William T. TaIiaferr0 and Fam
lily Were Away When Rob-
bers Broke in the Place.

Thieves broke into the handsome
home of William T. Taliaferro in
Ridgewood e Glen Ridge, early
Yesterday morning during the absence
of the family, who were in Manhattan,
and after taking a good meal turned
every room in the place topsy-turvey.
N~eighbors, who knew the Taliaferros
were not at home, saw lights moving
about, but failed to make an investi-
cation or send word to the police.
When Mr.. Taliaferro returned home
he was startled at the sight which con-
fronted him.
Every room in the house had been
visited, and trunks, ETC., were broken
open and their contents scattered
about in confusion.
On the table in h dining room were
the remains of half-smoked cigarettes
and a lunch of cold chicken, etc. The
thieves were evidently looking for
money, and they got some change that
was lying about. The intruders also
picked up a few articles of jewelry and
some silverware that they could carry
away conveniently.
Chief Of Police Brown was not noti-
fed of the robbery until last night.

How often it happens that weak, nervous
suffering peopleare the subjects of ridicule by
friends, who, being well themselves, cannot
understand such feelings in others. Yet
there is no more terrible suffering than that
resulting from nervousness, anu lOis tne hhoss
prevalent of all complaints.
The most frlghtful fortunes haunt the mind;
the person is in constant dread of impending
evil. sleep refuses to come, and the merest
tribes cause worry and anxiety. Thoughts
Of insanity develop, and the poor sufferer
feels weak, tired and unable to do anything:
the stomach loss of appetite, coated tongue
and lack of interest in daily affairs. -,
