Syracuse, N. Y., is proud of having mayor who wears ear-rings. The reason that a baggage man recently hurled himself from a fourthstory window was that he was insane, and thought he was a trunk.

The Rev. Ezra Winslow, of Boston, whose forgeries and flight made a great stir several years ago, is still living in Buenos Ayres, He lived there awhile unidentified, under the name of Low, and became superintendent of a Sunday school but the church turned him out on learning who and what he was. He married a wealthy woman, became a successful politician, and is now living sumptuously. -.

Senator Sawyer is one of the mosi practical of rich men. He called his young daughters to him one^day and asked them as a testimony of their affection to him, to learn to make their own clothes and to cook a good dinner. The young girls cheerfully promised and not long after invited their parents and a few friends to dine with them. They cooked the perfect dinner themselves, and each wore a dainty gown made by their own hands. So pleased was the Senator that he gave to each of them a check for ^25,000.

THE SAFEST, SEAT.

The frequency of collisions on railroads has raised the question: Which is the place of greatest security in a railroad train The Railroad Journal gives as an answer: It is very well known that the car nearest the engine is exposed to the least dust, and that the rear of a train is generally safer than the front car. The safest is probably the last car but one, in a train of more than two ears that is, there are fewer chances ot' accidents to this than any other. If it is a way train at moderate speed, or any tttoift standing still, a collision is possible from another train in the rear in which the last car receives the first shock. Again, the engine and the front cars of a train will often run over a broken rail, or a cow, or stone, without detriment, while the last car, having nothing to draw it into the line of the train, is free to leave the track. Next to the forward car the rear car is probably the most unsafe in the train. The safest soat is probably near the center of the last' car but one, and in a very long train, in the centers of the last two or three cars to the last.. 1

Mrs. Mayburn's Twins by Jolin Habberton, author of "Helen's Babies," in press and will be published in a few days by T. B. Peterson A Brothers Philadelphia. It is a charming bit of work, filled to the brim with fun, frolic, and reality, and the author will have the thanks of every one that reads it, for there is in it a sweet under-current of pathos that lends a special charm to the whole story, from first to last. All who like to read about children, their mothers and the home circle, should get and read this truly absorbing and fascinating story. It is gem of the first water in a setting that adds vastly to its attractiveness. Mothers and fathers especially will find it a treat of the rarest kind, for it is a worthy companion to the reuowned "Helen's Babies," by the same author.

THE BETTER WORLD.

CHURCHES, PASTOB AND PEOPLE

Rev. H. C. Breeden has accepted the fall to the pastorate of the Christian church, and to-morrow will begin his work. His theme in the morning will be "Church-Going," and in the evening he will speak of "Progressive Christianity."

The Right Rev. Dr. George F. Sey mour, a distinguished prelate of the Episcopal Church, and Bishop of Spdng field, Ills., will preach at St. Stephen's church t©-morrow morning and night

Rev. G. H. Elgin, of Indianapolis will preach at the First Baptist church to-morrow.

Mrs. Clara M. Bisbee, a student at the Harvard divinity school, has been in stalled pastor of a Boston church.

Somebody has given $25 in gold to the faculty of Marquette College, Milwaukee, to be made into a medal for tbe "foremost student in manly piety."

The use of liturgy in promoting reverence is coming to be more and more appreciated. The irreverence of many unpremeditated prayers is often shock ing. Said a lawyer, who heard a prayer of a popular clergyman: "If he should address the judge of any court of com mon pleas in the style in which be addresses the Almighty, he would be fined for contempt of court."

Bob Ingersoll's father ^as a tremendous preacher. On one occasion he so vividly portrayed the horrors of the judgment day and the tortures of hell that the whole audience (which came some miles from the country around) was swayed like trees by a strong wind, strong men wept, women wailed, and nearly all were upon their knees. He commenced speaking at one o'clock, and when the people left the church the sun was setting.

Christ Church, Eau Claire, W iscousin, has a Sunday school which differs materially, both in organization and management, from those which are in vogue elsewhere. The parish is anew one, and the Rev. Joel Clarke is rector. Among the four or five hundred persons to whom he ministers, Mr. Clarke has not been able to find any tp whom he is willing to commit the important work of teaching the children. Therefore he has begun his school without any teachers other than himself. Instead of having the children grouped into classes, as is cus tomary, they are placed before him, and he teaches them from the desk. In four Sundays after beginning this school, he had an attendance of thirty girls and forty boys. This plan provides a far more valuable education for the young people than is possible when the school is supplied with ignorant persons who would be glad to teach if they only knew how. Both in the backwoods Sunday schools and in those where a higher degree of culture might be expected, it is often the case that men and women of dense ignorance expound to children Scripture passages and doctrines of which they comprehend little or nothing. The advantages of having an edu cated clergyman to do the work instead of committing it to such blind guides are incalculable.

HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING TSiAIL.

THE BANK ROBBERS.

WHY THEY ARE OUT ON BOND.

INTERVIEWS WITH PROSECUTING ATTORNEY KELLY AND W LIEUT. VANDERVER.

From mis morning's Express. Yesterday evening the reporter of the Express, swing Albert J. Kelley walking down Wall street, stopped him and in terviewed him about the late bank rob hers who so skillfully got away with the fifteen hundred dollars belonging to Patrick Shannon. Mr. .Kelley very cheerfully gave the following account of the facta in the case and answered very readily all the questions asked.

Tbe reporter asked—Why did Simmons and Herat get oat on bail when there was such an appearance of their being the guilty parties?

