THANKFUL PRINTERS.

WASHINGTON, ID. G., Mar 27.-Heretofore,
in several instances, when the departments
of the government have been ordered closed
on the occasion of the death of prominent
public official during the day of the funeral
Obsequies, the government printing Office has
been ignored, and the employees of that es-
tablishment have been excepted from the
general order. While it may not be cassed
as an executive department, perhaps there
ought surely to be no discrimination against
it when orders are made for the closing of
government departments. l. as well as every
cmployc in the institution, am glad to see
that President Arthur recognizes those con-
nccted with it as worthy the same considera-
tion as those employed by the government in
all other departments. lie has the thanks of
all for his special order for treating the
printers and binders the same as the clerks
by ordering the office closed the day of the
funeral obscquies of ex-Postmaster General
Howe. Respectfully, w.

to a reporter last night, in the presence of

NOT GUILTY.
Percy Howard Proved Innocent OF THEFT
by n Lucky Find.


Some time ago a little boy about eleven
years old, and named Percy Howard, applied
at the associated charities saying he had no
home. Upon investigation it was found that
his father who is United States consular agent
at Hull, England, had made arrangements be-
fore he left the country to board his boy with
a lady in Uniontown. She i'll l-treated him, as he
afterwards claimed, and he ran away. Mr.. l..
s. Emery took and kept him for several
months, when the little fellow, who is very
bright and very ill-trainod, again ran away.
He was found on the street by a lady who took
him home with her and cared for him Some
time afterwards she lost diamond pin and
suspicion pointing to the child as the thief
she caused his arrest The lady came to see
him and promised If he would confess the
theft he might 20 to his father otherwise he
should be imprisoned The boy then said he
had picked up pin on the kitchen floor,
whether diamond or nothe did not know, and
put into q cigar box where he had other
trinkets. This cigar box, with its contents
he had thrown into the stove and IL was con-
sumed. He was tried next morning in the
police court, his confession being used against
him. Mr. Emery, who had stood by
the little fellow through thick and thin re-
qucsted the Judge to suspend sentence, stat
ing he would at once take him to New York
and put him aboard q steamer for England,
the boys father havingsent the money to pay
his passage. Judge Smell consented, and the
little fellow was seen safely aboard the
steamer by Mr.. Emery, leaving the country
with a glad heart but heavy cloud upon
his reputation for honesty. few days ago,
to the great joy OF the little fellows friends
in this city, the diamond pin which he was
suspected of stealing was found by the lady
who had missed it. 1t was found wrapped up
in piece of old paper and lay in the casket
where was kept the family silver. This vim
dication of his innocence is matter of re-
ioicing among the few friends the lad had in
this city, who, while recognizing that he stood
sadly in need Of proper training, yet believed
that he was honest and honorable.

Justice to a Murdered WOman's
Memory.

aHWAthCe W a NeOsNNseAA
Memory.
Tardy PREPARATION has at length
been made to the memory of NOR
tally wronged German woman, whose
name has been unjustly held up to
public scorn and contumely in the
place of her birth for more than two
centuries and a half. In tho year
1917 the city of Tangermuende was
destroyed by FIRE, and tive years later
several persons were tried, condemn
ed and executed at Brandsnburg for
acts of incendisrism, alleged to have
caused the calamity in question
Among those who suffered was Crete
Minden, the daughter of Tanger-
muende patriciau. She was stripped
and chained to a tall post in the
market place. The five fingers OF her
right hand were torn off with red hot
pincers. Her arms and breasts were
deeply scared with red hot irons.
Finally she was burned to death slow
ly. From first to last her martyrdom
lasted nearly an hour.
Ever since that time so-cGiied
"Confagration Sermon" has been
preached on every successive four
teenth Sunday after TriRlty in the
principal Tangermueide church.
This discourse describes Crete Min.
den as an abominable monster, the
refuse of mankind, who burned down
her native town to revege herself on
the municipality for, as she believed,
Withholding her psternal inheritance.
1t was story by the eminent novelist,
Theodore Fontaue, in which Crete
Minden figured as heroine, that
suggested an investigation of the
documentary evidence connected
with her case to Ludolf Parisius,
member of the Reichstag, and this
gentleman found out that the unfor-
tunate woman had most undoubtedly.
been the victim of a Judicial murder.
He lost ne time in communicating
his discovery TO the Tangermuende
authorities, and on Sunday, the 10th
of September, when the clergyman
assembled the pulpit to preach the
.264lh "Conhagrstion Sermon" he
prefsced his discourse by announcing
to the congregation that recent in
quiry into the origin OF the great
Tangermuende fire had completely
sxonerated Crete Minden from any
complicity with the authors of that
catastrophe. For many days before
aud after the fire she had been lying
on bed Of sickness many miles from
Tangermuende. Subsequently she
had been wrongfully accused senteuc
ed. tortured. and done to death with
the utmost barbarity, an absolutely
innocent woman.
