The residence of Mrs. Elizabeth w
Bowen, on the Oxmead road, near the
State Masonic Home, was entered by
burglars, last week, who had a wagon te
carry away large quantity of silverware
and fine table linen.
When servant in the Bowen house
hold came down stairs, Tuesday morning,
and found window open, it was the first
iHtimation that robbery had taken place
An investigation showed that the linen
closet. where quantity of the family
plate and linen was kept, had been com.
pletely stripped of its contents.
There are supposed to have been at least
two. if not more of the burglars, and theil
work shows them to have had some famil.
iarity with the place. Entrance was made
on the first floor by forcing dining room
window witch jimmy. The catch of the
window was broken and the intruders
made an easy entrance without disturbing
the members of the Bowen family, who
were asleep in the rooms on the upper
floor. Once inside, the burglars passed
through the dining room to the linen
closet and carried off everything they
could lay their hands on.
Much of the silverware stolen was OF
English make and the pieces were priced
by Mrs. Bowen as family heirlooms.
Among the pieces were silver tea pots,
coffee urns, walters, Gorham vases, sey.
eral dozen solid silver spoons, knives and
forks. silver salt and pepper shakers, etc.
There were also many pieces of new table
linen taken. Most of the silverware and
linen is marked with the initials "E W.
B."
The robbery was pulled OF sometime
after midnight and the burglars had the
job finished in time to give them ample
opportunity to get away from this locality
before daybreak. Wagon tracks were
found near the house showing that the
men came well prepared to carry off theil
plumber. aMrs. Bowen, her son and daugh
ter and two servants were asleep upstairs
while the robbers were in the house but
so quietly did the men work that none Of
the family was awakened. The robber.
confined their efforts mostly to the dining
room and linen closet on the lower foo
and made no attempt to get at Mrs
Bowen's jewelry and other valuablel
which were in her room on the second
| floor
Mrs. Bowen could not tell the extent o.
her loss, but 1t is estimated at close tt
$1,000 The police are working on tn,
case.

a Great CITY Is a Great solitude.

But little do men perceive what
solitude is. and how far 1t extendeth;
for crowd is not company, and faces
are but gallery of pictures. and talk
but tinkling cymbal, where there Ia
no love. The Latin adage meeteth 1t
a little: magma civitas. magma soli-
tude; because in a great town friends
are scattered. so that there is not that
fellowship for the most part which Is
in less nelghborhoods; but we may go
further and affirm most truly that it is
a mere and miserable solitude to want
true friends, without which the world
is but wilderness; and even in this
sense also of solitude, whatsoever In
the frame of his nature and affections
is unfit for friendship, he taketh 1t Of
the beast and not from humanity

HAND easNADss OF 1872.
Old Time Ordnance Found at Fort Nc.
Henry-How They Were Used.

While examining the contents Of
the ordnance storehouse at Fort Nc
Henry Lieut.. J. l.. Holcombe, of the
One Hundred and Twenty-eighth coast
artillery discovered several boxes Of
old hand grenades which aresupposed
to be more than hundred years old,
says the Baltimore American. The
missiles are Of the earliest make used
by the United States government. and
were probably placed at the historic
old fort when 1t was first erected in
1872. Owing to the way in which they
were packed the grenades had only
the slightest trace of rust upon them.
The discovery of the weapons recalls
a bit of the ancient history OF the
country. In explaining their use Lieut..
Holcombe said that the grenades were
handled only by the grenadiers Of the
ship, who, walking out upon the yard
arms of the old fashioned fighting YES
sells threw them into the ranks Of the
enemy. An explosion followed which
created havoc. They weigh about
four pounds and are shaped after the
fashion of The bombs used by anar-
chists, and are iron and loaded with
gunpowder.

