Just Indignation.

The danger to which respectable and law
abiding persons are exposed through the
reckless practice of criminals when arrested
to give at the police station a fictitious
name, was clearly shown few days ago
when upon being arrested for stealing some
jewelry at Palais Royal, Ruby Rodgers, n
shop-lifter, committed the additional and
greater crime of assuming the name of
Bessie Perry, young lady of the highest
respectability and whom our citizens de-
light to honor. No lady of the age of Miss
Bessie Perry is better known or more uni
versally esteemed in this community. Pos
sessing literary talents and accomplish
ments of the highest order, she has been
eagerly sought to assist in the promotion of
every worthy object, and has ever cheer
fully lentsher aid, and before numberless
audiences she has won such plaudits as her
readings and recitations have richly de-
served and made thousands of friends who
are furious at the attempt of a criminal to
drag this lady's fair name into the police
records. Miss Perry and parents and sister
are all honored and highly esteemed mem
bers of the Order of Good Templars, which
organization in common with Miss Perrys
host of other friends are determined that
Ruby Rodgers shall pay the full penalty OF
her malicious libel.

TO the EditorQr The Egeninq Critic:
Will the editor of THE CRITIC take q
look at the little faded strips of dingy
black cambric tied over the front, east en-
trance of the Treasury Department, intend
ed to represent mourning for the dead
Secretary Morrill,, and in his most pensive
strain lament the pitiful poverty which so
insults the memory of the dead? Is it
burlesque, or is it an attempt at economy |?
When an old gray-haired messenger asked,
during this dreadful week of snow and
slush, for car. ticket to take him to the
Capitol on some errand for the Depart.
ment, and took the privilege of reminding
the chief eunuch that such had always
been the custom, he was told, "It is not the
custom now; too much Government money
has already been squandered. What
are your feet made for?" This old
man walked, came back with wet feet
wet with ice. If he is sick from this addi-
tional exposure every day, will his pay be
unlawfully deducted? Who will feed his
dependents and pay his doctors bill2

OvcrcOuleth.


To him that overcometh,
word divinely strong,
The victor's palm, the fadeless wreath,
The grand immortal song.
And his the hidden mama,
And his the polished stone,
Within whose whiteness shines the name,
Revealed to him alone.
To him that overcometh-
All, what of bitter strife
Before he win the battles gage
And snatch the crown OF llfei
What whjrl of crossing weapons,
What CLEAN OF flashing eyes
What stern debate with naughty foes,
Must be before the prize.
To him that overcometh
Shall trials aye befa1l.
The World, the Flesh, the Devil,
He needs must face them all.
Sweet sirens of temptation
May lure with silver strain.
And cope he must with subtle foes.
And blaDch meath fiery pain.
To him that overcometh
A mighty help is pledged;
He wields a sword OF purest mould,
By use OF cycles edged.
And prophets and confessors,
matchless valiant band,
Have vanquished earth, and stormed the skies
With that triumphant brand.
To him that overcometh
promise dearest dear
The Lord himself who died for him
Will evermore be near.
Here, dust upon his garments,
There, robes that royal be.
For "0n my throne," tho King hath said,
"Mine own shall sit with me-"
To him that overcometh,
o word divinely strong
1t wenves itself through weary hours
Like some rejoicing song.
For his tho hidden mamma,
And his the song unknown,
Which Christ the Lord one day of days
VIII tell to him alone.
