sermon distinctly. This instrument is attached to the reading desk, and is shaped something like telephone, and also bears little resemblance to a camera. It conveys sound through wires running to small receivers which are to be used by persons who can, un- der ordinary circumstances, hear noth- ing at all
 The instrument does not attract any more attention than q reading lamp would on a desk. The wires are out of sight and run along the floor of the church to certain seats, where small re- ceivers are located. These receivers can be held to the ear without attract ing the notice of those who sit near by and the deaf person in the congrega- ton catch every word of the sermon. In delivering his sermon. Dr. Hamlin does not raise his voice above the ordi- nary pitch. He talks directly toward the instrument on the pulpit and keeps near it all the time he is speaking He and his deaf parishioners are delighted with the success of the instrument, and 1t is probable that the latter will be- come very popular in this city.
 Dr. Hamlin is one of the broad mind ed. progressive. clergymen of the day who believes in the adoption of modern inventions and eonveniences that will add to the comfort of his congregation. No false dignity or pride prevents his adopting what some people call ''fads. :" The doctor is known as the bicycle preacher" in Washington as he early adopted that two-wheeled vehicle as a convenient and speedy means of visit ing his parishioners. When called sud- denly 10 attend any of his people the doctor mounts his wheel and makes his way to distant parts of the city in a short time

BULL" IN CHINA SHOP.

New York Aug. 3.-Samuel Sobel is new hero of the old story, "A Bull in China Shop"
 Mir Sobel was for many years a prosperous crockery merchant at No. 1S9 Bowery. He was also a close friend of Simon Steingut, the Mayor of Second Avenue"
 Mir Steingut is real estate broker. When the recent booms in real es- tate were well under way he put Samuel Sobel into one of his good things The Bowery china shop be. came too small for Sobel. Instead of fondling rare bits of pottery he was studying block maps, or dickering with real estate brokers. Finally his neighbors and business associates be- gan to hint about paying more atten- ton to eaockery.
 Don't bother me, I'm a bull" eS- claimed the merchant. I'm big bull on the real estate market
 Well, do you know what the bull did in the china shopf' some one asked. Tt smashed all the china"
 Then I'll get out" replied Sobcl. I've made $25.000 in the past three months. I won't smash the china but I'll sell the business"
 And so he did. the deal being com pleted yesterday.

 Osler. This s.is Rev. Dr. Edward Ever cit Hale, the chaplain of the United States senate. Dr. Hale would be striking figure in throng of 10000. He is tall, slender, with just slight stoop and is conspicuous for the splen- did head that surmounts his shoulders. It is the head of 8 philosopher, and such one as the old painters loved to put on canvas. He has long hair, brown and gray, blue eyes, deep set, and his beard is almost white. He has a deep, strong voice, and his morning invocation at the opening of the ses- sions of the senate sounds like mu- sical chant.
 Dr. Hale is one of the busy old men who does not live in the past, but who believes in working for to-day and to- morrow. He is the author of ten books and is still writing. One of the best known of his works is "The Man With out a Country" He is of the strenu- ous type, physical and mental, just the kind of an old man that President Roosevelt delights in He comes of the grandest stock in America, and Nathan Hale, the patriot spy of the revolution, was his great-uncle Dr. Hale when but nine years of age was practicing shorthand, and he says himself that at the age of 12 years he could set type as well as an average journeyman. His father was a teacher lawyer, a civil engineer and an editor of daily news paper.
 | It was through the efforts of the late Senator Hoar that Dr. Hale was se- cured as chaplain of the senate.

JBssB JAMES ON WEST SHORE.
Suspect Arrested in Connection With
 an Express Car Hold Up.

 Newburg, Aug 3-The arrest of William Rice here has revealed the fact that on Friday night train rob bers made bold attack on West Shore train and footed an express car for Saratoga. It Is thought that the gang boarded the train here at mid night, forced entrance to the car and broke open forty express packages.
 The amount of the booty is not known, since the claims are not in, but from one package more than .S100 worth of goods were taken. Detectives were put on the train last night in the belief that the attempt would be re- peated. At this city Rice, who said he was detective, told them they must get off. When they did not move he drew revolver. They put him under arrest. Several other men who were waiting some distance north opened fire on the detectives.
 In one of Rices pockets was. found peculiar candle, duplicate of which was found in the car after the rob bery.

prepared themselves TOT the profess sions of law, medicine and theology. The graduates In law numbered 267. in medicine 100. and in theology 20. There were 70 clerks who had been au- thors, A were editors, IS editors and publishers, 27 printers, l51 newspaper correspondents, four reporters. three proofreaders, B magazine writers and one confessed to having been a poet. A total of IA clerks held diplomas from colleges and universities.
 This office naturally attracts old sol- diers, but it is surprising to learn the number of men who held high rank who are in the service. Among the men now passing on war claims who formerly held military titles are one
 major general, one adjutant general, five brigadier generals, eight colonels, seven lieutenant colonels, 12 majors, 4S captains, 80 lieutenants and eight sec ond lieutenants. Among men who for merly helped make state laws there are nine ex-members of houses of repre- sentatives of various states and four ex-state senators. There are IS former justices of the peace, five county Judg- es, seven probate judges, three police judges and 12 sheriffs There are Fl former surgeons, two bankers, six den- lists and two elocutionists. There are no less than 457 of the 1,200 clerks who formerly followed teaching as a pro- fession. It is sad commentary on hu- man failure to note the number Of pro- fessional derelicts who have drifted into this dead harbor of government service.

istration, and particularly in depart ments and branches of the service with which Postmaster General Cortel- you, a clean-cut young man has to do. This particular young gentleman is Frank H. Hitchcock. the new first as- sistant postmaster general, who has made rapid strides since coming to Washington He seems to have a com- prehensiye grasp of the duties of his office. and when congress reassembles he will be put to the supreme test of demonstrating how to handle men.
 Mir Hitchcock entered the public ser- vice in a technical position in the sg- ricuItural department immediately upon his graduation from college. He attracted attention by his gen. tlemanly demeanor and the abiii- ty with which he did his work. When Mr Cortelyou became sec retary of the department of eom- merce and labor he picked on Mir. Hitchcock as the sort of man he want ed for chief clerk of that department. His judgment of Mir Hitchoock's char aeter and abilities vas so fully iusti- fed that when NIT. Cortelyou was placed al the head of the republican national committee he asked his young friend to leave the government and go with him as a sort or executive clerk of that big political organization. The fire of a strenuous political campaign tried the metal of Mir Hitchcock and showed it to be pure gold: so 1t was when Mir Cor;elyou became postmas- ter general he installed Mir. Hitchcock a. his right-hand man as first assistant postmaster general
