THE LABOR SYSTEM.

The labor system differs greatly in the
three scandinavian countries. In Den
mark the prison labor is let to private
contractors; and the director general OF
prisons, MIR. Rruun, defends the system
as the best yet devised, being there, he
says, held 80 firmly in hand by the

CLARA LOUISE KELLOGG,
How She Eluded Persistent Admirer

-
young lady in one OF The interior
towns in the STATE OF Michigan, highly
accomplished musician, raVing distract
ed on the subj 9Ut OF opera in general,
and an aruehJ admirer of Miss Kellogg
| in particular, came to Detroit last week
| to hear her laVorite. She had heard the
great American prima donna before, but
was never SO bewitcned by her accom-
plIshments as now. After listening to
her oa Wednesday evening she deter
mined to have an interview with the
fair singer, and accordingly the next
morning dispatched Il note, penned with
deliberate care, and setting forth in
phrases Of delicate compliment her ad-
mIrauion of "Mignon," with all that the
name implied.
Miss Kellogg was not feeling very
happy this morning. In fact they say
she was more than chagrined at the un-
equiyocal success of Nine. Rosewald on
tue preceding evening, and the compli-
lhents which that lady received in the
newspapers of that morning, SO she
curtly replied to the bearer of the note
that she would receive no callers. ..
GA Friday evening the young lady
saw the object OF her admiration as
''Marguerite," and that magnificent inn
personatiou added fuel to the flames,
aud she determined that she must see
Miss Kellogg; and when woman will,
she VIII. Another note was dispatched,
baseeching only moments interview,
that the writer might III person express
admiration for one who could 50 nobly
interpret the divine art. But this note
met the late of the first. An interview
was coldly refused. Then was ilIustrI :
ed the force OF the saying about WomaH 8
will. The pluck and spirit of this Mlch,-
gan girl arose right up. and she said tnat
sue should see Miss Kellogg or perish
in the attempt.
The opera company were to go to Chi
cago by special train, leaving on sun
day morning. 70 the depot the young
lady repaired, but was informed that
the train would take no way passengers,
and was refused ticket. Then she be-
sought bystander to tell her in wb ch
car was Miss Kellogg. AT the door OF
the car she met minion in Top boots,
who sternly insisted that she had 10
business i'll there, but she brushed
MIN away as though he had been

sejourning in Philadelphia, he did not
Hesitate to woo and shortly mdrry a
charming young widow at the Cape,
"with very large fortune Of silver aud
fgold," to say nothing OF diamonds rich
and rare and snug little nest-egg of
$25 900 in Government bonds. In very
brief time, by skifltul management, he
contrived to possess himself of all her
bonds and other valuab.es, not even
emitting her costly wardrobe, after
which he deserted her, leaving the
heart broken woman almost penniless.
His fame next reaches us from the Pa
cific Coast. By willy misrepresenta-
tIons he ingratiated himself into the
confidence of a San Francisco bank,
from which he overdrew his account to
the tune OF $15, 600, and then, in the
flush OF victory. once more tripped it
across the continent.
Subsequently he was engaged, with
aecomplices, in robberies and forged
check transactions innumerable; but
still he walks the earth free man, and
snaps his fingers at the authorities.
During all this eventtul period the de-
tectives have hardly lost sight of him,
and the Chicago Tribune says that "if
any enc was anxious to have him
caught, he could easily have been laid
hold Of"
The criminal career of this man, like
that of many another Of the same char
acter, only awakens in the minds of peo-
| pie serious misgivings in regard to our
dete ctiye and police systems. With all
the facilities at their command, with
all the advantages furnished them by
the press and the tel graph. it is re-
markable how seldom they bring the
| noted criminal TO bay. Is it possible
that, while Justice is blind, our detective
system is both blind and deaf-when il
profits it so to b +?

"WHAR AM SEE?"

George Duncan--we nave mentioned
his name before, probably our readers
will rememb Der it-Well, George Duncan,
who, by the way, is a coloreu man, and
who was to have been married Wednes-
day night, didn't get married. He mad
everything arranged, rented his house,
and he and his intended moved, during
the day, the furniture into it. A stove
was needed, and George started to
get it.
While he was away, the young lady,
Miss Alice Bulger, seized upon lot OF
clothing which George had expended
$25 10 obtain for her, and lit out. George
thought she mad gone to some friends
residence to prepare herself for the nup-
tials, and himself did likewise. When
night cast her sable mantle upon the
earth, and the Pickering glare OF tallow
dips and Kerosene lamps began to shed
their lusler upon the window panes in
West Kansas, the friends of the bride
and groom tripped gaily toward the
churcu to witness the matrimonial
scene.
The church was one blaze of brillian-
cy, the coal oil lamps shedding lus er
upon all around that was transcend
emily beautiful. The preacher WAS
there, and many others. Long after the
appointed hour George came and was
alone; no Dlusning bride was hanging on
his arm. There was no rustic OF highly
starched calico at his side; his lace
wore woe-Degone look, while his un-
der jaw hung Gown like the ear of an
elephant.
When he entered there was a look of
blank of amazement depicted upon the
faces of the invited guests, and many
OF the female portion cried out in aston
isnment: ''Why, Ge rye, whar am sne?"
He shook his head III s0r oW, ana family
murmured: "Dean frens, she am gone

ACCOMPLISHED CRIMINALS

Science comes to the rescue of the law
in the detection and Apprehension OF
criminals, but il would seem that vice
keeps pace with science and laughs the
law to scorn. The press furnishes a
daily bulletin of the record of crimes,
but the perpetrators OF these crimes con-
tiDue in their unlawful course and are
seldom brought TO punishment. The
telegraph flashes the report of robbery
to every city and obscure village in the
country, but the robber cunningly
avoids the telegraph and eVades arrest.
The art of photography catches the fea-
lures of many a felon and supplies us
with the Rogues' Gallery, but the rascals
speedily disguise themselves and jeer at
photography.
With all the advantages which our
police and detective systems should de-
rive from these, vice still stalks boldly
through the land and rogues dwell se-
curely in our midst.

as anything recorded on the pages OF

operations from Chicago TO Cape May.
where he whiled away the summer hours
with the most fashionable society, dress
ing himself taultIessly, and creating
quite havoc among tho hearts of the
gentle sex there assembled.
