Preparing to Save jersey.

q Vineland, N. j., August 25.-So
great is the enthusiasm over the pro-
posed revival in November that the
churches here are hardly big enough
to hold those who attend the union
preparatory prayer meetings. Last
night the First Presbyterian Church
was filled with an audience that wei.
tered in the humid atmosphere, yet
was enthusiastic.
DR.. Charles @. Evans, president of
the New Jersey organization which is
to conduct the great revival, said in a
letter that the same enthusiasm was
manifest all over the State. Twenty
eight towns have already organized
for the work.

Poison Killed Glass-worker.

Millville, August S6.-Chester g..
Walker, a glassblower, drank lauda-
mum at his home this morning and,
despite the efforts of three physicians
to save him, died shortly before noon.
Walkers friends claim that he did
not commit suicide, but that he took
the deadly potion to produce sleep,
and that the first dose probably did
not have the desired effect and he
repeated the dose. Others say he was
respondent. He was 81 years old and
is survived by a widow and three
children.

Wanted to Return War Relic.
Chief Justice Walter CLARK, of the
Supreme Court of North Carolina, has
written Adjutant General Brientnall,
of New Jersey, offering to return the
commission of Captain Archibald
Graham, of the Twenty. fifth New
Jersey Volunteers, which he picked
up where the fighting was heaviest
during the battle Of fredericksburg,
nearly 43 years ago.
Captain Graham, according to the
records here, died in Paterson in De-
cember, 1889, being survived by a
widow, Mrs. Sarah J. Graham. The
latter has been notified of the offer
and will probably request the return
of the commission.

FERGUSON APPEALED TO
THE SOUL OF A THIEF

| In the fire insurance business, which was
the vocation he best knew.
He took the man into restaurant and
fed him. He knew of work that he could
do and would try him at it. A man who
can operate a typewriter at the rate of
one hundred words minute would likely
prove valuable in his office.
There was a spare couch in Ferguson $
room and he could easily accommodate
the man over night. Their talk had re-
vealed numerous favorable signs. The
man had been at Kentuck Military in
sttute, and one of Ferguson's chums had
like wise been trained there. Thence
came the discovery of common acquaint-
ances.
They went out on the car to Ferguson s
place and went in talking earnestly of
the strike and of labor problems gener-
ally. The man had no sympathy for the
'scab' and Ferguson had less for the
union teamsters. They were absorbed
and earnest.
Ferguson began at once making prepa-
rations for the night talking meanwhile.
He sat with a shoe in his hand and his
guest was standing before him.
The change was like flash, and like
flash Ferguson's fish had struck out
a fierce blow below the belt, as this man
suddenly dropped his voice and reached
for Ferguson's watch. The big, deep
chest of the man went shut like burst
balloon and he fell over quite uncon-
scious. Ferguson caught him as he fell
and in an instant was crowding him
through the open window. The body
dropped heavily and never stirred.
Every thief has soul"
Ferguson had no superstitions about
immortality. What Professor Munster
berg has to say on that subject quite
expressed his own views. But the words
rang insistently as he looked once more
on that helpless thing below. Fear he
never felt for moment. What the
world would say he little cared What
every it was that troubled him was pure
ly persona1-his own affair
He sat long into the morning facing
that-his own affair. After all. were they
so different? Was he, the good-hearted
benefactor of men and believer in thieves
souls so very different from the thief
out there? Were they not both thought
less followers of impulses that needed
only to be reviewed In the mind to stay
them from action? To think afterward--
even the philanthropist must knew the
pain of that sometimes. What was the
right of It then If this was all wrong?
There was , some ona stirring below.
Voices came drifting in through the open
window. A growing grayness and the
sounds of awakening traffic told that the
night was far spent. The day was COM
Ing. and with 1t new factors in this
awful problem of life and-perhaps death.
Was 1t death that he had brought to this
other one, this other who had come into
his own life unasked, unknown? And
he, Ferguson, who had willed him only
sood-had he sent him out into the great

