NONTCLA|R MAN
SEEKS BURGLARS
WITH HIS RIFLE
lie Thought They Had Been
Surprised by His Sudden
Return.
THEY GOT JEWELS AND
CLOTHES WITH MONEY
Veteran Searched the Yard With
a Gun, but Found
No One.

George H. Hayden, of 1865 Valley
road, Montclair, reported today that
his nous had been entered last Thurs
day night, between the hours of s and
IL O'Clock, while he and his wife were
out visiting. The thieves got away
with three suits of clothes, o~vercoat,
lady's gold watch and chain, diamond
ring, two plain gold rings and $50 in
cash. Entrance was obtained through
a kitchen window at the pack of the
house, a pane of glass being knocked
out so that the catch could be opened.
II. Hayden and his wife are the
only occupants of the house, their chill
dren being married, and Mr.. Hayden
thinks they must have been seen by
the thieves leaving the house. Mr..
Hayden also says that the thieves
must have been frightened away,
probably by his return, as a small,
valuable French clock had been moved
from the parlor Inc was left standing
on the kitchen table. Mr.. Hayden,
who is a boss painter and an old navy
veteran of the Civil War, rushed for
his rifle and searched the yard in hope
that the burglars might have been sur
prised and had hidden there. A search,
however, failed to find them. The
purse which contained the money was
found empty on the kitchen floor, and
some cards which it also contained
were scattered about.

COMPETITION
FOR mBELLEvLLE'S
TWO POLICE JOBS
Bonnell0 Is Said TO Be Certainly
Slated for One of the
Places.

There is some speculation in sBelle-
vile as to the appointment of the two
policemen which will be made next
week by the police committee. There
are a half dozen candidates in the field.
Rumor has it that Louis Bonnello, of
Silver Lake, Is slated for one of the
jobs. This seems to be taken for
granted by some of the chanceinen
seeking a position, as they are devoting
their efforts toward securing the other
position.
The names of James Hannah, VIII
lam Sullivan and Ferdinand Gilman
have been mentioned. The first two
are Democrats, and some believe that
as the township committee is Demo-
cratic, one of the two will receive the
appointment. Gilman, it Is UNDER
stood, is makingea strong bid for the
job.
1t is said that one of the Demo-
cratic committeeman holds to the view
that a Republican should be appointed,
and will vote for Gilman. This would
meal q vote of 3 to . for Gilmana if
the other two Democrats should vox,
for a Democrat.

CROWD WATCHESAS
BLOOMFIELD HERO
STOPS A RUNAWAY
Frightened Horse Dragged Hays,
but He Held on to
the End.

Thomas F. Hays, %janitor of the Gen.
trail firehouse in Bloomfield, saved a
score of persons from serious injury
or death Saturday night in thai town,
when a horse owned by an Italian
baker became frightened and ran away
in Bloomfield Centre. The driver WAS
thrown out, but escaped with a few
bruises. The animal turned in Wash
ington street and her made a dash
for the sidewalk, which was crowded
with people at the time.
Just as it seemed as if a number of
them would be knocked down Hays
sprang into the road and seized the
animal by the bride close to the bit.
He hung on Inc it looked to the spec
tators as If he would be trampled upon.
Hays finally brought the animal to a
full stop in front of DR.. Shaul's home.

BETTER MONTCLAIR,"
is IMPROVERS' CRY.
Mems Club of First Congrega-
tiOnal Church Discuss Subject.

THE Betterment of Montclair" was
the subject discussed yesterday after
noon in the First Congregational
Church. Montclair, by the mems club
of the church. The speakers were Ed
ward B. Osborne, John B. Wight and
Charles Whiting Baker.
MI. Wight, who is president of the
Montclair Civic Association, said that
men should be selected for office be-
u of their fitness and not because
they belonged to some party. He ad-
vocated the organizing of boards of
trade, citizens unions, etc, as a means
of selecting honorable men.
MI. Baker advocated the keeping of
politics out of public school boards.
The standard of Montelair schools
should be the best because of the
wealth and character of the citizens of
the town. Every child should have
sufficient education to fit it for self
support.
The object of the school is education.
The pupil should be taught to thing
for himself, not to be stuffed with what
others have thought. Cooperation of
parents is necessary; the Board of Edu-
cation and teachers must have. assist
ahce. If pupils have not the spirit To
learn, nothing a make up for it.
Montclair seeks every advantage money
can buy.
Edward b. Osborne, who is a member
of the Montclair Municipal Art Com
mission, advocated church work as use
full to the citizens. He referred to the
report of Mr.. Nolan on how to make
Montclair beautiful, which was pub
lished in THE EVENING STAR a few
weeks ago.

When the farmer feels like having a

negroes at night. In the daytime Still
uses him to keep the chickens
out of the garden, and at night he
uses him to keep negroes out of the
hen house. After dark the dog likes
the chickens so well hat a rooster
and four hens roost on his back every
night, and he never thinks of lying
down until day breaks and the rooster
crows. Then he gets after the chick-
ems, chases them all out of the house
and lies down and takes a nap.
There is one fowl on the ~Stillwagon
place, however, thai enjoys the admira-
ton and respect even of the dog. That
is a turkey hen. Fol years she has
Matched out large settings of chicken
eggs, and cared for the young chick
n afterward. She refuses absolutely
to have anything to do with turkey
eggs. The dog thinks SO much of that
turkey hen that when she leaves her
nest to feed he steps in gingerly and
lies down gently on the eggs to keep
them warm until the turkey hen re-
turns.
After that the dog goes to the wood
pile n carries wood into the kitchen,
one stick at a time, until the cook tells
him she has enough for the day. All
the Stillwagons think a lot of the dog.
The farmer says Diogones has the ini-
tiative now and that if he doesn't get
the referendum after he dies it will
be because a cog slipped in the plans
of nature.

of membraneous tissue filled with mill
lions of small nerves., which control

men could more comprehensively un-
