Last night there was a big.
:rowd at the tent and the ser
vices were splendid from tile
start to the close. People don’t
?et sleepy when Burke talks.
Those who missed hearing him
spell and pronounce P-R-E-S-B
5T-T-E-R-A-N lost a good thing,
and so the good things go and if
pou are not present to get them,
you lose them for life.
Rev. Burke put the gospel tel
escope into play last night and
ehurch members caught under
the great headlight of the Holy
Spirit felt his searching exami
nation and many no doubt were
moved upon the main line of ac
tive service who had been side
tracked for a long time and the
churches to which they belong
may-look out for service from
them in the future. The preach
er's description of how children
aring premature gray hairs to
.heir fathers and mothers will
lever be forgotten by those who
beard him, and prodigal boys
and girls will yet give their lives
to Christ as a result of his heart
searching message. At the close
if the service many church
members gave their hands to
the evangelist and the different
pastors of the city, saying that
they had been benefited by the
meeting and expected to live
closer to Christ. Several sinners
came forward seeking to be sav
sd and two professed faith in
Christ while a great number
stood and asked for prayers.
The subject for tonight will
be “Come, for all things are now
ready.” - >•—*— • *■->«•» j»— '• '■ ,
Sunday at 11 a. m. all the lo

2:30 Mr. Burke will address the
men and boys at the tent and
the women and girls will be ad
dressed at the same hour at the
court house by Mr. Hobbes, as
sisted by a local committee of la
dies. At night all will come back
to the tent and Rev. Burke will
preach from the text: “The fool

Tomorrow will be a great day.

Fashion Plate Proves Burglar.
New York Nov. 10.—The ve
ry polite and debopair “Raffles”
who apologized to Mrs. Fred
Swift on Tuesday night when he
robbed her home of $5,000 worth
of valuables, walked into the po
lice net this morning.
Dressed in the height of fash
ion, the burglar whose identity
is still unknown, was spied by a
detective, carrying a seemingly
overweighted satchel.
Though he politely but firmly
declined to allow the officer to
look into the leather bag, the
burglar still maintained his poise.
Nevertheless the detective sud
denly opened the bag, disclosing
hundreds of dollars worth of
booty.
Some of the valuables were
identified as those of Mrs. Swift.
Later the burglar took the police
to a cache on Jamaica Bay,where
thousands of dollars’ worth of
valuables were found.

their way on freight trains to El

trace of them was secured until
they were arrested at that place.
When captured they gave ficti

the officers to think that they
had been in the reform school.
Superintendent Chappie of the
