ROBBERS CAUGHT IN THE ACT.
Went in Cohen's Racket Store Under
Policeman Murphy's Eye.

A successful attempt to rob Cohen's
Racket Store at Broughton and Mont
gomery streets, was made about $3.50
O'Clock yesterday morning by three negro
men, one Of whom was caught.
Policeman j. Murphy saw three men
acting suspiciously, He watched them
without disclosing himself, and shortly
afterwards, saw them go to the Mont
gomery street window of the store, and
with a diamond glass cutter, cut a pane
OF glass from the window, and begin
helping themselves TO everything that was
within reach. Meantime the officer had
been approaching, and was almost upon
them before they discovered him, when
they did see him they ran down Mont
gomery street, although the policeman
fired five times in his efforts to stop them.
The policeman had been following them
as he fired, and now finding his pistol
empty and useless, he put his best foot
forward and ran one of them down, the
other two getting away in the darkness.
When caught the man had part of the
booty with him.
Mr.. Cohen was notified of the robbery,
and after an examination, found that only
two dozen suits of underwear were miss
ing. The greater part of these were car
ried off by the men who escaped.

O'clock. ...----......
Manager A. P. Doyle will call HIS card
of racing this afternoon at $3.50 o'clock
This will give the patrons of the park
time to enjoy their Christmas dinners and
see the first race.
The harness race will go one heat and
the running events will be called immedl-
ately after. There will be no delay be-
tween the events. Manager Doyle noti-
fed all owners yesterday that he will en-

the harness event. The Charleston entry
Phenon is looked upon as a dangerous can
didate for first honors. Opus is in good
shape, and with A. b. Cook be-

good showing for herself. George. Palmer
has pretty good one in the gray mare
Pauline.
There are seven entries and all will
score down for the word.
In the running events the horses are
well matched, and all of them are fast
sprinters. There will be no walk overs

every inch of the ground from wire to
wire. The 5s-heats event is a puzzle to
the talent from the fact that nearly all
of the candidates can step around the

T. l. Mallette of Way Station, while
visiting in the house of some friends at
No. 517 Indian street last night was badly

offense at something that Mallette had
said.
According to the story told by the in

friends. were spending the evening with
F. B. Bennett and family. who occupy the
house Among the party was Dudley,
who had evidently been drinking and did
not seem in a good humor, though he
could not be called drunk. The CONVEX
sation, which was general, became too
personal to suit Dudley, though it was
said there was nothing at which he could
reasonably take offense. Suddenly turn

wanted to see a monkey show, and before
she could divine the meaning of his words,
he had drawn knife and attacked Nal
lette. He gave him two vicious cuts,
both on the head, one across Inc top OF
his skull and the other almost the entire
length of his forehead. Mr.. Bennett,
who had started to his feet as the row
commenced. managed to catch the hand
that held the knife and got a long SLASH
across the fingers as a result.
Others of the by-standers managed to
hold Dudley. and prevent him from car

SEVENTH STREETS NEW PASTOR.
Rev. j. A. Smiths Pastoral Address
to His Conversation.


At the morning service at the Seventh
Street Methodist Church yesterday the
pastor, Rev. j. A. Smith and the officers
of the church devoted the time to address,
ing the congregation on the various deplrt-
ments of church work and explaining the
necessity of the hearty cooperation of the
congregation in order to make the work
success.
Mr.. l. Rowland spoke on "Consecrauon,"
which. he said, was the only preparation
for successful church work and Mr. J. L.
Christian discussed the Sunday School in
it's relation to the church.
Addresses were also made by Mr.. w. Fl.
Fifer, who spoke on Church Attendance:
It's Benefit to the Member and to the
Church." and by Mr.. A. B. Crosby whose
subject was the relationship of the mem
bers 10 the Board of Stewards. An ad-
dress was also made on the Epworth
League and its work by Miss Edna Cour-
voiser.
Mr.. Smith spoke of the pastor and his
work THE claims and responsibilities
Of a new year" he said, ARE upon US,
and by Gods help let US make it the best
year of our lives. To realize this in all
of its fulness we must have unity, ag-
gressiveness, enthusiasm, conservation,
and above all the baptism of the Holy
Ghost. Under the blessing of God and
your help, il is my fixed purpose to dis
charge all the duties of Il pastor in the
pulpit and among the people. The eyes
of the Lord and the conference are fixed
upon us. They are expecting great things
at our hands. Don't let us disappoint
them. Let me affectionately suggest some
ways in which you may both help the
pastor and yourselves: Always be pres
ent at every service unless provi-
dentially hindered. Let no trivial
excuse keep you away. Empty pews
are not encouraging to the pastor, or con-
ducive to the highest interest of the
church. See that your children attend Sun
day school, Help the pastor by informing
him of any who are sick or in trouble; by
inviting strangers to worship with us; by
kindly greeting visitors; aud by making
all feel welcome to our church. Advertise
your church.
Contribute cheerfully and literally to all
of the regular assessments and collections
of the church. Contribute weekly or
monthly if you can, and your stewards
will thus be saved the embarrassment incl
dent to bringing up arrearages in the end
of the year. God loves a cheerful giver."
Study how to help your church move
forward unitedly; pray much in secret;
and may God be with us and bless us; and
make this year one of great spiritual
growth to the church. We can succeed! We
must slcpaedi'

