A NEW THING IN BURGLARY. Burglars have broken Into houses be- fore now on what appear to be foolish errands, considering the danger they run and the gravity of the offense they commit. It seems like madness for me: to clsk long terms of Imprisonment as well as their lives by entering dwellings in the nighttime on the chance of car- rying off a few articles worth only @ trifle; a little plated ware and clothing, for instance, When a good amount of money or of available valuables ts to be secured the booty Ix perhaps worth some risk, But a wise burglar ought to be certain of his reward in case of succem before he attempts an operation. A new thing in burglary has, however, come to Nght at Chatham, tn this Btate, The house of a well-to-do widow in that town was entered Saturday night through the second-story window by means of @ ladder and a three-year-old child, # little girl, was stolen out of her mother's arms, where she was sleeping, and carried off. The mother, Mrs. ‘Taafe, her niece and an older child had been chloroformed. The child was found at 1 o'clock on Sunday morning tn the churchyard It was no doubt the intention of the kid- napper to keep the child for ransom, since a bundle of its clothes had been carried off as well. Probably the child awoke, and her cries alarmed the thiet and induced the abandonment. If children are to be stolen out of thelr beds, a novel feature has been intro- duced into housebreaking. Thore are no reports that the Union League Club bar was raided yenterday, by any force except that of its regular patrons. THE CUP RACES. ‘There ts now @ rumor that the Prince of Wales will slip over here at the time of the cup races and witness the je between Valkyrie III, and our defender. “The Evening World" suggested that the Prince should pay us @ visit to complete the attraction of this year's cup race, the most interesting as It promiaes to be the clusest ever sailed, Tt ts gratifying to see that the Prince has at least considered our advice and that a trip to York by the future King of England ta contemplated. But “The Evening World” did more. It advised that the cup-challenger should be the Prince's own boat, the Britannia, and that the honor of earry- ing back the cup, tf gained at all, should be won by “the first gentleman of Eng- land." ‘The new Valkyrie will doubtless prove a good boat, but the Britannia stands at the head of the English fleet, nevertheless, However, the cup will probably stay on this side of the Atlantic, whatever boat may be the challenger, notwith standing the croaking of those who be- gin to predict misfortune because of Defender's mishap at the launching, A prophetic Democrat declares that the Republican choice for 1896 has been bolled down to Allison, It may be added that there ts still time for even Allison to boll over, watching a schooner all day yesterday. | New York policemen were also watching world, _ foun The expiring kicks of the outgoing Police Justices were quite as becoming as anything the gang was ever gullty of.
