SLICK WOMAN THIEF
STEALS DIAMOND RING

Possibly one of the slickest "iim-
Hammers" who ever operated in this
city is a woman. who gave her name
as a Mrs. Edwards to Charles Banks,
the ieweler, whom she has "dupedn
out Of a diamond ring valued at $50.
On last Friday afternoon the said
Mrs. Edwards" walked into Mr..
Banks store and asked the young
woman attendant to show her some
small diamind rings. From the win
dow the clerk took a tray of small
rings and submitted them to the
strangers inspection.
The woman being we'll dressed,
seemingly well-educated and good
tall1er. drove all fears of robbery from
the clerks mind. The stranger said
the ring was for her little girl, and as
she was so careless, a $40 one would
be good enough. She asked to have il
laid aside. as she had not that much
money with her. but would leave a
deposit of 81 to bind the bargain.
While the clerk reached for a ring
measure. the woman deftly lifted the
$3.50 ring and substituted a cheap
plated ring in its stead So quickly
was the transaction the clerk entirely
failed to notice it. but on the following
day Mr. Banks noticed the ring anC
pronounced it worthless.
The police departments Of New York
Baltimore and Philadelphia are on the
lookout for a 'sTilly Kelly" who ha:
committed numerous thefts in thu
above cities. but when shown a pho
tograph of Miss Kelley" the clerk de.
MED ever seeing the woman, and il
positive that it is not a picture of tn
woman who stole the ring from her.

rnr cnuRCH UNIVERSAL

At the Church Club dinner last
night there were sentiments expressed
by earnest and Jealous men which may
be taken as indicative of modern re-
neious thought among persons OF
breadth and wide experience. These
sentiments were voiced by both laity
and clergy, and give ground for the
belief that "the church universal is
not a mere idle dream. One clerical
sneaker declared that God never made
two human beings alike, and, there
fore. He did not intend that any two
men should worship in the same exact
manner The contrary view has been
expressed full often, and is responsible
for much of the bigotry and intoler-
ance in church work. But 1t strikes
the average layman that human the
ology represents only mans conception
OF the will Of the Deity, and like other
human conceptions, there is a possibil-
ity OF error.
Experience has shown that the great
missionaries grow TO insist so much
on essentials that after a time they
come TO regard the forms OF worship
and details of doctrine as non-essen-
tials, being swallowed up in something
vastly more important.
Another gentleman, speaking from
a wide experience. expressed the
opinion that a more practical work is
required of our missionaries. To con-
vert a people is a difficult task requir-
ing great length Of time, and the use
OF every means possible to be brought
to bear. II means education, and in
this money is needed. He pointed oui
that in our new possessions the old
church charges for its offices, and sug-
gestcd that noble philanthropy
would be to establish churches in these
islands where religion should be free,
The idea was not antagonlsm of the
existing form of worship. but refor-
nation, the speaker asserting that re
publican institutions cannot flourish
where there is but one church tC
which all the people conform. This
too. shows the trend Of the idea oi
progress and toleration, an idea tina
demands respect and fun opportunity
for all under the form and sanction
of the law.
The Church universal" if 1t evei
comes. will not be because men decid
to worship under one creed and form
but rather it will recognize differences
of opinion and differences in expires
sion. II will be tolerant enough u
allow these while maintaining a uniol
of spirit which insists only on essen
tials. 1t is here that intelligence help
morality and helps 70 lift u
religion. for as rule, tn
narrow and shallow-minded are tn
ones to set a line beyond which Other
shall not go: these are the person
whose cry is conformity" We Al
beginning TO recognize that worship
not a narrow act which is the produ'
simply of the emotions. but that ol
whole being, including the highe
mental faculties is concerned in
existence.