day was Sunday may have accounted in

The relaxation of the usual effort that is
made TO turn Christmas Eve into the pam
demonium that is only more pronounced,
possibly, on Christmas itself.
The weather was al that could have
been desired. with the possible exception
of just little too much wind that came
out of the west with a rather chilling nip.
Yet the freshness of its searching blasts
was not in keeping with the popular ac-
ceptation of Christmas weather, and it
was with but little discomfort that those
who had fixed upon a ride or a drive as
pleasant mode of spending the afternoon
carried out their plans.
It is seldom that there is such a run
on livery stables as was made during the
day. Long before the afternoon many
calls for teams had been made, and long
toward o'clock the proprietors We're tell

streets and roads were enlivened by many

The comparative calm probably pre-

the noises to-day viii bring forth win in

peaceful country, far from the throng of
youngsters whose duty will be construed
as necessity to make Christmas hideous
with uproar and dIscords.
The police were kept busy all day and
early this morning harvesting the usual
Christmas Eve crop of law breakers None
of the charges are serious, the most inn
portant being carrying concealed weapons.
As is usual at this season the greatest
number of arrests are for drunkenness and
disorderly conduct.

LITURGY OF THE CHURCH.
1t Has n Real and Beautiful Meaning,

Rev. ]. L. scully preached at ST Paurs
| Church last night the fourth of his series
Of sermons during advent. His subject
was symbolism of the Divine Liturgy"
the sermon being. as Mr.. Scully himself
| expressed II. the elimination to which he
had endeavored to lead his congregation.
In the beginning OF his remarks, Mr..
Scully called attention to the symbolism
that prevails throughout the universe and
to the effort that man has made to in
terpret It through the ages. The signs
of the zodiac were but symbols, he said,
and but family expressed by the constel-
lations to which these names had been
given. That they had been named was
but an evidence of the fact that man
sought to interpret the secrets of ma
ture and of natures God and the
same fact obtained throughout all history
and all experience.
The liturgy of the church." said Mr..
Scully, lis symbolical of the worship we
ere due and that we strive TO pay to the
Most High We do not come to His
churches to listen to a sermon from some
man, even though he be robed and an
nointed as a priest, but that we may
seek with humble mien and contrite
hearts the throne of heavenly grace.
The manner of our worship, ordained OF
God, is symboicai of It's Divine origin and
meaning and intended to bring us into
closer communion with the Divine Spirit.
There is nothing so beautiful, there is
nothing so truly typical, as this symbol
ism of our worship.
THE ignorant are prone 40 think" said
Mr.. Scully, that there is nothing in the
manner of our worship, sometimes even
to sheer at It and to call it rituaism But

subject and thus been brought to an I'M

that has had its birth in a Christian coun-
try, has been founded on the liturgy of

sued in the English Catholic Church Is

subscriptions for the Children Stin
Needed and Solicited.

Superintendent Otis Ashmore acknowl-
edges the receipt of several contributions
to the fund for the purchase of school
books for the children who lost theirs in
the academy fire, and whose parents
would find 1t difficult to defray the cost of
a new set. Some few of the books needed
have been turned over to Mr.. Ashmore,
and are as acceptable as cash.
The response to the appeal in behalf of
the children has not been what it should.
In all there has not been more than $26
subscribed, and that is not enough by a
great deal. 1t is believed at least $500 will
be necessary for supplying the poorer
children with all that they lost. The dis
parity between that amount and the
amount already contributed however,
should deter none, as every little helps.
Mr.. Ashmore has kindly undertaken the
direction of the fund. He will be its Gus
todian, and viii see that ii is used to
the best possible advantage in relieving
those most in need of it, He will continue
to receive contributions at his office at

Special Programmes of Music Were

The congregations at the morning SER
vices at the Episcopal churches yesterday
were not as large as the special pro-
grammes of music that had been prepared
with considerable practice by the choirs
might have been expected to attract. AT
some the number attending were markedly
small, though the services were interesting
and the music, as a rule, well rendered.
AT Christ Church the service was con-
Quoted by the rector. Rev. Robb White,
who also delivered the sermon. The con-
gregauon was not very large, but the SER
vice was enjoyed. An elaborate musical
programme had been prepared.
The rector, Rev. Charles Fl. Strong, did
not preach at ST. Johns at the morning
service, as was expected. His failure to do
so was due TO passing indispositon. From
that he had quite recovered by the even

er respects the service was as had been
anticipated, the music being rendered by
the vested choir.
