In several cities numerous robberies have bceir committed in hotel rooms of late by the thieves opening the chamber doors by means of a burglar tool called "outsiders," an instrument by which the door key sticking in the lock from the inside can bo turned from the outside. It needs no genius to invent something that will circumvent the use of "outsiders." 'All that is required is a simple, plain bolt on the inside of the door.

Then if the guest complains Unit his room has been robbed during his sleep, he can bo told it is his own fault. No instrument yet invented by burglars: can get open a door properly bolted on the inside. To have bolts on the doors is a cheap way to make all the guests safe from burglary while they are asleep, and it often saves the hotel proprietor from paying for lossess much moie expensive than bolts.

In answer to the question as to whether it was the intention to run a line by or through Freeport, he said: "It was the original intention to run the lino by this city, but recent developments lead mo to believe that the road will be ljuilt into the city. I don't think there is any doubt about it. Mr. Stickney will meet your committee of citizens soon and the matter will be settled." TRACK LATINO KBXT WEKK.

Mr. Thompson said a gentleman by the name of Harris would put machines in operation next week, and the work of laying the track between here and Chicago would be prosecuted at a lively rate.

THE POWKR JJKHIVD THB THRONE. There is every reason to believe the Baltimore Ohio is tho power behind the throne in this great scheme of road, and this belief "has been strengthened by-the recent transactions at Staton Island. Mr. Bartlett, a brother of the Froeport manufacturer, who is interested in bonded warehouses in Brooklyn, was taken down to Staten Island by ISaltimore and Ohio olllcials, and a proposition made to him to operate the warehouses. Whoever is at the back of Stickuey has great confidence in his ability and judgment.
