CHURCH THIEVES.

lt Seems Probable That They E1nA II
Profitable.
In proportion to their number there
are - many churches robbed every
year by burglars and sneak thieves in
New York city - there are private
residences entered. The daily papers
report attempts to rob poor boxes, to
loot pews and sittings Of valuable fur
nishings and books. and even to remove
crosses and sacred vessels and vest
ments used in altar services.
Probably the most daring and sue
cessful attempt At looting . church in
this city was the despoliation Of the
!Thirty-fourth Street Baptist church
on the south side Of that thoroughfare,
two doors west Of Sixth avenue. This
occurred few weeks ago, and there
was hardly enough Of the interior left
to waste walls in it, protection.
Another similar case of vandalism
was that perpetrated at St. Joseph's
Roman Catholic church 1t lit Washin9-

date boxes were broken into and the Of

intruders.
Nor have these church thieves visits

Women are the real heroes of the
world. Thousands on thousands of them
endure the dragging torture Of the ills
peculiar to womankind in the silence of
home. They suffer on and on-weeks,
mouths years. The story Of weakness
and torture Is written in the drawn
features, in the sallow skin, in the list
less eyes, in the lines of care and worry
on the face.
Unborn modesty seals their lips. They
prefer pain to humiliation. Custom has
made them believe the only hope of
relief lies in the exposure of examine
