THE TIMES.

Bay's Grist in South Chicago HOLD-UP MEN CHOKE VICTIM. Mrs. Thomas Wells ol Bryn Mawr Is Viciously Assaulted. While returning to ner norae u.i Euclid avenue last night, from the theater. Mrs. Thomas Wells was set upon j by two armed men and robbed of her purse containing change amounting to about a dollar and a diamond set chain and locket. Mrs. Mrs. Wells had been to the theater unaccompanied and had only walked a few steps after alighting from the Illinois Central train until' two men approached her and asked her to hand over her cash. Mrs. Wells began screaming and it was then that one of the rufflns choked her while his partner secured the money and Jewelery. Pushing the woman to the side of the street, both of the robbers made their escape, running down the Illinois Central tracks. The matter has been reported to the Woodlawn police who are working on the case. This is the second robbery of a Bimiliar nature that has startled the residents of peaceful Bryn Marw within the last three months and a petition will likely be sent to Chief Shippy askink for police in that neighborhood. As it now is, seven men have ben alloted to the district and the residents claim that this force is entirely inadequate to cope with the amount of territory the yhave to cover. STONY ISLAND WANTS SIDEWALKS IMPROVED. Recent Rains Flood Cinder Path; Aid. Bital Investigate. Stony Island residents are up in arms over the poor sidewalks in their city and the present deplorable condition of the streets. In some placeB on the cinder walks water is standing to a depth of over three inches and the various street crossings are supporting small lakes and ponds. Alderman Bihl yesterday walked over the neighborhood and saw the conditions and is quoted as saying that he would see what he could do" for the people at the next meeting of the cltf council. Although Stony Island is well equipped with cinder walks they were never made high enough, which is shown by the fact that the water leaves them in a submerged condition. It would be all right if each owner would get busy and take care of his own walk,' but the residents seem to be looking for their neighbor to start something and the result is that nothing is done. In the meantime pedestrians are compelled to wade through water up to their shoe tops to get to their cars and trains. CHURCH WILL CELEBRATE LABOR DAY. Subject for Sermons Will Be "Relation of Organized Labor to Modern Christianity." Tomorrow is Labor Su 1ay and every laboring man in the South Chicago dis trict or any other district for that matter, is requested to turn out and go to church and help mane the day an auspicious one.

; manner in -wrnich the ministers have ibeen working on their subject some interesting sermons will be delivered j tomorrow morning and evening. Not only will the same subjects be sat the Protestant churches, but at the t Catholic churches as well, so there need be no excuse for the laboring man not going. In other words excuses don't go, say the ministers and a record-breaking attendance is looked for tomorrow Chicago. The West Pullman, Pullman and Burnside churches will take up the game subject at thelr Sunday services. FEARS FOR DAUGHTER; FATHER BECOMES VIOLENT. A. E. Larson Fined for Disorderly Con duet After Reading; About LaPorte Horror. A. E. Larson, 5908 Green street; was fined $15 and costs by Municipal Court Judge Maxwell for disorderly conduct The complainant was Mrs. Elizabeth Evlson, 556 West Seventylninth street, who is the legal guardian for his daughter, Dorothy, age 14 years. Larson said that he had read about the many murders in LaPorte, Ind., and he became nervous and feared, that his daughter might meet the same fate. Larson, according to the testimony called at the Evison . .home and -demanded to see his daughter, and when Mrs. Evison told him he could not, fearing that he had been drinking, he called her ylle names and began beating on the door. Later he was arrested upon complaint of Mrs. Evison. BLISS KNAPP LECTURES LAST NIGHT. Boston Man Speaks Before Large Crowd In Church of Christ. Declaring that Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy has revived the lost spirit em bodied in the union of religion and healing as practiced by early Christian for 3,000 years after the crucification of Jesus. Bliss Knapp, of Bos ton, interested a large crowd at the Fourth Church of Christ, Scientist, Six ty-seventh street and Howard avenue. The lecture will be repeated again tms evening. "Christian Science," he said, " has realized its results by mental and spiritual healing, which is made possible by it theology. Contrary' to popular belief, there is no connection between Christian Science and hypno tism. It is not human will poorer that heals, but the understanding of God's presence which heals. FAIR AND WARMER ON SUNDAY, PROMISE OF WEATHER BUREAU. Heavy Rains Bring: Renewed Floods to Calumet District and Residents Again Don Rnnber Boots. Fair weather, with more moderate emperatures, is promised by the weather bureau for tomorrow. Today cloudy skies may be expected, but the storm period has passed away for the present. The wind, that has been coming briskly from the north, will shift about and will finally blow from southerly directions. In the Calumet and Kankakee river districts the water is so high that the "rubber boot foot" is the mode of locomotion that is de rigeur. Many Attend Pool Game. A large attendance greeted ex-Cham pion Charles Weston last night as he gave his second exhibition at Rogers pool parlors on Commercial avenue and Ninety-second street. Probably no pool player in South Chicago ever executed so many difficult and fancy shots as did the cowboy played last night. Last night was Weston's last night in South Chicago, but if the cowboy pool player ever plays in this territory again he will be assured of a hearty welcome. Koning Found in Detention Hospital. James Koning, 6145 Carpenter ave nue, who disappeared from his home several weens ago ana who was thought to have committed suicide be cause he was continually teased by his fellow workmen, was found yesterday by his mother in the Detention hospital where he had went of his own will after being sick. Koning is well known in the territory where he resides and worked as a forge operator. Elaborate Church Entertainment. The East Side Swedish Mission Luthern Mission church last night was the scene of an elaborate entertainment which was given under the personal direction of Professor G. A. Hulpman The proceeds of the affair were placed in the church treasury and they now have a nice snug sum in their little safe. The program last night con sistea or musical numbers, speeaches and other forms of entertainment. Sick First Time in Ten Years. Alderman Hunt of the Thirty-third ward is seriously ill at his home in Stony Island and is considered In a very dangerous condition. This is the first time' in ten years that the alderman has been sick. Like a Prince. "To said that if I bought that suburban house I could live like a prince. With malaria and automobiles, I'm in fear of my life." "Well," answered the agent, soothingly; "think of the princes who live in fear of their lives." Washington Star. Judge Not.

