nish one of the most thoughtful sur.
prises of the evening, which consisted
of nice box of candy with card
inscribed, "For the lady who could
not attend" and card stating that
it's was presented with his compli.
ments. In passing, let us say that
the candy came from the Broadway
Pharmacy and Crammattes Sweet
Shop.
Then again, Blyth & Blyth were
not so very slow, and knew what it
takes to top off good meal, viz: A
Think of Me" perfecto, so they fur
nished generous supply for all pres
ent. These cigars are made by l.. l..
Maley, Aberdeen.
Smiths dairy came to the front with
an individual bottle of milk, proper
ly labeled, for every guest. 1t was
much appreciated.
The makers of 'Lifestaff' also fur
nished generous supply of that
product but the peculiar thing about
this is that not more than one bottle
in ten was opened. This is a mys-
terry too deep for us to explain. Is
it because the "recoil and kick" is
absent, and as a drink it is a -four
flusher"?
Goodbar Jones was the official an.
nouncer of the kilograms which were
delivered by uniformed messengers.
Everyone spoke of the perfect SER
vice and the truly fine dinner which
was really 81 spread. Mr.. Morck
did himself proud.
While there were some gentle roasts
and speaking minus embroidery, trim
ming or lace, still it was all taken in
good part as 1t was all intended for
the good of our fine city.
Brother Mack knows how to tell a
story with good effect. The one about
the darky and the assafoetida was
somewhat highly perfumed.
Just how a good hotel man knows
how to give you an excellent suffi-
cheney of food and yet not too much
is surely an artistic triumph.
The meeting "shut up shop" in good
time so that "wifey dear" did not
have a kick coming. Good biz!
Toastmaster Clark did not allow
any "pralimbinaries" but got right
down to cases and kept it going that
way.
That benign smile thaat w. B. Mack
wears and the fatherly watchfulness
exercised over the whole assembly
is worth going a long way to see.
Five representatives of the churches
were in attendance, thus giving the
enterprise the sanction and encourage
ment of the enlightened church and
giving emphasis to the scriptural in
junction "to be instant in business"
A few "high brows" were present
but they did not appear to "cut much
ice"
Some day we expect to be million
aire editor. Then it will be our turn
to look down in a patronizing way upon
such gatherings, but just now we are
scratching gravel"
George ]. Wolff certainly added
much to the value which will accrue,
If the ideas he gave are followed out;
he argued that the proposition be made
very wide in it's scope.

Charged with petit larceny, Wilbur
Sharp pleaded not guilty when ar

at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning.
Sharp, with several other negroes,
entered James Smiths home on East
Ohio avenue late Monday afternoon
and, when Smith refused to pay back
to Sharp so cents he had borrowed
Sunday, Sharp snatched up a shot
gun and threatened to throw it away
Some of Smiths friends told Sharp
that IL he would lay the articles down
they would pay him the sixty cents
that Smith owed him. This took
place in the presence of Smith who,
1t is asserted, was under the infiu-
ence of liquor All of this Sharp ad.

However, later in the afternoon, it
is alleged that Sharp again entered
the Smith home, but this time during
the absence of Smith and the family,
and took the shotgun, several pints
of whiskey and broke open the
baby"s bank from which he took the
$770 that was I'm 1t. This was the
charge to which Sharp pleaded not
guilty
The affidavit having been filed,
Sharp and his companion, Ed. Mel
sand, were found and arrested. In
the search which the police made,
they found part of a dollar bill that
was placed in the child's bank in two
pieces. When MeIsand was searched
the other half was found, showing
that the two negroes we're probably
in league with each other. They were
then placed in the county Jail to
await their arraignment.
When Sharp was arraigned Tues
day morning, he pleaded not guilty to
the charge of petit larceny, after
which he was placed i'm the county
lookup once more-this time to await
his hearing which will be held We'd

SAFE-BLOWERS
ARE ROUTED BY
PISTOL SHOTS
Rifling Of Croton Bank Is
Halted In Nick
Of Time
ESCAPE ON HAND CAR
Robbers Detected BY Passing Couple
Had Previously Stolen Guns
And Money From PEBBLES
Hardware Store

