will rarely induce young girls to follow
n life similar to hers. But the momont
she takes up with Chinamen, her sole
object seems To be to lead others aud
particularly young girls from 10 and IA
years upwards, to a similar life This is
q fact which police officer of good
standing called my attention to, and
which fully shows the horrible influence
these Oriental devils are welding. It
is to be hoped now, that Christian men
have taken bold of the matter energeti-
cally, this plague spot of metropolitan
life will be rooted out. Aud with the
head and centre of the Chinese colony of
Williams in prison, it will not be so diff
cult to quell the rest of the colony into
submission to morality and the laws.
The sale of the World newspaper is
still the topic of conversation in journal
istic and financial circles. Jay Gould
has come out in an interview declaring
that he was glad that he had got rid OF it.
On the other hand, it is asserted that Mr.,
NOuAu OWuA uh IluCu VI lub WOEE0 HH
ever before; that Mr.. Pulitzer has sim
ply obtained what shares the previous
editor, Mr.. Hurlbert had. and that tho
whole transaction is simply blind -
disprove to the public at large that Mr.,
Gould had any intention of muzzling the
country at large by obtaining control of
the Associated Press. l give the story
for what ii is worth, though my infor-
mants profess 10 be speaking from what
they obtained reliable sources At the
same time Mr.. Puliizer is doing every
thing to disprove these statements. His
attacks on jay Gould are SO outspoken
and SO vigorous as to disarm almost
every suspicion. At the same time. it
must not be forgotten that Wall Street
methods are every devious.
The retired editor of the World gees
to Europe shortly, and that will result
in the breaking mp of one of the most
curious, and at the same time most
luxurious bachelors quarters in the city.
Few people ever saw it, but it Was filed

AMI out of the way things to such; AN ex-
tent as 10 eclipse even Dion Boucicaults
famous snnggery. Mr.. Hnrlbert resided
H. the old University building. This is
curious structure, and as it is likely
soon 10 cease being used as a hall Of
learning, few words about it now will
not be amiss. It is built in the quaint
architectural style prevalent in the early
part cf last century. It's exterior is
chi, fly Gothic. Its interior is made mp
of antique looking rooms, with high old
fashioned windows and floors which
show tho tooth of time. These rooms
are Edivided ty corridors which rrn
everywhere and seem to end nowhere.
You meet stair-cas at every turn, but un-
less you are intimately acquainted with
the building you never learn where they
lead to. Yol are bound to lose yourself.
One wipg Of the building has for some
years been let to dodgers. MIR. Hurlbert
occupied suit of ror ms in this wing. 1t
had three entrances, and only the occu-
pant and his sable valet knew how many
staIr-cases led to it. Thus the occupant
CO I'D GO in and out whenever it suited
him, and no ono could follow him. It
was mysterious place of residence
which suited the occupants peculiar
taste. He had fancy OF posing as kind
of Monte Christie, aud his rooms here
afforded him ine stage for .he exercise
of his penchant.
The University itself is rapidly ap.
pr aching dissolution. The trustees
some years ago decided to make instruc-
tile. Tie fellows and alumni came o
the rescu,, but without avail. Tie
alumni insist that if the President. DR.,
Howard Crosby, had been r. moved years
ago, the old place might have been saved.
He is cold. hard man, whose morality
an virtue is mathematically strict; but
he has no human sympathy aud thus he
repels and antagonizes where be should
attract.
S,lmi Morse told me yesterday, that
the Mayor had promised him license
fot his theatre this week, on condition
that he would not produce the Passion
Play. He opens next Monday with his
new play "a Bustls among Petticoats,"
with Dora Stuart aud Frederick Paulding
in the cast. "My fight for the Passion
Play cost me slS,0OO," said lie. Il
must now do something to make good
these losses"
