MEDLAR, OP MAHANOY CITY,
THE fcUFFBRBR
THIS IS THE THIRD BURGLARY.
Tho Safe Was Blown Opon All
tho Postngo Stnmpa and About
Ono Hundred Dollars in
Cash Carrlod Away,
OSTM ASTER M ED
lnr, of Mahanoy City,
seems to lie a (pedal
target for burglars.
Last night his post,
ollico was robbed for
the thlnl time since lie
took cliargo of tho
ollico thtce years ago.
Tho midnight visitors
gave the office a thorough overhauling, but it
is not bolievcd tho booty they secured
amounted to near us much as they expected
to find.
Tho post ollico of Mahanoy City is so
located that it is .1 temptation to tho cracks
men. It is on tho first floor of Kaier's opera
houso building. This building has within
its walls, in addition to a saloon aud the
theatic, a ballroom. It is remarked that
eaclt tinio tho postoilleo lias been robbed a
theatrical porformanco or ball has been givun
in tho building on tho samo night. This has
allowed tho burglars to proceed with their
lock and safe breaking without attracting
attention by any noiso they might chance to
make.
Tho ball room is on the first floor of the
building aud has a door that connects it with
tho tear part of tho post ollico. This door
has always been kept securely fastened, bin
tho bolls aud bars havo not been sulllcicnt to
balk tho robbers. When Mr. Medlar and his
clerks went lo tho post ollico at an early hour
this morning they found this open. The
also found tho door of tho safe open, tho inner
compartments and drawers open and empty,
and the floor about tho safo was covered witli
papers and documents which wero of value
to the postmaster alono.
An inspection of tho safe Bhowcd that the
burglars had broken ofT tho knob of tho
combination dial aud immediately below the
plaeo where tho knob wasa holo largo enough
to admit a man's small finger was found
On the floor wero chips of tho steel and iron
that had been mado when this holo was
drilled. The combination lock had boon
ruined by a blast of iowdcr.
Everything of negotiable valuo had been
taken from the safe, including all tho postage
stamps and about 0110 hundred dollars in
cash. The amount of stamps taken could
nut he learned and will not bo known until
Postmaster Medlar can go over Ills books.
Not a postage stamp was left in tho ollico and
tho postmaster was obliged to send to this
town for a supply oarly this morning.
Thero is no clue to tho perpetrators of the
burglary. Tho authorities say they cannot
even find anybody who heard tho found ol
tho blast when tho safe was blown open.
This is a likely story, as tho Shea company
was playing "Escaped from Sing Sing1' in
tho theatro last night and as there aro several
scenes in that play in which gun and pistol
shooting is introduced aud if people did heai
a report when the safo was blown open they
no doubt gavo it no attention, supposing that
it came from tho theatre.
This moruiug tho police at Mahanoy City
arrested four tough looking characters and
took them to tho polico headquarters. The
men were searched from head to feet, but
nothing that would connect them with the
bu glary was found ami they wero dis
charged. Tho only tool tho burglars left was
an iron instrument that resembled a punch.

It is when ono attempts to gather together
tho thousand varied throads of interest,
wonder and grandeur of tho World's Col
umbian Exposition aud weaves them Into a
web of words that shall but fainly show tho
marvelous beauty and coloring of the pageant
of industry, science and art to which tho
people aro bidden this summer, that its vast
ubm becomes most apparent. Whcro to bo
gin, is a question that seems unimportant
compired ,ith that other, whero to end?
For on every hand new themes of interest
prosout themsclvos, and new fields of wonder
tempt the visitor to wander from others
whoso fullness ho is but beginning to com
prehend. For, if it wero possihlo to build up an ex
position worthy tho event it is designed to
commemorate, that task is surely being ac
complished. There havo been other exposi
tions, here and in older lands, but nono ol
scopo so ambitious; nor of fulfilment so
magnificent and complete. Everything of
human interest finds its exemplification here.
