Seized with a Sadden Fit of Deafness She Sends the Proprietor for Paper While She Does the Kest. Sarah Brlce, a stylish .looking mulatto girl of eighteen, has an Ingenious method of supplying herself with Jewelry. Yesterday she helped herself to a tray of rings at the Jewelry store of Henry Schergen, No. 151 East Washington street, by the adoption of a novel plan. She walked Into the store about 4 o'clock and asked to see some gold rings. The proprietor himself waited upon the woman, and set before her a tray of ordinary gold bands. She looked them over carefully, and then requerted to be shown some earrings. While carelessly looking over the latter article of Jewelry the proprietor noticed that the woman acted queerly. riaclng her hand to her ear she exclaimed that she had suddenly been attacked with, a peculiar form of deafness, explaining at the same 'Ime that she had long been afflicted with ;he distressing complaint, which invariably came upon her unawares. Then she priced an earring, but complained that she could not hear the proprietor's reply, and asked him to write it out for her. He turned his back, for a moment to secure a piece of paper, and while iu the act the hand of his customer was busy with the tray of flngerrlngs. When he returned to her she was busy with the eamngB. A few moments later the woman walked out without having purchase!. After she naci gone the proprietor missed several rings from the tray, and at once set out to follow the thief. From his store she went directly to the Feiler Jewlry establishment two squares east and was preparing to work the same game. Schergen hastened to police headquarters and Sergenat Stout was sent out to capture the woman. was yet in Feller's store, but had not had time to put her scheme into operation. She was locked up on the charge of petit larceny. AMUSEMENTS. There will be matinees at all the city theaters to-day and concluding perform ances by the various attractions to-night. At the matinee at English's the ladies in attendance will receive a pretty souvenir, In the shape of pictures of Miss Ellsler and scenes from "Doris," which will then be presented.

Pearson's picturesque pro duction of "The District Fair" will be the Park Theater's attraction all next week. An exciting hurdle race and other sensa tional scenes in the piece, have made it a great go wherever it has been presented. The attraction at English's the first nurt of next week, will be FitZ and Webster's "A Hreczy Time," which is described as a larce comedy with an abundance of fun and a paucity of terioua Interest. In other words, its purpose is to divert rather than to engross the attention. It belles the general opinion that a farce comedy cannot have a coherent plot. In point of fact it has a scheme of interest that runs throughout the entire play, and that i? only strong enough to hang upon it a series of specialty performances of a high order and enjoyable nature. .Mr. J. K. Emmet will play at the Grand Opera House the first three nights of next week In his new comedy, "Fritz In a Madhouse." which presents a pretty story In which the child interest (so essential to a rrttz play) Is maintained.

EFFORT FOR LIBERTY

. r jjesperaie iurgiars uome i eariicHole in the Wall Found in the Station Houses 3Ien Kesponsible for Many Kotberies Caught. ' Ed Carroll and Ed Grlffln. two burglars confined at police station, made a bold at tempt to escape yesterday afternoon. The men were arrested early yesterday morning by detectives Kinney, Iiichards and Thornton at No. 79 Fayette street. The prisoners were directly charged with burglary and house breaking, and in partial confessions made to the police, admit to many offenses which have been puz zling the officers for several months. Carroll has already " done time" at the northern prison and Grlffln Is well known as a gentleman of decidedly light-fingered propensities. It is known that the men robbed Barry's tailoring establishment on Virginia avenue some weeks ago. They carried off fctfO worth of fine cloth and sev eral pairs of made-up trowsers, one pair of which was found by the officers yesterday morning In Carroll's room. A portion of the cloth was also found. The rest of the roods, the prisoners say, can be found at Richmond. It is also definitely known that the men burglarized the Indianapolis creamery last week, taking away, besides a few dollars in cash, a large quantity of cigars from the store adjoining the estab lishment. Some of the cigars found In the house where the prisoners were captured served to strengthen the case against them. Two weeks ago the saloon at the corner of West and Ninth streets was robbed, and when the proprietor opened his door the next morning the following card stared him in the face: 'Your port wine Is very fine. The num ber of your clock is 9332." On investiga tion the mystified proprietor discovered that hl3 sliver-mounted clock was missing. It is believed that Carroll and Grlffln are responsible for this theft and its Jocular incident. The detectives say that a score or more small Jobs of house breaking will v rt thA nrisoners. urz ll aL r- m - - in addition to a half dozen cases of safeblowing.

