An Amazing Confession.
The Paris Journal today prints an
amazing confession by a Louvre thief
This person describes how he was able
to carry out series of thefts of objects
of art from the national museum He
has handed over to the paper a bust
measuring seven inches in length and
weighing fourteen pounds, which he took
from the collection of antiquities in May

This repentant thief, who says he is a
Belgian, and has profound acquaint-

come across grosser carelessness on the
part OF museum guardians than at the
Louvre. His first theft was carried out

After Eating Fill of Sweets.

Special Cablegram To The Star.
LONDON, September 16. Wasps
achieved the triumph of their lives al
Canbury Gardens, Kingston on Thames.
They invaded the Cavendish confection-
cry stores in such hordes that the pro-
prietress was compelled to close the shop
for five days and leave them to enjoy
their spoils.
They did SO. They ate many dollars
worth of sweets, and then. bloated with
their feast, We're chased from the field
of victory with paraffin and water.
Since the opening of the shop there
have been several other attempts at
raids by jealous wasps who were shut
out of the five-day feast. but the pro-
prietress was prepared for them, and
the slaughter has averaged 800 a day.
