In the cry Court this morning a quintet

ed as Who Got the Pier
After the case was called Emil Wagner,
who conducts bread foundry and pie

how he had deposited his wares in many
boxes around town which we're later rihed
OF their contents. To support this tes-
timony John Jabbiebowski was call. d
but did not TESTIFY. Then Mrs. Mary
Price was called and told a realistic story
of how the plunderers gathered at her
house with their booty and how the
gnashing Of their teeth in the pie crus,
and their accusing each other o. being

reused her from her slumber and caused
her TO fear that the house would be

OF seeing Martin Wilson. one Of the de-
fondants. pry open box at Eighth and
Lombard streets and take the contents.
She also told of midnight revel where

At this juncture Judge Cochran dis
charged all the prisoners except Wilson,

About Philadelphia and
committed to Hospital

Through letters sent out by Grief OF
Police George BLACK, George SperrlC.
the wealthy retired hotelkeeper, who
mysteriously disappeared from this
city one week ago, has been located.
The well-known German American
left Wilmington on Wednesday last,
and from information received by the
local police was picked up the next
day while wandering aimlessly about
the city Of Philadelphia. He was COM
mitted 70 the Philadelphia Hospital at
Bloclkley. where he has been confined

Wilmington to place him in the care
OF his friends.

on last Wednesday he drew $50 from
the Equitable. Guarantee and Trust
Bank and was at that time seen in
the company Of a stranger. and ap-
peared to be in a jovial mood, a dis
position directly opposite TO what he

nThe squaw Man."

An event funusual interest TO the
play-going world is THE Squaw Man.
which win be at the Grand opera
House next Friday and Saturday, Feb
ruary % and %. opening Washington
Birthday matinee. The play is de-
scribed as a Western romance written
BY Edwin Milton Royie, and It gets its
title from the status which public opin-
ion on the Indian reservations or
among the civilized tribes gives TO a
white man who marries an Indian wo-
man. The Indian woman herself may
be white save for taint OF aeoriginal
blood which gives her "a head-right."
she may be cultured, the product in
her early womanhood Of an Eastern
university, and all the rest Of it, but
her husband is a "squaw man" just
the same. and not infrequently his
white nelghbor and full-blooded fellow
citizens are prone to look down on
him a bit. Mr. Royle has taken this
idea and from Il has constructed what.
from ali accounts, has proved one OF
the most intensely interesting plays OF
modern times.

One Wife Only.
First, I desire to state. as have re-
peatedly heretofore stated to the Sem
ate and to the country, that l am not
and never have been a polygamist /
have never had but one wife and she
lis my present wife.
There has been more or less prev
alent opinion that the doctrine Of poly
eamy was obligatory upon the mem-
bers of the Mormon Church, whereas,
| in truth and fact, no such obligatory
doctrine has ever existed
but. Mr.. President, it is claimed
that there have been new cases Of
polygamous marriages since the mani
festo and this presents altogether a
different question. ! have no hesita-
tion in declaring TO the Senate and TO
the American people that in my opin-
ion any man who has married a poly
eamous wife since the manifesto
should he prosecuted. and. If convicted,
should suffer the penalties Of the law,
and I care not who the man might be,
or what position he might hold In the
Ichurch, ne should receive the punish-
ment pronounced by the law against
his crime.
'The Mormon Church has stopped
plural marriages and no polygamous
lrelation assumed subsequent to 1890
lis with the permission, sanction or ap-
lproval Of the church, that Is final and
hxed. Every such violation Of the law
has the express condemnation Of the
lchurch.
TN closing. let me say under my OBJ
lligation as a Senator what have said
under oath before the committee. that
I have never taken any oath or obliga-
ltion. religious or otherwise. which con-
nIcts IN the slightest degree with ms

LOVE YOUR ENEMIES
Preacher Says That Jesus Christ
Showed That Il Could be Done.
colored Boy Detained.

The Rev. Clarence W. Bisphain, Of
Philadelphia. was the preacher at the
MONDAY Lenten service in st. An
drew's Church to-day. the text being,
Love Your Ereniies," from the words
Of Christ in the Sermon on the Mount.
He said that this has been called an
impossible commandment. and we have
been inclined to soften she words, but
Jesus makes His meaning 50 clear that
IL cannot be misunderstood. We are
to do good to them that persecute us.
Suppose they will not let US go 20 them
and sneer In our faces? We are to
carry them 10 the throne OF the
heavenly grace that they may receive
the same blessings as we ourselves.
Neither does it take the backbone out
Of a man to love his enemies. One
man in this country stands out as hav-
ing absolutely without malice. and
that was Abraham Lincoln. who, al
though tempted as no other man, said
with malice toward none; with
charity to all.'
"The question is asked; Is there no
limit to this loveT The Pharisees said
that you might forgive a man three
times. and then. II he transgressed
again. you could hate him. but Jesus
practically put no limit upon the num-
Der Of times you should forgive.
''Yet this does not mean that man
cannot protect his family; God loves
us. but He also rebukes US. We are
20 forgive our enemies and not count
their nisdeeds against them. for God
blots our transgressions. We are to
love our enemies In order. to become
children OF God"
The address at to-inorrow's meeting
win be made by the Rev. Hubert W.
Wells. rector Of st. Andrews Church.
