that crime IL terribly upon the increase
In our midst. Scarcely day passes
that the reporter does not hear OF some
CASE or SCANDAL,
wherein parties almost above suspicion
are openly aud directly charged with
some gross breach of public aud pri'
vaio morals and decency. Within the
past week THE HERALD has referred
to no less than three or four cases OF
this kind, and the names Of the guilty
parties In each instance have only been
suppressed to save their relatives aud
friends from being

In manner that could only result In
further pain and modification to in

him of the occurrence, and gave

hotel in reference to the individual, he
posted himself at the entrance to the
diningroom and eagerly scanned every

This was on Wednesday. Yesterday
he continued his search, armed to tn,
