A conductor on the Canadian Pa
cific at Winnipeg has invented and
secured a patent on device which
will substitute gong for the tor
pedo. This is another invention
which will be a wise precaution
and will be received willingly by
all employees and managers. The
torpedo only served its purpose in
the absence of the new invention.
lnclement weather affected the tor
pedoes and trainmen had too much
faith in the torpedo, which cost
many an accident.

WARNED AGAIN.STkIDNAPPER
THE REV. DIR CLENDENNIN GETS AN
ANONYMOIS LETTER TELLING HIM
TO GUARD HIS CHILDREN.

An anonymous letter received by the Rev. DR.
F. NJ. Clendennin. of West Chester. in The
Bronx, a son-in-law of Horace Greeley, warning
him to guard his children carefully from Kid
napper, has stirred the police of the Thirty
eighth Precinct into unusual activity. and de-
tectves using every effort to trace the
writer of the letter DR.. Clendennin is the rec
tor of the Episcopal Church. of West Chester
which has among its members many New
Workers. who have country places on Long ISL
and Sound. He has two children. Gabriel and
Muriel, eight and three years cid respectively.
The letter received by the clergyman was ap-
parently written by woman 1t bears the
postmark of Station l.. and the date April II
A few years ago an incendiaTy attempted to
burn the church of which DR.. Ciendennin is rec
tor and soon after he received letters from
some person who threatened to destroy the barn
his farm at Chappauqua. Westchester Coun-
ty. which formerly the country place OF
Horace Greeley. Shortly after the letter threat
ening destruction to the barn was received the
coachman discovered that the barn fire
and put out the flames
DR.. Clendennin was asked last night If he con-
nected the attempt tn fire the church and barn
with the threat TO kidnap the children.
Il cannot say that 1 do" he replied, but it
is a significant fact that all of these letters
have been received at times when there have
been agitations and controversies"
He said that he had no particular person in
mind whom he suspected of writing the letters
wanting to kidnap the children.
This letter has probably come from one of
two sources said he Either 1t is from some
one whose mind is wrought up over these con-
troversies or from person who has real knowl
edge Of a plot Neither Mrs. Cendenin nor my
self are inclined to worry much, still have
thought 1t we'll to be guard, and there
fore ] turned the letter over to the police
Police Captain Walsh of the Thirty-eighth
Precinct, is inclined to view the letter seri
cusly. and has offered DR. Clendennin the
vices of a detective to accompany the children
whey they are going any distance from home
DR.. Slenlennn said last night that his eldest
daughter. Gabriel, had been too i'll since he
ceived the letter TO go away from the rectory
and that the younger child, Muriel, never went
out unless accompanied by u nurse.

PlN-ISLiNINM.

Vienna correspondence of The London Post.
The Constantinople correspondent of the ''Neues
Wiener Taghlatt" contributes to his paper eX-
tremely alarmist article the dangers of the
pan-lsamitic agitation.
He asserts that there exists a secret Pan-Isam-
itic League. the operations of which extend into
every country inhabited by Moslems. This league,
therefore, possesses power in India and Afghan
isan, throughout Asia Minor and Persia in all the
northern countries of Africa. and in Europe from
the Caucasian provinces of Russia to the Bosnian
possessions of the Austrian Empire
The leaders Of the league Mosem priests and

and direct a remarkably perfect organization The
orthodox faith Of Mahomet and TO defend the true
religion from all its enemies.
* in this respect. continues the writer that
The Pan-Isamitic agitation differs from what would
-rlents-for instance, the Pan-Slavic and the Pan
German movements. These movements politi-
cal end racial in character. whereas Pan -Islamsm
IS essentially religious The power and influence
which this league has gained in the Moslem world
due largely TO this fact
For Europe the Importance Of the Pan-Islamitic
agitation lies in the fact that the Mosems only
quiet and peaceful SO long as they left TO live
their lives in their own way.
When Western enterprise and the policy Of COM
mercial expansion. combined with the political am
bitions Of the powers extend their spheres of
influence. become menace TO Mahometanism. then
a word of command from this Pan-Isamitic organ
ization viii mobilize many millions Of fanatcal
Estimating the number of Mosems in the world
at over two hundred millions. the writer supposes
that thirty million warriors of desperate bravery
could be pifted by the leaders OF the Panlslamitc
movement against the disunited armies of Europe
This. he considers. is greater danger than the
petition Russian aggression anything else
that threatens the maintenance OF peace.
