By A handsome Canadian girl, dressed
from top to toe in mems clothes, was ares
| ted in Detroit the other day for disregarding
the statute made and provided against I'M

which she thought was little way beyond

| Bea. The men who do the most for man
kind are generally overlooked in the distri-
button of earthly rewards. On the 9th of
May, 1910, Demetrius Augustine Galitzin,
son of Prince de Galitzin, one of the first
nobility of Russia, died in poverty, at Lo-
retto, Pennsylvania He left the princely
halls of his ancestors, and spent thirty years
in rude log-cabin in America, almost deny
ing himself the comforts oflife, that he might
devote his days to religion and assist the
poor and distressed. Few have left behind
them such examples of charity and benevo-

have delicate tastes; one of them, few
days ago, carried off four thousand cigars.
Nothing appears TO alarm the miscreants but
the occasional talk of Vigilance Commit
tee. The terrific certainty and expedition
with which crime is discovered and punish
ed by these popular courts chill the heart of
the highwayman, and palsy the hand of the
assassin.
