They Enler Three Places and Arc Finally ' Scared Away Empty-Handed by Pistol Shots. Wllkes-Barre, May 21 .Tho Times says: At an early hour this morning a gang of burglars successfully en tered and robbed three business places at Luzerne borough. Thty were dis covered while robbing the saloon of John Harrington and pursued but es caped unharmed, although several shots were flred at them. The first place entered was tho storo of Greenwald & Mangle. The front door was forced open by thrusting a chisel between the casing and the door and using it as a ltVer. Several pair of overhauls were taken, and a num ber of boxes of shoes. After successfully looting this place tho burglars went to Ebert's hotel. Entrance to the barroom of the hotel was made through Patten's barber shop. Tho outside door was forced open with a chisel and the one leading from the barber shop to the barroom was opened In the same manner. Tho only article taken was the cash regis ter. Tho thieves carried the register back of Schooley's mill, where It was found this morning untouched. No money was kept in It over night. From Bberts tho burglars went to the saloon of John Hanlngton. After gaining entrance to the kitchen, the thieves were compelled to force an other door leading to the bar room. Some noise was made, and this awak ened Mrs. Harrington, who alarmed her husband. Arming himself with his revolver ho ran down stairs Into the bar room, but the thieves had lied. The flrst thing he missed was the cash reg ister. Harrington ran out Into the back yard and flred his pistol four times after the retreating burglars. Other neighbors heard the commotion and Mr. Harrington soon had assist ance, but tho thieves madp good their escape before reinforcements arrived. On tho railroad track In the rear of Schooley's mill, near where Ebert's register was found, Harrington's was also picked up. But as this contained money It had not fared so well as Ebert's, the bottom being smashed. In the register was $2.50 In change, and fifty cents of this was left behind In their flight. It is not probable that the thieves secured half enough to pay them for their trouble. THE STILL BURST.

The 9 The Spring At no other season are Pimples and Humors so abundant or so annoying as in the Spring. An unseasonably warm day, before change of win ter clothing, heats the blood, and these Pimples and Humors itch and burn, and their annoyance, the suf fering they cause, is known only to those afflicted. At no time is a blood purifying medicine more effective than just before and during this season. If your blood is not right (and whose is?) you are liable to be one of these sufferers this Spring. A course of Hood's Sarsaparilla begun now and faithfully pursued will save you suffering and give you rugged health, so that you can thoroughly enjoy all the pleasures of the coming summer. Plmplos on tho Faco. "I havo been troubled for tbrco years with pimples on my faco and body. I tried several remedies with only temporary relief.
