CHURCH FOR ALL CREEDS.

St. Louis Physician to Esta blish and
 Maintain Unique Society.
 A church where men and women of all creeds and faiths may gather and worship God in the simplest form i'm aginable, where there will be no preach ing and no sermons, no choir, no ritual, no ceremony and no collection plate, where all the pews will be free and only automatic music from electrically operated chimes and pipe organ will be heard-such is the church that Dr. Au- gust Schmidt, German physician, will erect and maintain at his own expense in South St. Louis, says a dispatch from that city.
 Dr. Schmidts conviction of what constitutes Christianity was acquired after two years of mental and spiritual torment, during which he was pursued and tormented ceaselessly by voice" urging on him countless sins and crimes and promising him immunity from pun ishment or suffering as a consequence.
 Nightly he strove against this "voice," praying and reading his Bible till finally, he says, he was made to understand that the Bible was inspired by both God and the devil, the latter being responsible for the parts in coD- tradiction to the divine messages. The devil exercises hypnotic influence over the souls of sinners. and in many cases they are unable to resist his tempta- tions and are for that reason .absolved by God from all responsiAAifg stheir deeds. the penalty of which must be paid by Satan himself Deliberate sins, Dr. Schmidt says. are compensated for in this life. Gods will is that all men should live. but the devil would have all men die After death the souls of the entirely wicked are dissolved in the soul of Satan. thereby increasing his power and his punishment.
 All churches are good. and all creeds are good, says Dr. Schmidt, but they all err in falling to conduct a positive and aggressive warfare against the fiend. The mere worship of God is neg ative Christianity Christians should be warriors, fighting always against the evil one

Umhrc.l s.Ilh . History.

The state of California was present. ed with an interesting historical relic the other afternoon when Mrs. s. J. HensIey gave J. A. Filcher and Frank wIggins an umbrella which had shel- tered the admission papers of the state in their trip from Washington to San Francisco. says the Portland Orego- nian. On the trip across the Chagres river on the fsthmus of Panama 1t rained for seven days. and during all this time the papers were sheltered by Miss Crosby under the umbrella given to the state as a historical relic. Miss Crosby afterward became the wife of Major s. ]. Hensley of sutter's fort and all during the following years has cherished the umbrella as 6 memento of the trip.

SNEAK THIEVES ABOUT
Several Articles of Wearing Apparel and Gold
 Watches Are Missing.

Sneak thieves are operating with great success in this city, and people should be on the lookout and see to it that while they are down town doing their Christmas shopping that ali their doors are firmly locked. In the early part of the week some clever fellow paid visit to the home uf Mrs Lillian Winters at 54 Burton street and after giving the place lookore. departed with four gold watches which hap pened to be lying around loose.
 4 man said to be rather tall wear ing brown fedora, entered room in block on East Main street day or two ago and got away with some clothing and gold watch.
 The south end has also received a few calls from these fellows who are so light fingered. Miss Abbie Kane of South Main street had a valuable coat taken from her hall rack during the week and Miss Katherine Luddy Hf Ayers street had set of furs and 2 coat taken from her hall on Tuesday. Of course the police and detective force are after the thieves. but as they left no clews behind they are in all probability a long distance in the rear.
 This is good time for clothes stealers to get in their work. and as they seem to be doing nicely the peo- Iple who have not as yet suffered should keep their wearing apparel ip a safe place.

 Used Coercion.
 New York, Dec 21.-Senator George k. Malby, who is acting us spokesman Ill the candidacy of E. A. Merritt. IF. Tor the speakership of the assembly. to-day was asked if it was true as re- ported that he contemplated taking impeachment proceedings against Gov ernor Higgins because of the gov ernor's action in naming J. W. Wads- worth, 1T. as his candidate for the speakership. Senator Malby said:
 What 1 said was that it was an i'm peachable offense. I never knew or such coercion. The governor an nounces himself for Wadsworth and then up steps his insurance commis. sioner, who has retained his position under considerable difficulties. and de. elares that his three men are fer Wadsworth. Then Railroad Commis- sloner Aldridge, whom Governor Hip. gins appointed lately, also announces himself for Wadsworth. and the effect or the governors coercion is evident. is it nOt?'

BOARD OF SAFETY
J. F. BagIey Changed Residence Name Taken
 From Special Officer List.

At meeting of the board of pub lie safety yesterday afternoon it was voted to remove the name of John +. Bagley from the list of special police officers. It has been learned on defi- nite authority that the baseball player has removed to York; Pa. where be figured prominently in fire the past week. The building on fire was the the York Wheeling club and Bagley was the second man to enter tue burn ing structure and with the aid of q policeman carried Il young man out who was fast suffocating The loss to the building was $30.000.
 Chief Snagg told of the accident to the Burton street hose wagon on the day of the fire on Mitchell avenue and Of the injury received by Captain Lynch, which was broken rib.
 A fire alarm box was ordered placed on East Main street at the entrance to Hamilton park and one also at the corner of North Elm and Kingsbury streets. Acting on the suggestion of Chief Snagg the board of public works was ordered to place a fire hy- drant on Mitchell avenue. The chief complained that during the fire there because of the large amount of hose that had to be used, she force of the water was greatly hs1npered.
 The police pension fund was enrich ed by S2o which the local police re. ceiyed from the United States govern ment for the capture of deserter.
 The Fire Appliance company of Boston will not be allowed to send their wires into the Brooklyn fire house through the city conduits. The house has no tower. consequently the wires will have to go i'll through a con duit. Mir Davis, the firms represen- tatiye, although he was denied the right to use the municipal conduit by the chief, thought he would get some satisfaction by appealing to the board He got none.
 The board adjourned until Wednes- day, the 27th of this month.
