With thi: Hght the cctives started out to locate the thieves, They lingered about in the vicinity of the two houses for a couple of nights without result Yesterday, ho ever, their lahors were rewarded and they located the exact house on Farnam strect where one of the men was supposed to Within an hour afterward they le wherecabouts of the other. This all that was needed, and about § o'clock they went to the Farnam street house and a sted Andrews while he was in bed sleeping. He resisted and sald the officer should not take him alive, and that he was prepared to de fend himself. Resista did not avail him anything, and he was told to dress himself as quickly as he could and go with the offi- cors, He as assed 8 not volver, valu have. gullty were and a finally went and after he was locked up a visit was made to the Chicago street place and there Me was found, He showed little disposition to resist and went {o the station peaccably. They were placed in separate cells and remained there for a couple of lours till some of those who lost goods and jewelry could be communicated With. Friday the residence Miss Kate C. Jallantine, 1328 South Sixteenth street, was broken into and about $100 worth of clothes and jewel taken. She was the first to n at the station. The goods were all recovered from pawnbrokers, with the excepton of the jewelry, and were at the station for her to identify She readily identified all the clothes as those missed from her house and then a watch and chiain were produced. These were her property, as the watch had he name on it, and Andrews was w ng it when arrested. The next article was a black derby hat. This belonged to Miss Ballan- tine's brother and Andrews was wearing this, and he was wearing it in the cell. The description given of the lost hat w silk hat and this is why he was not compelled to leave it with the jailer, WAS BURNING THE HAT. While Mrs. Ballantine conversing with the jailer some one smelled smolke fssuing from one of the cells. When investi- gated it proved to be the silk lining of the hat which Andrews was wearing. He tor it from the hat and set fire to it, as the name of its owner was on the lining. The hat was, however, identified, as that part of the lining was left on which the initials were printed. Why Andrews wore the watch with the name on it seems strange, but it is thought that he could not sell it on that account. The pawnbroker with whom most of the clothing was. left went to the station and identified Andrews and Meyers as the men who_left the goods ‘with him. February 23 the house of C. Sorenson, Six- teenth and Vinton, was broken igto and $50 worth of clothing stolen. There was not the slightest trace of the thicves and no one knew where the property was. After a careful search of the pawnshops Detectives Savage and Dempsey and Officer Davis re- covered it all. Pawnbroker Singer went to the police station and identified Andrews and Meyers as the parties who sold the goods to him. When they were brought up they de- nied ever having seen Singer before, but he Was oo positiy IDENTIFIED BY OTHERS. Pawnbroker Speigle also received some of the stolen goods and he likewise identified Andrews and Meyers as the parties leaving tho goods with him. When they saw Mr. Speigle they made no denial whatever. About two days ago the store of F. I. Friedrickson, 906 North Sixteenth street, was broken into and goods to the value of $50 taken. He, like the others, had no clew. “These goods were all recovered in Meyers' room on Chicago street yesterd A lady living at Twenty-fourth and Cum- ing stréets lost a gold watch about a week ago. It was taken while she was out shop- ping, and had the thieves made a more care- ful search they would have got a $200 dia- mond ring. So far it has not been possible to place this at these men’s doors, but it is thought they know something about it. Another place on North Twenty-fourth street was broken into and a few small articles taken. The watch spoken of the detectives are able to locate, but the proprictor of the pawnshop, who was there when the deal was made, is away. He will be asked to take a look at the prisoners when he returns, The police are feeling rather jubilant over tho arrest. Meyers bas been arrested before for larceny, and Andrews was the man who was arrested about a month ago on the charge of adultery with a Mrs. Meyer Today will probably disclose many new cases against these men, and if all the o reported can be charged to them their thefts Wil reach, as far as known, about $500, Sl ESTHER AS QUEEN. Dr. Patterson byterian Last Evenin At the Pirst Presbyterian church last evening Dr. Minor C. Baldwin of New York City contributed to the musical program by playing “Nearer, My God, to Thee" with varlations to the delight of his audience, Preceding the rmon the pastor, Rev. J. M. Patterson, conducted a ten minutes ques- tion service, discussing questions pertaining to Christian duty and conduct. This will be a feature of th ervice for several Sun- day evenings, and persons desiring to have light thrown upon subjects or questions that are doubtful have the p flege of writ- ing their inquiry upon a slip of paper and dropping It into the collection basket, as- sured that it will receive courteous attten- tio The theme of the evening wa sther, the Queen.” Th story of the book of Bsther was recited by way of introductlon, and then lessons were drawn from the life and character of the beautiful Persian queen. Attention was called to the changed condition of women under the gospel dis- pensation, Heathen people, the preacher sald, have always looked down upon the gentler sex. Cicero, Pliny, Senaca, Plato, all speak of her in notes of disparagement. But the tendency of Christiunity always and everywhere has been to elevate woman. This fact was felt In the carly years when Labienus, the brillant orator, said What women these Christians have!" The poorest woman in a Christian land today Is more to be envled for her position than was Esther as queen of this pa The lite of Esth Hlustration of th His promise Is strength be" its way into the Bermon of at the First Pres. furnishes a sustalning gr As thy day, s the trouble which found palace BEsther laid the motter before the Lord in fasting and prager.

