A Young Wife in Trouble.

At a late hour Oh Tuesday night the
Office of the Chief of Police was visited
bv Young lady and male escort, who
represented that she had some vital in
telligence to communicate. The scared
and apparently aWe-struck faces of the
visitors impressed the officer with the
beliefthat he was about to be advised of
some terrible case of homicide, or mayhap
a wife disclosing a scene of barbarity or
secret murder. Nor were the first words
she uttered at all calculated to lessen this
impression.
II believe the report of an infanticide,
as having occurred on Cypress street, was

A Norwegian Giant.

Among a large party of Norwegian
emigrants at the-a depot this morning, was
one immense individual named Lars Oh
son, whose height is seven feet eight
inches, weight three hundred and twenty
two lbs., and age thirty-five years. He
is on his way to some part of Minnesota,
where he has brother living, and where
we understand he intends to settle down,
and by the way, he settled down on a
bench at the depot and could not be
persuaded to rise on his large feet, to
satisfy the gaping crowd, refusing, pleas
antly but firmly, to accept various offer
ings of n oney An emigrant agent, who
was with the company, says the giant, s
parents are of ordinary size, and that his
Minnesota brother is not an uneommonly
large man. Since his recent arrival in
this country he has been offered several
hundred dollars for two-weeks' exhibit

remain in that city, while others will pro-

An unwise legislator who should at
tempt to wipe out the debt in ten years,

succeed. = Chicago Post

Death OF Henry j. Raymond.

New YohK, June 1S.-The sudden death
Of Henry j. Raymond, editor.in.chief of
the Times, created a profound sensation in
newspaper and political circles. He
leaves wife, a son of %, and three
younger daughters.
The Post gives the facts of Mr.. Raw
mond's death, from the best authority. as
follows:
"Mr. Raymond, accompanied by his
daughter, went to Greenwood cemetery. ON
yesterday afternoon, for the purpose of
selecting family plat. He intended to
have the body of one of his children, who
died few weeks ago, removed from the
vault and re-interred. He returned to the
Times Office about o'clock, and remarked
to his associate editors that be never felt
better in his life, except slight feeling of
fatigue, consequent upon his losg walk
! through the cemetry.
"He left the Office about o'clock, and
proceeded to his residence, in West Ninth
street, where he remained until o'clock,
to recover from the fatigue of the after.
noon. Mr.. Raymond left the house about
9 o'clock, remarking to the members of
his family that he had an appointment to
attend political meeting. He was seen
shortly after, walking up Broadway, and
| one or two friends, who stood in front of
Wallack's theatre, noticed his elastic step
and general appearance of robust health.h
After attending the meeting, Mr.. Ray
mond returned to his residence, about IL
o'clock, and as soon as he had closed the
door after him, che fell heavily upon the
! floor. None of the inmates Of the house
heard the fall, however, having retired for
the night.
about 4 o'clock this morning, one of
Mr.. Raymond's children became restes,
and, upen becoming fully aroused, re-
marked that she heard some person breath
Ing heavily. The persons in the house
were Immediately awakened, and on de-
scending the hallway, Mr.. Raymond was
found extended on the floor, entirely un-
conscious, breathing heavily, and appar-
emily with great difficulty. lie was car

physicians sent for.
-Four physicians arrived soon after

medical aid. They also declared the case
to he apoplexy.
"Mr. Raymond fingered in an uncon-
scious state until 5 clock, when he died,
surrounded by the members of his family.
lie passed away apparently with but lit

The news of his death caused much ex-
element and very general regret
throughout the city. All the downtown
hotels and newspaper Offices displayed
their flags at half mast, as a mark of re-
spect.
The Associated Press to-day adopted
resolutions expressive of profound sorrow
at the death Of Mr.. Raymond.

The Leg Drama
One of the greatest shames in the shape
of an excuse for indecent theatrical per-
tormances is that which asserts that the
people decline to patronize the legitimate
drama. The same precise argument
might be put forward by any other model
artist exhibitor than the one who now con-
trolls the opera>house.
Moreover, the assertion that the legiti-
mate drama will not pay is not true.
Ii we are not mistaken, the engage
ments of Booth, Ristori, Kean, Murdoch,
Bandmann, and other first-class exponents
of the Legitimate drama, have always
crowded the houses in which they occur
red.
Admitting even that indecency pays
better than its opposite, this is no excuse
for the prostitution of Chicago's noble OPP
era house to its present uses. The same
precise reason is heard every day from
criminals, wlo urge that they steal because
II pays them better than honest Efforts TO
obtain livelihood. Every scamp who
may open some "anatomical .museum,"
or some model-artist exhibition, may
plead that he does not present Elizabeth,
or Mary Stuart, or Hamlet. for the reason
that 1t pays him better to pander to the in>
decent elements in human nature. This
thing of charging certain moral obliqsities
upon the public is as old as the career of
footpads and sneak-thieves. Each of this
class is always ready to refer his ime to
the world. in place Of putting the respons>
Utility where it belongs--in his own
vitiated nature.
1t is base libel on the majority of the
people of Chicago to assert that they pre-
fer lewdness, and the libidinous sugges-
tiyeness of naked women, to the presenta-
tions of the master exponents of the high
er drama. 1t is not the better class of
people who support these exhibitions. On
the contrary, the better class-those who
wish to preserve their daughters and sis.
ters from imbibing the poison which fills
the atmosphere of the opera-house like a
subtle perlume-give the performances
row in vogue at the place ofamusements, a
| wide berth.
1t is a noteworthy fact that not sinels
newspapers in Chicago has come forward
as the apologist of the degradation to
which the opera-house has been subjected
under its present management. Most OF
them. with that true currsh instinct which
necessitates barking at something, set up
a vigorous yelp at the Times; but none OF
them venture to contradict the charges
which We made against the opera-house
management. Our position is substanti-
ally that of the public. 1t is for
the interests of society that these charges
were made. 1t is true that the interests of
decency begin to have precedence over
those Of private ndiyidual.-Ch Chicago
