Court.

Bert Shinn, James McCue and Abram
Rittenhouse, charged with stealing chick
ems from j. G. Lippincott and Edward G.
Thomas, entered court on Saturday morn
ing. and pleaded guilty after signing
waivers of Indictment
Ex-prosecutor Eckard P. Budd made a
plea in behalf of Shinn and McCue. He
said this was a case where the defendants
had pursued the proper course. They
wanted counsel to place before the court
certain facts which would make them ap-
pear in different light from the ordinary
chicken thieves. There was in Mount
Holly, on Pine street, pool room con-
Quoted by William Reeves, and patronized
by boys, who remained there late at night,
and to whom was sold cider and various
kinds of wines, making them intoxicated.
On the night in question Shinn and Nc
Cue were in the room and they remained
until all others had gone, which was at
midnight. Reeves gave the two men some
wine and they became very much intoxi-
Gated. While in this condition Reeves
suggested to them that if they had some
chickens he would buy them for forty
cents apiece During the previous two
weeks the sole conversation at that place,
said counsel, had -alated to stealing
chickens, and the young men became
hardened by what they saw and heard
there Reeves furnished them with bag
and they started out, going to Lippincott's,
on Pearl street, where they filled their bag
with chickens. Returning to Reeves
saloon, he gave them forty cents and a
quart of cider for one chicken, and forty
five cents each for two more, they being
as many as he could handle.
With the balance of the stolen property,
the two men went to the residence of
Abram Rittenhouse, on Green street, and
put the chickens in the cellar. Then a
trip was made to the house of Thomas, a
few doors away, where more chickens

left his overcoat These chickens
were taken to the home of Rittenhoust
and placed in a bedroom. Shinn lay
down on the floor and remained there
all night. In the morning Mrs. Rit
tenhouse found McUue asleep SITTING
in chair with his feet in the oven of the
stove. The next day some of the chick
ems were cooked by the wife of Ritten
house, and Shinn participated in theil
eating Learning that the authorities
were after them, the pair went to Phila

themselves upon the mercy of the court

in Philadelphia. 1t is the same great cast
which helped to make "The Maid and the
Mummy" so successful during its long
run at the New York Theatre. All to
gether the company is said to number one
hundred and six persons, one of the big
features being the large and well drilled
chorus which itself numbers sixty-two
and which is made up in the main of ex-
ceedingly dainty and fetching fancies of
fair femininity The book and lyrics of
''The Maid and the Mummy" are by Rich
ard earle, while the composer is Robert
Hood Bowers. Mr.. earle has furnished a
most amusing story and The Maid and
the Mummy" is replete with exceedingly
bright lines and laughable situations.
One thing is positive, the success which
has attended "The Maid and the Mummy"
everywhere is unequivocal. Novel stage
business has been introduced, the dances
are exceedingly pretty and there are many
of them, and the music which Mr. Bower
has provided is of the catchy tinkling,
popular order, now days demanded by

presented under the direction Vt the Rich

to the Walnut Street Theatre on Monday,
April 8, and will most probably finish the
season at that popular play house.
MOUNT HOLLY OPERA HOUSE.
An attractive feature of Gorton's Min
strels this season is the clever specialties
of Cleone Pearl Fell, the brightest and
most versatile child actress in the speciality
class. This dainty little entertainer has a
very amusing monologue, perfectly suited
to her talents, and her dancing can be
described as wonderful. As monologuist
she possesses the rare faculty of being an
excellent story teller, her witticisms never
failing to score with her audience. In
her dancing she executes with skill and
precision all the intricate steps of clog,
buck and wing dancing, besides variety
of other terpsichorean advertisements.
She also takes part with Welby and Pearl.
in their comedy dancing sketch, and is
competent, in every way. to share in the
responsibilities of success with those
of established regulations. Miss Fell
will be seen with Gorton's MINISTRIES at
the Mount Holly opera house, Saturday
night, April LIST.

