ANOTHER BURGLARY.
Robbers Secure $137 in the House of
P. V. Connlinii--IiOnvo No Trnco or
Clue That Would Lend to Detection.

mysterious burglary was committed on
the Heights last night In tho reslder.re
of P. F. Conahan, tho well-known

the robbers securing $137 in cash. Tho
tobbery looks ns If It had been com.
mltted by the samo daring burglar who
btole $375 from Charles Tammany a
residence, only n short distance away,
the night before.
Jir. Conahan's wife had kept tho
money in n large tin box which con
tnlned other papers and receipts and
which was placed in a closo closet in
their It tl room. The family retlrtd at
the usual hour and were not disturbed
by Hiij strange noise during tho night.

ing and reached the dining room
she fuund the box lying on the floor
wth tho r."'pts and papers strewn
about and tho money missing. The
r."('.cboard vns r.iso rlilad and lh i'il
vetwave and cutlery lying about the
floor but none of ihe latter was mlit'd.
A curious fact Is that Mr. Conahan's
gold watch and n silver watch which
were In his clothing hanging in tho
closet were not taken. A pockotbook
in his trousers which contained $1.49
was also untouched. Another myster
ious fact is that no trace can be found

luctant to accept for the reason that he

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.
New York, July 21. Tho stock market
today gene: ally was steady to firm, but
at the closing was strong at a better level
for not only the more active shares, but
also for shares usually quiet and unob
trusive. One of the most potent Influences
was a two-cent extreme rlso in wheat
and the export orders of over a million
bushels of wheat, while yesterday tho
enormous quantity of a million and a half
bushels were engaged for export, which
Is the largest day's buslnoss in a number
of years. Other Influences wero the treas
ury's continued gain In gold, favorable
crop outlook and predictions of the tar
iff's early becoming a law. The total
sales of stocks today wero "08,800 shares.

A QUESTION OF FINANCE.
Those Sort of Things Lead Ono to
Doubt the Newspapers.
From Tid Bits.
"I see by the newspapers," he ob
served, "that the city of Paris tried to
borrow money and was oflcred eighty-live
times as much as was asked for,"
"Yes, that's true."
"I noticed, too, that tho Gciman loan
was over-subscribed a good many times."
"Yes"
"It inolcates that moi.ey Is plentiful and
cheap?"
"It does."
"Now, If I wero to ask you to lend me a
tlvo-dollar bill, would you offer to make it
$10 or $15?"
"Certainly not."
"If I were to ask for a half-dollar, would
jou volunteer to furnish me. with a dol
lar?" "No."
"If I should endeavor to negotiate the
loan of a dime, I supposryou would not
even suggest that I take a quarter?"
"You are quite right."
"It Is as I thought," muttered tho
would-be borrower, as he walked away.
"It is such a practical test as this that
makes me skeptical of what I read in the
newspapers."
QUEER, BUT TIIUE.
From the New York Advertiser.
If an express train, moving at tho rate
of forty-flvo miles an hour, were, to stop
suddenly It would give the passengers a
shock equal to that of falling a height of
fifty-four feet.
A useful charity, called the London
Spectacle Mission, provides spectacles for

In Austria the man who loses both his

that ho hns lost the means of maintain
ing himself. Loss of the right hand re
duces tho claim from 70 to 80 per cent,

The omnibuses of one London company
cover Just upon 20,000,000 miles in tho
course of a year half as much as is cov
ered by the trains of the London anl
Northwestern railway a distance suffi
cient to take them nearly threo times
around the world every day
It Is a mistake to suppose that tho tip
of the tongue is the most sensitive part
of the body. Those engaged In polishing
billiard balls, or other substances that
require a very high degree of smoothness,
Invariably use the cheek bone as their
touchstono for detecting any roughness.