The convocation in the interest of relig ious education to be held in Tabernacle Church, beginning Monday evening next, and continuing through the day following. deserves more than a passing notice. The theme itself is of primary importance, and It will be handled by about twenty repre sentative ministers from various parts of the State, whose names are guarantees that all who attend will be well repaid. The family, the Sunday school, the closet. the pulpit and the college, as agents for Imparting a knowledge of sacred things, will pass under review. What those Insti tutions are, what they ought to be, what modifications ought to be made in exist ing methods will be freely considered, each speaker having the utmost liberty to ex press his own thoughts. Presbyterians, Baptists, Methodists, Congregationalisms, Episcopalians and other religionists are In vited to participate in the deliberations, to contribute their best thoughts and to bear away to their fields of labor whatever the others may offer for their assistance. This convocation la held under the au spices of the American Society of Relig ious Education. It is a part of a plan by which that society seeks to enlist the best minds of the Nation in a searching and original stuay of the subject Twenty oth er convocations will bo held In various cit ies before September of next year. In each instance the same themes will be consid ered, thereby concentrating thought and furnishing a symposium of great value. The Indianapolis convocation will be In diana s contribution, and will form an Im portant part of the national deliverance made upon this pressing question of the hour. If the papers from various convoca tions are gathered up and published, as Is proposed, there, will be some interesting literature. It is understood that this movement has been Inaugurated because prominent minis ters and laymen feel that existing agen cies and methods are inadequate, that new agencies and methods must be devised and employed. The welfare of the church and the State, the cultivation of the highest Christian character and the prosierity of the church all demand that as speedily as possible religious education should Ikj lifted to the same level as secular education.

THE TRAINING SCHOOL

Not Enoujrh Members of the Board Present Last Niirlit to Take Action Xoltinar's Bid oil Excavations the Lowest Finances of the School Special Meeting To-Xiffht. There was not a quorum present at the meeting of the School Board last night, and the consideration of reports was postponed until to-night, when there will be an extra called session for the consideration of reports left over from October and the business of last night. Mr. Frenzel said that he supposed the missing members of the board were under the impression that yesterday was Monday, or else their Thanksgiving dinners had proven too much for them. About the only matter of Importance which came before the board last night was from the committee on manual training school, which submitted estimates from the architect, Mr. Scherrer, on the buildings to be erected, at Madison avenue and Meridian street. Bids on the excava tions have been received and run from Jl,4(i0 to $3,000. Henry N. Nolting, being the lowest bidder, will have thousands of loads of earth to haul away at ruinously low figures. The board Is of tho opinion that they have actually saved about $1,000 byletting these bids now. Mr. Nolting stated that he had a number of teams and men out of employment and that the work even at that figure was better than none. The architect estimates that the buildings will cost less than $175,000, yet this exceeds the amount appropriated by $23,000. The equip ments necessary are estimated to cost $23,000. The amount on hands in the manual training school fund, June 30, 1SD1, is put at $50,000, plus the November collection of $20,000, making $70,000, less the expense of operating tho school, for 1831-5, which is $10,000, leaving $00,000, the amount available during the next year. The 5-per-cent levy Is estimated to realize $30,000. The yearly income is not all available for payments on buildings and equipments, as sufficient money is reserved to pay the current cost of conducting the school, which Is esti mated at from. $12,000 to $13,000 a year. The committee recommended the following: Upon each estimate, 23 per cent. cash, interest to equal $36,230 Upon each estimate. 10 per cent.. July 1, Interest to equal Upon each estimate, 12 per cent., July 1, 1S9G, Interest to equal 28,123 Upon each estimate, 13 per cent., July 1, 1897, Interest to equal 23.250 Upon each estimate. 13 per cent..

