The police nipped a fellow who gave his name as Bill Hughes about 3 o'clock yester day morning as ho was trying to force the door of Parks & Son's store on Main street. The stores of J. Sullivan , on Broadway , and J. Goldberg , on Main street , had been en tered but a short time before , nnd Hughes is without doubt the burglar , as a small quan tity of Jewelry stolen from Goldberg's place , was found In Ills hat , nnd eomo old coins taken from Sullivan's store wcro also found on him. At Sullivan's entrance was effected by breaking out a light of glass In the front door. The rear door was Jlrst ti led , and a scantling was found there that had been . , unsuccessfully used to butter down the door , f which was scoured by three bolts , only ono * of which was broken. 1 The property stolen did not amount to much , as far as can be learned. At Goldberg's the thief found but little suited to his fastidious taste , and left things about as ho found thorn. The police are of the belief that Hughes is the same party who burglarized the bankrupt ehoo store on Main street Friday night. He was partially intoxicated when arrested , and appears to bo a llttlo "off" in the upper Story. Ho will have a hearing l/o forejudge Ayles- worth this morning , " .

Suspicion Late Council Notes Personal Pnrnfrrnplis Minor Mention. Dedication of St. Peter's. ' The dedicatory services of St. Peter's ' church took place yesterday morning in the presence of several hundred deeply inter ested people. The day , which was as near perfect in could bo desired , had much to do with the largo attendance. Long before the doors of the handsome new edllta ) were thrown open the people began to assemble , nnd when at last the house was opened it was but a very few minutes until every scat was taken nnd all available space occupied as standing room. The ceremonies wcro of a most Impressive character and occupied two hours. They were conducted by Rt Rov. Bishop Cosgrovo. of Davenport. Rev. B , P. MoMcnomv celebrated solemn high mass , with Rov. John Daxachcr as dcason and M. T. SchllTinachcr as sub-deacon. Rov. Boni face Vorheycn , O. S. B. , of St. Benedict's college , Atchison , preached the sermon of the day , Muslo was furnished by the combined choirs of tha two Catholic churches of the city. Hereafter mnsi will bo said In the church every morninp nt 8 o'clock. The first confessions will bo heard next Saturday af ternoon. The usual Impressive services of Palm Sunday will bo held in the church next Sunday morning. Last evening Rov. B. T. McCarthy , of St. Phllomcna's ' cathedral , Omahii , delivered a lecture to show that St. Peter was in Rome and ruled there as its first bishop. It was a masterly address and listened to with the greatest interest , Broad Christianity. Yesterday morning Bishop Perry preached an excellent sermon at St. Paul's Episcopal church. Ills theme was "Personal Chris tianity. " Ho departed from the usual method of bishops and gave a brief sermon , with no attempt to make the greatness of the discourse lie in its length. Ho crowded much thought into the sermon , and yet kept crch distinct , his statements being clear and his illustrations helpful. Ho' chose as his textual basis passages from the old and new testaments , in ono of which Moses prays that ho may bo blotted out rather than have Israel as a nation lost. Another in which Paul expresses a like willingness to bo n castaway , if need bo , rather than have his people go down In their sins. Ho contrasted the broadness nnd generosity of such a feel ing with the selfish view so often taken by oven Christians. It was scriptural to urge men to seek salvation of their own indvidunl gain. Man was so engrossed in his own per sonal affairs that it jvas necessary to awaken the individual to a'realization that ho is in danger ; that thcio was much for him to pain by turning to the light : that there were re wards awaiting him. This view of chiis- tianity would , however , if looked nt alone , seemingly Justify tho' wordly wise in repudi ating such a system of religion as too selfish to bo of divine origin. Christianity embraced more than this. It consisted of not merely an appeal to one's personal , selfish motives , but inspired men to reach out for the like saving of others. Tlio Police Force. A few chronic kickers are disposed to com plain if anything out of iho way happens , and there is no policeman present. The wonder is , taking into consideration the length of the beats , that