SCALDED BY BOILING SOUP. Inquisitive Child Is Very Badly Burned—Will Recover. Little Charles Bondell. a boy one and a half years old, living with his widowed mother at 107% East Third : street, was seriously burned about the head and face yesterday afternoon by pulling over a large pot of boiling soup on his head. The soup was on a gasoline stove on a barrell. The mother took the child to the city hospital, .where it was stated after an examination, that it had a good chance to recover.. Pace Was Too Fast. An inspection of the elevator which suffered an accident in the city hall re veals the fact that the elevator did not actually drop as was alleged, but that the trouble was caused by the extreme speed which the operator allowed the cage to attain. Inspector Sikes. who made the examination,. states that after the cage reached a speed of 800 feet per minute, a spring released the dogs and the cage. was brought to such a sudden stop that the occupants probably thought the cage had I dropped. A few minutes' work this-morning put the elevator back in ; running shape. .-■ -^^--*-. . !ii mm is J CHRISTIAN DROTIIKUS' AM MM EX. •JOY THEIR AXMAL • ', ".. \ " . < .JR.EUXIO.X .

In this respect the Christian brothers are to be found as one of the leaders, and we respect and admire them for the good work they are doing. Archbishop Ireland, who made the clos ing remarks of the evening, said: "It fills me with pride to see this gathering of Catholic young men. During the past year I have been In strange lands and have attended many gather!nas and banquets, but tonight I am happy. lam with my boys. My heart i 3 full. Their honest faces shine with happiness, and it fills 'me' with pleasure. Nothing manifests the high spirit of man more than Christian culture. From Christian education comes culture, and armed vtth that you go forth to fight the battles It tne world as soldiers. It is an armor worthy of any young man and enables him to reach the goal of success. ■ I am proud to say that I am a pupil of one of the first Catholic schools established in St. Paul. It was in 1855, in the basement of a building at the corner of Wabasna end Sixth, and the remembrances of those days are the happiest I have. One of my companions at that school Is still liv ing—Mr. Patrick O'Brien." - The archbishop in concluding his-ad dress which was an eloquent appeal to all young men to secure a Christian educa tion congratulated all such on being sons of America. No land he said gave great er promise or furnished grander oppor tunities for the future. The goal of success was in reach of all and with an education and a christian spirit could be attained.

Perm.of Chicago.delivered the address of the. evening, his subject being "The Loaves and the Multitude." The sermon was scholarly arid eloquent and decidedly, optimistic in. its. expression of faith in humanity. "Small resources must not be taken into account," the speaker said in part, "when a great work is to be done. ; Real strength does not lie in ma terial resources, in popular approval; it i lies in the good will of human hearts. There are unseen helpers for the high.-; purest thoughts of men. The more one studies life the more'one is convinced that faith is essential in the world to day. We see the few loaves, we see the great multitude,.we forget the power c* Christ, who lives not in heaven, but In each human heart.: - Man links him self with the spirit of God and all things are possible.' - Disdain calculation, ex pediency,^ policy, but send-out an appeal . to the sentiment of righteousness without equivocation,., without faltering and our work will be done." A business- session j will be held at the church this morning. Reports of the of ficers of the conference and of the churches, Sunday, schools and women 's societies will be" heard." This afternoon i there will be an election of officers. Rev. F. C: Southworth will deliver an address i on "The -Organization of Liberalism;" Rev. Charles E.

SIM CROOKS CAIGHT IX THE ACT OF FLEECING A VIC-' TIM THOUGHT TO BE PROM CHICAGO \ , They Worked "Double Leak Game and Used Cards and Other Confi dence Implements —Ono Vie-: rU:; tim Gets Money Back. Two men giving their names a*.o. iR.,. Hildred and Charles . Nelson were ar rested by the police shortly after 6. o'clock last evening, while in the act of fleecing a man named Bonn Peirson out of $295. .They were taken to the sta tion and charged with grand larceny. t At the station they were also identified by Christ Peirson, who hails from Wis consin, as the two men who "conned" him out of $140 yesterday forenoon with the aid of the "two-lock" game. • Chief O'Connor believes that in the ar rest of these two men they have cap tured a pair of well known confldenca men. According to the police. Hildred and kelson walked into Joseph Mayer's sa loon, 36 East Seventh street, shortly before 6 o'clock last evening accompanied by Bonn Peirson and another man by the nam© of Peirson who claims to livo at 841 Marion street. They had a drink together, after which they walked toward the rear of the saloon. Mr. Mayer did. not take any notice of them, as he did not know them. Suddenly, however, he heard a scuffling, as . if some one was fighting in his private of fice, and rushing back found Bonn Peir son holding one of the men and accusing him of having taken $396 of his money from him. Mr. Mayer stood in the door way so that they could not get away and Ids brother called Patrolman Sullivan who made the arrest. The money was • given back to Peirson, but not until after quite a bit of parleying between the of ficer and the man who had it. When the two men found that they were cor nered, one of them threw away a "flash, roll" which had played a part in the al leged card swindle but this was found' later and turned over to the police. When searched at the station the po lice found $32 in cash on Hildred, in ad dition to some counterfeit money. Peirson says he arrived from Superior, Wis., yesterday morning, and was wait ing for a night train for Chicago, when he was accosted by a stranger who, after finding out where he was going, said he was bound for the same place and pro posed that they walk around for a while. Later they met a friend of this stranger's A and wandered into Mayer's saloon with the above result. Wo Christ Peirson, who was done for the $140 yesterday morning, came to the sta tion and identified the men as the same ones. He says he was accosted by them and that they were going to show him *■ the new capitol. When they arrived there, they sprang the lock game on him and as a result he is now $140 poorer. His money has .not yet been recovered. ' Last night the rooms of Hildred and ' Nelson, on Jackson street, between Sev enth and Eighth streets, were searched by detectives and the locks, a detective star, a number of "fake" cards, two valises filled -with clothing and other goods were found and taken to the sta tion. The locks were identified by Peir son. The arrest Is considered a very val uable one by the police, and much credit is due Mr. Mayer for ills "quick, action, which prevented them from getting away and secured their arrest. They are sup-., posed to hail from Chicago, and are said - to have fleeced people all over the coun try. They win be arraigned In the police court today. :: L-4^- ■-.
