FOR RECORDER Bentleyville, April 16.

Residents and farmers of Bentleyville are up in arms against a gang of desperate thieves, who have been infesting this fection of Washington county for the past week, robbing every night. The latest depredation attributed to them is the at-temp to rob the store of S. S. Sidle, at this place, early yesterday morning. Using a pick, the thieves forced two locks off the big door.

A third lock remained secure. While they engaged in trying to remove this obstacle, a resident aroused by the noise, put the thieves to flight before they had gained entrance to the store. The same gacg then went to the chicken house of Lewis Eckberton, nearby, and stole a number of fine thor oughbred fowls. They were also chas ed from this place before they had fiiv ished their work, and in their hurry left behind a pick, which they had used in trying to force an entrance the Sidle store. Owing to the numerous depredations being committed nightly by this bold gang of thieves, nearly every resident and farmer of Fallowfield and Somerset townships are arming themselves against the operations of the bold thieves.

The police are setting traps for them Asks Damages from Coal Co. Walter G. Spragg. of Carroll towr-ship, has filed a suit for $3,000 dan -ages against tha Pittsburg Westmoreland Coal company for alleged injuries to his property in Carroll towr ship, claimed to have been caused by negligent mining operations carried on thereunder. The property of the plaintiff adjoins the borough of Donora and contains 1.4813 acres.

The plaintiff avers that the defendant company has been negligent in not leaving sufficient coal under the overlying strata to support the oveilying strata, or if they did remove the coal as above stated that it was their duty to immediately place artificial supaorts in the mine sufficient to support the overlying strata, not only during the period of the operations, but for all time to come, in as good and perfect manner as it was prior to the time of the beginning of the mining operations. Further it is averred, this has done such injury that the property is no good for agricultural purposes and for raising fruit and has made it unfit for erecting any buildincs theron, if not entirely valueless for laying out in building lots Other damages are complained of.

April 17 One of the bills pushed through in the closing days of the legislature will result in giving na tional guardsmen pay for attending drills, something they have been asking for many years.

The bill was presented by Senator Willis J. Hulincs, of Franklin, who is a brigadier general of the guard. Each company commander is to fix the time for four drills each month from November 1 to June 1 of each year. Each drill is to continue for at least 90 minutes and be followed by a school for non-commissioned officers of at least 45 minutes. Each captain is to receive $1.50, first lieutenant $1.20, second lieutenants $1.10, first sergeants 90 cents, corporals 80 cents and privates and mrsicians 70 cents.

An officer or enlisted man attending only one drill in one month shall not be entitled to any pay; and non-commissioned officers attending two drills and schools in any month and the enlisted men attending drills shall be paid the amounts specified; for attending drills three times they shall receive 1 2-3 of the specified rate and for four times in any one month they are to receive 2i times the specified rate. It is provided, however, that no officer or enlisted man shall be entitled to pay under the act who having been a member of the guard or naval force for oTie year prior thereto, is not a qualified marksman according to the regulations now or that hereafter may be established. The bill carries an appropriation of $210,000 for the next two fiscal years. The top of the mornin' to ye, broth Of Thia bin4 t4 waotha ia twnl I n.i.u rrvnhiiv. ia I help business.

GUARDSMEN Continued from Friday About half past eleven we came home, a bevy of verytlred young ladies, and so ended our first day out from Washington. Sunday morning all of the girls but two appeared for nine o'clock bteak fast. It was rather nice to know that getting up for that meal was left en-tirely to the judgment of the girls, but most of as put in an appearance. It is popularly bilieved, however, that our manager, 'and general press agent, yielded to the irresistable temptation, and stayed in his room, for he failed to appear at the morning meal, although we gave him nearly five minutes grace. When he came into luncheon he found the following placard pinned on the back of his chair, "Wanted a man." Later, Mr.

Shannon and two of the party attended services in St. Patrick's Cathedral, while the chaperon took the others for a stroll along Broadway. A great many of us have had the wrong impression of New York streets. The popular idea suggested to the mind, congested thoroughfares, where every one Kivtg his neighbor a shove to move or: instead we find that Pittsburg holds tl palm, so tar, for the atmosphere of real live "hjstling." Another point that strikes some of us who, while living very near Pittsburg for years, are still unable to tind the next corner without asking a policeman, is this: here in the world's capital, after only a day's experience, we feel confident of finding our own way because of the perfect system of mapping out the city. in the afternoon, we did quite a lot of sightseeing, taking in the Battery, the Acquarium, Wall Street, and the Stock Exchange.

Trinity church, and the Old Brooklyn Bridge, making use of street cars, the elevated or trains, the Subway, and our natural means of carriage to hurry us from one place to another. We left Mr. Connors at the Hoffman House, where they are stay ing, and returning to the Navarre just in the time for the six-thirty dinner, after which wo retired early. Monday was a very busy day for the girls, and except for a little misunderstanding in the morning concerning some shopping the girls wished to do, I believe they enjoyed it to the fullest capicity. At three o'clock in the afternoon, a regular sight-seeing car, came to the hotel, engaged for the Record party.

