DETRAYED M HIS MISTRESS,


His trunk had been broken omen and
riiled and the Store generally sacked. The
murderer was never found, but from the
savage character OF the assault it WIS
deemed TO be one OF the dead mans own
race. The police claim to have proof that
Tom Sing was the murderer for gain.
The detectives arrested the German
companion Of the Chinaman and took her
to the police headquarters. Tom Sing had
claimed he knew OF nothing OF the Newark
outrage and that he was in New York the
day it occurred. The girl, after much cry
ing and hesitation, admitted tlSat on the
day Of the assault site had given him
money to 80 to Newark, that he
had gone there, for what purpose she did
not know, and returned at night with his
clothes torn and apparently much worried
and that on being questioned by her he
had admitted he had been with party
who had robbed, and they thought killed
a Chinaman in the New Jersey town.
They had, he said, tied him and chopped
him up with an axe and afterwards strung
him up to rafter, thinking him dead.
The Chinese consul secured the attend
ance to-day OF witnesses from Newark
who positively identify the prisoner rs one
OF the would-be murderers.

Boys, Let it Alone.

What had young man better do
about the drink question? He had
better never taste nor touch it so long
as the world stands. He had better
talk against it, vote against it, and
cause his example and influence to be
all against it. He had better not be
wavering but settled, have his mind
made up and be ready to resist every
temptation, and so not get into the
mre on that subject. A few glasses
seals mans life on that question, a
few bouts with drinking companions
changes ones whole influence from
positive to negative, without his iu'
tending it. 1t is better to be fixed Oh
solid foundations from the beginning.
Why? What are the strong reasons
Because it is an expensive habit. Il
eats up time ana clothes and good
books. 1t swallows farms and factories,
and whole business houses. Saying
the least, it puts great deal of money
to the lowest and poorest use, and rob;
one of better things.
1t is destroyer of health, as we'll as
master of time. 1t takes away the
elastic step and fine manhood, and
brings a man down, as a viper fasten'
ing on an eagle takes him out of the
sky, and at last he falls wounded and
dead. 1t leads into bad company. II
will never fail to find its own kind Of
railers, and accusers, and swearers.
1t degrades a good name and blights q
fair life, taking away hope and courage.
1t disfgures and defles. the man. An
old soaker is hideous sight, but he
was comely and clean young man
once. A sot is a wen on the neck Of
society, scab on the body polite, but
he was a beautiful young man to start
with.
