Something New Under the Sun
A new erea is dawning upon women.
Hitherto she has been called upon to
suffer the Ills of mankind and her own
besides. The frequent and distress,
ing irregularities peculiar to her sex
have long been to her the "direful
spring Of woes mnumbered. In the
mansion Of the rich and hovel of pow
erty alike woman has been the CON
stant yet patient victim of a thousand
ills unknown to man-and without a
remedy. "Oh Lord, how long!" in
the agony Of her soul, hath she cried.
But now the hour of her redemption
is come. She will suffer no more, for

profit by it.
The camp meeting closed at Double

G. w. Sims, Esq, handed us The

We appreciate it more highly on that
account.
An ice cream and cake supper Was
given at Clark's Hall Thursday night

Attention is called to a continued

Thc DctcctIvc snnn,inl.

1t has already been stated by the THE RE.
PUBLICAN, since the detectives were legis-
lated out Of office, it is sure that tho appro-
hcnsion of criminals has been very efficiently
done by the police under the direction of tho
lieutenants. Tho liCutonants were enioined
to take care of all cases Of felony reported in
their respective precincts, and to detail such
men as had shown .daptation for detective
work to those classes of cases. The results,
so far, have been very gratifying and it is
thought that some good detectives will be de-
veloped from these officers.
There were summoned yesterday to appear
before the grand jury, in the police nvesti-
CATION business, Il. B. Hughes, Ben Cooley,
Robert Riley, Jesse Matthew'S Daniel Long,
Commissioner Morgan, and DIR. Charles White
These were examined upon the various mat
ters brought out in the charges against tho
detectives. The REPUBLICAN has already
intimated that several of those who had been
connected with these matters had made con-
fessOns, and it is stated that others are to
take similar action. When these confessions
are made public they will make very inter-
esting reading.

who was arrested upon warrant charging

street. and who was fined $5, was again
arrested on Wednesday and the trial set for
an carly day next week The young LADY,
friends are highly indignant about this

as spite work. Miss Thielich is dress

prominent persons. She said last night that
she was employed by Mrs. Latham for three
years to do sewing. On Thursday u week
ago she left the house, asking leave to ro-
main away until Monday morning. When

q warrant sworn out by Mrs. Latham,
charging her with stealing the slippers, for
which she was fined 50, making no defense.
Mrs. Latham did not put in an appearance,
but sent n note asking that she be prosecuted.
On Wednesday another warrant was sworn
out by Mrs. Latham for the larceny of skirt,
which Miss Thielicki says she carried home
to mend Mrs. Latham has had considerable
trouble with her employees said Miss THE
liclti, and this is not the first time she has
had one of them arrested, but her friends
generally interfere before serious damage is
done
