Not to Prosecute—Will Be Booked on Three Charges To-Day. Charles Lenehan, a young man employ- ed by Hoffman, Rothchild & Co., whole- sale clothiers, now reposes in the tanks at the City Prison, a victim to his own | cuptdity. | While working in the well known es- toklishment, it is alleged, he robbed it of clothing amounting to nearly a hundred dollars and pawned his stealings, the pro- ceeds of which he devoted to fast living. His plan of operations was a novel oue, and he might have continued it had he | not become careless. Choosing an ex- pensive pair of trousers he would go to a | side room and slip off his own and put on | the stolen article. He would then draw his inferior piece of clothing on and Bold- | ly walk out of the store on some pretext | or other. Vests recelved the same ireat- | ment, and no suspicion was arcused by his actions. Being familiar with the dif ferent departments in the store he cf from such piles as would not e misse | His service in the store, although a | short one, netted him many doliers ts Zol- low his rapid life. Lenehan became bolder in his opera- tions until articles began to be missed. Mr. Rothchild, a member of the firm, was notified, and try as he would hé could not locate the leak. - He then up- pealed to the police for ald, and Detec- tives Ryan and O'Dea were detafled 1o look Into the robberies. They were given a good description of the garments stolen | and quietly made inquiries in different pawn shops. They located part of the stolen clothing In a pawn shop on Thicd street, and secured a description of Lene- han. They then Kept watch on the store, and finding that the latter answered the description, followed him and captured him in the'act of plying his practice. | They took him to the City Prison on | Monday afternoon and lodged him in the | tanks awalting further developments. it | was thought that others in_the store had | been likewise gullty, but Mr. Rothchild claims that this was the first time the | firm found clothing missing. Lenehan | comes of a good famlily, and every effort | is being made to quietly settle the mat- | ter. Mr. Rothchild has been appealed to not to prosecute, but as yet he Yms not arrived at a dectsion.

S a5 it of Gratitude From the Clergy. Receives a Testimonial HE Cathollc church, through its min- isters, the pastors- of the varfous Catholic churches throughout this archdiocese, has -honored Father Yorke In the presentation of an .address and -testimonfal of gratitude and appre- clation of the work which he has accom- plished In the cause of Catholicism. The honor conferred is one- rarely accorded by the church, and is a tribute which few, if any, prelates ever receive. Burrounded by - the - representative priests of the entire archdiocese the pre- sentation was made last Thursday after- | noon in the basement chapel of St. Mary's Cathedral. The idea of framing an appropriate ad- dress and - testimonial was determined upon about two years ago, and a commit- tee appointed at the time to make what- ever arrangements that would be found necessary in having it made. The design, after being outlined and accepted, was sent to Ireland for the purpose of hav- ing it engrossed. Through varfous caases it was delayed In reaching here, and was | not received until a few days prior to its: presentation. The address is beautifully. and ‘artisti- cally decorated, being worked in pen and ink and water colors. Situated on the upper and lower borders are scenes of Galway Bay and the Golden Gate, May- nooth College and the Catholic University at Washington; the American eagle and shield and the harp and wolf dog of Ire- On the side borders, giving promi- nence and emphasizing the effect pro- duced by the upper and lower views, ire decorations of American and Irish de- signs. The entire address is set in a heavy gilt frame ahd is mounted on an easel of dark green and gold. To more fully express the feeling which is felt and extended by _the Cathollc clergy generally to Father Yorke a check was ' presented him for $1000. The .gift was made in anticipation of a vacation which he intends taking in the near fu- ture, and was donated by the various parishes. The address was read by Father Lynch of St. James' Church. It was as follows: The history of the past two or three in the stirring events of which you played so conspicuous a part, makes a very ‘Interesting Under the patriotism, men who were specious guise of banded themselves together with the avowed purpose. of depriving their Catholic *fellow- citizens of the rights and privileges guaranteed to them under the constitutions of the: State and Nation. “‘They made lies thelr refugq, and under falsehood did they hide themselves: and by unclean vilification and reckless mendacity succeeded in superinducing ‘a religious eonten- tion which, for a_time, threatened to disrupt the foundations of civii soclety,” and to make the Church of Christ an allen and an outcast in a land to which it was the first to bring the glad gospel tidings, and where, at peace with’ all, it had llved and flourished as a bay tree Dby the running water. Catholice ~ were bewlldered. The = weaker brethren among them advocated prayer and patience. ~They considered it unwise and -un- christian to oppose the campaign of falsehood by a campaiga of truth. They bethought them of the sweet humility of the early martyrs. but seemed to forget the herolc courage. of the great Christlan apologists. ~Their paths were peace and their advice was to -abide patiently until the storm had passed away, but the storm showed no slgn of passing. Every .day saw It increase in force and-fury. Every day from press and platform, by secret insinuation and’ public proclamation, Catholics were accused of the grossest crimes against: God and man, till the minds of even honest and truth-loving ‘men were being affected by Incessant and.uncon- tradicted misstatements, Disagreeable and hateful as retiglous controversy. for the most part s, it became imperatively necessary that the. trith should: be ‘spoken. - How. dlstasteful, soever, it might be to the individual, the good name ‘of the church and the interests of the whole Catholic people demanded this.

