Mr.. Cary Newsum, one of the night
clerks of the M. G. r. r.. while coming
home few nights ago, down Ohio Levee
from the depot, heard man ye' ling for the
"night watch" a few squares ahead of HIM,
and, as he approached within about ten
feet OF the author Of the alarm, he observ-
ed three men scampering away into the
darkness and, crawling through under the
cars, make tracks for the stone depot. The
man was slightly under the influence of
| liquor but not too drunk to know what had
happened TO him, and he told
the clerk that he had been robbed of all
his money. His pockets were all turned
inside out and the poor wretch bemoaned
his loss like helpless child. He lad

several drinks, and when paying for them,
had displayed tolerably well filled pocket
book, which had not escaped the notice of
those around him.
If the women of Chicago are not aris-
tocratic, they are sensible and progressive,

exchange views upon the raising and care
of their little ones, and once month listen

person willing and able to address them.
Many of the prominent physicians of Chi
cago have already testified their approval of
this plan by offering their services as lee
turers. In . city Of such rapid growth as
Chicago, 1t may with reason be urged that
there are more "shoddys" among the peo-
Pile than in cities that can boast of centen-
malls and sesqui-centennials But if this be
shoddyism one could wish it were epidemic
and contagious.

AT this stage the women were removed

The superior court at Chicago has just
been considering queer case. Some time
ago William A. Sloan married woman in
Ohio. Their matrimonial path was rugged
and Sloan moved to Iowa, procuring d.
vorce and on the same day married another
woman in Iowa. The courts of the latter
state declared the divorce proceedings il
