begging on the streets can be sent for re-
lief. The society proposes to furnish to the

the district officers of the organization. If
beggars refuse to 90 to these places, or
shall be found begging again, then the
society desires that such cases shall be
treated as offenses against the law. The
society have an arrangement by which able
bodied applicants are sent for employment
to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.

OF the killing of Jesse James the Chicago
Times says: ''It was not attempted to ar
rest him. Mr.. James was believed to have
stated that he would not be taken alive, and
the belief was universal In Missouri that he
would have to be reduced to the condition
of a corpse before it would be practicable to
serve a warrant upon him. No experiments
were tried. One of the detectives whom he
supposed to be his apprentices crept up be-
hind him, and put a bullet In his brain.
Jesse James WAS effectually arrested. The
end was in perfect accord with his career,
and he would undoubtedly have preferred
dying as he did to being hanged, and the
travelling public feels great deal safer now
than it would If Jesse James was merely In
jail awaiting trial. His method of arrest
was little Irregular, but his reputation
was such that no man could have been ex-
pected to attempt his arrest by any other
means than the revolver"
