NEW BISHOP FOR
 THE GREEK CHURCH
WILL SUCCEED BISHOP NICHo-
 LAS, WHO GOES TO RUSSIA.
Will Take Charge of a Diocese h. cluding the Whole Continent
 of North America.

Bishop Tikhon who will take charge of the Greek Catholic, or as it is more com monly known, the Russian orthodox church, has arrived in this city and will take charge of the diocese vacated by Bishop Nicholas. The latter left yester- day morning to enter upon his new duties as Bishop of Simpheropol and Travida, one of the most important in Russia. For the past eight years he has been doing missionary work in North America
 Bishop Tikhon arrived in New York about two weeks ago, and has been hold ing religious services in the larger East ern cities. On his arrival in New York he was given a great reception by the Rus sian Consul and prominent members of the Russian colony, but in this city there was the simple service of installation.
 His secular name Is Vastly Bellorin He is graduate of the Russian Theological Seminary and has served as the Bishop of Liublin and Vicar of Kholma in the War saw diocese. His new diocese is said to be the largest in the world. It includes the whole of North America and com prises thirty parishes, with as many churches and about seventy chapels.

A CLOCK WITH A HISTORY.
Twice Stolen and Figured Promi-
 nently in a Tragedy.

It Is an ordinary, everyday old clock, not worth more than a few dollars at best. and yet 1t has a history that led to the death of Police Officer Nicholson fifteen years ago.
 At that time Officer Nicholson was doing duty on Pacific street, from Stock ton to LaGkin, and one night in the winter time the grocery of George w. Reid, on the corner of Pacific and Jones streets, was broken into by a Chinese burglar, who gained admittance through the tram som and stole a clock. Officer Nicholson saw the burglar coming out of the store, and gave chase, following him across a vacant lot, where the Mongoltan turned on him and stabbed him in the neck, cut ting the jugular artery in so doing. Some time during the early morning the body of the murdered officer was found lying cold and stiff, with the clock beside it, the Mongolian having made good his escape.
 Reid got his clock back on Identifying 1t, and since that time it has wagged on the wall, pointing out the minutes and hours of the day. In the meantime, Reid moved from the hill and located at 153 piece with him. But once more the clock disappeared. Last Friday evening Chi naman entered the store and asked for some brand of goods that he said he wanted. The proprietor stepped to the rear of the store to find the article de- sired and while his back was turned the Chinaman removed the clock from the wall, placed it under his blouse and left the store.
 The question now revolving through Red's mind is, Was this the same China man that stole the clock fifteen years ago and committed murder in making his escape from the officer? In any case, he never wants the clock back.

client was doomed unless l could think of some way to break him down. While l was cudgeling my brains a friend whispered to me to ask him how high he could build a stack. What do you mean, I asked, in surprise. Never mind said my friend. Just slip in that question and sec So at the tail end of the oss-examination I paused, as if struck by an afterthought, and said: You are a stack builder. I be- lieve?' Yes, sir, replied the witness.
 We'll sir I continued, about how high can you build I never got any fur ther. A swift, inscrutable change flashed over the Germans face and he rose excitedly from his chair. AS high as der sky!' he roared. So high dose angels come around it like birds' In five seconds he was raving. You see, the man was a monomaniac-sane on every subject but one, and my friend happened to know lis weak spot, It is hardly necessary to say that his evil dence in regard to the homicide was promptly ruled out by the Judge, and as there was no other witness of inn portance my man was cleared. The rascal should have been hanged, and would have been but for the lucky ref erence to the stack. New Orleans Times Democrat.

SEEKS TO ENJ0IM THE
 NEW SCHOOL BOARD
MERCHANT MAKES A POINT ON
 THE TEACHERS.
Asks That His Demand Be Paid Be- fore Any Warrants for Salarie;
 Are Audited or Cashed.

The Board of Education-elect, although it has not yet taken office, was made de- fendant yesterday in an action filed by Oscar Moses, a creditor of the city and county through material furnished the School Department. All teachers in the city, and they are numbered by the hun dred, are also joined as defendants.
 A few days ago suit was instituted against the School Board and all creditors of the School Department, on behalf of the teachers, to enjoin the auditing and payment of all or any demands made by the creditors, with the exception of the teachers. A temporary injunction was issued, which successfully ties the hands of the old board.
 In this the teachers made a point, but now one of the merchants has tied the hands of the new board, which evens matters up.
 In his complaint Moses prays that the Auditor and Treasurer be enjoined from auditing and paying the teachers war rants until after his demand. which amounts to SPAS 51. has been honored
 A temporary injunction was issued by Judge Seawell, returnable January 6.

 After filling up on water front whisky Donovan went to his room and, meeting one of the lodgers in the hallway, he promptly knocked him down. Furbridge was in his room at the time and hearing the scuffle he opened the door to see what was going on.
 Donovan accused him of insulting his wife, and drawing his revolver he lev eled it at Furbridge The latter, realizing Donovan meant business, quickly shut the door of the room, hoping to avoid serious trouble. With demoniacal scream Don- ovan fired through the panel of the door the bullet barely missing the intended victim.
