Minister Wrote Feast Of 5aal" Notes.
A Halloween entertainment given
by the ladies of the Episcopal church
at Hollidaysburg, Pa, at which dane
ing was the principal diversion, has
provoked the greatest sensation in

posed entertainment and styling it
feast of Baal."

Methodist Episcopal church, turned
over the letter received by him to the
postoffice authorities, and an investi-
cation instituted by the postal inspec-
tors is in progress.
Rev. R. Alan Russell, the Episcopal
rector, said: 1.-The feast of Baal re-
fers to the most loathsome immortality
of ancient days, and the anonymous
scribbler deserves condign punish
ment for criminal misuse of the Unit
ed States mails"
The letters were traced to Dun
cansville, and Rev. Isaac Krider, pas
tor of the Lutheran church of that
town, confessed that he was the au-
thor, and that he had persuaded Miss
Helen Keller, the assistant postmis-
tress, to omit the postmark from the
envelopes so as to conceal his iden-
tity. Rev. Mr.. Krider made public a
written retraction and apology. The
rector and vestrymen of the church
attacked insist that other prominent
people are implicated in the offense
as the investigation of the inspectors
will deYelOp.

SEEKING BURGLARS WHO
CHLOROFORM VICTIMS.
Dozen Flat jewellers in New
York DrupQed.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-Forty detec-
tives in Harlem have been set to catch
a burglar wha has been chloroforming
fiat jewellers in their sleep and robbing
them of money and jewelry.
Within the last two weeks a dozen
fiat dwellers neal Lenox avenue and
1l9th street have suffered from the
visits of a cunning and soft-footed
thief. These robberies were not made
public by the police, but they are COM
mon talk in the neighborhood.
Ten people were chloroformed early
last Monday morning in an apartment
house, 119 West 125th street. They
are the families Of Charles A. Rick
seeker. a druggist. and Douglass
Tomkins, head salesman for a Maiden
Lane Jewlery firm. The Rickseckers
and the Tomkinses are positive that
they were ehloroformed and doctors
who attended their children last Mon
day agree with them, although the
doctors can't understand how the
burglar was able to administer the
drug without awakening the victims.
