Withdraws From Putnam

A concern that has been making
contracts for the sale of furniture on
the installment plan in Putnam for
the past few weeks withdrew from the
field this week at the requ st of local
authorities. From time to time con-
Germs have come to the city under SIM
liar schemes and have failed To make
good ON their promises. Before any
complaint was made they would have
been cleaned up and departed When
IL was learned that the field was again
being covered in similar way an in
vestigation was started. 1t WAS learn
field was Incorporated under The laws
of Connecticut, had a principal place
of business in the state and was a reli.
able concern, but some of their agents
had made wild statements as TO what
they would do.
The Feature of the contracts made
was systematic giving of presents
and ii was this feature that has been
objected TO by some of the local mer-
chants. The collector arrived in the
city Tuesday and he was ordered TO
make no further collections. He at
once communicated with his house
and representatives with their attor-
ney arrived in the city Wednesday af-
ternoon for conference. The result
of that conference was that the concern
decided to withdraw from this field
They will provide however so that
what their customers have paid in
may be taken up in merchandise as
they were anxious to show their good
faith.

UNDESIRABLES IN CHURCH.
Richmond Pastor Expresses Frank
Opinion.

That the dishonest politician and
other eviIaoers who have entrenched
themselves behind the church, shoulc
not be allowed to hold membership
in the church, but that there should be
:. general housekeeping to purge Ii
of all such people, was the deciara-
ton of the Rev. W. c. James, d. d.,
Sunday night at Grove Avenue Bap-
fist Church.
Such people, said Dr.. James, have
no place rightfully in the church, ant
the church is no place for them
'.Many goo;. people who are outside
of the church would conse into the
church and would make good church
members, am certain" he said, "but
for the fact that when they pay .
visit to the church and see some dea-
con or other officer of the church
whom they know to be thoroughly
bad carrying around the collection
plate or performing some other such
service. And they think to them
selves, well if that's the best that
they've got, l might as well sthy
out of the church These people arc
people of refinement and they arc
naturally disgusted to see men OF
that kind IN the church"
DR.. James sermon followed along
the line that men outside Of tho
church here interested in religion.

THIEF is SEALED IN CAR.

Richmond, Va, March 17.-How a

locked in accidentally and held
prisoner, for forty-eight hours, when
he was taken from the car at Cor
louisville nearly dead, was nlade
known yesterday by NJ. l.. Angle, de-
tective for the railroad.
When; dragged from the car and re-
-vived, the man described himself as
Harry Luck, Fl years old Of New
York. He had suffered keenly from
lack of food and water and from ex-
posure. Luck was sentenced by a
Gordinsville magistrate to six months
on the public roaos.
Angle said he would have the man
brought here at the expiration OF M
sentence and tried for car-breakin@'
I,uck entered car of merchandise

shirts, pair of shoes hat, and o:her
things. ali caid to have been stolen.
Investigation by Detective Angie
in this city, disclosed that the 'doci
of the car was noticed by the cor
ductor of the train to be open Jus'
before the conductor gave the sigma
for the trains departure. Seal Clerh
Tyler was summoned and tire door
was sealed. In another nGor:ent the

The car remained closed until rs
arrival in Gordonsvilie two days later
Luck was unconscious when !ounc
