LONDON, Feb. lS.-The latest discovery
made by the police in connection with the
Whitechapel murder bids fair to connect
the man Sadler, nov in custody, with the
Jack the Ripper" crime. The police
now have in their possession a sharp,
dangerous looking knite stained with
blood and showing traces of having re-
Gently been washed. The blood stains
we're examined microscopically by DIR.
Phillips, the police surgeon attached to
the Leman street police station. DR..
Phillips has no doubt that the stains are
those of human blood. This formidable
knife has been traced to the possession OF
Sadler, who wa a fireman on board the
Turkey. The police have no doubt that
Sadler was the murderer OF "Carroty
Nell
From the time that it became known
that Sadler had been arrested and was
formally charged with the murder the
greatest excitement has prevailed in and
about Whitechapel. The StepueY police
station. where the prisoner was detained,
has been surrounded by a vast crowd of
people, mostly women. Wild threats Of
lynching aud tearing the prisoner to
pieces were uttered by the most excited.
When the man was removed to the
police court an immense force OF police
was employed and every precaution was
necessary in order u prevent the White
chapel mob from lYnching the blood
stained prisoner. Opinions differ as 60
whether the man charged with the muir
der of ''Carroty Nell is the murderer
known as Jack the Ripper" The in
habitants of Whitechapel believe that he
is. but the police have not committed
themselves to an opinion on the subject
up to the present.
The knife found on Sadler is of
American make and is OF the kind usually
carried by sailors. The shalt is of nickel
and the blade. four inches long, and OF
well tempered s'eel. curves sharply to a
point. When formerly charged 10 court
the prisoner turned pale, but protested
his innocence.
The police on being asked whether they
thought that Jack the Ripper had really
been secured, replied: We'll, wen see
about thai as soon as we have asccTtained
his connection with the crime Dur
ing the hearing the prisoner ire
quently interrupted the witnesses with
such expressions as Now be careful. y
and Il want to jog your memory. -
Evidence was given as to the prisoner
injuries when he was treated at the London
hospital. Sadler said there were a few
questions he would like to ask, but he was
not in a ct condition to do so, as be had

and he had been knocked about from cell
to cell. He was finally remanded for a

A case Of secret society initiation occur
red at Harvard only ten years ago which
passes for cruelty, if not for ghastliness.
An applicant for admission to a secret So
ciety was taken TO the gymnasium by
night, and first pulled up by tackles fast
ened to his wrists and after that by the
thumbs. HIS treatment was more thar
the student could stand, and he nearly died
from the effects of it.
Another Case was of a more pleasant
nature. This n%eophyte was led blindfolded
through a great number of Boston's
crooked streets until he wa thoroughly
mystified. Then he was taken to the high
est gallery Of a brilliantly lighted theatre
and made to lean over the rail, when the
blindfold was suddenly whisked of. The
sensation of that moment, the student af-
terward said, unexpectedly finding himself
in the glare of the lights and looking far
down into the abyss of human beings, can
better be imagined han described.-New

MADE A RICH HAUL.
London Bank Thieves Get
Away With 911,00O.
The Robbers Supposed to be
Americans.
Mrs. McCabs Escapes From a
Mexican Jail.
Biggest Haul IN Years.

LONDON, Feb. lS.-A decided sensa-
ton has been caused 10 the city today bv
a daring bank robbery committed 10 broad
daylight. A stylishiy dressed man, stand
ing in the National Provincial Bank of
England. No. ll2 Bishop Gate, accosted
a clerk from a London branch Of the
Bank of Scotland who was standing at
the public counter of the National
Provincial bank in the act of making a de
post OF money. When spoken to by the
stranger the clerk turned toward him and
replied to his question. While the con-
versation. which only lasted a moment or
So, was going on a man, who was evi.
IDENTIFY an accomplice of the stylish
stranger, snatched from the clerk a wallet
containing bonds and checks representing
many thousands of pounds and ran out of
the bank.
The loss was about ell, 900. The thief
has not been captured.
The Bank of Scotland clerk who was
robbed is a youth named Mckenzie. He
is only Is years of age. Upon his arrival
at the National Provincial Bank OF Eng
land he went right to the public counter
and placed a leather satchel containing
ell 900 in Bank of England notes upon
the counter. The notes were of various
denominations from CT, 900 down.
The two thieves who so cleverly re-
lieved Mckenzie of this sun of money
are described by the police as being
''dudelike' IN the extreme. They had
the appearance of fashionable young men
about town who had plenty of money.
Police officials who are investigating are
of the opinion that the two bank sneaks
were expert American thieves who had
probably watched Mckenzie for weeks
while waiting a chance to relieve him of
sum of the money he had been IN the
habit Of carrying from the Bank of Scot
lands London branch to the National
Provincial Bank of England. Mckenzie
has been closely questioned upon all
points bearing upon the robbery, but
seems unable to furnish the police with
any further clew than a description of the
man who accosted him.
The Bank OF England notes are easily
disposed of, so that there is no chance of
the capture of the two thieves. The po-
lice claim that this is the biggest haul
of none made by bank sneaks in a gen

WASHINGTON. Feb. l8.-The census

of the bulletin is the comparative growth
of the population and the public school
enrolment. In New Hampshire, Maine
and Vermont, however, there has been a
slight decline in the public school enroll
ment. The relative gain is generally
greatest in the Sooth, but the greatest

An American missionary was once labor
ing with much learned argument to con-
vert a Chinaman, but found himself nom
plussed when the listener retorted: you
are a profound scholar; you know every
thing. Tell me, then, why you wear those
two superiuous buttons on the back of
your coat" Whether the Chinaman re-
ceived a satisfactory answer to his query or
not will probably never be known; but one
thing is certain, it set investigators to
work, and it has since been a~scertained
that the two buttons are the survival OF a
semi-barbaric custom, and that they were
originally sewed On to hold up a belt at a
time when every gentleman wore a sword.

