AFTER MR. HERSCHEY.
Another bold robbery was perpu
tinted on Wednesday night, when the
home of Mis. D. J. Clearwater, on
Pear street, below Ceflar nvenue, was
enteied nnd robbed of $190 In cash.
The thief gained entrance through the
cellar door, which was that evening
left unfastened.
Mrs. Clearwater left the house to
nttend church soivlce about 7.10
o'clock, nnd hei son, Walter, left
shortly after S o'clock to attend to
some business, and both were gone but
about an hour. Upon their leturn, Mrs.
Cleaiwnter found the fiont door un
fastened, and Walter, who was about
to retlie, found his loom looking as
If n cyclone had stiuck It. Hverv thing
was ovei tinned and scattcied about
the room. Upon examination it was
found that $190 In cash was missing.
Tho thief did not take two gold
watches that lay on the bureau, thus
indicating that he Is the same one who
has been getting into central, city
houses lately. The thief evidently was
illstuibed at his woik, for In one room
a drawer In n chiffonier wns parti)
pulled out but nothing disturbed.
It wns found that the thief entered
the ynrj fiom the tear, passing
thtough a neighbor's garden, nnd
opened the cellnr door, entering the
kitchen through n tiap-door In n
closet. Their next-dooi neighbor s-iw
the man enter the yard, but thought
It was an acquaintance, and hcaid him
walking about, as tho carpets were
up, piepar.itory to their vacating the
premises, and the sound was can led
veiy plainly.
The police weie notified, but up till
n late hour had found no clue. The
man, whoever he was, must have
known his beailngs, for scarcely ten
minutes elapsed between the depart
ure of Walter Clearwater and his en
trance Into the yard.

In many places In the extiema
southern states, (specially In what aid
locally known as the "plney woods,"
one of the most rotable featuies it
the constantly tecuirlng mounds ot
jellow sand whlth cvciywheie dot,
and It must be confessed disfigure, tha
monotonous landscape. These pllei
of eaith nre usually nearly circular
In fonn. falily symmetilcal in con
tour, from six Inches to two feet In
diameter, and, savo whore they have
been beaten down by rain or winds or
tho tiamplng of cattle, about half as
high as they aie bioad. Often thesu
sand heaps are pretty evenly distribu
ted, sometimes so thickly as to covet
at least one-fouith of tho soil sur
face. If ou ask a native the causo
of this singular phenomenon, which
jou will poi hops at first bo disposed
to consider a kind of arenaceous erup
tion which bus somehow broken out
on the face of nature, your Informant
will sententlously reply, "Salaman
deis." All this dlsllgurement Is, Indeed, tlm
work of a curious little lodcnt popu
l.uly so named and about the slz
and color of an oidlnary rat. He it
never heen above ground if he can
possibly help It. He digs lnnumerabla
branching undei gtound tunnels, al
depths varjlng fiom one to bIx feet,
and these mounds of sand aro slmplj
the "dump heaps" which in his encl.
neerlng operations lie finds, it neces
sary to make.
After cairylng the excavated earth
to the suifaco this curious little mlnei
takes tho greatest pains to cover up
Ills tracks. No opening Into his bur
row Is left. How he manages tov bc
carefully smooth over his little sand
mound nnd then literally "pull th
hole in after him" Is as yet tinexv
plained.