The following communication which was received at this office yesterday from the secretary of ' the Cecilian chorus is self-explalnatory shows the j Interest the members are taking in The Times: South Chicago. 111., May 7, 1908.

PHOHEY MONEY M ARE ARRESTED John and Vincent Butkus and Mich ael Szprewski, who were arrested yes terday as the result of Lieutenant Smith's finding a quantity of phony money on his person and in his home, were yesterday taken down town to Captain Porter's office where they will be put through the sweating process. Captain Porter, who Is at the head of the secret service of the city, will find out the facts of the matter, said one of the local sleuths today, as he Is one of the clererest quizzers in the game. The men were gathered in as the resun oi Jonn LJutKus giving a hoy a spurious nickel on Thursday. When asked who gave him the money the boy pointed out Butkus, who was later taken In. All three of the men, who were ar' rested, denied that they were coun terfeiters or agents for such people. It has been only a few months since Captain Dorman rounded up a gang of counterfeiters who were operating m boutn unicago ana these men are now serving long sentences for their crimes. There was two men in the gang who were never captured and there is a possibility that these men may be at the game again. STRUCK BY PASSENGER Thomas Warner Fails to Hear Approaching Train.

You are set in an age when the ma terial civilization of the world has been piled up to a gigantic height, to testify that there Is an order higher still; that as the soul is more than the body, and eternity than time, so the moral order is above the material; that justice Is above power; that justice may suffer long, but must reign at last; that power is not right; that no wrongs can be sanctified by success; nor can the immutable laws of right and wrong be confounded. Cardinal Manning. Force of Good Intention. Plain good intention, which Is as asily discovered at the first view as raud Is surely detected at the last, s, let me say, of no mean force in Jie government of mankind. Edmund urk. Grizzled Tar Living alone in his quaint little cot tage at 57 Ninety-second street, is Peter Little, aged 60, retired sea cap tain and a man who has been on the water since he was fifteen years old. This week the grizzled old captain was interviewed and he told a very interesting history of his life since he left his home for his career on the water. At the age of 15 years I left my home and parents at Perthshire, Scotland, and came across to America upon a cattle boat. Always being fond of sailing I decided to go upon a boat. and as soon as we entered New York City, which I did, being put at mast on the "Sweepstakes," a freighter then plying on the Great Lakes, for seven years. I continued to work at the mast and at the age of 22 I was made sec ond mate of the "Green River," an other freighter. After working as sec ond mate for four years I was pushed up another notch to first mate and 4CAPTAIX PETER LITTLE, worked In this capacity until I was 35 years old, when I was made captain of the "Scuttler," which was then carrying ore between Buffalo and Duluth. Captain Little worked as captain of the Scuttler for Beveral years until he became a half owner of the boat. A few years later he disposed of his Interest In the boat to a freight steam- , ship company and assumed captainship

BYE, BYE SKY PIECE ' i. East Chicago Judge Loses Lid in the Fierce Gale.

