with the very greatest reluctance,

his charge under all circumstances.
He was, however, final y persuad-
ed that for any other person to
attempt to carry out the multitude
of details which had been under
the exclusive preparation of Mr..
Hobson might endanger the sue
cessful execution of the daring
scheme.
"There were hundreds of vol

There were $50 volunteered from

from all the otter ships of the

Washington, June II. .-Ad :

Secretary Long a cipher dis

from Port Antonoi, which is said
to contain news of the utmost
Importance.
It is known that the delay in
sending troops to assist Sampson
in holding the grounds which he
is bonn harding daily at Santiago
and adjacent points has greatly
irritated the Admiral.
His message this morning is
supposed to deal with this phase
of the situation and to urge upon
the Department the expediency
of haste. He also designated to
the Department the number and
the names of the ships he has
sent to meet and reinforce the
conveys. ~
The newest plan of the Admin
istration which contemplates the
holding of troop SHIPS near Key
West until Monday does not meet
the approval of Sampson. He
wants transports to sail imme-
diately, so he will not have
to reduce the Spanish fortifica-
tioas one day only to have to do
his work over again the next
day for lack Of troops to drive
the Spaniards away from the
coast

IF the church in the home loses
it's place, the church elsewhere
will exert less influence for good.
There are thousands of profess
ing church people who go to
church when they feel like it
once on Sunday when every Cir
cumstance is favorable, who rent
a sitting or pew and giye some
thing when present for the sup
port of the services: who call
upou the clergy when they want
their children baptized, their Off
spring married or some dear one
buried, and whose religion ends
right there. The great majority
of such people never seem to res
alize that there is any duty rests
ing upon themselves as parents
aud guardians Of the souls of
children; they do not or will not
see that the church to he a reality
must be something more than a
place of resort on a clear Sunday
morning; that religion is some
thing more than listening to a
sermon once a week and paying
pew rent four times year. Re-
vive the church in the home and
you strengthen the church else
where; revive the church in the
home and you will breathe an
atmosphere of realism all the
time instead of inhaling it for an
hour and a half on Sunday; res
vive the church in the home and
your religion will begin to have
a depth of meaning in it, sense
of reality about it, measure OF
importance attached to it, that
Iyou have never dreamed of hith-
erto; revive the church in the
home and the church elsewhere,
with its lessons, it's liturgy, its
sacraments, it's Offices, will ac-
lquire new sweetness, an added
beauty, fresh interest and a per-
sonal attachment for you which
comes as revelation. The scales
drop from your eyes as you see
the beauty Of system which in.
cludes all, father, mother ano
children, in the same covenant
of grace, and you thank God ano
take courage as you realize as
lyou never have before the bless
edness and the comfort of the
words 1.-The promise is unto yor
and to your children"
| But there is another great ar.
gument for the revival of family
religion. We are living in DAY
of great danger. The Christian
faith is set up, as it were. fo1
a target and all men who cal

SYSTEMATIC STEALING.
The Home of George Hinson is Searched
and Dry Goods Galore Are Found
and Recognized.

anu Dry GOO0s GaIOre Are round
and Recognized.
Daily Argus of Saturday.
The Mayors Office this morn
ing looked like an auction store.
Remnants and whole bolts of
calico, and dress goods, shoes.
pants, buggy robes, towels and
notions were strewn all over the
room and there was a. large
crowd of spectators watching
the policemen who were acting
as clerks IN packing and unpacks
ing the different boxes for the
several merchants around town
who recognized the mass of the
goods as coming from their
stores.
George Hinson, a white man
who has been working as a street
hand for the city for several
years, stands accused of stealing
these articles. The magnitude of
the unlawful business that he has
been carrying on may be guessed
at from the number of those who
have been his victims.
Among the large pile of goods
which were displayed at the
Mayors Office Messrs. Hood &
Britt, Messrs. Smith & Scott.
Messrs. Rizzell Bros. and Messrs5
B. Cohen & Co. recognized sevs
eral articles as coming from their
stores. There was still a large
pile left on which there were no
marks and they were not identis
fed.
The manner of the discovery
of this continuous stealing, which
has been going on, perhaps, for
several years, was very simple,
and yet officer N. G. Price, who
searched the house and made the
arrest, deserves great credit for
this important piece of work.
A calico shirt waist which Hin
sons wife had sold to a lady ac-
quaintance, led to the discovery Of
the stealing. The lady wearing
the shirt waist did not hesitate to
tell where she bought the goods
from and thereby hangs the clue
to the whole thing. Officer Price
with his usual alertness discovered
the secret, and going to work
found others who had purchased
goods from Hinson. r. eyi-
dence yes ttb thnmiiiuich miiuch ANN nna.-1sient
and disne. oeared a search warrant
and warrant for arrest, and went
to Hinson's home yesterday at 6
O'Clock, in company with officer
Denmark, searched the house, OBJ
tained the goods and put Hinson
under arrest. He was locked up
and will be given hearing before
Mayor Peterson Monday morning.
The evidence, already obtained is
conclusive as to Hinson's guilt
and he was sent TO Jail this morn
ing to await the findings of the
Mayors court on Monday at 10
O'Clock.
