The Detroit Telephone Company ha& enthusiastic public and popular support. Think of a metallic circuit telephone in your house for 25 dollars a year or in your office for 40 dollars a year!

Lieutenant C'osgrovo then took up i no ennse, wtiioti ended In tin death of tho fugitive. 1'ho man ran down Lawndalo avenue and then turned Into Twelfth street. Tho lieutenant wassooti joined by three of hi ofthvr, Policemen Hyun, Clark, and Koran, and with thi assist ance it proved an easy mutter to bring tho man to bay. The burglar wa not much of a runner and wasn exhausted. Tho nftlccr closed In upon him, only to bo called upon to bear away a corpse. II s.-arclieil for Money.

At tho time of tho tragedy nono of hi family wa at home, and they did not return until tho police had taken possession of tho place, In order to establish tho charge of burg lary against tho (lead man and relievo their conscience. Of thi there wa found ample evidence, though the burglar aptinrcntly wa able to lay hi hands upon little that ho cared-to carry away. V hat he took, irmiiio to say, wa nn umbrella lK-longing to Mr, llrackcn. Why ho did not attempt to take more bootr 1 acrilcd to the fact that ho Isn-amo frighto.ied at the approach of Lieutenant t'osgrove, whom ho must have seen through the window.

Tho burglar wa extremely well dressed for a man In tho oill nary every day thieving business, and it i supposed ho would not have attempted to carry aw .y such lMoty a d thing and the like, even if he had been given the opportunity. The boys who discovered him were play ing about the neighborhood at tho time. Thoy live within a short distance of tho Bracken house And hare an acquaintance with the inem!T of the family. Thus they were able to toll that the burglar wa a stranger In tho house.

Announce ment was made by President Cleve land at Oray (Sables Monday night of the appointment of David It. Francis, ex-governor of Missouri, as secretary of th Interior, vice Hoke Smith, who recently resigned the secretaryship be cause of his financial views. Mr. Francis will probably assume office on Sept. 1, as that Is the date named in Secretary Smith's resignation. President Cleveland and ex-Oovernor Francis have long been close personal friends, and It Is an open secret that when the president made up his cab inet he was anxious to have him In It. He would have made him one of his otllciul family had it not been for the bitter opposition of Charles. II.