Steps Taken to Prevent Clubs

New YORK, Feb. 1S.-Only a few
weeks ago the base ball factions were
shaking hands over the settlement Of their
difficulties and a national agreement was
adopted providing for board OF control
to settle all questions. Said board of con-
troll had a meeting in Chicago last week
and as the result ofits decision in giving
Stovey, Brer3auer and Mack to the Ma
tional League, the American Association,
at a meeting here today, deposed Presi-
dent Allen w. Thurman of Columbus and
elected in his place Louis K.amero of Gin
%cinnati. and in a brief resolution notified
Secretary Young of the national board
that the American Association withdraws
from the national agreement at once.
There was hot talk in the meeting about
Thurman, who, only a few weeks ago,
was lauded as the savior of the
national game. He was accused
OF having been faithless to
Association interests in the board of con-
troll meeting. Kramer telegraphed his
acceptance of the presidency and commit
tees were appointed to arrange a sched-
ule, etc. Another move taken was the
adoption OF a guarantee fund which will
most effectually balk all efforts of the
league to Injure the association by reduc-
ing the chances OF withdrawal of the as

Ambitious Scheme of a Bold Trnmr

VI " hoAu III
SCRANTON. Pa, Feb. lS.-The expert
ence OF a tramp who robbed a Scranton
mansion this week and carried off its fur
niture and bric-a brac in broad day Wight to
the store Of an %auctioneer, with whom he
struck a bargain that was almost consum-
mated. is about as refreshing as anything
one meets outside the pages of fiction.
The scene OF operations was the home OF
the late Horatio s. Pierce, which occupies
nearly a block on a corner 10 the fashion
able residence portion OF the city. An
observing tramp noticed the absence of
footprints going to or from the door of the
mansion. He walked to the side door,
turned the knob, and found that it yielded
readily. A minute later he was in the
parlor. There he lighted a fire in the
CRATE and made himself at home. Then
he curled himself up on an oriental rug
and had a refreshing sleep. Next day he
hred a dray and had a sideboard and pic
lures valued at 50, 900 carried off to
his name was Pierce; that he wa a
brother of the dead millionaire aud that
his rich brother had not forgotten him
after all, as he bad left him considerable
moneY and all the furniture in his late
home. Meantime Strong's suspicious had
been aroused and he hurried over to see
the attorney for the Pierce estate. There
he learned that the man was an lmpOstor,
and when the tramp returned he was ar
rested.

DIDN'T Marry The One He Intended

HARTMAN, o., Feb. ls.-Miss Molly
Cecil of this place was last week married
to c. w. Burdick, an Illinois man.
Though it was generally known that
their acquaintance was short nothing re-
markable was thought Of it. 1t now turns
out that the marriage had romantic
features. Burdick, without any acquaint-
ance with the Cecil girls, had for a year
been corresponding with a sister of the
girl he married. Having made all arrange
ments he came on to see and marry the
young woman. When they met their
mutual dislike was so marked that a
wedding with them was impossible. How.
ever, in order to avoid a sensation,
Burdick remained a few days. In the
meantime he saw, wooed, and won the
sister OF his correspondent They con,
Guided to marry before his return, and
strange to say the sister who first expected
to wed Burdick gave to the one who really
married him her weGdinP-Arcss and the

one knew of the chang" in brides, though
now all parties have disclosed the secret.

SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, August I'D.
S. Hammond, United States Dis
trict Judge, has handed down his
decision in the now famous case of
II. NJ. King, the Seventh Day Ad.
ven,ist. King was convicted
year ago of Sabbath breaking By
blowing on Sunday. He appealed
10 The Supreme Court and the SEN
fence was confirmed. Then the
Adveniists and the National Secu-
lar Association took up the case.
Don M. Dickinson was engaged as
counsel. and the case was taken TO
the Federal court last November
on writ of habeas corpus. The
application was argued several
months ago, and Judge Hammond
has had it under. advisefheht ever
since. The decision is learned
one, and dwells on the arguments
in favor OF The defendants.
The defendant is remanded back
10 the custody Of the sheriff TO pay
the fine or serve the time in lien
according 10 the sentence. The
decision is based not so much on
The constitdiiotaliiy Of The Sab
bath laws as upon the fact that
King was CONVICTED under process
Of Tennessee law. and it is not in
the province of The Federal Court
TO review the case. Malice, reli.
gious or otherwise, may dictate a
prosecution, but il Ire law has
been violated, this. fact never
shields the law breaker. Neither
do he courts require that there
shall be some moral obligation to
support a given law before enforc-
Ing II, and it is not necessary to
maintain that 10 violate the Sab
bath observance custom shall be
Of itself immoral 10 make it crimi-

be harmless in itself, because, as