A lusty gust of wind blew the sky light off Judge William Reiland's court Thursday afternoon, during the fiercest of the downpour and Judge, Jury and constable, to say nothing of court spectators narrowly escaped drowning. The water came down in sheets and the wind roared about the four-foot opening which the removal of the skylight occasioned, in a manner that was at once chilling to the blood and terrifying. For a moment everybody thought the roof was going to blow off, but nothing of that nature occurred, and Judge Reiland and the court officers got busy moving desks and chairs to locations where they would be aa much out of the damp as possible. As Judge Ketianas ornce is not a Coliseum this was but indifferently ac complished and as soon as he composed himself sufficiently Judge Reiland wrote a search warrant for the missing skylight. It was found some distance from the place it usually adorns, in tact, with not a light of glass broken. A constable, with some assistance, managed to bring the delinquent into court, where after a lecture it was allowed to return to Its duties. THEY WILL TRAMP TO ILL. Frank Qulgley, Victor Paine and Gustave Jordan, three young men from Pryn Mawr, have announced that they will enter the ranks of the walking athletes and that their Initial trip will occur next Sunday morning, when the ycung men will leave Bryan Mawr on a long tramp to Aurora, 111. Each of the three young men have put up a forfeit of ten dollars and should any of the crowd fall to show up In Aurora or fag out on the trip he will lose his forfeit money. It is the intention of the young men after arriving in Aurora to take an Interurban train back to Chicago, where they sit down to an elaborate supper at the Auditorium. All of the young men are well known in Bryn Mawr, where they reside, be ing prominent In social and athletic circles. The trip will be made as the result of an argument in one of the clubs that no member could walk to Aurora without Qulgley, Jordan and Paine said It could be done and Sunday they will start out to demonstrate that I such is the ct.se.

Belgium has over 200 boot and shoe factories giving employment to more than 280,000 hands. i The Spelling Bee. Just one more reference to nature faking. Isn't it odd that no one has attacked the spelling bee? Tells Story of another boat sailing between Du luth and South Chicago. Becoming tired of the Great Lakes, Captain Little journeyed to San Fran cisco, wliere he took charge of another freighter and for three years he sailed on the Pacific and Atlantic. During this time he touched England, Scotland, Egypt, Africa, South America, and in fact every known seaport of navigation. After three years of sailing on the big waters Captain Little decided to come back to New York, where he was placed In charge of an ore boat on Lake Erie. Finally he landed in Duluth and later came into the South Chicago Harbor, where he made a large number of friends, many of whom are living here today. , Three years ago the old captain, then 57 years old, de cided to set up his winter quarters in South Chicago and since that time has been in the city every winter. Last year he sailed as captain of the Brigga, on of the large ore boats tra versing the Great Lakes, and this will bo the first year since the age of fifteen that he has not been on the wa ter. During his forty-five years of life on the water the old captain has saved sixteen lives and is certainly deserving of a Carnegie hero medal. It was during the year of 1893 when the "Moon," an ore boat, capsized Just off the shore of Duluth, and it was then that Captain Little saved three of his crew's lives and came near going down himself. Twenty-five years ago when In Liver pool, England, a small sail boat capsired a few miles out from shore and Captain Little swam from one of the ocean liners that he was on and res cued two brothers who were on the boat. Their names were John and Dan Scully. Later the two men sailed together Little as captain and Scully as first mate. This week the two old timers met, the first time in twentythree years. Each recognized the oth er at sight and Scully is stopping with the old captain at his South Chicago residence. At various other times the old cap tain has saved lives and seven years ago when in South Chicago, a little girl, Hattie Thompson, fell Into the lake at the Ninety-first street slip. Captain Little demonstrated his abil ity as a life saver by swimming several yards when the girl wai choking him from her deadly embrace. Captain LJUle has few equals in swimming, or did not have during his younger daysr but yesterday he said that he was getting old and didn't care

However, he con tinued, If I saw any one drowning I would not hesitate a moment, but would plunge in and try to save them. The grizzled old sailor further said he liked the water so well that he hoped when he died it would be on the water and if he did, his last wish would be granted. Several relatives of the captain are how living at Maywood, 111., although his parents are both dead. At the time he left his home in Scot land his parents controlled three large shipping houses and were quite wealthy. During his life on the Great Lakes Captain Little has been wrecked nine times, once at Buffalo, once at Detroit, three in the Duluth waters, once a few miles from South Chicago, twice off the Yokohoma harbor at Yokohoma, Japan, and once In the China Sea. Captain Little has several antique souvenirs of his cruises over the world which would make a novel collection for any museum. He also has three watches and chains which were presented to him at various times during his sea career by the mates and sailors under him. Although he will not be out on the lakes this year he will be at the South Chicago harbor to welcome every boat and to meet his old friends, the majority of whom are sailing on the Great Lakes this season.
