ton for bad boys and girls more than
any other city in the country. The fast
young men Of the city are youths whose
ages range from fifteen to twenty years.
They indulge in all kinds of wickedness
at night when their parents are asleep
at home, and when probably they believe
their sons to be in their rooms. Not a
night passes but squads OF these young
rowdies a be seen on the streets at all
hours. They frequent gaming-houses
houses Of ill-iame, whisky saloons, varie.
ty shows, and ara rapidly drifting into
drunkenness aud vice. These youthful
roysterers should be arrested by the DO.
lice when out late at night engaging in
their orgies. Many of them, in order to
get money to keep up their fast lives,
have to rob their parents and employern,
or go to knocking down" as they call
it, and after awhile, when the employer
discovers that he has been plandered, he
IS astonished at the breach of trust, not
knowing Or s~uspecting anything con
corning the fast life which his employe
had been leading. A few nights since
at the station house our reporter saw q
business nan who desired the police to
arrest his soua. They were fast youths,
were stealing from him, and we're night
ly out on sprees. They we're drunk
nightly, and visited all kinds of dsns Of
vice and %iniquity. He asked that they
might be arrested and sent to Presidents
Island as Migrants, as he had given up
all hope of reclaiming them. This
shows the necessity for having a House
Of Correction like other cities, to which
houses are sent the young rowdies who
are drifting into vice and crime with
great rapidity.