r. he had quietly admired the story
4 of Leah KleschnaA Yes" he had
assured himself, paul Silvaine was
right A thief had soul. You can ap-
peal to that
Ferguson had known thieves and worse.
He had heard their stories from their
own lips, and he was rather proud of
the readiness with which he could mark
a crook in the crowd. He was certain,
too, that he had been of service to the
under dog moro than once Even the
narrowing breakdown of that poor fell
low whose contrition had led to a confess
sion of weakness beyond cure and who
was next day back at his old trade
even that experience had been of value
to the wreck of a creature toward whom
he had been tender.
"a thief has a SOUL" The words went
ringing through his ears now as he stood
there at his window and watched the
moon struggling out from the clouds
over the lake.
"A thief has a soul The words clam
ored. He tried not to hear them He
tried to tell himself the story just as it
had happened.
"A thief has soul" The words would
be heard, in fact-Fergnson drew back
from the window. Had some one spoken?
The room was quiet even as they had
found 1t half an hour ago. How had it
happened?
Two hours before Ferguson came up
Van Buren, street from the LaSalle street
station and had waited at Wabash ave-
nue. for a Cottage Grove car A man
came by whom he instinctively marked
for a thief. The nan stopped, perhaps.
to wait for a car, but he watched Fer
guson. Ferguson met his eyes frankly,
and then he felt that he was wrong
Those were not thiefs eyes The man
had clean-cut, well-formed face and a
mighty chest. His clothes were neat
not OF the best material, but neat, ali
save the hat, a crush hat, drawn down
low In front. 1t was the hat that led
Ferguson to think the man was thief.
1t was not honestly worn.
The man suddenly walked straight up
to Ferguson and spoke 1t was a hearty
voice and straightforward. The story
was old. Hungry, tired no money. You
could hear as much hundred times any
night. but not In that language-well
chosen, grammatical. polite. There were
marks of good breeding In 1t.
Ferguson remembered his own coming
to Chicago and how near he had been
TO this same condition. He had made
nifty cents stretch over three days. This
was a plausible story that the man had
told OF his recent coming to the city.

those days, and who knew every face in
the group and was on terms of friendly
acquaintance with some of them, was
pointing them out recently, and specify
ing the rather frowning and leonine coun-
tenance of Robert l.. Toombs of Georgia,
renowned as a violent debater and parti-
san, was reminded of an incident which
he related.
In the employ of the Senate in the
fifties' he said, there was an old fellow
named Schott, Familiarity and somewhat
affeetIonately known by his friends as
Old Bill Schott. The old fellow was an
old man-o wars-man, and served In the
navy when fogging and grog rations were
part of the system. After he quit going
to sea he secured place as a messenger
in the office of the senate sergeant-at-
arms, then Colonel Cunning X. McNair.

silence, the silence more terrible than
that of night or of infinite space?
Ferguson did not move. He lay on the
couch and tried to sleep. Slowly he be-
gan to see the possibilities that might
grow out of this adventure Might he
not be held responsible for crime? He
began to see the thing grow big. 1t was
more than personal affair. He saw how
1t touched his friends. his family, and it
came over him how 1t reached out and
touched all society. One has a deal more
food for thought II he will not think
until afterward.
He was reused early. An officer had
come to learn what had happened. They
had found Smith Wilkins, a notorious
criminal, lying unconscious In the court

dark deeds to his credit. He had studied

ing all before it, even the strong iron
bridge of the most modern pattern
which makes four spans across the
water and over which, with the poles
strongly secured to the iron structure
itself, run forty strands of No. 8
copper wire. Anticipating that the
bridge would go down, a wrecking
party was sent with cable ready to re-
pair the break, but great was the sur
prise of all interested in the phenome-
non when the crash finally came and
the ponderous weight of iron swept
down as if made of yellow pine; the
huge poles, dragging at the forty wires
above and drawing tons on tons as the
bridge washed away, suddenly snapped
-four of them-leaving every wire
intact and the upper stumps suspend
ed in midair.
