A Thiefs Use Of Good Opportunity

Montague Williams, the famous Lon.
don lawyer. tells in his "Reminiscences
curious Nhecdote of 3 gentleman who,
going tos deep in railway carriage in q
compartment having but one other occu
pant, woke and missed hi watch. In
stantly he accused his fell fveler OF
stealing it. The other inceJhslntly de-
MED the charge, but wai' arrested.
When the case came up in Bow street the
prosecutor, greatly confused, stated that
he had made lamentable mistake, hav
ing discovered since the arrest that he
had left his watch at home that morning
by inadvertence. Nothing remained but
to tender his sincerest apologies to the
innocent man in the dock. Sir James
Ingram who was presiding in the court,

how liable we all are to make these mis-

the great value of the watch, had taken
this simple method to obtain possession
of it. Nor did the victim ever see his

Five Thousand Lepers.

A Paris paper publishes information
received by private letters from New
Caledonia, which is calculated to cause
some anxiety. 1t appears that leprosy is
spreading in New Caledonia in most
alarming manner. OF 40, 900 Kanakas
no fewer than 5000 are described as
suffering from the terrible disease. Till
quite recently the public authorities had
taken no measures to prevent it from
spreading; but now two subordinate
colonies have been created --onc on Goat
Island in Dumbea Bay, and the other in
Canala at a spot known as the Pic des
Morris. Every inhabitant recognized as a
leper by the Medical Commission is TO
be confined in one Of these leper colonies.
The correspondents Of the paper declare
that this measure has been delayed too
long to prove Of any great use, and that
It is NOT applied properly Three Euro
pcans have already been attacked by this
| incurable disease.

THE STORY OF CAIN.
DR.. Geo. T. Purves Tells the Tale In a
New and Original Manner.
CRIME TRACED TO ADAMS FALL.
A Valuable Source of Theology Touched
on by Rev. E. ?. COWan.
OTHER PULPIr TOPICS OF YESTERDAY

The story of Cain is impaired new inter-
as, when delineated with such fidelity to
tbe master passions of the human mind as
Dr Purves portrayed in his sermon of last
evening at the First Presbyterian Church.
A large congregation was in attendance.
The text was from the fourth chapter of
Genesis. the thirteenth1verse: "And Cain
said unto the Lord: MY punishment is
greater than can bear"
DR.. Purves painted the descent of the
stream of sin upon the newborn world and
its newly created inhabitants as the logical
sequence of the expulsion Of Adam and Eve
from the Garden of Eden. Not only SO, but
the demonstration OF the awful human pas
sions of jealousy and anger was all the
more significant because the murderous con-
summation took place in the offspring OF the
first human couple. The inevitable conclu-
sion is that that great crime was the legltl-
mate fruit of the sin OF Adam and Eve. Dr.
Purves maintained that the passions which
found a vent in the killing of Abel had been
in a measure restrained by the awful moral
drawn so early in the history of the world.
A vivid picture was drawn of the opposite
types of character presented by the brothers
Cain was depicted as moody, rebelllous, re-
Tengeful He considered the expulsion OF
bis parents from Paradise as an act of gross
injustice and evidently meditated schemes
of reprisal Abel was of an imaginative
disposition and gentle in his ways and man.
ners. Cain was lazy and slothful and will
ingly adopted the life he led as husband
man, depending upon nature to do his work.
Abel was glad to find constant responsible
ties in the care of his sheep. The opposite
nature of the brothers was also shown In
their sacrifices to the Most high. To this
day the division of the bad and good in
human nature was upon the same lines.
Continuing, DIR. Purves graphically re-
lated the story of the crime that stained the
first pages of history. Taking up Gains
agonized complaint that the punishment i'm
posed for his crime was beyond his endur-
ance, a strong moral was leveled at the heads
of those who do wrong and then seek to
evade the consequences of their SINS Gains
modern prototypes were described as being
numerous, but their punishment for all de-
grees of crime certain to be meted out.

THE EXILES AT BABYLON.


First of the Series of Sermons on the Cap.
tivity of Israel's Children.
Rev. John H. Prugh preached the first OF
a series of sermons on ''The Captivity" last
night at the Grace Reformed Church. His
special subject was "The Exiles." He
described Babylon as 1t was at the time
when the children of Israel were carried
there as captives. There is nothing there
now in the way of monuments to mark the
spot: there are no outward signs of its past
greatness. The temple of Baal surpassed
all others ever erected for the worship OF
any God. 1t was the seat of influence
for the Hebrew race.
Mr.. Prugh then took up the children OF
Israel and dwelt upon their captivity and
incarceration. He pictured their sufferings.
They were subjected to to the expressions OF
the people of Babylon; they were scourged,
whipped, and even put to death. Their
sufferings as church and as people were
such that there was a constant wall. But
their deliverer came, as will also deliver
ance come to those who in this present day
undergo sufferings for Gods sake.

Magistrate Hyndmau Discharges a Prisoner
That Omcer Cross Wanted Held-A
Rather Remarkable Scene Follows
Some of the Comments on the Case.
At the police station matinee yesterday
there was one scene not contemplated in the
original programme. which occurred
through a change being made in the stage
manager, J. B. Hyn6man presiding instead
of John Gripp. The newiy-appointed Po-
lice Magistrate Leslie was present as a
spectator. The case in point was the arrest
of four known hard characters named Frank
Coyle, Thomas Moran, Ed Steele and Joseph
Armstrong, who were acting suspiciously
around Grant street yesterday morning.
They were cornered after q chase in Clark's
court by Officer Cross and held as being i'm
plicated in the recent Hill robberies. The
first of the quartet to face the music yester-
day morning was Frank Coyle, who was
promptly discharged by Magistrate Hynd-
man. The charge preferred by Officer Cross
nesses could be procured to show their COM
plicity in the robberies. The officer testi-
fed to Coyle's habits of loafng
around the streets, never working,
but annoying respectable citizens, but the
officer grew angry at the discharge of the
prisoner, and remarked that he had three
other thieves locked up, but that if they
were all going to be liberated he would wait
for Magistrate Gripp's return before pre-
senting the cases.
Magistrate Hyndman reproved the officer
for his manner of addressing him. and giving
Officer Cross notice that he would be re-
ported to Chief Brown left the station
house. ..-
1t has been arranged now that Assistant
Superintendent O'Mara will appear against
the prisoners this morning. They are all
we'll known to the police officials of the
First district.
Inspector McAleese would say nothing of
the merits of the case in point, as the COM
plant, if made, would be in the hands of
Chief Brown. He thought the officers
opininion of known bad characters should
have weight in the courts, as the police are
directed to keep track of such people, and
to discourage the officers by discharging
prisoners without making thorough inves-
tigatlon would have a tendency to demoral-
ize the force.
An East End officer said, in speaking OF
the case, that the men of the Second district
were preparing petition to Mayor GouHey
not to reappoint Magistrate Hyndman, as
he was in the habit of discharging prisoners
who had to be recaptured in order to prove
their guilt and rid the community of sur
plus criminal population.
There were 35 cases disposed of altogether
in the police court yesterday morning, ten
of which were sent to the workhouse.
