Outwittinu a Bushranqer.

In Mr.. George E. Bozall's STORY Of
the Australian Bushrangers" the fol
lowing little episode is related: A man
named Michael, who went to an inn
for food, found the place in the hands
Of the bushrangers. Fourteen guests
were already disarmed and were being
searched in order. Michael was com
PEELED to take his place in line. The
bushrangers handed him a pannikin Of
tea before they took his money. Know
ing what was coming, he held the pan
nikin as if the tea were too hot to
drink, and when the leader OF the
h~ighwaymen was looking away drop
ped his roll of bank notes into ii. He
stood quite quiet, and when the bush
rangers came to feel his pockets there
we're only a few shillings in them.
The robbers appeared satisfied and al
lowed him to go. He carried his pan
nikin out with him, took his money
and put it in his pocket without being
observed. Then he mounted his horse.
rode to the nearest police station and
gave information.

Then Take a Long Think and Mind
Your Own Business.
The other day a nan travelling on a
shore line train noticed, protruding
from an overhead rack, a dress suit
case which he recognized as belonging
to a friend. He knew that his friend
always got off at the station which
they had just passed, and as he was
not in the seat the conclusion was in
evitable that he had jumped of the
train and forgotten 1t.
The nan called the conductor and
explained the case to him. After some
discussion and a mild protest on the
part Of the conductor that 1t wasn't a
part of his duty, the suit case was put
off at the next station, with instruc-
tons to SEND 1t back on the first train
the other way.
The man, feeling that he had done
m able and friendly act, settled down
for the rest Of his journey.
But not for long. The face of his
friend, who had been In the smoker
and who happened on that particular
afternoon to be going on to New Lon
don to attend a dinner p~arty-loomed
before him.
The moral Of this is, Of course, quite
evident.
Be sure you're right and then mind
your own business.-Life.

CARDS IN CHURCH.
They Were Not Uncommon In the OLD
Days In England.

They Were Not Uncommon In the Old
Days In England.
Frequent cases of card playing oc-
CURED in churches in Olden days in the
high or CurtainCd family pews that
were to be found in several parts of
England.
A case of card playing was men
toned by the poet Crabbe as having
occurred in one of those pews in Trow-
bridge parish church. Mr.. Beresford
Hope stated that card playing was not
uncommon in churches having cur-
tanned pews, where those occupying
them were screened from the Observa-
ton of the rest of the congregation.
and that one of the Georges is credit
ed with taking part at a game of whist
in the church he attended.
The church at Little Stanmore, in
MiddlCSeX, has a luxurious room pew
which is approached by a special door
and staircase.
The old st. Paul's cathedral before
the great fire of London was used by
business men as a sort of exchange.
The Dortico was let out to hucksters,
and in those days gambling and cards
are both said to have been INDUCED
in without let or hindrance within the
Observation-Disclosures Standard.

BEGINS SUNSET
BEGINNING OF YEAR 1868 OF
HEBRAIC CALENDER - FES-
TIVAL OBSERVED WIDELY
OVER WORLD BY ALL JEWS.

New York, Sept. 25.-The setting
Of the sun this evening ushers in the
celebration of ROsh Hashanah, or
the Festival of the New Year. This
Is the beginning of the year 1868 OF
the Hebraic calender. which is ira
ditionally supposed to count from
the creation of the world. The festi
val is observed by the reformed and
orthodox alike, except that the for
mer observe one and the latter two
days It is a season of rejoicing
and many families become reunited
during its celebration.
While New Years day services are
of solemn character. as are the 10
days that follow. the most solemn
day IF the year is Yom Kippur. or
the Day of Annointment, which will
come as a climax to the 10 days OF
penitence.
Elaborate preparations for the
New Year and other holiday services
have been made by the Jewish con-
gregations throughout the metropo-
lis. In addition to the regularly es-
tablished congregations worship
ping all the year round in places OF
worship owned by them or regularly
| rented by them. many improvised
svnagogues are needed for the New
Year services because Of the great
number of Jews. on the lower East
side especially, who do not belong tc
any established congregation, but
who desire to take part in the cele-
bration OF the festival. Therefore
every available hall or place OF pub
lie meeting on the East side, many

fitted UP as temporary places o.
worship.

MURDER IN THE SECOND DE-
GREE.
Special to Evening Teller.

Special to Evening Teller.
Grangeville, Idaho, Sept 90
Joseph Sorrow was this morning
found guilty Of murder in the Sec
ond degree, the jury having reach
ed verdict at 5 o'clock.
Sorrow was charged with the MUIR
der Of Police Officer Henry Williams
and has been on trial for the past
several days. The case was submit.
ted to the jury yesterday and many
ballots were cast during the night.
but no decision was reached until
o'clock this morning when the Sec
ond degree murder verdict was
agreed upon.
When brought into court this
morning to hear the verdict Sorrow
showed little interest in the proceed
irgs and has declined to make a
statement since being returned to his
cell.
The evidence introduced by the
state was of such character as
would suggest a first degree murder.
One of the witnesses who was on the
stand in behalf of the state told If
the conversation between Williams
and Sorrow proceeding the shooting
and after Sorrow had attempted 10
dlsarm the officer told of the plead
ings of the policeman for his life.
| Sorrow was a blacksmith at
Grangeville and was drinking the
night of the shooting. The testi-
mony showed that he purchased tho
revolver the afternoon before the
trouble and had disarmed the day Of
fcer during the early evening. The
trouble with Williams was over i'm
pounded stock, and after some words
Sorrow Is said to have whipped out
his revolver and commanded Will

MOVE TO PRESS
STREET PAVING
FIRST RESOLUTIONS NAY PASS
COUNCIL TONIGHT TEMPER
ANCE QUESTION WILL NOT BE
ALLOWED TO RETARD IT.

The question of plans and specif-
cations for the bitulithic street pave
ment will be submitted to the city
council for consideration tonight
and unless an effort Is made to block
proceedings IT is believed little delay
in reaching an agreement will be
experienced. 1t is stated today that
but few and only immaterial changes
from the former plans and specitica-
tions will be required, and it is be-
lieved the first resolution may be
passed tonight.
Under the most favorable condi-
lions, 1t is stated. the council Will
not be prepared to open bids for the
pavement within 40 days, and the
rumor of several months ago to the
effect the pavement should be laid
lupon the shelf until the saloon
question has been disposed OF is
again threatening further delay.
1t is the purpose of some members
O. the council to make an open night
for the pavement and use every effort
TO hasten the proceedings wherever
possible. The visiting business men
Iron other cities have openly stated
the first effort toward advertising
and promoting the interests OF Lew
Iiston should be the pavement OF the
streets, and Lewiston business mel
vho have visited outside cities find
payed strets tho greatest advertise
ment for town. So
| Business men generally are unfa
vorable to allowing the Temperance
question to be tied up with the mat
I ter of street Improvement, as it 4
generally believed such An improve
! ment IL necessary to the effort nov
being made to bring new people t
the city. The argument Is advances
that Lewiston is not alone in tn
:, consideration OF the liquor question
as every city of both Idaho ant
Washington will be called upon t
face the same issue at the Novembe
election. and at no other point Is tn
municipal Improvement delayed be
cause of the temperance agitation.
