examination it was discovered that
screw worms were working 10 his

all taken out, but it is now thought

believe the prisoner was really Riley,

of the big Four to Pittsburg and
back came the r0ply: This is Riley

Warden Cassidy refused to believe
that Riley was at large and that he had
been made the victim of a feat OF such
a nature until Detective Harmon went
out to the penitentiary and showed
him the photographs of Sullivan and
Riley from the rogues' gallery, and
then Cassidy had to admit he had been

Sullivan owned up that Riley had

had deceived him (Sullivan) also.

the matter. Sullivan was brought in
from the eastern penitentiary on a
writ Of habeas corpus and committed
to prison to answer the charge of con
spiracy with Riley to personate each
other on entering the ~penitentiary, so
that each might serve the others sem

From the Victoria Times: If over
the tug Lorne picks up another dere-
lict, and there happens to be a black
cat on the abandoned vessel, the
chances are the feline will be allowed
to remain, for the cat taken from the
wreck of the Jane A. F~alkenburg
seems to have been a hoodoo of the
most pronounced type. Storms fol-
lowed the tug all the while the cat
was on board, and many other things
have transpired on the tug that were
certainly not to the increased benefit
of those on the vessel. That was be-
cause Of the hoodoo brought from the
wrecked barkentine, said some, and
when Capt. Locke shipped the feline
to her little mistress at San Francisco
by the Walla Walla on her last trip
down from here it was thought that
all the trouble was ended; but no
two of the officers of the tug are now
no longer connected with the vessel,
and other things happened. The
steamer carrying the cat to San Fran
trance to the Golden Gate, and had
to be towed into port. AS will be re-
membered, the cat vas taken from the
wreck by the Walla Walla when that
vessel rescued the shipWrecked men,
but jumped into the sea and swan
back to the wreck, and remained on
board until the tug found the derelict.

Prsshrterian. In Manila.

The First Presbyterian church OF
Manila has been organized. The pas
tor is the Rev. James B. Rodgers. No
church building has yet been erected,
but instructions have been sent to pur-
chase property. Meetings are held in
the Central Young Mems Christian as
ISOLATION tent, and the church is large
ly maintained by house to house visi-
tation. That something is being &C
complished is proven by the fact that
nine Filipinos have been baptized and
received into membership as Presby-
terians. There is a start, and that
among natives. Presbyterians are
watching the question of and owner
ship in Manila, and are gratifed not a
little by the telegraphed statements
made by Bishop Potter of New York,
who is now at Manila. concerning friar
ownership. They now consider the
bishop. who has been a most pro-
nounced anti-imperialist, n Of their

years ago made a successful visit to
Berlin and Vienna, returning i'll a few
months laden with the spOils OF their
thievery, which they proceeded to get
rid Of as fast as possible in New York's
Tenderloin. After several minor eX-
petitions, conducted for the most part
separately, the quartet descended on
Philadelphia for the holiday season OF
1897. There the police rounded them
up on Jan. Is, 1898.
They were charged with conspiracy
to steal goods from various retail
stores. One Of them was provided with
an ingenious c~ontrivance, shaped like
a walking-stick, and really provided
with a spring clutch by which articles
could be easily lifted from behind
counters and pocketed.
Theodore Kempf, a jeweler, ident1-
fled Riley as a man who stole a tray
of twenty-three diamond rings, valued
at 81, $500, from his store on Feb. IL,
1896. When the quartet was placed on
trial, Devlin, Hoyt and Sullivan plead
ed guilty to the charge of conspiracy
to steal and Riley to the charge of lar
ceny of the rings. Judge BETTER, on
July Z, 1898, sentenced Riley to two
years and Hoyt, Sullivan and Devlin
to fifteen months each in the eastern
penitentiary.
No sooner was the dangerous band in
custody thar demands came from vari-
Gus cities for Riley. The Newark and
Boston police claimed him for the
crimes committed there. Riley saw be-
fore him the prospect of a long and
cheeTless confinement either in the
Massachusetts or New Jersey state
prisons. On the way out in the van to
the penitentiary he preached the sub
ject of a substitution trick to Sullivan.
The band had decided hat when
their time was up they would all go
over to the Paris exposition.
Jimmy" said Riley, lit will be dead
easy for you to take my place when we
get out to Cherry Hill. You must an
swe to my name and | to yours, and
when the fifteen months are up we
can go out and work the country.
You will stay there, and when the two
year stretch is run through fly cops
from Boston and Newark will come
there and when they see you they will
say: Why, this isn't Riley, n we
don't want him. See? And they'll
turn you loose and you can make
tracks to join us. See?"
Sullivan thought he saw" But
Riley forgot to tell him thing, and
that was that the laws of Pennsyl-
