A WHOLESALE STEAL.

i Graft has been so abundant of late
years in the government Of the States
and municipalities that the public
now evinees no surprise when a new
case crops ont. Such crimes have
been committed in the North, the
I West and the extreme South, but
happily, we had thought, Maryland
/ had escaped such scandals. The de-
bauch Of the State Treasury by the
late Stephenson Archer was a stigma
upon its good name for long while,
but time has almost effaced the mem
ory Of his theft, and we have since
lived under the soubriquet of "a
State without graft" And in sense
we still so live. But our great me
tropolis-Baltimore City-has fallen
a victim TO seourge, and as our
State and only real large city are SO
closely interviewer in personal rela-
tionship and civic responsibilities the
misfortune Of one is practically the
misfortune of the other. While the
State Treasury has escaped the
clutches Of a villain, Baltimore City
has been flched of large sum of
money by the commonest kind of 9
sneak thief A picayune clerk in the
City Comptroller's offices has been
allowed to steal $4,000 of the city's
money, and he did the job with the
ease wayside loafer robs chicken
roost. The duty of the thief was to
make daily deposits Of the city's
money in one of the banks of that
city, sometimes the amount reaching
more than $4,000. He would take
of the money given him to deposit
what be pleased and alter the deposit
slip, and his rascality was accom-
plished. The practice went on for
more than two years, and would not
then have been discovered but for a
bank clerk who noticed a trifling
shortage in balancing the account of
Of the bank with the city.
The employment OF cheap man
for such an important work, in the
first place, was criminal, and the
looseness of manner in which the
finances of the city were looked at
ter surpasses all condemnation. Pol
tics cannot figure in the Nervousness
of the crime 1t is case altogether
of personal responsibility, and lots Oh
people are responsible. The officials
who appointed Downs are culpable
the latter's superior officers who al
lowed him such latitude with the
eity's money are culpabIe, as well as
the thief, and the measure of punish
ment to be melted out to all eaboodle
cannot be too severe.
Public officers who will not know
their duties should be made to feel
the consequences of their folly.

BOLGIANO'S
RE-CLEANED COW PEAS

Sow them for hay cFops-for forage
crops-on vacant land. Put Cow Peas
in every available piece of land you
have. They will wonderfully increase
the value and productiveness of your
farm. We strongly recommend the
sowing of Mixed Cow Peas. They are
composed of Blacks, Whip-poor-wills,
Clays, &c. The upright growing varie-
ties will hold up the vining varieties and
will produce much better crops of vines
and larger amount of forage.

CITIZENS COMPLAIN OF
SALTAIR SALT COMPANY

A delegation of citizens from the south
western part of the city waited on City
Health Commissioner DIR, NJ. r. Stewart
Tuesday. with a complaint about the re-
Gently rcmodeled and installed factory Of
the Saltair Salt company OH Ninth South
between Second and Third West streets.
The mill when IL is In operation. 1t Is
alleged, raises a cloud Of salt dust, which
spreads over and envelopes the whole
ncighborhood. This dust has killed much
Of the vegetation and settled over houses
10 the depth OF an eighth Of an inch In
some cases. The landscape Is coated with
a deep layer Of it, II is said.
The citizens claim the plant produces
an unllea1tbfuI condition and they want
it declared a nuisance and closed down.
DR. Stewart took the matter under ad :
viscment until he can make an inves-
tigation.
III fairness to the salt company, It Is
said that since the complaints became
numerous the factory has been run most
~ of nights and the conditions complained
OF are not 80 bad.
Among the complainants are Owen My

MORE ROBBER|ES
Being REPORTED
Five New Cases Are Brought TO
the Attention of the Police
Department.
PROBABLY THE WORK
OF RANK AMATEURS
Indications Are That Migrants
and Tramps Are Doing
the Work.

Five more robbcries, all Of which
were of petty nature, were reported
10 the police Tuesday morning. The
police, however, were unable to oh
lain any clue as to the identity of the
robbers, but it is believed that they arc
members of the same gang which has
been operating in the city for the last
week. Two of the places broken into
Monday night or early Tuesday morn
ing were assay Offices, the Bird -Cowan
company, 100 South West Temple
street, and Crismon & Nichols, just north
Df tho Bird Cowan office.
Tho thieves were evidently in search
of gold bullion. but this was locked in
the safes at both of the offices and
there were no signs that the robbers
tried to touch the safes. at the Bird
Cowan office the burglars made away
with some valuable weights and other
assaying apparatus. Entrance was
gained to both offices by means of 4
"jimmy.'' with which the back doors
We're forced open.
The three other robbcrics which were
committed either Monday night or
Tuesday morning. and which were re-
ported to the police yesterdayS morn
ing, were the Barnes Grocery company,
Mathcz G. Co, l5S South West Temple,
and the Sparks Candy company, 223
South West Temple. At the Barnes
grocery store entrance was gained
through the front door by means of a
"limmy.H The thieves took Sc from

crackers, rolls, and quantity of
canned goods. AZ BEETLES, Mathoz &
Co.'S office entrance was gained
through rear window, but nothing of
value was found missing.
Sparks Company Favored
The Sparks Candy company's store
WAS visited for the second time in three
nights and quantity Of caudv, chew
ing gum and other sweetmcats were
found TO be missing. 4 brick was found
inside of the factory. and it is believed
that this missile was thrown through
the window in order to break the glass
and gain entrance. While this theft
ght have been simply the work of
boys, it does not seem probable, as it is
in the immediate ncighborhood where
the other robberies were committed.
The police are not of the theory that
an organized gang of professional high
waymeu are operating in the city, as
the various crimes have all been too
petty in character to indicate this 1t
is more probable that the recent bur-
glaries have been committed by scat
tered gangs Of vagrants and tramps,
who have simply been breaking into
the places for the purpose of securing
n dollar or so. The police are keeping
a close lookout and it is hoped that
some of the miscreants Will soon be

Barn Dancing a Fashionable Exercise.

Barn dancing is being turned into a
fashionable exercise. But don't think
barn dancing" means dancing in a
barn. 1t simply implies an old
fashioned, vigorous square" dance.
Fencing has made many woman
gracefully slender and developed her
wits as well as her arms, yet fencing
is not as much in vogue as It used to
be. The barn dance is the thing to
bring a fat girl down to the right pro-
portions for the bolster case empire
gown. When half dozen girls get to-
gether now 1t is likely they will fling
about with great vigor in the barn
dance. But there Is one drawback.
Such dancing does not suit the way
most women wear their heir. Puts
and cGrls strew Tic floor and such OK
hibits are embarrassing.
