Baggage Thieves Caught at Last.

Richmond, Va, July 3.-After hav.
been confined in the Richmond CITY
jail for several months on charge
OF grand larceny, Louis Rogers, the
alleged baggage thief, will be given
q trial in the hustings court on July
29. The companions of Rogers,
Stein, alias Allen, and his wife, will
not be tried in this city as there is no
evidence to show that they have
broken a law in Richmond. These
two will be taken to Orange, where
they are charged with having perpe.
trated a crime. Stein and his wife
have been kept in the Richmond Jail
since they we're brought here from
New York, because there is no ade.
quate Jail in Orange. 1t was feared
that they would make their escape,
as one of their companions did in
New York.
Rogers and Stein are members of
a gang which is said to be the worst
OF its kind in the world. The usual
method OF procedure is to substitute
baggage checks and obtain possession
OF trunks and other baggage contain
ing valuables. The operations of the
gang have been carried on all over
the United States. When the case
comes up for trial, about twenty-five
indictments from various States and
cities will be read. AS soon as the
Virginia trial is over, if the people
have not been convicted here, they
will be sent to the other States in
order and subjected to a new trial.
The men and women are wanted in
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Tennessee
for operations in Knoxville, Phila-
delphia, Atlantic City and many
other cities.

Fined 500 Tor No. :. Striking. !.

New York, July 4.-The action of
q carpenters union in Newark in
fining fifteen of its members 800
each because they refused to 90 ON
strike is likely to be taken up in the
courts unless the men who are under
the ban get justice from the Ma
tlonal brotherhood of Carpenters, to
which body they have appealed.
Inc men are at present out of
work. When the strike was de-
clared some time ago they refused to
go out. 1t was subsequently settled
and the fifteen we're summoned TO
appear before the district council in
Newark and explain why they had
refused to strike. They disregarded
the summons and the fines were i'm.
posed.
A few days ago the firm by whom
the men were employed, v. J. He'd
den d Sons Co., discharged them
because the other union men had re-
fused TO work with them unless the
fines were paid. The firm had no
other alternative, as it had contracts
that had to be finished and could not
get enough men at once if they re-
tanned the fifteen. The aggrieyed
men then made the appeal to the
national body and declared that if
they are not treated fairly they will
appeal to the courts for redress.

Banker sklps with Big Roll.

New York, July 3.--"Lookout for a
man with suit case full of money" is
the message sent to every detective
bureau in America to-day following
the discovery of the disappearance of
Chester B. Runyan and $97, 1877 from
the Windsor Trust Co. Runyan
was. paying teller and before leaving
the office last Saturday he carried a
suit case with him and neither have
been seen since. Runyan was an ex-
emplary man and had been a trusted
employee for three years. The direc.
tors of the company have made up
the deficit.

"Beiore Richmond" !"

The recent Confederate reunion
held at Richmond finds its climax in
the unveiling of magnificent monu.
hent to Jefferson Davis, the first
President of the Confederacy. There
was large assembly of the veterans
drawn to Richmond in part by its
intim to connection with the Civil
war-more than thousand battles
having been fought within the limits
of Virginia-and partly by the fact
that statues were to be unveiled to
General Stewart and Mr.. Davis. The
unveiling of the Davis monument
was preceded by parade in which
the Governor of the State, the pron,i-
nent Confederate officers aud surviv-
ors of the var participated. Speeches
were delivered by Governor S wanson n
of Virginia, Ex-Governor Evans OF
Georgia, Senator Carmack of Ten
nessee, and representatives of the
Daughters of the Confederaoy and
representatives of other bodies which
had participated in the building of
the monument. The speeches
breathed loyalty to fallen comrades,
to the ideas for which they fought
and to the union, of which all sections
are now q part.
1t is an interesting evidence of the
passing of the prejudices of war that
there is now recognition throughout
the union of the conscientiousness OF
fidelity to conviction, that charac-
terized the soldiers that fought on
both sides. During the war and just
afterwards it was difficult for either
side to recognize the principles that
actuated the other side. There was
lack of charity both North and
South in dealing with the subjects
connected with the war. Now that
they are able to view the subject from
distance, the people recognize that
the generation of forty years ago
settled q question left as a legacy
from earlier days and removed the
one root of bitterness which defiled a
peaceful settlement.
The union is stronger, not weaker,
for the passage at arms. The sacri-
fees endured by men and women on

