ENTERED BT THIEVES CracksmenFrightenedAwav ; Before They Can Blast the Vault. New York, Dee. 26.—Every policeman aod detective In Greater New York was search ing today for a trace of three expert batik burglar* who just missed robbing the vanlt of a downtown savings bank. The Institution which so narrowly escaped robbery Is said to lie operated lu Chambera street, and one which does not employ a night watchman. The funds, which the burglar* fulled to get, am declared to hare ran lato t(ie htiti- dreds of thousands. They had filed holes iu the door of the vault and had filled some of them with pdwder when they were fright- eued away. Is known that the three cracksmen gained entrance to the bank late on Mon day night. It Is said also that they hnd l>eeii released on that very day In h police court, after nrrest by Inspector McLaugh lln’a men on Suspicion. The police, hovv- r, could bring nothing against them, and they were allowed to go. i AT THE THEATERS MANY OFFICIALS DAVE FAILED TO FILE BONDS WITH OFFICIAL With only live day. mare In which to comply with legal regulations, only about half of the tax receivers and tax collectors of .the state have complied with tile, law requiring them to file bonds with the comptroller' general. Ubdor the law the tax collectors and tax receivers elected for 1907 and 1908 are allowed only until January 1 which to file the bond with tho comp troller. It Is astonishing how negli gent a large percentage of these offi dal* are about so Important a mat ter. Those who fall to comply with the regulation by January 1 will have no authority to discharge the duties of their offices, and to attempt to do so before having made the bond Is a mis demeanor. It Is also within tho prov ince of the governor to declare vacated such offices. Kvery mall Is bringing In the bonds, nnd the comptroller Is hopeful that all newly elected officials will have their papers here by next Monday evening.

Pearsall, of No v York, a lieutenant In the regiment of Rough Billers daring the war with Spain. SERVIAN POLICE ATTACK STUDENTS Belgrade, Servia, Dec. 26.—The bill authorizing: a loan has led to angry public feeling, which not only threat ens a ministerial crisis, but points to the consummation ot the long: predicted anti-dynastic outbreak. There was a noisy demonst ration on Sunday outside of the king’s palace. Cheers were repeatedly given for a re public. The police charged with swords and the gendarmes used their revol vers wouruling a student. There was another noisy demonstration outside the Skupshtina Monday. Princeton Glee Club. The Princeton Glee Club comes to the Grand for one concert on Wednes day night, and all society Is going to turn out to welcome the boys from the Southerner's favorite college. There are forty-seven of the boy singers, mandolin and banjo players— and all that makes a college glee. The Princeton “Step Song,” dear to the heart of every son of the old ’var sity, will open the program, and will be followed by a selection of varied numbers. Mansfield in “Peer Gynt.” Probably no production of Mr. Mans field's In recent years, certainly none since his “Cyrano,” ha} attracted so much attention as his marvelous Inter pretation of Ibsen’s “Peer Gynt,” with the Grieg music to lend Its charm. Mr. Mansfield appeal's at the Grand Thurs day night for one performance only and the house will be filled to capacity. Baldwin-Melville Stock Company. “Sherlock Holmes,’* 1 which Is being played by the Baldwin-Melvllle Stock Company at the El Dorado, Is proving to be ono of the best plays ever pro duced at this popular theater. The people of the company are well suited to their roles and the play moves with dash and spirit from the rise to the fall of the curtain. As Sherlock Holmes It would be hard to find 1 setter than Mr. Arthur Maitland, the new leading man from the Forepaugh Stock Com pany, of Philadelphia. He has made a hit with Atlanta andtences and his popularity Is bound to grow stronger as they see more of his work. . Beginning Thursday night, the Bald* wfn-Melville Stock Company will give one of their greatest scenic plays, “The Two Orphans.” This play has been produced thousands of times before au diences all .over the woi^ld. In this country It was made famoub by Kate Claxton, who charmed thousands of people night after night with It. “The Two Orphans” will be given Thursday, Friday nnd Saturday nights, with matinees Friday and Saturday. "The Lion and the Mouse." The Western tour of Henry B. Har ris’ special company In ”The Lion and the Mouse” has proved the most suc cessful recorded In recent years. The fame of Mr. Klein’s play has preceded It all over the country. And It has been played to actual capacity everywhere. December 3 marked the commence ment of the Southern tour of the play and It js proving fully an big a success as In the East and West. The Lion and tho Mouse” Is an nounced to appear next Monday nnd Tuesday, and New’ Year’s matinee, at the Grand. It Is safe to say that this will be one of the most welcome of ferings of the season at the Grand and the three performances will certainly draw large audiencea. The sale of seats will begin Friday morning. A Wee Bit of a Girl. A wee bit of a girl, a charming little soubrette, heretofore unknown In At lanta, Is the strongest Individual draw ing card of the "Me, Him and I” pr>- ductlon at the Bijou, and this fact has beep demonstrated at three perform ances, by repeated encores of her ef forts and her receptions at every ap pearance. Babette Burg, with her mass of un ruly auburn hair, her nimble feet and graceful carriage, Is In the cast hh "Seattle Sal," a lunch-counter gltl. That Is simply to have a reason for her being on the stage at all, for the^part is of mighty little consequence, hut "Me, Him nnd I” might not be quite 10 clever an entertainment with some other soubrette leading In all the dance numbers that hare been staged by Ger tie Hoffman and singing the musical numbers that the one Max Hoffman LIST DF DF The deaths recorded in Atlanta tor the year 1906, up to December 1, num ber 2,680. The total deaths tor the previous year were 2,680. In other words, as many people died In Atlanta In the eleven months qf this year as died In Atlanta the twelve months of last year. Considering the great Increase of popu lation, the proportion of deaths to pop ulation is nearly the same. If the death rate of December Is In proportion to the death rate of the first eleven moths, the total deaths for the year will be 2,820. This Is an average of 235 a monh. The following are the deaths, accord ing to months: January, 196: Febru ary, 187; Mnrch, 287: April, 279: May, 277; June, 283; July. 235; August. 238; September, 226; October, 216, and No vember, 158. It will be seen that last month the fewest number of deaths were re corded, while in March the most deaths occurred. , Besides Georgia and other parts of the United States, the following for eign countries are represented in the death list for Atlanta this year; Ger many, Ireland, Russia, Switerland, Aus tria, England.
