THIEVES VISIT MAURER HOME
Ranssck the House wAue Family j,
Absent.


Discovery was made yesterday after
noon that the residence OF william A.
Maurer at S1 Second avenue had been
ransacked by burglars, presumably some
time Wednesday evening or night. Mr..
and Mrs. Maurer left for ar extended
trip to the south a few days ago and the
house had been unoccupied since.
II Is believed that the burglars secured
considerable booty, although what was
stolen can not be ascertained until Mr..
and Mrs. Maurer are heard from. Mrs,
Maurer's seal skin Jacket and a fur lined
overcoat belonging to Mr.. Maurer, which
are said to have been left In the house,
are missing. Most of the silverware is
believed TO have been placed by Mr..
Maurer in the safe in his store before
leaving home. Rhe house was ransacked
from top to bottom and when w. j.
Heiser, Mr.. Mauers nephew and general
manager of Mr.. Maurer's business, went
through the rooms yesterday afternoon
he found the drawers from bureaus and
cupboards on the floors of the different
rooms and their contents scattered about.
Entrance had been effected by breaking
out the glass of the lower part of one of
the windows of the front room opening on
the porch. The burglar or burglars left
the house by the kitchen door in the rear
which was found open. The slips had been
removed from two pillows on the bed in
the front room upstairs and it is. supposed
they were used by the burglars to carry
their booty away in.
A little niece of City Treasurer F. I.
True, who lives nearby, noticed the broken
window on her way home from school
yesterday afternoon and she reported the
fact to her uncle. The little girl recalled
having seen a TRANCE man standing on
the porch of the Maurer residence Wednes-
day evening as she was returning home
from her music lesson and it is thought
likely that the fellow was keeping watch
outside while a partner was going through
the place inside. Mr.. True notified Mr..
Heiser and the police and an investigation
Of the house was made, disclosing that
the place had been thoroughly ransacked.

To the Cranberry.

Let others praise in fervent lays
The plump Thanksgiving bird,
And let them sing of leg and wing,
With old Pegasus spurred
Until his speed is great indeed
And all is blthe and merry
But let me sing that splendid thing,
The succulent cranberry.
o humble fruit, we've long been mute
Upon thy many charmsl
With nipping zest you do your best
To ward dyspepsia's harms.
Both sour and sweet you sauce the meat
Your flavor does not vary
Retiring, coy, yet full of joy
. marVelous cranberry!
About you hangs a taste that tangs
The food that would be harsh.
Your plump skins filled with dew, dis.
titled
Above the sun kissed marsh.
No grape. III say, of old Tokay
Or from Oporto airy
Drips with a wine as rich as thine,
o excellent cranberry!
OF ruby hue. a jewel. too
To grace the festal board.
With lavish heart you give your part
Give all your spicy hoard.
When eager Tipped we've sat and slipped
The juice that vies with sherry
All, OF the feast you're not the least.
Mellifiuous cranberry
So let them praise in lifting lays
The turkey and the pie,
But let me sing that splendid thing
That makes the heart beat high.
| would not waste one shade of taste,
I'd drain the dictionary
To find more ways TO sing the praise
OF thee, D rare cranberry!

From the pages of Augusta J. Evans
famous novel of the South, st Elmo"
Neil Twomey has evolved drama which
will have local hearing at The Colonial

the public half century ago, the book
has been among the most popular of the
works of native authors. and two gener-
ations have testified to its excellence. To
the dramatist it has always presented a
particularly difficult task, and if the as
sertion of the management of "St Elmo"
is to be credited to the effect that Mr..
Twomey's labor has brought forth
drama that will appeal to the most cap
tious critic, he has achi we'd most nota-

and has the advantage of fitting scenic
