LAST YEAR law was passed by the leg
islature Of Massachusetts by which pro-
vision was made to give every town in the
state, which is without a public library,
books to the value of 500. on condition
that annual additions be made by the town.
The carrying out of this law brings tc
light the very creditable fact that out OF
351 towns Of the state, 24S already possess
free libraries. Massachusetts is a model
state on the public library question.

retail merchants have fallen into line with
the Coop, and on May l will close their
stores at 6 p. m. AS remarked, THE HERALD
does not believe this early closing will re-

time relieve their overworked and tired

DID NOT SIGN HIS WILL.

Dies Before the Papers Are Prepared.

Thomas Green, the Southside Liveryman,
Dies Before the Papers Are Prepared.
Thomas Green, the Brownstown livery
man, who was well known in that section OF
the city, died Unexpectedly last evening
after an illness of nearly three weeks.
Green was always the subject of more OF
less gossip on the Southside because of the
quiet life he led, and the fact that it had
been given out that he had no known rela-
tives.
Green's livery stable was on Carson, near
South Thirtieth street, and he had a place
above fitted up for living room. He was
known to be exceptionally prosperous, and
was supposed to have considerable wealth.
People who have known him for some time
say he would hardly associate with anyone
for the sake of sociability. His bookkeep-
ing was attended to by Mark Donley, who
was the only person that could learn much
of him.
A few days ago Green was told by his
physician that his illness might result seri-
ously. Green accordingly took his advice
and told Donley to have papers made out
willing all his property to sister at Car
Isle, Pa. 1t was then known for the first
time that he had relatives. Donley COM
piled with his request and yesterday had
the papers ready for Green to sign, but yes
terday afternoon his condition changed sud
denly, and by o'clock he died, leaving a
will without a signature. Speaking of
other relatives before dying he said he had
brother living at York, Pa, who was at
one time District Attorney of his county.
Green was about 45 years old, and although
it is not known whether he possessed any
real estate, his friends claim that his per-
sonal property, including a bank account
or two, will amount to several thousand
dollars

A Williamsport Criminal Who Es-
capped From the Sheriff
CAPTURED HERE In PITTsBURG.
Ex-Alderman Doughty Found Well Enough
to Serve His Time.
NEWS GLEANINGs OF THE TWIN CITIES

James Larimer, alias Elmer Thomas, an
escaped convict, confirmed criminal and a
desperate character, was arrested last night
at No. $40 Center avenue, by Detective
Fitzgerald. Thomas is six feet one inch
tall He weighs over 200 pounds and is
burly and dangerous looking. The officer who
arrested him looks but half his size. When
taken into custody he made no resistance,
but insisted that he was the wrong man.
Thomas has served three sentences in the
Eastern Penitentiary for burglary and house
breaking in various eastern counties EARLY
in September he was convicted of burglary
in the court of Williamsport, Lycoming
county. He was sentenced to five years
imprisonment in the Eastern Penitentiary.
While on his way to prison, in company
with II others, in charge of Sheriff
Miehaels and two deputies, and when the
train was running at full speed, Thomas
slipped his handouts and leaped from the
car window. He escaped unhurt. A re-
ward of 500 was offered for his capture, and
the police of the country were notified.
His sweetheart, the wife of one of his
goods stolen by Thomas, and was sentenced
to Jail for six months. Last week she re-
ceived letter which had been mailed on
the railroad. 1t was from Thomas. In it
he stated that he was in Pittsburg,
and gave his address. The next
day the woman wrote an answer,
pledging her undying love and assuring
him that she would never give him away.
The letter was given to the Jail warden to
mail. 1t was turned over to the Sheriff,
and was sent to Superintendent Weir.
With it was letter describing Larimer or
Thomas, and warning the police of Thomas
desperate character.
Detective Fitzgerald visited the address
given in the letter, and was there to well
come Thomas when he returned from work
last night. He has been in Pittsburg since
September 20, and has been employed as a
hod carrier. The Sheriff of Lycoming
county was notified of the arrest.

Rev. j. A. Dowie Tells What He VIII Do in
Pitrsburg-He Talks Plainly and Says
He Is a Minister Of the New Testament
Alone.
Rev. John A. Dowie, President of the
International Divine Healing Association,
will open his mission in Pittsburg to-mor-
row. The morning service will be held at
the Butler Street NJ. E. Church, and the
afternoon and evening services at the Lib
erty Street NJ. E. Church, corner Fourth
and Liberty streets Meetings will be held
at the latter church three times day dur
ing the month.
Two preliminary meetings were held yes
terday for the purpose of explaining the
objects and work of the mission to ministers
and Christian workers. Mr.. Dowie has left
his church in Melbourne, Australia, and is
teaching and practicing "divine healing" by
prayer and the laying on of hands
AT the meeting last night it was ex-
planned that there was no connection be-
tween or similarity to "faith cure," "Chris-
tian science" or "mind healing" He said:
81 have laid hands on more than 13, 900 peo-
pie, and have seen the Lords power mani
Tested in the healing of great numbers, but
l claim no power to heal That power is
Gods"
He then related how he had experienced
conversion at the early age of years, and
history of his life down to the present
time. ''The way to reach the masses is to
go to the Masses" said he. eve are too
cold, too distant / would turn every
church in Pittsburg out in the streets, and
the masses would then be reached
He said he was minister of the New
Testament. The Old Testament was from
the hand of God, but had been superseded,
in many points by the new. 81 am not
bound by Sinai, but by Calvary" said Mr..
Dowie.
Seriptural passages were quoted in sup
port of the theory that God will heal phys
ical as well as spiritual disease. ''But if you
want to get salvation you must meet Gods
requirements. He then denounced the
use of liquor and tobacco. '"The people
who are sick and want to get well, yet re-
fuse Christ, ought to die We are better off
without those who reject God. This is
strong talk, but 1 am not here to merely
please. You may not like it, but am going
to keep it up. You will get mad but you
will come back to these meetings again, and
you will bring others with you.
II am in no hurry to lay hands on you. 1
wouldn't lay hands on some of you for a
great deal. You may be Christians, but
you don't smell like it. You fill yourselves
with whisky and tobacco, and poisons in
the form of medicine. You'll have to stop
that"
Mrs. Dowie then told the audience about
the many wonderful cures that have been
effected by her husband.
