female panel thiefand her male accom-
plice were arroigned before Judge Dow
ling, for robbing an Italian named Par
tanza. In sentencing the prisoners the
Judge saidto the woman: Yours is a
crime ola class which is seldom brought
to the notice of the law. The persons
who are taken in by the panel thieves
are married men and strangers from the
country. 1t is evident you hired the
room for that purpose, and Mrs. MGill
says that you hired the room, saying you
were the wife offs police officer; without
giving his name. I have sent Sergent
Quin to the rooms, and he has found the
panel as stated in the evidence. There
is more money lost in this way than in
any other. Millions are stolen every
year by such robbery, and nothing said
about it, for the persons victimized are
afraid to make any charge, dreading tine
risk of exposure. I will now try and
stop you from this sort of business, and
the sentence Of the Court is that you be
imprisoned for six months" The fe-
male prisoner wept profusely. For the
assault upon PartanZa the accommplice
ofthe woman was sent to the Peniten-
tlary for n year.
The New York Herald of Friday last
gives an account Of twelve young ladies
who received The Catholic rite OF the
" Religious Habit" at the Convent of
Our Lady of Angels" Peekskill, NY.
The ceremonies, which were solemn and
impressive, commenced with high mass,
Rev. DR.. insolvency being the cele-
brant. At the conclusion of mass Very
Rev. Father James, OF st. Anthony's
Church, in that city, assisted by Rev.
Francis Dent, Of Hartford, Conn.,, pro-
ceeded TO the altar, and, after addressing
those present on the blessings and happi-
ness Of the religious life, as also on the
triple vow Of poverty, chastity and
obedience, proceeded to give the habit.
Before doing so, however, he asked
what they wanted, and all, with one
voice, and quite sudibly, responded.
He next asked If they were willing to go
among the infdels, and, if necessary, to
suffer martyrdom for their faith. They
replied, "Yes, with the help OF God"
They were then taken aside by the
Sisters, their flowing locks (which many
would give thousands 10 be the possess
sors of were submitted TO the action Of
the scissors, their gorgeous apparel was
nnS1 naT1a anA NhA ans.1 49, hahse -
the order substituted. Thus attired
they took their places as before for the
remainder of the ceremonies, the most
impressive of which Was when all lay
PROSTATE on the floor covered with a
black pail, the bell tolling a funeral
dirge, thus signifying their death to the
world and its ~vanites. The making of
the solemn vows by those who had
completed their trying novitiate next
follwed, and was deeply affecting. The
services concluded with benediction of
the Blessed Sacrament.
A circular has been sent US, which
purports to come from one Williams, of
AlleghenYci city, saying he had discovered
q cure for cancer, in " wild tea" which
had cured himself and others of that
disease.
The wild tea " spoken Of as so efica-
cious, we are informed, is the common
red clover. The foregoing announce
ment of "Mr. J. B. Williams, Health
Offer" etc, reminds US Of the magnani-
nous card of the " Retired Physician"
whose sand was getting short, that the
papers tell Of. No doubt Mr.. Williams
will furnish the " wild tea " for a small
consideration. Williams has probably
packed away for winter use, when he
knew clover might possibly be scarce
a barrel of the herb-whieh he would
like to sell 10 the afflicted
High tarifites do not all belong to the
Republican party. Mr.. Randall, of
Pennsylvania DenocratJ, stood up in
Congress the other day and opposed the
proposition looking to the immediate
reduction Of direct taxation and import
duties to a strictly revenue standard.
He argued that this was bold "heresy
to Pennsylvania, and therefore he and
his Democratic colleagues would vote
against it"
