WHOPS THEATRE ARRESTED

The reniarkabl© scene of ,580^ pcrson^. boirig escorted to a poliee-sl-atioii: created • coiasiderable. escitetiient in Russia recently. \^ Thile a Pofisil drama was being played in the; theatre at Bendzin, Russian. Poland, the Chief of Police entered at •tiib head of a strong force of his men and ; declared that everyone present including spectators, actors and scene-shuters, was under arrest. Air were taken to the police-station, \rhere they were questioned for hours. They wore only released next morning after their identity iiad been established. All were informed, however, that they would be prosecuted for ; machinations dangerous to the State- : The, drama, it, seems, was being performed despite its * prohibition by the censor.

SCIENTIFIC BURGLARS

After working1 harXl all night burgiars who broke into, the office of Messrs Charles Heeley, Ltd., wholesale bpttlers, of Aston^ near Birminghaio./secured very little booty and

lost their tools. Tlie fact that tho premises had been broken into was discovered iri the morning. Two safes, one weighing a ton and tho other 7 cwt, were cut through and the ba.cks taken entirely out. The heads of over 50 rivets were removed, and a hole was drilled through chilled steel three-quarters of an inch thick, dovetailed into the sides of the safes. A sum ol'«£18 and a gold watch, however, was all the, thieves got for their tremendous labors, and they Jeft untouched £80,000 worth of securities. A number of scientific tools were left behind them. Although the offices aro close to the road, and the thieves must have worked all night, no one heard them, and no arrest has been made.

DEFIANT MONK

Tho eyes of tlie Russian people are fixed on Czaribsin; where the monk Jliodor continues to defy both the Holy Synod and the Government. The Holy Synod ordered Bishop Her-' inogen to remove him from the monastery and to hand, him over to the lay authorities, but the bishop telegraphed that the use of force would be followed by tragic circumstances. Accortiing to telegrams from Czaritsin, notwithstanding the large numbers of police and Cossacks, Iliodor's; tervent followers, numbering tlious-J ands, have sworn not to allow his-; arrest, and they are prepared to; lay down their lives if need be. Regular rounds by torchlight are made into vthe innermost, recesses of the monastery in order to make sure" that there ar© no police concealed ihere.j Ropes have- been suspended outside tlte church from the belfry for the purpose of raising an immediate alarm in the event of, ah incursion being attempted. Three doors leading to th© sanctuary areheavily bolted and barred, and a subterranean exit has beeiv, to erisible \ Iliodor tb escape in the last extremity. The* monk is ill, and spends the? nights in his coll,, but appeal's in chuitih daily, when the building becomes so thronged 'tihat it is imppssible' to raisie a hand to make the sign of the cross. The defenders of; the monk are obtaining their meals from the monastery kitchen, and the refectory is overflowing. Soup and, bread-'-i^,served in the opbn' air. ;
