CHICAGO, Feb. 5.--Who Is to watch
the policemen? Also who is to pro-
tect police stations from thieves?
These are perfectly serious ques-
tions Chicagoans face today. The
first one was partly answered by the
action Of thirty citizens OF the nortl-
west side who took out badges as vol
unteer policemen to patrol the streets
of that district after O'clock every
night. The second one Is more diff
ficult. On the heels OF tho riot pre-
cipitated by several drunken police
men at dance that they tried to
break UP a few nights ago, story
came to light today of how another
hoistering minion Of the law shot up
a saloon.
Policeman James Mullen was fined
$40 and costs by Judge Newcomer
when he admitted entering saloon
with friend and demonstrating his
good aim by few shots at the fix
lures. Charges have also been filed
against Mullen before the civil ser.

street nearby is well lighted and THAI
SO far no witness has been found who

MINISTER BLAMES BASEBALL.
Says Interest in Worlds Series is
Greater Than in Church Work.

More interest is taken in the worlds
series baseball struggle than in the
spiritual welfare of the youth of the
nation, in the opinion of Rev. (. s.
Lewis, who told members of the Board
of Sunday-Schools of the Baltimore
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church in Washington yesterday that a
reformation was imperative.
'0ur losses from the Sunday-schools
are deplorable, said DR.. Lewis. "The
failure to hold the boys and girls in the
church is the darkest cloud On our
horizon. There appears to be more in
terest in the worlds series baseball
games than in the spiritual welfare Of
the boys and girls.
One third, or 5000, 600, of the chill
dren of the country today were outside
the Sunday school, speakers asserted.

tend classes were later lost to the

Nearly 1000 People Visit Benesch's s
StOres-Big Custom Requires
Extra Clerks Called.

Never before at any spring or fall
opening and display Ct goods at the
"Great Stores of Isaac Benesch &

ed the music by Professor Schreyer's
orchestra and received souvenirs.
Many sales were made during the
day and evening, and it is estimated
that Yesterdays business amounted
to $4,000, the largest ever in one
day. So great was the demand that
three extra clerks had t. be sent here
from Baltimore, besides the full force
of the local clerks pressed into SER
vice.
Members of the firm who came here
from Baltimore to attend the open
ing were Mr.. William VI. Benesch
land Mrs. Benesch); Mr.. Jerome

the firm, was congratulated upon the
good showing, and the efficient corps

Indeed, too much in praise cannot
be said Of the polite, obliging and
courteous clerks at Benesch's, who
are always untiring in their efforts
to please. The opening yesterday
broke all records for attendance and
sales, and was the most encouraging.
Useful souvenirs were given to all

A New Book by Prof. w. O. Stevens
Second of Series on Life Of MILDLY
al Naval Academy.

Following up his most interesting
and entertaining story of "Pewee,
Clinton Plebe," published last year,
Prof. William o. Stevens, of the Ma
val Academy, has recently published
the second of the series of books on
life at the service school here, en-
titled "Messmates" or Midshipman
"Pewee" Clinton's First Cruise.

ture. 1t relates the incidents of a
first European cruise of "Pewee"
ellington, Youngster, on his visit with
his messmates TO Englsnd, France
and Germany, whtr re the hero aud his
messmstes get into trouble thought
lessly, but manage TO get out again.
To enliven things there is a story
of boat race, thrilling account of
French duel, several international
fist fights, and few other stirring
scenes and incidents. The book
throughout is written in the fasci-
mating style of Professor Stevens
that holds the attention of the reader
throughout 1t is especially inter
esting to Annapolitans and the Naval
Academy This book is more pre-
tentious in style and subject matter
than the one published last year, and
is better adapted to grownup folk,
last years book having been more
of boys story.

for SIPS net; postpaid, Sl.37.. 1t is
q splendid story written by an author
who has "the pen of a ready writer =
