representatives of the Southern and Cen

a Ritualist Takes Catholic Orders,
New York, September IIth.-A Proyi-
dence special says: Rev. c. w. K. Morrill,,
for two years rector of ST. James Episcopal
Church at Woonsocket, has rendered his
resignation to the Bishop of Long Island
and accepted call for the Roman Catholic
Church at Richmond, Va. This, if true,
dlsposes of the once somewhat famous
Father Morrill,, who figured in New York
fifteen years ago, as the leader of the ritual
istic party and the founder of ST. Adams,
the first attempt tointroduce English ritual
ism IN America. He has followed the half
dozen young prelates who were his con-
temporary ritualistic fathers here into the
Roman Catholic Church. st. Adams was
a failure, and Morrill, drifted into Rhode
Island, where he seems TO have quietly
taken orders in the Roman Catholic
Churh.
"A rsand of Youthful Burglars.
PHILADELPHIA, September 11th.-A boy
named McClosky, only IL years old, was
taken to the police station last night, where
he told story which resulted in the cap
ture of gang of juvenile burglars. The
child showed two gold chains, with trinkets
attacked, which he said boy named Harry
Sholl had given him 10 sell. He had be-
come acquainted with Sholl while playing
on the streets, and while talking with him
had gained the information that his play
mate was the leader of band of burglars
The arrest creates great interest, on account
of the responsibility of many of the gang,
who have been lured into crime by evil
literature and companions. The eldest was
IS years old. They occupied ar empty
house in populous neighborhood. Six of
the gang were arrested. The last burglary
committed was the house Of Alfred Box, a
family in the country. The booty repre-
sented not less than $500 worth of property,
including several heavy articles, such as a
typewriter. The leader told the police
" II you hadn't come soon we would have
had piano, toe" They dressed in ragged
garments when about their burglaries,
passing for gutter snipes. Most OF them
had passed parental control, and will have
to take the consequences of their misdeeds.