Its projectors havo "buildcd wiser (hautboy
know." Apparently no plan is too vast, no
detail too insignificant to daunt their enter
prise or escape thoir euro. Not that mistakes
have not been made, or that everything con
nected witli their labors will work with
perfect smoothness and with satisfaction to
all who may visit it. That were loo much to
expect of mere men and women, hut, taken
as a whole, regarded in its entirety aud
grandeur, the Expedition itself will bo the
highest and greatest honor that could be paid
to thoso whose ell'orts have made it what it if
to he.

'Squlrus Denglcr and Monaghau and S, A.
Beddall s)ieiit yostoiday viewing a road iu
tho Catawissa valley whloh passes through
the farm owned by Nathau Manbeck and
which Mr. Manbeck wants closed on the
ground that It is no longer useful as a public
highway. Tho roal roason, it is said, is that
tho road runs undor a shod connected witk
Mr. Manbeck's barn. Miners pass under tin
shed at nights, to and from work, witk
lighted mining lamps in their raps and Mr.
Manbeck fears a spark from tho lamps may
some tinio set tho bam on fire. If the road
should bo condemned tho owner will thou be
iu a position to keep oil' trespassers.
Speaking of farms reminds me that a
number of Polish, Lithuanian and Hungar
ian families of town aro reaching out for
acres iu the Catawissa valley. Thoy aro
principally peoplo who owned or worked
farms in tho Catawista volley. Tho other
day John Omiszczak, of town, purchased for
$1,-100 a farm at Brandonville that waawld
two years ago for $1,000. Yesterday deeds
were drawn up for a farm to be purchased by
another family of town.
I chanced to meet a couple of theatrical
men yesterday and in the conversation that
followed ono of them was bemoaning lh
discouraging repoits agents of other com
panics had given thorn of tho p.ttrouggo iu
some of tho towns in this region. He could
not understand why tho shows (all of which
ho vouched for as good ouos) failed to draw
good houses. At tho same time the speaker
said that ho intended giving a production on
two days notice. Ho was asked why ho was
making such a sudden appearanco and ox-
plained that tho advance man of his company
had been taken ill aud ho was obliged to
leave tho company and move ahead to do tho
"billing" aud make other arrangements.
Tho man who wondered at tho failure of
compauios to draw unconsciously furnished,
the explanation. Tho peoplo havo not yet
become so enthusiastic over theatricals that
they can bo drawn into tho theatres on ten
minutes' uotice. The first thought, the first
cost in a theatrical venture is advertising,
and it must bo timoly and abundant The
peoplo must first he informed of the proposed
coming of a theatrical company, tho merits
and reputation of tho play and company
must bo placed beforo them, and then they
must have time to reflect and assure them
selves that the representations aro bom fide
and they aro not being buncoed by some barn
storming combination. Advertising is in
valuable in all classes of business, and
especially in theatrical circles. The majority
of managers appreciate this, hut thero area
number who do not. Itanium, Forepatigh
and like men admitted time and again that
their successes did not hinge, sololy upon the
merits of their shows, but were brought
about principally, and in many instances
wholly, by the printed matter on the bill
boards and tho advertisements in tho news
papers; and the thoatiical man of to-day
who tbiuks he is smarter iu his liue of
business tliau Barnum or Forepatigh were is
playing hido-and-seek with his own common
sense. Tho manager who hides his light
under a bushel and springs his "gieatwt
show on oarth" at the eleventh hour must
not blame tho people if ho falls to pull iu the
shekels. This rule also applios to merchants.
It has been remarked that it is a rule
when ono man of a group pulls out his watch,
to note the hour nil others present do like-
and the time
indicated on tlio dials is found
so dlUertat
that even two watches of a number do not
correspond. The rule is not Infallible,
although I will admit that I discovered it for
the first time the other evening. While I
was sitting lu a barber shop one of the fiw
others present pulled out his ivatefc.
"Twenty uiiuuteg of eleven," said ha.
Another looked at his watch and said,
"That's it, exactly." The other four, in
cluding myself, pulled out their chronometer
aud great was the surprise when they shouted,
iu chorus, "That is the time by my watch."
Quite a dlscussiou followed the incident,
during which the barber was coaxed to open
a Imjx of cigars under the renreeeutstioH that
the discovery of au exception to the aiioioBt
rule would bring luck to hi puvoa. Tfea
liatbar will open a box after OtaveianJ.
