THE HOUSE THAT CANT BUILT.

A few weeks ago MT Cant dec ded to build house, so he hitched up his old gray horse early one morning and came to town to consult with contractor. As he wfshed d the house to be we'll built he decided to figure with J. s. Hendrix. Accord ingly he took that long whiskered gentleman into the front office of the Tempe house, the most convenient place in town, and laid before him his plans.
 It was some time past noon when the matter with MT. Hendrix was sat isfactorily arranged. Both gentlemen felt the need of a good meal, so tn y went across the street to the Office cafe where they replenished their ex- pended energies on the excellent food set before them from the kitchen of G. F. Richards.
 After dinner, having learned from his carpenter, approximately the amount of lumber he needed. MT. Cant went down the street to the Blinn lumber yard and spent several hours figuring with George N. Gage. He learned that he could do as we'll on lumber in Tempe as anywhere, and therefore ordered about 19,000 feet immediately.
 As he would now have more people than usual to feed consequent to his building enterprise, and as he was short on groceries, he went into the store of William Goodwin and closed the days business by placing a large order for that young merchants stock in trade.
 A few minutes later an old gray horse giving evidence of the spend care it had received at G. R. Finch'S l livery during the day, was seen leav- 1 ing toyn with MT. Cant in the buggy l behind, his characteristic foot hang l ing out of the box and a smile of swe at satisfaction Illuminating his counta- nance.
 The next morning he was in town bright and early. The first thing h. did was to stop, on his way in, at
 the H. w. Ryder company's estab- lishment and figure with MT. John ! ston on some hardware.
 1 While these two had their heads to- l gether, Mr. Hendrix went down the avenue. He wanted aid in the con- struction of the house and nothing short of Justice Meyers would do 1 him, and to make the necessary ar
 engagements with that gentleman he went around to the court house where
 the two were closeted until noon Now, then, as MT. Cant is a highly respected citizen and, further, on ac- count of his going ahead with a Sc l valuable improvement to the south side, his every move was of interest

] of a peaceful sleeper, out of respect fcl Mss Delmar's nerves; for, while she would really make a better detective than any one of you, she is only a | woman, after all, and we won't make ;he picture any more gruesome than is necessary. For our purpose we will simply imagine that the other room contains q sleeper, and that MT. Whd- by is reclining on this bed. Now, Dr. Lampi>in, when Mir. Wh:dby was hyp- notized last night and you made him get Up, did you notice whether his right hand was closed CT open?"
 T did not" replied the doctor. with a sudden start and then a questioning stare into Hendricks face.
 Then you could not tell whether he had knife in his hand when he got up on the fatal night or not?'
 "Ah! No. 1 was a fool not to th in k of that; but I could not watch every thing. One has to concentrate his mind on single idea to hypnotize success fully"
 Quite right, doctor; but, having my eyes well open last night, though l did have to look through a slit in that screen over there, l observed that Mr. Whidby, before getting up, seemed to be trying to push something away from | him. It was a knife the murderer was trying to give him. And finally when Mir. Whidby did get out of bed his hand was not closed"
 "Ah! ] see" cried Dr. Lampllin. q was very stupid"
 Not at all,' returned the detectiye, with a laugh. ''I make great many mistakes, and sometimes my mistakes help me to get on the right track ir the end. That was one point yo, missed. Here is the other Come ovc' to this window. Do you see anything unusual here?'
 II examined it early this morning.. broke in Col. Warrenton, putting on his eyeglasses, but to save my life corld not guess what you were looking at last night"
 The detective put his finger on the window-sill.
 Don't you see that little crack?"
 Plainly now," said Dr. Lampkin; put IL means uOthlnS to me.
 Hendricks looked around at the circle of faces.
 After failing to put the knife into Mir. Whidby's hand, the murderer stuck it-a big one it was, too-r:ght here. with the handle up; then he stood away and tried to make MT. Whidby Go to it and take it. He failed three 1.3t 5. You remember how Mir. Whidby would slowly draw near the window anu tiien 20 back? Well. that is the explanation. The hypnotist could not control his subject sufficiently. What did he do next? He made Mir. Whidly sit on the side of the bed, just as he did last night, you know. for about ten min utes. Then he took the knife himself. hastily, perhaps angrily, for you notice the wood is splintered a little. If he had been perfectly cool he would have drawn it out carefully. He was veXed over his failure to control Mir Whidby His next move was to hypnotize Mir. Strong into a merry mood, and then he committed the deed.

Burglars entered the residence Of Mr.
r. X. Gilbert, No. 1Ol7 Park avenue.
Sunday night, or, rather, early yesterday
morning. and succeeded in getting away
with a tine lot Of silver.
A further and very bold attempt was
made to enter the bed chambers Of the
house to get at the jewelry. Marks OF
implements were left on the doors
Yesterday morning about $50 O'Clock
officer Wren saw a suspicious-looking
man enter Broad-street pawnshop and
he followed him, and found that the
stranger was attempting TO dispose oil
some of the silverware. Another man was
with him. officer Wren arrested both OF
them and carried them to the Second sta
ton. They gave the names Of Fred. Smith
and Fred. Mcintyre. the frst-named be-
ing the man who had the stolen articles
in his possession.
Mr.. Wren had no knowledge that the
robbery had been committed at the time
he arrested the men. SO, when the case
was called i'm the Police Court, he had
simply charged the men with being sus-
picous characters They were given ten
DAYS each on that charge, pending the
preparation Of the charge of burglary.
The two men have every appearance of
professional burglars.
Smith says he came here from Washing
ton. and il Is believed that he was impli-
Gated in a number of similar burglaries
I'm that city.

The following paper, offered by Rev.

morning by the Presbyterian Ministers
Association oG'Richmond and Manches-
ter:
In view Of the fact that the Govern
ment of the United States is engaged in
"a war which naturally creates excite
ment and an unusual tension of anxiety
with reference TO the incidents of battle
on land and sea. we, the Presbyterian
Ministers Association Of Richmond and
Manchester. Judge it fitting 10 declare
our conviction that, while ministers and
people. in public and private, should pray
Gods blessing upon our rulers. upon the
officers and men of the army and navy,
and that peace with honor may soon
be established, yet 1t is The duty of min
sters TO proclaim from their pulpits at
al times nothing but the glorious Cos
bel OF the blessed Cod according TO our
commission from the Great Head of the
Church.
I'VE also urge upon our people that
they abstain on Sabbath Nrom such con-
versation and reading as may be in
consistent with the holy resting of the
Lords Day, and that they devote its
sacred hours TO the public and private
exercises of Gods worship, except so
much as is TO be taken up in works Of
necessity and mercy"
