was chasing cheap government job

His Reason.

The tutor in one of the smaller
schools near Chsupcey Depew's
native town of Peekskill had drilled
a number of his brightest scholars
in the history of contemporary
politics, and to test both their faith
and their knowledge he called upon
three of them one day and demanded
declaration of personal political
principles: "You are a Republican,
Tom, are you not?' "Yes, sir" "And
Bill, you are a Prohibitionist, l
believes" "Yes, SIR" "And Jim,
you are Democrat?" "Yes, sir"
swell, now, the one of you that can
give me the best reason why he be-
longs to his party. can have this

way to school this morning" II am
a Republican," said the first boy
"because the Republican party saved
the country in the war and abolished
slavery" Sand Bill, why are you a
Prohibitionist?" II am a Prohibit
tionist," ratified off the youth, "be-
cause rum is the country's greatest
enemy and the cause of our over
crowded prisons and poor-houses."
Excellent reasons, Bill, remarked
the tutor, encouragingly; "now, why
are you a Democrat, Jim?" SWELL,

SHERIDAN TO THE RESCUE.
Roundsman Gallantly Stopped Rum
away and So Saved Lives.

Roundsman Sheridan of the Communi-
paw avenue station stopped runaway
at the Junction, yesterday afternoon,
when the streets were well filled with peo-
pie about to transfer from the various
trolley lines that stop at that point, and
undoubtedly saved several people from be-
ing seriously injured. Some women
screamed and men were rushed for the
sidewalks to escape the galloping horse,
which was dragging light carriage.
The animal was caught by the rounds
man as it was about to dash through a
crowd of people boarding a Bayonne car.
Sheridan was dragged several feet before
he brought the horse to standstiA.
The rig was the property of /. M.
Shackter of No. 80 Newark avenue. The
horse took fright at Randolph avenue
and Union street, and dashed through
Randolph avenue to the Junction. The
beast then turned up Grand street, where
the roundsman gave chase and caught it
before it had gone half a block. The rig
was not damaged.

successor to Dean T.. D. Senez of st.

will receive the honrs.

Bishop and Father Carroll are now
speeding toward America, having sailed

LAWYER PLAYED DETECTIVE
Caught a Man on a Ferryboat
and Had Him Locked Up.

LAWYER Theodore B. Ryerson yesterday
arrested a man who gave his name as
Robert Wilson, a waiter, forty years old,
of No. $50 West Fortieth street, New York
CITY. The man was acting suspiciously.
When the case was heard before Police
Justice Hoos in the First Criminal Court
this morning the evidence led the police
to believe that they had accidentiy caught
a professional pickpocket.
Mr. Ryerson said that he crossed the
Pennsylvania Railroad ferry on the boat
Cincinnati yesterday afternoon. He went
into the mems cabin and just before him
he saw Wilson. The latter took seat
next to a drunken man and carefully
spread a newspaper out before him. The
paper was SO arranged that it covered
part of the drunken mans body Wilson
looked about with quick glance that
aroused Mr.. Ryersen's suspicious, and ne
decided to watch the suspicious character.
Mr.. Ryerson said he saw Wilson'S hand
slowly move toward his neighbor and the
fingers go deep into the drunken mans
vest uocket The man must have felt
the hand for he Immediately sat up
straight. Then, Mr.. Ryerson said, Will
SON pushed his hand into the trousers
nocket. At this point Mr.. Ryerson called
a deck hand, Wilson took fright and left
the cabin.
The drunken man awoke and walked in
an opposite direction. When the deck
hand arrived neither Wilson nor his sup
posed victim could be found.
Mr.. Ryerson thought that Wilson had
secreted himself about the boat and would
probably try to operate on the return
trip. Shortly after the boat left New
York Mr.. Ryerson walked into the ladies'
cabin. There he saw Wilson seated next
to a woman who had pocketbook on
her lap. Wilson had his newspaper care
fully spread out again and Mr.. Ryerson
took him into custody.
The drunken man could not be found
and as no attempt was made before Will
sons arrest to take the woman's pocket
book there could be no charge OF theft
lodged against the prisoner. He was held,
however, as disorderly person and the
police authorities are investigating his
career.

Mr.. PYLE'S
vESTRY.
Five of the Nine Men Or
ganized the Board
Last Night.
RECTOR's POOR MEMORY
Had a Story to Tell Before the
Meeting But Forgot Tt After
Confession Again.
RECTOR's POOR MEMORY

Five of the nine members of the recent
ly elected vestry of Grace Protestant
Episcopal Church, Ocean and Pearsall
avenues, met at Rector Pyles home last
night and organized for the ensuing year.
The proceedings were shrouded in mys-
terry, but it was learned that Mr.. M. N.
Henry was elected vestry clerk and Mr..
Samuel Ross, the junior warden, treas
urer. The albsentees were Messrs. Jacob
Detwiller, the senior warden; H. A.
Lilliendahl, E. A. Bush and F. M. Battle
may. Those present besides Messrs. Ross
and Henry were:-F. Hitler, A. e. Glib
bons and r. Brewer.
Senior Warden Samuel Ross is the
authority for the statement that the
vestry organized. When asked if Rector
Pyle had resigned he replied, mo" He
refused to give further information rela-
tive to the proceedings. The other mem
bers also declined to discuss the affairs
of the church.
A reporter of the News saw Rector
Pyle at his home in the evening and was
informed by him that the vestry was in
session. 81 am too busy to talk" he said,
''but if you will call at ten o'clock I will
be pleased to see you"
The reporter waited for the meeting to
break up. He saw the five vestrymen
ushered out by Mr.. Pyle. They had
hardly reached the sidewalk when the
door was closed and bolted and the hall
bell several times, but Mr.. Pyle had evil
IDENTIFY changed his mind and did not re-
spond An hour later another visit was
made to the house. The reporter was
this time informed by an elderly lady
that Mr.. Pyle had retired for the night.
The fact of there being only five out of
nine members present is significant.
While the absentees refuse to talk it was
learned last evening on good authority
that they would possibly refuse to. serve
on the new vestry. Five vestry members,
however constitute quorum and as the
matter now stands, Rector Pyle still
holds the winning hand.
While Mr.. Ross, last night, positively
stated that Mr.. Pyle had not resigned, it
is probable in view of the hostility of the
majority of the congregation to his high
church Tenderness, that he will deem it
wiser to accept the call from another
church to which he referred Sunday. A
former. official of the church told a
News reporter that Rector Pyle had
told a young man named Alfred Jellet
that unless he attended confession, Mr.
Pyle would not administer communion to
him on Easter Sunday. Jellet confessed to
Father Pyle and later received com
munion. This member also said that Mr..
Pyle's usefulness to Grace Church was
at an end and that in the interests OF
harmony he should resign.
'.The majority of the congregation, he
said, ''do not want the high church
ritual and any attempt upon them is
bound to meet with opposition. Their
laxity in providing funds for the main
tainence of the church should be gentle
intimation to him to leave"
