Wanted in Worcester For Cracking
n Safe,

Safe.
Last night Chief of Police Egan re-
ceived a letter from New Haven,
written by John Bean, police officer of
Worcester, Mass, asking him to arrest a
man named Rice, whose step, father is a
physician in Waterbury, and who is
wanted for robbipg a safe in Worcester
Saturday night. The letter did not give
the details of the affair further than to
say that Rice had obtained $135 and
papers belonging to one John Hayes,
and the officers had traced him to New
Haven.
Chief Egan found that the description
tailed with that of Almon E. Rice, who
is well known to the police, and the
officers were instructed to bring him in,
if found in this city. This morning
Officer Cahey arrested him. Rice de-
MES having been in Worcester during
the past five years and says that it is a
case of mistaken identity.
The prisoner was before the local
court May 80 for drunkenness, and hod
been arrested before under an assam ed
name. Chief Egan telephoned to Chief
Washburn of Worcester that he had ar
rested Rice and an officer will be sent to
Waterbury to identify the prisoner.

SWlNOL,NG SCHEME.
How a Clever Chap Has Been Working
Cunning Game.


A new swidling dodge, which was
first heard of in Meriden. has reached
this city. A canvasser calls at a board
ing house and offers to sell card bear
ing displayed head line estate Law of
Connecticut Relating to Hotels, Restau-
rants and Boarding Houses" below this
is printed the law relating to attempts
to defraud hotels, restaurants or board
ing houses, and quoting the penalty.
The canvasser asks 80 cents per dozen
for the cards and represents that
if they are posted in the rooms
throughout the house, and boarder
afterwards attempts to beat his board
bill, the state will thereupon take up the
matter and pursue the swindler to the
"uttermost ends of the earth"
The cards are cheap quality of card
board, worth with the printing about &C
cents per hundred. The representations
made by the canvasser are false. The
state will now prosecute a boarding
house beat upon proper complaint,
whether the law be posted in the rooms
or not. Persons who may receive a call
from the canvasser should report the
matter to the police and have him ar

The Episcopal Charge.

Bishop Giliitpie has addressed the
following letter to the churches in his
dloccSe:
DEAR BRETIIRFS-Sutfer the word of
eXhor:atlon rs we are entering on the
lenien fast of 1891.
lam painfully impressed that the
Lent of our communion has not the
confidence OF our own people, or the
reputation without. that ii once had.
In this sentiment / know | am not
alone. Once the annual fast was looked
forward 10 as n time of refreshing the
spiritual life, and when 1t was ended {.
its blessed results were manifest. Chris
tian people felt that they were nearer
their God and Saviour, and souls that
had been all indifference were aroused
10 spiritual realities and henceforth to
lead holy lives.
TO prominent cause of this decline
in interest and influence, | would call
your attention. Primarily may be
named, the amount and character OF
amusements which Immediately pre-
cede the season. The addicted ness TO
amusemeuts of orr day, is one great
cause Of the low tone OF the spiritual
life. To communicates even, there
would seem to be no limit of such en-
ioyment but that of opportunity. 1t is
most painful to note in the so-calied
society column of our city newspapers,
the frequent mention OF our church
people, and these with notes OF dress,
of hours and person, that offend even
cultivated tastes. In some places, COM
municants of the church are regarded
as the great promoters OF the dance
and the card table, and the patrons of
public amusements.
SD to tell, the church is helping this
'lust of the flesh and the lust OF the
eyes, and the pride of life" IN devices
from the world of pleasure, to Ill the
Lords treasury that were better empty
than repIenished by such offerings.
Now as the result Of all this, the pres
sure of amusements is in the days lm-
medately preceding Ash Wednesday
The world must get III It's reyelrv before
the Fast suspends il. How can the sea
son thus entered on bring any blessingi
How can mind and heart turn at once
from such worldiness 10 special waiting
on God? Does not this appear Is
though Lent were regarded as an In
truslon on personal gratlficaton-a
church appointment that must I've en-.
durcd, but which, if 1t may not be cur
tailed, at least shall be crowded IN be-
tween weeks OF more abundant animal
qualification.
Prepare TO sanctify n fast, " will
wash my hands IN innocency and SO
will go TO Thine altar, q Lord"
May God grant us all Lent much
blessed for our welfare here and here
after.
Yours in Christ and His Church.
