Great Power.

Washington-The effort of the present
congress to suppress the "white slave

Manacua, Nicaragua-Jose Santos
Zelaya has resigned from the presidency
of Nicaragua. Apparently there was no
other course for him to take. The reo'
ME were at last aroused. The guns CT

ships OF the United States lay in MIC
araguan ports.
Managua has been seething for days.
The spirit of revolt has spread ever TO
the gates of the palace. Zelaya sur
rounded himself with an armed guard.
Unchecked, the popuIace have mi rched
through the streets. They demanded the
end of the old and proclaimed the new
regime.
Who will take up the reins? No one
knows or cares.
It is sufficient that Zelaya as dictator
will be known no more.

SAID MONEY
WAS STOLEN
ON TROLLEY
Mrs. Let's Asks for Warrant
for Mans Alleged Theft
Last October.
WIDOW THE VICTIM
OF SEVERAL MEN
According to Her Story Mrs.
Let's Has Had Hard Time
Since Husband Died.

Mrs. Louisa Let's, of 225 Wash
ington street, appeared before Re-
corder Pickersgill this morning and
wanted him to issue a warrant for
"Gipsy SAM" who, she asserted, had
robbed her of $50.
When the recorder asked her
where the gypsy was and when he
had stolen the money, Mrs. Let's
said that she did not know where he
could be found now, as he had
robbed her on trolley car between
this city and New Brunswick last
October. She said that she had It
between the leaves OF a bank book
in her hand and that SAM" who
was also on the car, grabbed it and
escaped.
Remarking that 1t was strange
that he had heard nothing Of the
robbery before, the judge asked Mrs.
Let's why she had not reported it
soon. She said that her brother,
whom she told of the robbery at the
time, had declared he would Kick
the daylight out of the gipsy'' and
had seen him that night on New
Brunswick avenue flirting with
the money. She added that her
brother said to the fellow, II hear
you have been robbina my sister, !,
upon which, she said, sam ned.
The recorder told Mrs. Let's that
IL the nomad came back to town or
If she learned where he was he
would issue a warrant. Mrs. Let's
said that since her husband had died
leaving her with two small children.
several attempts had been made to
victlmize her. She asked If she
could secure warrant for man
named Maxwell whom she had loan
ed es6 to buy two pool tables with.
She said that the man had promised
to double her money, but instead
had sold the tables. The recorder
said he could not issue a warrant In
the case, upon which youth who
had accompanied Mrs. Let's to court
asked If she could not secure detec-
tives, providing she had the docu-
ments to prove that she had given
him the money. The recorder laugh
ed and said That is not what detec-
tives are for, young man.
The incident and the woman's
story caused no little amusement in
the court room and while the re-
corder did not doubt what she said.
he remarked the case had some pc
culiar phases. A gipsy last fall had
camp near the Smith street water
works and he was known as "Gipsy
Sam"

Heroes Of Hebrews IL:
1-40.-Now faith is assurance of
things hoped for, a conviction of
things not seen. For therein the
elders had witness borne to them.
BY faith we understand that the
worlds have been framed by the
word of God SO that what is seen
hath not been made out of things
which appear.
BY faith Abraham, being tried
gladly received the promises was
offering up his only begotten son,
even he to whom 1t was said, In Isaac
shall thy seed be called: accounting
that God is able to raise up, even
from the dead; from whence he did
also in a figure receive him back.
BY faith Isaac blessed Jacob and
Esau even concerning things to come.
BY faith Jacob, when he was dying,
blessed each of the sons of Joseph; !;
and wOrshiped, leaning upon the top
of his staff. BY faith Joseph, when
his end was nigh, made mention of
the departure of the children of
Israeli and gave commandment con-
cerning his bones. BY faith Moses,
when he was born, was hid three
months by his parents, because they
saw he was goodly child; and they
were not afraid OF the kings COM
mandment. BY faith Moses, when
he was grown up, refused to be called
the son OF Pharaoh's daughter;
choosing rather to share i'll treat
ment with the people of God, than
to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a
season: accounting the reproach of
Christ greater riches than the trea-
sures of Egypt; for he looked into
the recompense of reward BY faith
he forsook Egypt, not fearing the
wrath of the king; for he endured,
as seeing him who is invisible BY