both sides are sad, but sacred
heritage, and the devotion of the
people of the South is not to be
questioned because they defend the
purity of their motives and quote au.
thority in support of the position
which they took on the subject of
secession The nation has no more
loyal defenders than are to be found
in the South, as the Spanish war
showed, and the monuments reared
to the Confederate dead, while prov
ing the warmth of Southern affection
and the lasting loyalty of Southern
love, are no menace to the nations
peace and prosperity. The greatest
element in the victory of the North is
that it has converted opponents into
friends, and each side can find a
pride in rejoicing in the worthiness
OF the foe which it met upon the bat
eld.--Bryan's Commoner.

WALHALLA, 3. Ca
Shop Run on Bible Lines.

There is drug store in Chicago
thatis being successfully conducted
by man who is guided in all things
by the question, aWhat would Jesus
do pin other words, on the princi-
pies set forth by the Rev. Charles
NJ. Sheldon, of Topeka, Kan, in his
book, "In His Steps or, What
Would Jesus Do?" The owner is
Oliver j. Freeman, and the store is
at 1927 Sheffield avenue. At first
he,found the road rough, but to-day
he has passed the experimental stage
and has paying business.
Cigars and tobacco cannot be pur-
chased in Mr. Freeman's store at any
price. They are not in the stock.
Nothing can be purchased on the
Sabbath except prescriptions that
are absolutely necessary. Not even
cough drop or stick of gum is
sold on the Sabbath and telephone
service is not permitted on that day,
except to call physicians in urgent
cases..
In each of the display windows a
sign is strung each Sunday, which
reads "Remember the Sabbath Day
to Keep it Holy. Nothing but
necessary articles sold on Sunday"

And that rule is rigidly enforced by
Mr.. Freeman.
Mr.. Freeman has followed this
principle for years and he is en-
phatic in the declaration that it pays.
Although his store is almost in the
extreme northern part of the CITY, he
enjoys prosperous business.
His prices are probably higher
than those of any of the other out
lying drug stores in the down town
district. Ten clerks are kept busy
week days.
EYES, the application of Christian
ideas to ones business is good
thing" said Mr.. Freeman. "Chris.
tianity is good thing at all times
and in all places, business included.
1t is good thing for nature, and it
is q good thing for the citizens.

ness, my family and all my affairs,

bath 20 all business except the filing

prescriptions. 1 do not sell tobacco
in any form.
81 must confess that found it
difficult to bring my ideas into prac.
tical use at first. l have lost many
customers because I have steadily
refused to be swayed.
"However, the gain over the
losses was such that the business
slowly grew, until ten clerks are
kept busy. Some customers in
sisted on being served with cigars
and left angrily on learning that 1
kept no tobacco on sale. Others in
sisted on buying unnecessary articles
on the Sabbath, but / stuck steadily
to my resolutions.

niless, and almost friendless. I was
married and my brother lent me
$4,000, and with that capital 1
started in business where am now

fined to this particular locality all
these years. Almost all my patron
age comes from regular customers,

CRUDE AUDIT OF PUBLIC ACCOUNTS.
Commissioner Mitchell Asks Board of Esti-

John P. Mitchell. Commissioner Of Accounts
asked the Board Of Estimate yesterday for a
larger appropriation for his work. He submit
ted a report of an investigation of his office
made by the bureau Of municipal research. as
a result OF which Commissioner Mitchell has
reorganized his force.
1t is shown in the report that less than one
third Of the city departments audited IN
any one year. Some never have been audited.
Speaking of the Finance Department. the re-
port says the examination at present made
is not in any sense an audit. OF the method
pursued in the office Of the commissioners Of
accounts the report says that no attempt was
made to determine whether the city actually re-
ceived the revenue 1t should have received from
the sources indicated. OF the method of book
keeping in the bureau of licenses the report
says:
''If a plan had been studiously devised to de-
feat thorough audit IT could not have been
more effective than the form Of accounting at
present used in the bureau OF licenses"
The report states that 10 degree the same
conditions prevail in the Department Of Water
Gas and Electricity. The report suggested com
plete reorganization OF the office Of Commits
sioner OF Accounts. with larger and more eff
cient force OF employees. so as to provide for a
