Mls.no In Jewelry Store.
Last evening shortly after t o'clock Rob
ert Wallace of the real estate firm of
N. P. Dodgo & Co., while passing the
Jewelry store of Herman Leffert on Broad

where the proprietor was. Wallace sug
gested that he was probably In the back
room, at the same time making his way
there where he telephoned to police head
quarters. Captain O'Neil responded to the
call expecting to find burglars ln the
store.
Explanations were soon forthcoming
from the three strangers, who happened
to be farmers from near McClelland, la.
Having seen the store lighted up and
finding the door open they entered. One
had with him a clock which he wanted
repaired while another of the party had
a week ago (eft a watch to be fixed and
called for it. It developed that an em
ploye of Leffert's had been doing some
work around the store and had on leaving
forgotten to lock the door.

NEW VORK, Jan. 1. Mayor tieoige U.
McClellan began today his second t'-rui as
mayor, this time of four ers. The cerc
tuuules were few, as today merely marks
the opening of a new term, not a new gov
ernment. A number of new heads of de
partments were sworn in, including Gen
eral Theodora A. Bingham as police com
missioner. After they had taken their oaths Mayor
McClellan called the heads of departments
together and told them his ambition Is to
give the city a clean, efficient mid honest
government. He alluded to nis present of
fice as "the lust public ofllce which, ln all
probability,, I shall ever nil," and said:
"Vou, gentlemen, one jour appointments
solely to the fact that 1 believe you are
well qualified for the offices to which I
have appointed you. I ahall hold you to a
strict and efficient performance of your
duty, and should any of you fail In reaching
the standard which I shall require, I ahall
not hesitate to remove you."

ershin candidate for that office. Mr.
shparn also prescntcu protests against the

ferred by the aldermen to a committee
without having been lead. Mr. Sli'-'urn says
he hopes by the protests to getka writ of
certiorari from the courts to offset the rul
ing of the board of canvassers of elections,
which seated the men whose ollices he con
tests. Mr. Shcarn Is counsel for W. R.
Hearst.
Bingham Tnkea Command.
William McAdoo today retired from tha
office of police commissioner and his suc
cessor, General Theodore A. Bingham, for
mally assumed command of the police force
of the greater city. General Bingham's
first official act was to address the in
spectors and captains of the department
who had been summoned to meet him. He
said:
We start a new year and a new deal
right here. I have been sent for to come
here and do a certain piece of work. 1 am
going to do it. I have nothing; against
you to start with no suspicion and we will
begin on the level. But by tho nine gods
of war you have trot 10 deal with me on
the level as I shall deal with you. There
will be, no spying on the men of this force.
If you are manly men. sportsmanlike men,
you will appreciate that and treat me the
same. Don t go back on the hand that
I stretch out to help you.
Mr. McAdoo greeted General Bingham
cordially, told him the police was an ad
mirable body of men and advised him to
know them well.
Mioofly Sqnnd Abolished.
One of the first olllrlal acts of the new
police commissioner was to abolish the
shoofiy squad and the vice squad. The
former was composed of "pluin clothes"
men detailed to watch the uniformed
force. The vice squad waa the creation
of the retiring commissioner and was de
tailed to secure evidence against ques
tionable resorts. Commissioner Bingham
also accepted the resignation of First Dep
uty Commissioner MiA.voy to take effect
Immediately and Whi-.B he found that the
resignation of Second' Deputy Farrell, In
charge of the Brooklyn division of the
force, had not been filed, sent a note to
him demanding his resignation forthwith.
This leaves the commissioner free to ap
point three new deputies, there having
been one vacancy not filled by Mr. Mc
Adoo after the death of Third Deputy
Undsley.
The ahoofly squad was first put Into
existence by Theodore Rosevelt when he
was police commissioner, but was abolished
by Chief Devery and revived by General
Greene.
In Praise of Chamberlain's Conah
Remedy.
Very few medicines have received so
much praise and so many expressions of
gratitude as Chamberlain'a Cough Remedy.
Grateful parents everywhere testify to its
merits. It is a certain cure for croup and
will prevent the attack if giveji at the first
appearance of the disease. It Is especially
adapted to children as It Is pleasant to take
and contains nothing Injurious. Mr. E. A.
Humphreys, a well known resident and
clerk ln the store of Mr. E. Lock of Alice,
Cape Colony. South Africa, says: "I have
used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to ward
off croup and colds in my family. I found
It to be very satisfactory and it gives me

GOOD CHEER AT THE Y. M. C. 4.
Annnnl Xeev Year's Reeepllon a Most
Enjoj-able One.
There is something about a Toung Men's
Christian association New Year reception
that reaches the right spot and makes
the 'attendant feel the better for having
attended. Iast evening's reception at the
local association rooms was no exception
to the rule; in fact. It was a fitting climax
for a most successful year In the associa
tion work and a signal beginning for what
promises to be a notable year for those
who have to do with the uplifting of young
men.
Over 1,000 persona, young and old, male
and female, passed through the association
parlors last evening and had every human
sense gratified. The sense of touch was
accentuated by the hearty hand shakes of
the board of directors who stood in the
receiving line and greeted every visitor;
light and color greeted the sense of sight,
while the aroma of fragrant flowers and
brewing coffee addreeaed the sense of smell;
musle' and eloquence satisfied the sense of
hearing and refreshments did the rest with
the sense of taste.
The association rooms were prettily deco-
rated for the occasion with evergreens
and flowers, to say nothing of posters and
other things. Shook's orchestra furnished
music. The boy's department had a cele
bration of Its own, with college yells, songs
and various other stunts. In the gym
nasium about forty acrobatic youngsters
went through evolutions to the edification
of a large crowd.
The real event of the evening was held
In the auditorium, which was taxed tolts
standing capacity. After Alexander Stew
art sang several solos and Miss Barnes
rendered piano selections, a number of
prominent citizens told why they were
proud of the lands of their nativity. Wil
liam Kennedy, who represented Scotland
in the national debate, made the hit of
the evening In a serlo-comlo. citation of
Scotland's greatness in all lines of human
endeavor. Mr. Kennedy delved Into history
and told how Scotland took England under
its wing in sixteen hundred and something.
