f - OTHAVENUE STORE GEM THEVESLOOT $25 000 HAL Get into Varga Company's / Shop While Special Watch- men Swarm About. BORE THROUGH A WALL Then Came Down Through the Ceiling from an Empty Loft. Zoweph J. Varga of the Varga Art ry Company, opened the store at No, 94 Fifth avenue to-day, as ie his custom, and found his showcases which had contained about $100,000 of jewelry, had been smashed and rified. More than $25,000 worth of jewelry had L sad @olen, The jeweler scarcely could believe his eyes. The walls of the store, the doors and windows were all crisscrossed with burgiar ularm wires. Even the floor Was wired. Special watchmen guard the store as well as those of Reed Bar- ton, silveremiths, and William Reiman, Jeweler, in the same block between ‘Thirty-first and Thirty-second streets. Burglar insurance patrolmen are also on duty in the neighborhood and @ po- Yeoman is on Axed post all night at the ‘Thirty-firet street corner. A glance at the ceiling eolved the Dussie. A hole had been cut through from the empty loft above. It was only twelve inches wide between the floor beams and fourteen inches long. Only @ very thin man or @ boy could have dropped through it. A knotted rope of sash cord and heavy bundling twine hung through the hole to the top of the biggest of the nine show- cases. The thief had apparently put MMs feet through the heavy glass of the case. From this case most of the jewelry wes taken. It’ had contained many ropes and collars of pearls and diamond brooches mounted on velvet cushions for dispiay. A punch or @ chisel had been used on five other cases, making a hole big enough to admit a man's arm, and all the valuable jewelry within the radius of a man's reach had been taken. Mr. Varga notified Capt. Cooney of the West Thirtieth street statioi squad ‘of men hurried to the They found that the burglars nad en- tered the bullding at No, 3 Fifth ave- nue, used by iadies' tailors and hair- dressers, and had broken into the tail oring shop of J. Fields. The door of this bullding, according to the police, is fre- quently left unlocked. An eighteen- inch square hole was cut through the foot-thick party wail in @ highly work- @maniike manner, giving the thieves ac- cess to the empty loft over the jewelry store. Grease spow showed that the person who rifled the showcases worked by caudle light. A high wood partition shuts off the show window from the tore and there is a heavy curtain dver ‘the giass of the door, so that there was no fear of attracting attention by the light. The police collected numerous finger prints on the showcases and on the wall, which had been pierced. ———s “TRBRE IS A HAPPYLAND.” ‘This w toe inviung ulle of toe great @ong bit at Weber & Fields's Music Hall, the words and music of which will be featured in tne Magazine of next Sunday's World.

Let's hope he is wrong. Here is iis letter: MANY GIRLS OUGHT NOT TO ASK OR RECEIVE. Dear Madam: I don't think 75 per cent. of the girls to-day should pro- pose or be proposed to, They are lazy and extravagant and selfish, As simple as the gas range, the tele phone, &c., have made present-day housekeeping, they don't want to do it. Do they ever think how their grandmothers had to work? ‘They must dress and go to matinees and flirt in the hotels and restaurants, I refer to the city girls, not to the girls In smaller places, New York girls are all spoiled by rubbing el- bows with the very rich. What per- centage of the girls you know are willing to marry a young man of thelr own station in sgclety and take a chance with him? Only the very poor girls who marry the labor ing men will do it, All the others are clamoring for a man with money, and, frankly, there are not enough of then to go around. 1am nearly thirty, have accumulated enough money to buy a confortable home and have a salary and earn- ing capacity of not less than $2,000 a year, but I don't know a girl who would marry me unlet she were it, aN Bulo- mobile and an unlimited charge ace count in @ department store.
