THIEVES ROB
 COURT HOUSE ------ Secure $50 from Office
 of Clerk. gEAvE VALUABLE WATCH Safe is Found Open With Money
 Gone. Sssperty Belongs to HenrysgEughes --BarsIar Gains Access to
 to omce, Opens safe and Escapes without
 xesving Ciue.

Leaving no trace of violence, some- .s te entsrd the office of Henry N. Hughes. clerk of the city court of day night, opened large iron safe and stole approximately $50, leaving fin the safe gold watch valued at $500, and escaped from the premises unobserved. The robbery is yelled in mystery.
 The robbery was discovered by Dem nis Cross. The negro Janitor at the court house, at an early hour yester- day morning. Cross went to the court house to begin his regular routine work for the day. He was startled to find the door of the clerks office wide open the window raised, the iron safe doors open and the drawers of the safe pulled out.
 He immediately brought Night Jailer L. J. Fl Fabel to the court house.
 Clerk Hughes was called. Making an examination of the funds in the safe, he estimated thata about $50 had been stolen, including s2o in currency, whirh he kept in a top drawer and silver money in a lower drawer.
 4 striking peculiarfty of the bur giary is that the depredator did not carry of handsome double case aold watch, studded with "a ha1f Karat
  CT with the silver. Considerable small change was also left in a yox in a lower corner of the vault.
 The watch is handsome and valuable, and was the property of Henry H. Matthews. the late clerk of the city court during his lifetime. It has been seen and could be positively identified by so many people that, it is believed, the burglar left the watch rather than run the risk of detection.
 The money which MT. Hughes lost was his personal property. He was known to have been in the habit of keeping several hundred dollars in the safe at odd times, and Saturday he had an his possession a large amount of money which he fortunately deposited.
 The job was clean cut and no clues were left, except long steel key which was found inside the safe.
 Mir. Hughes was positive he had aocked his safe before leaving his of- ice Sunday evening.
 The theory held by the police is

THE POINT JUDITH RErEGE.

It IS gratifying TO know that the harbor of
refuge at Point Judith, Of which we have spoken
commendingiy on numerous occasions is now
within sight Of completion, and that its compile
ton is assured. The appropriation of S27OOOO
made by the late Congress will probably be
sufficient for building the eastern shore arm of
the breakwater, and thus providing a place
where lifeboats may he launched and put out
securely IN any weather. When finished the
work will provide both place OF refuge which
vessels in distress can enter and a place OF
rescue from which lifesayers can go forth to
vessels which fail to make the harbor.
Recent occurrences, in those very waters as
well as elsewhere, have tragically emphasized
the dangers Of the deep, and especially of the
narrow seas and the urgent need of all pos
sible means of avoiding them. Point Judith
Watch Hill, Block Island and Gay Head are
names which have long been remindful of
danger and Of death. The wrath of the ele-
nentS cannot be assuaged or bridled. All that
can be done, after making ships as seaworthy
as possible. is 10 mark the points of special

more and more traversed by all sorts Of both

easy 10 find any part of the seven seas where
elemental conditions are more potential for

for the taking of precautions for safety such

FARM DTSTILLATTOY.

one OF The most important pieces of leGisla-
zion By Congress at the last session was the
adoption OF Senator Hansbrough's amendments
20 the free alcohol law. Many supporters of
The original measure had expected that il
would enable the farmer 10 manufacture small
quantities of spirits for use in running Dor
ton Of bis machinery. To some agriculurists
that privilege would be more welcome than any
increased demand for their corn by wholesale
distillers. When, therefore it was discovered
that the proper provision had not been made
the Senator from North DakOta took the lead
in movement TO correct the oversight and
was entirely successful. The new law does not
go into effect until next September, but il will
then be permissible FOR anybody who complies
with regulations which the Commissioner Of
Internal Revenue is required TO issue 10 dstil
on his own premises a quantity Of alcohol not
exceeding a hundred gallons about two barrels,
daily. 1t does not matter how little he pro-
duces or how much Of the time his still stands

SANDWICH MAKING woNpERs.

From The Providence Journal
ON good JOURNALISTIC authority there is a Con
necticut landlord who is expert sandwich maker
or ham cutter. whichever he prefer bO
called. lie says that ne can. and often has cut
meat for POO sandwiches from a underground ham
He told the story with pride, and IL printed
IN his local paper with more pride. and reprinted
IN a New York paper with and admiration.
yet II cannot he believed that this Is any extraor-
binary feat in ham cutting and sandwich making.
In some Of the Providence restaurants there are
cutters AMI trimmers who are undoubtedly capable
OF making up $50 sandwiches from a twelve pound
man, and when they have done il there is ham
enough left to provide minced ham a Ia Sneschofp-
telteldChen for the next days menu to say moth
ing OF the bone. which IS generally worked over
INTO nam soup for the second day thereafter. And
once there was a church bazaar at which the

sandwiches from an eleven pound ham. and had
enough left so that she considered It worth while
10 take the remnant home with her.
