ACT OF VANDALISM
mporiaAvenueBapt Church
Entered and DespoiIed.
MUCH DAMAGE DONE
Song Books Burned, BaptiStry
Flooded, Organ Ruined.

A dastardly act Of vandalism. supposed
to be the work OF very bad boys, was
perpetrated at the Emporia Avenue Bap-
list church, corner Of Emporia and Tenth
street, sometime Wednesday night The
damage was not discovered until last night
when the people convened for prayer
meeting. Someone thus far unknown, en-
tered the church by prying a window up
and proceeded to devastate and destroy
almost everything in sight. The key board
of the organ was relieved Of all the keys.
which were broken to pieces and thrown
on the floor. and the front of the organ
was smashed and torn off The instru-
ment is almost q total wreck.
A large clock was ruined by the culprits,
who took out the works and carried them
away. The electric metre was broken and
the electric wires severed, the incandescent
globes were smashed or carried away.
Nearly all the church furniture wac more
or less damaged. The vandals, not being
satisfied with what they had accomplished
in the church auditorium, went into the
baptistry and turned on the water, after
having stopped up the escape pipe with
weeds. The water in the baptistry over
flowed and covered the entire basement
and flooded the dressing room. The lee
ture room was also disfgured. A fire was
built in the stove and fed with song books
and church literature, but the pulpit Bible
the sacred volume which Vandals and
despoilers have never yet been able to
wholly obhterate-was left unmoIested in
its accustomed place.
Rev. Miller, pastor of the church, says
he thinks the perpetrators Of the act,
whoever they are, entered the church for
the purpose of playing cards, and were
probably drinking, as evidence of a gen.
eral bachnalian revelry existed when the
church was opened for prayer meeting.
Cards were scattered about the room and
there was filth almost everywhere.
Rev. Miller says there Is not the least
clue as to who committed the act, so
far as ne knows.
The police department was notified and
will endeavor to run the culprits dowp. 1t
is said that the Eighteenth Street Presby-
terrain church was similarly molested not
long ago, but the damage done was not
SO great.

English on Shamrock's Defeat.

afternoon papers illustrate the
sportsmanlike view taken by all
sections of the English press of
Colum bias victory yesterday. The
ST. james Gazette says:
"Our regret for the Shamrock g
second defeat must be outweighed
by our satisfaction at the fact that
the accident was provided against
beforehand, and that, therefore, no
opportunity for misunderstood
ing exists on this occasion.
"The Shamrock's gear reached
cracking point first, and the fact
that the Colum bia outsailed her at
the same breeze shows that the
American boat is the better. which
it is just the object of these matches
to settle one way or the other.'

through all the Junior classes Before
reaching the age OF 16 he passed the
final examination In the government
College OF Preccptors. He then took
his degree as doctor Of philosophy,
which accounts for the titlc by which
he is universally known.

Professor MoltZer Of Amsterdam, who
declined, but recommended Leyds, and
the latter soon found himself Installed
as the legal light Of the Transvaal and
its people. In 1888 Leyds was pro-
NOTED to the state secretaryship. an
office Of which the holder is elected ev-
cry four years by the yolksraad. After
the expiration Of his second term in
1896 he was sent abroad as European
representative.
The secret service OF the Transvaal
Is an extensive affair. and to its thor
oughness is due the foreknowledge
which headed off the Jameson raid
and succeeded for years In foiling ev-
cry scheme of the uitlanders. In fact.
1t looks as If the innermost secrets Of
the British ministry had been made
known to the Boer leaders through
some agency not yet identified. In the
Rpnr ,f
many employees, and the system of
shadowing and counter shadowing is
elaborate and efficient. Every agent
receives his pay through an interme-
diary channel, SO that no traitor could
possibly disclose anything beyond his
own personal opinions.
1t is not an easy thing to become a
Transvaal secret agent. The ante
cedents of each applicant are carefully
looked up and his motives and ambi-
tions investigated. II accepted, he is
put at work on probation for nine
months, during which time he is care
fully watched. His salary ranges from
f5 to f10 week, with n contingent
bonus at the expiration of his term. If
satisfactory reports are sent to head
quarters regarding his trustworthi-
hess and abilities, the novice, at the
completion of the nine months, is
sworn to secrecy and acquainted with
the more important branches Of the
service. He is then engaged for a
period Of two years at monthly sal
ary of from f35 to ESQ. with all travel
Ing expenses. If he has to make long
journeys to the continent or elsewhere.
the salary is considerably increased.
The Transyaal recognizes the value Of
incidental expenses in connection with
secret service work, and the manner in
which the secret agents get rid Of
money in European capitals would be
revelation to the simple Beers who con-
stitute the backbone of the republic.

criticise the means IL the ends are sat

Every one knows the man who is
notorious for so telling q story as to
destroy its point. An English noble
man, Lord p, was noted for his sue
cess in thus running the prosperity OF
a story. The author of Collections
and Recollections" exhibits a specimen
of his lordship's peculiar art.
Thirty years ago two large houses
were built at Albert Gate, London, the
size and cost of which seemed likely TO
prohibit tenants from hiring them. A
wag christened them "Alalta and Glib
raltar because they can never be
taken"
Lord P. thought this an excellent
joke and ran round the town, saying TO
every friend he met:
81 say, do you know what they cali
those houses at Albert Gate? They
call them Malta and Gibraltar because
they can never let them. Isn't it aw-
fully good?"
Some one told Lord 2. the old rid
die, why was the elephant the last
animal to get into the ark?" to which
the answer is, because he had to pack
his trunk"
Lord p. asked the riddle of the next
friend he met and gave as the answer,
Because he had to pack his portman.
