Dr. Tindall cast his eagle eye upon them, and summoned the messenger, Old Fitz. The latter was hand- ed the boxes and directed to deliver each one in person to the Commissioner to whom it was addressed. Fitz put on his glasses and surveyed the boxes one by one, shaking his head meanwhile and muttering to him- self. The flaming addresses worried him not a little, and he took them away very care- fully. He kept whatever suspicions he may have had to himself, and carried out orders. Each Commissioner received a box. Scarce- ly had he returned to his station in the sec- retary’s room when the bell rang violently, and he was summoned before one of the District's triumvirate. This Commissioner didn’t like the looks of the box. The Commissioner seemed to share icions regarding it, and when ed to take it hence to a neigh- boring alley and open it, there was a per- ceptible tremor in his voice, as he said: “All right, sur.” Now, Fitz is no coward. He points with pride to his record in the army, when he fought under Stonewall Jackson. It's a lcng way to the alley, so Fitz thought there would be no harm in opening it in the sec- retary’s office, for, thought he, if it's an in- fernal machine, “begorra, I'm kilt anywhere I open it.” Attaching a pair of scissors to the handle of two brooms, he drew away a pace and cut the cords. Just then Dr. Tin- dall got a view of the proceedings, and mass- ed his clerks on one side of the room and watched the operations from a distance. It was a great piece of strategy on the part of the wiiy secretary, but then it must not be forgotten that he has a military ree- ord, and knows.all about explosives, a large part of which latter experience he gained while secretary to the board of Commission- ers. So he directed Fitz to open fire on the enemy. With only a glass of water to steady his nerves, the messenger broke the seal, . and waited. Every one listened for the siss- ing of the powder or the whirr of wheels which it is said all infernal machines must furnish as part of their business, But no sound came from the interior of the box, and Fitz proceeded to cut the enemy in twain. With another slash of the scissors he opened the box, and there, nestling in a dainty piece of pink tissue paper, lay a nice rew rubber eraser, a present from a prom- inent clothing firm in the "The eraser was carried back to the Com- missioner, who breathed a sigh of relief and epted it gratefully. The eraser 1s now in repute and has been consigned ‘to the dump. Its presence was a daily reminder of the supposed infernal machine. ‘The story has been kept a great secret, and it is understood an order has been issued for- Fidding the mention of the subject under penalty of instant dismissal. Dr, Bull's Cough Syrup, best in the market, THE CENTRAL UNION MISSION. Steps Taken to Keep Out the Vicious and Indolent. In many quarters the work of the Cen- tral Union Mission in its industrial depart- ment ts not fully understood, and occasion- ally the idea becomes current that the course of the mission draws the idle cldsses to this city as an easy place to make a living. In order to correct this false impression the board of directors of the mission have just adopted a series of rules governing the in- dustrial department, which at the same time explains its workings, and have also put themselves on record in a sort of platform or declaration. This latter reads as follows: “All the efforts of the mission shall be ex- pended to encourage industry, thrift, hon- esty and godliness; to life up the fallen, to give unfortunate men and women a chance to live happy and usefui lives, to show kind- ness and sympathy for those whose lot in life for any reason Is discouraging, to lend a helping hand to need and distress wherever found, and to point the lost to the Lord, who alone can aid and save.” The rules adopied will govern all those who may hereafter apply either for assist- ance or work. Rule 1 says that the object of the industrial department of the Central Union Mission shal! be to furnish to unem- ployed men and women a means of sustain- ing themselves temporarily without beg- ging, until they can secure better employ- ment. Rule. 2. Every homeless man or wo- man applying to the mission for assistance shall be given employment enough to earn at least two meals a day and a lodging, as far as the resources of the mission will al- low. While the work required shall not be excessive in quantity, so as to be a hardship. yet it shall be susficient to deter persons from resorting to it, except as a matter of actual necessity. Rule 3. Men or women who show an un- willingness to work, or who are known to beg rather than labor, or who disclose vicious habits or dispositions, or who are professional tramps from choice, without a desire or willingness to reform, or whose conduct gives ground to suspect that they are criminals, shall not be allowed the priv- ilege of the reading room, dormitories or dining room, or any part of the building ex- cept the auditorium during the progress of gospel services. It shall be the duty of all employes of the mission to co-operate with the police in an effort to rid the city of all such indolent, vicious or criminal persons. Today there were continuous gospel serv- ices, beginning at noon, and to last until 9:30 at night, the leaders changing every hour. Those in charge are as follows: 12 to 1, Messrs. Bailcy and Havell, leaders, and Miss Alice M. Kimball, organist; 1 to 2. Messrs. Wreeler and Evans, leaders, and: Miss Ber- tha Kimball, organist; 2 to 3, Miss Alice Kimball and Mr. Havell, leaders, and Geo. Craft, organist; 3 to 4, Messrs.
