QHE PINEs. PUTNEY HILL

Dear Sir,-I am no less houored than
gratifed by your expressed wish for my
opinion ON so grave d question as that on
which you ask, and can only say it
seems to me a waste of time to apply di-
rec,ly or indirect to the cardinal or pope
for any relaxation or modification of the
most mons rus claims ever put forward
by the church. Force and force alone
could obtain even show of justice, de-
ceucy, or fair play from the ministers
and agents of religion which has never
yielded one j,t of its atrocious preten-
sions except under sheer compulsion of
absolute nece +sitv. Yours most sincerely,

Gently published by the state govern

thor, it is probable that before MANY

be developed in the seeds of the rub

yield an important quantity Of oil,
which is said to compare favorably
with linseed OIL Up to the present
time this oil has been extracted only
in small quantities; but with the more
systematic regulation of the rubber

decd, true that such oil can be made
from tho seeds of the rubber tree, and

may be that from this will be pro-

O'MALEY IN JAIL
End of a Search That Has lasted


End of a Search That Has Lasted
Two Years.
Chicago, Sept. 1.-The last of the.
gang of trainmen who in five years
time managed to steal upward of $780,
600 worth of freight from the Mime
apolis, st. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie
railway, was arrested to-day. After
continued search without a wink Of
sleep for Sc hours Officers Overdue
and Mcclure captured Conductor
O'Maley, for whom the Pinkertons:
have been looking for two years, and
placed him in the Stanton avenue sta
tion. The entire gang, with the ex-
ception of O'Maley, was run down a
couple Of years ago, convicted and
given long sentences. A reward Of
$4,000 was offered for O'Maley's ap-,
prehension. but in spite of the fact
that the Pinkertons and other detec-'
tives have been after him for two
years. he was sharp enough to keep
out of their way. About a week ago
Lieut. Bonfield learned of O'Maley's
presence in Chicago. and wrote Sheriff
Underwood at Sault Ste. Marie to see
If the reward was still good. Instead
of replying the sheriff sent the letter
to the Pinkertons Detectives called
upon Lieut.. Bonfield and requested
that he make known the whereab bouts
OF the much wanted O'Maley. Bonfield
replied that he was not working for
Plnkerton or his health The Pinker-
tons appealed to Chief Badenoch. Mr..
Bonfield explained the situation to the
chief, who told him to make the arrest
himself. Officers Overdue and Nc
CURE were put on the case, and after
some clever work landed their man. \
