NUMBER SO
CHARGED WITH HORSE STEALING.
Sam Wren Arrested on Suspicion of Being the
Man Who Stole Chas. Whittalrs Horse.


a sorrel horse belonging to Charles
Whittall was stolen from the hitch-rack
in Mendon Tuesday night, August so,
and an ''old plug" left in its stead, as
was also Mr.. WhittaIl's saddle and
bride.
The animal that was LETT at the
hltch-rack in place of Mr.. Whittall's
horse was one that was seen in the
possession of Sam Wren of five miles
northwest Of Keytesvile the day pre-
vious, and he tried to trade it to Al
Dick, who lives on Mrs. U. CornwaIl's
farm, near Newhall 1t was this
which led to the suspicion of Sam
Wren as being the party who had
"swopped" horses with Mr.. Whittall
without the latter's consent.
Among others who started in search
of Mr.. Whittall's horse, a nice six
year-old sorreI gelding for which the
owner had refused $Ioo, was Consta-
bic S. J. Shaughnessy of Salt Creek
township. Mr.. Shaughnessy came to
Wren's home and found a horse, an
sweriug the description Of the one be-
longing to Mr.. Whittall, at the barn
of James Wren, Sans father The
officer started back for Whittall's to
get better description of his horse.
In the mean time telegram came
from Mendon to Sheriff J. R. Demp-
sey, which was confusing in its nature.
and led Mr.. Dempsey to believe that
one of Mr. Wren's sons had ridden
off one of his (Wren's) horses, hence
the,telegram was shown to the senior
Wren.
Before Mr.. Shaughnessy could re-
turn to Mr.. Wren's the supposed
WhittaIl horse mysteriously dlsap-
peared, the Wrens stating that it
had escaped from the pasture.
Sans Wren's arrest by Constable
Shaughnessy followed, and he was
taken before Justice Nathan Clair of
Salt Creek township and gave bond
in the sum of 81, 900, with his father
and John Martin as security, for APP
pearance at his preliminary trial next
Monday.
Sam Wren is single, IS or "a years
old, and so far as we know has
always borne a good reputation here
tofore. He claims to have traded,
with a man west of NewhaIl, for the
horse Mr.. Shaughnessy found in his
(Wren's) fathers barn, but, ,the name
and tail of the Whlttall horse, which
were cut off after the animal was
stolen, were found in James Shaugh-
nessy's pasture about quarter of
mile east Of Newhall, if the right clue
has been obtained.
Sam Wren is respectfully connected,
and we hope for the sake of his family
he may be able to establish his limo
cence of the serious charge against
him.
Just as we 60 to press we learn that
Mr.. WhittallS horse was found We'd

RABBI LEWIS ADDRESS
TELLS HONOLULU PEOPLE or
MODERN JEW.
When jew is not Jew-Origin ana
History-Differencc Between Gentle
and jew Is in Faith.

Rabbi Levy delivered an address az
the Y. NJ. &. A. hall last evening on tht
subject of The Modern jew The house
was well filed with an intelligent ana
appreciative audience. For little over
an hour the rabbi followed his theme
I'm most interesting and instructive
manner
He started out with the proposition
that the modern Jew was the living
witness of the existence of God. al
though the fool had said in his heart
there is no Cod The fool must be
answered according to his folly. lest he
consider himself wise.
The speaker went on to show that the
word jew came from Judah, the fourth
son of Jacob, and the territory awarded
to him i'm Palestine and known as
Judea. 1t is not a term to be applied
| to the faith, as is commonly done. The
term strictly belonged to the people of
the territory named. a territory in
which the temple was built and the
government was conducted. When Neb-
ucadnezzar and later, Titus carried the
people of Jersualem away into captiv-
itN, he thought they were the JudeanS.
1t is significant fact that all of the
great nations who had conquered the
Jews have been wiped from the face Of
the earth. Babylon, Greece. Egypt.
Rome, Media. Persia and Assyria We're
mentioned.
The Jews have suffered on account of
refusing to accept a faith that did not
and does not appeal to them. They suf-
fered martyrdom during the Medieval
Ages; exile from Russia more recently
and persecution i'm England. France.
Austria and Germany Withal, the Jew
/ lives.
The speaker then referred at length
to the domestic life of the Jew: the love
of child for its parents: devotion to
the faith chastity and purity of the
domestic relations and by statistics
advanced the proposition that crime
among Jews was ten times less than
among other races. He referred to the
charitable instincts of the race. how
they cared for the infirm, the aged and
the poor. Also the indiscrimnate love
of the race for humanity in general.
Several notable instances of important
gifts to charities were pointed out
The speaker showed that the reproach
'as rich as a jew" was no longer true.
He mentioned the wealthy men of to-
day, who are heading the big trusts and
remarked that not one of them was a
Jew. Jews would not lead trusts and
grind the laboring man into almost
slavish subsection" affirmed the speak
er.
In conclusion the rabbi remarked that
the difference between Gentle and Jew
was a matter of faith and that only.