Men jud 3 as thieves rob us when we least expe M And though thieves may ‘carry away no boot yet our Judges carry away their opinion of us. Unless we are living according to the plumb line, any day we may have the sentence pronotunced upon us: “Thou art weighed in the balance and art found wanting.” And the truth is that a man's daily iife In the ordinary routine of affairs determines his life in crises. We cannot divorce ourselves from past lives, The Intemperate pays the pe of his intemper when in_ tl crisis of & sev fliness, » temperate man gets the premium for his temperate life at the same time. The herofe fs always born out of the commonplace. The prize is the reward of » plodder. Little things are the founda tion of great things. Fidelity in every-day tasks makes possible the victory of red letter days, The life of Esther teaches the importance of every-day thoughts and words and deeds, rxes could not reverse his decree for the slaughter of the Jews. All he could do to permit Jews to resist. And words and deeds and acts arc irrevoca- ble. The glance of the eye, the word spoken, the deed done, exercises an influ that can never be recalled.

Jesus says, “Ye have the poor always with you, but Me ye have not always.” But today we have a class of poor who have existed but twice before in the history of our nation; once in the days of Valley Forge, In the rebellion of the 60's, and foday. We have an intelligent, and in some cases highly educated and refined peo- ple, who are absolutely hungry and cold. If you doubt go with me on upper Chicago fortable looking cottage, ex- , and you will see two rooms, both very clean. In one is a carpet and sewing machine, in the other a cuphoard and cooking stove. In the cupboard are dishes, but no food. The stove shines with blacking, but no fire. Four children with clean faces and aprons, not a chair or other item of furniture. They have gone to buy food. The father and mother stood with us while they reluctantly confessed that a few pounds of flour and a bowl of sugar was the only food to carry them over the Sunday, and no prospect ahead. Out on Fortieth street is another cottage whose occupants own the building. The mortgage is owned by another man, Ente and one of the two rooms contains a bed, a cooking stove and table. The family Is dining. The menu consists of bread and water. The water is hot, for they have a_little coal left. Enter the other room and three of its sides are lined with books, not ‘“dime novels” or light literature, but history, poetry, religion, ancient and modern literature, Homer, Virgil, Plutarch, Dono- phen, Pliney, Livy, Beecher, Talmage and a host of oiher sages, ancient and modern, looking down from cold on cupboards bare.

We are told to press gifts upon the former, the last we must refuse bacause they are vicious and depraved. We do the best wo know and go home to ponder and pray and ask ourselves and God for the remedy. The one Is suffering through too much pride, the other from too little. How shall we prescribe for the present soclal malady? Today, through our different charity organizations, we are treating the effects palliatively, in the tomorrows he must treat the cauge, if we would save the life of our soclety and nation. We are on the verge of a mental revolution, Let us hope it will not culminate as it aid in France, when there were other things than bread borne upon pike staffs through the streets of Paris. To avoid this and to an the will of the Great Physician, O, ye Chrls- tians and doctors of divinity, let us come to- gether to diagnose and proguosticate this social sickness and prescribe aud administer a remedy. The members of the Eighth Ward Relief soclety, in view of the above, carnestly beg of you, especially the clergy, to meet with them on Sunday at 8:30 p. m. at the Second Presbyterian church, North Twenty-fourth street, to overlook our work and to advise with us how to know our neighbors better, s0 that we may not “pass by on the other side” in the days which to come; how to serve those who have “fallen among the thieves” of indiscretion and sin; how best to take the sick to an inn of salvation until their wounds are healed, and how best to give unto them the bread of life.
