ROBBERS STEAL SERMON;
PASTOR WANTS IT BACK
Pittsburg Minister Had Not Learned
1t Yet--Topic Was Financial.
Police on Trail of
cuIprits

PITTSBURG, Pa, Dec. 29.-If any one
finds a carefully written document en-
titled Christ Cleanses the Temple with
in the next week or so Rev. DIR. w. j.
Reid, pastor of the First United Presby-
terian church of this city hereby an
nounces that it Is sermon of his and
he'd like it back. He had prepared it for
delivery before his fashionable congresa-
tion, but burglars got into the church
building and cleansed that temple of the
collection boxes and pretty nearly every
thing else of value, including the minis
ter's sermon.
Worse, DIR. Reid hadn't learned his SER
mon by heart, and things at his study
were bit in the air. The pastor was
digging into a barrel for talk on the
"Crime of '73' to use as substitute and
the police are looking for the thieves.
DR.. Reid has been much worked up over
the financial crisis and so he decided te
make it his topic, and despite the fact
that many of the members of his con-
gregation count their wealth away up In
the millions. he selected the story OF
Christ entering the temple and driving
out the money lenders.
The robbers ruined one OF the memorial
windows and ransacked the pastor
study, taking some valuable papers, pu'
the most important was the sermon.
"Ive only one consolation" sighed DIT
Reid. Maybe the miscreants Will read
the sermon and it may reform them

WIFE DIDN'T KNOW SHE
HAD BEEN DIVORCED
Testifying in Suit for Non-support,
Discovers Mate Had Secured De-
cree and Continued to
Live with Her

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-When Ethel
Cans of PIG North Fourth street Harri-
son, N j., appeared before Justice Bran
nigan to testify in her action for nom
support against her husband, Isaac Cans,
she was confronted by a copy of decree
of the chancery court of New Jersey,
dated November 13, 1902, which granted
Cans a divorce from her on the ground
Of desertion. Mrs. Cans declared that she
had never heard of the decree and that
she would try to have it set aside and
continue her present action.
When testimony was taken In Cans
suit before Foster M. Voorhees,, formerly
governor of New Jersey. as special
master in chancery. Mrs. Cans had
separated from her husband and was with
relatives in Connecticut. 1t was alleged
that she had deserted him. Notice to her
of the suit was made by publication She
says she never saw the notice and that
Cans visited her frequently while she
was in Connecticut.
He made no mention of divorce pro-
ceedings even after they had become
reconciled and lived together for nearly
four years.
In the last four years, Mrs. Cans de-
clares, she has signed legal papers as the
wife of Cans, one of them being recent
mortgage for $4,000 which he put on some
property.

C0URTE0USLY BRUSHES OFF
ASHES; S4O0 PIN MISSING
Second Robbery In Year-Thiefs
Methods Are Absolutely New,
Declares New York Jew-
eIry Salesman

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.--"Oh beg your
pardon. I knocked ashes all over your
coat" said a polite, well dressed stranger
as he bumped into w. C. Lupus, a jewell
ry salesman, who is stopping at the Hotel
York, yesterday in Herald square LIP
pus. who was walking along Broadway
toward his hotel was knocked almost
from his feet.
AS he recovered the polite stranger
hastily took a handkerchief from his
pocket and began to brush off the clothes
of the jewelry salesman. Lupus protest.
ed that he unexpected kindness was un-
necessary, but the stranger brushed on
Then he disappeared in the crowd
With the stranger Lupus believes went
beautiful solitaire diamond pin, which
he valued at 500. The jewery man did
not discover his loss until he reached the
hotel so the thief had plenty of time in
which to make his escape. The robbery,
with good description of the polite
stranger was reported to the police.
They have no clew to his identity.
This is the second time within year,
Lupus says, that he has been robbed. In
the summer. while leaving a tenderloln
restaurant, he YVES attacked by a thug,
who took from him a valuable diamond
stud, gold watch and a fob, with a
diamond studded Masonic charm. The
police never succeeded in locating any Of
this stolen jewelry.
This cigar ash trick is entirely new,
and 1t was worked so we'll that ! can
hardly believe that this polite stranger
took my pin," unused Lupus, as he told
the story of the robbery.

