PLAYHOUSE THIEF
LEAVES NO CLUE
Myslury- ^isiUjiwiR---T4w44r-<4^- 4404
JKrom .Sate in Academy
of Music.
Mystery surrounds t ne ihei t of
more than $400 from the safe in the
Ai ademy of Music some time Sun
ilay morning. The police have no
< lue to work on and if the various
theories advanced none seems quite
plausible.
The combination of the safe was
worked and the bag containing the
money taken out. The door of the
sate was left open by the thief ana
was found in this condition by Man
ager I.ro Wise when he went to the
playhouse Sunday in the afternoon.
A scan h of the building disclosed the
fat e that an exit had been matte
through a screened window on the
Kighth street side. There was noth
ing to show that the robber had
made hts entrance through this win
dow .
The supposition Is that the thief
tame into the building Saturday
night and hid himself until ail of the
attai ties had gone. He then worked
the sate t ombinafTon at his leisure
and lett through the little window.
Kighth street is writ lighted in the
vicinity of the Academy and an offi
cer was on the beat all night. A
police patrol box is near the building
and this was pulled in by the. rounds
men at i! o'cbw k and again at 5
o'clock. Nothin; was seen of any
person leaving the building in the
early morning hours.
Only two theories present them
selves to the officers. The corabina
tton to the safe was known to the
person who opened U. or the thief Is
a professional 1 rat ksman. So sus
picious characters have been seen in
Richmond by any of the detectives of
lab , nor have any ..f the titles In the
State, or nearby States, reported the
operation of any professional safe
blowf r.
Victims of the robbery declare it
was fortune I that the combination
to the safe was not worked Frldnv
night, for Saturday was pay day witn
the employees of the theater AftlT each
had been paid (ift in the afaternoon
late. A sum a little more than equal
to that taken from the safe had been
paid the employees. The exact
amount taken from the safe is
$465.85.

SIDELIGHTS ALONG
WASHINGTON BYWAYS
WASHINGTON, I» C.. March 14.—
There are two avowed enemies of :
the automobile In Congress. One Is
In the House and the other ts In the
Senate. Neither overlooks a chance
to denounce the "smell wagons" In
unmeasured terms. Their antagonism
does not rest on the same principle, .
however.
The House member who is dead set
against automobiles ts Representative .
Thetus Wllrette 81m*. of Tennessee.
Mr. Sims comes from a portion of
Tennessee which U extremely priml- !
tlve. They still use oil lamps In that
section of the country. Mr. 81ms has ;
been coming to Washington long
enough to get accustomed to all the
new-fangled Improvements of the ,
city, except the automobile. The fact
of the matter Is that he had almost i
become used to that contrivance, un- i
known as It ts to his constituents.
It so happened, however, that Mr.
Sims and an automobile met forcibly !
one day and the meeting was such
that Mr. Sinus' confidence In the ma
chine was not strengthened. As he {
Is very much of a heavyweight, be
ing unexpectedly and forcibly thrown
to the ground did Mr. 81ms much less
good than It did the pavement. When
he reached the Capitol he discovered
that standing on his feet was very
much less painful than sitting down,
and sine* he had to stand up he pro
ceeded to occupy himself. He there
fore delivered a speech, declaring i
war on automobiles, automobile
drivers, automobile owners and au
tomobile manufacturers. Mr. Sims Is
now able to sit down, but every time
an automobile grases his clothes by
a mile or go or he Is startled by a
"Honk! Honk!” he unburdens his j
soul.
Senator Bailey Is opposed to auto
mobiles for a different reason. He i
likes horser—loves them, in fact. In
the few hours that his political ene
mies give hint peace of mind down
In Texas he likes nothing better than
to hold the ribbons over a thorough- 1
bred. He fears that the horss will
be exterminated In a few years and 1
for that reason he regents the en- •
croachmelnt of the gasolene cars.
HU prejudice U so evident that ,
rather than ride in the machines i
which tarry Senators between the !
Capitol and Senate olllce building he
walks back and forth twice a day.
