UNLAWFUL OFFSPRING.
The Evening Wisconsin contains the
following editorial: The annual report
of the doings of the Milwaukee county
hospital for the year 1882, contains
some information which, if not start
ling, is certainly not pleasant. For
instance, of the 81 women admitted to
to the wards for obstetrics, 42 were un-
married. This is the index to fright
fully advanced condition of the social
evil in this city. These AZ illegitimate
mothers represent only certain por-
ton Of that certain class who are too
poor, or whose friends are too poor, to
hide their shame from the public.
They must therefore, perforce, go to
the public hospital.
This leaves the greater share of the
offspring of unmarried women un-
known to the public. Many of the
births, through the aid of quack doc
tors, are premature. Thus the crime
is doubled, through the material evi
dence of degradation Is destroyed. II
full justice could be done, it is probable
that upwards of 200 men would
20 out of Milwaukee every yeal
to the state prison, to be
punished for illegitimate parent
age. Even if the forty-two fathers o
the unlawful children born last year in
the county hospital could have beer
placed behind the bars, some CHECK
upon this monstrous festival of crime
would undoubtedly be noticed.
Many people will fail to understand
why, if it was publicly known that A
unlawful children were born last yeal
in Milwaukee, the proper officials die
! not 60 forward with AZ vigorous anc
unrelenting Investigations and arrest a,
many of the authors Of this wicked
ness as could be discovered. Undoubt
edly tlere was dereliction of duty
somewhere, which should be stoPpet
from this day forth.

The Presidents Son.

WHY HIS WAS BsUNcEp FROM PRINCETON.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-Young Allen
Arthur, the son of the president, was
recently suspended from Princeton col.
lege. A gentleman who recently visit
ed Princeton college gives the follow
ing account of the cause of young Ar
thurs susp ension in company with
son of Gen. George B. Mcclellan and
a son Of Libby, the New York man who
has given so much money TO Princeton.
Several Harvard students came to
Princeton for visit Twenty Prince
ton boys, including the three above
mentioned, arranged wine supper for
the Harvard visitors at enc of the local
hotels. When the supper had reached
Its conclusion tue young men
were in the usual happy frame
of mind natural to the con-
clusion of wine feast. The guests
concluded not to so home. Just above
the supper 100 was line of bedrooms
assigned to the chamhermaids of the
hotel. Il was thouehtto to be = god lark
to SO up aud drive out the girls and
capture their quarters. The frail doors
were kicked in, and the girls fed,
shrleklng, down stairs. The aacient
housekeeper, awakened by tho racket,
came out just as the hall was cleared.
She left her door open and walked
down the hall i'll her night gown, hunt
ing for the cause OF the trouble. Two
of the supper crowd came up near her
room, supporting in their arms a very
tired student. Seeing her room open,
they ran in there and put their weary
friend in the old lady's bed. As they
came out the door slammed to
and fastened with spring lock.
Sc when the houskeeper returned she
found herself locked out. Then she
raised an outery which brought all of
the students out of their rooms. Young
Arthur and Mcclellan came out with
guitars and began to serenade the thin
ly-attired housekeeper. She thought
the young men were bringing disgrace
upon the chambermaids and sounded
n fire alarm. This aroused everybody.
The students were captured. II was )
o'clock before the housekeeper and her
girls were restored to their quarters.
All the students connected with the
frelic were suspended, but as the esca-
psde was really innocent, no COM
plants being made, the students were
last week taken back.
