THE RIVER JORDAN.
Water from Palestine With Which to Bap.

Water from Palestine With Which to Bap.
tize Pittsburg Infants.
Next Sabbath morning is the regular
period for baptism of children at the Butler
Street M. E. Church. It will be more in
teresting thau usual, from the fact that the
water to be used for the baptlsmal ceremony
is from the River Jordan, in Palestine.
The pastor of the church, Rev. W.
H. Pearce, d. D., when travelling in
the Holy Land recently, filled two large
bottles with water from the most sacred
fords of that stream, and brought them
home with him to Pittsburg. These bottles
will be uncorked for the baptism next Sab
bath. There will be many proud mammas
as result.
It is still custom in Palestine for the
Arab sheiks to go down to bathe in Jordan
in great state with their families, loaded on
long trains of camels, gaily caparisoned.
The water is highly priced for baptismal
services everywhefe.

TWO BURGLARS CAPTURED
While Carrying Booty Ont of the House
They Had Ransacked.

While Carrying Booty Ont of the House
They Had Ransacked.
Officer Chisholm, of the Second police
district, neatly captured couple of young
burglars yesterday morning about o'clock
while on his way to the Fourteenth ward
station to report off duty. When he came
to the corner OF New Dithridge street and
Forbes avenue, he noticed a couple of men
acting little suspiciously about one of the
houses in course of construction on Dith-
ridge street.
The officer went to the Oakland patrol
stable and replaced his blue and brass with
citizens dress. Going back to the place he
met the men face to face coming out of the
house they had been looking at, bearing q
large sack completely filled with all sorts of
carpenters tools. They were placed under
arrest and taken to the Fourteenth ward
station, where they gave the names OF
David Beets and John Gelney, and their
residence as Ridge street, Thirteenth ward.

A CONSERVATIVE CONTRACTOR.
Christopher G. Dixon, the well-known
contractor, is a bit OF q conservative. he
doesn't like "the introduction of new modes
when the old modes have proved
sufficient" II delegate conventions could
be run on frmer basis, they would fill all
the needs of either political party, It was
nonsense, be thought, to say that mass con-
vention could not be tampered with. 1t was
Just as liable to bribery as was the delegate
convention, the only difference being that
the ''tips" would be smaller and more
widely distributed.
Isaac Cline, one of the members of the
committee appointed to carry the resolutions
passed at Saturday nights meeting in Allie
gheny to the County Committee, said: 81
was Bayne man. I worked hard for him
and I have nothing against him Eow,
but I don't think the Twenty
third Congressional district can
afford to indorse the action of the conven-
ton that nominated Colonel W. A. Stone,
and run the chances of getting reduced
maiority, or what would be worse still, in
case the Democrats put up q protectionist,
have our candidate defeated. The only in
terest / have in the matter is the safety,
reputation and honor of the district to
which belong"
DOESN'T QUITE CATCH on.
As to the Crawford county system Of vot-
ing, Mr.. Cline made the singular additional
statement that he did not believe it could
be adopted in time to be of any value in the
present difficulty. He is an admirer Of the
system, but said he did not believe it could
be secured without an act OF the Legisla-
ture.
Joseph L. Evans refused to express him
self on the political complication in the
Twenty-third district, but said he was
heartily in favor of adopting the Crawford
county system, or any other by which Dem
ocrats could be prevented from voting at
Republican primaries, and vice versa.
Inspector McAleese is not an admlrer Of
the Crawford county system of nominating.
He said it was tried in Pittsburg some 1S or
20 years ago, and was very unsatisfactory.
