Details of tho Celebrations in the
Other Churches.
In many of the churches of tho city
yesterday special children's day ser
vices of an elaborato character were
held.
The exercises in the Second Presby
terian church were of a high order
and the decorations were very beauti
ful. All day Saturday Hon. L. A. Wat
res, with his Sabbath school class of
young ladles were engaged In arrang
ing the decorations. The organ was
trimmed with maidenhair ferns and
daisies. On either 'side and around
the pillars of the church were placed
large hemlock trees, those near the
organ towering up to the heighth of
twenty feet. The pulpit was a bank of
ferns and the effect as a whole was de
cidedly artistic.
James H. Torrey, the Sabbath school
superintendent, presided over the exer
cises. J. M. Chance directed the music
and was ably assisted by the orchestra
of the school and the church quartette.
The exercises consisted of the singing
of a number of beautiful songs by the
school and the primary department,
showed careful preparation. The re
sponses and recitations were well giv
en and the anthem rendered by the
excellent quartette composed of Miss
Black, Miss Gnragan, Thomas Beynon,
and Moses Morgan, was an artistic
gem.
The pastor, Rev. C. E. Robinson, D.
D., gave a short address to the chil
dren, choslng for his theme "In the
days of thy youth." The exercises
closed by the singing of "America"
and when the last stanza was reached
the entire congregation sang It In
unison with the cornet and trombone
In the orchestra leading In the melody.
The effect produced wns Inspiring.
After the benediction the orchestra
played as a postlude a march by Men
delssohn. FIRST PRESBYTERIAN.
The exercises at the First Presby
terian church were unusually interest
ing. Among the commendable customs
of tho Sunday school Is the awarding
of prizes to the scholars for merit In
attendance, chiefly.
The award is made on Children's
Day each year. Yesterday It was com
mented upon that one young man has
attended the Sunday school for near
ly ten years ot missing a single Sun
day. Others have the same record for
lesser periods. The exercises yesterday
were conducted In the main auditor
ium at 4 o'clock. ,
The decorations were splendid, dais
ies, garden and conservatory flowers,
with palms and fern backgrounds
made up a most refreshing scene. Su
perintendent of the school, Alexander
Dickson presided. Assistant Superin
tendent Lewis F. Mattes occupied a
seat Jn the pulpit. The usual number
of recitations, dialogues, solo selec
tions, etc., were given by the children
of tho primary department, Mrs. J. D.
Clarke, superintendent; Selden Kings
bury, assistant. Mrs. Thele favored
with a solo and the members of the
church choir assisted throughout. Dr.
McLeed delivered one of his happy ad
dresses In the spirit of the day. A
collection was taken up for the Sab
bath school mission of the denomina
tion board of education.

the school, with orchestral accompani
ment, bo pleased the audience that
many desired its repetition at the even
ing service.
G. F. Whlttemore wns warmly con

and Olive Jadwln surpassed herself,
which Is saying much.
From fifteen to' twenty children were

County Detective Leyshon Caused a

Annvornl Court Charges of Main

senger Hoy Who Was n Plunger
Causes All ot tho Troublc--IIo
Dropped His Week's Earnings.
In Alderman Millar's ofTlco there are
four nlckle-ln-the-slot machines which
are held for evldenco in court against
two men who are charged with con
trolling gambling machines In this
city. County Detective Leyohon Is
prosecuting tho cases and Is deter
mined thnt the city will be rid of
Buch' enticements for the weak ones'
purse.
The crusade was made Saturday and
was the result of a general complaint
to the county detective. The machines
are a big Improvement on anything
that has hitherto Inveigled tho nlckles.
They are really fine pieces of work
manship and ore very costly. Each
stands about six feet high and Is
fashioned much after the familiar
penny-weight machine.
WAY IT IS OPERATED.
The face Is of g!as3 which covers a
dial of many colors. You drop your
nlckle, turn a nlckle-plated crank and
the Indicator files around the dial fin
ally Btopplng at one of tho streaks of
color. The red and black colors pay
even money. The green five for one,
the white ten for one, and the yellow
twenty for one.
Six or seven ot tho devices were sta
tioned In as many hotels and a big
business was done. One messenger
boy dropped his week's earnings into
the slot and his mother promptly com
municated with County Detective Ley
shon. Mr. Leyshon and Constable Timothy
Jones began the raid Saturday morn
ing. Three machines were taken in
the forenoon and In the afternoon
Constable Jones succeceded In getting
another In a Washington avenue hotel.
But Constable Jones had trouble In do
ing so. He went Into the place and
formnlly demanded the machine.
MACHINE WAS REMOVED.
A lawyer who was present asked
by what authority he did so. Consta
ble Jones didn't have the authority In
black and white so he went to the
court house to get it. When he re
turned the machine was gone. Several
hours afterward Constable Jones fer
reted oui the machine In a barn In an
alley.
John Ruble, agent for tho Chicago
firm, was arrested Saturday and held
In $500 ball by Alderman Millar. Ho
furnished the bond. Frank A. Brae
mer, another agent, was held In $500
ball. Ho also furnished a bondsman.
The name of the Chicago firm Is the
"Kalamazoo."
VERY SPIRITED HEARING.
Threats and Damaging Charges Made
by Prominent Italinns.
A continuation of the hearing In the
case of Vllo Glrardo against Ferdln
ando Arlgonl on a charge of larceny
was held before Alderman Millar Sat
urday morning and several warm Inci
dents developed.
The case Is that which was reported
In Saturday's Tribune where Arlgonl,
It Is averred, spirited away four horses
and several carts which Glrardo claims
as his property. During Saturday's
hearing threats and very damaging
charges were made. As a result of the
threats Glrardo was held in $300 ball to
keep the peace and Arlgonl was requir
ed to furnish $500 ball to answer the
charge of larceny.
On the point, what shall be done with
the horses until the ownership Is de
cided In court? Alderman Millar found
himself a guardian. In Justice to the
owner the horses could not be kept
away from him, and especially at this
season when horses are a paying prop
erty. The fine legal problem here involved
was solved by Attorney John J. Mur
phy for the defense. Attorney Murphy
found a passage of law which provides
that the property shall remain with
the person In whose custody It was
found. Arlgonl will keep the horses.
SYMPATHY WAS MISPLACED.
