Sheriff Young is receiving
much praise for his efforts TO
restore good order in Vid llia,
and if we can judge from ap-
parent results he is succeeding
admirably.
His last raid was upon several
girls, who it appears by the
testimony before the Mayors
court, have been IN the habit of
violating the town Ordinance,
especially at night. The tres
pas sers were let off by paying
81 90 each, since which we have
not seen a girl in the streets at
night.

Children's Rights.

The right of children to play on the
sidewalk in city was incidentally in
volved i'll recent case before the New
York Court Of Appeals. The waste not
water and steam from planning mill in
Brooklyn ran down through pipe be-
meath the sidewalk into hole inside the
curbstone. A little child, about years
old, whose parents lived upon the same
street, went out on the sidewalk and fell
into this hole of hot water and was badly
scalded. They sued for damages and re-
covered verdict against the persons
carrying on the planning On the
trial the Judge charged the jury that the
child had a right to be on the sidewalk,
and had right to be at play there. In
the Court of Appeals it was argued that
the last proposition was not law. The
court held, however, that it was legally
correct, inasmuch as it conveyed the idea
that, being on the sidewalk, the fact of
playing there did not constitute negli-
gence on the part of the child. "That it
is not unlawful, wrongful or negligent"
said Chief Justice Church, "for children
on the sidewalk to play, is proposition
which is too plain for comment" Their
right to play in such a way as to exclude
or interfere with persons desiring to pass
was not involved in the case, ana the
court expressed no opinion on that point.

Railway Construction i'm Peru.

Peru takes the lead in the revival of
railroad building. Work begins this
month on three important lines under a
new contract which Henry Meiggs has
obtained from the Government. 1t is
the policy OF Perm to convert n portion
of her accidental wealth into the imper-
ishable sources of national greatness.
and she has already found the railroads
so useful in uniting her people and
strengthening the Government that she
proposes to go on with the construction
of this class of public works until the
whole territory is supplied. Doubtless
her action will have a stimulating effect
upon nations in other quarters of the
globe. 1t certainly will be benefit to
certain industries in this country. One
feature of Meiggs' new contract is pc
culiar one He is to develop the Cerro
de Pasco silver mines. III what rumor
says of the richness of these mines
proves to be true, an immense quantity
of metal will be taken from them in the
next ten or fifteen years, so large q guam
tity, in fact, that it may affect the import
ant question of remonetizing silver. -

Death by Fire.

Two shocking tragedies, involving the
loss of three little children by fire, have
occurred in Nebraska within few days
A farmer named Chesany, living near
Lincoln, went out to burn prai-
RE grass. A 3-year-old boy fol-
lowed him without his knowledge
After completing his work the father re-
turned in the evening without the child,
and, upon the mother telling him it was
missing, he started to hunt it, and found
the little fellow lying on the prairie
burnt to crisp. He had followed the
