Alleged Praying Thief.

He had q sanctimonious air, ana as
he knelt in prayer near the altar OF
Notre Dame church, Chicago, nobody
would have thought of disturbing his
deyotions-that is, unless there were
very good and excellent reasons for DO
ing so.
Henry Gotrox, the sexton, knew BET
fer He was of the mind that the plous
attitude was bogus So he rudely upset
the kneeling young man and caused
him to be arrested.
He didn't do this because the man
was caught in a counterfeit prayer
That is not an offense for which man

found in the church long, thin piece
of bamboo smeared with glue. Inc con

Wonderful somnambulistio Feat.

There has been much excitement and
much discussion in FELTON,, Pa, over a
story of the remarkable somnambulism
of Miss Chella Connor, the 19-year-old
daughter of A. b. Connor, the station
agent at FELTON,.
A few nights ago Miss Conner re-
tired, but fell asleep before she dis
robed. She had been in the room but
short time when she walked out of the
house and up the railroad track. None
of the family saw her leave the house
and did not discover that she had gone
until some time after. They were
greatly alarmed, and at once made a
search for her. John Lynch, who knew
the girl well, said that he saw her
walking up the railroad track, but SAID
nothing to her. The friends of the fam
lily at once started III pursuit OF her,
but were compelled to return without
her. Nearly all night they secured the
country with bicycles and carriages,

During the gold excitement of lS49

settled in Calaveras county, Cal, with
his wife. He became miner and
amassed considerable property before he
died. His widow afterward married
John G. Scribner of San Andreas. He
died few years ago and left his proper

woman thus came into the possession Of

ago and left the bulk of her worldly
goods to her "nieces and nephews" In
Ireland. naming two men and two wo-
men.
The lawyer appointed to administer
on the estate wrote to the addresses
given and learned that two OF the four
were dead and the remaining two had
no knowledge of an aunt in California
or any other place. An investigation de-
veloped the fact that the supposed Mrs.
Hogan was really Mrs. Richard Barnes
and that she had left her husband anc
four children to elope with the young
Irishman. She had kept the skeleton IL
her closet hidden for nearly 90 years
and even in death she tried to protec
the secret by referring to her children

which only bartender can use, as he
sees coins and apologies for coins of all

The finder of the coin was disappoint-

took up the coin and examined it.

the next moment it was in his pocket.
The finder of the coin paid for his beer,
