graphed to Philadelphia, for the stricken

A ContenlptiLIe Wretch.

For a long time the police authorities
have been looking for man by the name
OF John Cook who went around the city
exposing his person; latterly he had been
in the habit of going down to No. l.,
school, and standing there daring school
hours doing the same thing. The au-
thorities Of the school made complaints
TO the Chief of Police, who had been
watching for him, for about two weeks,
and upon going down there yesterday
morning caught him in the act. The
man noticed the Chief sometime
before he got to him and started on run
but after an exciting chase the Chief
succeeded in capturing him at Fourth
and Pine streets. He was given hear
ing before the Mayor, last evening, and
was required to pay penalty of SO and
costs and give $1,000 for good behavior
He is a married man, having a wife, and
two small children, and this morning his
wife came into the police station, and
begged the Mayor to release him. But
the Mayor told her that ne was very sorry
but that her husband would have to 90
over; even If she succeeded in raising the
amount of bail he would make it higher
again as he was bound that such a man
should be locked up.

They were followed by thirty-nine couples
and as they followed their leader in the