they are on hand as often as they are. During the day there are two patrolmen. One covers the territory be tween Geiso's brewery nnd the Rock Island depot , a distance of about Uvo miles , and the other patrols that part of the city lying be tween the transfer nnd the cprner of Maine and Broadway. At nicht lucre are five pa trolmen , three on Broadway and two on Main _ street. In addition to these , there is the captain and the city force and the mer chant's poiice. Since the erection of the electric light towers the police have stood a much better chanoo of detecting crooked ness , nnd the city has been enjoying compar ative quiet as far as burglars are concerned. The work of the past few nichts , however , shows that the crooks are not asleep by any means , and their plan has been to do do their work at "lunch time , " shortly after 12 o'clock , while the cntlro night force Is at the station , enjoying their midnight meal , and their beats are entirely deserted. This is something that .Is manifestly wrong , nnd is a result of management that should ho Imme diately rectified. Under the present way of doing business the city Is loft wholly without police protection for on hour in the middle of the night , and criminals show that they are not Ignorant of the fact. On Saturday night the aid of a certain patrolman was asked to assist in capturing a lawbreaker who was known to bo In a certain locality. Ho replied , "Wait till I go up and cat my lunch. " When he returned the search was fruitless. The force is not composed entiiely of such men , but there are some of them , and their presence Is little clso than n drawback to those who arc in every sense cfUcicnt ofliucrs and who take pride in reducing lawlessness in the city to a minimum. At the meeting of the new council this evening it Is cxpcctod that the mayor will appoint members to fill vacancies now exist ing on the force and other places that will then ba declared vacant. It seems to bo the general impression that the new force will differ very materially from the old one , and a change In boino instances is very desirable. There are some men now on the force who could not BCO a crook if ho was thrown at them , and the bettor protection of the city demands their removal and others substi tuted who have at least average detective ability. Session ol' tlio Council. Before the usual hour for closing council proceedings Saturday night the mayor or dered the marshal to atop the clock and busi ness proceeded. City Engineer Tostovln reported grading estimates of R. C. Borgcr , J. W , Kelley , Owen Bros , , Michael Calllhan and C. R. Mitchell , and partial payments were ordered according to contract. The official bonds of the following officers were read and approved : M , F. Rohrer. mayor ; C. R. Hammer , auditor ; G. A. Holmes , city solicitor ; F. H. Guanella , mar shal ; F , W. Spetmart. cltv treasurer ; F. Stlmpson , city engineer ; L. W. Patten , city assessor , and W. S. Amy , city welghmostor. There was some debate as to the sufllclency of the bonds of the engineer and assessor , the claim being made by Alderman Lacy that the amount was not sufficient to cover possi ble loss to the city by wrong assessments and errors in engineering , on account nf which litigation might follow , The matter was laid ever and the ordinance relating to the matter will doubtless bo changed during the present year. The report of the city solicitor relative to the matter of securing a street to connect Glen nnd Park avenues was read and laid over , as was also the petition of interested pioperty owners on those streets. A petition for grading Sixth and Seventh avenues from Tenth to Twelfth streets , Thir teenth street from Broadway to Third avenue , Ninth street from south sjilo of Ninth avenue to south side of Twelfth aveuuo and sidewalks on north side Of Fifth -avenue from Seventeenth to Twenty-fifth streets and on both sides of Park avenue from Pomona street to Fulraouut was presented and referred. A petition was presented reciting thnt Messrs. Dolson St Mulroy ura subcontractors unkcr Michael Calllhan ; . that ho refuses to pay them according to contract and asking that sufllc-lcnt bo hold out at the final settle ment with said Callihan to cover the amount of this subcontract. Referred to city solicitor with power to act. ' On motion the deed offered by Mrs. Amy to lot on whluh the new engine house has been built ; vas icf used , as Its form does not cirver the terms of the