sHoP-LnTEE ARREsrED.-The firm of Hop
kins IL Cole, dry goods dealers, on the cor
ner of Fifth and Vine streets, have lately
lost many and valuable goods, through the
agency of shop-lifters. Among other arti-
cles, they have missed several pieces of silk.
Yesterday morning, a young woman came
into their store with Il fragment of silk hay
ing on it the trademark OF the firm, and
which they at once recognized as remnant
of one of the pieces stolen. She told them
she procured it from a German girl named
Mary Abelhart, who lived at Durmann's
Tavern, Cumminsville.
Information was lodged at tho Office of the
Chief of Police, and officers Worley, Hopkins
and Wilson proceeded to Culnminsville and took
the girl in custody. She at first denied all
knowledge of the stolen goods, but subse-
quently confessed to having the silk in her pos
session, and delivered it up. No other goods
belonging to Cole & Hopkins wero found with
her, but her trunk, filed with general assort-
ment of goods, supposed to have been stolen
from other places, was brought to the city. A
quarrel between Miss Abelhart and the girl
was the occasion of the latter giving informa-

Sensible Advice to Young Men.

The following article, from the Cayuga Chief,
contains so many valuable suggestions, and
such pithy advice, to our young men, that we
publish it, and hope that every person, beth
old and young-male and female-will care
fully read it, and then cut it to read the next
time they are afflicted and tormented with the
blues. Every word of it is true, and by re-
membering its injunctions you will be greatly
benefited
That never will do, young man! No use to
stand on the sidewalk and whine about hard
luck, and say that every thing goes against
you. You are not of half the consequence that
your talk would lead us to believe. The world
hasn't declared war against you. You are like
all the rest of us-a mere speck upon the earth's
surface. Were you this moment to 90 down in
the living tide, but bubble would linger for
moment upon the surface, and even that would
vanish unnoticed. The heart is full of hope
and ambition, but is not missed when it ceases
to beat. One such as you would not leave
ripple.
You are a coward-a eoward--in battle.
There is no fight in you. You have surren-
dercd without a struggle, and now whine be-
cause you are beatenl You are not yet worthy
of a triumph, for you have not yet earned it.
In garret, hut, and dripping cellar are ten
thousand heroes who would put you to shame.
They must toll or starve. The strife is des-
perate one with them, for they wrestle with
want, while ragged and despairing ones watch
at the lone hearth the fearful contest. Strong
men look death in the eye when their sinews
are strung by the wall of hungry childhood.
Shame on you! In the full vigor of health
and manhood, no mouth but your own to fill,
and no back but your own to cover, and yet
crcuching under the first scourgiugs of adverse
fortune. You know nothing of the storm, for
you have seen but the summer. One cloud has
frightened you, and you think you are hardly
dealt by. You will be lucky, if you find no
darker shadows across your path. Stand up,
young sir, pull your hands from your pockets,
throw of your coat and take fortune by the
throat. You may be thrown again and again,
but hang on. Put away the nonsense that the
world is all against you. 'Tain't 80. Your
destiny is in your own strong arm with un-
bending will, and honor and truth for your
guide, the day is your own.
No capital, eh? You have a capital. God
has given you perfect health That is an I'M
mense capital to start on. You have youth and
strength-all invulnerablo. Add will to do,
put your sinews in motion, and you will win.
A man in full health and strength should never
whine or dispair because fortune does not pour
stream of golden eagles into his pockets. If
you have no money, work and get it. Indus
try, economy and integrity, will do wonders.
From such beginnings fortunes have been
reared. They can be again. Will you try it?
Or will you wait for the stream to run by, SO
that you can walk dry shod into the Ell Dorado
of wealth? Or will you meet the waves def
antly, and be the architect of your own for
tune?
TRY--it is glorious TO conquer in the strife.

