A Victim to Suspicion.

Peck's Sun.
The Sun is in receipt of short story
from Chicago, which is so full of mis-
cry that there is no fun in it anywhere,
but 1t is told as a warning to ladies to
be careful how they accuse servant girls
of crime. A man from the Chicago car
pet company was sent to a house recent
ly to put down a carpet, and in the
worl; it was necessary to remove large
mirror, and in doing so beautiful
breast-pin fell upon the carpet, which
the man gave to the lady of the house.
Instead of a smile of thankfulness from
the lady, which the man expected, the
lady fell down on her knees sobbing
and praying end asking God to forgive
her for her injustice. The man was
paralyzed and thought the woman was
crazy, but she explained to him, as she
put on her cloak to go down town, that
a servent girl had been accnsed of steal
ing the breast-pin. and was serving a
term in the penitentiary for it. The
woman hustled down to her husband 5
office and showed the pin, and in an
hour work was begun to release the
poor girl from her prison, where she
had been for many months. Who can
picture the sufferings of that poor, hon
est girl in prison, serving sentence for
a crime which she did not commit, and
who can realize the agony of the woman
who sent her there? The Sun trusts
that the poor girl will have been re-
leased before this is read, and that the
wealthy woman will amply reward her
for the suffering she has endured. Such
cases are too frequent in this world.
where innocence is made to suffer on
circumstantial evidence.

A Criticism.

A writer in the Washington, Iowa
Press thus frees his mind upon the sub
jcct of n very popular drama: I'VE have
been bored once more by Uncle Tom 5
Cabin We should like to see it pro-
hibited. The dramatization has re-
duced pathetic and noble story to the
lowest depths of caricature. travesty.
burlesque. and nonsense. The ambi-
ton oftroupes consists in crowding onto
the stage the most jackasses. yellow
dogs eaten up with fleas. and dupli-
Gated and supernumerary Topsys and
Lawyer Marks. And such Evas and
Uncle Toms as they let loose on long
suffering public, ought to die and be
killed with the most violent deaths. 1t
is the most disgusting sort of melodra-
matte poppycock that gets on the stage
nowadays. and yet it draws, and con
victs the popular taste of being low and
frivolous. A class of folks that think
the theater is awful flock to see this
scurvy. disgraceful play. which has
sunk into utter vulgarity and is almos,
beneath contempt.

A dispatch from Germany says a
man was arrested charged with confess

"An instrument for injecting morphia

this man had not been arrested
he might have injected that poem into
Bismarck. Every year assassins adopt
new methods of getting in their work.