OLDEST BANK IN THE woRL :
One at Nineveh Seems to Be Entit.es

There was kind OF public record
ONCE attached to the palace and TEN.
pie at Nineveh, in which 1t was Gus.
tomary to deposit important legal and
other documents, such as contracts
and agreements for the purchase and
sale Of property. marriage settlements.
Wills, etc. Among these there were
discovered Official statements as to
the history and transactions OF the
eminent banking house Of Egidu at
Nineveh. Assyrian chronology proves
that these refer to date about $500
years before the Christian era, when
Abraham dwelt at Ur of the Chaldees.
as Is stated In Genesis. We may,
therefore. claim for this firm,the repu.
tation of being the Oldest bank In the
world. at least, of which we have any
record. or are likely to have. The
accounts are very voluminous, and
cover the transactions OF Ave genera.
tons of the house from father to son.
The firm grew rapidly in importance
during this period. during which they
attained great wealth; for they had
succeeded in securing from the king
the appointment of collectors OF taxes,
position which in the east always
leads to fortune. They afterwards
framed the revenue for several of the
Assyrian provinces, with very great
gain to the firm.

WERE WANTED FOR SPORT.
Story Of the Introduction Of Rabbits
Into Australia.

Australia wants population, but It
wants men and women, not rabbits.
The British Australian tells the story
Of the coming of the rabbit, in re-
Spouse to certain sporting men OF
Victoria, who wanted something fresh
to kill. Manning Thatcher made three
attempts to bring rabbits from Eng
land. When he succeeded at last the
sportsmen had forgotten their want.
They were probably shooting the
moon. Mr.. Thatcher could not dispose
OF his wares So on one hot after.
noon he and his companions, left
with a considerable burden Of unsold
wares on their hands. suddenly de.
cided to rid themselves once and for
all of the creatures, which had by this
time reached the dimensions of white
elephants" The rabbits were turned
loose. They remembered the injunc.
tion to be fruitful and multiply. They
did it. And they devastated Aus
tralia. Mr.. Thatcher was given a
medal to commemorate the gratitude
OF Victorians for his introduction OF
rabbits. And now Australia is excited
over a French poison that will kill
nothing but rabbits!

THE TRAGEDIES OF PARIS.
Record Of the seamy Side Of the Gay
French Capital.

From 1000 to 1900 bodies are re-
ceived in the morgue in Paris every
year. These represent suicides and
murders, and not the deaths that &C.
cur in the ordinary course Of events.
And Of these selfslaughterers nearly
half are drownings, which means that
every day at least two persons Jump
into the Seine; two poor wretches
who have failed to find life worth liv.
ing. In the months Of October and
November suicides by drowning in
Paris are double what they are the
remainder Of the year. The prospect
Of having to suffer the hardships of
another winter, begging about in the
cold and sleeping out in the snow, is
too much for many fate-cursed wan.
derer. An interesting fact revealed
by the suicide statistics Of Paris ia
that women show decided dislike to
drowning as means OF violent death.
Four times as many men as women
are fished out Of the Seine. The rec
ords show that asphyxiation Is the ia.
vorite way with the weaker sex "for
shutting of this mortal COIL" when II
has ceased to be bearable.

BIG STICKS IN LONDON.
Johnnies Carrying Canes Of as Inches
and Size 10 Growing.

The London Johnny" has a new
fad. This time 1t concerns his walk
ing-stick, which has now reached the
extraordinary length Of 46 inches, and
is still growing.
OF course It Is impossible to make
much use OF such stick as an aid to
walking. The London dude carries his
horizontalwise, much to the annoy.
ance Of other pedestrians before and
behind, and especially at crowded
crossings.
1t Is hardly reasonable to suppose
that the New York willie Boy is
going to follow In the footsteps OF
London's Johnny" in this matter OF
walking-sticks. Neither New York
nor any other busy American city
would stand for them.
Imagine one Of these walking canes,
carried horizontally, attempting to
board subway or Brooklyn bridge
train or to turn busy Broadway cor
ner during rush hours. Everybody
who has attempted to board train
carrying even small package can
imagine the fate Of the walking-stick