OLDEST COAL NINE.
Dates Back Into the Very Remote
Past.

Mr. Franz Bnettgenbach, mining en-
gineer Aachen, Germany, who publish
ed last year a little book on this sub
ject has been dipping again into certain
old documents, and has reached the
conclusion that the earliest coal mining
operation antedated the period assign
ed in his first book. He now expresses
the opinion that coal was mined much
prior to lib.
1t appears that coal was first found
in the Liege district about 1899 long af-
tire it had been found and worked in
the Worm district, and no doubt now is
entertained that in that district il was
worked before lll3.
In his History of Coal Mining in
Great Britain, Galloway says that it is
probable that before the close of the
reign of William the Lion 021D coal
was attracting some attention on the
south shore of the Firth of Forth, and
that during the reign of this king a
grant of 1.-THE of the Colliery of CARR
den, near Blackness, was made to the
monks of Hollywood Abbey, Edinburgh.
This was 100 years after the mines In
the Worm district were opened and reg
ularly worked. 1t is not likely that coal
was mined in Great Britain before the
thirteenth century, whereas it was min
ed in the Worm district certainly as
early as the beginning of the twelfth
century.

THE ARMY.
Force of Otis Disposal for Fall Cam
paign.


WASHINGTON, July 3.-The War
Department has nearly perfected the
details of the project for the enlistment
of volunteers under the terms of the
act of the last Congress. There is to
be nothing i'm the nature of a call, but
as heretofore stated, the soldiers will
be obtained in the regular methods
through the efforts Of the United
states recruiting offices stationed in
the various large cities. To this end
the department has already sent out
to these officers full instructions for
their guidance, as well as blanks for
enlistments, and everything is now in
shape to begin recruiting at the word
from Washington. 1t was stated by
the Acknowledgement today that the
department COntemplateS raising nine
regiments in all, and instructions to
the recruiting officers are based on this
figure. Each regiment will have "A
strength of 1,326 men, making a total
force of 1884 men, This will almost
be twice the number of men which
General Otis reports will be necessary
to give him the force of 10000 effec-
tiVes, which he requires.
The recruiting for the regular army
has brought that establishment to
within 200 of it's maximum strength
The force that will be at General Otis
disposal when the new troops now in
this country reach him at the beginning
of the fall campaign may be Summar-
lied as follows: Seventeen regiments
of regular infantry, 25,S4O men: three
new volunteer regiments, ABA; four
batteries Third Artillery, 4S9; ten bat
teries of the Sixth 1,230; the Fourth
Cavalry, 1870; an engineer battalion

ORIGIN OF TIP

An English paper gives this eXplana-
ton of the origin of the word tip" In
an old English tavern a receptacle for
small coin was fixed i'm a conspicuous
place, over which appeared in writing:
ITO Insure Promptness." Whatever
was placed i'm the box was divided
among the servants. Other taverns fol-
lowed the example. and soon the words
were abbreviated to T. l. p.

Bulla opposed the motion to go into
executive session. He said if good rea-
sons could be advanced for the adoption
OF the resolution, everybody ought to
hear them, but if on the contrary there
were no reasons, the public should also
be acquainted with that fact.
Boyce said he had no objection to
an open discussion, and was perfectly
willing to withdraw his motion. He was
allowed to withdraw it accordingly.
Thereupon Bulla moved to amend the
resolution by striking out any and all
reference to newspapers, newspaper re-
porters and newspaper editors and
managers (thus chopping out and en-
! tirely relegating to the background the
intention of it's author). The amend
| ments were two in number, the first
striking out the words newspaper re-
porters or representatives" and insert
| ing the words every one," the second
absolutely eliminating all reference to
newspaper editors and managers. and
the question fell upon the adoption of

BOYCE'S REASONS.
Boyce took the floor and delivered a
characteristic speech. He said his rea-
sons for introducing the resolution were
that being interviewed was distasteful
to him: that buttonholing members
was obnoxious; that he was opposed to
| busybodies, and last that interviewers
often sought to divert members from
properly performing their duties.
He said there was among reporters
charming system of ascertaining how
man intended to vote upon a measure
and the publication of such intention
often placed him in an embarrassing
position, particularly if he desired to
change his mind or become convinced
that he ought to change his mind. Such
publications, he said. would tend to
pervert the opinions of the members.
He for one did not propose to be run"
by the press and was opposed to yellow
journals which sought to pervert his