LOOT COPPER CORNER STONE,
BUT VANDALS GET NO GOLD
Relic in New York Baptist Church
Robbed-Treasurer's Report Is
Nearest Approach to
Money

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Thieves roppeu
the cornerstone of the new Amity Bap-
fist church, o. West Fifty-fourth street,
early yesterday morning, but gained
nothing of intrinsic value for severai
hours OF onerous toll.
There had been impressive exercises
last Tuesday afternoon and the stone was
laid by the Rev. DR.. Laughton Williams
the pastor, in the presence of large
assemblage. The copper box containing a
copy of the year book, church records,
current newspapers, and duplicate set
of plans of the proposed edifice We're
placed in a hole made In the center OF
the stone.
After the ceremony workment laid fou
courses of brick over the receptacle and
went home. When they returned in the
morning they found the bricks had been
removed. The thieves had pried off the
cover and taken away the package OF
documents. There was no coin, the near
est approach to it being the treasurer
report. 1t is the theory of the pastor that
the act of vandalism was perpetrated by
boys. The foreman thinks it was ac'
complished by someone familiar with
masonry, for the bricks had been re-
moved in a workmanlike manner.
The contents of, the box can all be
duplicated, and as soon as 1t is pro-
vided with new lid it will again be
committed to its resting place. The next
time it will be guarded.

CAPTAIN AND CREW FIGHT
CALAMITY TO SAVE SHIP
Fire Breaks Out in Schooner and for
More Than an Hou Men Aboard
Battle with the
Flames
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN PEDRO, Dec 29.--Tire broke out
in the galley room of the schooner James
Rolph, Capt. Olsen, yesterday morning
while the vessel was in Santa Barbara
on the way from Astoria to San Pedro
with a lumber cargo. Capt. Olsen and
the crew of eight men resolved them
s. YES into fire fighting squad and for
over an hour fought the flames with
what small means they had at their COM
mand.
An explosion was heard in the cooks
quarters about 10 o'clock while the vessel
was sailing along at a ten-knot clip, and
almost instantly flames and smoke were
seen belching forth The crew, led by
the captain, hastened forward to the
donkey room to secure the hose, which
could be operated from the force pump
The hose was unobtainable, as the donkey
room was also in flames, and the men
were compelled to resort to buckets, cans
or anything to mold water which could
be thrown on the fire.
Capt Olsen hewed hole in the gall-y
roof and through the aperture made
dashed bucket after bucket of water. For
nearly an hour the flames wero fought
vigorously and finally extinguished. The
side of one lifeboat was burned Inc
forecastle, donkey room and the Japanese
cooks quarters were destroyed. The
cook lost all his personal property ana
the sailors lost some of their possessions.
The vessel is owned by Hind, Rolph &
Co. and has been in the coasting lumber
trade since 1899

FINDS BRANDY 150 YEARS
OLD; DOESN'T TASTE 1T
Descendant of Buyer at Civil War Fair
Discovers Bottle in RansackIng
Garret-To Keep 1t as
Heirloom

NEW YORK, Dec. 29-Subtle scents
suggesting the sunlit vineyards OF
France, from which it is supposed to
have come $50 years ago, hung in
lingering affection about the neck of a
bottle of brandy, which was yesterday
brought to light by r. w. Dryden, who
had been ransacking the garret of his
ancestors The bottle was found in q
box of selected pine which had been put
together with screws and elaborately
sealed.
The receptacle bore the stencil marks
on it's lid Lewis M. Cowles, ESQ.,, Balti-
more, Nd, 1757." When the cover was
removed the bottle, which holds about
quart, was found wrapped in news
papers bearing the date of February
6, 1864 There was an old fashioned label
with a red border on 1t, on which it was
set forth that the contents were "Old
French brandy of 1857 Presented to the
sanitary fair by II. j. de Pyster.'
The bottle had been purchased by a.
relative of Mr.. Dryden at the fair, which
was organized to raise funds for soldiers
wounded in the civil war. The cork was
surmounted by a cockade of pink rib
bon, and around the neck was a band OF
green fringe, which. low descending.
swept the bottles aged breast.
Mr. Dryden took the box to the cafe
of Emil Struever, at SIG Broadway,
where it was placed in the window for
exhibition. Several offers have been
made for the bottle, but the highest, $50.
has been refused, the owner declaring
that he would not think of disposing
of such an heirloom.
Brandy bearing the date of century
ago is offered on menus in this city, and
London merchants quote it. Mr.. Dryden
has not yet decided whether he will sam
pie the brandy. The bottle was locked
in safe last night.
