WILLIE HAS DISAPPEARED
This Time Young Murphy's
Friends Think He Has Gone
to Ireland.

His parents now believe that fourteen
year-old William Murphy, of No. q Jeffer-
son avenue, whose disappearance was re-
ported to the Third Precinct police on
Friday last, has gone to seek new fields
for his industry and financial ability.
Despite his few years, William has for
some time chafed under the restraint of
parental restrictions and longed for in
dependence and new worlds TO conquer.
A year ago. with some loose change in
his pocket he disappeared suddenly, and
when he returned few months later.
he was comparatively we'll supplied with
money which he had earned and saved at
the Pan-American Exhibition.
When doubt was expressed by some Of
his friends as to his ability to travel so
far on as meagre a capital as he had
when he left home, William confidently
replied that if he had ten dollars he would
go to Ireland, as he hoped to do yet. This
promise. coupled with the fact that he
had Just before his departure drew $29
that he had earned at the PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad meadow shops, leads his friends
to believe that he has undertaken the trip
to the home of his ancestors
His father and stepmother are not much
worried over his disappearance, as they
have every confidence in Williams a,s.lity
TO take care of himself. Mrs. Murphy
saws her stepson's love of travel and ad-
venture is due to the trashy novels he
has been in the habit of reading.

SWEET TOOTHED BURGLARS
They Break Into a Candy Store
Smoke Up the Cigarettes
and Eat All the Confec-
tions in Sight.

Evidently the burglars who entered
Charles S. Mounts candy store at NO.
1921 Boulevard last Thursday night were
more intent on enjoying themselves than
on obtaining any considerable quantity OF
booty.
That they did enjoy themselves to their
hearts content was plainly indicated to
the owner on the morning after the rob
berry by the butts of cigars and cigarettes
lying around; the ice cream dishes wroni
which they mad feasted and the PIN
nochle deck, with which they had enjoyed
a friendly game, left lying on the coun-
ter
This condition coupled with the fact
that much candy had been taken from
the shelves and showcase satisfied the
police that the burglars were boys. They
had obtained an entrance by removing
the glass in rear window and they had
also taken out a pane in the front win
dow. Altogether they managed to do
about $40 worth of damages and certainly
they must have had good time at Mr.
Mounts expense.

CHURCH'S DIFFICULTY
Trustee johnson Says the FL
nanciai Affairs Of Swedish
Lutheran Ebenezer Are
Sound.

No reference to the financial difficult
ties confronting the congregation was
made at either service in the Swedish
Lutheran Ebenezer Church, Palisade
near Hoboken avenue, yesterday, al
though it was known that the matter
was considered at a meeting of the trus-
tees held on the previous evening.
In the absence of a regular pastor, the
pulpit was filed by theological student.
Every available seat in the pretty httle
house of worship was occupied at the
morning service, and in the evening when
the Sunday School cholars held their
usual Easter celebration.
Trustee A. Johnson, of Palisade near
Hoboken avenues. in discussing matters
pertaining to the church yesterday, said
that plans to meet the financial obliga-
tions of the church had been discussed
at Saturday nights meeting of the trus-
tees. but would not made public before
next Friday. He declared that the
chuch was in better condition financial
ly and other ways today than ever be-
fore in its history, and that no difficult
ty would be experienced in meeting the
outstanding notes, ON one of which suit
has already been begun.
There was trouble caused by petty
jealousy on the part of certain members
of the church, who sought to create a
division, but they are gone now" said
Mr.. johnson. He denied that Pastor
Danielson had left the church on account
of the dissension, and said that the cler-
gyman had received an advantageous
call from Brooklyn church and had ac-
cepted it.
while the pulpit is now being filed
by theological students temporarily, on
July 1 Pastor Lormann, of Rock Island,
ILL.,, will assume charge of the congre-
CATION Mr. johnson continued. He adj
ded that the church during the past year
had not only paid its running expenses,
but had cleared off some old debts as
well, and expressed the greatest conf
dence that the esixting difficulties would
be tided over and the church start on a
career of prosperity unequalled in its his
tory.

Forepaugh's S Circus Encamp-
ed at Marion Leaves for
New York Yester-
day.

Oh! my, didn't the boys have lots of
fun with the encalnpment, in Marion, of
Forepaugb & Sells Brothers show, which
moved from the ground which have used
since Friday to New York last night.
1t arrived from Columbus, Ohio, in
three sections over the Pennsylvania
Railroad en- route for Madison Square
Garden, where they will open tonight.
When the cars We're unloaded and
men began to get the big tents in order
and the live stock attended to, boys came
down in hordes from every section Of
the hill. There was no scarcity of help.
That boy who was allowed to carry a
tent pin was the envy of the rest, and if
perchance he was allowed to lead horse
his fame was secured.
The camp scene late last night would
have delighted an artist. A cold driz-
zling rain fell torches fiickered in the
tent, the horses whinnied and queer
noises issued from the darkened cages.
Wearied and wet the employees sat in the
mess tent enjoying cups of steaming cof-
fee, and plates of beef and potatoes.
When driver had finished a meal he
would make way for some one else, but
ton up his coat and get his team on hand
ready for the general advance of the big
caravan.
One of the biggest wagons stuck fast
up to the hubs of the wheels in the thick
red Marion mud. and bystander asked
"Cel' Jack Shumale, "a section chief, y
what he would do.
"Wal,'' he replied, shifting his chaw.
nwe hook four horses on the pole, and
four on each corner, and we generally go
about where we please" was the reply.
amt no way about it. If horsehesh
can't move it alone we bring out the ele-
phants This ground is purity soft, !
reckon, and that S what Wen have to
do before we ever get out of here.
I'VE put, the bulls on behind. They
butt instead of pull, and when it comes
to showing they amt much that can beat
'em, but you've got to have front end
| moving all the time, for when bull
shoves he lifts at the same time, and I'M
! less. you've got horses on in front, he's
liable to upset whatever he's up against. :
The last van was safely oyer the
/ Twenty-third street ferry before mid
night, and tonight that struggling mass
! Of mud-eoyered wagons will as if by
magic, unfold all sorts of wonderful
things. making a picturesque circus the
delight of the young and the old-Oh
no, not at all.