lCOMMUNICATED.1

Mr.. EDI1oR: perceive by your issue of
the date that you have, as well as MANY others
been misled relative to the case Of Alexander
Phferman, in which noHe was recently entered
in the Police Court. The charge, to follow the
language OF the summons, was "giying a
theatrical exhibition, on Sunday, April 24tb,
1897, without license" and lrds made in me
name Of the city Of Cincinnati and the offense
therefore could only be punished under the or
dinances of said city.
Although am well aware that a contrary
impression has gone forth, still there is not a
single ordinance now in force that provides,
nor IN any manner relates to Furnishing the
giving OF any sort of an exhibition on Sunday.
In contra distinction to any other day of the
week; and any one doubling this assertion can
easily convince himself of its truth by refer
ing to the general ordinance of 1857.
AS it was no error cf mine that the lepisla
ton of the city has been faulty in this matter.
and as Pfferman produced a general license to
give theatrical exhibitions, without designa-
tlng upon what days of the week they should
be so given, l was, from lack of law to sus-
tam the charge, compelled to order its dis
missal.
But it may not be improper for me to say, in
this connection, that there is q suiiciency of
law, as far as the State is concerned, to punish
this class of oifenses; and had tho proper af1i-
davit been made under the State law, without
which the case could not proceed, Pfferman
could easily have been convicted. The making
of an affidavit, however, is purely voluntary
act upon the part of the afiant, over which
neither the Court nor the Prosecutor has any
discretion or control; and as the prosecuting 2
witness in this case did not feel disposed to
pursue that course when it was suggested tu
him, no discretion was left me but to enter u
nOlle. ........ ..r.-
Being an Israelite myself, it can not be
claimed that religious prejudices warped my
Judgment, either pro or con, in the matter.

FREE NEGRoEs IN VrRoINIA,-A writer in
the Richmond Dispatch takes more sensible
view than usually prevails in that region on
the question of labor, This writer saws that
there is q scarcity of labor in Richmond, that
the productive intereOts are suffering from
this deficiency, and that white labor, al
though the best, cheapest, and most profta-
Bile, is not to be obtained. He advises, there
fore, that the laws be so modified as to invite
to the city the free negroes, who are now re-
PEELED, and to employ them.

A Card.

In the issue of the Daily Press, of this city
OF the 9TH inst, an article is found headed,
MURDERED BY SPlRITUALIsTs," in which IL is
stated that an old and eminent lawyer of this
city found his death through ga communion
ton from the Spirit world prescribing the pro-
per course of treatment for his recovery"
Although we regard this as N invasion of a
sanctuary which all regard as sacred, the smit.
ten private circle, yet that no improper i'm
preston may go abroad among the friends of
the beloved deceased, we state that some three
or four months since William r. Morris, ESQ
the husband and father Of the undersipned
was stricken with paralaysis: that under the
skiiliul treatment of Doctor Wright, an emi-
nent and old alopathic physician of Spring
neld township, and the medical adviser Of the
family for some fifteen or twenty wears. he
partially rallied from his first attack which has
deprived him of the use of his right side and
also OF speech; that he had subsequent Shocks
and when his danger became Imminent ad
ditonal medical skill was summoned in the
person of Doctor Tilden, of Sandusky, than
whom there is not in the State perhaps one of
more learning aud distinction. We say most
emphatically that this attack is most uncalled
m 1or-lnasmuch as its allegations are unsupported
by single fact, everything relating to the ill
ness and death of the lamented deceased having
been, including his medical treatment. governed
by the most approved skill and science.
w. II. MORRIS, JR.,
SARAH l.. MORRIS.
The authors of the above card assume that
our article of the 9th inst. had reference to the
demise of VIM. r. Morris, ESQ.,, and take u
to task for invading the privacy Of the home
sanctuary. We have only to reply that, in the
case to which we alluded, we have the best of
assurances that other treatment than that re-
commended by DR.. W., the ply in Mt
tendance, was most urgently objected TO by
that gentleman, and that, when he found the
friends of the invalid persisted in rejecting his
advice, he refused to call on the patient profes-
sionally, or in any other manner than as a
friend. We have said nothing dcrogatory to
the professional skill of DR.. Tilden, nor do we
know him in the case.
Since our article of the 9th inst. we have
been called upon by gentleman, a friend of
the afflicted family, and one who had, or
seemed to have, much faith in the new treat
ment to which the patient was subjected
Upon asking him what that treatment was, he
replied that it was simply the laying upon o,'
hands. If this be the spiritual specific for ali
the ills that flesh is heir to, it is as well the
world should know it, and save their doctors,
bills.
