The articles raising, including two fine field glasses, clothing, silverware. They succeeded in opening the safe. Fortunately Mr. Youngs, who took a trip to Europe last summer, had placed the most of his silverware and other valuables in safe deposit vaults in New York city. The burglars came with a horse and wagon.

One of the strangest features of the case la that all the family were at home, including Mr. Youngs, and no one heard the least noise or suspected anything was wrong until the servants came down stairs 'his morning.

Flatbush Worries at the Thought That Its Favorite ocial Org nization Is in Trouble Behind in Us Rent, but Money to Make Up the Deficit W.ll Probably be Raised by Voluntary Contributions. Flatbush Is very much worried over the rumor which became current yesterday that the Midwood club was in financial difllcull ics.

The deep interest, it may be called affection, with which the residents or the old town regard the Midwood club, is due to the fact that It has grown almost into a public Institution. The beautiful white club house, built in the pure Corinthian style and set like a gem in tho three acres of magnificent lawn, shaded by trees whose foliane trembled in the thun der of the battle of Long Island, is pointed out to sirangers as one of the most attractive I features of the town. is attractive in a double sense, for round about it have risen i within the last few years scores of handsome I ana expensive dwellings, now forming the most exclusive neighborhood in tho wenty ninth ward. The club's entertainments have I always been Urst class in every respect and gotten up regardless of expense. In May, the members gave a banquet to Mayor Schleren and his cabinet, to celebrate the annexation of Flatbush Brooklyn, which was the talk of the town, Prominent people who are not residents of Flatbush have frequently been tho guests of the eiub at its social functions.

The appointments of the club house are not inferior to thoso of anv flrst class club In the city. The report of the club's financial difficulties was. therefore, hard to believe, partieti I larly so because among Its members are many wealthy men who. it was thought, would rather make good any deficit out of their own pockets than let the organization go out of existence. The club house and grounds are owned by the Flatbush 1 ark association, of which the officers are Major Gustavo A.

president; William Brown, treasurer; Edward F. De Selding, secretary. Among the stockholders in the association are John Lefferts. John 2. Lott.

William Mathews and Dr. Homer L. Bartlett. The property was bought from the Clarkson estate seven years ago. tho mansion having been occupied by the bur Matthew Clarkson for a half century.

It was acquired for the purpose of founding a club and the new owners of the property became the charter members. Any member of (he club had the privilege of becoming a stockholder in the association, but the names mentioned represent the chief holders of the stock to day. Mr. William Drown alone bidding mc third of it. The association and the club, however, were two distinct corporations, tho former letting the house and grounds to the latter at an annual rental equal lo the interest on tho investment.

An Eagle reporter called on Mr. Brown last night at Park to ascertain how much truth there was In the rumor of the club's i dillleulfies Pi. it, ii ue. i to iuhkc a trauK statement r.j the facts. Now, In tho first place the report that he club will go out of existence Is altogether unfounded.

We would never let it conic to that: no. if its obligations were fifty times what they reallv are. The club is about behind jn rent and that Is the whole story or Its financial trouble. Improvements costing several thousand dollars were made during the last eighteen months and that is the cause of deficit. These Improvements should not have been made and some of the older members were strongly opposed to the outlay because the club was not in a condition to bear the expenditure easily.

The park association has been a very lenient landlord and even now It baR not the slightest intention of pressing its claim atralnst the Huh hut tho i here, but tby have been more plentiful than lal' 'liursb. uunl on account of the new law that forbids Giou Cove, L.

As the Destruction of the Weed Is a Matter of Great Importance the Agricultural Department Has Issued Instructions How to Exterminate the Fest Something of Interest to Every Long Island Farmer. (Special to the Eagle.) Washington.

