Immigrants for the South.

The Rev. Father Nugent, Of Liverpool, who
for, the last few years has identified himself
with the colonization of Irish families in this
country, and who about two years ago sent IA
number of families from Connemara, ireland,
to colony near St. Paul, Mimi, where they
have been Unexpectedly successful in farming,
was visitor at Castle Garden Monday. He
conferred with Secretary Jackson and some of
the emigration commissioners with regard to
other colonies of Irish families which he pro-
poses to establish in this country next year. \
letter from w. Ii. Smith, VI. P, and chairman
OF the Irish emigrant committee appointed by
the House of Commons, in connection with
Father Nngent's scheme, was sent to the emf
grafton commissioners, in which he saws be is
desrous OF arranging to secure places for
families from the west of Ireland, who will
be sent to this country early next wear. 1t is
desired to have these families sent to the inter

The Kansas City Times has been investigat-
ing the political situation in Pennsylvania
Name and Ohio, and finds that lit is admitted
that Pennsylvania will be lost to the Republi-
can party this fall, and the conditions obtain
ing in New York are so similar in character
to those causing the admission in regard to
Democratic success in Pennsylvania that it is
logical to predict victory as well in New
York" After Pennsylvania in Importance
in political point of view, as the Times sees
it, are the elections and results in Maine arc
Ohio In both of these States it predic a
Democratic victory. After reviewing the issues
in Ohio, the Times sums up: Gas matter
of fact, therefore, the embarrasJmentss around
ing the Republican party in their campaign in
Ohio are so many, and the circumstances SC
potent and patent that are likely to weaker
the party, it is very safe to class Ohio with
Pennsylvania, New York and Maine, as being
surely Democratic this fail" The indications
are that our Western namesake has level

A Mistake Somewhere.

In the Laws of Maryland, 1882" Just
printed AMI issued, is an Act to repeal
section one Of article thirteen of the Code
of Public General Laws, relating to
Bastardy and Fornication, and to re-enact
the same" The act strikes out the word
white, and provides that ''any justice Of
the peace upon information given him of
any woman having an illegitirnate child,
may issue his warrent to a constable OF
the county or city, and the said constable
shall thereupon take such person before
some justice of the peace of the county.
who shall require her to give security to
indemnify the county from any charge
that may accrue by means of such child.
and upon neglect or refusal, shall commit
her to the custody of the sheriff Of the
county, to be by him kept until she shall
give such security
This act is marked in the published
laws approved May 3, 1882" But from
he journal of the House OF Delegates it
appears, PIP. 1915 and 1917, that, upon
motion of Mr.. Hammond, the enacting
clause of said bill was stricken out in the
House by vote of 43 to 80, and it there
fore cannot be law if the House journal
be correct. Now it really appears that
the PRONUNCIATION of our laws under the
regime of the great law giver of Washing
ton county has been all along and pro-
misses to continue to be mixed up affair.
For about eight months the courts and
the people have been kept in entire ignor-
ance Of the laws enacted for their govern
ment at the last session and under which
they are punishable; and now that they
are promulgated in single thousand vol
umns, we have at least one inserted that
is not law, and for all that is now known
many left out that ought to be inserted =
It is rule we believe generally adopted
in the courts that the officially published
copies of the laws shall be evidence of the
same in the courts of the State, but it is
manifest that this rule must be abandoned
under the present regime.

COunterfeiting Gang Broken
up.

The arrest of w. II. Robinson, better
known as Gopher Bill' and his con-
federates breaks up dangerous gang
of counterfeiters who have long piled
their traffic unmolested in Philadel-
phia, spite of the efforts of the secret
service agents. Philadelphia has been
for some time flooded with counterfeit
50, so, and $50 bank notes and silver,
and the detectives could get no clue.
Finally it was learned that large guam
titles of the spurious money was being
circulated by confedeIates at Balti-
more, and so every boat and train
reaching Philadelphia from that city
was watched. Two detectives on
Thursday last saw couple of known
criminals get off from the boat, and
quietly followed them. Pretty soon
the men met Gopher Bill' on the
street, and after few minutes confer
ence Bill handed one of them a pack
age and departed. The two men wan
dered about from place to place, in sa-
looms and stores, with the detectives at
their heels, but though they made va
rious purchases they paid for them in
genuine money. When they went last
to Baltimore the detectives were in the
same car, and just as they We're bid
ding each other good night at home
the shadowers arrested them. The
mysterious package was found to con-
tain 1870 in counterfeit bills and 5000
in spurious silver, and the next morn
ing the men were held in $4,000 each
The catching of Gopher Bill'' was a
harder matter; he is fatherly-lOOk
| Al IL :
so cautious that though known to be
in many scrapes of this and other sorts
he has rarely been caught, largely be-
cause he has not made false money
himself, but has acted as the agent fol
its distribution, and never has any O
it about his person or in his rooms
His arrest now is supposed to be part
ly a result of information given the de
tectives by some old partner on whom
"Bill' peached once on a time. Aftel
the arrest of the Baltimore mel
"GOpher Bill" was shadowed and wa
found to be intimate with Il respecta
blelOoking man named Hubbard, wh'
lived i'll quiet way in a respectable
house with his timid looking wife
The men We're shy that no hold cOulC
be got on them, and the offers ut las
searched Hubbard's house, finding in
closet about 5000 in spurious silve
dollars and halves. ThereupOn TIN
three were arrested, and the men wer
committed in default of $500 bond
each, while the woman was discharged
just what hold the authorities have ol
Gopher Bill' is not clear, though the
apparently expect to break up til
gang.

Baby Killers.

