There is fascination about first nights

TALKED TO HIS MEN.
chief Rogers Gives Them a Lecture as
to Their Duty.

The atmosphere about police headquar-
tiers last evening for a few minutes
was very torrid. Chief OF Police Rog-
ers had made a speech to the night
patrol, and It's meaning was so
plain that any one who heard 1t could not
fail TO understand what he meant. The
chief talked fast, but he talked in clear
tones. He was very cool, but he was in
earnest. He first said that he had said
something in past times about "isms. AS
for himself, he was neither a Catholic nor
a member of the opposing organization.
He then said that policemen who took the
oath TO the city and did as some had done
recently were not doing their duty.
The idea he impressed upon his hearers
was that they had duty TO perform, and
If they did not tend to their business they
would be brought up with short turn,
even IL he, Rogers, was not chief for
minute or an hour.

Special religions services.

The special meetings at the First Presby-
terrain church, conducted by Rev. A. l..
Hutchinson. are increasing in interest, and
the attendance is growing with every meet
ing. Last evening the subject was The
Holy Spirit" Some OF the points empha-
sized were that the Spirit was promised
away back in the Old Testament; that He
came TO take possession of the believer;
that He gave power for a service, and
strength for worship, and that He sealed
the labor OF those who work in Christs Vine
yard. The interest In the service is added
TO by the sympathetic manner in which
Mrs Hutchinson presides at the organ. and
in the impressive solos given both by Mr..
Hutchinson and his wife. The meeting this
q, ening Is at 5 O'Clock. The subject is

the comic opera. and only the very. very
intimates Of the amateur company were
admitted. The seats in Cordray's theater
we're wrapped in their hollow covers, and
black shadows hung In the corners OF the
house. For the soIoists IL was like singing
against blanket. and even the music lost
