C. Nelson, janitor of ‘the Latter Day Saints’ church on Picrce, discovered Wednes- day evening that the contribution box had been robbed of $6.07, the property of the Sun day school. The thief had entered by the door, probably having a key that was lost last summer during the progress of a festival in the church. The consummate meanness of the thief in robbing a Sunday school box is almost beyond comprehension. Deputy Sherifft Hooker, of Carson, arrived in the city yesterday morning, in charge of Charles Norton, a resident of Grove town- ship, charged with rape on the person of the ten-year-old daughter of E.

The fact is that Mr. Waterman was the first of the new city fathers to legally qualify, having done €0 a few days after election, just prior to his sickness, His condition is still quite precar ous, and but few friends are allowed to see him.

Hope yon are well.” 4 “Yes, thanks; and you? Goingabroad, eh?” The first speaker was Phil Armour, the ten times millionaire pork packer of the bounding west. He had just scrawled his name on the register of the Fifth Avenue hotel, and the man he greeted so warmly was Detective Pryor, who has nothing to do but dress well and see that crooks of ail kinds keep away from the hotel and its guests. Pryor is six feet and two inches, and in some respects his physique suggests John L. Sullivan. He dresses in the latest fashion, and is fond of a sweet- smelling rose for the buttonhole of his verybody knows him, and he has a pleasant” word for everybody. The wealthy pork packer with his hands be- hind his back spent a half hour walking up and down the hotel corrider with him, talking on all sorts of subjects, When they separated a bystander satd to Pryor: “I’l1 bet the old man {s afraid of his hfe. Honest, now, didn’t he ask you to keep an eye on him and see no one did him harm?” Pryor shook hishead in a negitive fashion, but did not_speak, which left the speaker in considerable doubt about the matter. Avmour’s life has been threatened several times, but he is said not to be afraid. However that may be, there are other people from distant cities who come to New York and stop at the big hotels, who are timid, One of the first things they do after regis- tering is to deposit their valuables in the hotel safe, and then seek the house detective and ask that an eye be kept on suspicious characters, so that they may do them no harm. Detectives are being used more and more every day. Not only are they em- ployed rcgulm-l{) in halls, restaurants, in banks and in big offices, but they are also engaged by clubs, theaters, stores and for private houses. For years, night and day, a detective has paced up and down in front of Stewart’s marble palace on Fifth avenue, and at least a score of other private families employ them. One man is on guard during the day and another at nmight, At all big din- ners, receptions and balls, detectives are engaged to keep an eye on visitors, and wedding presents are never exhib- sted now except in the presence of a de- tective. These men are furnished by rrivnlu detective agencies or by the po- \ce department. They appear in fu evening dress and mingle freely with the guests, They are paid liberally for their services, .

How Zeb Vanca Explained His Rell- glons Faith aha Captured the Votes. Atlanta Constitution: Zeb Vance said that one time away back when he was running for congress against Holden he had to go over a. mountain range and down into a valley where he had never been before. The humble people in that valley wgre almost cut off and_hid out from the rest of the world, and espec- ially from that efde of the world in which Mr. Vance lived. He knew noth- ing about their politics or their relig- icn. “North Carolina is a curious te.” said he. ‘‘Her religion is ckled and epotted like it had the meacles. In one valley you willfind the people all Episcopalinns, however poor and primitive. The ancestors of first settlers came from old England and brought that religion with them, and, as nobody moved Fn or moved out, their descendants kept the faith of their fath- ers. In another valley youwill find them all Preshyterians, because the ancestors came from Scotland. In another they will be all Methodists or all Baptists, and every one of these separate commu- nities will have an old patriarch work- ing in the lead, and ke is looked upon as the bell-wether of the flock. Now, 1t is necessary that a politician should know the religious faith of those with whom he is ‘lectioneering’ for votes. It he can’t chime in with it exactly he mustn’t say anything ‘agin’ it. Now,” said Mr. Vance, ‘‘when 1 got over into the valley to meet my appointment, T found about seventy-five of the humble sovereigns gathered at the cross-ronds where there was a little store and a wagon-shop and a meeting-house. They had on their home-made clothes and were standing around chewing tobacc and talking about ‘eraps’ and waiting for me to come. T soon got familiar with them and got them in first-rate humor, but as Holden was to come over in a c¢ay or two I wanted to fix things in some way so that he couldn’t unfix them, Holden was a _ Methodist and 1 was afraid that these people were. I noticed an old man sit- ting off on a chunk and_marking in the sand with his long walking-stick. He had on big brass spectacles and his heavy shaggy eyebrows and big long nose indicated character, and so I set him down as the beil-wether of the flock. After a while T got up_close to him and was about to nddr(‘ssRim. when he gave a prayerful grunt and got up and braced himself on his stick and looking at me said in a solemn voice: ‘This is Mr. Vance, I believe?’ ‘Yes, sir.’ said I, giving him my hand. ‘And I am Emanuel Stenor,” said he, ‘and T sup- pose you have come over the mounting to talk to my boys about their votes.’ ‘Yes, sir, said I, ‘that is my principal business, and I——’ ‘Well, Mr. Vance,’ said he,interrupting me;‘before you pro- ceed any further with that business I would like to ax you a question or two.’ ‘Certainly, sir,’ $fid I; ‘certainly.’ ‘Well, Mr. Vance, allow me to ax you what church do you belong to?’ “Well, that wasa sockdolager and it came straight at me, and for A moment 1 was demoralized, but I ralied, and as the boys had all gathered around to hear the old man put me through, I cleared my throat and said: ‘That isa fair question, my friend: afair question, bl you about that. My grandfather came from England, and as over there the established church was Episcopalian, of course he was a Episcc- palian.’ “T paused a moment to see the effect of this, but there was none that was fav- orable. The old man marked a little more in the sand and spit_hls tobacco away off on one side. So T continued: ‘But my grandmother cameyfrom Scot- land, and you know that John Knox left his mark upon the whole nation, and s0, of course, she grew up & Presbyterian.” I paused again, but there was no sign, no awakening, no chord struck, and the old man marked some more in the sand. ‘But, my friend, my father was born and grew up in a Methodist community, who were in this country, and converted by John ‘Wesley, and. of course, he became a Methodist.” I thought that now I had him sure, butIdidn’t. There was no sign of sympathy from him or the boys, and_so I took my first shot; ‘But my good old mother, sir, was born and raised a Baptist, and it’s always been my opinion that a man has got to go under the water before he can get to heaven,” A gleam of satisfaction spread all over the old man’s face as he said: give me your hand, Brother Vanca, Boys, I told youso; 1told you that he was o Baptist afore he come. Heisa man. You can all vote for him, but Hol- den won't do nary time, for they do sy that he is one of these shouten, cavortin, Methodists.””” s A Great Battle Is continually going on in the human system.

