Society the Prey of a Ratfles.

Residents of Larchmont. the fash
ionable suburb of New York, are suf-
fering at the hands of Raffies, who
is swapping up trifles in the boldest
way, generally paying social calls in
the afternoon. A few days ago he
walked coolly into the house of c, H.
Dale and appropriated over $4,000
worth of jewelry. Next afternoon but
one well-dressed man strolled up to
the residence of Edward A. Maher.
president of the Union railway He
fingered a moment at tho door. then
threw away his cigarette and was
seen to enter. Later it was found that
he went up stairs to Mrs. Maher's
room, gathered up some $4,000 worth
of gems and departed. stopping at the
safe to light fresh cigarette.

The firm statistical position Of domestic

to. many consumers early last week acted
as a stimulant to forward buying Of steel
