FOUR GAMSTERS
 CAUGHT IN THE ACT
SnugIy Tucked Away in HaIIroom, They Thought to EIude Eye
 of the Law.

Snugly tucked away in the Eagle hotel in a room at the end of hall, four white men were playing game of poker early yesterday morning, chuckling over the cards with the consolation that they could never be found.
 They packed their chips on top of each other in solitary contentment. Rubber chips they were, calculated to make no noise.
 Suddenly there appeared at the transom the smiling face of Policeman Parker. After he had taken in the whole scene he backed down and allowed Officer Ma ton the privilege of standing on his shoul- ders. Then they knocked on the door. The fellows, two of whom have been arrested for Sunday gaming before, were unable to give any excuse. but silently made bond and went their way until Mon day.

At the Biiou.

Miss Vivian Prescott and Walter Nelson will have the leading parts in Charles E. Blaney's western drama, Wild Nell, a Child of the Regiment" which will be at the Biou theatre all this week, com mencing with the performance tonight.
 The company will give a performance every evening during the week, and there will be matlnees Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday afternoons.
 The drama Is said to contain a number of thrilling climaxes, and some of the most realistic scenes of western life ever shown on the stage. Not only is there a flavor of the army life in the west in the early days, but the Indians and cowboys play a prominet part in the play. One of the cllmaxes is an attack on the fort by the Indians and a rescue by the cowboys when all the defenders had given up all hope of coming out alive, and had each promised to kill the women and children with the last bullet to prevent them from falling into the hands of the Indians
 The story is not without other thrilling incidents, a murder being one of the features and the hiding of the real mur- der to keep Little Major" from learning that her father was the murderer.

BUSY TIMES FOR
 SANITARY WORKERS
TOTAL NUMBER OF INSPECTIONS
 DURING PAST MONTH WAS 6844.
 THlRTY-oNE HOUSES FUMl- GATED BY THE DEPARTMENT.

March has been a month of hurry and scurry with the sanitary department of the city, and the inspectors have kept up almost as much dust with their cleaning campaign as the March wind itself.
 The garbage can ordinance has been rig idly enforced, while arrests have been numerous and convictions certain. One special feature that Inspector Burson is turning his attention to with the approach of summer is the installations of sinks and cess pools. Fifty-five have been put in by his order during the month, and he is hot after the agents of other houses. He intends to arrest the agents who do not comply with the law before the end of this week.
 Five points have been drained, and cit izens have been officially notified that if ponds are found on their premises ar rests will follow. Following are few items of the report of MT. Burson:

Three More Rehearsals.

Three more rehearsals will be held be- fore the convention, an extra one being called for next Tuesday night at the Cumberland Presbyterian church and u full attendance of all the members is requested by Professor Alsopp. At the same church a rehearsal will be held next Friday night, and the last will be at the First Methodist church next Sunday aft ernoon.
 The membership of this choir is made up of the best singers from the various church and Sunday school choirs in Bir- mingham, with as many singers as possf- ble from the Sunday schools of the entire Birmingham district. It was the plan of Professor Alsopp to have representa- tive of two members from each Sunday school in the district in this choir and as there are 2S0 Sunday schools in the dis trict this would make a total member ship of the choir of over 400. This has not been found practicable, however, owing to the distance some of the singers would have to come to attend rehearsals, but all those in Birmingham who could attend have volunteered and are working faithfully to have one of the best musical programmes ever given at a state con vention.
 Professor Alsopp is thorough musician and his ripe experience is producing an effective chorus which will be a surprise to many who will attend the convention. The entertainment committee is working hard to complete all arrangements for homes for the delegates, and Chairman Samuel D. Monroe of this committee hopes to make an even better record than was made at the convention two years ago. MT. Monroe said yesterday that few more homes are needed, and he desires that any one in the city who has not yet assisted in this matter re- port to him at 2O211a First avenue either to furnish accommodations or to sub scribe to the entertainment fund.

