Another department IN which reform has
been prominently manifested is the public
schools OF the city. A few months ago
the TACT began to be realized that perfect
system and thorough organization was
necessary in the city schools. The Office
of superintendent of city schools was
created and Prof. g. A. Hays, product
of Tennessec's literary soil, elected to the
the position. Prof. HAYS, although
comparatively young man, has estab-
lished a reputation as the best educator
and most thorough. organizer OF schools in
the State. Under his management the
schools of Hot Springs have been brought
to rank equal with any and setond to none
in Arkansas. There has been reform in
bath houses, in exorbitant drug store
charges and many other things which
might be mentioned.

A HEAVY HAUL.
A Railroad Safe Robbed OF Twenty
Seven Thousand Dollars.
Criminal Carejessness of the Paymaster
How il ssas Done.

CHicAGo; March Last Saturday about
l o'clock in the afternoon, Paymaster G.
S. Bartlett, of the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy railroad, left his Office for
lunch without taking the precaution to
close the combination of the big safe in
which the money for the payment of
employees was deposited. On leaving the
room he did so without waiting the return
of the other attaches of the office, who
had all gone to lunch. Before his return
the safe was robbed of all its contents,
with the exception OF some packages of
nickels and small change, the total amount
disappearing, as near as the company off
cials can estimate, being 81 900. On the
facts becoming known, and an fnvestiga-
ton being Instituted, Paymaster Bartlett
was discharged from the service of the
company for negligence, and the matter
placed in the hands of detectives. An
effort was made to keep the affair secret
in the hone that the detectives would be
facilitated in their Work, but the analr vv-
coming kno gn, and in the belief that an
exaggerated statement would be published
concerning the robbery, the officials
showed Willingness that the exact
facts be furnished the public. The
theory advanced by the treasurer of
the company is that the robbery
was accomplished by snesk-thiet. Two
doors lead into the customs office from a
vacant room, one OF which was found ajar
on the paymaster's return. The paymas-
ter's noom is located in the general offices
OF the company, on the second floor OF
the building, and was constructed espe-
cially with view to guard against intru-
sion or theft; but in this instance the most
ordinary precautions appear to have been
ignored. The explanation given by the
paymaster is that it was supposed that
the vacant room adjoining his office was
always Kept locked, but in this case it was
proved otherwise. This door was close TO
and adjoining the vault in which the safe
was located. When the paymaster left the
room the cashier of the company and an
assistant remained, who occupy practically
the same room, but sit at desks removed
from the vault, anil onele partially con-
ceals the entrance to the vault, Sc that any
enc entering IRON the vacant room could
have accomplished the robbery without
their knowledge. The paymaster assumes
thatthe robbery must have been commit
ted by some one having a complete knowl-
edge of the room and the habits of its oc-
cupants.

Reform the Order of the Say-Ehaf Has

Special to the Appeal
HoT SPRINGS, March 5.--Reform, with a
big +, is the order of the day here. 1t
began about a year ago when war was de-
clared against runners, ropers and steerers
for cuack doctors and snide hotels. This
business of roping and steering had
reached a point where it amounted almost
to highway robbery. The runner would
meet an unsophisticated visitor at the
depot and steer him to snide hotel,
where his board for a month was collected
in advance, and in less than three days he
would be 'froze OUT by being fed on
diet composed chiefly of bread and water,
and left to shiver in his bed at night with
out cover till he was forced to seek other
quarters, forfeiting what he had paid in
advance. A rough customer from Texas
came to this modern Jericho last spring and
fell among these ropers. A hotel collected
his board in advance and then began
the treeze-out game on him. He saw the
scheme but told them TO clay on, Macduff,"
he had come to stay, and was determined
they should have the benefit of his society
a solid month. When the next train CAME
in the omnibus drove up to the hotel door
with half dozen new customers, but they
did not get out. The Texan was on the
front step and watned them not to stop
unless they could ''liye by bread alone"

A DESPERADO'S DEATH.
The Murderer OF Thirteen EEen Hangs
Himself la His
Cell In the Illinois Penitenfiary-A long
Career of Crime Ended.

CHcAGo, March IA telephone mes
sage to the Daily NeCs states that Frank
Rande, the desperate who made the at
tempt upon the life of Deputy Mcdonald
last Saturday night at Joliet, and who was
placed in solitary confinement, succeeded
in ending his career by hanging himself
last night. Rande's real name was Chas
G. Scott. He killed no less than five men
in 1877, and is supposed to have murdered
thirteen persons in Indiana, Illinois and
Missouri. He was originally sentenced TO
the Iowa penitentiary for burglary, but
escaped, and fearing arrest became &
tramp. He was afterward sent to the
Michigan City prison for burglary I'M
der another name, and left there in
1877. He robbed farmer near Gibson,
ILL.,, and being pursued by a party OF six,
he killed two and wounded three others.
He committed an almost similar robbery
near st. Elmo, ILL.,, and being followed by
party OF citizens killed three of the lat
ter and escaped. He was finally captured
in st. Louis after desperate struggle with
an officer, and on his trial for the ellison
tragedy escaped with q life sentence. His
prison life has been marked with three or
four acts of desperation similar to that of
last Saturday night. He used his under
clothing to effect his death, and his life-
less body was discovered on opening the

some-of msnj-cf the girls of the pres
cnt day Laundresses that wssh for school
girls could make strange revelations OF
neglect OF garments and careless repairs,
Were not their lips sealed through fear Of
losing good customers.
THE general complaint is that the greater
part OF our girls are not fit TO be good
wives, mothers and housekeepers. As
wives; they forget what they owe to their
husbands; are capricious and vain, often
light and frivolous, extravagant and fool-
ish, bent on having their own way, though
ruinous to the family, and generally con-
triving, by coaxings, Establishments or
poutings, to get it. They hold obedience
in horror, and seek only to govern their
husbands and all around them Asmoth-
ers, they not only neglect, but disdain,
the retired and simple domestic virtues,
and scorn to be tied down to the modest,
but essential duties-.he drudgery, they
call it-of mothers; they manage to be re-
lieved OF household cares, especially of
child-bearing, and of the duty of bringing
up children.