The commit tee askeu for authority to spend not ex ceeding $250 for preliminary expenses. The committee consists of Messrs. Frenzel, Loener and Conner. Action was deferred until the meeting to-night.

WORK OF GHOULS. Mrs. Eliza llatlcn's Body Stolen from Mount Jackson Cemetery. The family of Mrs, Eliza Maden, an aged woman, who died near Haughvlile a week ago, dicovered yesterday that her rerrains had been stolen from the grave at Mount Jackson Cemetery.

For several days previous to the work of the ghouls the boy had been watching closely the sacred spot that marked the last resting place of her grandmother, and for three nights he says that he slept In the cemetery. He suspected that medical students would be after the body from ths fact that his grandmother died of a complaint that puzzled the physicians who attended her. Before her death the sick womai was nrsed ly the boy's mother. Thj latter contracted the disease which was slowly killinp: the elder woman, and her death occurred a few days before the other.

It must be said that Mr. McHugh, among other things, is one man in this State who is not the least bit afraid of being interviewed. He is not afraid of being misquoted, and enter.talns no false notions about the State or United States governments crumbling or tottering to their foundations, should he be either interviewed or even misquoted. He i3 not afraid of such, nor Is there any thing else terrestrial of which he seems to stand In fear. Mr. McHugh does not even lean back In his chair and try to appear dignified when talking to a reporter. His flesh, it is said, does not even "goose up" when the Roby bill Is mentioned. He only smiles a sort of apologetic smile, leans for ward, listens, and perhaps laughs a little if the matter is a laughable one. "What are you doing down here. Sena tor:' was asked, to which he replied: "Oh, I just ran down to see 'Faust. " "Flow do you like the play?" "r"ir: but Morrison has a soft thing In inat piay." Uuv' SO?" '.'Oh, it isn't much, trouble for any man to play the devil. "Have you heard anything about Roby lately?'' "Well, yes; that Is, indirectly. I have no ticed a little squib now and then in the newspapers nothing; however, in point, so to speak. Uy the way, who do you suppose ever put that Gatling gun Idea into Gov. Matthews' s head?" On beine informed that no knowledge was on hands in regard to the matter. Mr. McHugh was asked as to what he thought would be the ultimate result of the Gov ernor's entertaining "Gatllng gun ideas," to which he replied: "He ll probably pro on until he commits murder up there, and then he'll be com pelled to stop. I have heard, said he. 'that Governor Matthews s counsel Is Judge Elliott, but I have too much respect for Judge LIHott to think he ever counseled such a preposterous movement." "Do you think the Governor has authority to send troops to Roby in case a fight is advertised to occur there? "Why, certainly not, unless the sheriff of Lake county shows that he has exhausted the power of the county to keep the peace. "What about Judge Gillett's request?" "Well, that's a new dodge on me. I don't know how they fixed that up, but to save my soul I can't see how the Gov ernor gets any jurisdiction In the case under the circumstances." "Have you seen the Governor since you arrived in the city? "N no. The last time I saw the Gov ernor was during the world's fair. He was in the Dearborn Station at Chicago waiting for his wife. He came up to me and said. 'Where are you going. McHugh?' I told him I was croing to Roby to see a fight. and asked him If he would not join m , but he made an excuse, and to this ds r I've no doubt but that he really thinks I was en route to Roby. I expect the papers here have nearly driven the poor fellow mad, have they not? He ought not let a little thing like the Roby matter bother him any. I'll tell you it doesn't pay to boll unless you really are hot and there is fire under you, and the Senator from Tippe canoe leaned back' and laughed heartily. "I hear the Attorney-general, the State Auditor and the Governor have all locked horns. Wouldn't It be a Rood scheme for the Governor to give a little party about this time and bring about a reconciliation?" Mr. McHugh then wandered off on bank failures, hard times and the Democratic party in general until the supper hour, at which time he beat a precipitous retreat for the dining rooms. THE COLD SPELL.

