ITO BE
THIEVES AT THE OPERA.
Immediately Dressed and Attended by
Beautiful Women.

Beautiful Women.
Strange as it may SEEM" said one
| Of Chief O'Brien's new detectives, as he
lounged against a pillar in front of the
Metropolitan opera house, talking TO
a New York Herald man. New York
thieves of the higher class have a weak
ness for grand opera, both for business
and pleasure. You doubtless remember
when Inspector Mclaughlin walked
down the aisle two years ago and
tapped a woman on the shoulder. She
was a notorious thief and she followed
him without a word. Since then sew
eral thieves have been arrested in the
lobby and around the entrance and sew
eral have even got past us and have
sat out the performance. Look at this.
1t is a sample of the work done by the
| opera house thieves"
The detective pulled from his pocket
a crumpled advertisement. 1t was as
follows:
IF blue kersey overcoat taken from
dress circle of Metropolitan opera house
Monday night is returned, $25 will be
paid and no questions asked"
81 was one Of the men detailed here
on the opening night" continued the
detective. Personally, I hustled sew
eral thieves away; but as there was no
charge against them beyond their gen.
eral bad character they could not be
arrested.
After the opera was over, I stood
just at the door to watch the crowd
coming out. What was my surprise to
see one Of the best-known thieves in
New York come out with q beautifully
dressed woman on his arm. She wore
a long pink and ermine opera cloak and
big diamonds and his crush hat was
simply immense. He looked at me
coolly, handed the woman into . EAR
riage and whirled away.
II saw him next day In Sixth avenue
and called to him. What do you want?'
he inquired. There is nothing against
me. Hasn't q man q right to enjoy
himself?' I warned him against enjoy
ing himself around the Metropolitan
opera house, and let him 20. There are

BISHOP or LONDON PREAcHEs
FROM TRINITY PULPIT IN
NEW YORK.
Great Throne Present--Pierpont Mer.
gan and Other NotabIes Are Warn
ed That Life is a Stewardship, Not
An Ownership.


New York, Sept. 27.-From the pull.
pit of historic Trinity church in the
heart Of the country's great financial
district. Rt. Rev. Arthur Foley Win
nington Ingram. bishop OF London, at
noon Thursday delivered the message:
Life 10 q stewardship. not an owner
A greater throng perhaps never
sought admission to the edifice, and
when all who could be accommodated
were within. hundreds fingered out
side to catch q glimpse OF the noted
divine.
Notable Mon Stand In Crowd.
No seats were reserved and pew
holders Of Trinity parish had to run
their chances with the others.
Notable laymen and men prominent
In Wall street had to stand on the
edge Of the crowd. ]. Pierpont Nor
gan stood at the end Of an aisle
throughout the opening services.
Then . younger man gave him his
seat. The audience included many
women. Probably there were hundred
OF the clersy standing and the rest
Of the men seemed to have come from
the banks. law offlces and brokerage
houses In the nsighborhood.
Il was surely not such an audience
az the bishop was accustomed TO dur
Ing the nine years Of his settlement
work In the East End OF London, as
the head OF the Oxford House, though
his sermons now are for the most part
preached from the pulpit of st. Paul's
cathedral.
Hits at the Financisrs.
But the bishop Of London IL evident
ly not man who looks over his audi
encs first and picks his words &C.
cordingly. To-day he said:
Il know not to whom I an preach.
ing. l shall be IS frank here a. I am
In London. No man VINO is really
Christian would soil his Christian
hands with one dollar. the possession
Of which he could not justify in the
sight Of heaven"
The bishop presented the figure of
an athletic man. tall and angular. with
a deep resonant voice. He spoke slow.
ly and distinctly and frequently EN-.
phasized his remarks with gestures.
His text was from the second verse of
the sixteenth chapter Of the Gospel &C.
cording to st. Luke:
Render the account of thy stew.
ardship; for thou canst be no longer
steward"
Life But Stewardship.
The one thing" he said, ''the one
sentence which above all others
would say to you, sentence as yet
unearned In London and New York
and which, II adopted. would cleanse
the life on both, sides of the Atlantic.
is-life is stewardship and not an
ownership.
"All the evils In the world are due
to the neglect Of the Christian prin.
ciple that we are here only as Gus.
todians OF what we have, be II wealth
or anything else. founded upon the
fact that Christ died to redeem man
and again place him In fair stand
ing. II city officials and government
servants would live up to these two
thoughts. there would be no boodling.
no miscarriage OF justice and no brok-
en- hearts,"
The bishop left at night for Wash.
ington. where he will call upon the
president.
