Penaaeola. Dec. Jl (Special.) For the past two weeks one of the slickest thieves with whom the poltco nave mo to contend has been success. fully working In this obtaining from residences In various parts of the city various sums, ranging from II to IT, besides a articles of value In the shape of 'watches and Pins. This morning, however, the police were shocked to learn of the work of the thief, for It became known that during the nlgbt the room of Dr.

J. A. McDonald at the Park Hotel, was entered and money and diamonds to the value of was stolen. A valuable gold watch, which rested In the pocket of the doctor's vest on the center table, remained untouched, but a ring, valued at 360, in the pocket of his trousers, was A stud button, valuod at 1450, was also stolen, and to cap the climax of the loss. a sum of more than 1500 was extract ed 'from various pockets of his cloth' In.

Dr. McDonald safd he had returned from New Orleans yesterday 'and was naturally tired after his trip. Last night at 10 o'clock he started to retire and removed his overcoat. In doing so he bethought himself of a few letters he had In his pockets and then he hurried to the postoffloe to place them In the outgoing During yesterday he had done some trad lng at soma of the stores but had exhibited no great amount of cash, and therefore waa not conscious that he had been shadowed. He went direct to his room after leaving the postof-fice and retired, and was not disturbed at all.

He was awake early this morning and looked at his watch. Then he noted that his clothing was somewhat disarranged. A suspicion that he had been visited by the robber of whom he had heard flashed over him and he himself went to searching. Then bla loss was discovered. He Immediately made a report of the mat ter.

An Interesting discovery was made In looking over the room and Its surroundings. On the window sill lay freshly plucked rose bud, and It Is the opinion now that the thief Is not negro as hadbcen originally sup posed, and It is thought that If the thief is ever caught it would be surprising, so far as the Identity was concerned. The act of the thief In this respect was very bold. Under the bright tare of an arc light the thief ascended to the second story of the hotel possibly by means of one of the supports, where the doctor's room faced. The support which It Is thought he ascended was on a line street and one block from the police station.

The person worked apparently In sight of the station and emerged in the same manner with his booty. The act, has mystified the officer more than ever. Especial protection in the way of extra officers wn thrown out during the night and these officers patrolled various portions of the city. The chief and his assistant were out through the entire night and worked In a manner they thought which would thwart the plans of the burglar. They were chagrined this morning to receive the, reports of at least three burglaries during, the night, two of which were In a neighborhood In which a special guard had been thrown.

The home of Henry Pfeiffer was entered and ransacked from one end to the other. Very little was obtained here. The home of Mrs. J. Schellen-ger, 37 East Romana Street, was entered between 12 and 1 o'clock, and the prowling man about the premise caused Mrs.

Scheilenger to wake up. She made a noise and the thief, who was then in the house, readily Jeft after getting a few dollars and a watch. Mrs. Scheilenger watched the burglar as he slowly crossed the garden and lelsurely walked down the street. She was Afraid to scream, but the first thing this morning made report of the matter to the police station.

The police are badly worried over the gang's work here. Two very minute descriptions of one of the thieve has been obtained, one In particular from Dr. C. Ray Mitchell, who resides at the corner of Reus and In-tendencla. Streets, and who was a victim of the thief on, Tuesday night.

The thief gained entrance to the Mitchell home. The doctor had anticipated this visit and had made preparations to receive the man warmly. To that end he placed under his pillow hi revolver. The burglar, evidently comprehending the situation, stole the pistol and some cash. In prowling around the house In very industrious manner, the thief caused the doctor to wake up.

The gentleman, taking In the situation, bethought himself of the gun he had placel under his pillow and sought to draw the gun. He wa surprised to realize that the weapon had been removed and was in the possession of the man who had intruded. Of course the thief had the man at his mercy and it would have been the height of folly to have grappled with him, so Dr. Mitchell watched him move about the room and saw him leave the house. It was from closely watching him that a minute description was obtained and given the offlcors.

'Prussia is negotia ting treaties with the other German States for the collective management of Slate lotteries and to thus reduce the expenses and share the proceeds on an equitable system of percentages, avoiding the multiplication of agents and advertising and removing the necessity for costly competition. Although to buy or sell a ticket in one State for lottery in another is a misdemeanor severely punishable. It is constantly done- Saxony has been Prussia's most annoying competitor by raising the capital prise and then con niving at the sale of tickets In Prussia. Thereupon Prussia was obliged to raise the prfxes and then distribute such tracts as "Why it is a duty to subcrlbe to the lottery By a clergyman" or pictures showing a young man bringing his old parents bis win nings.
