No Clue to the

A score OF the best officers In New

Ii was taken To an outbuilding near

Just how the registry sack should
have come to be left lying on the
station platform to be picked up at
the convenience of the robber. Is a
feature OF the case that has not yet

Today the Catholic church at Sa-

vout attention to the very excellent
sermon Of the pastor, Rev. M. A. d.
Rivera, who was at his best, being
overwhelmed at so large an attend

the great feast of Corpus Christi. Al.
ter the sermon the procession was
formed, single file and double, then
came the children, twenty little girls
beautifully robed in white veil
and spreading flowers before the way
of the most Blessed Sacrament; then
came the pastor, Rev. NJ. A. ID. Rivera
carrying under very costly canopy
the Most Blessed Sacrament; then
came the several sodalities. Four al.
tars had been erected, at which the
usual solemn blessing was given to the
faithful. the choir at each altar sing

Mike Flood, who was shot by Rob

his wounds at the Ladies' Home at
six o'clock last evening. Hopes were
entertained for his recovery up to
five o'clock when he began TO sink

end had come TO his earthly existence,
he remarked to A. A. Meloney, who
visited his bedside two or three times
during the afternoon: Poor Mac, I
don't know what will become of him,
but I have hard road to travel"
There Is enough Of feeling and pathos
in this ante-mortem statement for a
text for sermon from the pulpit.
The dying man also remarked TO Mr..
Meloney that the trouble was wholly
blamable upon John Bach a sort OF a
gobetween tale-bearer.

His Economy,

Senator Jim Fair had two marked
characteristics-ecOn and love Of
joking. He never forgot frugality in
his extensive business, and he even
made his own economy a subject for
humor
Once while puttering around over the
Comstock he slipped and started feet
first down deep, narrow shaft. There
was a long, continuous wooden ladder
reaching to the bottom, with its every
twelfth rung Of iron to strengthen the
structure. Down this he sped.
"When 1 found myself slidin' down
toward the center of the EARTH" said
the senator, who used to enjoy telling
the story, Il thought it was time to
begin doin' sOmethin', so 1 commenc.
ed to grab at the ladder rungs. AsI
went down l broke every single one OF
them wooden sticks. This checked the
speed of my fall, and l landed bout