purchase. The matter was'rcfcrrcd to the city engineer am ] solicitor with authority to make tinal settlement. A petition in which Jesse M. Smith states that there Is a clerirnl error In his nldowalk tax , was read , and the error was ordered cor rected , Resolutions commendatory of the ability , honesty of purpose and personal Integrity of the outgoing aldermen Danforth , < Keller , Wells nnd Hammer wpro presented byAl- tlcrmnni.iM5 , They wcro ordered spread upon the minutes. The council then a < ] ] 6urnod and reconvened as a board of health. Mr. Amy appeared and laid a complaint on iccount of the condition of the lot at the In- [ crscction of Pcnrl and Main streets. It Wnsi referred to a special committee consisting of Aldermen Lacy an Ktiepucr. The condition or the alloys of th6 cll.V was discussed a\ length , the result of which was that the marshal wa < < instructed to notify property owners to clean at the following lilaccs , or the work would bo done by the city ind cost charged to the abutting property : From Kirst street to Fifth street ; the alloy connecting Main nnd Pearl ; and between Main and Fourth street to Ninth avrnuo. Three days from date of notification is the time given in which to do the work. Adjourned nt 11 : CO o'clock p. m. Money nt low rates on flrst.class farm security.

Story of Her Life Told in Her Books Never Fell in Love With R Man. All of literary Boston is talking of and mourning for Miss Louisa M. Al- cott. Few women in the ranks of litera ture have boon so generally admired , so kindly criticised , so universally be loved and few will bo bo sincerely mourned. The story of her childhood and early youth has already been charmingly written in "Little Women , " incorporated in the character of " .Too , " whoso escapades arc , to a certain extent , founded upon facts. From the father , Branson Alcott , the sago of Concord , familiar to most people ple in his connection with the great transcendental movement in New Eng land , she inherited her quickness of perception , clearness of reasoning , and brilliancy of intellect ; while fiom her gentle , cultured mother she inherited the sweetness of womanly tenderness and devotion which characterise not only her books nnd storiesbut her man ners and life. The atmosphere of this refined though humble homo was edu cation in itself , nnd the plan of study was by reading and conversation rather than the committal of asbigncd lessons. At the ago of bixtcen Miss Alcott began teaching a little school of twenty members , and continued to do work of this kind in various ways for fifteen years , although extremely distasteful to her , and nt the same time she began writing stories for publication. She was fond of relating to her friends a little - tlo amusing experience of howon acold , stormy winter morning the saw a huge yellow poster announcing the publica tion of "Bertha , " ono of her early stories. "I stood before it a long time , ' she said , "lost in soli-glorification , with my cheeks glowing with pride and my heart burning with ambition. 'Ah ! this is fume , ' I said to myself , as at last I turned reluctantly away , and found my self late for school and half frozen with cold. The scholars held high carnival that day unrobukcd , and were excused at an early hour that I might bring my sisters to gaze upon the yellow poster , the Hag of my victory. When wo ar rived wo found the paper loosened from the wall and we surreptitiously seized the fragments and bore them homo in tri umph. " The story of her leaving the homo circle to seek her fortune in Boston is graphically pictured in her book en titled "Work , " in the character of Christer. With a small trunk filled with very plain clothes and $20 in money , but with perfect health , true principles , and by teaching , writing , and oven sowing , maintained herself until success came. These who are fortunate enough to have the entrep of Theodore Barker's famous receptions in Boston , where congregated a galaxy of brilliant men and women , such us Emerson , Sumner , Phillips , Garrison , Mrs. Howe , may re member the tall , vigorous girl , with a mass of dark , softhairframing a strong , resolute , frank , earnest face , with bright , eager , gray-hluo eyes , and firm , tender lips , sitting quietly in some corner listening with animation and interest. Her would the host invariably seek out , and , with a hearty handshake nnd kindly smile , would ask , "Well , how goes it , niy child ? Keep your