EARLY BIRDS GET
THEIR GARMENTS

Franks of a couple Of whirlwind
burglars caused a sleuthing expedi-
ton by the police today. The two,
who work with double geared
speed swooped down on a heap of
earthly effects of Henry Nicholson
and A. Thompson at the Akley no.
tel early this morning and were
gone before the startled dodgers
had time to think.
In fact, about the first think
Nicholson and Thompson had COM
ing was to wonder how they would
dress for breakfast. Sheath gowns
made from bed sheets might have
worked admirably had their forms
come up to requirements for that
sort of garb, but they finally raked
together enough castOff clothing to
effect a presentable appearance
and beat it to the police station
to find solace in their hour of woo.
: Police making an investigation
learned that the two room thieves
took the clothes into an alley
about block away and there
searched them thoroughly for

heavy blow to the Detroit team,

BIG
STICK NEEDED

Immediately after drinking one
glass of beer with a strange wom-
an In the Pioneer lodging house,
corner Front avenue and Howard
street, Edward Fenska became un.
conscious. He awakened from his
stupor early this morning to find
that a watch, presented to him by
his mother last Christmas, and $27
In cash had been stolen. The
woman was gone.
Fenska, who is country youth,
told the police that he met the
woman on the street and that she
invited him to her room to have
a drink. Fenska explained that he
was not used to drinking. The
young fellow was drugged for the
purpose of robbery, and police are
searching for the woman today.
Fenska is stopping in room so of
the G. N. hotel.

MEETING Will LONG
BE REMEMBERED
Womans Missionary Society of
Holston Conference Adjourned
on Wednesday.

The Home Mission Society, which
adjourned on Wednesday,, was n
remarkable gathering of women from
different sections of the State, Tenn
essee and West Vireiuia, represent
ing the lest there is i'm culture, DOM
estic and religious life, of the Hol-
ston conference. Many delegates,
and number of visitors present. The
addresses, songs, prayers and sermons
delivered, will be remembered with
pleasure and profit for days and years
to come.
The conference was presided over
by Mrs. Alice Chapman, of Tenn. one
of the best known women of the
Methodist Church. She knows her
business, is systematic, courteous and
popular-a woman of large brain,
heart and conservation.
Comparisons are odious, but IL not
/ so it would be difficult 10 pick out
the best address, the sweetest song
or the most popular among such an
array and collection of fine things,
all of which were first i'm their class,
and made fine impressions. Even the
reports read, made up largely of
statistics, which if always truthful
are generally tiresome, were listened
TO with fixed attention.
The devotional exercises and Bible
readings were generally, impressive.
Not soon will the readings given
Mrs. Cobb, of Bramwell, or the
simple devout talks OF Miss Stuart
and Others be forgotten. The address
on the orphanage by Mrs. Wiley, Mrs.
Price and Miss Womack, the Deaco-
ness, weIe. specially instructive and
inspiring. i
The pleasure and interest of the
meetings promised in the beginning
TO be seriously interfered with by the
ladies hats obstructing the view
from all quarters of the Church. The
men and few-very few-ladies
protested, and Mrs. Chapman issued
an edict in the form of IA mild but
firm request, that the ladies' remove
their hats, and ut future meetings
come without them. The hats dis
appeared. Mrs Chapman said :" Ladies
you have no idea how much better
you look without your hats. How
far this statement influenced tho
willingness with which the hats dis
appeared is matter of con lecture.

HENRY Il. ROGERS
DIES SUDDENLY
Vice-PreSident of Standard Oil
Company, and Promoter of the
Virginian Railway.

The papers on yesterday announced
the sudden death from apoplexy at
hiSshome in New York Wednesday
morning of Henry III. Rogers.
The county at large. and Virginia
in particular, will receive this sad
news with regret. His death means
more to this sta te than perhaps TO
any other state in the union. He
was 80 years old, and one of the nat
ions most useful and progressive
business men.
He had not been we'll for several
months, and his death was the price
he paid for the great and wonderful
amount of work he has accom-
plished. He began life as newsboy,
and amassed fortune of about $75,
600, 600. His last great woIk was the
completion of the Virginian Railway
443 miles at cost of over $40, 600, 600.
