POWERS TIME NOT UP.
Last Nights Burglary Mieht Have
 Been Prevented.

A peculiar state of affairs was re- vealed in the city court this morning to be existing in the county jail.. The disclosure was made incidental to the trial of John Powers who was charged with burglary. It was. well known to the officers of the court that Powers should still have been In Jail and how he got out was a mystery to them His very long record showed that on January he, with one Barrett, was arrested for breaking into the store of the Bar low Bros Co on Grand street, and that he was fined $50 and costs and given ninety days in Jail. Yet q few weeks after their commitment it was discovered that Barrett was in nocent and he was released.
 Powers stated that he was re- leased from jail about three weeks ago, though the police officers are l, under the impression that he has been around town longer than that.
 Recording to his own statement he could not have served more than two months of his sentence which would be about equivalent to the fine and costs in his case.
 It is the custom at the Jail that all prisoners must serve the time sentence and if any leniency is shown them the fine and costs are taken off In this case, however, quite the reverse was done, and how or why is a mystery to the officers of the city court.

THE POLICE COURT.
John Powers Bound Over Charged With Burglary.

E John Powers added to his already long police record this morning. He was charged with breaking into the Barlow Bros Co.'S store on Grand street last night and taking dozen razors, worth $20, ten knives of the value of SIP and $5 in cash. He pleaded not guilty. Late last even- ing Officer s. Walsh saw Powers is- suing from the driveway leading to the rear of the Barlow Co.'S store and he asked him what he was doing there. Powers said he did not know This morning the officer again asked him, and also who was with him, and again he said he did not know. The burglary was not discovered un- til the store was opened this morn ing. Then Detective Keegan was put on the scent and he ascertained that Powers had been hanging around Benzine corner last night and slept at the Wayside Inn. On gen. eral principles Powers was then ar rested and when his room was search ed two knives and number of ra- TOTS were found in his bed. Only $1 of the money was found on him. Powers made a poor statement and he was bound over to the superior court on bail of $1,000.
 Alcide Montovan was fined $5 and costs for intoxication, and Willie Frank was fined $1 and costs for loitering on the sidewalk.

WHISPERING TELEPHONE.
By Which Messages Cnn Be Sent in Privacy When People Are
 Close By.

The secrephone is the whispering telephone. A message can be whispered into it so that a person standing but a yard away cannot hear what is being said, while every word is correctly transmitted to the receiver at the other end of the line, mile away or more. For this to be done the massage must be actually whispered. If spoken more loudly, of course, the speaker can be heard more than yard away from the transmitting instrument. Properly used, however. a message can be sent in privacy even with people quite close. As presen. experience goes, it requires some little practice to pitch the voice correctly so as to get the best results with the faintest whisper. But the lesson is not difficult to learn. People with high pitched voices will undoubt- edly make themselves heard more dis tinctly at the other end of the line with less noise at the transmitting end than is possible for those with low pitched voices. The instrument Is claimed to be practically imperishable and cannot get out of order with ordi- nary use. People that are little deaf and cannot hear with ordinary tele- phones can hear quite distinctly when a secrephone is used. A bad or indis- tinct line Is said also to be made quite clear under the most adverse circum- stances when this magical instrument is employed; the volume of sound on trunk lines and long-distance tele- phones Is increased threefold, and the troubles caused by induction and cross circuits are largely overcome. Further more, 1t being small of size and 4ghtt of weight, can be carried and used for attachment to any telephone. and thus the need for the stuffy telephone boxes is obviated.

BABY TIPPED OUT.
While the Mother Was Battling With
 Storm and Broken Umbrella.

The few people on the streets Mon- day night during the storm wit messed a peculiar incident on East Main, near Orange street. A woman was going along through the rain holding an umbrella over her head, at the same time endeavoring to push go-cart in which there was a baby. When the mother came to the crossing, while attempting to get over without walking into puddle, the cart upset and the child landed in pool of slush and water. To make matters worse a gust of wind scame along and blew the umbrella inside out. The mother endeavored to mend the umbrella while her child was on the ground with its face in the snow. Officer Stevens came to the rescue, picking the child up and placing it in the go-cart, while he gave the mother few words of advice.

Preach Sermon.

All of the lodges Of Odd Fellows In
Richmond and the suburbs attended SER
vices at Broad Street Methodist Church

Of the order and spoke of It's foundation
and rapid growth. He dwelt especially
on its strong formation In Richmond
since its organization here.
Mr.. Spooner's text was taken from the
ninth verse 81 the, ninth CHAPTER of no
mans, whichFdealt with the, presumption
of man to question God. He related how
God had often shown His power and dem
onstratcd how fragile a creature man was

Client empires which sought to bring all
races and peoples under one govern
mental head. The great Roman Empire,
which covered almost the whole Of the
known world, was created ard held to-
gether by something more than physl-
cal force. It's rapid growth through
many centuries was due largely to that
human instinct which Is ever covoting
and seeking the JOY. strength and glory
Of universal brotherhood. The Same
instinct nanifcsts itself in modern So
cinlIstic movements which nre ill-found-
cd foolish and miscellaneous.

Grated his vast fortune was the political
consolidation OF all tho Anglo-saxon ma

when he sang of The Parliament Of
Man and the Federation Of the World.
Many have been the schemes which
philosophers and philanthropists have
proposed for advancing the world to-
wards Jrennyson's ideal state. Every OLA
of them failed They failed because they
ignored divine truth as to the radical