D. November 29 That section of Long Island devoted to the agricultural industry, is threatened with a serious plague In the shape of the destructive Russian thistle. For several weeks past the botanist at the department of agriculture has been receiving from time to time specimens of this weed for analysis, and there Is now no longer any As the destruction of the weed Is a matter of considerable labor, and grows very rapidly, it will be a difilcult job to check Its course unless strict measures are adopted at once to kill It. The department botanist has made a special study of the habits of this plant, and for the benefit oi" the Long Island farmers, he has prepared a circular in whioh he tells the best method of fighting the thistle. This circular will be distributed on Long Island and to other section.

at the couutry where the Russian thisile appears. In describing this weed, the circular says: "The Injury to crops is of course the must Important Item In the damage caused by Uie Russian thistle. It takes complete possession of the land, crowding out other plants, and flax, wheat, rye, barley and oats all suffer from its effects, not only in the reduction of th crop, but in the lower grade of that which Is harvested. Corn, potatoes, vegetables, and in fact nearly all cultivated crops are injured more or less, proportionately tu their lack of care and cultivation. The spiny character, added to the rigid, bushy habit ot the plant, makes It one of the most disagreeable of weeds to handle.

When mature it cannot be plowed under, and It is often impossible to plow fields at all until the thistles are removed. Hinders cannot be run where the thistles are abundant, and even the working of the headers Is seriously interfered with. The annoyance and positive injury to men and animals which they cause by their rigid spines is undoubtedly greater than that caused by any of the true thistles." In order to successfully cope with this thistle tho department gives the following advice: "No Russian thistle shall be allowed to produce seed. There must be concerted action throughout all the Infested area. If the Russian thistle, wherever found, should be killed before it produces seed during three successive years the pest would In all probability be completely exterminated, for the experiments already made indicate that the vitality of the seed is lost within that period.

But since the ground Is so easily reseeded from a neighboring crop, if action is twit taken everywhere and at one time, the work win nave to be done over indefinitely. In hsira nt.i as extensive co operation as possible should be secured, and at all events each farmcr should protect his own farm as well as he may. In doing which he will also avoid Injuring his neighbor. The want ot co operation Is a great disadvantage. Farmers in eome instances have so far succeeded in keeping the weed under that their craps have been little injured, but it has cowt a great deal In extra labor and they have been compelled to fight It every year, because of seed blown In from adjacent lands.

On thu other hand, the farmer who has not attempted to drive the weed from his farm has sustained immense damage to his crop and In some cases has even been driven front his farm. Wheat and other spring crops should bo sowed as early as possible on well prepared land, so that the crop may get a vigorous start and shade the ground before the weed seeds and germinates. The wheat may then be cut early, when there Is less danger that Che thistle plants will be large enough to cause trouble in harvesting. "By such a plan this and many other weeds growing in the stubble may be destroyed before they produce seed. The land "should be plowed as st on as possible after the weed is cut.

and If this cannot be done bef re September 1, tho stubble should be burned. The v. i.win.ti icu cLi ilUlI. thistle Is rather juicy In August, and burns with difficulty, so that it Is advisable to mow the stubble and let It dry a few days before firing. In this connection the imtmrianM i.f harvesting with a header Is to be emphasized, as the great amount of stubble left by this process furnishes material ir a more thorough burning.

The land shc uld be plowed on the stubble, or the stubble burned immediately aftsr the harvesting of a crop of barley, rye, or oats. Crops like corn, potatoes arid beets, thould be kept thorruehlv cultivated as late as possible. The extra cultivation will produce a better crop as well as kill the weeds. Spveral corn fiplds seen In the fall of 1R9" evidently produced a much better crop of Russian thistle and pigeon grass man oi corn, wnne otner nelds nearbv apparently with the same kind of soil! hut free from the plgecn grass and the Russian thistle, bore a corn crop SO per cent better. Such crops should be eultvated until they thoroughly shade the ground, and If thistles appear after that the hoe should be used, so niflcent specimens of the limner's art and! r.nrp!aont rfM ,1 costume of their times.

