IN PULPITS ON SABBATH

There are at least dozer clergymen
employed In New York department
stores. and they are not there as the
result of a new plan in department store
management which seeks to provide pa
irons with spiritual attendance in addi-
ton to free concerts and baby checking
parlors They are active ministers Of
the Gospel who found their salaries in
sufficient and decided TO supplement
them by other work. And the other
work, in most instances. Is floor walking.
At Macy's. for one, there is the Rev.
DR. Daniel w. C. Ramsey of Union Hill.
n. T. Forty-odd hours Of answering
questions shot at him by professional
bargain hunters does not incapacitate
him from preaching his Sunday SER
mon or from carrying on other duties
far removed from that OF directing GUS
toners TO go down three aisles and turn
to the right.
A 'reporter for THE NEW YORK
HERALD went to Macy's and inquired OF
the first tloorwalker he met where DR..
Ramsey might be found. "Oh, the par
son? Why. there he is, two aisles away
the tall, stopped man with the black
pompadour."

the theater ticket agency, telephone
booths and telegraph office, repair de-
partment branch post office, the travei
bureau and half dozen other convent

All that Mr.. Hamilton does in addition
to directing these departments is TO look
after the spiritual welfare of two con-
gregations. Every Sunday he holds first
a Sunday school class at Congers, y. Y,
then goes over to Rockland Lake, where
he breaches sermon and follows it
with another Sunday school class. He
breaches his sermon at ConSers in the
evening. In spite of the two congrega-
tions. Mr. Hamilton calls himself lay
man. Most Of his material for sermons
he finds in his work at the store.

S150.000 Jewels.

Detectives from the East Sixty-sev-

to Miss Florence Walton. dancer, tell
how she was set upon by two or more
bandits in front of her home at 134 East
Sixty-fifth street and almost robbed of
a pasteboard box containing $150,000 in
diamonds. sapphires rubies, pearls and
so forth and so forth.
Miss Walton excitedly told Detective
John Skelly and newspaper men how she
went home in her automobile from the
Eighty-first Street Theater with her sis
ter, Helen, and her dancing partner.
Leon Le.ntrim.
Miss Walton said she stepped out OF
the automobile first. Under one arm
she carried her pet Pomeranian and
under the other she carried the plain lit
tie box with the jewels piled in 1t. As
she stepped out of the car, she said.
man stepped quickly toward her. pushed
her roughly. took the box from undec
her arm and ran to give it to another
man who was standing on the running
board of an automobile that had drawn
up across the street.
And right there Leon entered the fray.
What did Leon do but leap out of the
automobile, run across the street after
the fleeing bandit and swing his pom
derous right. The bandit faltered. fIc
dropped the box. 1t fell open and ali
the Glittering jewels rolled out on the
sidewalk. Miss Walton screamed. So
did her sister. who was sitting in the
car But in the meantime another ban
dit had sneaked UP on Helen and struck
her on the back of the neck with some
thing that felt like blackjack or
piece of rubber hose, such as highway
men are supposed to use. Then every
body started screaming. The bandits,
Miss Walton and Leon said, evidently
became frightened, for they jumped on
the running board OF their own auto
mobile and the car disappeared around
the corner north in Lexington avenue.
Several small boys who said they
had seen the attempted robbery ran to
the East Sixty-seventh street station
Miss Walton and Leon gathered up the

blocks down saw the Pomeranian, rec

Wildcats Killing Deer
In the Maine Woods

nATTEN, Me-, April 2. - Wild
cats have wrought havoc
with the deer in the Maine
woods this winter, according TO
big John" Mitchell. chief fire
warden of Penobscot county, who
has just returned from the north
ern part of the State. Evidences of
wholesale slaughter by the cats
were found. Mitchell reported here.
Deep snow. softened but not
melted by the spring sun, has
sealed the doom of hundreds OF
deer. Trying to escape from the
cats, the deer break through the
snow and founder helplessly, while
their pursuers. of lighter build, can
travel on the crust and overtake
their quarry.
