A WOMAN named Anna Schluntz has
been held in San Francisco to answer
the infamous crime of procuress charged
against her. The Bulletin says:
"She has earned a living by keeping
houses of i'll rep1te in various portions
of the city, into which it was her
business to decoy young and unsophis-
ticated girls. Dressed like a rcspecta-
BILE woman, she has been in the habit
of playing her Infamous avocation on
the public streets, in the city cars and
on board the ferry steamers. 1t is
stated that she has succeeded several
times in insinuating herself even 10 the
very heart of families, and fastened her
clutches upon young and innocent vic
tins at the paternal freside. So wide
spread and general have been her
operations, and so notorious her char
acter in the city, she has been obliged,
of late, to limit her efforts to the work
of ensnaring girls from the country !;
persons unacquaiuted with the tricks
and stratagems employed by the wretch
ed old harridans who infest certain To-
calities and make traffic of female
virtue and beauty.
Anna Schluntz met Miss Murray in
one of the city cars. The girl had
come but few days before from the
vicinity of San Jose. and had found
employment, but desired to leave the
place where she was at work for anoth-
er, where the labor was not so difficult.
Mrs. Schluntz found means to address
her; learned that she had come from
the country but recently, and that she
was DESTROYS of finding another place.
According to her set programme of de-
ception, Mrs. Schluntz protested to feel
great interest in her, a young and un-
protected girl in great city full of bad
men and women. She was in quest of
just such girl, and if she chose to go
and live with her she should be pro-
vided with FALL the comforts of home,
have but little work to do beyond the
pleasant duty of keeping her company
The girl consented to, and did 90, to
the old woman's house. Arrived there,
the venerable creature informed Miss
Murray that, as she had large circle
of acquaintance in the city, she must
not be surprised if she saw many gen.
tlemen around the house at different
times. She would be required to per-
form only her light domestic duties
about the house and in the rooms, and
should always find a protector in her
Miss Murray considered that she had
found friend indeed, and was indus
trious in her efforts to please her very
agreeable and 'motherly' mistress The
victim was fairly entrapped, and she
had been in the house but short time
when she was improperly approached
and her ruin consumated by force.'
A STUDENT in one of the New Yorl
colleges was charged by the Facult,
with having a barrel of ale deposited il
his room, contrary of course to rule anc
usage. He received summons to ap
pear before the President, who said:
"Sir, | am informed that you have
barrel of ale in your ROOM"
"Yes, sir"
"Well, what explanation can yo'
make p
"Why, the fact is, sir, my physician
advised me to try little ale each day
as tonic, and not wishing to stop a
the various places where this beverag
is retailed, l determined to have a bar
rel taken to my room"
'1ndeed And have you derived an,
benefit from it p
"Ah yes, sir. When the barre
was first taken to my room, two week
since, 1 could scarcely lift it; now
can carry it with the greatest ease"
MEN who talk most think least; Jus
as frogs cease their croaking when
light is displayed by the wayside.
