Again, the ferocity of the pun | ishments for small crimes, an ana chronism in an age of growing humani- ty, deterred injured persons from pros
 ecuting and juries from convicting
 criminals. It is true that throughout
 the century felons were hanged by scores and transported by hundreds; but still the convictions represented so small a percentage of the crimes com mitted that the immunity of the habit
 ual criminal became reproach to the legislature and a byword in the land.
 But the dawn of the nineteenth cen- tury usfered in new era in the histo
 ry of the felon, and from this time forth everything seems to have gone against him. Tn 1908 Sir Samuel Romi- ly got bill through Parliament abol- ishing capital punishment for small thefts, with the result that there was great and sudden increase In the num- Der of prosecutions and convictions. As time went on the machinery of the penal laws was simplifed, a public prescott or was appointed, the new po- lice was established new-fangled bolts and alarms were invented, gas lamps rendered the streets comparatively safe by night railways ruined the profession of the highway robber, the telegraph off ,i,,o1 iv, f,,n Hie,1, Ia the extradition laws abolished the sanctuary once provided by foreign country. Of truth, with the passing of the eighteenth century, the palmy days of felony in England were at an end forever.-George Paston in Long mans Magazine.

 MT. Perkins had just received let ter from man now employed in one of the government navy yards, who wanted promotion, and asked the senator's aid. He wrote that he had a wife and several children whom he was trying to support creditably, but their needs grew along with the chil- dren, and he wanted more means to educate them. He said that he stood we'll in the community etc. Then he went on further:

EVENING PICTURE SERVICE.

Rev. Dr. Leete Gives stereoptioon Lecture at Dwight Place Church. Unfortunately the weather last night kept away from Dwight Place church a great many that had anticipated at- tending to hear the Rev. W. w. Leete, pastor of the church, lecture. Those that braved the clements however were we'll pleased they attended for the ser vice was most instructive as we'll as in- teresting. It was a special service pre- pared by the pastor and was called an evening picture. It was a stereopticon lecture by the pastor on Israel in exile and after the return from captivity. The views were most elaborate and there were about forty of them, illus trating the various individual points of the lecture.
 The slides pictured the customs of the far east and illustrated the lessons of the last quarter in the Bible school. In this respect the lecture was very inter esting to those both old and young who have studied the lessons the last quar- ter.
 Tomorrow night at this church there will be a mid week service for all the people, the subject of the evenings dis course being "New Years Eve Medita- tions," in which the pastor will sum- marize the work of the year. On Fri day night there will be reception to those who have joined the church dur ing the present pastorate either by pro- fession of faith or by letter. The af- fair will be New Years party and there will be present beside the pastor, the deaconesses and members of the prudential committee. This will be held in the chapel.

KNIGHTS OF ST. PATRICK.
Annual Ball at the Hyperion on thu
 Evening of February 10.

Annual Ball at the Hyperion on thu
 Evening of February 10.
 The night of February 10th has been selected by the committee as the one for the Knights of St. Patrick ball for this year and it is as usual to be helc in the Hyperion theater. This date, as will be noticed, is just previous to tho Lenten season. The committee promise that the affair of this year will surpass in every particular all past attempts in this line and the arrangements which they are making bid fair to prove this assertion. Doubtless it will be a bril- liant event and one long to be remem- bered. It is well known that the Knights never do things by halves and they will have every detail properly ar ranged so that those favored with in- vitations may anticipate a pleasant evening and not be disappointed. The committee in charge this year is as fol- lows: James B. Martin, chairman; James J. Kennedy, secretary; Thomas K. Dunn, Thomas I. Kinney, Frank A.. Maloney, Thomas F. Fitzsimmons, John J. Carroll, Thomas J. Fleming, John P. Kilfeather, Dr. John F. Sulli- van, Thomas J. Flanagan, John J. McNamara, James Gibbons, John M Burke and A. F. Smith.
 The customary New Years reception to the members and their friends will be given at the club house, corner of Temple and Crown streets, from to il p. m., Wednesday. A lunch will be served to callers and in the evening an entertainment will be given.

