', lug-«Was It the Work of Tramps?

The second time within about eight
weeks the store at 61 East avenue, East
Norwslk. occupied by William Folwell,
was visited by thieves last night and

« ransacked, the burglars carrying of! sev-
oral dollars worth of cigars, tobacco and
soft drinks. The burglary was not die-
oovored until 6 o’clock this‘ morning,
when Postmaster William Hoyt entered
his office in the rear of the building.

, His attention was attracted at that time
by an open window on' the south side of
the building. He at once began an in-
vestigation and found pies, cakes and
other things strewn about the floor, but
the post office paraphernalia was not
molested. Mr. Falwell arrived later,
and after examining his place‘arrived at
:the conclusion that the thieves were
after money, but they only obtained a
three cent piece and an old copper cent

‘ dated 1837. Several half-devoured
pies were left on the counter. From the
ice box the thieves obtained plenty of
thirst quenching stuff, such as milk and
soda water. There is no clue to the per-
petrators of this robbery. The residents
in the vicinity of the store are constantly
receiving visits from midnight prowiers.
George R. Redman, of Maple avenue, in-
formedareporter that it is a common
occurence for unwelcome footsteps m be
heard at night near his house. One
theory advanced concerning the robbery
is that tramps riding through here on the
freight trains jump off and avail them-
selves of such opportunities as the F01-
vvell store affords; them for obtaining
something to eat;~

Raised $30 for their ()ullng. ,

The Naval Cadets of the Nor’waik
Baptist church, gave a pleasing enter-
tainment in the lecture-room of the
church last night. It netted about $150,
which is suilicient, it is thought. to defray
the expenses of the Cadets’ outing at
Compo beach, next week. The pro-
gramme cousistcd of piano selections by
, Miss Mary Neilson. violin solos by Miss
Olive Holt, and duets by the Misses
Belle and Ruth Robbins. Miss Alice
Bentley recited, as did Captain Fred
Hyatt, of the Cadets. Each number on
the programme was encored. and in
each instance the applause was well
merited. Refreshments were eeverl at
the claw of the entertainment.

It was Smith's Thlrd Offense.

Charles Smith, who was arrested by
Chief of Police Bradley, vesterday after.
noon, for breaking inlolhe store house
of the New York and Normik Steam-
boat company at Norwalk, was tried
before Justice Austin and bound over to
the Superior Court. He could not
furnish bonds of $100 and went to jail.
Engineer Wilson. of the City of Nor-
walk, caught ;Smith and Walter Spring-
steln in the place. Springslein made his
amps, and has left town. Smith has a
bad reputation, having been arrested
three times before, once for riding
the money drawer at Finney & Bene-
dict's grocery store, for-which he served
a reliance.

,Daubury Christin: Endeavor Unions
wiis held last night at the Congregatiouv
alchurch in Ridgeiieid. Nearly every

the addresses, scripture reading and
prayer.

The address of Dr. Young on “Chris-
tian Citizenship,” was the feature of the
gathering, abounding in telling anec-
dotesof men famous in our country’s
history, and portraying in a forcible and
eloquent manner the essentials of good
fellowship. The speaker was followed
with close attention by the large audlv
ence, and frequent applause manifested
the interest and approval of the audience
in the thoughts and practical sugges-
tions offered.

Atthe close of the meeting refresh-
ments were served and a social hour, en-
joyed, which was not the least of the
many helpful moments of a most inspir-
ing reunion, and the delegates will long
remember the lessons taught by the
many earnest workers and retain happy
memories of the kindness and hospital-
ity of the Ridgefield Y. P. S C. E. socie-
ties and their friends. i

This was no doubt the largest gather-
ing of the kind that has ever been held
in this part of the state.

The societies of the Unions had the
following representations: New Fair-
field, 1: Ridgefield Congregational, :50;
Bethel, 14: Redding, 2; Danbury Second
