FRIVoLITIEs OF THE CHURCH.
A Minister Not Opposed to the The
atre or Dancing,

NEW BRUNSWICK, n. j., March G.
Rev. A. A. Murphy, pastor of the Second
Presbyterian Church, on Sunday preached
a sermon upon "Frivolities of the
Church. in which he said:
81 am not opposed to amusements, but
am in favor of spiritualizing our
churches. When we want amusement let
us not be afraid to go where it is to be
found, pure and simple. When you want
to see a play, go to the theatre, but do
not turn to some sickly imitation of the
dramatic art by amateur actors, who do it
in the name of religion. If young people
will dance, it is their own business, and
good exercise in the bargain. but keep it
out of the church parlors, where it is bad
form, to say the least. So, too, if you will,
play cards at home. in the bosom of your
family, surrounded by your boys and girls.
Should they play by stealth, the secrecy
would be worse than the game. There is
little enough religion left in the world
without diluting that which remains with
the leavings from the worlds champagne
coolers"

A STRANGE BANK ROBBERY.
The Currency Mysteriously Disap-
pears From the Vault.


OTTUMWA. Iowa, March 6.--When Bar
ney Weir, cashier of the Farmers Savings
Bank. at Pennington, a small town near
here, opened the door to the vault to that
institution on Monday morning he discov-
cred that robbers had secured entrance to
the vault during Sunday and made off with
a large sum of money. The officials we're
summoned and an examination revealed
the fact that all the currency had been
carried off. The robbery is the most SEN
sational and mysterious in the history of
the town.
Neither the lock on the door to the bank
or the time lock on the vault had been
tampered with. Weir left the bank at
$3.50 o'clock Saturday to 60 to Eldon for
Sunday and left President S. ID. Lightfoot
and +. ID. Carr, director in charge A
shipment of currency had been made that
day but there still remained large sum
The officials closed the bank an hour later
setting the time lock for thirty-six hours
or until five O'Clock Monday morning. When
they left the bank the money was intact.
No suspicion rests on the cashier
Intense excitement was created by the
news of the robbery and the bank was
soon thronged by anxious depositors. The
official are reticent about the sum taken.
and deny that it was 1900 as currently
reported. The officials claim the bank will
not be seriously crippled by the robbery,
as q large amount of gold and silver was
left untouched, the robbers taking MOTH
ing but currency.
