HIS DOG CAME HOME TO DIE.
Brought Along the Dynamite and the
House Was Blown Up,

A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from Drifton, Pa, says: ceo-ge Nechou of
Scale Siding owned a dog which suffered
with mango, and in order to dispose of the
animal Nechou took it to the woods and
attached two sticks Of dynamite and a
long fuse to its neck, lighted the fuse and
retired to a place Of safety, forgetting TO
tie the dog.
The animal ran after his master to his
home. Nechou saw the animal coming
and. knowing an explosion was likely 20
occur at any moment, quickened his pace
with the dog close at his heels. He was
successful in reaching the house in safety
and closed the door The dog badly
frightened by the sizzling of the fuse, took
refuge under the house. Immediately a
terrific explosion occurred and the building
with its contents and dog were blown to
atoms. Members of the family who were
in the house were injured.

WORK OF A DIAMOND THIEF.
Undetected, He Makes Away With a
Tray of Jewels.

The New York Tribune of today says:
In the height of the shopping period yes
terday afternoon some extraordinarily clever
young man succeeded in purloining tray
filled with diamond rings from the store
of A. A. Webster, Jeweler of many years
standing, at No. 40 Fulton street. Brook
lyn. The theft was not discovered until
five minutes after the thief had made
good his escape with the diamonds, which
were valued at $3.50. All that the police
had to work on in their hunt for the gems
is meager description of a man who was
seen leaning against the counter and look
ing at the diamonds in the show case
The mysterious disappearance of the
jewels took place about 3 o'clock. Mr.
Webster, proprietor of the store, saw
young man standing by the diamond case.
When Mr.. Webster approached and asked
what he wanted the stranger replied that
he was being waited upon in the rear of
the store.
Just then Mr.. Webster saw an old Gus
toner up at the front of the store and
passed on to attend to her. Then Mrs.
Dewar, saleswoman, having noticed the
stranger, also asked If he did not wish
some one to wait on him. He declared that
MIR. Webster was showing him what he
desired. Upon receiving this answer Miss
Dewar went back to complete some task
in the rear of the store.
Five minutes later Mr.. Webster returned
to the diamond counter and found that
the stranger was gone, also a tray con-
tanning forty-two diamond rings, the
stones varying in size from one-half carat
to a carat and half. He was stunned
for a moment at the extraordinary disap-
pearance, but soon collected himself and
rushed to police headquarters, two blocks
away. In another five minutes five de-
tectives were on the case. They were
stin working last night, but had made no
progress.
The showcase from which the diamonds
were taken was one of the old-fashioned
kind, the back of which drops down. 1t
was inconceivable, therefore. that the thief
could have reached over the case and ab-
stracted the tray, as the case was found
closed. The only possible way in which
the tray could have been taken was by
stepping behind the counter for moment.
How this could have occurred without be-
ing noticed Is what is puzzling Mr. Web
ster. In order to get out of the store the
thief must have passed right by him with
out being seen. and the tray of diamonds
was concealed so cleverly that it did not
attract the attention of persons going in
and out of the store.
The young stranger who is suspected as
being the thief is described as being about
twenty-six years old, five feet ten inches
In height, smooth shayen, black hair, me
dunn build and wearing dark clothing.

Dr. F. O.

WHERE SHALL THE COURSE CUT
 TING STOP?

The iconoclastic fever for tearing down the old-time college course to make room for the new post graduate schools has reached an acute stage. The college presidents are trying to outbid each other with offers of quick ly acquired bachelor Of arts degrees. To Harvard's challenge of degree in three years of struggle between the col lege authorities, President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia replies with the proposal of a degree in two years. There is no reason why some wide awake western president should not cut under with an eighteen-month or one-year degree. and it is conceivable that before the contest is over colleges will be offering A. E. degrees as a prize for anyone who chooses to apply for admission. Tn France they give the bachelors degree to graduates of preparatory schools. Why not do so here? Of what practical use is col lege life, anyway?
 It is not pleasent to watch the scramble for numerical superiority and the lowing to the god hustle among the scholars who are made the custodi- ans of our higher education. They are sacrificing to foreign idols end to a spirit of short-sighted utilitarianism a distinctly American institution whose value has been proved.

RECEPTION TO REV. BAGBY
Welcome Given by Members and
 Friends of the Christian Church.

It was a large and select gathering that filled the Fifth Avenue Christian church on Tuesday night to extend a welcome to the Rev. and Mrs. W. H. Bagby, the newly installed pastor of the church. and his charming wife. Representatives from every church in the city were present, and many strangers were there also. The young and the old, all mingled in the happy throng and "all went merry as a mar riage bell" After a season of social chat. the exercises of the evening were introduced by Miss Hauxhust in a live ly and skillfully executed piano solo.
 This was followed by an address of welcome on behalf of the church by Samuel A. Dysart, chairman of the official board of the church. Mr. Dy- sert was in his happiest vein, and de- lighted all with his timely wit and inn pressive eloquence. He even became poetical and surprised his most inti- matet friends. who had never suspect ed him of familiarity with the muses.
 The Republican reporter was so inn pressed by the effort that it was indeli- bly engraved on the tablets of his memory, and he reprCduces such DOT tions as have not escaped him. It was in speaking of the curiosity that had been torturing the congrega ton while they waited for the new minister, that he sang:
 What's the cut of his clothes, And the curve of his nose?
 Is the sheen e. his eye
 As blue as the sky?

The largest crowd as- sembled at Salt Lake City that had been so assembled since the dedication of the Temple in 1899 On his return trip he stopped off in Pasadena county to investigate the pumping plant sJs- tenn there and comes back enthusiastic over the feasibility of the system here. He saw little 16-horse-power. engines pumping water 500 feet for irrigation purposes. and thinks although the cost of gasolene Is some more here than there. yet as we would not have to lift the water only a comparatively short distance here we could make it pay big here.

 Letters from the Revs E. A. PeniclS C., the Episcopal church, w. A. Row land O: the M. E., south, and Lawrence Reynolds of the Mexican mission of the M F. church, south, were read, ex- pressing regret at their inability to be present on account of absence from the city.
 Mrs. Bridewell, president of the La dies aid society. gave a cordial well come in behalf of that most important adjunct of the church.
 The Rev. MT. Bagby responded in a brief address in which the humorous and the serious were perfectedly blend ed. He began by replying to MT. Dy sart's remarks about his hair. and ex- plained that before they were married Mrs. Bagby craved a lcck of his hair, and after they were wed, she took it all. His remarks were well-timed. and served to raise him in the esteem of the audience.
 During the evening Mrs. DeMund sang a beautiful ballad and Professor Todd also rendered a tenor solo. Mrs. Bagby was prevailed on to give plano selection which was so thoroughly ap- preciated that she was compelled to re- spond to an encore. At the conclusion of the exercises Mir. and Mrs. Bagby were presented to those present by the reception committee, after which cake and coffee were served by the ladies