The infant killers which masquerade
under the seductive names of "sOOth
ing sirupsn and ''cOrdials" are receiv-
ing much attention from well-knOwn
medical men just now, who hold them
responsible for the death of many ba-
bies. Hundreds of such decOctiOns are
protected by patents when their
"sOothing" power is proved by analy
sis to lie entirely in opium mixtures,
and hosts of mothers who ascribe the
death of their children to choleras,
bowel complaints and commissions,
ought to know that their loss is due to
the use of these medicines. A Phila-
delphia doctor estimates that $4,000
bottles of such nostrums are sold every
week in that city, and that large pro-
portion of the 1900 or 20O0 babies who
die there annually are killed by doses
from the crest giving" bottles, war
ranted, to cure all the known COM
plants of childhood. DR.. John F.
Meigs of Philadelphia says that these
compounds are all poisons, disorgan-
izing the system and, even if they are
not fatal, often weakening for life the
constitution of the little patient. DR..
BlackwOod of st. Mary's hospital says
that he has had 30 cases of death caused
by the use of soothing sirup, and many
other physicians in responsible places
| testify to similar experiences. The
Pharmaceutical Journal insists that
death has been caused by the use OF
| .Godfrey's Cordial mixture which
is composed according to their formula
Laudanum, |! pints ; molasses, Ii
pints alcohol, pints water, 36 pints
carbonate of potassium, . ounces oil
of sassafras to flavor. This is a cheer
full concOction with which to dose the
sensitive and delicate stomach of a
child in arms. DIR. Taylor in his ''Med-
ical Jurisprudence" condemns soothing
sirup, and he noted the death of a child
ID months old, caused by two doses oi
it, with all the symptoms of narcotic
poisoning. Ziemssen's standard Scr
man Encyclopedia of the Practice o.
Medicine" instances many of these
preparations as poisonous. These
statements are all from doctors of gooC
standing and long experience, an,
should be a valuable warning to pa
rents who will do well to heed it now
in the extreme heat of the summer
when children are uneasy and fretful
! and the temptation to use soothing

An Alexandria correspondent says
that during the massacre the soldiers
set fire to the house of IL timber mer-
chant. A maid servant escaped to the
garden, where she found herself sur
rounded by fire. The soldiers laughed
at her agony and fired at her, but pur-
pOsely avoided the infiictiOn of fatal
injury, preferring to see her burn to
death. Finally she rushed through the
flames, and, though wounded by bayO-
net thrusts, succeeded in securing ref
uge in the ruins, where she was dis
covered by the marines and handed

what n Young Man Did With
His Career.

Chicago has a sensation which Illus
trates the "fastn side of city life.
Charles Stiles, "callerr for the board of
trade, son of the late Gen. Stiles of
Dixon. ILL.,, a companiOnable man who
lived rapidly, was shot dead i'll his
room at the Palmer house the other
morning The pistol report called out
the hotel people and Stiles was found
dying in the arms of a woman who
called herself Mrs. Madeline Stiles.
Charley" had taken her to ride the
previous evening, dined at ga road
house." quarrelled with the woman,
and left her to walk home in the rain.
She got up early the following day and
visited the man at his room to kill him.
After the fashion of Western Journal
ism, the Chicago Tribune uses up a
page to tell all about the tragedy, and
points its moral in leading editorial.
1t appears that the woman has been a
notorious prostitute, and Stiles, who
maintained semblance of respectable
ity and is spoken of as universally
liked by those who knew him"-made
her contribute money with which he
"speculated on the board of trade,
haunted the poOl-roOms and bucket
shops and was sort of 'plunger' at
horse races.
Charles Stiles was born of good
family, had been we'll educated, enjoy
ed the advantages of European travel
and then came back to Chicago tC
make career. This is what he has
done with it. The pistol shot of al
abandoned woman turns the full light
of investigation on the dark side of {
misspent manhood, and the secret,
which Stiles had been keeping from his
old mother are known and read of al
men. The Owl club,-an association
whose name sufficiently characterlze'
it-''has appointed committee to ar
range for the funeral and select prop
er floral decoration" Nothing could h'
more appropriate for them to place up
on the coffin than deadly night-shade
Stiles will have no other ''hOnor" i'll hi
death than these cOngenial spirits elec
to pay, and the quicker his DEGRADED
career and dishonored life are burie,
out of sight the better for society an'
the family he has so wantonly dis
graced. Such a wretched story mus
have its place in the news of the day
and, however revolving, must also hav
its moral uses. Tragedies of the sor
are Matching in all large communities
Fast life has its shallow attractions
hut they are girt always by the mos
terrible dangers. Is it not plain, youn
men, that careers of the Stiles sort d
not pay ?-[ Springfield Republican.

The MurderOUs Toy Pistol.

The manufacture and sale of toy
so dangerous ought to he prohibited by
law. 1t has no use which makes it
necessary to any one. There are
means of producing noise that are
less perilous, i'll plenty. This murder
Gus contrivance is manufactured to be
sold to children as IA plaything, and for
no other purpose whatever. But IA
plaything whose use in one day infiicts
injuries that result in the agOnizing
death of IA score of the bright youth of
the state is one that ought to be abol-
ished. Perhaps men in greed of gain
will continue to make and sell them,
unless parents make the business nm
profitable. But it is not improbable
that many children purchase these toys
without the knowledge of their parents.
The price can be afforded ont of the
pocket money children are allowed for
the Fourth of July. The pistol that
shoots "A bullet may he as deadly, but
it is more costly, and will not be 50
commonly used. 1t is too late to re
pair the terrible mischief done this
year, but it is not too late for parents
to take warning for the future Bos-
ton Advertiser.
The returns which come in to the
newspapers daily from the devastations
of the toy pistol are startling, and il
any nation less easy-going than the
| American would stir up an agitation
] that should forbid the manufacture anC
