burglars Pursued and Captured.

WHEATON. March 1.-Two burglars entered
the residence of L. L. Hyatt at an early hour
Sunday morning. One of them held revolver
to Mr. Hyatts head, while the other ransacked
the house. After they left, Hyatt arose, got
together posse of neighbors and started in pur-
suit. The burglars were surprised while eating
breakfast at Turner junction One of the posse
presented his gun and asked them to throw up
their hands, which they did But suddenly one
of them dashed out of the door, followed by H.
d. Compton, who filed his back with bird shot,
which brought him to the ground. He got up
and ran for about two miles, but was finally
chased into a barn. Two of the party entered
and called upon him to surrender He attacked
them and tried to get away the revolver carried
by Charles Mack. In the struggle it went off,
the ball hitting the burglar between the eyes.
but not killing him. Both burglars were brought
to Wheaton and consigned to the care of the
sheriff. The wounded man will probably die.

HE LOOKED THE LADIES OVER.
An Advertiser Reads the Bible to Women and
Tells Them that He Wants q Wife.

boston Special
In one of the daily papers about week ago
appeared this advertisement
Wanted-A lady cultured, refined and educated,
and of genial disposition. Such person will find
good wages and pleasant home. Address
-, fremont street. o'clock Saturday, P. NJ
This was no doubt read by a large number Of
women who were looking for some occupation,
and Traveller reporter happened to meet with
one Of those who had answered the advertise
ment in person. Calling at the time appointed,
the door was opened by gray haired man, who
asked at once: You want to see the minister
s'Well," replied the woman, II don't know any
thing about the minister, but came in answer
to the notice in the paper"
'.All right" was the answer given in de-
mure, sancti6ed tone of voice. "I'm not the
man; I'm door-keeper in the house of our Lord
walk inn
''What have got into nowr was the inward
thought as the woman entered; but as the door
was opened into parior and disclosed large
number of others on the same errand, she gained
courage and took her seat at the end of the line
interested to see the affair out. There were old,
gray-haired and young women. teachers, nurse
girls and chamber maids. Seeing an empty
chair beside a good, motherly-looking woman,
the applicant went up to her and asked:
"Do you know what this isln
'Well. no. don't I've no idea, and I pre-
sumo its nothing I want. but l thought they
might be looking for a nurse in a family; or,
perhaps, some one to travel with an invalid
Now, I've travelled everywhere with different
people, and so thought I'd come over"
All around was dead silence except for the
repeated answer in the hall, which could be
heard to every new conner: I'm not the man;
I'm door-keeper in the house of our Lord; walk
in." At last, as the clock in the room struck the
hour, the door opened and in walked tall
elderly man, dressed in black and with a couple
of books under his arm. Walking to a table he
seated himself, eoughed cleared his throat and
gave out hymn to be sung then quietly placed
his spectacles on the top Of his forehead and
looked the women over, while they did their best
to sing, according to the programme. After this
q passage in the Bible was read and the minister
arose and offered prayer, seemingly addressed
to the women present.
And now the business of the afternoon was to
begin. The minister again arose and all was at
tention. He stated he was descended from a
Quaker parentage. and the letters he would read
to them about himself would show that he was
known az man kind, sympathetic and good
hearted that he gave large sums Of mony to the
poor; that he was great reader and possessed q
large library and having a farm in the South he
wanted to take back with him a wife, and he had
taken this way to assemble all these beautiful
women together, and he was glad so many had
replied He would now dismiss them after they
had sung another Of Moody's tunes, but he
wished every one who was not already married

jubilee Mission at St. Francis Xayier's
Catholic Church.

The Rev. John McGeough, G. S. S
H., will preach Jubilee Mission in
st. Francis Xavier's Catholic Church
in this Town, beginning on Sunday
the 18th inst, at 10 o'clock a. M, and
continuing TO, eight successive DAYS,
there will he two services each dav.
morning and evening. The Reverend
Father preached a Mission in this
Town some five years ago and we
have not forgotten his huency of Ian.
guage nor his eloquence. The Re-
demptorist Fathers, of whom he is one,
are known everywhere for their zeal in
the cause of the Catholic faith, and for
their effective preaching in recalling
the faithful to their duties towards the
Church.
A Jubilee is season of spiritual
JOY, accompanied with penance, aims
giving and public prayers. A Jubilee
is one of the most holy as we'll as one
OF the most revered traditions of the
Church. For times immemorial it has
been used by the Church during eras
of disaster, of plaques and of war; also
to revive the lukewarm faith Of her
children.
Popes on ascending the seat of St.
Peter have ordered Jnbilees to ask the
prayers of the faithful in their behalf.
When prosecuted the Church through
Jubilees of joy accepted the blows of
the executioners as fit penance for
her sins; at the voice of the predica-
tors of the Jubilees, the crusaders
grasped the cross of penance and hurl-
ed back the enemies of the Church;
when the avenging angel with flashing
sword, was spreading far and wide the
plaques of the wrath of the Almighty,
the Church with bowed head girted
with the rope of penance, clad with
the cowl of repentance, on Bonded
knees and through her Jubilees sooth-
ed the Divine anger.
Acknowledging, then, the fact that
Jubllees are necessary as means to
recall men to their duties towards God
and His Church, the Catholic Church
has always extended universal invi.
tation to all to assist and Join in their
exercises and prayers. We hope,
therefore, that our fellow-citizens will
not fail to answer the call of Rev.
Father McGeough to come, to hear and
to be convinced.