EICH SONS AT YALE

Simple Life on Incomes Which j Seldom Kcach 83,000 a Year. Yonnff Cornelius Yaiulcrbilt Lives in a Three-Dollar Room anil Younsr AVliitncy Says Money Is Xot Wasted. New York Herald. A New York reporter has been writing up rich mens sons at aie. ine young man seems to have been completely over come by his proximity to so much greatness, but he manages to give some Idea of this group which, in the near future, will own no small fraction of the country's wealth. Cornelius Vanderbilt, jr., he writes, is a tall, slender youth whom you might pass a dozen times a day In Yale, or out of it. for that matter and never know by any outward token that he Is the son of the great house of Vanderbilt. In manners he is kindly, considerate and gentlemanly; In bearing he is dignified, erect and straight forward; in disposition he is shy, nervous and patient; in dress he is modest and unassuming. Although you see the boy this morning face to face, the chances are that when he is gone you cannot tell what he wore. The student moves among his friends with a quick, swinging step; now and then some one bows to him or stops to ask about recitations. The young man pauses for a moment near the street and looks at the workmen engaged In building the memorial to his deceased brother. young William II. Vanderbilt, recently a Yale man, whose untimely death led Cornelius Vanderbilt to cause to be erected at Yale a magnificent dormitory. The struct ure Is a grayish cut stone; already it has been pushed up three or four stories. "Oh. Neelv!" Vanderbilt turned and recognized a friend. "Neely" is the nickname bestowed on young Cornelius Vanderbilt, jr., Yale, 1S93. The richest collepe student In Yale, or In the world for that matter, lives quite sim ply. If possible his hallway, just three steps one way and two the other, is even more bare than those of his fellows; at any rate, it is more encumbered with waste papers and the refuse from the rooms, for the negro who sweeps out is later than usual. Mr. Vanderbilt speaks to the "sweep," as the porters are called by the students, and the colored man smiles broadly and says "Howdee" in the most commonplace way, which shows more of the democratic spirit of Yale. Nor Is the "sweep" Mr. Vanderbllt's private man servant. That dusky worker probably has ten other rooms to look after: at any rate. he has this whole floor. He pays no more attention to the Vanderbilt quarters than he does to the study of the chaps immediately overhead. For his college rooms young Vanderbilt does not pay more than $5 a week, and even this burden Is divided by Mr. Harrison, his chum, which brings the cost down to $3 for each boy. The rooms are like Mr. Vander bilt s clothes that Is, you might visit them a dlzen times, and, leaving, could not say really what they contained, beyond a lew simple articles of furniture, such as a table, two student lamps of the most ordinary pattern, and a rocklng-charlr, adorned with a partl-colored silken scarf. Perhaps the most pretentious Is the large window seat, covered with a dark shade of corduroy, and made Inviting with a couple of silk pillows, but even this was not provided by Mr. Vanderbilt, being a fixture in the study, common to all Yale sleeping halls. Indeed, I saw a number of window seats at Yale in poorer students quarters which were much more handsome, though no more serviceable, than the one in the Vanderbilt rooms. Then there are the shelves on th left hand wall, as you enter, in No. 2, one above the other, each set off with a mantel drapery; the characteristic being the tassels, some six Inches long, one against the other In a fringe-like fashion. On these shelves there was a picture of a yacht, some photographs, a fan. a small nickel-plated alarm clock, a flag bearing the Yale "Y," a few china ornaments, and, on the top shelf, something that looked suspiciously like a German beer mug. On the door. In characters a foot lonpr. in white, aralnst a black background, was tho number of Mr. Vanderbilt s class, '"b't." Over against the rignt of the room, adjoining a small table, at which Mr. Vanderbilt usually works, is a large couch, upholstered In a dull shade of red, that sort of prickly stuff which. If you slt long, gradually makes Itself very disagreeably felt. To the rear, through a narrow door, are the two sleeping apartments, side by side, somewhat