BUHGLAHS ll WllllK.

An epidemic of burglaries has struck
the western part of Connecticut, and
nearly every day a new robbery is re-
ported. .

Monday night the station and post-
office at Sound Beach was broken open
and robbed, and Tuesday night the
post-office at Darien was entered and
about $5 worth of due stamps and a few.
cents from the box in the telephone
pay station stolen.

Last night the burglars reached Nor-
Walk and effected an entrance Into the
post-office, depot and Adams Express
office. .

The post-office is in the general store
kept by Joseph C. Randle on the main
street, and Mr. Randle is the postmas-
'tcr.

' This morning it was discovered that,
some time during the night burglars
had entered the office by forcing the
trout door open with a jimmy and pick-
.Ixe, both of which they left behind in
the store.

After gaining admittance the burg-
lars ransacked every drawer in the
post office, but failed to find any money
excepting a few pennies left in one of_
the drawers over night.

They rifled all the letters in the let-
ter boxes, but failing to find any mon-

ey in‘ them left them lying on the
floor. A number of letters addressed
to the Lounsbury & Bissell company
and containing receipts were among
those opened.

Strange to say a large number of
‘ postage stamps in one of the drawers
were unmolested although the drawer
. was opened by the visitors.

Failing to find anything of value in
the pest otlice the burglars turned
their attention to the store. Here they
secured some candy and a number of
Mr Randle’s choice cigars.

The safe which
several years ago and has never been
but the

was broken open
repaired, stood in the corner,
theives did not molest it other than to
go through all of Mr. Rauulc's private
papers and scatter them over Ihe floor.

Profiting from his former experience
,wlth burglars Mr. thntlle has all the

money and valuables removed at night,
so thatr"? So will cover his loss from this
last visit. ' g
It was thought at one time th ii: the
thieves had carried away Mr. Randle’s
private check book, but that was after-
ward found under one of the counters
Where it had been thrown.

Besides the post office it was also
discovered that the \Vinnipauk dep)t
and the Adams Express company’s
allies in the depot had been entered.

An entrance had been effected with
the same impliments as were used on
_thepost oilicedoor, and as these were
left at the latter place it is surmised
“ that the burglars fil'SD visited the depot
and then adjourned to the post oflice.

None of the railrnad’s property was
taken, but the tutti fI-uitti machines in
the dept were smashed and the few
pennies inside taken.

The door to the Adams Express office
wasforccd open, but beyOnd taking
the agent‘s money m-der b.) Ik nothing
of any great value was taken.

DOUGLASS N0 NEGRO.

Did Not Know it Until Too Late to Own It-

 

I wish I had known that Mr. Chest-
nut was to write the life of Frederick
Douglass, for I might have induced him
to tell the story of his parentage as
Frederick told it to me, says Caroline
H. Dall, in the Springfield “Republi-
can.” A short time before Mr. Doug-
lass died, I went out to his house in
Uniontown to meet a party of old
friends from the north. Mrs. Douglass,
and the ladies had gone out into the
grounds, and'I was'left alone In the

posite us, on the wall, hung a rude por-
trait in oil, which I had not observed
before. “Who does that represent?” I
asked. “It is not well painted, but it is
certainly the likenessof somebody!” "It
was meant for me when I was30 years
old,” answered my friend. “Why!” . I
exclaimed, “it is the portrait of' an
Omaha!” "Naturally enough!” he re-
plied: “What do you mean, Fredexu
10k?” I went on. “I have often want.
ed to ask you about your parents. I
know you were the son of a white mas-
ter. Was there in the white blood he
gave you anything to accbunt for your
own power, especially for your mar-
velous command of language?” “No,”
he said calmly; “when I went back .to
the plantation in 1878, I looked into the
matter thoroughly. There was nothing
creditable on that side.” '

“To what, then, do you attribute it—
was it a direct gift—«from heaven—(Ir
from whom did you inherit it?”

was afull-blooded Potomac Indian of
unusual powers, and greatly respected
on the plantation. She had one child
by her white master, and that child
was my mother. After that she mar-
ried a free negro and had several chil-
dren, but I never knew one of them.
She had a nice little cottage of her own
and had the care of all the pickanin
nies. ”

“And your mother? What became of
her? Your father was a white man,
she was a white and Indianlhalf-breed;
where does the negro blood come in?"

.“So far as I know,” he said, “I have
not a drop in my veins, but, of course,
my children have.“

“Think of your autobiographies." I
said. “Not one of them tells the truth;
you ought to put this in print.” “It
would not please my pe0p1e,” he said;
“and It is not of the least consequence.
I was just as much a slave as any of
'them; that “as the only important
thing. Ofc-ouIse all these books weIc
pr intcd before I knew the truth.”

To Business Men-
The Merchant’s association of Water -

buth had a banquet Monday night. and
the picsident of the Waterbury associa-
made a plain statement Iegarding the
relations of the press and advertisers.
President Hewitt said: “We, as ad ver-
tisers, support and assist what is recog-
nized to day as the most powerful lev-
er which can be brought to bear on any
subject of importance—the public
press. We Inustiuterest them in our
cause. There are associations in every
city and town of any size or importance
in Connecticut, and alsoa state associa-
tion. We must come together and
make prepa aliens and when we strike
we must strike as one man. This will
take time and should have careful fore-
thought. This association positively
shouid not dabble in politics'and as a
body never will, yet we 5 Iould as indi-
viduals be careful in the selection of
the men to whom we lend our support,
especially in the choice of representa-
tives to the legislature. Not only
should we try and remedy the old laWs
but we should watch with a keen inter-
est those new ones which are being
continually brought up and may tend
to work to the detriment of our inter-
ests as merchants, citizens ztnd'taxpay-
ers.