Mr. Kelley said—The reason that they got out on bail was becanM the 8tste was not ready for trial, .as it did not have sufficient evidence to make a case again«t tbe men. It was better that they should get out on bail than to be tried at present, for a trial right away would certainly result in their acquittal, was better for the State that all the evidence that could be got should be hunted op and produced before going into a trial. "But," said the reporter, "these men were indicted by the grand jury, and how does it happen that they found a bill ao readily?"

Mr. Kelley answered—It was very easy to get a bill against these two men, as it requires but little evidence to hokl a man. It was so with this case, but whtn tbe evidence was all in th«re was not sufficient t* keep the men in jail, for they had plenty of money aad could furnish bail. The evideoce produced before the grand jury waa all circumstantial and was not sufficient to convict any body of any Crime. You see, convicting a man of a crime is an entirely different thing from merely having him indicted by a grand jary. In thin case the State is compelled to prove conspiracy to rob the Dank, and there is no evidence to show who belonged to ir, or when or where it wss formed. There wan no money fonnd oo I he pen-on* of either of these men that belonged to Shannon, nor were tither ol these men seen taking the money from the bank. And there is do evidence that I know of, that these men are thieves, although they may be.

Reporter—Coo Id you hunt up evidence against these men and discover who they are?

Mr. Kelley—We have used all the menns in our power to try to find out who the aaen were, and to'get the other but so far have failed io discover anything of importance about the robbers. Went to Indianapolis, and to Chi capo at my own expense, and had the po lice authorities of both cities assisting me to discover the guilty parties, but #o far they have failed to discover them. 1 had inen sent to various other places to find out who tbe men were, but nothing was found. I could not sho* these men to be criminals, or else it wonld have been much easier to have held them and made them pnt up a higher bail for their appearance.

Reporter—What do you think will ,be on it he Kelley—I do not know yetT We' are still loosing up evidence. I have not fixed a day fdr trial vet, because when the trial tskes place I don't want it to be a iaroe. It is my doty to get sll I csn sgainat these bank robbers, and I would not like to go into the trial without feeling able to convict the two fellows ar rected. I could not help letting the men out on bail, us I wss not resdy for trial, and they showed good reasons for being let out on bail. The judge let the men h'sve btil, ss it wss bisdny to do, ttoder tbe circumstances.

Reporter—Do you know anything about this man John Haley, who brought tbe money which w«a put up for the bail.

Kelley—I don't know anything abmt the 'man. He claimed to be from New York. He was a str«ncer in tbi* city, snd was a friend to Hunt and Siiumons. He appeared to be very smart, snd had plenty of money. He said that the state did not have money enough in its treas ury to convict his friends on the little evidence it had in its possession. From this I inferred that Simmons snd Hunt intend to make a strong fight against tbe state, snd to nee plenty of money, if it necessary. They have ^ready employed some of tbe best criminal lawyers here to assist in their case. So you see the stste will have oo easy task to convict them. And even if we had plenty of good evidence, I know it would be no easy matter to send these men to the State's Prison, for they have plenty of money, and will not hesitate to spend it to clesr themselves.

Reporter—When will the matter come up again. Kelley—I don't kno# cticilr. A day fixed for them to appear, and if they don't come to time they will forfeit their bond.

Reporter—It is rumored tbst Shannon has got his fifteen hundred dollsrs back from the robbers, and that Haley, the man from New York, gave it to him. Do yon know anything about it?

Kelley—I don't know anything about the fifteen hundred dollars. I don't know whether Shannon has got it back or not. I have not talked to him about it, so I do not know anything about it, except that there is a rumor that bis money wss returned hjm.

Tbe reporter then left Mr. Kelley, and went to the police headquarters snd interviewed Lieutenant C. E, Vandever.

Reporter—What do yon know about tb«*e bank robbers? Vandever—I arrested them, and I think that they are the gnilty parties, but tbe trouble of the thing to convict tbem, I have werfeed hard io this esse, -.mi don't like for' thepe .men tu go five now, but I doft'l &ec what can be done, as tbey are now oat oo h,»ll. I have tried hard to find who these men are, but have wot been *ble to do so.

Reporter—What do yon think shoot the eeideoee against the men? Is it my strong?

Vandever—Yes. 8oae of the facte are strong, bat all the evidence is circumstantial. Yon know we would have to prove conspiracy before we oonld convict both of these men whom I arrested, and I don't know whether we oenld do this or not. I wonld have liked to have ssnt tbeee two bank robbers np as long ae tbe law allows. It would have been a credit to our city aod iu officers to do so hat I don't see what can be done hat what has -r t-

i,

already been done. We'have tried our beet to send tbeee fellowc,"over the road," bat have failed so far, iind I do not know now what will be done, as tbey are now oat on bail.

Reporter—Do you think the men will be here on the day set for their sppearance?

Vandever—I don't knowo. I suppose they will, or their bondsmen will suffer. I hope that I will get to look into the case more, as I think that lean find out more about these men. I think that they are guilty, but can it be proved? That is the question. I don't know where these men went to, when tbey left here. I suppose to meet their friends. Thev have the advsntsge of us now, as they have plenty of money aod good lawyers to back tbeoo, so they csn make a mighty stiff fight when the trial comes off, and I can tell you these men are no cpmmon thieves, They know their business, and won't be caught very easily.

Mr. Vandever then excused himself, as he said he had some work to do which required his immediate attention, and the Express reporter, after taking a drink at the station house pump, pursued the even tenor of his wsy, thinking whether if a man had plenty ot "salt" couldn't he catch a bank robber by putting some of it on his tail