The rehearsals for the musical pro- gramme of the coming state Sunday school convention are producing satisfac- tory results and Prof. Stephen Alsopp, the choir director is very well pleased with the results obtained and the inter est shown. The rehearsals last Friday night at the Cumberland Presbyterian church and yesterday afternoon at the First Methodist church were well at. tended and the singers showed much im- provement in rendering. the classical music which is on the programme.
 The music for the convention promises to be real treat for music lovers, as the choir has undertaken to present some ot the best of Handers and Mendelssohn's compositions. Among these are the Hal leluiah Chorus" and Worthy Is the Lamb' from Handels Messiah, and All Men, All Things" by Mendelsshon. In addition dozen or more of the best hymns extant are being rehearsed and will be sung with fine effect by this great choir, which will number at least 150 per- SouS

THE BIBLE CONFERENCE IS DRAWING TO CLOSE

called the gospel of the Holy Ghost.
There are two kinds of enthusiasm:
The pre-Pentecostal, which is like
foam and froth; the post Pentecostal
which is sincere and lasting.
There must be fire in our religion.
Fire has great functions in this life.
Geologists inform us that fire has
shaped this world. 1t is equally
important to have fire in spiritual
life. Jesus baptized with spirit and
fire. We must >be fires, but God
kindles them. We need it because
the world doubts our faith. Let us
lift our experiences to the level Of
the Bible.
We need fire because of the
presence of sorrow in the world.
Some regard the world mad-house,
where men have found mania the
natural law. Men are eating the
fire of sin. They do not know the
danger, and like maniacs, they do
not seem to care. Linked to God
we are in league with omnipotence.
Dark days lie on ahead, but one
of life's tremendous certainties is in
the final victory of Christ over all
enemies.
Men may struggle for money, for
knowledge, for political fame and
fail, but the Christians shall wear
crowns. We need no other leader
than Jesus Christ. He is our Henry
of Navarro whose white plume
leads to victory.
DR.. Coyle gave a most vigorous
address, and added, by his earnest
ness, deep conviction of the presence
of the growing power in the confer
enCe.

the vine.
The life must be in positive com.
munion with Christ. Is this prac-
ticed? The strongest and sweetest
lives are so lived.
This life may be one of extraordi-
nary power and prayer. Christ
answers our smallest prayers if we
abide in him. Men have forgotten
to pray. Answer-to prayer is not
our normal experience. This is be-
cause we do not abide in Christ.
This life must be one of uncondi-
tional surrender. The branch can
not live alone. The individuality of
the branch becomes assimilated with
the vine. ii
This life must have it's expression
of life through the vine and reveal
the vine. The vine does not bear
foliage; only the branches. We are
placed here to serve Jesus Christ.
This is privilege and response
bility.

Last Evenings Session.

Owing to the temporary illness
of Rev. NJ. c. Martin, the song SER
vice was directed by Rev. A. L.
Hall-Quest. Scripture quotations
by the congregation, and prayer by
Rev. N. A. Gilchrist formed part of
the preparatory service.
The first speaker was DR.. Luc-
cock, who spoke on John 1:3, Where
God Dwells." Lack of space pre-
vents our giving fuller report In
substance Mr.. LuCcock said:
To the question: Where dwell
est Thou?" Jesus answers, Come
and see." And the seeker finds
Gods dwelling.
l. In the Heavens.-This is the
world of mystery, the fascinating
unknown abode of our dead loved
ones. Man seeks to fathom earthly
mysteries and to skirt the outer
most shores of knowledge.
But mans seeking has a limit.
This is true even in the realm of
astronomy. But in mans conscious
ness is the realization of some higher
sphere, the great mystery world.
The Bible says little about heaven,
but we know God is there. Heaven
is peculiarly delightful, because it is
a dwelling place of persons of con-
genial companionship.
2.-In the material world.-God is
everywhere. He is interested in all
phases of our lives. God is
weaving of our joys and sorrows, a
beautiful pattern for his glory.
Sin human hearts, He comes in
contact with people. The monastic
method is not natural. We must be
like Moses, close to the people.
When he separated himself from
his people by i'll temper he lost the
privilege of entering Canaan. Notice
the parallels. We should be like

who reminded men of Christ.

around the intimate indwelling of
of Christ in the human life.
1t was one of the most precious
hours of the conference.
The regular morning service was
presided over by Rev. Jameson of
Duluth.
The devotional exercises were
conducted by Rev. Fleming of Long
Prairie.
DR.. Doyle spoke on John 1875.
Always speak the truth especially at
the time of truth.
Jesus said, l am the vine; ye are
the branches. What suggested this
figure we may never know, but it
presented a wonderful truth, spoken
by being living in this life and
eternity.
The branch life, if it would
honor the vine, must live on the
vine entirely. Christ says, without
Me ye can do nothing. This life
may be abiding rest if linked to

perfect peace if his mind is staid
