SURPRISED sUPT. KING.
The Lutheran Sunday School Makes
Him Handsome Presents.

Him Handsome Presents.
Supt. w. S. King of the Evangelical
Lutheran Sunday school was treated to a
surprise yesterday afternoon after service
by the presentation by the officers and
members Of the Sunday school of two
handsome silver presents, a ladle and
half-dOzen spoons.
Yesterday was the 25th anniversary of
Mr. Kings marriage, and the Sunday
school determined to show appreciation
of its jealous superintendent by remem-
bering him on the occasion of his silver
wedding The affair was an entire sur
prise to that gentleman. just before the
services were to conclude DR.. Schaeffer
came into the church basement and told
Mr.. King that he desired to take charge
of affairs for few minutes.
Thinking his visit was simply a pas
tOral call Mr.. King never suspected that
anything out of the ordinary was going
to happen. DIR. Schaeffer first had
hymn rendered and then he announced
his intention to address the Sunday
school. In complimenting it on its record
the clergyman Cleverly led UP to Supt.
Kings connection dating back nine years.
81 would rather" said DR.. Schaeffer,
"lOOking at the present and future,
Brother King, be superintendent of this
Sunday school than President of the
United States, and, incidentally, in con-
nection with the remark Of one Of our
Presidents, that public Office is public
trust, l consider you have a heavenly
trust"
DIR. Schaefer then complimented Mr.
King on his work for Christ and con-
graduated him on having reached the
silver wedding day of a happy married
life with a wife as devoted to the cause
of Christ as himself, concluding with the
presentation of the ladle and spoons,
which up to this time had been out of
sight, as "a token OF sterling silver APP
probation from a sterling Sunday school
to its sterling superintendent DIR.
Schaeder ended by hoping Mr. and Mrs.
King might live to celebrate their golden
wedding and receive a golden token
from the church they have striven to
build up.
Mr.. King replied briefly His emotions,
he said, were too deep for utterance. He
only wished his lips could frame words
for the feelings in his heart, but as that
was impossible he could only express
thanks and gratitude for the kind re-
membrance and ask God to bless each and
every member of the Sunday school.
The presents were accompanied by the
following card: with congratulations
from the Lutheran Sunday school to
Supt. w. S. King on his silver wedding
day, June f. 1888

CHILDREN's DAY SONGS.
A Happy Celebration at the Christian
Church.


Children's day was observed yesterday
at the Christian church. The pastor,
Rev. T. H, Blenus, preached on foreign
missions in the morning and the Sunday
school gave a very pleasing service at
night on the same subject. The little
ones did themselves great honor in the
manner in which they rendered their
various exercises. The children's meet
ing opened with the missionary hymn
"t'rom Greenland's Icy Mountains" after
which the scripture lesson was read and
prayer was offered by the pastor. Far,
Far Over the Sea" was then sung by the
school, after which which Miss Floy
FOlger recited "The Heather Countries. !"
Meta Fretwell and Maggie Thomson
recited THE Two Seas" after which
came a long and interesting programme
of music, recitations and responsive
scripture readings. The children par
ticipating in the recitations in part were:
Vixian Dufour, Ethel Fretwell, Marie
Strobhar, Elise Yonge, Will Bythewood,
Dan Bythewood, Carrie Glass, Luevoa
Krieger, Jessie Taylor, Willie Meloni,
Bruce Dufour, Medium Thomson, John
ME F'retwell Louise F'retweIl, Eva
YOnge, Ralph Yonge, Edna Haupt, Eva
Smith, Joseph Barnwill.
The exercises throughout showed good
taste and careful instruction. At the close
the children handed in the missionary
collection envenlopes containing a good
collection for foreign missions. The
church was handsomely and profusely
decorated for the occasion and the bright
flowers and happy faces of the little ones
presented a pretty picture.
This was the 18th anniversary of
Children's day of the Christian church.
AT the first collection twelve years ago
$3.50 was the aggregate amount collected
of the schools of the United States of this
church. Last year the collections for the
day amounted to nearly so, 600 and this
year it is expected to reach SIS, 900.

TO BE SENTENCED TO DIE.
Sammy Thorpe Likely to Hear His
Doom To-day.

Doom To-day.
The June term of the superior court
will convene this morning at 10 o'clock,
and probably one of the first things to
take place after the machinery of the
court is put in operation win be the pass
ing of the death sentence upon Samuel
Thorpe, alias Sammy dc Kid ?" the muir
derer Of Charles Brinson, who was re
fused new trial by the supreme court a
few weeks ago The experience will not
be new one to the young murderer, as
he heard his doom first pronounced sew
eral months ago, on which occasion he
showed little feeling and in reply to the
usual question as to what he had to say
answered that as he was a colored man it
made no difference what he said. This
brought forth stirring reioinder from
Judge Falligant that the law knew
neither color, class nor condition in its
pursuit of criminals, but would follow all
alike with the determination of sleuUh-
hound
There is a heavy criminal docket for
this term, and Solicitor General Fraser
will be kept busy for weeks in clearing il
up. There are six murder cases to be
disposed of, Joe Blois and Marion Hey
ward, the alleged Meyer murderers, who
were granted a new trial by the supreme
court; Jim Gay, the other member of the
trio, who will likely be granted a now
trial to-day by Judge Falligant; Henry
Kaine, who killed Eugene Wilson Dec. %,
last and Gugic Bourquiu and his son,
who killed G. w. Farrell Christmas eve.
The Meyer murderers will be put on
trial next week, as soon as Hon. F. G. du-
BignOn, the assistant prosecuting coun-
Gil, returns from his western trip. There
are numerous cases of burglaries, assault
with intent to murder, larcenies, etc, to
be disposed of also.

ROBBED IN THE STREET.
A Purse Snatched From a Young
Lady on Macon Street.


Lady on Macon Street.
Saturday afternoon, as two well-known
young ladies were passing along Macon
street, near Abercorn, one of them felt
some one touce her arm rather roughly.
She carried her purse and some other
articles in her hand She turned to see
who it was that had touched her arm,
and as she did so her purse and the other
articles she carried were snatched out of
her hand by man. She
quickly grabbed at the articles,
at the same time demanding their return.
She succeeded in getting everything that
had been taken from her except her
purse. The thief made off with that 1t
contained a considerable sum of money
The robbery was reported to the police
and detective is now trying to find the
thief. The robbery was committed so
quickly that the ladies in their excite
mcnt did not give sufficient attention to
his personal appearance to furnish
a very accurate description of him
They believe, however, that they
would be able to identify him if they
should see him. Some of the points they
have given the detective may lead to his
arrest.
The robbery was bold one, committed
as it was in daylight and on a street
along which people are passing all the
time. If robbers are so bold in public
places in the day time they may be ex-
pected to be even holder at night. The
police, therefore, should be as watchful
as possible, and people walking about the
streets at night should be on their guard.
