Yorkshire, to the Lake district, where
their honeymoon is being spent.
Attired in a gray habit, with black
velvet collar, a cutaway coat and white
waistcoat, with white straw three-corner-
ed hat upon her head and on her hands
white gauntlet gloves, the bride looked
extremely picturesque. She was Miss
Phoebe johnson, daughter OF Walter
johnson, of Arncliffe Hall, and niece Of
the late Sir William Bell. The bridegroom
is William Astell Kaye, of Gloucester
Mansions, London.
By reviving this form of honeymoon
Journey Mr. and Mrs. Astell Kaye add
one to many picturesque modern modes OF
honeymoon travel An opportunity was
given also for demonstration of good will
on the part of friends, for the couple were
attended through the village by three Of
the bridesmaids and three cavaliers.
It will be remembered that the Marquis
of Butte took his bride away from Ireland,
her native land, last year to Scotland In
his yacht, and the yacht was reached by
boat rowed by men, in quaint historic
costume. Several summer river weddings
have been rendered picturesque by the de-
parture of the happy pair in boat, the
bridegroom at the oars and the bride at the
rudder, and motor boats and steam launches
are in request for the same romantic pur-
pose.
The obvious choice for bride and bride
groom to make who desire to pioneer the
latest form of locomotion is balloon, es-
pecially as the uncertainty Of the destina-
ton would lend to the journey an added

Young Woman Attempts to Ride
Buggy Wheel.

Because she thought she could use a
buggy wheel as bicycle and tried to ride
it without divided skirts at high noon the
other day, woman who gives the nomme
de plume of Clara Wilson was fined 50 In
police court for being drunk. This fe-
male, who is we'll dressed and very polite,
while sober, was giving an open air exhi-
bition on Kansas avenue, near Fourth
street, Topeka, Kansas, when captured by
Officer Miller.
In police court the woman was very
penitent but refused to g i've her right
name. She said she was married, and her
husband, who lived in California, would
leave her if he heard Of her escapade.
When arrested she claimed to be the wife
of A. P. Tone Wilson, Topeka lawyer.
The police knew she was prevaricating, and
paid no attention to her claim. She has
been arrested several times during the last
year, and is evidently a cocaine iend. She
has on each occasion given fictitious name.

CUBA Libre" July 4, 1908.

HAVANA, April lO.-It appears that July 4.
1908, will be the day when the control OF
Cuban affairs is given back to the Cuban
people.
The Liberals are anxious that the final
elections be held in December, 1907 and the
government turned over May 20, 1908, the
anniversary of the Inauguration of the first
Cuban republic. They also want the NUM-
cipal and provincial elections held simuItanee
ousIy. The Conservatives, on the other hand,
desire that the final elections be held later
than next December and that the municipal
and provincial elections be held six months
apart In view of this divergence of desire a
compromise, which will result in the turning
over of the control of Cuban affairs on the
American holiday. is probable.

Locked in an Ice Car.

After spending four days locked in a
refrigerator car loaded with ice and eggs,
shivering, blinded and probably dying,
Grant Meals, twenty years old, was taken
from the car in the Wabash yards at Lo-
gansport, Ind. He slowed away at Clay
Center, Kan, where the car was loaded
and billed through to Philadelphia. He
persuaded fellow workman at the pack
ing plant where the eggs were loaded to
hide him in the car. He had provisions
to last ten days and had six bottles of wine.
When taken from the car his food was
gone and he was nearly frozen.
