Mistake Doctors Home For
John D. Rockefeller, Jr. S.
CARETAKER RAISES AN ALARM
Woman Guarding House Drives Away
Burglars After Booty Had Been
Gathered-Poliee Think object
Was to Rob Oil Kings Son.

New York, Oct. 27.-Two burglars
broke into the four story marble and
brick mansion of Dr. Walter b. james
at II West Fhty-fourth street, evi-
IDENTIFY mistaking the house for that
occupied by John ID. Rockefeller, Jr.,
at 13.
Although the burglars were fright
ened away before they had time to
gather up valuables that they had
seized on the top floor, their advent
caused a lot of excitement and frantic
calls for the police.
The attempt to rob the house was a
desperate one. The burglars first went
to the roof of DR. James house and
then managed to jimmy open a win
dow at the rear of the top floor. The
window is several feet from the roof,
so it is supposed that one burglar held
the other head downward while the
window was being opened.
There was nobody at home in DR..
James house except the caretaker. a
woman. She was awakened by hear
ing some one moving on the top floor.
The woman c0urageOuSly went alone
to the top of the house to see who was
there, but when she got to the head of
the stairs the noise ceased.
Her investigations showed that ev-
erything of value on the floor had been
gathered together in readiness to be
carried away, but after making an in
ventory the caretaker found that moth
ing was missing.
Police headquarters was called by
telephone, and several detectives rush
ed to the house, but the burglars had
made good their escape.
1t is considered almost certain that
the burglars mistook DR. James house
for that Of the son Of the oil million
aire. Both are made of marble ano
red brick, the fronts are the same, ani
each front door has few steps lead
/ ing up to 1t.

WOES OF IOWA FARMER.
He's $500 a Year Behind, Says Expert
at Hearing.

Chicago, Oct. 27.-The prosperity of
the farmer is not all that it is cracked
up to be. In fact, in the state of Iowa,
where visions of bulging bins mislead
the casual observer with notions of
ease and plenty, the average farmer
who cultivates a quarter section of
land is out of pocket $500 a year.
That was the evidence given by a
former Iowa farmer H. G. Wallace, in
the interstate commerce commissions
freight rate hearing.
OF course the $500 loss is not actual
loss, explained Wallace. But the rea-
son the actual loss is covered is be-
cause the farmer does not count the
value of his own labor, and he makes
his children work instead of hiring
help. Then the average farmer does
without the things the city man con.
siders necessaries of life. His cloth
ing consists of a pair of overalls, a
shirt, pair of cotton socks and hat
that was given TO him as an advertise
ment. His best suit or Sunday clothes
costs him about SIS, where the aver
age man pays from $25 to $40.

J. H. JONES INDICTED.
Milk Corporation Man Accused of De-
frauding Farmers.

Binghamton, n. Y, Oct. 27.-The ar
ralgnment of j. Hallock Jones of New
York, secretary and treasurer of the j.
IL. Jones corporation, on three indict-
ments found by Cortland grand jury
created sensation in business circles
In this section.
The indictments charge that Jones,
through false representations and with
intent to defraud, secured the sigma
lures of members of the Marathon
Milk Producers association and com
mitted grand larceny in obtaining the
use of the factory of the Marathon
association and large quantity Of
milk
1t is alleged that Jones and his cor
poration induced the farmers TO take
their milk TO the creamery and that
the milk and its products We're after
ward shipped to New York without
compensation TO the producers. Jones
was arraigned before County Judge
Joseph Il. Eggleston, and bail was
fixed In the sum Of $1,000.

Redding, Conn, Oct 27.-The inven-
tory of Mark Twain's Samuel L.
ClemensO estate as returned by the
appraisers. Albert Bigelow Paine and
Harry A. Lounsbury, to the probate
court for the district of Reddng shows
a total Of $611, 1876, of which $4,000
represents realty and the remaining
$J41, 1876 personal property. The resi-
dence Stormfield and the 230 acres be-
longing to it are appraised at $4,000
and the cottage known as the Lobster
Pot, with its twenty acres, at $4,000.
The copyright values of the Mark
Twain books appear nowhere in the
list as such. The explanation of this
is that these values are grouped in the
valuation placed upon the assets Of
the Mark Twain company, which was
Incorporated a year or two before the
authors death and to which all the
copyrights were assigned. This com
pany is down on the inventory list n
100000.

EPISCOPAL CONVENTION ECHOES
Rev. A. L.. Whitaker Describes Work
at Cincinnati.

In his sermon of last Sunday, the
Rev. Albert L. Whitaker, rector of
the Grace Protestant Episcopal
church, referred to the General Con-
vention of his church whose conven-
ton at Cincinnati has just closed.
Among other things he said:
In the year, now classic, of 1885,
a step of faith was taken by the be-
loved church to which you and | be-
long. The general convention in Gin
cinnati has just been celebrating the
18th anniversary of the revolutionary
action then taken. Two clergymen
were elected missionary bishops, one
for the great Northwest, the other
for the vast southwest. The man
elected for the southwest, having no
faith in the stupendous task assigned
him, promptly declined. But Jack
son Kemper, with just as meager
prospects, had the grace to become,
as he has been called "the Bishop
of all outdoors" Even before this,
Philander Chase had got himself
elected Bishop of Ohio and paid his
own expenses, while doing his re-
markable work of starting colleges
and laying foundations of churches.
But Jackson Kemper was mission
airy bishop supported by the Episcopal
church at large. 1t was humble be-
ginning-one bishop, who had for his
/ equipment one church without a min
| lister in Missouri, and one young mis-
! sionary without a church to worship
| in Indiana How pitiful was the sup
! port accorded him may be seen from
an impassioned appeal which he made
to the church for help three years
! later-in 1898: / demand of the
! church, by virtue of my office and in
| the name of my divine Master, de-
mand some additional, able and de-
voted laborers. If the church wishes
me to work faithfully and steadily,
you must-indeed you must
strengthen my hands by sending me
more clergymen." But the clergy
men were not sent The bishop had
to work on alone with his difficulties
But he was a man to make the de-
sert bloom like the rose. From that
one missionary bishop supported by
the church in 1898 has grown q
mighty army. Bishops, priests, anC
deacons, doctors, teachers, nurses

sent out and maintained by the Epis
copal church in the U. S. to the mis-