Croton, Nov 21-Frightened by
several sharp reports of a revolver,
would.be bank robbers who attempt
ed to blow the safe of the Croton
bank early this morning between 2
and o'clock, confscated a hand-car
and escaped over the T. &, o. C. rail
road after being entirely unsuccessful
In their attempts to rob the bank, but
after securing several revolvers, some
ammunition and S. in cash at PEBBLES
hardware store.
Erles Hoover and DR.. Lyman Of
this place were walking down the
street directly opposite the bank
when Mr.. Hoover noticed several men
in the bank, but was unable to distin-
guish just how many there were in
the group. Mr.. Hoover hurried to his
home near by where he secured a re.
volyer and, nearing the bank, fired
several times in order to scare the
men away if possible.
The would-be safe-blowers escaped
from the rear and fired at DR.. Lyman,
but with poor aim, as the bullet did
not go very close to her. Mr.. Hoov-
er and DR.. Lyman did not go in pur'
suit of the men on account Of short
age of ammunition.
The criminals gained the T. & o.
C. tracks and, hand-car being close
by. they seized this article and raced
down the track at remarkable
speed.
Mr.. Hoover then aroused several
men of the town and hasty examt-
nation was made of the safe and 9th
er things. 1t was found that the Grim.
inals had attempted to blow the safe
three times, but were unsuccessful
in all three cases, the only damage
being the shatteriug OF the glass front
Of the building in which the bank is
situated. Although it is known how
the men escaped, it is a question as
to how they gained an entrance TO
tho bank
After finding that nothing was TAX
en- from the bank, a message came
from Mr.. PEBBLE, the proprietor OF
the hardware store, stating that sew
eral guns were gone from his store
along with some ammunition and S.
III cash. From the fact that the rob
bers had no guns with them and on
account of their awkwardness in try
ing to blow the safe, it is thought
that they we're not professional rob
bers, but rather just tramps who had
seized the opportunity to obtain some
money.
No pursuit was given the bank rob
bers, but the sheriifs of the surround
ing counties were notified of the in
cident and asked to keep a sharI
watch for them.

CONCERT co.

Course Attractive
FOLK SONGS FEATURE
Native Costumes Worn BY Younu
Ladies' In Interpreting Numbers
Bird Imtator Scores Big
Hit With Audience

A very appreciative audience greet
ed the Dearborn Concert company,
composed of three young ladies who
certainly possess ability along music
al lines and who were the entertain
ers at the first number of the lyceum
course which is being given for the
benefit of the NJ. p. church on North
Mulberry street. This first number
entertained large audience at the
NJ. P. church Monday evening with a
musical. program that was selected in
manner which would appeal to ev-
eryone.
The first number on their program
was popular selection in which all
three young ladies' participated in
making it very pleasing as the spirit
and animation which they gave it
we're the necessary things.
There were some very typical folk
songs, all Of which we're rendered in
manner that was suggestive of the
character of the people they repre-
sented. These we're rendered on the
violin with piano accompaniment and
took the house from the beginning.
For instance, the Hungarian folk
songs-these were rendered in the
carefree manner which is so charac-
teristic OF that people.
After responding to very urgent
encore, the entertainers rendered
some Of our old southern melodies
which appealed to the entire audi
ence. These were sung to an accom-
paniment by a mandolin and guitar
and were probably the best on the
whole program.
In direct contrast to the sweet
southern songs, new preparedness
song was introduced by the trio,
Wake Up, America!" This being
one of the current topics and one fav-
ored by the majority of American
people, it was received with great en-
thusiasm by all
Several interesting, as we'll as well
rendered, bird songs were whistled to
the piano accompaniment and were
received with a great deal of ap-
plause, particularly as the young lady
who rendered them has made study
of the bird notes and worked them in
to her selections with amazing cas-
and familiarity.
Following this rendition number
of folk songs were sung by different
members of the company in the ap
propriate apparels and costumes. In
these renditions the Japanese, the
Hawaiian and the Irish peoples were
the subjects and all were depicted by
the dual means of their music and
their dress.
Finally, the young ladies rendered
the Good Night Song" from the op
era, Martha. This closed the pro
gram that afforded so large an audi
ence such an enjoyable evening.
