A Double Sentence.

William Burke, guest of the city, who
is opposed to doing any manual labor. was
told by Judge Kimball today that he was
too dangerous a man to be at large. He
was charged with vagrancy and assault,
the assault having been committed be-
cause he was refused money. The prisoner
hobbled through the court on crutches as
If he were really a cripple, but Policeman
Reynolds, who made the arrest, told the
court the crutches were carried to gain
sympathy and also to be used as weapons.
Last night Burke called at the Hotel Ven
dome and asked Mr.. Emerson for money.
When the latter refused, the alleged
tramp struck him with one of his crutches.
Then the policeman appeared upon the
scene. The supposed cripple gathered up
his crutches and ran. 1t was with diff
Guilty the officer finally succeeded in over
taking the fugitive and arresting him.
Judge Kimball sentenced the prisoner to
six months on the farm for begging and six
months in Jail for the assault.

MODERN ROBINSON CRUsOE.
Theodore Gussmnn All Alone ON
Pacific Coral Island.

Alone on a coral reef in the Pacific, hun
dreds of miles from any other land and out
of the usual course of vessels, Theodore
Gussman is waiting to be rescued. A letter
to Charles Bsettge, friend in San Fran
cisco, which he sent by French man-of-
war that CHANGED to cruise in his locality,
describes the awful solitude in which he
has been isolated for months.
Gussman might have left his imprison-
ment by the vessel which brought his let
ter, but to have done so would have been
deserting his post of Guty. He is one OF
three men sent down to Clipperton Island
last July by the Oceanic Phosphate Com
pany, to keep possession of the company S
property and of the island.
His companions deserted him at the time
the Mexican man-of-war Democratic haul
ed down the American flag and hoisted the
Mexican standard. GuSSman refused to
leave then, although an effort was made to
Shanghai him by the Mexican captain. In
order to remain at his post of duty Guss-
man practically marooned himself, SWIM
ming ashore from the warsh;p with evil
dence Of his employers titles to the island
concealed in one of his shoes.

Result of n Hack Ride.

A young man named Edward N Allen
was before the Police Court today because
he had neglected to pay Frank Beuchert,
a coupe driver, 1915. He pleaded guilty
to the charge and made statement His
explanation was that he had money when
he got into the vehicle and he thinks he
must have lost some of it. The young
man told the court that he was here yes
terday doing work for the Baltimore
American, and when he had finished he
took several drinks. The driver, he said,
drank with him. Judge Kimball directed
him to pay the cabman the amount of the
bill. and a dollar for his trouble. He did
not have the money, but he thought Sem
ator Penrose would help him out, and the
court gave him an opportunity to write a
note to the senator.

PERFUMERIES, &c.
AN ITINJIRANT CHURCH
Railway Cars With Folding PuIpfts.
Settees and Steeples.


Transportation, next to food supply ts
the most serious problem of civilization
That is why there is such a vast number
of inventions recorded at the patent office
fer the purpose of carrying people ard
things. Some of them are very odd in
deed.
Particularly for the use and benefit CT the
evangelical missionary is a newly invented
railway car. When on the road il looks
Ike an ordinary Pullman, but, when de-
Sired 1t expands into a church, and fur
nishes shelter and housing for a congre-
CATION OF worshipers. So complete is this
travelling sacerdotal edifice, indeed. that it
, actually has steeple, which is hoisted up
ana clapped upon the top of it the i'm
| ishing touch. Many people consider that
church without a steeple is no church
at all in the proper sense, and hence the
desirableness of this part of the apparatus.
The inventor of this cathedral on wheelsi
is Albert Bierstadt, the distinguished
painter of New York. His idea sprang
originally from a recognition of the diff
culties which must be encountered by
peripatetic preachers who find themselves
so frequently in places where there is no
church. Now, IL is a fact undeniable that
religious services of any kind depend for
their impressiveness largely upon archi-
lecture. A sermon delivered from a grace-l
fully carved pulpit in the apse of superb
Gothic edifice has effect upon it's hear
ers very different from that which would
be produced upon the same congregation
by the same discourse pronounced from
the tail of cart. Hence the value of the
sacerdotal railway car herein described.
The car is useful for transportation as
any parlor Pullman. When IT reaches a
place where its services in its sacred ca;
pacity are required, ii is run off upon a.
side track But just here ii must be ex-.
planned that cars Of this kind are designed.
to travel in couples, each of them making

ing oomplete-its construction does not
take more than half an hour-it only re-i
mains to unfold a lot of settees for use-
as improvised pews by the congregation
ana all is ready for the church service
The folding pulpit, with baptismal font,
combined, is a mere detail, though import
ant for saving space. In conclusion, it,
ought TO be stated that the church is real-
ly convertible into a lecture hall or a gal.i
lery for the exhibition of pictures. Now
that the interior of Africa is being pene-
trated by railways, it will be practicable
for missionaries to carry their churchesf
with them, and to preach the gospel to-
the untutored blacks under auspices much
more favorable.

In the road which We're impossible When
he came to these places ne had wheeled I'm
upon the pavement and out again when the
road permitted.
Justice Carr dismissed the case on the
grounds that the law did not demand i'm
possibilities. Insomuch as the road was
impossible at certain places, he did not
consider that Mr.. WEIGH had been guilty OF
breaking the law

period, so much of its charter as relates to
those parts of its road shall be repealed
and the United States attorney for the Dis
trict of Columbia shall, after the expiration
of six months from the passage of the act,
if the road is not then equipped, proceed to
enforce the forfeiture of the charter and
cause the railroad company to vacate and
remove its tracks from those streets.
