REDPATH MALE QUARTErTE.
Will Appear at the Auditorium Friday
Night.

The Male quartette, called the Red
path Grand, which is to appear in the
Auditorium Friday evening, is prob
ably as good as any that ever appear
ed before a Topeka audience. Mr..
Cecil James, the tenor, is a young
artist who has quickly taken the fore
most rank among the oratorio tenors,
and probably has no superior outside
of the few who are selected to sing
the tenor parts in the two great grand
opera companies in New York. DR..
Ion Jackson, the second tenor, has for
number of years been the most
prominent so1oist in the great nu-
sical festivals Of the country and is
still in his prime.
Both Dr. Duff, the first bass, and
Mr. Frederick Martin, the second bass,
fill important engagements each year
as soloists at such great musical events
as the Worcester festival, the Handel
Hayden society Of Boston, the Mozart
club of Pittsburg, and as soloists in
the Philadelphia and the Chicago
Symphony orchestras.

PICKPOCKET IMMUNE.
Only Five Percent of These Crooks
Are Punished in Chicago.

Chicago, March 4-'Pickpockets
are virtually immune from the law.
They can prey on society at their
pleasure and in few cases can they
be punished
, This is the assertion of Judge Frank
Grove of the municipal court who for
several years as assistant states at
torney and later as police court judge
probably came in contact with more
"crooks' than any other judge in
Chicago.
In amplif1cation of a statement by
Captain O'Brien head of the detec-
tive bureau, to the effect that not five
percent of the pickpockets arrested
In Chicago are ever convicted, Judge
Grove declares it is not the fault of
the police or of the courts but of cir
cumstances over which neither has
control.
i'Pickpockets are the shrewdest
class of criminals" he says ''They
seldom if ever pick the pockets of a
Chicagoan. They always try to rob
the man from out of town. They
know that in doing this they are per-
fectly safe from prosecution.
sHThe crooks lawyers continue the
case from time to time. After a while
it goes over to the criminal court.
Here again it is continued. The COM
planning witness nine times out of ten
lives out of the city. The long delays
disgust him with legal procedure, and
he decides to drop the case.
"Only a vigilance committee can
drive the pickpockets out of the city
and that would be unlawful"

MEASURES QUAKE SHOCKS.
New Invention Will Be of Advantage
TO Building Interests.

Stanford University, Cal, March A.
Prof. w F. Durand, head of the de-
partment of mechanical engineering
has perfected an improvement to the
seismograph which, if successful will
prove invaluable to building interests
on the coast. While theIpresent instru-
ments record only direction and dura-
ton of the shock, Prof Durand's in
strument is calculated to show the
exact destructive force of a shock al
any point, thus being of especially
value In computing the required
strength of foundations for buildings
in earthquake districts.

Court sustains church Union.

Houston, Tex, March 4.-The state
supreme court has decided that the
Presbyterian church of the United
States has rightful title to all church
property formerly owned by the Cum
berland Presbyterian church, as a re-
suit of the union of the two bodies,
the latter having been absorbed. The
Cumberlands of Texas refused to turn
over considerable property and con-
tested the consolidation. The court
holds that the union was legally con-
summated.