Nearly 80 lives were imperiled last
night by wild dash of blazing car on
the Camden & Trenton trolley line, down
the steep incline leading from the mouth
of the tunnel near Edgewater Park The
car had reached the top of the bill when
suddenly both motors burned out. The
brakes also refused to work and the
vehicle, with floors ablaze, sped back
ward down grade at high speed. A num-
Der of women were in the car and panic
ensued. Fortunately the car held to the
rails and slowed down at the bottom of
the tunnel. The flames were extinguished
and the passengers transferred to another
car.

ed Reverend Mr.. Brown, coming from
Nassau. He remained here four years
and was succeeded by Reverend III.
Sharpley who filled the position 13
months. After him cane the Rever-
end Mr.. Linsberg who was missionary
for three years. The Rev. Mr. Cars
well followed and was here for per-
iod of five years, during which time
he enlarged the original church by
adding the vcstry room and chancel.
The Reverend a. T. Gesner came here
in 1901 and remained for eighteen
months ami Was succeeded by the pres
ent rector, the Reverend Joseph j.
Bowker, who is now nearing the end
of his third year of service with the
church.
A Few Statistics.
During the life of the church 415
persons have been baptized, of which
IS have received the sacrament dur
ing the incumbency of the present
rector There has been total of 157
combinations, 81 of which have been
during the past three years. At the
present time there are 1876 commune
cants on the church rolls which is
double the number recorded when the
present rector took charge.
The New Church.
The first step toward securing a new
building for the parish was in the pur-
chase of four lots on the corner of
Thirty-third street and Second avenue
north. Mr.. Bowker made this pur-
chase 18 months ago at a cost of about
81 ,1O0 Twelve months ago a new
rectory was completed and it is one
of the handsomest an dmost commod-
ious episcopal residences in the dio-
cese. It's cost was $4,000 to which
was later added the cost of heating
plant, $500. The stipend subscriptions
have been almost doubled since June
1904, and active steps are being taken
to organize as self-supporting church
The rector is a strong advocate of
this step, and on a recent Sunday de-
!! livered very strong and forcible SER
mon on the subject. The new church
will cost, when completed, about $10,-
600, and the debt on the building will
not exceed $4,000. The contract, which
was let in August last to E. H. Gag
non, calls for the completion of the
edifice by January /, 1906 and as near
after that date as possible dedication
services of very elaborate descrip-
ton will take place. The present

Rector of Great Falls.
The Reverend F. j. Mynard, rector
of the Episcopal church at Great Falls,
then spoke ON the significance of the
ceremony just witnessed. He said
that he was very glad to be able to be
present. That up in Great Falls they
had heard much of Billings and he
was not to Je counted as ovcrflowing
with local pride when he expressed the
belief that the people of Billings had
heard something of Great Falls. He
hoped some day, he said, that the two
cities would be joined, that they might
become better acquainted. He was
satisfied, from what he had seen of
this city, that it was live, progressive
and growing. Then he li!lened the
stone that had just been laid to the
religion of the Lord Jesus Christ. He
said the buffetings of time and the en-
croachments of the elements woul'i
only fix it the more firmly IN its posi-.
ton. That it was as lasting as tho
eternal hills. That rhe cause of Christ
was on the move; it was spreading
on and on in the fullness of it's might.
For st. Luke's parish he wished that
the erection of the new church might
mark an epoch of renewed life and
spiritual strength and advancement in
its history.
With the benediction by the Bishop
the exercises were then closed.
Brief History of st. Luke's.
In the summer of 1882 the first ser.
vice of the Episcopal church was held
in Billings by the Reverend w. Horse
fall of Miles City. After once visiting
the new city the reverend gentleman
came to the conclusion that there was
field of labor here and he continued
his visits during the summer and fall
of the same year. On February 18
1888, Bishop Brewer visited Billings
and held services in the Congrega
