of that noble work going on in Christi

years ago. it is now so successful that
other cities throughout the world are
looking at its method with a view to re-
producing them.
It is a hugh kitchen, fitted with seven
great ranges, a chopping machine and
all mechanical appliances for prepar-
ing food in large bulk, everything being
run by steam. Here meals are served
and sold to be taken away for a few
cents. To be served with the meal in
the big dining room attached to the
place costs a cent or two more than to
take it away for consumption Six
cents. however, buys a. meal on all days
but Saturday, when larger variety de-
nlands a slight increase in the rates.
The greatest care is exercised in the
selection of the food. Everything pro-
vided is wholesome and nutritious, Sc
curing to the poor and ignorant just the
pabulltm that is needed. Over two thou
sand meals are sold every day. Every
thing is conducted on sanitary princi-

POST OFFICE ROBBER.
Suspect Moore Arraigned-HIs Grim
fnaI Career.

fnaI Career.
NEW YORK, June l. 1S95.-John Moore,
who was arrested last night as suspect
IN connection with the recent robberies
of post Offices throughout the country,
was arraigned before Commissioner
Shields today and held in default of
$1,000 bail to answer on Monday the
charge against him that he was con-
nected with the robbery of the post office
in Hobolzen in last December.
Moore was arrested yesterday at 145th
street and Amsterdam avenue while he
was in company with Harry Russell.
The latter was the man that the detec-
tives were after. and only the fact of
being in company with a suspect caused
his arrest.
Moore was sent to Sing Sing from
White Plains to serve a term for burg
larry His sentence was seventeen years
and six months, but he had his sentence
so commuted that he only served
little over seven years. He came out OF
Jail on the first of April last, SO that
there was no connection with the rob
berries in Scranton and Hoboken.
The Springfield, ILL.,, post office rob-
berry occurred on April 8, two days after
Moore's release from JAIL and it is hardly
within the line of possibility that he
could have been connected with that.
Robert Pinkerton was with the post office
people late last night, and it is sus-
pected that he has been working on the
robbery of the Plainfield, N. j., bank
few weeks ago when some sneakS got
away with $4,000 AS the men who were
arrested yesterday and held for the post
sneSks. and as Moore, who IS an old
crook, was found in their company, it is
suspected that he was mixed up in the
Plaintield job.
All the suspects in the cases will be ar
raigned before Commissioner Shields on
Monday at two o'clock.

Anxious Enauirers.

SAN FRANCISCO, June i, 1S95.-The
usual crowds of anxious men and women
who besieged the offices of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company at Market and
First streets on Wednesday and Thurs
day were there again today awaiting
telegraphic news from Manzanillo. They
besieged Passenger Agent Avery's desk
and asked a thousand questions about
boats and RATS and other means for
castaways to reach land. Though every
thing seems to point inevitably to the
conclusion that those who had
not already been accounted for
had probably perished not one of
the visitors seemed TO have en-
tirely abandoned hope. Mr.. Avery had
little consolation to offer. A despatch
from VIM Peters. dated San Salvador,
announcing that his son Louis was safe.
was hung up in the company's Office.

Justice Potts this morning discharged
Thomas O'Grady and Thomas Kelleher,
the saloonkeepers who were arrested for
violating The liquor law. The evidence
against the prisoners consisted of men
having been caught leaving the saloons
with pals containing beer.
Justice Potts asked the officers who
made the arrests if they had seen the
liquor sold and they replied in the mega
tive. The Court interpreted the law as
making it necessary to see am offense

to testify that the beer had been bought