 Der on the earths surface anything from two to four hundred million, &C.,
 cording to the oral rotundity of the speaker. Notwithstanding his heredty and surroundings, however Ii Hung Chang throughout his career evinced a consistent appreciation of foreign man. ners and ideas. Not alone in the im- portation and construction of machine ry and the application of physical sci ence, and in matte s generally external to himself, was his belief in things for eign demonstrated, but where his own person was concerned his faith was no less robust. The public medical ser vices which he inaugurated were in fact but an expansion of the treatment which he had embraced for himself and his family, or as many of them as were disposed to follow his lead. As during the last scenes in Peking, so in the only dangerous illness he had previously gone through, just ten years ago, his half enlightened family made strenu ous efforts to dissuade him from em- ploying foreign doctor. But though prostrated and almost in the article of death, his confidence in foreign medi- cine remained unshaken. "He will die if he continues the foreign treatment" was the lamentations daily and hourly howled at the bedside of the patient and even the day of his death was fixed for the winter salstice, then only few days distant, a day of omen for the sick in China, as the ebbing of the tide is among our coast population. AS Dr. Frazer, a genial Ulsterman, entered, the sick mau looked up and asked the one question, Shall I die on the 22d?" A cheery "No-o-o." reassured the pa tient, who began at once to take nour- ishment, and in a few days was tram sacting public business-from his bed.- Alexander Michie in Blackwoods Mag azine

HIS ERRAND BOY.
A Shopkeeper's Experience With a Lad
 Whom He Tried to Tame

A Shopkeeper's Experience With a Lad 1 Whom He Tried to Tame. "The trouble between the small shop keeper and his customers" said a Co., lumbus haberdasher, lis due in large measure to the errand boy. I know I was boy once. and I don't expect a boy who works for $3 a week to take the same interest in my business that l do. But my customers are not so charitable. In fact they do not even consider the boy. They kick to me.
 Take that boy of mine for a sample. After bunch of experience with oth- CTS l hired this one and tried to tame him by taking an interest in him. His mother is poor woman. One evening when it was raining I sent him home in cab, He had told me it was his mothers birthday, and I gave him a dollar, and a small package of fruit for his mother.
 Two hours later the cabby came back and said the boy had stopped on the way and invested in cigarettes, and had invited him in to take a drink. Then the boy tried to bribe the cabby to drive him to theater, and when the cabby refused the boy cursed him and banged his feet against the doors of the cab.
 At first I thought of discharging the boy. But what was the use? I asked myself, The next boy would do some- thing worse. I gave the boy d lecture, not a severe one, but one which I thought would make him sorry. He was pretty fair specimen of juvenile reformer for a. week. Soon after I sent him to my house.
 While he was on his way I called up my wife and told her to give him lunch. She did so. He ate like a hired man. Then he put up a pitiful story about his mothers illness My wife gave him half dollar to take to his mother. As he passed out of the house he met my son, who is several years younger than himself, and persuaded him to go along. My own boy went home sick and confessed that he had

THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY EEL


 THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY EEL ON.
 If the annals Of crime should ever come to be compiled by an historian with a catholic mind and an eye to the picturesque the eighteenth century would probably be described as the golden age of felony, and the London of the same period as the happy hunting ground of the habitual criminal. With no telegraphs, no railways, no gas lamps, no police Gin the modern under standing of the word), no scientific means of Identification, no laws of ex- tradition, and no efficient communica- tion between the authorities of ward, borough or district, it seems miracle that felon should ever have been ap- prehended, except through his own recklessness or the treachery of one of his associates. His position might be compared to hat of the cunning old fox who, inhabiting a country riddled with earths, rather enjoys the excitement of the chase, well knowing that as soon as it becomes too hot for pleasure he can dive down a friendly drain and lie per- du till the danger is over.
 In the case of the willy criminal, con- viction by no means necessarily fol- lows capture. The anomalous condi- ton and cumbrous machinery of the penal laws gave a clever Old Bailey lawyer every opportunity to quibble his client out of a scrape; false witnesses could be bought cheap at Westminster Hall, where they daily walked up and down with straWs in their shoes to de-