longer than they are wide, but at best not noticeably large or commodious. In fact, when Mr. Vanderbilt, as he frequently dovs, sits down to look over a book beside his bed, the spacr Is so contracted between the wall and the bed that he has, it is only natural for him, to tilt back in his chair and put his feet on the white spread. Mr. Vanderbilt takes his meals in an "eating club" that is, a jolly association of young fellows who dine at some private residence. It is doubtful if the cost of the entertainment given by these twelve gentlemen averages more than ?6 or IS each for twenty-one meal3. Harry P. Whitney, the son of a possible presidential candidate, who in his three years' stay at Yale has made a brilliant record, Foclally and politically, eats at a club whose sign is the word "cafe," suspended from a shield, pendant from a very ornamental piece of iron work beside a noticeably hiRh door. McMillan and Potter and other gcod fellow3 eat with this crowd. The name of the place changes with the name of the landlady. This ycir it is plain "Smith," or "The Smith Club." I saw a man going about wearing on his watch chain a tiny moid badge. He was one of the numerous editors of the Yale Dally News, a paper circulated in the interest of students, and one so highly appreciated by the boys that recently the fctculty had to Interfere with the distribution thereof to the extent of not allowing It In the class rooms. To be an editor of the News is a position gained by competition. The man who sends In the most acceptable items in a year is appointed on the board. The sanctum of th Xews is a snug place, abounding in papers, Ink spatters and all the traditional earmarks of journalism. Young Whitney is one of the board, as are likewise a number of other capable men. Kvery Sunday night Whitney Is on duty. Thn he kindles the brass lamp in the little office, looks over the news of the college day, and uses hl3 blue pencil as he sees fit. Young Mr. Whitney, who rooms with Mr. McMillan, the son of United .States Senator McMillan, is studying for the law, and has selected a course that naturally leads up to it. The room these boys have is very comfortable, ar.i that Is all. A log Is burning on tho hearth as I enter. Whitney Is absent, but McMillan, who is the president of the Yale navy. Is talking with a gentleman about money matters, to the effect that a mortgage on the "field" must be raised, or at least some of the Interest paid. This young man handles upwards of $10,000 annually In the Interest of Yale athletics. Hi3 friends call him "Iib." He keeps no four-in-hand, lives quietly and treats every man as his equal. He gave much light on the question of college allowances. "No," he says, "there are no ten-thou-sand-a-yenr men In Yale, no matter what you may have read. What is a hitrh allowance? Well, $3.W) Is considered exceptional. Do I know many Yale men who spend that much In college? No. I do not. ' f nce In a while a man comes here who thinks to cut a swell, but his efforts are discouraged. You see. we all want to be alike." One other notable youn? man is Alonzo Potter, tall, somewhat florid, but with a spJendld cast of countenance and a hlrh. commanding brow. He Is the son of Dishop Potter, and a3 such, as well as fcr his own merits, is one of the marked men of Yale to-day. THIRTY MIM'THS OF FIX. Tivo l'ort Wayne ;ir! Ilny a Mean Trick on u Lot of Men. Chicago Herald. Two bright young women at Fort Wayne came to Chicago yesterday with their father, a prosperous merchnnt of that city. The daughters aro but little more than girls, but they nre very pretty girls, and clever and mischievous Indiana Klrls, too. Their numerous visits to Chicago have opened th'-lr eyes to many of the nlmb'.e phasrs of metropolitan life. Ti luther and daughters went to the (Irand Pac!:5e Hotel, T!icro thev obtained rooms on the Ia"?:t'"nMrer; frnt. They srnt the morn i m shep ping and were tired. Tho father was too busy until train time. Th? plrls said they would remain In their rtioms during the two remaining hours and rest So the father went bis way, and the pretty, vivacious sisters asked each other, after the fatigue was gone, what was going to happen next. Just opposite the hotel building Is the great office building of the Western Union Telegraph Company. A little city is employed there, and it Is ft frequent thinjf

