ALL PRAY FOR THIEF.
Strange Scene Follows nm Arrest at
Revival Meeting In the City
of Philadelphia.

Martin Anderson was h night clerk
at the Union Mission, Columbus, O.. un-
Ill one night last November, when he
disappeared with $500 of the receipts
of the place. He has been one of the
habtues of the Sunday Breakfast asso-
citation in Philadelphia lately, imbih-
ing religion with his coffee. In a spell
of recent piety he made public avowal
of his sins, and, at the request of the
Columbus authorities, the police ar
rested him. They found him in the
midst of Sunday night revival, and
when the hands of the law were placed
on him he called on the assemblage to
pray for him. The scene that followed
does not usually accompany an arrest
The penitent knelt, and all the rest of
his brethren dropped to their knees, in
| Guiding the detective and blue-coatcd
policemen, who were impelled by the
occasion, and loud wailing TO God was
sent up for his deliverance. The sup
| plication continued for space Of ten
minutes, and then, with bowed head,
| he penitent was marched in silence
| from the hall in the clutches of the Off
GERS. He will be sent TO Columbus. The
5000 is all gone. The pinch of hunger
brought Anderson again TO the shrine
of faith and repentance.

HAS TO HAUL DOWN HIS FLAG.
Captain of U. s. s. ReSOIute at Havana
CompcIs spnninrd to Respect
the Cuban Ensign.

Capt. Eaton, of the auxiliary cruiser
ResoIute, captured a 2O-foot Spanish
1ag in the harbor of Havana the other
lay and incidentally taught 80 Span
lards a lesson in manners.
At ten o'clock in the morning Span
ish schooner Of 20 tons sailed alongside
the Resolute. where it hove to and with
a cheer of defiance from the men an i'm
mense Spanish flag was run up the
masthead with the Cuban flag beneath
it.
The captain was forced to recognize
the insult and ordered Naval Cadet Tar
rant and Marine Officer Thorpe with a
file of marines into a steam launch,
which speedily overlook the Spaniard.
The captain refused TO obey the or
der TO lower the flag, whereupon the
marines went aboard and took forcible
possession of the Spanish flag, leaving
the Cuban flag flying at the masthead.
The occupants of the schooner were
then compelled to give three cheers for
the Cuban and American flags, after
which the vessel was allowed to pro
ceed. The captured flag will be held as
prize.

DOING AWAY WITH RED TAPE.
improvements In English Post once
service-Private Mall
Boxes,

The British post office is becoming
really live concern. There have been
more reforms since the duke of Nor
folk became postmaster in 1895 than
during the previous 20 years, The
latest introduces system of private
posting boxes, located in private
houses and Offices, from which the post
men collect letters at regular intervals.
Two collections are given daily for one
pound yearly, with slight additional
cost for each floor above and below the
ground The user is not allowed to
have n key to the box. The letter once
posted becomes the property Of the
postmaster-general and cannot be re-
turned to the writer. Probably ether
facilities will follow. for G. II. Murray,
the successful chairman of the inland
revenue board, has accepted the secre-
taryship of the post Office at the special
request of, the government, which
found that strong outside man was
necessary to break red-tape autocracy

Constable Elwood .McCrackcn, of

to Jail at Kokomo the other day queer
specimen of humanity. captured in

and vicious as tiger, lie fought like

most its weight in gold. Mrs. Astor
now owns the most costly china in
America. This $4,000 set of china was
originally intended for royalty.
The china was made in the famous
Royal Mcissen factory in Dresden, and
IA sample was sent to Mrs. Astor when
she was in Paris last March. The plate
sent on approval so delighted New
York's society leader that she ordered
the china at once, with instructions tc
add the Astor crest and her own mono

KaIser's Realms want Direct Wire

The Berlin correspondent of the Lon

company is being organized in Cologne
to lay direct cable from Germany to
the United States. At the same time
VOLTS Telegraph agency, n German
gathering concern, has deter
mined TO establish a branch Office in
New York. The correspondent adds:
This semioflicial German agency has
thus far received its trans-oceanic news
through Reuger's agency "a British
concern), but evidently the campaign
which was carried on last year against
Germany by the yellow press, and
which caused great embitterment on
both sides, has induced the German
government to favor this project, by
which it is hoped to exercise some di-
rect influence on public opinion in the
