hood. Their instincts are british.
At the same time they never beat wo-
, men the same ~ white or colored ruf.
, fans do. This is perhaps because
they are not physically able 10 do 20.
They thus make friends Of the aban-
doned women with whom they take
up. Now, the strange part comes in.
A woman Of ill.repute, no matter how
low she sinks, will rarely induce young
girls to follow = life similar to hers.
But the moment she takes up with
Cinnamon, her sole object seems to be
to lead others, and particularly young
girls from ID and IA upward, to .
similar life. This 10 . fact which .
lpolice officer Of good standing called
my attention to, and which fully shows
the horrible influence these Oriental
dsvils are welding. It u to be hoped
now, that Christian men have taken
hold Of the matter energetically, this
plague spot Of metropolitan life will
be rooted out. And with the head
and center Of the Chinese colony of
villains in prison, it will not be 80 diff
cult to quell the rest Of the colony in.
to submission to morality and the laws.
The sale Of the World newspaper is
still the topic Of conversation in jour.
nalistic and financial circles. Jay
Gould has come out in IN interview
declaring that he is glad he got rid Of
it. On the other hand It is asserted
that Mr.. Gould owns a. much Of the
World as ever before; that Mr.. Pulitz.
er ha: simply obtained what shares the
previous editor, Mr.. Hurlburt, had,
and the whole transaction is simply
blind, to d,sprove TO the public At large
that Mr.. Gould had any intention of
muzzling the country at large by OBJ
tanning control of the Associated Press.
The retired editor of the World goes
to Europe shortly, and that will result
in the breaking-up of one of the most
curious, and at the same time most
luxurious bachelor quarters in the
city. Few people ever saw it, but it
was filed with curios, bronzes, bric-a.
brac, books, and out of the way things
to such an extent Is to eclipse even
Dion Boucicault's famous snuggery.
Mr.. Hurlburt resided in the old Uni
versity building. This is = curious
structure, and as it is likely soon to
cease being used a. hall Of learning,
few words about it now will not be
amiss. It's built in the quaint archi-
tectural style prevalent in the early
part of last century. IT. exterior is
chiefly Gothic. Its interior is made
no Of antique looking rooms, with high
old fashioned windows and floors
which show the tooth of time. These
rooms are divided by corridors which
run everywhere and seem to end no.
where. You meet stair.cases at every
turn, but unless you are intimately &C.
quainted with the building you never
learn where they lead to. You are
bound to lose yourself. One wing of
the building has for some years been
let to dodgers. Mr.. Hurlburt occupied
a suite of rooms in this wing. 1t had
three entrances, and only the occupant
and his sable valet knew how many
stair cases led to it. Thus the occu.
pant could 60 in and out whenever it
suited him, and no one could follow
him. 1t was a mysterious place Of
residence which suited the occupants
peculiar taste. He had . fancy Of
posing as q sort of Monte Christie, and
his rooms here afforded him . 6ne
stage for the exercise of his penchant.
The University itself is rapidly ap.
preaching dissolution. The trustees
some years ago decided to make in.
struction free, but even this did not
stem the tide. The fellows and alum.
nj came to the rescue, but without
avail. The alumni insist that il the
President, DR.. Howard Crosby, mad
beer removed years ago, the old place
might have been saved. He isa cold.
