REV. DR.. vOSE'S PLEA.
ExhoTts Members TO Remain Faithful
TO the Old Church.
The Benetlcent The Mother Of All CongTe-
gatlunaI Churches In the City.

During the sermon, at the Bcnefi-
cent Congregational church yesterday
morning. Rev. DIR. Vose made plea TO
the members of his congregation to re-
main faithful to the old church, and
not desert 1t for new parishes. He re-
ferred to the growing tendency Of
churches to remove from the business
portions Of the city to the residential
sections. and said that while this was
more prevalent in the larger cities. it
was not unknown in Providence.
DR.. Vose said that the Beneficent
church. the mother of all the Congre-
gational churches of the city. was sit
uated in just about the right place in
Providence. The members of the con-
gregation now come from all parts OF
the city, having moved their homes
from the vicinity of the church
He maintained therefore. that the
church ought very properly to be CEN
trally located and that IL was a good
thing for the business community to
have churches in its midst.

BURGLARY CHARGED.
Charles McG'nn Arrested at Centre.
dale by Officer Barnes.
Claimed He Made a Mistake When He
Attempted 10 Enter Ellis House.

Ephralm Ellis of Centredale fired
several shots at supposed burglar
crawling through his window yesterday
morning. Though the intruder was
grazed. as marks OF blood show, no
serious harm was done by the bullets,
and he made his escape, TO be later
captured and turned over to the police.
His name is Charles McGinn, and he
is a well known character in the neigh
borhood.
McGinn when he was arrested on the
Graniteville road, by officer Barnes,a
peared to be somewhat under the in
fiuence of liquor, but the Ellses were
not disposed to regard this as a suffi-
cient excuse for the alleged attempt to
enter their house, and feeling was
strengthened because this was the Sec
ond attempt within a short time. the
other attempt having been defeated by
O large st. Bernard dog which drove
the marauder away after the putty had
been removed from the glass of an
other window in the same room where
the glass was broken this time.
McGinn admitted that he had tried
to enter the house, claiming that he
had mistaken II for the house of a
friend. A wound on the mans forehead
was supposed TO have been caused by
one of the pistol bullets but Vt was not
a serious. matter and might possibly
have been done by the broken window
glass while the man was getting in or
out of the window. McGinn is known
about Centredale and is said to be con-
sidered harmless person.

ture ON the Life OF Cardinal New

Before he was years old he knew
French. German. Latin and Greek. AT

He was a prodigy. Every book he read
was transmitted In the alembic OF his
brain. God equipped him with Won
derful brain He got 10 oxford when
he was IA. although 1t is said he looked
but 10.
How little didOxford know that with
in 10 years Newman would shake those
dry bones and infuse a new life there.
Later he became clergyman ana
started the Oxford movement. When
he had become the intellectual leader
or England. at As years OF age. he
passed into the desp.sed Nazareth or
Roman Catholicism. Then for 80 years
he led his quiet life occasionally writ
ing book. This old man had found
peace. Instead of listening one Sunday
TO minister who tel! one thing. and
next Sunday the contrary. he had found
the Eever-chapging truth, and in II
peace.
AT his death all England followed to
his grave, for he was loved and hon.
ored."

To say that the gymnasium exhibit

speaking altogether too mildly. or 70 say
that 1t eclipsed all previous exhibitions
is To DO it poor credit Every part OF
the program was carried out with pre-.
cision, and every participant acquitted
himself IN such way as 10 deserve
special mention Every performance
proved TO the audience that IL was the
result Of much practice and persistent
effort, and had been accomplished I'M
der the direction Of proficient instruc-
tor. The gymnasium team was com
posed Of seventeen men. The proticl-
ency of work showed up in every event
bat especially in the tumbling and the
pyramids. If so much has already been
accomplished in athletics, what can we
hope for in Alma in the future, with
Prof Fauver as director. Music was
