He never forgot what lie owed to that minister and when he craving for sensations of the m0f i heard of h.s arrest he hastened to th- , j t court to render ms tormer oeneiac- fw detectives arrested a man. whom I tor every "help in his power. He ngi they followed from pawnshop to pawnshop where he had tried to sell some atomizers which, it is alleged Bad been stolen from a drugstort on Third Avenue. At the hearing in the Jefferson Market Court it was ascertained that the prisoner hai nee been one of the most distinguish ed and most eloquent ministers of the Southern Methodist Conference. He was in charge of one of the richest ehtrrches of New Orleans and for ten rtwelve years was considered one of the most powerful evangelists of the South. But his health gave way un der the strain of his work. He began to drink, retired from the ministrv and became a tramp. Two months ago he turned up in toxicated one night at the old Jerrv HcAuley Mission in Water street. He was urged to tell his experience. The conductor of the Mission did not Snow him, believing hira to be one of the usual Bowery derelicts. The ex minister arose and began speaking. Soon he became sober under the ck- titement of the moment and his words ed the bond for the prisoner and left the court with him. Another interesting story of a strong human interest culminated the other day in an impressive ceremony by which a regenerated drunkard and tramp was ordained minister of the Presbyterian church. The man was born in Pennsylvania, the son of well- to-do parents and graduated from Princeton University with the degree of Ph. D. After having been ordain ed a Presbyterian minister, he was appointed to a pastorate at Reynolds ville. and then at Tyrone, Pa. He then went to the Oxford Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, where his wife died. Her loss and his subse quent loneliness caused him to drink, first moderately, then a great deal. Ten years ago he was addicted to the drinking habit to such an extent that he resigned the ministry. For sever al years he lived the life of a tramp, sinking lower and lower, drifting from one place to another and finally landing in New York.

AMAZING NUMERS ARE KILLED IN WAR PEACE SOCIETY SECRETARY SAYS THKY FIGURE UP INTO BILLIONS. CHICAGO. May l.-Amasing statistics will be presented to the Na tional Peajre Society, which convenes here Monday, by Benjamin F. True blood, secretary of the American Peace Society. In a report compiled for distribution among the delegate, it is asserted that fifteen billion per sons have sacrificed themselves in wars since the beginning of authentic history. "This vast number of victims," says Mr. Trueblood. "is about equal to a'l the people who inhabited the glohe for the last six hundred years, allow ing three generations to the century and 650,000,000 estimated population of the world at thej opening of lth century as the average population per generation. "The usual estimate of the number of men lost in the wars in 19th cen tury, including those who died M wounds and diseases, places it at 14. 000.000. Of this nnmber the Napol eonic campaigns are responsible for about six million. Losses in the American Civil War have been var iously estimated at from 800,000 to ! 000.000 men. The brief war between Prussia; Austria and Italy in 1866 en tailed a loss of 45,000 men." Mr. Traeblood also gives figur-s governing the cost of war from a fi nancial standpoint "The figures." he said, "are stag gering and probably would be more so if they could be fully obtainel. Only approximate correctness is claimed for the following statements. "The Napoleonic campaign, cover ing 19 years, cost $15,000,000,000, the British-American war in 1812-1814, $300,000,000; the Crimean war 1854 to 1856, $166.00ff,00a American Civil War $13,000,000,000 and the Prussian Austrian war of 1866. $325,000,000." The national debts of the world powers, Mr. Trueblood estimates at $34,633,154,000. "The. significance of this vast sum. the interest on which is over $1,000, 000,000 a year," he says, "is that prac tically the whole is chargeable to war and militarism" l A ' J narrowly .escaped death in various forms. He was crossing Railroad Avenue, White Plains, which was crowded with vehicles, and jumped out of the way of a carriage, only to get in front of a trolley car- He made a desperate leap to escape the trolley car and landed almost in front of a speeding automobile. Only another desperate leap saved him from being run down. The 6ld man had almost reached safety, when a young man, riding a bicycle ran him down- His head struck the pavement and he died an hour later at the hospital. Habitual criminals, who have the misfortune of falling into the hands of the authorities have little clemency to expect from the courts in this citv. A man who recently pleaded guiltv to a charge of burglary was sentenc ed to imprisonment for a period of forty-two years at Sing Sing. It ap peared that the prisoner had served several terms for burglary and had committed nearly one hundred bur glaries since he had been released from prison the last time. His meth od had been to stupefy his intends ! victim by illuminating gas. before he robbed their apartments and several persons had narrow escapes from leath as the result of breathing the gas.

