WHEELING. April 2s.-The Bel

what seems to have been an incen.

had been no developments such as
would serve to place the guilt.
There Is every reason to believe
that the building was set on fire to
cover the traces of a robbery commit.
ted, since one or two minor articles.
which had been kept in the wareroom,
were found at some distance from the
building after the fire.
The fire was discovered about four

building being in a sparsely settled
community nothing corh be done to.

contents, and the loss was complete.
The building, owned by A. j. Ramage,
was worth probably $4,000, and the
store. carrying a stock worth as much
more. was owned by a firm named
Ault c Perkins. Insurance to the
amount of s1.5OO only on building and
contents was carried. while the loss
on postofice fixtures and stamps also
will beconsiderable.
The authorities have hopes of run.
ming down the guilty parties, since It
is believed that at least a wagon load
of stock was carried away and it will
be almost impossible to secrete so
much.

AGE NO MARK OF DISCRETION
New Ycrk Police Statistics Prove a
 f..ost LamentabIe Fact.

A woman shoplifter wEo had passed the P@almist's allotted period, and who had a long record of offenses be- lind her, was sent to prison a-ain the 1ther day, and in the printed accounts much was made of her years, as if age and misdemeanor were strangers. As a matter of fact, among women, youth and disdemeanor are strangers if we make the test of the matter the fact of falling into the laws clutches.
 More than half the women offenders of New York are classified in the re port of the state prison commission as middle aged or elderly omen" Of the 66l4 women sentcn ced to the Blackwells Island workhouse during the last year, 3.463 were more than 90 years old. About one in 15 of the number were legal minors. Disorder ly conduct and public intoXication ac- counted for all but a few hundreds of the entire number.
 There is really no surprise in these figures, for the spectacle of gray hairs without honor is not unfamiliar in any of our small parks. It would be su- Derfiuous to point the moral-and Horace has done it already in his warnings to Lalage and Chloe.

No Drums in the Middle Ages.

As we come to the Middle Ages, when the nations of modern Europe were struggling into existence, we find that at first. the drum was not used at all So. although melody had been known and practiced for many cen turnes, rhythm had been quite forgot ten. For what there is left to us of the music of the Middle Ages contains no bars, and we know that 1t was slowly and monotonously chanted, without the least accent
 In the eleventh century, however, things began to improve, more par ticularly as the Crusaders brought into Europe all sorts of percussion instru- ments from the east. Various kinds of drums, tambourines and cymbals were then seen in Europe for the first time since the days of savages, and they have been used, with very little change, ever since-St. Nicholas.