JOCKEY CLUB STAKE RACES NEW ORLEANS TO BE A STRONG RIVAL NEXT WINTER. Items From Kangarooland—The To- talizator System of Wagering Money in the Colonies. The Outlook Here. .- New Orleans is making a strong -bd for the pdtronage of the Eastern turfmen during the ‘coming winter. A dispatch from the Crescent City s to the effect that the jockey club there will hang up $10,000 more for the stakes than formerly. Jimmy . McCormick, for three years past the chief trainer for Burns & Waterhouse, has clearly gone back on California com- | pletely, for in a recent interview printed in'a Chicago dally he declares himself in favor of New Orleans as a winter rac- ing point. As McCormick has recelved the best of treatment in the Golden State, the sudden shift of the New York horse- man- and his enthusiastic praise of the Crescent City leads one to the belief that either McCormick had not the real ad- miration he professed for California or else he has little gratitude in his soul. Bob McKibbon, who is well-known here as the official announcer of both jockey clubs, and who acted as patrol judge at.| the Chicago tracks for several weeks this season, says there will be a. larger num- ber of horses coming to California to race next. fall from the Eastern side of the Rockies than have appeared any previous season. He declares that all the turfmen who have raced their gallopers here in years ‘agone will ‘be on -hand wlen the | bell rings-at Oakland track November' 1 and ‘that ‘several newcomers will' be on | the list of owners, notably Duke & Wish-| ard, who have the crack ~riders Reiff (Johnny and Leéster) under contract. N. Turner, one of the best of the ‘i'ounger riding brigade, will also be on deck, as will ‘A Barrett, now piloting racers at the far East. “Brown Dick” (Ed Brown) will send four or five good ones out here to race, and.. Bugene Leigh ~and Pat| Dunne, who were not active turfmen here last:season, will'be here this time ‘with about the best strings in the . country. Tom Ryan will. send out several that will earn their oats in any company, . and doubtless Louis Ezell, Dan Honig ~and other turfmen enthusiastic over California climate for racing purposes will influence some of their . friends to come out and secure new lease of life. The Pacific Coast Jockey Club stakes are out.. They were announced in Chicago be- fore. they were made public in San Fran- | cisco,. strange to. relate. Of those to be run for in 1898 there are eight in.all, and | of the-eight three are of the '‘guaranteed value” of $1000, three of $1200, fwo of | $1500. Of the announced 1899 stakes three | are eighteen, and twelve are $1000 .affairs | of ' the ‘‘guaranteed” description. The | California_ Oaks (§2000)), California” Derby | only events worth mentioning. If -the Horsemen's ‘Protective Assoclation does | not make the Pacific’ Coast Jockey Club | wipe the “guaranteed value'' part of the | conditions "off the books and substitute | by the clul it will :create surprise. How ridiciulous these 1000 guaranteed v stakes - (?) | are, to be sure! Not a blooming owner ns to_ the hour" for a single ‘one of them, and not as mucu in- terest is felt by the racegoing’ public in | these travesties #s in an October derby. If instead of twenty-six stakes there were seven or eight.worth as much as the twenty-six there would be some talk in dulger‘ in. as to the prospective winner | and some interest felt in the outcome. If. ‘there is an additional dollar brought in. at theé gate the day these jokes are per: petrated the managers wiu be forced to put on a -powerful palr of spectacles to Dbe énabled to see it. el The Australian Jockey Club has notified | that at all registered race meetings with- in the metropolitan ‘district .(40 miles radius) the amount of added money shall | not be less than £400 per day, distributed among not more than six races. .At all such meetings there shall be on each day at least one race on the flat (not being a selling race) of not less than one mile and a quarter, to which the added money | shall not be less than £100 and there shall | be not more than one selling .race ‘each | day, to which the added money shall not | exceed £50. This alteration is causing the proprietary’ clubs to kick a bit, while horse owners, on the contrary naturally think it_a very proper move, savs the | Svdney Referee. . ‘ The Australasian comes:out strongly in faver of the totalizator style of betting, | as against bookmaking, declarin that “the tote” has*been.a godsend to the turf of South Australla, Queensland, New Zealand and other portions, enabling the jockey clubs of those countries to give about three times as much in the shnRe of purses and stakes as. formerly. The Australasian writer ges en to. say that plunging on certain events is done away with and. many men are saved from finan- -cial ruin by the operation:of. the machine on race da only. - That. is -rather - an argument in.favor of the totalizator than anything. else.
