A REMARKABLE CRIMINAL.

A Girl OF Fourteen Pleads Guilty to Thir-
teen Indictments for Burglary-Several
Hundred Robberies Laid to her Charge.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Oct. 5-A case that will go
down to history on the annals of crime has
just been tried in this city. John, Ellen
and Mary Morris were before Judge Mo-
ran this morning to receive sentence.
Mary, the daughter, IA years old, had
pleaded guilty to thirteen indictments for
burglary and larceny. The other two had
pleaded not guilty to the same number of
indictments for receiving stolen goods.
The evidence in all these cases was heard
on Wednesday.
"Oh, yer honor, am a hard workin' in
nocent woman" said Ellen Morris, the
mother of the family, rising to plead
her cause, eff I'd knowed my gurrel
was out stealin' o'nights when I was a
sleepin', couldn't a. slep wink, yer
honor. I never seen thin stolen things
she brought home wild her, for my sight is
very wake. I kin see to wash durin' the
day, but if should see even yer honor
after dark, wouldn't know you. I'm a
heart-broken woman- yer HONOR
''It is useless for you to plead innocence
to me,' said the court, ''for know you are
guilty. The officers testified that they took
full wagon load of stolen clothing out of
your bed room and stolen rings off your
fingers. You have been in states prison
before for stealing, and it
has had no effect upon
you. hold you responsible for having
trained your own child up in crime. I
sentence you to term of three years and
six months in the penitentiary, and this
you may consider an exceedingly light
sentence considering the enormity of the
crime for which it is given. make it so
light on account of the two little boys you
have at home."
1This is, one of the most astounding
cases I have ever heard" Judge Moran
continued. ''This little girl confesses to
having committed in the night time almost
innumerable daring burglaries. Whoever
stood behind her to urge her on was well.
skilled in that class of work. The
only place to which could send
this little girl is the house of correction
It is an amazing thing that there is no re-
| formatory for girls in this great state Of
Illinois. hope that the newspapers and
everybody will agitate the pressing need
| of such an institution until it is supplied
| sentence the child, much to my regret
| upon two of the indictments against her
| to two terms of one year each in the house
| of correction"
John Morris, witless drunkard, agains
whom no evidence of guilt had beer
brought, was discharged. Mary Morris, th'
heroine of this romance Of crime,is petite
innocent-featured creature, yet within tw'
years she has perpetrated several hundred
burglaries and larcenies, entering houses
in the dead of night and shoplifting in th'
glare of MONDAY, stealing articles exceed
ing in value $4,000 and including dres:
goods, jewelry and diamonds. The entire
family has lived in ease from the first o.
her misdeeds. A record of her adventure:
would fill ponderous volume.

Peter Cooper on the Tariff:


Nav YoRK, Oct. 5.-Peter Cooper ad-
63nessed the tariff commission to-day saying
the country wanted permanent tariff, one
that would not be broken every few years.
A lengthy paper prepared by Mr.. Cooper
was read, containing review of the ques-
tion under investigation also treating gen.
orally of the causes of the last panic and
present prosperity Of the country. The
pamphlet also advocated protection for la
bor, and this could only be done by an
amount Of duties that shall equal the diff
ference between the cost of day labor in
in cur country as compared with the cost
of simi3ar days labor in other countries.
The difference, when carefully examined, will
be found TO be an average in this country
Of from 50 to 15O per cent. more than is
now being paid for similar labor in other
countries.

DETROIT, Becker county, Oct. 3.-The

rather than go into the regular convention
and be defeated, he called one himself for
October 10th. When the convention was
called to order to-day not a single
delegate from Clay county
appeared, and the chairman, Mr.. Holmes,
adjourned to meet at Moorhead. This is
the way Comstock and Nelson's strikers

the majority and Comstock calls rump