THE JOURNAL Is read in tlio homes of peoplo who are able to buy goods, even after they have been to the World's Fair.

IT? ARE YOU IK You make a mistake if yon are not Publicity is necessary to business, and The Journal "can sell you tho right kind U10 kind that will bring you trado NOW, TRY TI1E JOURNAL for dapper young men and lively oil men, too, to stand beside the windows and scan with peculiar expectancy the hotel wlndowg opposite. Just at the imrticular time yesterday that a self-oonndent young man stood twirling his blonde mustache by a window he spied a laughing face opposite that belonged to one of those Indiana girl. She spied him. too. and In a few minutes she had summoned her sister and he the heaol bookkeeper, find the situation wai interesting. Something like this happened In a fast-lncreaslnfr number of other windows of the otiice building, where old men who pass in business circles as sedate ln dividual and young men who pride themre'ves cn their own general eff c. Mood each unconscious of tho other's situation. bowing, smiling and waving hands at these Indiana jrirls. The latter, by using several windows and deftly swinging the blinds, impressed each smirking Individual opposite that he was. Just nt tnat moment, the only real fascinator in the world. To the hidden occupants of the rooms la the hotel the scene in some thirty of the windows orposit? -vas highly aTr.ue-i.ig. It all resulted in each man considering himself especially Invited to quietly com over to the hotel parlor. Coats were donned, hats and clothing brushed; mustaches wer4 curled, and hair. If the happy man had enough, carefully brushed. Then, one by one, these old and young married and un married, oflice occupants began to emergt from the great doorway. Some went around to the La Salle and Clark street entrances. Others slipped across to the general eld entrances. Now and then a determined mam walked stralnt across to the ladies' en trance. On loth corners are venders ct chrysanthemums. A happy thought seeme4 to strike almost every one of these gentle men, and the llower market took a live! turn. Attendants in the hotel bar wondered whaf caused a sudden inllux from all directions of men, each carrying two and three huge chrysanthemums. Each wanted a bracing decoction, and wanted It quick, a if about to do something desperate. There wa a ripple of uneasiness on the faces of the blossom carriers as they glared at eaca other and now and then nodded hurriedly at an acquaintance, as if to ask: "What are you doing here?" Guests In tbe hotel noticed blossom bearers on the main staircase. They met them in the elevator, on the ladles' staircase. The same men who had touched elbows at the bar and scowled at each other's handsome chrysanthemums, regarded each other with scorn in the upstairs hallways. Pretty soon there was a score of fidgety men with at least two score of blossoms sitting on the edges yol the furniture in the connecting parlors, twirling their Ilowers or their hats uneasily, while at least ten more were scattered about the halls, casting furtive glances at this unusual uuthering. Just then a distinguished-looking gentleman with gray hair, who seemed to bo suppressing laughter with great difficulty and whose eyes twinkled merrily, stepped in, put his overcoat and, satchel on the table, and stood ae If expecting some one. In a moment the two pretty, mischievous faces of the Indiana girls appeared, chic in jaunty hats and furs, and carrying little satchels. They glanced quickly about and then at each other as they stood in a doorway. "Come, father," said one, half stifled with laughter. "We're all ready. You know wt never keep anybody waiting." Peals of dainty laughter, in which q resonant bass seemed to be harmonious, rang from the descending elevator. Five minutes later a lot bf half -concealed chrys. anthemums were being sneaked across th street. Business was so pressing just then that thirty or forty men wouldn't speak to even old acquaintances. Annlf Lnnrle. A Pittsburg magazine, the Youth's Journal, lias hunted up tiie history of Annie Laurie. She was not a creature of imagination, but an actual verity, of whose ancestry honorable mention is made In Scotch history. Stephen Laurie was a flourishing merchant of Dumfries before James VI became King. Prior to icil he married Marlon, daughter of Provost Coran, getting with her a handsome marriage portion. Ieing a man of many acres, he took the designation of Maxwelton, leaving at his death his lands and titles to his eldest son John. The next head of the house wai Itobert. a baronet. He was twice married, and ha'-i. by his peconl wife, three sons and four daughters. The birth of one of the latter is thus entered In the family register by the father: "At the pleasure of the Almiprhty God. my daturhter. Annlt Laurie, was born upon the 10th day of December, 1CS2, about f o'clock In the morn ing, and was baptized by Mr. George Hunt er. the minister of Glencalrn." The wellknown IjtIc was composed bv Mr. Douglas Finland, aa ardent admirer of "Hon nle Annie." who did not. however, return bis afTections. but married his rival, Alexander Furguson.