■ If by any chance the President's |
yacht Mayflower t* cent to New York ,
to participate In the reception of Mr. ,
Theodore . Roosevelt,” said a naval
officer to-day, “he will not recognise
the Interior of the vessel on which ,
he spent many happy hours.
"When Mr. Hooseveii was Presi
dent the yacht was equipped for an
ordinary sited man. Now that Mr.
Taft U Prestdsnt we have had to
make alterations In proportion to the
else of the new commander tn chief
of the army and navy. -
"When the President was cam
paigning he never got through cuss
ing ths miserly Instincts of the man
who constructed hath tub*. No mat*
ter what hotel he visited, he found
It impossible to slip down into the
hath tub and slosh around like ordi
nary folks. He often had to he con
tent with a sponge or shower hath.
"It frequently happened that
thoughtless folk* provided chairs
with aides to them. Now it Is all
right to have aides to a chair If the i
distance from one side to the other
is great enough to permit its occu
pancy by the President of the United j
States. But in chairs, as in hath- i
tubs, what suits ordinary folks does
not meet the requirements of presi- '•
dentlal avoirdupois.
"The carpenters on the Mayflower
were the first to make preparations i
for the President's comfort. The old :
bathtub was ripped out. In Its place |
we have a marble structure big
enough for young 'Charley’ Taft to j
swim in and to allow his father a
few inches of freeboard on either aide. :
In the saloon we have real chairs. ’
hlg enough to allow the President to
sit at the table without occupying the ;
fim of the chair instead of all of it.
Everything else is in proportion, nnd i
I’ll wager that the President can get
as much comfort on hts yacht, now !
that the alterations are made, as he 1
can in the White House.”
HOW TO CARE FOR THE CON
VALESCING CHILD.
A Little Surprise Helps Along a Jaded
Appetite Quite Wonderfully.
One trained nurse who has met
with phenomenal results in daring
for children attributes her success
almost entirety to her skill in devis- j
tng "surprises” for her little patients j
at meal time. In fact, a tray with
out a “surprise” would be a bitter j
disappointment to any child under
her care, says The Delineator for j
April.
To open a baked potato and find in
it a spoonful of scraped beef, or to
discover that what seems to be a
hard-boiled egg. is. In reality, a mold
of blanc mange, is a memorable epl

their mothers are at work. It
would help this splendid ch
E.irie In the routine of & sick child's
day. This nurse claimed from ac
tual experience with children that
the chances are ten to one that In
the pleasure of the moment the
youngster will eat with unmistakable
relish whatever Is served in the way
of a "surprise.”
Whenever possible, the little patient
should be taken into another room at
meal times. The chance of air and
scene are happy combinations, and
often work wonders In the way of
stimulating a sick child's appetite;
but where the child cannot be moved,
or where there Is no other available
room In whlih to serve the meals, the
windows of the sick room should In
variably be opened for a few momenta
previous to the arrival of the tray.
Even In the coldest weather this
succestion may be carried out If the
patient Is warmly wrapped. Almost
without exception, this change of air
will be found to bring good result*
In a noticeable Increase of appetite.
The child’s face and hands should
also be waahed with cool water Just
before each meal.
Even ao commonplace a thing as
cereal, when served in some cunning
little dish, with a pretty pitcher for
the cream and an old little sugar
bowl, will be found to be far mors
acceptable than when aerved with
less attention paid to its arrangement.
Such little things taHe but Httte
extra time, bus mean much to ths
child, provided, always, he is not too
sick to notice things. *
CALLS COUNT NAMES; '
MUST GO TO JAIL
STUTTGART, March 14.—For call
ing Count Zeppelin a humbug. Har
man Lango was sentenced to-day to
live months' imprisonment. Lange
said that he was the inventor of the
rigid type of dirigible balloon, mads
famous by Zeppelin. He wrote to the
count, suggesting that they co-operate,
and when the count ignored hts let
ter, he called him the “greatest hum
bug In tl£g>< ountry." It was shown
In court that Lange's Invention plaints
were unfounded.
