Two Ways Of Subduing Burglars.

The question whether brutes can
best be subdued by force or kindness
has not been settled by two recent oc-
currences in New York and Brooklyn.
In Brooklyn a young woman while
feeling for chair in dark bedroom
touched mans head. At first she
thought it was her brothers who was
playing her trick. But his hair being
curly and the hair of his head straight.
she at once stopped little, graSped
the person hy the throat. threw her
whole weight 600 pounds) upon him
and then screamed for help. Her fa-
ther came in, just in time to rescue the
burglar from her grasp, for he was al
most done for. The same evening, in
New York, Miss Linda Gilbert, known
rs the " Prisoners friend" was aroused
from her sleep by some ones trying
to lift the window. Now" she
thought with pleasure, 81. shall have a
chance to watch oneof my black sheep
at his work" He entered the room
and caught sight of her watch on the
bureau, which he seized. She slid
noiselessly out Of bed and put her
hand on his shoulder. He drew back
in surprise and dropped the watch.
"Hello!" she said; don't you know
you are robbing one of your friends 2"
"N-nOv' he stammered. "I don't
know who you are" "Well, I'm Linda
Gilbert" "Are you?" he asked, look
ing straight in her face. Il have
heard of you, but you never saw me in
prison. l have never been in prison.
| must go; | haven't taken anything"
No, you must not CO." L said; you
must sit down awhile; l want TO talk
with you" He sat down and looked
as pleased as a child. He seemed
sickly and said he was threatened
with hemorrhage Of the lungs. His
wife suffered with ague and his child
rem were sickly. He had been on a
strike and after that could get no
work. His family were starving, and
one day he stole watch, and had
stolen two others since. He began to
think it was the only way he had of
living. He had meant to steal enough
to take the family somewhere in the
country. He could not support them
in New York. Miss Gilbert called her
secretary and they went to the kitchen,
filled market basket with things to
eat, gave it to the man, together with
five-dollar bill and some advice. and
he went out by the front door with as
glad face as one could wish to see
She tried to hunt up the mans family
in Mulberry street, but could not find
them. She presumed she mistook the
number he gave. Most people are in
favor of she oting burglars, but she is

THIS review on the recent scandal. We

SAID that let il be known that he was a

complish certain matter with the

We would spurn such cur as black
mailer and blackguard. This same in

it virtue. They say that we are not
JUST.
Have We not shown Justice to all?
Have we been unkind to the oppressed
IN this community? We shall ALWAYS
now and hereafter, endeavor to build
up society, and not be party to des-
troying ii. We shall show Justice to
those who were TO he united in the
holy bonds of
wEDLoCK
and condemn the traducers. BE not
TOO ready to stab a helpless female.
Show justice 10 her, as all have, who
have been assaulted. The virtue of

Jewels the reputation Of one
Is dearCr than fortune, and well
does the benefittOr say 'he who steals
my purse steals trash, but he who robs
rae Of my good name robs me of that
which does not enrich him, but makes
me poor indeed" We shall no longer
be condemned for measures which
public opinion condemns, but we shall
always give our version of the matter.
Before the public decides on verdict,
let them way the matter, let us con-
slider whether there is reasonable
doubt. In law where there is reason
able doubt, the accused shall have the
benefit Of it. We shall give more in
our next issue. To-day we received
the condemnation of the traducerS, but
we still live and reign to oppose honor

There is power in the direct glance

If man, or woman either, wishes

There will be no thinking it over,

suit always gets the verdict before a

at the endof the week he was asked
to return the loan, but laughed at the
absurdity of the request. Suit was be

Jypon motion of Mr. Edmunds, the bill re-
ported by him from the committee on the
judiciary to prevent officers or employees OF
the United States from collecting from or
paving to each other money for political OBJ
jects was taken up.
Mr.. Morgan proposed to amend the fourth
section of the bill so as to forbid contrlbu-
tions by oficeholders for political purposes
in any place over which the United States
has exclusive jurisdiction,
Mr.. Edmunds.-Thati includes the District
of Columbia and all the Territories.
Mr.. Morgan SAID his amendment was de-
signed to cover-the Territories, and especial
Iy to cover the District of Columbia, because
the evil against which the bill was directed
was more marked there than IN any other
place. That was the central point from
which those expeditions against the peace
and welfare of the country were conducted.