L. November A mass of live eels slopped the big water wheel which, runt the electric Unlit plant Thanksgiving eve, and ns result ilie town was left In nr 1 darkness while all hand gathered ta assist in taking the v.riggling from the machinery. It was a curious siyht. As soon as it le eame knowi. th' whole population turned out to see tno wonderful exhibition.

Tha Hailett eleetric litrlit plain 13 situate on Peci 11 i avenue in the large Hour mill owned by the same if.nip. Its wer is mainly supplied from the ah'indan! ponds above, and although it has a powerful steam engine in rase of an emergency, there is only use for It when the machinery connected with the big water heel give way. Thi company lias the contract for lighting the streets. On Thanksgiving eve the waf.T power wa. started as usual by the engineer and the riveet lights were turned on as usual.

So bright were the lights that the engineer remarked lhat he had a magnificent power. A little latter the power fell off, the wheels turned more slowly aud finally stopped. Then the lights went down and out. and In very few minutes darkness tuok the place of light. What could have caused the trouble no one knew.

Sag Harbor. L. November 21) A fine day favored the trotters here yesterday, and a good crowd turned out to see the sport. In the second heat of the 3:00 class Pilot's sulky broke down, and after throwing Rackett off he started across the field and ran in the grove, where he cleared himself of the sulky and turning back started down the back stretch again. On the lower turn he became entangled with Belle, who also threw her driver, and dragging the sulky with one wheel on ran neck aud neck with Pilot for nearly a half mile, when they were headed off at the stables.

Both sulkies were demolished, but neither hcrses nor drivers were Injured beycund a bad shaking up. The judges declared the heat off, but only three were allowed to start again. The team race was won easily by Whitney's team after the judges had called the second heat off on account of Rogers Interfering with Whitney's team. It Is said that Whitney's hi.rse. Dante, who won in the team and 2:50 classes, was taken In trade for three loads of corn stalks valued at $6.

Whitney began rking him for speed, and now values him at S300, which is hardly a fair estimate of his value, as he Is young, sound and can trot close to 2:30, with only five weeks' hard ling. BATH BEACH POLICEMEN'S MONEY. The Bath Beach policemen were all locking forward for their pay before Thanksgiving day and when on Wednesday evening one of the newly appointed paymasters appeared at the station there was a murmur of re joicing.

but n.t a cent could the police raise. In the first place the checks were dated November 30 and the storekecD ors were inclined to be skeptical and in the second place to cash them would clean the town out entirely or small change. There is hardly a man who has not asked the captain to get off to day to gn to the bank to get his paper cashed, and everyone cf them have been hustling for influential friends to identify them to the paying tellers' satisfaction. PROFESSIONALS AT KNICKERBOCKER. A high class variety show enlivened Thanksgiving eve at the Knickerbocker Field club, in Flatbush.

All the performers were professionals and their work was excellent, too. The many sided Hugh J.

The audience was either laughing or applauding for the whole two hours the performance lasted. Honors were even between Mr.

Emmett. Miss Loretta Tappan Green, who gave two spirited recitals, and Master Vincent Fani tti. the year old virtuoso. The boy got an ovation after playing the "Greek Pirates Chorus." by Alvars, on his mellifluous insctrumrnt. After the performance there was dancing.

A TEST LICENSE CASE. Southampton. L.

November 29 Edward S. Havens, a hotel keeper here, is fighting the board of excise to compel them to grant him an inn keeper's license. His counsel, H. M. Howell, is of the opinion that as the board had already granted several druggists licenses they were inconsistent in refusing his client's application.

Mr. Howell cbtaln ed a writ of certiorari which was dismissed by County Judge Smith, who contends that the commissioners were not inconsistent because they granted licenses to druggists He Hays the distinction they draw seems to him a valid one. Judge Smith says. "They feel bound not to grant licenses to sell Intoxicating liquors as a beverae hut Ject of a license to druggists is to enable tuem lo sen liquor lawfully for medicinal purposes only." Mr. Havens will appeal to the general term and if beaten will carry the matter un to the court ct appeals and make a test case Ol 11.