CHICAGO, May l.-Field Museum authorities have been notified by a telegram from Brigadier General C. R. Edwards in charge of insular af fairs at Washington that the murder ers of Dr. Wm. Jones, who was killed by head hunters on the island of l.uion, have been captured. Director Skiff said the Washington officials r' ceived a cablegram from Dean Wor cester, Secretary of the Interior of the Philippines, that the murderer were being taken to the nearest con stabulary station. "I suppose, said Curator G. A. Dor sey," that the capture was affected by Captain Ceo. Bowers, who is in com mand of the nearest constabulary. At the tima of the murder he was sen out to Investigate among llongots. the tribei among whom Dr. Jones was doing his work. "He evidently has the right parties and they doubt less will be dealt with summarily as an example." The trial probably will be held in Beguet province, which ts nearest to the head-hunters country. Cenvic tions will result in death by hanging 1L FIGHT THEATRE TRUST, HE SAYS LEE SHUBERT SAYS THE NEW COMBINATION WILL NOT AFFECT PLANS. NEW YORK, May l.-The Shu berts today defied combined force of Klaw and Erlanger. David Bclas co and Harrison Grey Fiske in the interesting 6ght which is promised for the theatrical business next sea son. Regarding the agreement which Bclasco and Fiske reached with Klaw and Erlanger, Lee Shubert had this to say: "Whatever Belasco, Fiske an! Klaw and Erlanger may do does not affect me. as the matter is absolutely indifferent to us. The Shuberts are strong enough'to go it alone without any assistance from anyone and we certainly are going to do it. Thit move on the part of the syndicat; could not have found us better pre pared. With our New York theatrs and the ones we control throughout the country we will be able to book our own attractions without the least difficulty. "Our main strength, however, lies in the targe number of attractions and stars we control. These are the key to the situation and the managers of one-night stand theaters throughout the ocuntry must use our attractions or close their theatres. I admit that the move was a complete surprise .o me, but I repeat that it will not have the least effect on any of our plans." Rev. I. W. Williamson's Letter Rev. I. W. Williamson, Hunting ton, Ur. Va., writes: "This is to cer tify that I used Foley's Kidney Rem edy for nervous exhaustion and kid ney trouble and am free to say that it will do all that you claim for it."

BLE WEALTHY AMERICANS LIST ING THEIR VALUABLES BE FORE GOING ABROAD. SAN FRANCISCO, May l.-Ai a result of the recent exposure of a plot to smuggle French finery and foreign jewels into this country on a gigantic scale by employing the names of rich Americans returning home from Europe, scores of men and women who have planned to go abroad within a short time are regis tering their valuables at the local customs house. Already the officials are called upon to take accurate descriptions of jewel ry, furs and gowns which the prospec tive travelers wish to take with them, in order that they may not be annoy ed upon the return by the greater activity of the New York authorities due to the recent expose. Magnifi cient ropes of pearls, diamond tiara, costly gowns and opera cloaks and other valuable possession are laid out by their owners before the local of ficials. A necklace valued at $1&000 has been inspected 'thus far and other baubles of almoit equal value destined to dazzle society circles of the old world capitals, have been recorded and packed under the official seal. Under the law these must not be removed except by a foreign consul if the owner wishes to escape the an noyance of a close investigation upon the return to New York.