About twenty climbed in, and we started out to view the residence section in the Tenderloin" district? We crossed Broadway, on to Fifth and were carried down through the carriages and electric broughams of New York's Four Hundred. All the homes of the famous financiers and their families, were pointed out to us with appropriate remarks concerning each, from the twin mansions of the Vanderbilt's to the little brown-stone apartment of Hetty Green? Only someone who has been sight-seeing as a stranger in New York does it, will be able to appreciate my telling them how we enjoyed the "lingo" of our learned friend with the magaphone. He knew everything from the cost of Charles Fletcher's home, the Castoria manufacturer, down to the reason why, Mayor McClellan, had two great lights adorning his front steps. But the wav he communicated his vast amount knowledge to us, was in itself worth the price of the trip, even if we are getting it at the expense of the Record. Allow me to quote "now my dear friends, on the fah cawner of youah right, stands the mansion of J.

J. Lawrence, the man who made all his millions selling Listerine. Now this yeah mansion you will notice, has two L's over the door, one of these heah L's stands for Lawrence, the other for Listerine. Now on youah left, directly in front of you, and occupying two city blocks, stands Grant's Tomb. This yeah Tomb, was erected at a cost of $600,000, for a remembrance of our beloved General Grant.

Ulysses and his beloved wife Julia are buried and so-on 'till you wonder how we live through it all. The spin along Riverside Drive after a minutes stopover at the above mentioned Tomb, was simply intoxicating to us unsophisticated "country maidens." The homes I have no doubt are very beautiful, but I think that East End Pittsburgh, contains much more beautiful ones. Central Park, with it's fashionable equestrians, came in for it's share of hartnguing, from our experienced guide, and we sorry that the stay in that spot, was so short, but it takes a long time to see New York, and we only expect to get a very vague you about our evening's entertainment The Hippudrorre was the next on tl schedule, and about 8:30 p. we were shown to our seats in boxes near the stage. A complete one-ring circus with all the paraphenalia composed the first act and seme of the turns were really marvelous.

The second act the land of birds, and the flying ballet, about 250 persons on the stage at one time, costumed as fowls of the air, most of them flying daring the dance. We were delighted. And the last scene, a battle in the skies, with air ships suspended abjve the stage, capped the climax. The Gulden garden, one scene of this last production, was the most exquisite it has ever been our good luck to witness. Half of the stage was conformed into a mammoth pond, containing three spraying fountains.

In the finale, nine girls arose from these and posed like marble statues. The effect cannot be imagined. You can have some idea of the enormity of the stage, when you know that in the first extravaganza entitled "sporting days," they reproduced a baseball game, a one-ring circus, and a horse race, with lots of room for a packed grand stand in the back. We thought things had been going pretty rapidly so far. but they were destined to become swifter before we reached our beds that night.

When we left the foyer of the theatie, the big machine was waiting to conduct us to Chinatown and the Bowery. This was unexpected but agreeable to all. The car was left with the chauffeur at some point on the Bowery, snd we were guided by our megaphone man to the Chinese quarters. The first place visited was the Chinese Joss house. The histh priest here was very well educated and held the most honorable position a naturalized Chinaman can accept.

The mysteries of the Idols, the Shrines, the incense sticks, and the luck-blocks were explained to us in a very satisfactory manner, that is if we could forget the fact that our instructor seemed to have committed it by heart from some encyclopedia. We bought a few souvenirs here and were "soaked" in accordance with the customs of the joint, after which started out for the Chinese Theatre. It was after midnight and the play was not on. We had a look around and were satisfied. The Chinese plays, mostly Tragedies, require a very long time for producing, varying from six weeks to six months.

The Chinamen, who by the way, sits on the back of the bench instead of the seat never laughs or applauds, no matter what the shows degree of excellency, but when especially pleased takes his shoes off. This, our guide told us, was a pretty good sign, to get out as soon as con venient. We went to the Chinese Delmonicb, and made a brave stab at eating Chop Suey and rice, but with little success. Two dancing halls on the Bowery were looked into, and some, but very little ot the wickedness thrown open to the party. We took a plain soda, or a small glass ot Deer, to near me Dar tender sing, but I assure you, that was as far as it went.

We did not join in the dance. The surface is terrible; what is underneath can only be left to tha imagination. The crowd was not taken to an opium den, as was first expected, probably because they were not inclined to hit the pipe. The men who conduct the joints, rarely admit sight seers. The most touching sight of the evening was the bread-line, stretching for several blocks, in a single file of starved looking wretches.

The bowery mission provides each one with a loaf between the hours of twelve midnight and two a. m. It was hardly safe to walk in this vicinity without an accompanying officer, but we finally rea hed the car, and were whirled home turn ing in about three a. m. Tuesday we explored the Art Gallery in Central Park and found there many things that we had never seen before-Funny, wasn't it? The Knickerbocker in the evening and Elsie Janis was a peach Honest! Some of us made a tour of Bronx Park Wendesday afternoon, but I can not give an account of the trip in this short space.

We wit nessed "The Man From Home" at the Astor and Thursday at eleven o'clock the Prince George passed the Statue of Liberty, headed for Bermuda. No doubt I have written too much, for you to conveniently publish, but I sincerely hope it will be possible for you to do o.
