Goldstein_& Cohn’s large show window | 'at S22 Market’ street, in which was ‘ex- |/hibited 5200 worth of prizes to be award- | ed at the Eintracht Vereln masquerade | ball, advertised for next Saturday even- ing, was broken into by some bold thief | or thieves about 6:3) Wednesday morning. made by cutting the plate glass with a diamond and all valuables taken The theft is but another of a serles which have taken place on public thor- oughfares while the police watch was be- ing changed. The officer on duty previ- ous to the occurrence reports that he passed the window at 6 o’clock and again ten minutes later. J. Maloney, private secretary to Mayor Phelan, says he passed there at 6:20. Both are. positive the window was not broken when they passed.” At 6:45 the officer who succeeds the night patrol discovered the broken plate of glass and remained on guard until the arrival of the proprietors of the store at 8 o'clock. Among the articles taken were a gentleman's gold wateh, a lady’s gold watch, diamond ~ locket, breast-pin, lady’s ruby rluF. diamondring, diamond earrings and gold cuff buttons. The thief overlooked a couple of clocks, a lady’s pin and a scarfpin. The robbery was particularly bold, hav- ing been committed after day had dawned, and almost in the immediate presence of hundreds of people who were Fassm on their way to work. The break- ng of the plate glass, which is three- eighths of an inch in thickness, must have made a loud noise, yet it seems to have been heard by no one. The managers of the ball will bear the loss of the prizes. They have duplicated them, however, and they will be distrib- uted ‘as advertised on Saturday evening. The damage to the window is $200, but this is covered by insurance. ————— HELPED THE DUMB BEASTS. Big Month’s Work Performed by the Local Humane Society.

THE CAPTAIN WILL SUBMIT THE STORY OF AN O’FARRELL- STREET FLAT. Residents of a Quiet’ Neighborhood Protest in Vain toHe Authori- ties Against the Affliction of Midnight Revelry. Police Captain George W. Wittman and Chief of Police Lees have clashed. The Chief thus far has had the best of the encounter, but the Captain is suppressing an_expression of his chagrin with a hope that the residents of a very reputable part of the city will raise an indignant howl to vindicate him. Captain Wittman says he must bow to the orders of his superior, but in bowing he suspects that the orders have a suspicious aspect.. The trouble between the two police officlals has been brought about by a woman. About a month ago the quiet residents of O'Farrell street; near Hyde, received an addition to their number. and a shock to their feelings in the presence of a new tenant in the biock. The newcomer was a woman and evidently popular at un- seemly hours of the night. She was gra- cious in her reception of her friends, and welcomed them with particular good will after the electric lights went out. Cabs rumbled up to her door when her neigh- bors were deep in slumber and were dis- turbed from their sleep by ‘the clash of the wheels and the clang of the bell upon the door. Now and again the silence of the street would be broken by the sound of revelry, the music of midnight pianos and the laughter of noisy, boisterous voices. O'Farrell street was shocked. Whisper- ing of the scenes In the new tenant's flat grew into indignant protests that found expression at police headquarters. A committee of O'Farrell street residents went to the City Hall and registered a formal complaint against the new tenant. Protests came from every side and an investigation was made. Captain Wittman, whose duty it is to see that reputable districts of the city are not molested by undesirable new- comers, instituted a rigid inquiry. He discovered that the woman whose pres- ence was objected to was not unknown to him. He declares that he forced her to leave a house on Eddy street because of her conduct, and he determined to make | {l‘er give up her flat on O'Farrell street. Vhen the woman received her orders to leave Captain Wittman also threatened to blockade her house with bluecoats un- til she did _leave. Before the time .came for the woman | to go, however, Captain Wittman _was | startled by receiving oruers from Chief of Police Lees not to molest the woman and to permit her to remain where she is. Captain Wittman says he could do noth- ing except obey the orders of his superior. The woman whose presence has shocked a neighborhood has not been molested in what her neighbors insist is too pro- nounced a hospitality. ' In discussing the affalr last night Captain Wittman said somewhat pompously that he is a devo- tee to official supetiority, but if cabs con- tinue to disturb-the siumbers of the resi- dents of O’Farrell'street, near Hyde, and new protests are made to him he will again report the matter to the Chief of Police. Captain Wittman says his hands of- ly were tied by the Chief of Police | by the assertion that the woman, of | whom complaint has been made, has| promised to silence the vocal and instru- mental music of her flat after midnight. The captain has taken the matter very seriously. “‘Complaints were made to me,” he sald, “and I ordered an investi- tion. This woman once occupied a ouse on Eddy street and I ordered her to leave it. She obeyed the command and I knew nothing more of her until the protests against her method of enter- | fainment came from people living on | O'Farrell street. 