Police Commissioner Threatened to
 Drive Clergy From State.

New York, Aug 21.-Mgr Charles J. Kelley, rector of Our Lady of Grace Roman Catholic church, Will low avenue and Fourth street, Ho- boken. In a sermon following the celebration of high mass Sunday yir- tually charged the city authorities with leaguing themselves with dive keepers. He also declared that a po- lice commissioner had made the re- markable threat that he would drive the clergy from the state if they per- sisted In their crusade against it. legal liquor traffic.
 Neither in his sermon nor when seen later did the priest mention any official by name, but he declared that he had made no statement, whatever its inference. that was not warranted by facts within his knowledge and , that he had been impelled to the course of expounding the matter from the pulpit only after he felt con- vinced that the morals of the chill dren of the city were endangered by the existing conditions. In part he said:
 Within not many months there have been crimes against girlhood committed in this city that cannot be recalled without the blush of shame. Because of these crimes against all that good men and women hold high and holy public sentiment was practically unanimous in demanding the abolishing of the dens of iniquity that made them possible. and a law was made prohibiting the obnoxious saloon back room as a step toward | this end.
 This law has been in force since ] July 1, but has 1t been enforced? 1 employed two men to make an in- vestigation. and ther visited 2ss of the 400 or more saloons in the city during the past week. have their certified statement that of these places only eighty-one are without back or side rooms.

When politicians meet and discuss the New York situation, they wag their heads knowingly. A few months ago the opposition to Odell were vociferous as to what they would do to the boss when the occa- sion arose. The state chairmanship was practically offered to half a dozen people. His adversaries had the governorship and the easy man. ner in which young Wadsworth stepped into the speakership of the New York house indicated that the anti-Odellites had everything their own way. But some how or other they could never get down to the scratch and Odell was permitted to remain in the saddle until the recent meeting of the state committee, and now it is doubtful if the opposition can pry him out notwithstanding their claims of controlling the con- vention. He and Senator Platt have kissed and made up and there is no one to head the opposition except Governor Higgins. Incidentally, Hartman, who is strong supporter of odell. has just pulled of a coup which jared Wall streets spinal col umn. It is said that those in the know pocketed 5.OOO.OO0 or s2O.- 0OO.00O as their share of the spells. so Hartman and odell should be we'll supplied with the sinews of war. Probably other New York politicians profited by the tip, which Is calcu- lated to increase their friendship and regard for Hartman and odell.

DYNAMITE THE SAFE.
Burglars Blow Safe and Set Building Afire to Cover Their Tracks
 And Escape.

Perryville, Feb. 27. The post office and general store of Post master D. H. Mcdonald, at Led wedge, a station on the Rock Island railroad some twenty miles southest of Perryville. was broken into, the safe blown and rifed, and the building and contents burned early Sunday morning.
 The building, stock of goods, postoffice and fixtures were a total loss. The loss is estimated at S5, ,000, with $4,000 insurance, so it is said, though the insur- ance papers, which were in the safe, are missing.
 The first inkling the inhabit- ants of the village had of the trouble was the discovery of flames issuing from inside the building. The back door and a back window were found to be open, and a crowbar and other tools were found near the win dow.
 When discovered the flames had made such headway that it was impossible to enter the building for the purpose of sav- ing any of the contents. After the fire an examination of the safe revealed the fact that in had previously been blown open and the contents carried away.
 Postmaster Mcdonald is a large planter and merchant. His busi. ness house was entered about g year ago by unknown persons and the safe blown open, but al that time the robbers secured lit .le of value.

church still continues to draw good crowds. Wasted Infu- ence' was the theme of the evangelist's discourse at the evening service. The congrega- tion listened closely and atten- lively from start to finish,
 There seemed to be more con- . cern on the part of the church people to see the unconverted saved than any previous service.
 A large crowd remained for the after service, and four were converted.
 The meeting will close the last of the week, and the further good that may be done must be done quickly, for the time is short.
 We feel that these meetings have already proven of lasting benefit to our people, and we trust that much more may be accomplished during the remain ing few days they may continue.

ChamberIain's Escape.

Joseph Chamberlain has had sew
eral narrow escapes from death in
his time. He has always been a
great lover of the theater, and he
has written a play himself, and ,
what is more, had it produced. 1t
was at the theater that he had his
closest shave. The piece was a
melodrama. The hero, worked up
with tile excitement of a scene, had
great knife in his hand, and,
while he was brandishing it, the
weapon flew out of his grasp and
came straight for Mr.. Chamberlain 5
head; but it fell short on his knees,
though had the politician been a
few yards nearer it must have ki-
lied him.

There are about 5000 species of
the wild bees, all with interesting
ways of their own. Among them
is a species whose females are
veritable amazons and carry more
and better weapons than the males.
These are the cuckoo" bees, who
deposit their eggs in the nest of
others, the progeny of both living
peaceably together until maturity,
when they separate. Then there
is the tailoring bee who cuts leaves
with his scissors-like jaws and fits
snug lining of the leaf material
into his cave shaped nest.
