With Prayer and Singing.

New York, Aug. 3.-Modeled after
the famous Squirrel Inn," on the
Bowery, Bishop Henry c. Potter Tues
day opened the new Subway Tav-
ern," at Mulberry and Bleeker streets,
near police headquarters. Although
this is a saloon, so far as the sale of
intoxicating drinks is concerned, the
principal address was made by the
most noted Episcopalean minister in
the United States, and the exercises
were concluded by the singing of the
old long meter doxology, Praise God,
From Whom All Blessings Flow" by
the audience.
Columbus, o., Aug. 3.-'There is no
difference between a place run like
that and the other saloons of the
country except that it may be more
orderly than some of them. The ele-
ment of evil is there as much as in
other saloons if intoxicating drinks
are sold. 1t is just as harmful upon
it's patrOnizing public as the others,
and only differs from the average sa-
loon in the attempt made to obey the
laws and keep ORDER" declared Ma
tiOnal Superintendent P A. Baker, of
the Anti-Saloon league, when asked
Tuesday for his opinion of the saloon
which had its formal opening Tues

Everything Metallic On Board Yes
sci Was Maqnetized.

Philadelphia, Aug. 2.-The British
ship Mohican, while making for the
Delaware breakwater, has encountered
a strange phenomenon. A cloud of
phosphOric appearance enveloped the
vessel. magnetizing everything on
board. Capt Uruquhart says the ves-
sci and crew had fiery coating.
when the sailors saw it," said the
captain, they rushed along the deck
in CONSERVATION. 1 looked at the nee
die and it was flying around like an
electric fan. l ordered several of the
crew to move some iron chains that
were lying on the deck, thinking to
distract their attention. The sailors
could not bulge the chains, although
they did not weigh more than 70
pounds each.
Everything was magnetized, and
chains, bolts, spikes and bars were as
tight on the deck as if they had been
riveted there The cloud was so dense
that it was impossible for the vessel
to proceed l could not see beyond
the decks. 1t appeared as if the whole
world was a mass of glowing fire.
The sailors fell on decks and prayed.
Suddenly the cloud began to lift. The
phosphorescent glow on the ship and
the crew began to fade. In a few
minutes the cloud passed over the YES
sci and we saw it moving off over the
sea"

KIDNAPPING CHARGED.
VIM. Jensen and Wife and a Little
Girl i'm Custody in Chicago.
For Two Years Danish Government
Has Been Searching For Them and
Had Detectives in Large AM
erican Cities Engaged.

Chicago, Aug. 3-EISie Gellert, q
little Danish girl of five years, is i'll
the custody of the federal authorities
here. William Jensen and his wife,
Mary, also are in custody charged
with having kidnapped the child in Den
mark
While it is stated that the child's
parents are wealthy and that a ran
som of 100000 has been demanded
for her return to Denmark, the Jen-
sens insist that they are in rightful
possession of the little girl. The case
will be decided before United States
Commissioner Foote Wednesday. For
more than two years the Danish gov
ernment has been searching for the
Jensens and detectives in every large
city of the United States have been
looking for them The chase ended
Tuesday in Chicago, where they are
located in North Halstead street. Geo.
Bech, acting consul in New York for
the Danish government, arrived from
pers and the correspondence between
the governments.
The story told by the Danish agents
is that M. Gellert, father Of the child,
is one of the richest men of Den
mark, and makes his home upon a
magnificent estate at Friderica. In
1902 he had one daughter, Elsie, who
was three years old. He had valet
of the name of Jensen, and there also
was in the family a young woman
nurse.
Mrs. Gellert was i'll and the little
girl was almost entirely in the charge
of the nurse. The valet and the nurse
disappeared, it is said, taking the
child with them.
No clew could be obtained to their
whereabouts at first, but later it was
found they had all landed in New
York The Danish authorities stirred
up the American state department and
for the last two years the search has
continued without intermission.
The story as told by the Jensens is
that they were prosperous trades peo-
pie in Denmark. The child, they say,
practically was deserted by her par
ents, and out of pity for the little one
they volunteered to care for her.
There was no adoption. The Jensens
simply took Elsie, they say, with the
mothers consent. Two years ago they
came to America and brought the
child with them. They deny that they
have lived under assumed names, as
the Danish officers charge, or that
they have made any demands for
money.

HAND TO HAND FIGHT.
Police Used Their Clubs Against
the Stockyard Strikers.
An Angry Crowd of Two Thousand
Men and Women Made Repeated
Attacks on the Deering Street
Police Station.

Chicago, Aug. "A fight in which
a squad of police, summoned by riot
call, had to use their clubs against
strike-sympathizers occurred Monday
afternoon in an alley near the yards.
The police won the day and took into
custody two of the men who had beat
en- George Guschla, strike breaker,
so badly that his life is despaired of.
The crowd hurled stones and sticks
at the police when the two members
of the mob were arrested, but none of
the police were hurt.
Rioters stoned the Deering street
police station late Monday night and
for a quarter of an hour the police
battled with the crowd of 1000 men
and women as it charged the station
repeatedly with sticks and stones,
shouting vengeance against the po-
lice.
Chicago, Aug. 3.-The meat packers
whose union employees are on strike
claim to be in a better position now
than at any time since the struggle
began. When asked for the packers
side of the situation Tuesday night,
Arthur Meeker, general manager for
Armour & Co., said:
1.-The strike may be said to be near
an end. At the rate we are securing
new employees it will be only matter
of short time now until everything
will be in normal condition with us
once more"
Despite these declarations of the
packers representative the pens at
the stockyards are filed with cattle
and hogs that buyers make no bid for
in the market. According to commits
sion men and officials of the Union
Stockyards and Transit Co., out of the
live stock received Monday and Tues
day over 10000 sheep and 10000 hogs
were re-shipped and unsoId stock is
rapidly accommodating in the cattle
pens.
Chicago, Aug. 4.-The threatened
spread Of the stockyards strike to out
side industries came Wednesday night
when an order was issued by the
Teamsters' union prohibiting drivers
of ice wagons from making any deliv-
cries to retail merchants who, since
the packing house teamsters went on
strike, have been hauling meat from
the yards in their own wagons. As
the refrigerators in the meat markets
do not hold enough ice to last longer
than 4S hours, if the order cutting off
the supply of ice can be enforced, it
means that the majority of people in
Chicago will be compelled to go on
short rations as far as meat is con-
cerned. The officials of the Teamsters'
union have appointed pickets to watch
the meat markets all over the city
and these men have been instructed
to see that the boycott is carried out
to the limit.
In a riot which broke out at the
yards Wednesday night two policemen
were injured and % rioters were ar
rested after having been beaten into
subjugation. The trouble started
when five strike breakers from one of
the machine shops in one of the pack
ing plants were leaving the yards and
tried to board street car to go to
their homes