Gazette: In November, 1882, north of the Yellowstone river, be- tween Dry Fork and Red Water streams, buffaloes were very plentiful and the slaughter of them was prose- cuted with unrelenting vigor. That was the section Vie Smith, Doc Yahl, “‘Missouri Jim,” Jim Blake, George Brown and many others followed the bukalo like an avenging Nemesis, and sad to say, never let up until the noble game was wiped out, Charles W, Rock, better known as Dick Rock, was acknowledged to be the quickest buf- falo skinner on the range. He could casily skin forty-five buffaloes in one day—a well proportioned six-footer and the best lorseman I ever saw. He claimed that he could ride and *‘stick” anything that wore hair, unless it was a grizzly bear. It was seldom that he spoke of his prowess unless bantered by some of his companions. At that time he was hunting on a tributary of Dry Fork, close to Vie Smith’s camp.,? One evening in camp the subject of breaking horses and wild animals to ride came up, and Dick offered to bet $50 that he could ride a butfalo. His money was quickly covered, and Sam Bigknell was chosen referee and stake- holder. The conditions were that he should ride a buffalo half an hour, bar- ring accidents, such as the running under limbs of trees, that skirted the small streams. The next morning one of the party rode over to Smith’s camp and acquainted him with the facts of the wager and required his assistance in 1g the animal on which Rock was le. Vie acquiesced and soon all hands rode out in search of the game, They approached within two hundred yards of about a dozen buffalos, and all hands stopped with the exception of Vie, whocrawled on hands and knees within one hundred yards, and, se ing a fine, fat o took ' ca aim and accomplished what was in- tended—that is, shot her through the musches of the neck and knocked her down, a feat thatis called ing. At the crack of the rifle Rock, on horse, sped like the wind to the fullen cow, and quickly dismounting sprang upon the brute’s back, which had al- ready recovered coneciousness, and away they went full til} after the bal- ance of the herd, which was abouta quarter of a mile distant. Hls Iarfie spurs, which' he had sonk deep ip the cow's eides, ferved to enable him to re- tain his seat, while it also served tofrrl- tata tbe brute. She bellowed and bucked 1n a frightful manner while Rock applied the. ‘'quirt.” They soon were among the herd of buffaloes and, remarkable as it may appear, the other buffaloes did not appear frightened as coming in contact with man, but, on the contrary, endeavored to unseat him by hooking viciously at his legs. The balance of the boys soon sepa- rated Rock and his animaldrom the rest of the herd and ran them In aoircle until time was called, when & half- breed, named Baptiste, shot the buffalo, and Rock lay down, on the ground for about twenty minutes to search for his lost wind, that had been completely umped out of him by the terrible buck: ng and jolting that he had recelved. Hislegs were badly bruized from the horns of the herd. pried B A newspaper printed in Gaelle, the only one of the kind in the country, has been started in Brooklyn. ——— All the police stationsin New York are to be painted white, so that they may be easily recognized by strangers others, SPECIAL NOTICES.
