He claims to have made visits to q

quite positive that on leaving Hanover

pocket. Stopping once or twice on his
way up Washington street, he arrived
at the hotel about 7 o'clock, and after
dining, went to the Park theater with
some personal friends. 1t was here,
about 10 O'Clock, that he discovered that
his pocketbook and the diamonds were
missing, and although a careful search
was made in the theater, no trace of
them could be found. The police were
at once notified.
HerZog Is unable to say whether he
them stolen from his pocket. AS he is
man of careful habits, 1t seems prob
able that they were stolen.

SALEMS SHUT OUT FALL RIVER
Corhert Signs Articles to Meet Ftzsimmons
on 18th oi March-Socxalexis Leaves
RELY Sharkey Awarded Purse

The flying SNOWFALL turns crank's
thoughts to baseball as certainly In spring
the thoughts of the youth turn to love.
After the Christmas holidays the winter
seems but of short duration, and the
season of baseball practice is over the
land.
The principal question of local interest
will be regaro ng the future of the Paw
tucket club and the clubs that will be as
sociated with he home nine this season.
The annual Meeting of the New England
League takes place at the Quincy House,
Boston, on Monday, Jan. A.
The two hief topics discussed will be
the awarding of the pennant to Fall River
and the makeup of the League for the en-
suing yea. 1t is probable Fall River will
get the lnant, but the general opinion
expressed by the club is in favor of COM
pact circu :. with Maine clubs out. Fall
River, New Bedford and Brockton man
agements have expressed themselves to the
effect that they "want no part of the
Maine clubs in THEIRS" and the obinion of
the management and patrons Of the game
in this city has for some time been in the
same line.
The most compact circuit of clubs would
be Fall River, New Bedford, Brockton,
Newport, Lowell and Pawtucket. This
would be an ideal circuit for clubs in this
vicinity and would enable each team to re-
turn home after games played, thus avoid
ing unnecessary expense. Last season
every club in the league lost money, and
Pawtucket was only saved a neat deficit by
the sale of Yeager, Hannivan and Wal
dron.
Regarding the prospects for the team in
this city next season, properly managed,
baseball should be paying venture, but
the old saying, ''that too many cooks spoil
the BROTH" may be applied to the con-
ditions which existed here last season.
The owners of the club will act wisely If
they put good ball player at the head OF
the team and give him the absolute man
agement, holding him responsible for the
work OF the men.
AS to the ownership of the club, that is
like the railway time tables, "subject to
change" 1t is reported on what would
appear to be reliable information, that
Max Nathanson has made bid for the
F., controlling interest, and ii is very doubt
full il Mayor Tiepke will be identified with
the club this year. Whatever the changes
may be, Pawtucket has excellent material
reserved, and under proper conditions the
patrons OF the game may look for goos
ball playing here next season.
Shut Out for Fall River.
Eight goals to nothing was the tune I,
which Capt. Cotter and his men fell before
Salem last night.
The game was played in Salem, and tn
score was to o, the only goal made by tn
visitors being lost on fouls by Connell ane
Everett.
Heffernan played magnificent game in
the goal circle for the home team, his 2
stops, including some OF the most difficult
sort.
In the middle OF the second period Capt
Cotter ordered Wodtke from the floor an,
substituted Connel.

INFIDELITY.
Elder Tanner Holds That Education
Does Not Foster 1t.

AT Pythian Castle last evening, FL
der Henry S. Tanner of the Latter Day
Saints delivered a discourse ON "Edu-
cation and Fidelity
1T is claimed he said, ''that educa-
ton and infidelity are in league with
each other, but the question was prac-
tically tested in England a few years
ago, when all the most potent British
scientists declared that the whole do
main of nature showed that there was
God and that the Bible was the most
reliable of all books. The more we
learn of God and His works, the
farther we go from infidelity. Men have
tried SO long to disprove the Bible
that they refuse to listen to the most
plausible reasoning in it's support, and
any argument, no matter how falla-
cious which throws discredit upon It,,
they receive and laud the defamer to
the skies.
IF the Bible were not the word OF
God, why have the prophecies been full
filled? Unlike the prophecies of the
heather oracles, where but one naked
event is declared, those prophecies con-
tain sometimes ten and fifteen particu-
lars, which, from all appearances, We're
not credible, but in many instances
have been fulfilled after objections were
made by prominent infidels-as in the
fate of Babylon, the servitude Of Egypt,
the destruction of Jerusalem, the scat
tering of the Jews, and the restoration
Of the primitive gospel.
by analogy we determine the ways
and characteristics of men we have
never seen In the same manner we
can determine the attributes of Deity.
The discoveries of antiquarianS prove
| the authenticity and antiquity of the
Bible manuscripts. If men would spend
as much time in honest investigation
as they do in trying to disprove the
truth, we would have fewer infidels and
more followers of Bible doctrines"

ADJUSTMENTS.

AT the Clunie Opera House this even
ing Frank Bacon's dramatic company
in the new military comedy, "A Fair
Rebel" Mr.. Bacon for long time filled
the difficult role of comedian with sat
isfaction at the Clunie, and won for
himself a host of friends. He returns
with his own company for short sea-
son only in a repertoire OF popular
plays. Since the company tread the
boards at the Clunie a year ago, it has
been touring the coast from British
Columbia and Washington on down
through the principal cities of Califor-
MIA. Through the energy of Mr.. Bacon
and his representative, Mr.. Miller, the
company has secured its headquarters
at the Oakland Theater in Oakland
of which Bacon has become the lessee
and general manager. Mr.. Bacon s
plan, in conjunction with running his
own house. is to pay the Hawaiian
Islands a visit with his company in the
near future to fill contracted engage
ment at Honolulu.
The merit of the troupe may be
judged by its prolonged engagements
in Portland, Or, thirty-six weeks; in
this city, thirty-two weeks; Seattle,
eleven weeks; Los Angeles. four weeks,
and Oakland twelve weeks. Among
the old favorites still with the troupe
and cast in its plays are Frank Bacon,
Joseph Muller Howard Scott, William
Burress, Jennie Wiedman and Vir-
ginia Jackson. The company has been
strengthened by Norval McGregor,
Harry Sedely, Miss Maie Wells and Kit
tie Kerwin The plot of to-night's play
has historical origin drawn from
scenes and coincidents in and about
the famous Libby Prison, portraying
the life led by the Union soldiers
while incarcerated in the old rat pit"
