HOUSE RuRcLARizED.
I've Men Work While o'connsiI Fam
 fly Slept.

About 1 o'clock Wednesday morning the residence of Michael O'Connell, 109 Pleasant street, was burglarfzed while the family was asleep. Entrance was effected through small window in the sink room at the rear of the house, The window was not fastened. The thieves went all over the first floor, ransacking all bureau drawers and cupboards and a trunk that was owned by MT. -O'ConnelI. There were two or more people. as Mrs. O'Connell heard voices, but did not think anything of it. as she thought they were out upon the street talking. She woke her hus- band and they both listened and came to the conclusion that there was some one in the house. Mir. sO'ConneH called out 'sWho is there?s which was frn- mediately followed by & hHrTying of feet and the slanaming of the back door. An investigation was made and it was found that the thieves had used a lamp in the kitchen, but the only thing missing as far as the O'Connells could find out was half a ham that was in the pantry, the platter being left on the table. The O,Connells believe that one man entered the window and then unlocked the door for his part ner.
 Mrs Kate Storms, who owns the house and lives above the O'Connell family, heard voices, but thought it was the .O'Connells talking downstairs. The door to the woodshed, which was locked, was broken open and some things inside were scattered about.

Pocket Guns and Belt Guns.

The absurdity of continuing to rely upon the concealed weapon prohibition as means of preventing the misuse of firearms is illustrated by a case just reported from Long Branch, N J. Having failed to secure a permit from the mayor of Seabright to carry a revolver resident of that town has stuck, a, pistol in his belt and is pa nrading the streets ill that fashion. He declares that he has had threatening letters growing out of bitter contro- versy between him and some of the other residents about fence he erect ed across one of the public roads Un- der the ordinances he cannot be mo- tested, although he walks the streets in Wild West fashion, ready to shoot ut a moments notice. The only differ ence between his assumed right to arm himself and his legal authorization is that if he had secured the required permit he could have put the pistol in his pocket. Thus all the law has ac- complished in this instance is to re- qufre him to carry the gun plainly in sight.
 This may happen in any community Where the only prohibition against gun carrying takes the form of d con- cealed weapon act or regulation. The are based is that a man with. a gun in his pocket, fs more dangerous than . man with a gun in sight. It Is in reality a. relic of the old frontier days when the hidden weapon was consid- cred as bad form and everybody who was anybody carried his arsenal i2 plain view, as a sufficient warning to all corners that he was ready for trou- ble.-Washington Star.

Nov EnsIand's industrial Revolution.


 The emptyings of congressional ora tory pouring forth in post session is sues of the Record bring to hand an informing speech by Representatdv tive Hill of Connecticut, the subject being the reciprocity bill He exhibits im- pressively the change in the economic life of New England within 2 period of two- thirds of 2 generation: a change recognized more or less vague ly by everybody. It is being reflected, of course, pretty much all over the country at the present. time, but, in New England, it has progressed so far that the effects and consequences can be studied in the concrete. In the judgment of Mir. Hill here has oc- cured the most remarkable indus trial revolution ever made in the his- tory of the world since Adam and Eve were driven from the Garden of Eden" A salient item is that, in the period of twenty years between the census of 1880 and 1900, 15,34l farms in New England went out of existence. Dur ing the period of the diminishing local production of foodsthns thus shown the population increased a million and one half While five million acres of land went out Of tillage and cultiva- tfon more than twenty i've thousand factories SpFang up in New England, Providence Journal.