heart up , Louisa , " and the Concord dreamer , Emerson , would eventually find himself drifting into the retired corner for a little chat with this shy girl , for the friendship between them was beautiful and touching , Ho it was who helped her find Goethe , her life-long admired author. "When Emerson's library was burning in Concord , " relates Mis Al cott , " "I went to him as lie stood with the firelight on his strong , sweet , face , and endeavored to express my sympathy for the loss of his most valued posses sions , but ho answered cheerily , 'Never mind , Louisa ; see what a beautiful bla/.o they make ; wo will enjoy that now. ' Tlio lesson was never forgotten , nnd in the varied losses thnt have comate to mo I have learned to look far some thing beautiful and bright. " At Theodore Parker's , too , she hoard the earnest agitators of the slavery question discuss their hones and plans , and her generous , helpful spirit sought to identify itself with so grand a mis sion. Accordingly , on the breaking out of the war , she found an open and accessible a\onuo for her activity in the work of a hospital nurse , whoso exper iences are faithfully recorded in "Hos pital Sketches. " "I had never known a sick day before I wont into the hospital , and I have never known a wolf ono since I caino out , " said Miss Alcott , and no ono ever hoard her complain of the discomforts arising from tins sacrifice of that which is only less in value to life itsolf. Mr. Alcott arranged a collection of the short sketches and stories his daugh ters had written and took them to Air , Roberts , of Boston , for publication. The collection was refused , and a re quest made for a long story for girls , in compliance with which "Llttlo Women" was written , the story which brought fnmo and money both to the young au thoress. Miss Alcott'B works are house hold words , and joquiro no recapitula tion hero. Sulllco it to say that for their copyright she has received something like a hundred thousand dollars. Shq wrote low of her stories in Con cord , which , in spite of its liistorical traditions and literary atmosphere , shu denominated "n sleepy old town ; " hut lied to Boston , hid hen > elf away under the eaves of some quaint little boarding liouso , mid with an old atlas on her knees for a desk waited for' an eastern wind of inspiration and a rainfall of ideas. Tliebo she recorded wjth amae- ing rapidity , working sometimes four- teen hours n dn.V , nnd when her story was finished film would emerge from her lien cross , hungr'y and tired. Tn person Miss Alcott was far more prepossessine lUtxn her portraits would indicate. 'TJio brave , bright , restful face , with its dork framing of heavy brown hair ; j'the intorc8tcdmo'rr , .v , laughlnc eyes , nnd the firm , strong lips , all touched by an expression of great kindliness and gentleness , and continu ally brightened with" smllo as frank nuu sunny as ( i child's , make n picture which cannot bo reproduced oven by the words of n tribal loving friend. Miss Alcott found in mon friends and companions rather than lovers , and used to f > ay : "I think I hnvo n man's soul In a woman's body , for while I am continually falling in love with pretty girls , I have never scon a man I could love the least little bit. " But in her dnvqtion to the baby namesake that came to her from over the Bea she was nil womanliness ) tenderness , and mothorllnoss , and her thoughtful care for her father was beautiful to witness. Of all her charms , I think the dearest and best was her exquisite tenderness , a hint of which may bo gleaned from the little poem written at her sister's death , and never published as her own : A child her wayward pencil drew On the margin of her book Garlands of llowcrs , dancing elves , Birds , butterflies nnd brook. Lessons undone and piny forgot , Seeking with hand and heart , The teacher whom she learned to love Before she know 'twas art. A maiden full of lofty dreams , Slender and fair and tall A- < were the goddesses she traced Upon her chamber wall. Still laboring with brush and tool , Still seeking everywhere Ideal beauty , grace nnd strength In the dlvino despair. K A wife low sitting at his feet , To paint with tender skill The hero of her early dreams , * " Artist , but woman still.

There was a great gathering of liter ary people and personal friends nt Miss Alcott's funeral , nnd the mourning was sincere. _ L The ground for carrots nnd parsnips should bo free from small stones.
