MARY MASTERSON.
The Story of Her Long and W cary Trip to
st. Louis.
From the Philadelphia Times.l

/ ST. Louis.
From the Philadelphia Times.l
Detective Umstead has returned te
this city from st. Louis. having in charge
the little girl Mary Masterson and hel
abductor, the woman Fannie Brown,
alias Pelee, alias Pollard. It will be re-
membered that the little girl was stolen
from her home on Charles street. on the
18th Of April last. Nothing was known
OF their whereabouts until about
week ago, when a dispatch
from Chief of Police McDonough,
of st. Louis, informed the Chief of Pc
lice of this city that he had the woman
and child in custody. The kidnapping
woman had a hearing before Alderman
Carpenter. She is about 80 years old
and her features are weakened. During
the hearing this Madame Frochard kept
her eyes closed, except when some par
tlcular point in the evidence was given.
Ann White, the grandmother Of the
child, testified to the abduction, the par
ticulars Of which have been published.
The little girl, bright, dork-eyed, in
telligent child, then gave her testimony
in clear and distinct manner. She said
that she met the prisoner after leaving
school, who gave her pennies and candy,
and induced her to get into street car
with her. The first night they stopped
in the city, and next morning went
to Annapolis, thence to Washing
ton, where the prisoner said she had
brother living. Mrs. Brown forced
the witness to beg in the streets, sleep
ing In the soup house at night. After
two or three days they went to Balti-
more and slept at the station house.
They begged every day, testified little
Mary, the old woman whipping herwhen
she refused to ask for money. They
stayed in Baltimore one week, and then
a kind gentleman gave them a pass to
Indianapolis. On the way the conductor
gave them food From Indianapolis
they went to st. Louis, travelling on foot
part of the time and getting passes over
the railroad the rest. The child said she
was treated kindly by the farmers and
others on the way, but that on many &C.
casions the old woman would whip her.
On reaching st. Louis they stopped with
the Sisters Of Charity, who gave them
supper and lodging every night. While.
it was light the child was forced to beg,
and told to say that her name was Mamie
Brown, and, if asked, that her father
was dead. The old woman had told her
that her grandmother and father were
no more. Patrick Masterson, the little
ones father, gave his testimony, which
was not material to the case. Detective
Umstead detailed his trip. and said that
On arriving at st. Louis, IN company
with Detectives Thomas Hennessy and
P. F. Lawlor, of St. Louis, he had dis
covered the truth of the girls statement.
At the conclusion of the testimony the
Alderman committed the prisoner in de-
ault of $4,000 to answer at court the
charge of enticing the girl from her
nome. The little one was taken charge
If by her father and grandmother, her
mother being dead.

essary that he should become rich-and
most boys think it is-nor is it necessary
that he should become a great scholar,
nor that he should become ia distin-
gIlished man.
But some impatient ones are asking,
Chow can we become gentlemen? How
can boy 90 about making himself one {?
Can he work for it 2" Yes, he can. And
the harder he works in the right way the
better. Can he study for it? Yes, he
can. But he must study with his eyes
and ears. Reading books and newspa-
pers is not enough. He must think and
feel as well as speak and act. Can he
buy it2 No, he cannot. Money will
buy great many things, but it will not
buy what makes gentlemen. IF you
have money, you can go to shop and
buy clothes. But hat, coat, pants and
boots do not make gentleman. They
make fop, and sometimes they come
near making a fool. Money will buy
dogs and horses. but how many dogs and
horses do you think it will take to make
q gentleman? Let no boy, therefore,
think he is to be made a gentleman by
the clothes he wears, the horse he rides,
the stick he carries, the dog that trots
after him, the house he lives in, or the
money he spends. Not one of all these
things do it-and yet every boy may be
q gentleman. He may wear an old hat,
cheap clothes, have no horses, live il
poor house, and spend but little money,
and still be gentleman. But how ?
By being true, manly, honorable. By
keeping himself neat and respectable.
BY being civil and courteous. By re-
Ipecting himself and respecting others.
BY doing the best he knows how. And |
inally, and above all, by fearing God |
md keeping his commandments. Par

The Naked Truth.

At noon yesterday policeman found
a boy bathing in slip, near the foot Of
Randolph street, and he called to the lad
to come out and be arrested like man
for breaking the ordinance.
g Is it agin the ordinance for boy to
fall into the river? % queried the bather.
mo sir, but you are naked"
"Does the law say that boy has got
to have his clothes on when he falls in ?"
"The ordinance prohibits bathing
here, and now you come out
Is it bathing when Teller cuts his
foot on piece of tin, knocks his head
agin beam, and swallows four catfish
and COB OF mud ?"

"What for?" asked the boy.
F'I command you to come out p
/ can't come, J." sorrowfully answered
the bather. The real truth is, jumped
in here to rescue a drowning female, but
her hair pulled off and she's at the bot

"I'll bring you out ?" growled the
officer as he made for boat but the
boy disappeared and was seen no more.
While the officer was looking under the
wharf the half of a good-sized sand pile
suddenly slid down the back of his neck
and into his boots, and musical, IA
milan voice was heard saying:
"My shirts on hind side afore,

Better Off Than Germany.

The United States Consul at one of
the leading industrial centers in the
German empire is now in Washington.
He says that heis surprised to find that
the business depression of the United
States is not near as great as in Ger
many. The information obtained from
the newspapers before coming home led
him to expect that he would find much
more deplorable condition of things here
than abroad. He finds instead that
business in the United States is in a
prosperous condition in comparison with
the German empire. The effects of the

HOW to Be a Gentleman.

We want few private words with the
boys. The truth is we have great idea
of boys. We used to think men were
made Of boys We begin to think now
that these were old-fashioned notions
that they are all out of date. We look
around and see a great many persons
grown up, with mems clothes on, who are
called men. But they act and behave SO
that we feel certain that they were never
made out Of boys IF they had been
they would know how to behave better.
Where they came from we do not know.
But what we wish to put into the ears OF
the boys is this be gentlemen. In
this country every boy may grow up tc
be gentleman if he will. 1t is not nee
