1t would seem that the burglary was
the work Of some person who was fa-
miliar with the office, and small per-
son at that, for the space between the
bars caused by the cutting of one of
them is not sufficient to permit of the
passage Of large body. The window
was not locked, so that the thief, after
cutting through the bar, had easy
work in raising the window and MAX
ing his entrance.
The police are working on the mat
ter, but have very little on which to
start their operations.
This burglary recalls the burglary
of last Friday week, when McTighes
saloon reported the loss of 500 and a
few bottles of wine Nothing has been
discovered regarding this matter, it
being hard to understand how the
thief entered the premises.

clubs in this city, inviting each to Sc
lect a representative to meet him for
the purpose of discussing various mat
ters relative to the extension of the
water works. While the plans for this
extension have been made, the Public
Works Superintendent realizes that
there may be particular matters in
the various district which can be rem
dered easier of improvement or extern
sion through the suggestions of rep
resentatives from the various dis
tricts.
1t must be understood, however
that individual suggestions must iibe
with the whole scheme; that what
ever may be suggested in the way of
particular changes from the original
plan must not in any way Interfere
with the general scheme. The super
intendeTS is not in any way obliged to
follow the ideas of individual districts
as presented by the Improvement club
representatives but he welcomes the
advantage of hearing from all with =
view to perfecting, as near as pos
sible, the entire water system.

If she had seen her mother and on
getting a negative reply suggested
that she search for her. adding that
she might have fallen in a cistern.
A search was made and a couple of
cisterns were searched without sue
cess, but in a cistern down a gully,
the dead body of the woman was
found, death being apparently due
to drowning.
The coroner's jury held on investi-
cation into the matter and returned
4 verdict of suicide, which was gen.
orally received with dissatisfaction.
After the death of the mother the
Portuguese community endeavored to
see the daughter of the dead woman
but were unable to see her, as the
Japanese had her locked in a room.
The Portuguese are said to be con-
siderably worked up over the matter
and are demanding that the matter
be reopened, as. foul play is alleged.

Correct Way to Roll Umbrella.

A badly rolled up umbrella, besides
looking unsightly, does not wear half
as long as it ought to. The process OF
rolling an umbrella is very simply.
The majority hold it by the handle and
keep twisting the stick with one hand,
while with the other they twist and
roll the silk. Instead Of this they
should take hold OF the umbrella just
above the ribs Of the cover. These
points naturally lie evenly with the
stick. They should be kept hold OF
and pressed tightly against the stock
and then the cover should be rolled up.
Holding the ribs thus prevents them
from getting twisted out Of place or
bending out Of shape, and the silk is
bound to follow evenly and roll smooth
and tight If an umbrella Is rolled in
this fashion it viii look as If newly
bought for long time Boston Her

Freed His Mind IN His Vvlll.

Among curious Wills that Of cer-
tain DR.. Dunlap, Canadian, has often
been quoted. It probably contained
some Of the most maliciously express-
ed requests on record. To one BROTH
.er the doctor left his books so that he
might learn to read and acquire COM
mon sense. To another brother he left
his big silver watch that the said
brother might know the hour at which
men ought to get up Of a morning. To
his brother-in-laW he left his best pipe
''in gratitude that he married my sis-
ter Maggie, whom no man Of taste
would ever have taken,,. and to the
eldest son Of friend he left silver
tankard lest II he left it to the friend
himself, who was rabid teetotaler,
the latter might melt it down to cast
temperance medals. To one Of his sis
tiers he left silver drink cup ''for rea-
sons best known to herself" to anpth-
er the family Bible. so that she might
learn as much of its spirit as she al.
ready knew of its letter and become q
better Christian. and to his eldest sis
ter q five acre field to console her for
being married to man that she had
to henpeck. Chambers Journal

Wall Street Superstition.

Almost all the Wall street specula-
tors are superstitious fellows who be-
lieve in charms and amulets. In their
pockets they carry lucky coins, rab-
bits foot, a horse chestnut or some
thing of the kind. One Wall street
man. much envied by his companions,
has short piece Of hangman's rope
to conjure with. Many Of the custom
ers in the offices are even more credu-
lous than the professional traders in
their belief In signs and omens. There
is a deep seated tradition that Tues
day is '1ow day. In a "bull market
and sshigh day. in "bear market"
Some persons speculate on ''systems,' =
and others employ charts" Once
they exploited machine in Wall
street known as a market register"
It was about as effective as helping
anybody to win at Stock Exchange
speculation as it is to rub up against a
hunchback for luck just before you bet
on a horse race.-Munsey's Magazine.

that could never be cursed with the

tiny buckle: strangely simple even

Of her slender body. Quickly four

THE GOLDEN CAT.


Legend Of the Founding Of Persian
College at Meshsd-
The following story from the Per
sian manuscript Of which a transla-
ton has been published under the title
'sThe Glory OF the Shia World" reads
like a passage In the Arabian
Nights" 1t tells Of a Persian at
Meshed who had founded a college
with wealth gained in remarkable
manner:
One day rich merchant asked him
whether he was willing to work at a
place to which he would be conducted
blindfOided. Being fearless Kerma-
nj and very poor. he agreed, ana was
led through many streets to a court
yard, where the bandage was remov-
ed. and he was ordered to dig a hole
and bury gold coins and jewelry. This
he did for several days. and. being
searched before he left, he saw no
chance of lettering his condition.
However, one day he saw a cat,
which he killed and ripped open. He
then sewed up some money and jew
els inside it and threw it over the
wall. After this, when his work was
done, he wandered about until he
found the cat and not only secured the
money hidden In its body, but also
learned the position Of the house.
Its owner shortly afterward died,
and the astute Kermani bought his
house with the gold sewed up inside the
cat AS the merchant had never re-
vealed his secret to any one he became
bis heir and. in turn, when dying, be-
Queathed his money for the pious task
Of founding and maintaining a col