1 would have ordered | her to leave there but Chief of Police Lees says that I shall tane no further action in the matter. That {s all there is to the affair. Chief Lees informs me that the woman has made a satisfactory explanation to him and Chief Lees is my cial superifor.” LENT IS USHERED IN. Solemnization of Ash Wednesday, the First of the Forty Days of Fasting. Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, was solemnly celebrated yesterday in the various Catholic churches throughout the city. Solemn high mass was said at a late ‘hour-in the morning, immediately after’ which the blessed ashes were ad- ministered. With the advent of Lent all amuse- ments, as far as good Catholics are con- cerned, cease. The forty days preceding Easter Sunday are supposed to be de- voted to sacrifice. Every one within the pale of the church is supposed to make an undue effort to do something during the coming six weeks in the way of self- sacrifice. It is a time when all are sup- Fosed to be drawn nearer to God by fast- ng and the offering of prayer. In nearly all the churches an estab- lished form of service will be held for each day during the Lenten season. Masses will be said almost as on SundaYs with the exception that the high mass in the late morning will be omitted. At St. Mary’s Church (Paulist) masses will be said at 6 7:30 and 8 o'clock in the morning. Every Monday evening the service will consist of a sermon, the recital of the rosary and the celebration of bene- diction of the blessed sacrament. On Fri- day evening the stations of the cross with benediction will_be said. This regular form of special Lenten devotions will be observed generally in the various churches in_the_city. The first Sunday of Lent will be com- menced at St. Mary’'s Cathedral with the inauguration of a two weeks' mission by the Redemptorist Fathers. It is expected that it will be well attended, as an op- portunity of this kind has not been af- forded the parishioners of the cathedral for-a year or more. What the conditions of the mission will be or whether it will be divided for special instruction for the women one weefi and the men the next will be announced from the pulpit next Sunday morning at the high mass at 11 o'clock. A special indulgence will be granted to all those who keep the mis- sion. R ————————— THE CROMDALE'S HARD LUCK Her Water Tanks Are Leaking, So Her Departure Will Be Delayed.

Those Who Favor the Scheme Believe That a Great Advantage Would ~ Be Gained by Its In- trcduction. “Bar or no bar” is the question which is agitating the board of directors of the Olympic Club and many of its members at the present time. For many years it | has been a rule of the Post street ath-| letic organization not to allow alcoholic refreshments of any kind to be sold within the club, and this regulation has | been strictly adhered to. ly that in the near future the ancient tra- dition will be erased from the club's code of house rules and the members be per- mitted to, call for a cocktail or a bottle of ale without having to forego-the com- forts of an easy chair and engage in cor- ner pedestrianism to obtain the same. Many of the members are violently op- posed to the introduction of this inno- vation on the ground that alcoholic stim- ulants should not be sold in an. athletic | club. They assert that exercise devel- ops a thirst as well as muscle and easy access to the means of satisfying the for- mer will tend to demoralize the younger element in the club. They do not fear that any such result would follow the in- troduction of a bar, but the possibility of it is what makes them halt and op- pose it. The party which favors the introduc- | tion of the bar are also strong, and they advance what they declare to be an un- answerable argument. They claim that a drink in the club is a dozen shades more proper than a rushing to the corner grocery. They also say it will promote good fellowship and sociability. exemplification to their argument they cite tnhe custom in the big swell Eastern athletic clubs, all of which have bar at- tachments and which prove of inestima- ble value to the club on the financial as well as the social side of its life. The house committee of the Olympic Club has this matter under advisement and it is exgected that they will propose the establishment of a bar. F. P. Mc- Lennan, the chairman of that committee, said yesterday: “I think that the introduction of a bar would be of value to the club, but we want to consider every phase of the ques- tion before taking a step. - 1 am not the sponsor of the proposition, but favor it merely. A cozy place, where a man can invite a friend and’ take a drink, is ever so much better than a corner grocery groE shop. It promotes sociability, and cannot_see how it can possibly work harm. The house committee is there to see that the privilege should not be abused and it Is unlikely that it would The entire proposition will be consia- ered at a future meeting of the board.
