Herald and news. [volume] (West Randolph, Vt.) 1878-1943, 1907-09-12

Morrisville has had several bold at
/ tempts at burglary lately, which hav,
I been unsuccessful as regards the amount
of money secured. The tracks left by the
I thieves in every instance suggest both
amateur and professional work, which
leaves a division OF opinion on that point.
The residence of Rev. V. NJ. Hardy
was evidently spotted by the gang and
received visit one Saturday night, when
Mr.. Hardy was in Cambridge, where he
preached Sunday, and Mrs. Hardy and
Miss Sadie Muzzy were in the house
alone. II is thought that the entrance
was made some time after IL O'Clock, the
burglar or burglars getting in through a
small window leading from the back
porch, which was fastened by nails from
the outside.
Judging from large handful of burnt
matches the thieves must have been in
the house some time, every drawer in the
rooms down stairs having been opened,
They also lighted a candle, which they
/ found in the sitting room and with
which they might have found their way
to the second floor, but no evidence that
\ they did go up stairs was found.
They secured a part Of Boston 4
Maine mileage and $3.50 in money. The
mileage was in drawer in Mr.. Hardy's
desk in the library, together with three
others, two being nearly used up and q
/ third being a personal mileage, contain
ing Mr.. Hardy's name, and marked for
the bearer only. There were also quite a
quantity of stamps, which were not
taken. Three half dollars, which were
4 in purse on the desk, and dollar,
which was in purse in Miss Muzzy's
shopping bag on the kitchen table, were
taken. Although considerable silver
and other valuable articles were in reach
Of them, nothing more was taken. A
small leather match safe was dropped on
the floor and left.
The previous Wednesday night the
home of Mr.. Hardy's brother-in-law
/ II. p. Munson, was visited between
and $50 o'clock when the family were
all out with the exception Of an elderly
| lady, Mrs. Lockwood, who is employed
three. The house was entered during
/ the time above stated, as L. NJ. Munson
returned at the last named hour and
4 found evidence leading to an investiga'
ton which showed that someone had
been in every room up stairs, about five
dollars having been taken from purse
belonging to Miss Jenkins, of New York,
who was guest at Mr.. Munson's
Burnt matches were found on the stairs
and in the hall below, but there was
nothing molested down stairs.

A Fsmou. Rural Play Comma.

"Way Down East with its pretty
story and quaint characters OF New Eng
land life, will be seen at Chandler Music
hall Friday night, Sept. IS,
The play has become SO well known
through successive performances that any
reference TO its character seems almost
supertiuous. In the parlance of theatrical
folk, il is the best repeater of any play OF
modern times. II goes 20 the same cities
year after year, and the business il does
seems 10 increase with every succeeding
engagement, The play has made several
fortunes for Vim, A. Brady and Joseph
Il, Grismer, and the end is not yet. II
is the sort OF play that appeals TO all
classes OF theatregoefs. City bred folk
enjoy the characters and pictures they
have known in other years; the rural folk
are pleased with having their own people
set before them in mimic world, while
those who frequent the gallery hnd just
enough Of the melodramatie in the play
TO appeal to their heroic natures. In con-
sequence SWAY Down East reaches the
purses OF all classes and there are few
plays OF which the same can be written.

ment in August, 1912. Blood x Co. of
Philadelphia sold stamps in 1871. and
the postmaSters of Baltimore, New
Haven and New York of 1919 also sold
stamps.

business but Brazil in 1913 was ahead
of the United States In taking up the
stamp end of the postal business. The
other principal countries followed in
this order: France, Belgium and Ba
yaria In 1919. Hanover, British Gui-
ana. Prussia Spain and Switzerland in
1850; Italy, Denmark, Baden, Wurttem-
berg, SaXony and the provinces of

How the Pendulum Was Found.

Like many of the commonest me
ehanieal instruments in daily use. the
invention of the pendulum is due en-
tirely to chance. Galile, when under
twenty years of age, was standing one
day in the metropolitan church of Pisa
while some painters We're ut work on
the ceiling of the church. A suspended
lamp which was hanging before the al
tar was disturbed in some manner, and
the scientist WAS struck with the al
most perfect regularity with which it
swung back and forth. The idea OF
measuring time by such an instrument
found instant generation In his brain,
and he completed the system In use to
this day.-St Louis Republic
