WALKS FROM GUARDHOUSE UNCHAL-
LENGED. AND IS THOUGHT TO
HAVE GONE TO SEA

Whitestone, Long Island, Dec 2I-Private
William Monfort, of the S1th Company. Coast
Artillery, escaped from the guardhouse at Fort
Totten, Wi1lets Point, at midnight last night
and has not been since by the authorities
at the fort. Monfort put on the overcoat and fur
cap OF another soldier, picked the lock of the
guardhouse and walked out. He passed the
sentry on guard without any trouble and went
in the direction of the pier, which Is about six
hundred yards from the fort. There are always
several boats at the pier, and one of them was
missing to-day. 1t is believed that Monfort took
the missing boat, rowed out to the channel and
boarded a passing schooner.
1t is said that the sentry who allowed Mon
fort to get away told Major Morey, who is in
command at the fort. that he had no suspicion
that Monfort was prisoner and that he thought
he was only going out for drink to a saloon
near the fort. The sentry is alleged to have told
the commander that the men had been in the
habbit of slipping out for drinks since the
abolishment of the canteen, and that he enter
tanned no suspicion that the man he saw leav-
ing the fort intended to do anything more than
to get drink and then return. The sentry has
been placed under arrest. and it is understood
that Major Morey will at once begin a strict in
vestigation into the way matters have been
going on at the fort.

BISHOP POINTS A MORAL.
In Warning His Hearers Against the Evil
of Gambling in Stocks.

Boston. May 1O.-"One has only to
listen to the shouts in the stock mar
ket during the past few weeks" said
Bishop Lawrence, in his annual adj
dress to the Massachusetts diocesan
convention of the Protestant Episcopal
church, Ito he impressed with the dan
ger in which our young men and wo-
men. our boys and girls stand from
the temptation to gamble, to get some
thing for nothing. to try to make mon
ey fast. TO hazard what is of value
simply for the pleasure of the hazard.
l am not drawing fine distinctions,
much less am l making the stock mar
ket the scapegoat for an increasing
popular danger and vice.
Vicious gambling, which catches
the popular eye. is but the symptom
of spirit pervading the community.

lily for the legitimate reward of labor,
an unrest at the moderate and fair re-
turns of capital, Il making haste to get
rich, n keen love of the sport of over

Two generations ago playing cards

ciated with gambling. Then the cards
were brought forth from their hiding
