The Name Moses.

It is q curious fact, unknown pen.
haps to a majority Of readers, that
Moses Of Scriptural fame was called
by eight different names in various
places in the Bible. Bathia, the daugh-
ter Of Pharaoh, called him Moses be-
cause she drew him out Of the water.
Jochebed, his mother, called him Jeku-
thiel, saying, Il had hoped for him"
Miriam, his sister, called him Jared
because she had descended after him
into the water to see what his end
would be. Aaron called his brother
Abb Zanuch because his father had de-
serted their mother. Amram, the ia
Their Of Moses, called the boy Chabar
because he was again reunited to the
mother Of the lad.
Kehath, the grandfather of Moses,
called him Abigdor because God had
repaired the breach in the house of
Jacob. The nurse of the grandfather
of Moses called him Abb Socho because
he was once hidden three months in
the Tabernacle. All Israel called him
Shemaiah because sin his days God
heard their cries and rescued them
from their oppressors."

AUGUSTA LOCALS.
MADE A $72 HAUL.
Window Broken in Hilton's Jewelry
Store and Tray CT Chains Stolen.

n break was made in the f. z. Hill
ton iewclry store in the City Hotel
block on Water street about 10.4O
O'Clock last evening and a tray of two
dozen chains. valued by the proprietor
at So was stolen. A pane of glass in
the lower half of the window was bro
ken presumably with a fist or elbow
and the tray, which was the thing
nearest at hand. was snatched. The
thief evidently ran north, for glass was
strnwn along the sidewalk in that di-
rectiOn.
The break was discovered a few
moments after it was made by Deputy
Marshal George Simpson and +. $.
Booth Of Watervile. They reported
the matter to the local department and
incidentally gave the officers des-
cription of a man whom they noticed
lounging in the vicinity of the store
but short time before. With this
description on which to work the two
men from Waterville and local Officers
Farrin and Colgan went through No.
2 which had just pulled into the sta
ton. No one answering the description
was found on it.
Mr.. Booth described the man, who
extracted his attention, as being about
5 feet or S inches tall, weighing about
900, of dark complexion, long dark over
coat and black derby hat. had no
mouStache, but about three days
growth of beard. He was leaning
against a pole when they noticed him
first and in such way that the light
from the window reelected strongly
upon his face, hence the minute des-
criction.
/ The police department was of the
opinion that the job was done by local
amateurs. both from the nature Of the
break and from the location of the
store The stakes were hardly big
enough to tempt professional.

''Oh, if you are afraid" s1eered the
young man unpleasantly, perhaps you
had better do the driving"

the drummer never forgot.

with the utmost politeness. as he tool
the lines. Then he reached for thu
