Crimes Against Women.

Ez- -
Six months ago the whole community
was shocked By the discovery Of brutal
murder which had been perpetrated with
the most herrible and revolving circum-
stances. A young girl who had been
wronged a. only wotnan can be wronged,
and then murdered, mutilased, crowded
into trunk while Der flesh was still warm
WAS thrown Into Sangus river and found
floating there last February.
Only nov have the perpetrators Of this
crime been discovered. Those who were
her immediate murdesers may receive their
puuishmsnt. But Is there any Law that
canxeach the case of Allen N. Adams, Of
Boston highlands, who, while tie girl was
earning . living - 40 inmate in his family
WAS the fret cause Of al that followed?
He was man Of mature years. It was on
her goth birthday that she was found dead
in the river. So young and yet SO wrong
ed. She was old enough indeed TO know
better. But the mature msu lured her 10
her ruin. His crime 10 one Of the gravest,
~ we'll A. one Of the grossest. But this
sin against women never gets its deserts.
Last year in New York womans voice
was heard in shrieks, and when police
man appeared he found a young girl, yet
in her teens, In chamber with man who
said he had got her in a dance house and
had kept her where she was month or so,
but be had just told her he was tired Of
her ana SHOULD leave her; and then she
shrieked and ran to the closet, took her
clothes and thrust them into the FIRE and
said she would kill herself She was
taken to the police court for trial. There
she told that she went to Coney leland for
a holiday. As she walked on the sands
the man who had just been f,und with her
spoke to her politely, and walked along,
talking pleasantly, till th y came to an
eating house. Then he asked her to lunch
with hin. Knowing nothing, and hence
fearing nothing, she went into lunch The
next she knew she woke to fnd herself In
one Of the vilest and most notorious of the
bad houses 10 that city. Evidently she
had been drugged. The fellow told her
the state Of the case; that she would now
be ashamed to 60 home, and that the only
thing she could do vas to stay with him
and be would take care Of her, &c. The
poor young thing, ignorant, bewildered,
distressed, Wild with grief, ehame and dis.
may. accepted his promise to take care Of
her. Now, when be told her be was tired
Of her and should leave her to shirk for
herself, At first she had rent the air with
sh,ieks, thrust her clothes into the Ere and
said she would kill herself. All this was
told with convulsive throbs which 30
moved the heart Of the 'udge that he said
sternly TO the young man, "wtat have
you to sAy for yourseif9' He admitted tho
truth Of hsr statements, but said: "Send
her mp, Judge; send her up. Give her a
month or two. II will do her good" The
judge ordered him TO leave the court
room, saying he was sorry be could no.
give him his deser.s. And be went out,
no dosbt glad to escape from the repro.ch-
ful eyes Of bis victim, free to create such
another tragedy, and no law to punish

bers and influence. Since the annual
meeting in June, over one hundred new

promising. Its merits are only to be
known to be appreciated and acknowledge

modern times. Those in moderate circum-
stances, can for - small sum be made sure
OF us many dollars rs their are members
belonging to the association and the best
of the whole is, each member can keep his
money in his own pocket until called for
by the death of II brother. No other insti-
tuition can compare with this kind. and
each member OF the fraternity should avail
himself Of becoming connected with it.
The beneficiary receives the amount due in
less than thirty days from the death, with
out any pcrpleXity or quibblng on the
part of the officers of the institution. As
II recent case in point, Brother Casscn of
