FUR COMPANY ROBBED.

Bridgeport, Aug. 5.-The store of the Royal Fur company on Fairfield avenue was robbed some time during last night of furs valued between $4,OOO and $6,0OO. One large show case was completely emptied. Among the articles taken was a fur coat owned by John T. King, republican leader in this city. There was no evidence of a break and the police are puzzled regarding the manner in which the thieves gained entrance.

Is there any limit to rowdyism, any point at which street gamins of unfor- tunate percentage and no training will stop in plotting against the peace and comfort of lenient and half-governed cities? Boston must doubt it. The lat est outrage, the planting of dynamite on railroad tracks by Hyde Park boys who had stolen fifty pounds of the ex- plosive, is the most serious of a number of accidents which call for a study. of hoodlumism and strict meas ures to prevent it. Boston and a num- Der of other Massachusetts cities, in- cluding Brockton, are breeding hood lums faster than the jails and reform atories can grow.-Brockton Times.

In Massachusetts preparations are being made to, enforce a law which covers the cases of people who leave their homes and make no provision for their pet cats. The practice is cruel one-for the cats often die of starvation. These animals are sing
 ularlN attached to localities and are not capable of taking care of them selves in neighborhoods where food is not placed before them regularly. The abandonment of the pets may be due to thoughtlessness, but whatever the reason offered may be, there is no valid excuse for condemning them to slow death.-Providence Journal

Workers..

AMES, Iowa, Aug. 2S.-The twenty
men in the convict road making camp
at Ames are to receive a raise of 8
cents an hour in wages as the result
of their first weeks showing at the
Iowa State college.
They started work at 20 cents an
hour with the understanding that II
the showing was satisfactory they
would be raised. State Highway En-
gineer Macdonald has already an
~ncunced that they will be paid at the
rate Of % cents per hour starting this
week, AS yet the men have not
| started on the road building proper,
they being kept busy on a number of
smaller jobs for the college proper.
During the present week, however,
they will tackle the job of oiling dirt
and gravel roads and begin cutting
the north road through the college
campus.
The men are enjoying the freedom
from restraint and are taking hold
of every job to which they are put
