Trousers In England.

Strange though it may appear to the present generation. it seems that trou- sers when first introduced into Eng land were regarded as anything but a mark of responsibility. In the original trust deed, drawn up in 1920. of Bethel chapel, Cambridge street. Sheffield, there was a clause containing the fol lowing prohibitions: Under no circum- stances whatever shall any preacher be allowed to occupy the pulpit who wears trousers" 1t is scarcely neces- sary tc add that knee brooches and gaitery were then the correct attire.

 By Burglar at Riker's

The clear imprint of a mans, finger, close to window at the homo of An drew L. Rdker, which was robbed of $1, 800 worth of jewelry, last week, may lead to the identification and arrest of at least one of the burglars.
